HELP! My 1x data quite working (Pageplus), verified that my radio settings seemed ok, but still no data. I then do a Factory reset with Odin (SPH-L710_SPR_L710VPBLJ7_L710SPRLJ7_Original) and now it looks like I lost a link to my account... When I go to call out, it says there isn't enough funds on the account, even though I have a monthly plan an nowhere near any limits).
Please help and give me some sort of direction, I've been fighting the data for the last couple days and now with voice not working, it's pretty much useless... :crying:
Connect to Wi-Fi and force hands free activation from the dialer by putting in "##72786#"
After entering the code, the phone rebooted and ran an activation. The activation keeps failing with error code 4 (Client Authentication Error)
Personally, I think something with the radio config may have gotten corrupt or something. Seems to odd with how 1x was working fine, then all data quit. I have no idea how to wipe/reset that data or if there is anything critical I need before doing so (don't want to brick the device or make my life getting this phone to work a LOT worse...)

I'd say go back to stock unrooted and call Sprint. Maybe something got messed up on their end as forecasted by the "client authentication" error

Not using Sprint, bought phone and setup on PagePlus... Doubt Sprint will touch it without me being a customer...
How does this work and is it good to use?
Go to Google and type "5.1 encryption" and read about it.

So it's faster after you do it? Will I lose any data by doing it and have to re download everything?

No you will not lose data, just don't forget your password. My girlfriend did and ha ha ha yeah she lost everything after failing ten times.
But no I doubt it's faster from my experience I'm sure i had something running when I bench marked it before I encrypted it. Other then that it just shows how awesome it is even after encryption. I've done this to several phones and this one blows everything out of the water.

Do I have to use a lock screen?

Yes, very much so. However the difference between kitkat and lollipop is that the operating system allows for fingerprint unlocking. With a passphrase backup of course.
I am not sure however if samsung encrypts your fingerprint data. I read an article that several phones including the s6 may be vulnerable stolen biodata because the fingerprint data wasn't encrypted. Don't quote me on it without extra research. This came up about the time defcon 23. So if you are worried about that stick with a passphrase.
However it's quick and easy with the fingerprint unlock and still dominates with benchmark while encrypted.
I encrypted my device. Normally when it boots it asks for the keyword. Today it not only did NOT ask for the keyword but booted straight to my home screen. It didnt even request my fingerprint. Very worrying.
I rebooted, still no keyword request but finger print was required.
Anyone else ever seen that?

I had the exact same thing happen, figured it was just me. I un-encrypted and re-encrypted and it is again asking for the password at boot. Not sure what happened but it isn't very reassuring.
It means it doesn't really work!

I've never had that happen. Could you have accidentally decrypted the phone? Does it still say it's encrypted?
Hello,
When my phone boots up after restart, the lock screen shows up requesting PIN entry. You cannot use fingerprint to unlock after boot up, you have to use PIN for this first unlock.
On this same screen, at the bottom, it says "Unlock for all features and data".
So, until you unlock, mobile data is not activated.
Without mobile data, Find My Device cannot work.
Is there something I'm missing here? This design seems strange to me.
If your phone is stolen, and the device is restarted, the thief cannot get into your phone without your PIN and all your user data remains encrypted. Great.
But you also cannot use Find My Device to locate your device.
Or if the phone is lost and the battery dies, and a good Samaritan eventually finds it, and charges it. Same problem.
Just wanted to get thoughts on this issue. Thanks.
Yes I find this quite annoying as well. I am surprised not one person has information or experienced the same.
GPS probably still works.
So you're saying you're tried to locate your phone, on a computer, you've gone to https://android.com/find and it doesn't work if your phone isn't unlocked? That's a new one on me.

Yeah that makes no sense "find my phone" works off the IMEI.. so if someone takes out your sim you can still erase your phone
Post deleted.
Does anybody know a good data recovery app? Probably need to factory reset my phone after being locked out.

I changed my password and forgot it. I tried using samsung's find my mobile but it says my phone did not set it up. Google's phone finder does not work with android 10. I just went on vacation and have media saved on the internal card but want to retrieve it somehow. I can factory reset but want to try to see if anybody had ideas on how I can keep my data? This is a snapdragon US version. Root doesn't seem possible either. Thanks for your time.

