My N910A had some imei problem and i had a new cert file writed. Then i realised that my wifi accounts are being deleted automatically every boot. And every boot my phone is warning me that "factory mode is on", but there is no any screen like other yellow factory mode problems. I have looked into efs file with root permission but its empty and i have no backup. Any idea for wifi accounts and factory mode?
No comment?

Guys,
I done goofed.
Allowed the young one to play with the tablet, lo and behold, the fingerprint scanner was "gone" and the tablet was requesting the alternate password, which I'm ashamed to say I have no Idea what it is.
I've tried to access the tablet with Android Device Manager, which gives me 3 options, RING - BLOCK - ERASE
After researching, I read that clicking on block and setting up a password there would work, but it doesn't. It just gives me a message saying that "Since google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won’t be needed"
There's no samsung account set.
While I know I could do a factory reset, It would be sad to lose some of the photos and files on the device.
Crazy ideas to help this fool here?
cheers,
Dan
factory reset wont delete your photos and files. it just delete system related data/install apps. unless you format your internal drive.
Hmm I thought that could be the case, but the only way I can do as reset now is going into that special mode by pressing power, home, volume buttons when the tablet is off right?
Won't the option I find there more drastic that a regular factory reset?
I haven't tried yet because I was hopeful for another solution :/
No other option available, would be terrible if there was (security bug!) Just do a factory reset in recovery mode, never got my personal files deleted that way, even Bluetooth downloads and old app folders stayed there
everytime i turn on my phone a screen pops up saying "your phone is encrypted"
it asks me for a password (lockscreen password) but i never had a lockscreen password, trying diferent passwords and pressing "decrypt" a screen appears with the following:
"decryption unsuccessful.
The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
then there is just a button that says "reset phone" it sends me to this screen regardless of what password i enter. when i press the reset phone botton, it takes me to TWRP recovery to reset my phone, but when i try to wipe any partitions it does nothing. i tried reinstalling the rom and the "phone is encrypted" screen appears again. i tried installing a different rom and same issue. i tried wiping the data partition through adb shell, but nothing. i've tried everything i could find online but the result keeps being the same, it takes forever to boot and then im greeted by the "your phone is encrypted" screen.
anyone knows what i could do?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if the bootloader can ubl , next flash twrp and wipe internal storage ,reboot to system will be done, but hboot locked , cannot ubl and s-off , emmc change 1 way
I just rebooted my phone, get the "password required after restart" message, enter my password, and it immediately jumps back to the lockscreen and gives me the same message. If I deliberately enter the wrong password, it gives me a wrong password message, so in the first case it is recognizing my password as correct, just not unlocking.
It seems to be the same problem described here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/yMUh6a2SVLs;context-place=forum/nexus
I've tried rebooting, tried booting into recovery and wiping cache to no avail, tried booting into safe mode, hoping to avoid having to do a factory reset.
I can still receive phone calls and can activate the camera by swiping, so phone is running fine, just can't get past the lockscreen.
Thoughts?
So if it is not the boot up screen to unlock the encrypted partition but the Android start screen, go into recovery, delete the password db file and you are done
in TWRP, go to Advanced > File Manager and navigate to /data/system.
to me this happened after restoring a twrp backup
Hi,
I'm running a current Stock-ROM on my OP3, as provided by OnePlus OTA, never flashed something else. Just using the phone out of the box.
Yesterday, I deleted some cache data to free some space on my 99% filled up phone. Then I opened the gallery but not all thumbnails appeared and then it stucked completely. I holded the power button and it switched off. Now when turning the phone on a message appeared saying:
"The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode"
After a few seconds it changes to the 3 animated points and this never ends. All I can do is switching it off, starting recovery mode or fast mode again with the same behaviour. I tried to connect it with my PC (W10) but it is not showing up.
How can I fix this problem without loosing my data especially my pictures and personal folders. How can I backup my data? I can still see them in recovery mode but how to access them and copy them? I could live with resetting the phone losing all settings and apps, but not my files.
What is your suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Ok, I just tapped on "Reset system setting", lost all apps and settings but it starts again and all my files are still there. Problem solved.
Please help, I'm stuck. Wife was using her S20 5G simply browsing in Chrome and the phone spontaneously rebooted. It's now stuck in a boot loop and after 3 tries, goes on its own to this recovery screen. If you select "try again" it boot loops again. Repeat until the battery dies. I've managed to get to the full recovery menu to do a cache wipe and it did nothing.
Few questions on "Erase app data" :
1) What exactly does "Erase app data" do?
2) Will her Google accounts set up on the device remain intact and logged in?
3) Will any device settings be erased by doing this?
All of her data is backed up. We just absolutely need to get in to one of her Google accounts as we are having issues with 2FA account recovery.
