Yeah, it's the strangest thing. This happened to me as well only it was a password and not a pin. I honestly thought it was a mistake on my part. About a day after initially getting the device and setting up the fingerprint and password, my phone died ( I was using Gear VR and it didn't alert me that battery was even low), and when I rebooted it said something like " enter password for storage encryption" or something of the sort. I assumed it was my unlock password but it wasn't working....

So I looked all over the internet and all I could find were recommendations to try your normal unlock password. I tried and tried until I got the dreaded "you have 9 attempts remaining before factory reset" popped up. That's when I thought back to when I first set up the password and how I wasn't used to the edge of the screen yet. So I kept accidentally hitting keys on the edge while I was typing (because normally you can rest your hand on the edge, but on this if you do that you're pressing the edge of the screen). So I tried my exact password with one of the characters as a common "typo" that I kept making for that letter. And voila! It worked! Now the weirdness continues.

At this point I'm happy I figured it out but found it SO odd that I typed that password so many times and input a typo.... I must had used that password at least 15 times over that day....the odds of me doing a typo every time..slim. So the whole thing felt extremely sketch so I immediately went to change the password (and just turn off security in general, don't need it, just was playing around with fingerprint and needed password) after it booted up. And, of course, even with the typo the pass no longer worked. I tried it until the wait time between each try was an hour, heh. I tried all sorts of typo variations of the password, but to no avail. But, at least the phone was now ON. So I was able to backup my SMS, Apps, Settings, Themes, etc and prepare for the factory reset. What a wild ride.

I have no idea why it even happened in the first place. I never turned on any encryption and I never turned on "require password on boot up." Those settings were even toggled off when I checked while the phone was still on. (couldn't see all settings without password though).

Even weirder, I have no idea why the password with the typo even worked that one time to get it to boot. That same password never worked again.

IDK how widespread this is, but be CAUTIOUS and back up the things that you need to. Also, sign up for a Find My Mobile type service to unlock your phone and give you remote access should happen to you. Or just disable the security altogether until they announce a bug fix for this issue. I thought I was the only one with this issue and chalked it up to a weird freak occurrence. So thanks for the topic as I now know it wasn't just me.

Weird. Wonder what's triggering this. I've had my device since March 11 and haven't had it happen (yet). Hrmph.

Update RE: my Sprint S7 with spontaneous pin change

Sprint S7 . I bought my phone 2 weeks ago, about 1 week in the PIN # (I had a 4 digit #) spontaneously changed. I could only get in with my finger print which only works 1/2 the time (don't both trying if your hands were just washed or out of the shower).

I decided to do a factory reset on Tuesday night and used a pattern tracing instead of a # pin. The phone worked fine for 2 days and then it happened again this morning. The pattern was spontaneously changed. I called Sprint, they told me they've heard nothing. I called Samsung same story there. I did try to power off the device (which I hadn't tried before) and turned the phone back on, it did recoganize the original password. So try shutting down and restarting...it might recognize it again. or try safe mode. I'm trying to trouble shoot this. I think the ADT app might be to blame?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] adrand:
This happened to me last week as well. A couple reboots cleared it up. Very odd though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kbrosnihan:
Saved my freaking life man! Same thing happened to my wife's phone. I went into Boot Mode (power down, the on power up hold power and volume down button), then selected start phone normally.

Her original PIN worked! She was freaking out!

Thank you!

Not sure if Boot Mode was needed or just a normal reboot... But it's fixed!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nm1605:
Same problem. Luckily I barely use this phone for anything other than calls. I did a hard reset immediately. You guys are not the only ones out there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dquackguild:
My Samsung S7 Edge just did the same thing this AM. PIN changed, no idea what it is. Fingerprint works. Will back it up and do the reboot first. TMobile so this issue is not Sprint specific.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] HamBone625:
This just happened to my wife's s7 (Verizon) if you reboot the phone for any reason the back up pin or pattern is required it which it was but doesn't work... And of course were not sure if she made a Samsung account cause if you have a Samsung account supposedly you can change the password from a browser through that site. With this and the screen randomly shutting off and not coming back to life til you run through the boot menu I'm not so sure I'll be getting another Samsung phone.

This glitch of auto PIN change occurred on my Verizon S7

:crying: To be clear, this occurs on other carriers as I am using Verizon. Issue: PIN is no longer recognized but fingerprint works only until the device is rebooted. If rebooted, fingerprint no longer works and all you can do is receive calls. Samsung advised me that Verizon has a way to reset password.

As I write, Verizon (a level 2 tier tech named William) was able to show me how to fix this by logging into my Google account, and enabling "lock and erase" and clicking on "lock" I was able to change my PIN and my phone works fine! Now I am updating the software as Samsung released a software update on September 1, 2016, that fixes the problem. A word to everyone: be sure your google account is active and includes your S7. Be sure to download the software update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] HamBone625:
I tried the Google method but every time I try to change the pin it just tells me that Google verified that there is already a lock screen pin so the new pin/password won't be necessary.. l would love to find a fairly simple route as all the adb pin/password removal videos and such are a little different and well it's my wife's phone so it's a little more important to save her stuff then mine

Hi guys.

Trying not to panic right now. Flashed TWRP on my phone, 3.0, all good. Then proceed to flash ROOT, and it got stuck on the bootloader warning.

Tried flashing another version of ROOT on top, and it didn't solve the problem, but was able to reach boot animation.

After searching, i saw it's possible to unbrick device by reflashing stock rom. Can also solve the problem by flashing CM 13 lux instead?

Update: going to try it now. Whish me luck!!! :(
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0luti0n_:
success with installing the CM13! working perfect. Now just choosing which gapps to install.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
Which is better.... Fire Stick or the AFTV2?