Hi @sd97cl
I would suggest you take a step back and ask yourself if, in your case, you would reply the stated question.
If you don't, know that on XDA it's an unwritten common sense rule to not support what can be a suspicious attitude. I do apologise if it's not your case but I do emphasise the "can be".
Still remains, as you've suggested, the option of factory reset.
Nice regards and good luck on your search,
.

If you tried too many times you get locked out for 72 hours until you can try again I think... never been there, don't want to.
I regularly backup to the SD card... just in case.

You get timed countdowns on the device starting at 1 min lockout. 3 5 and so on line of deal. If you change your Google password and reset your device you get locked out for 72 hours. I've had it happen once lol.

You mean to screen lock has a count down on it?
The worst nightmares in Android seem to work like that... no pressure.
Probably best to close the Goggle account before a hard reset. Wish I could disable all that junk easily.

Lol, those countdowns are enough to permanently traumatized anyone
I like the one "Adroid kernel has stopped" it starts a few minutes apart but eventually gets to about once a second. Or sometimes there's no "countdown" warning at all, surprise!
Try navigating to Device Administrators in one or two second intervals to deactivate a package blocker.
It's that or a reload.

Were you signed into Samsung on your phone before it got locked? If so, you can use Samsung's Find my Mobile from your computer and it will allow you to change the password there.
I need help identifying what app or setting got me into this mess.
I think the hacker has adb access.
He shuts down apps.. etc
He is messing with the notifications.. i get ony a few. Sometimes they come in late.
I have made reset from samsung setting and the boot menu, AND I INSTALLED A NEW ROM (the one for my phone) WITH ODIN. Still the issue resurfaces.
I think my roomate installed smthg in it. He is on the house wifi and he is got a degree in networking (i think thats what it's called, we study in french in my country)
Please i need help.
If someone needs any further details, please ask.
Avoid the wifi network you suspect your hacker friend is on, reinstall the rom downloaded on another network and stay on 4G and see if it still happens? Also suspect your PC to be hacked...
Thx for replying,
I did format my pc but i have connected it to house wifi.. didn't notice anything out of order though.
I found out about the "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" option in Developer Options. I think it is working.
Today, since i made a new instagram account, i added a mutual friend. Turns out it was an old and lost account, and thats when i got the error from the video.
Fortunately, i fixed it by un.following the account and clearing the app storage.
I need to know what access does he have?
Can't upload the video, here's some shots.
Look no further than yourself for the cause of this... one way or another.
RX: Factory reset, change Google account password.
Stop with the social media crap and go mingle with real people.
This not about social media, it's about getting my phone back.
With my old account, I couldn't even talk to my messenger friend. Today, thats like having your phone number unreachable all the time, frustrating.
Please if you don't want to help don't, but no need for quick unhelpful replies.

How was it compromised?
Understand if it was compromised it's more than likely because you left yourself vulnerable to attack.
A compromised OS needs to be cleaned or wiped... I gave you the solution(s).
No need to say thanks but don't give me lip about your screw ups.
Thank you.
I tried factory reset more than 10 times, different ways. No luck.
I think he is got access to one of my friends account but i don't know how he is using this connection with me ( message, notification.. i don't know)
@blackhawk what you said is true, and i didn't mean no offense.

Reflash the firmware especially if it is Oreo or below.
If it's not embedded in the firmware, it's being added by you albeit inadvertently.
Your Achilles heel is social media... don't be so predictable. Break the link in the chain.
None of the social apps should be running on the device, they are malware. At least keep them in the cloud.
Email must always be kept in the cloud and any attachments downloaded from it scruntinized or preferably not downloaded at all. All downloads are suspect.
At this point your data base is suspect as well.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

Unless someone physically got their hands on it, there's no known way the Android 11 stock factory image can be compromised by a rootkit or virus. A factory reset is all that is needed.
The problem happened after the reset.

That is exactly what i suspect did happen. I often leave my phone home and my pattern is known for him.
How can i undo a modification of that level.
(I intend to go to a phone repair shop and install new soft with the "box". Is this recommended or is it a bad idea)

Never leave a phone physically unsecured as that's the only real security there is.
You need to have the firmware reflashed then be careful what you put back on it.
Change all your passwords and use secure passwords.
I ithink i this is the problem.( in the pic below)
There was an app called android device.. don't know if this is normal. So i deleted it and restarted and things are back to normal.
Sorry i can't upload the image, the app closes automatically.
Scan it online with Virustotal.
Sell the phone Facebook
