Try finding out how to access your recovery and then clear your phone with a factory reset. Or you can do this from your hboot. Otherwise you should be able to reset your phone after a few failed attempts.

Just keep on failing the security attempt and say forgot password

Or it will ask for your google account eventually

Fingerprint option missing on Stock Nougat.

Fingerprint option is missing on Stock N . Anyway to bring it back ? Hard reset doesn't help. Only on the first boot after reset I get the "add fp" in settings suggestions but it simply doesn't work. But no Fp option under security. Please help

Please help (enterd wrong pattern and the phone is locked)

Hi everyone..
I will go into the main point directly..
firstly my phone run out of the battery then the phone slept.. I plugged the charger to get the phone powered on again...
after that the phone started and asked me for the pattern..
then I entered the pattern I save but the phone says that the pattern is wrong and I swear that pattern I use every day :laugh:
now the phone is locked and I tried to tap the "Forgot Password" button but it says that all data on the phone will be erased and that will be impossible for me :crying:
Please advice me what should I do regarding that the phone still in the warranty period!
the phone is Note 5 AI global version..
thanks in advance

If you have twrp installed then its easy to delete lock pattern. If you are stock then not so sure.. Anyways patterns dont just change, im sure you must be confusing something.

thank you for your fast reply..
if I used the common method on youtube using twrp then i deleted the gatekey file the pattern will reset ?
this methode won't affect warranty ?

Cannot disable PIN on boot / start up!

I mistakenly enabled Secure Startup.
Now TWRP requires a PIN too, plus when I boot up.
And I can't disable it!
I've disabled Lockscreen PIN plus saying "No" to PIN on boot.
I still require a PIN to boot up even though the lockscreen PIN is disabled!
I've gone into data/system to delete the relevant lockscreen files too.
Anything else I can do?

Hi buddy The default password in TWRP is "default_password" (without quotation marks) , try that and if that doesn't work you may have to decrypt your device meaning you will wipe and lose all your data ... Before you wipe wait for some more responses as there maybe a better method , hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.
The PIN works for TWRP.
What I'm trying to do now is disable the Secure Startup so TWRP doesn't need the PIN, and neither does boot up.
My phone used to only require a PIN the unlock the lock screen. I'm trying to revert to that.

Hi buddy , I believe the only way to remove secure boot is by going into settings / security / screen lock , try changing your lockscreen type from pin to pattern etc and see if the option comes up for secure boot and if it does click on no thanks apart from that I think you will have to backup everything and decrypt your phone but as always wait for more responses just in case someone knows a better method..... Good luck.

Yup, I went into Screen Lock, changed the lockscreen type and did remove the Secure Boot.
But it's still happening, that's why I'm stumped and seeking help.

Your device is now encrypted thats why. To decrypt u have to wipe everything and start again

Thank you ... can't tell if it's a bug, seems like a dumb thing to permanently encrypt a phone after turning on a setting

Galaxy S9 Developer options problem

Hey Forum! Hopefully y'all can help me. I have a S9 from Rent A Center and so does my wife, well her phone updated to Pie(9.0) 3 weeks ago and we're both on Cricket Wireless. Well mine hasn't updated and I've even went in and manually checking for updates and it says my phone is up to date so I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile and it failed cause i forgot to turn on USB Debugging in the developer options. So I restart my phone and go to settings and hit the build number and it says that developer options has already been turned on. But back in settings the options are nowhere to be found. So I figured doing a factory reset would help, but when i reset the phone and booted it up and went back to the build number and pressed it 7 times instead of saying developer options had been enabled it backed completely back out to my home screen and so i went back to settings and hit the build number again and it said that the developer options had already been turned on but again nowhere to be seen. So my question is is there a way to remove RAC from the phone or is there a way to remove knox where rac is on the phone? I need help cause I want the update, but it seems there is no way to do it with RAC on the phone.

USB debugging has nothing to do with flashing firmware with Odin

Ok then. I get a mdm mode cant download when I try flashing the firmware in download mode

Not sure if it still works with the S9, but there was a trick where you set up PIN security on the phone, but also enable the setting where if the wrong PIN is entered 10 times it factory resets the device, this supposedly removed the Rent-a-Centre crap after the reset which you cannot do while it is still active
Then enter the PIN 10 times wrongly

So it's a different factory than going into the settings and doing a factory reset?

No, same one but supposedly you do not have access to that with Rent a Centre software on the device, nor can you do it from recovery (As far as I am aware from reading others with the same phones)

Oh so basically I'm screwed until they come out with the update for my device

Do you have the ability to factory reset your phone as it stands right now?
If no, follow the above instructions...

Yes I can and have reset my phone. But when I set it back up it shows up rent a center in the Knox portion of it and I guess reinstalls them. So to speak
