How to add password support to TWRP Recovery

https://techspirate.blogspot.com/2016/01/set-password-code-in-twrp-recovery.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lulli1:
Good first step. Thanks. But

1. With twrp 3.0.2.0 and above it don't work in my case

2. as long as the Bootmenu is accessable, you can send adb commands. So no real security.

Put on Device TWRP

And put PASSWORD on TWRP

AND PUT CERBERUS from RECOVERY and from Cerberus block power button.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hank87:
The best will be to put cerberus from recovery and then lock the bootloader again, I don't know if it can be done, so they cannot flash from recovery, and from fastboot neither.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuk190:
updating this post:

Technically its possible to put a password into fastboot and restrict download mode to accept unsigned files only when correct password is entered. (They can also put a option to reset the password with IMEI check into the manufacturer site)

But it is not good for big corporations as they lose revenue because people with root will block ads and much more...

thats why google and big companies use the logo "Sorry" for restricting the users for their "SECURITY" when its perfectly possible to have a secure phone with root.

Example in PC:

Windows 10 encripted+ Bios Password with usb/cd reader restriction. Well!

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

it can be done with special tools in some older devices in EDL MODE, or with a original signed vendor rom including that recovery haha but no company will do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzcool:
can someone fill me in on what has changed since 2015, i want to root my note 10+ and i am considering my options considering tripping knox will permanently ruin the phone but i am considering it as samsung pay and samsung secure folder and any other samsung specific feature are useless to me any way and i hate oneui with a passion, the problem being if i do unlock the bootloader then my files will be plainly accessible just connect the phone to a pc boot it up in recovery and thats it or boot it up in twrp and just tap a few buttons and there you have full access to absolutely everything these are two things that has made flashing more scary to me as a locked bootloader means it will be much more difficult to access the files and thieves likely won't care abou tthe files they'll likely just reset everything and sell it but if it's easy as 1 2 3 to access them then they can do that on the side for fun as it takes no effort, thats the difference between locked bootloader and not if it's locked it takes effort meaning it's not worth it for a thief if it's not of value but if it's unlocked it's like connecting a usb stick so a thief loses no time to just have a peak for fun or whatever at the files, someone mentioned using cerberus to password protect the recovery but i find nothing on that so what does that even mean?

Encryption is an option to bring a bit more security to unlocked devices with custom recovery. But that's a hazzle as well when changing roms often....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
A few weeks ago you posted a guide on one of my threads about how to reflash my Desire using a goldcard which worked great for me and I was able to reflash and reroot my Desire - I only followed your guide up to and including Step 2. as once I had a working phone again I wan't too bothered about the additional steps to take it back to stock ROM.

Since flashing a custom ROM (LeeDroid 2.3d) and a LOT of apps on a 16gb MicroSD card, the phone worked fine. However, over the last few days it started randomly rebooting and has gotten progressively worse.

I decided to reflash back to stock again using your guide (post #14 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892064&page=2).

The process completes but there is an error on one of the steps (step 6). After the reflash the screen shows the following :-

[1] BOOTLOADER - OK

[2] RADIO_V2 - OK

[3] RADIO_CUST - OK

[4] BOOT - OK

[5] RECOVERY - OK

[6] SYSTEM - Fail-PU

[7] USERDATA - OK

[8] SPLASH1 - OK

[9] SPLASH2 - OK

Partition update fail!

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No

Presumably, the PU in 'Fail-PU' means Partition update. The only thing is, I am flashing the PB99IMG.zip file from a goldcard as per the Droidzone guide - there is no partition on the goldcard.

Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any idea why it might be failing at step 6? The phone does actually boot up after the reflash but HTC Sense just goes into a repeated 'Force Close' loop. Is there a different ROM image I can try when using your process with the goldcard?

Since the reflash process does complete and the phone boots up (albiet with the HTC Sense 'force close' issue) I'm guessing it shouldn't be too difficult an issue to solve...I just need to know how to solve it.

I have downloaded the PB99IMG.zip file again just in case the original was corrupt, but I got the same result.

Any help or guidance you or anyone else can give is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
is my desire dead?

I've tried to reflash my Desire several times using Droidzone's guide over the last few days. Each time I was getting the Fail-PU message at when it was trying to install the System (step 6).

However, today things took a turn for the worse...I tried reflashing using the using the .exe file via fastboot. It appeared to be working until the end when it reported a fail and dropped into the HTC rom boot screen (black with 'htc' in big letters in the middle of the screen) with a small white triangle and exclamation mark in each corner of the screen.

No matter what I try I can get to the recovery screen.

Can anyone please help????

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celestialspring:
Try this:

press vol up and power and you get a small menu where you can delete recovery.img (assuming you're rooted).

Then install a RUU

Find your RUU here: www.shipped-roms.com
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celestialspring:
Are you using the original USB cable shipped with your desire? I know from experience that the non-originals cause problems.

cs
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
That didn't work

Thanks Celestialspring, but that didn't work because after following Droidzone's original guide (to step 2) the phone isn't rooted. The only screen I can get is the black screen with with the HTC lettered logo in the middle and a triangled exclamation in each corner. The phone will recognise RUU exe's via USB from this screen, but non of the RUUs work.

Hoping you might have some other ideas.

Will I be able to do anything via ADB (not that I've used it, but willing to try just about anything now)? I've also got a goldcard, not that I can get into recovery to use it.