I've created this thread because alot of new Amazon forum members sometimes ask which device should they buy? Here is my option about the Firestick & the AFTV 2

What can they do?

The fire Tv 2 can add mirco sd card or usb stick for more storage, you can add a usb keyboard, usb controllers, play more compatible games on it, also play old arcade & games console games via emulator apps on it, rooting from the aftv2 is already been done & is not too hard to do (if you follow the steps properly), you can have a custom recovery (Twrp) & a prerooted stock rom (custom firmware), you can install the playstore & also install Xposed firmware/load modules (if wanted), block Amazon mandatory updates, & use ad blocker apps.

The stick at the moment can only be rooted with the Kingroot app & can use ad blocker apps after that is done, development is on the way for custom recovery/prerooted rom & you can use usb keyboard access at the moment using a version of a OTG (OnTheGo cable) but some adb commands are needed to make it work.

PLEASE NOTE

If you use the Kingroot app do not try to use SuperSUme or SuperSUme Pro to swap/replace Kingroot because after the 1st reboot of the system after root was successful the Firesticks & AFTV's on Gen 1 & 2 have been reported as being bricked by many forum members & so far none have been reported to have been unbricked from that. (You have been warned)

In my opinion the Amazon Fire Tv 2 is better.... but we also have two Fire Tv Sticks which we use in our house so it's not like the Firestick isn't up to scratch.

Hope this information helps & if so press that thanks button

I am by no means a developer or anything of the sort. I do have been doing stuff like this for a little while, but I am a pot head and sometimes can be forgetful. Anyway I have 2 tablets an RCA 7" rct6773w322 and a Nextbook 8" nx008hd8g. I have been looking for ways to root both and it's been frustrating. Both are rooted now, but I want custom recovery. I somehow deleted my recovery all together on the RCA tablet. I have tried everything I came across on the net. I have all the right tools ADB, kitchen, n++, and probably any others I might need. At this point I just want to put a recovery on the RCA tablet period. I am willing to try anything I hope someone out there can help me.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] annson08:
As plenty of us know, G930F and G930FD have the same structure and they both share the same firmware (yes, the firmware for G930F is also for G930FD). That is also the case with our older brother, the Galaxy S7 Edge G935F/FD.

The Duos variant will remain, well, a dual sim one even when flashing the G930F's firmware.

I just found out what file to modify for the duos variant to convert it to a single sim one. However, I've encountered something that prevents me to continue.

I don't know if this file is also present for the single sim variant and if it can be modified for them to obtain dual sim capability.

So, here, let's start the discussion.

First of all, I have TWRP installed, have dm-veriety triggered, decrypted /data partition, on Custom Rom (Echoe Eom).

If you have a root browser (ie Root Explorer, ES file explorer, etc.) go and browse the /efs partition and open up factory.prop

There is only one line there, the ro.miltisim.simslotcount=2

I tried changing its value to "1" and reboot. Upon reboot my phone will display a sim card mismatch error and that the sim card settings has been changed from dual sim to single sim and needed a factory reset (see photo).

After accepting a factory reset, my phone will just do a normal boot and the factory.prop will revert back to its original value.

I've tried several things, doing a manual factory reset through TWRP after modifying factory.prop (didn't work)

Flashing a stock rom after modifying factory.prop didn't work too.

Flashing a stock rom, flashing TWRP, rooting, enabling system modification, modifying factory.prop, reflashing stock recovery, and doing a factory reset still doesn't work.

So there we go, maybe someone has better ideas, you can freely share it here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gunemalli:
Yeah, Have to ask the same question. If you're not putting a second SIM on the slot, then essentially it's a single SIM phone. Yes you've got the icon to show SIM1/2 but that won't bother you after some time.

I've had the phone for just over 2 weeks and it never had an issue being a Duos. I was initially sad about it but now don't have any regrets. Heck, I now take it as an advantage, I can have a backup SIM in case I had to take one and don't have to bother about taking another phone with me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jairus24:
Well, apparently the OP is from the Philippines and some people in our country thinks that a dual sim phone is a cheap China knockoff phone and they will do whatever they can do just to convert it into a single sim phone and some social climbers in our country even hate seeing the "Duos" logo on the back and the Sim1/Sim2 logo on SMS and call logs and they keep b*tching about it in forums. I'm not saying that OP is one of those people and I don't like to assume as he may have a different reason than I stated but as for me, I have no problems with it, it is still a premium phone regardless of being a dual sim or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] annson08:
Actually I have nothing against dual sim phones. And I had enough time in the community to differentiate a knockoff from a legit one.

As I have mentioned, the single sim variants may have the same file and might be able to convert theirs into a dual sim one, now that's something.

You know, when you spend too much time in the community, when developments seem to slow down, you tend to search for developments yourself. At least, that's the case for me, heck, that's the reason i'm on android after all.

Whoever said that you can't change Samsung S7 Edge SINGLE SIM to Samsung S7 Edge DUO was wrong. (you cant change hardware, but software yes)

Let me explain you how, well partially (look at the screenshots)

I have a Samsung S7 Edge which model is SM- G935F

One day i decided to tell my phone operator company i've lost the phone and reported its IMEI (dont ask why, it had to do something with inssurance)

Then i vent to one local software shop and told them to unlock my phone's imei, it was reported as lost/stolen

What they did was > Instal CUSTOM ROM of DUAL SIM SAMSUNG S7 EDGE SM- G935FD on my phone and with use of MAGICBOX wrote new IMEI in it...

Now I have samsung s7 edge SM- G935FD with DUAL SIM ROM and it works on Any network...

So you can change blacklisted imei, and you also can converty your single SIM phone to dual, but only the ROM, obviously you can't stick 2 sim cards as there is no designed space for it.
