hi all,
just updated to 10.1 from 10, had a 4x4 security pattern and i'm asked to enter a 3x3 pattern now. no option to enter my gmail account data and i somehow can't access my nandroids for whatever reason. i think it's because i updated the recovery as well just before i did the update, so probably the new clockwork won't see older nandroids!?
any suggestions please?
thanks and please help me out - all is working, just can't get over the secure pattern, damn!
cheers,
favouritechord
You are supposed to factory reset................
jup, that's what i did.
in case anybody comes into that situation: i did a wipe via fastboot, flashed gapps and good guy google restored all my apps. i'm gonna check out now wether my nandroids and titanium-backups are still alive somewhere...

Hi all,
I'm a frequent rom updater, and i always install wave secure to restore and backup my SMS messages and such. Now i just installed it again on Leedroid 1.7b and i have to re-register. i go to the site, and my account was just gone. and with it my backups.
Anyone had this happen to them as well, know what caused it, or better yet how to fix it?
I had the same issue today I thought it was because of using Market Enabler but now I'm not sure
Same just happened today when I switched to a different ROM.
Happened to me too.
Well you will get it back just go true to registration again on your phone. And type in the same pin and phone number as before . Then its all good
Galaxy Tab S T-700 Lost unlock options
I have what seems to be a new one....The fingerprint scanner no longer boots at startup, The Alternative Password claims that I don't know it and I can't find the option to sign in with Google. Any suggestions????
I hadn't altered the software, Everything is still stock. I have VERY limited function thru a guest profile which will not allow any new apps nor access to most of the apps installed under my profile.
How about some kind of remote access?? Bypass the lock screen? I do have the right fingerprint, and the Alt PW ( I think, 90% sure). I have Team Viewer on everything else. Debugging is enabled. I have a good Google account. I also use Last Pass......
I'm another desperate noob. Please help.:crying:....
Try vol +home+power with the tablet off. Reboot into recovery, wipe data,cache and reboot. Second one odin 3.09 plus stock firmware from sammobile.com, boot in download mode and flash the firmware. Metod one will make you lose all your data, method 2 maybe will save your pesonal files (pictures, etc). 3rd method...samsung repair...you need proof of purchase , box and all the accesories. Good luck
Did you set up FIND MY MOBILE in Security settings. If so you can use it to unlock the lock screen with a code.

Search on youtube on how to bypass lockscreen before you factory reset.
Much Thanks!
In that I was "just playing" until I had the intestinal fortitude to root I went ahead with the factory reset.
Have any of you seen the loss of a sign in method before? Factory reset fixed it.... I wish I knew what caused it...
Threads again!
Signed,
Not so very desperate noob....
I went to use my phone and for some reason I can't unlock it. The fingerprint option is not coming up and my backup password doesn't work. I tried to change my password through device manager and it still doesn't work. I tried booting into recovery and wiped the cache and still no luck. I haven't downloaded any new apps recently so I don't know what's going on. Unfortunately I haven't backed my phone up in a while so I have some important stuff that I don't want to get rid of so a factory reset wouldn't be ideal but if that what I have to do I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.
Edit: I tried booting into safe mode and that doesn't work either.
Edit: I noticed that when I try to change the password through device manager it says couldn't lock device. I can ring it from device manager but not change the password.
I believe you can reset the password from your main google account if i am not mistaken.
So yesterday I set a pattern lockscreen to my S4 Mini running the last CM12.1 Nightly. At first it worked as it should but then I tried to access my phone only to see an empty screen (with the launcher wallpaper in the background) where the pattern lockscreen (the pattern dots) should be. I tried to draw the pattern I set estimating where the pattern dots would be but all I get is "wrong pattern". When I get it wrong five or ten times, CM asks me to try again in x seconds. I do not get any alternatives like giving my Google Account details etc. What this means is that I cannot get pass the empty lock screen to access my device.
I've tried wiping cache/dalvik via TWRP, rebooting, taking the battery out etc. but nothing works. I'd flash another nightly but CM has gone to CM13 and CM12.1 Nightlies do not seem to be available any more (the CM12.1 links here do not work).
Any ideas (preferably other then starting from scratch)?

Thanks for the suggestion. Before I noticed this I did find a workaround not requiring to start from scratch. I had a 3-week-old nandroid backup to which I went back and then extracted the missing app data (Whatsapp discussions etc.) with Titanium (I took a nandroid from the malfunctioning ROM before I restored to an older, functioning one). All is well now and I won't be trying the pattern lock screen any time soon.
i have the phone updated to android pie and rooted with magisk the latest version and i have twrp recovery on it
but while installing one of the mods (youtube vanced) and after it rebooted the phone asked for my pattern (not on the lock screen but the encrypted startup feature which i didn't turn on but i have changed my pattern a few days ago but i use the fingerprint always on the phone)
i forgot the pattern for the phone and i tried on it and it says 9 more tries and my phone will be wiped
is there a way to find the pattern on my google account since it's linked to the phone and it automatically uploads it to the cloud ? or is there a way to bypass it ?
Note:i know it sound like i stole the phone but i have proof of ownership if anyone wants(the box and the google account linked to it are mine and is linked to this account)
thanks in advance
Do you have access on twrp? If entered first time pattern should be saved and you can access data.
Simply reboot in twrp, if no pattern is asked make a backup of data partition (that will be unencrypted) just in case you will need to wipe and search for a way to access twrp-saved pattern.
You could also try the google feature "find my device" and change pattern, but as phone its encrypted i dont really think it will work.

sadly the "find my phone" doesn't help
and in TWRP it asks for the key too and when i press cancel and try to go to data/system where the pass key is there is nothing (it must be encrypted as well)
and twrp says that my data is 0mb and can't even back it up because it's encrypted
Ok, but it doesnt say that data will be wiped, so you can try a lot of patterns.
Unfortunatelly theres no way to bypass because data is encrypted, you should try again and again and prepare yourself for a complete wipe.