By the way, sorry about the duplicate post, but I don't know how to edit the original title of the thread.

Hey did you try this??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831734
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
still no joy...

I've tried the unlockr method. The RUU shows the current image version on the phone as 2.29.405.2. The RUU exe I've tried to flash is the original T-Mobile stock (RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe). This appears to complete the first 4 stages of a ROM flash but then reports an error at the 'Sending' stage - ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.

I've also tried the above with what I believe to be the latest non branded stock rom (RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe) - 2.29.405.5 obviously being newer than 2.29.405.2 which RUU reports as being already on the phone. This time I get ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR.

I then tried the Modaco steps (your second link). This time, the RUU process went through all the steps but at the end brought up ERROR [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR. This time though, the RU utility gives the option to start a 'Recover' process. There are 4 steps to the Recover process.

There is a ReadMe file available when I get error 152 which states:

4.	Q: During the update, the progress bar is moving. If the error message (ERROR [150], [151]…[159]) appears, what should I do?

A: This may occur when the connection is lost, power is lost, the computer host is down, or due to other unexpected reasons. You will see some information on the Android phone’s screen. If the progress bar is moving, it means the update is processing, and your Android phone will reboot automatically and the update is successful. If your Android phone's screen shows exclamation marks in four corners, it means the update has failed. The Android phone will not be able to go into the Android screen. This problem usually can be recovered. You need to follow the instructions in the error message box, which is to reset the Android Phone and run the RUU again.

This seems to indicate the problem is to do with the connection between the phone and the PC. So I'm goning to perservere.

I have a couple of things still to try but am off to the football, I will update you later after I've tried these other things (including a different USB cable)

In the meantime, if you have any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. (I did look at the link in your post #14, but it refers to SLCD screens and mine is AMOLED, so reluctant to try that yet).

Thanks for the help, advice and tips so far,

Rich
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celestialspring:
Did u try a different pc?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
still no luck

Haven't tried a different PC yet. Have tried a different USB cable on the same PC as I've been using up to now, but that didn't work.

Will try a different PC tonight, though I don't really understand how that would work as the drivers, USB cable and ROM image will still be the same. Still going to give it a go though...at this stage I'll try just about anything.

If you've heard of any other fixes, then I'd love to hear them.

By the way, I tried the vol up and power button combo, but it didn't do anything. The only combo I know is vol down and power to bring up recovery menu. With black recovery screen with exclamation mark in each corner, none of the key combos do anything.

[UPDATE] Tried a different PC and, as I suspected, it didn't work

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
I think I've exhausted all options

After trying all of the hints and tips I've been given so far and a few I've found myself, I ve come to the conclusion the only way to fix the phone will be with a newer version of the ROM already installed (though I've tried one and that didn't work) or wait for an official T-mobile Gingerbread release (though I'm not sure they will do that).

It's all really annoying when all I really wanted to root for was to enable more storage on my phone - let's face it the storage space for apps on stock android phones is pathetic! If the manufacturers actually gave more storage for apps then I wouln'd feel the need to root.

Anyway, if anyone still has any (reasonable) suggestions after all of this then I'm still happy to hear them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celestialspring:
sorry mate, thats all I have for you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
Thanks anyway

Cheers anyway CelestialSpring. I might wait to see if Doridzone resurfaces with any other suggestions (I've emailed him a few days ago, but no reply).

Failing that I might have to bite the bullet and send it to HTC for a (paid for,due to void warranty) fix.

I have 4 different google calendars... Birthdays, Class Schedule, Assignments, and my regular personal Calendar. I want to be able to sync all of the calendars with WP7 but everywhere i've looked says it can only be done by syncing the calendars to outlook, then syncing outlook to the phone.

Has anyone figured out a way to do this without syncing it to Outlook? I already have an Outlook calendar for work and merging the two and not being able to differentiate them would just be a big mess...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] KrewsialNL:
Setup a google mail account (for each account of course)

Go in those accounts to settings > sync settings > and tick the option "calendar" where you will also find the option for mail and contacts :)

All the calendar items will appear in the calendar of WP7. Or at least, this is how it works for me :)

Edit:

Somebody might put some additional notes to this, as i have no idea if the calendar that is used is automatically the outlook calendar?

Well as the title states they claim to have found the source for the excessive phantom downloading on Windows Phone 7. Please check out the article at my site http://www.l337ware.com That being out of the way they did not release any details on which 3rd party app it is though they say it's commonly used nor did they release which settings cause it. Perhaps we can put our heads together and figure it out using this thread.

Chris Walsh of the ChevronWP7 team said to me they are about to publish something about this.

Many people think this is related to the address book / photo sync (Facebook / Yahoo). Maybe one of these third parties sends too much data over the Push connection? In that case technically it would be that party's fault. But you would expect Microsoft to have some safeguards against this, wouldn't you?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genesys01:
Yes, I have the same problem with Battle Bears.

As far as I know, it is a problem of the Galaxy S itself.

The problem is that the Galaxy S, have a "partition" of the space dedicated to apps that doesn't let apps > 25 MB, but that's ONLY from the market.

If you try to install an apk > 25 MB from the sd card, it would be installed without any problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genesys01:
Firstly, did you clear the cache of all the apps? Anyway, I too downloaded battle bears, but it was < 25 mb. Now, if you go look for the size, you find that it's 28 mb.
