I was wondering if there's anyway I can protect my Galaxy s3 with a password from hard
Reset if ever lost or stolen, to required a pin b4 you can get into recovery mode or
Installing new custom ROM.
You cannot password protect recovery.

Hello there.
I've just encrypted my N7105 with 4.1.2 stock ROM.
Well, big surprise... password is not accepted and I can no more boot Android.
Hard reset, any kind of wipe and firmware flash don't solve, it's still prompting for password.
At this point, I think the problem is in the bootloader, how can I restore the original bootloader?
Thanks and best regards
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 sm-n900T, ROOTED, custom rom Darth Stalker. Tried to encrypt device causing Brick. Hard Factory reset the device now the encryption wants to load on rebooting. Put in the pin and the broken android appears and the device goes black and is bricked again. Repeat process and same results. Where do I seek information on how to remove the encryption or keep it from allowing the device to boot properly?
Many Thanks
Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from sammobile.com via Odin?
i have a galaxy s3 t mobile phone and it is encrypted. today i rebooted it and it didn't ask me for my password to the encryption... so i went to settings and security and it says that its encrypted...rebooted again still didn't ask for password. the phone just boots up as normal and works. i even rebooted into twrp and it didn't ask me for the password to my storage... im going to be wiping phone and trying to get encryption back...is there some way to decrypt the phone that my butt could have done?lol
Having some serious trouble. I rebooted my phone and it asked for my password once it was done as always but this time it said it was wrong. I'm certain I used the correct password but even tried my other alternatives to be sure and still a no go. This isn't the decryption option password you get when booting but my lockscreen password. I booted into recovery and it asks me for an encryption password that I never set but I know this is a common issue with twrp. Tried to go back into android but wouldn't let me because of the "wrong" password so I used the failsafe and went into recoveries file manager and deleted my lockscreen settings to remove my lockscreen passcode (tried and proven method, done it dozen times before). Got past my lockscreen this time but now it was saying starting android forever. Figured it was something with the passcode being deleted so I just decidd to factory reset from the recovery and take that loss. NOW the problem is upon booting the rom in trying to start the setup, I'm stuck on the "just a sec..." screen that comes up after you click start. What do I do from here? I cant access anything in recovery because the encryption passcode issue so I'm kind of stuck. Also I'm a work right now and we cant connect our phones (or any USB for that matter) to the computers and laptops because theyre government property and on a secured line. Any help PLEASE, Ill be home later and can try more then.
Well since you already did a factory reset on the device you mine as well just do a clean install of the OFW then get twrp back and flash your ROM etc back. Would probably be better then to deal with everything going on with the device right now.

Hey, I got my phone back working after that and rooted again and flashed same rom. NOW another problem, I rebooted my phone and its not accepting my PIN anymore, nor my fingerprint, and I cant reset through TWRP because of encryption. WTF is the issue, how do I fix this or do I have to flash-all again?
Hi!
I have successfully rooted my Redmi 7, using latest TWRP and Magisk. However, now when I setup either pin, password or lock scree pattern, I cannot log in using them. I.e. I CAN set up a pin(1234), but when I try to enter(1234) it says incorrect. After that I cannot access my phone, and am forced to factory reset it. I tried resetting the phone multiple times, but I still cannot set up pin.
Is there any solution? The only one I thought of would beinstalling ROM, which I really don't want to do.
Thanks!
Same but with Samsung A6. Probably you can try this

You will need to factory reset your fone if it doesnot solve your problem then flash fastboot rom through mac or windows
