[Q] Is anyone using device encryption on stock 4.1.2?

If so, would you be so kind as to answer two questions for me?
(1) Do you have to enter your password each time you unlock the screen, or does the phone still let you set a delay of up to an hour (during which time you only need to swipe to unlock)?
(2) Is there an option to revert to a decrypted device, or is factory-reset the only way?

I went ahead and enabled device encryption, so now I can report the answers:
(1) The password-delay setting still works.
(2) There is indeed an option that offers to decrypt the device (though I haven't tried using it).

Bypass lockscreen?

Greetings dellow xda dev's, I am currently running a Tmobile galaxy note 3, with the newest stock odexed FOL1 firmware, rooted, running twrp 2.8.5.0, I hav been installing apps and setting things up all day as a recent problem has forced me to factory reset my phone. Due to the way I use tasker to lock my phone (using secure settings to set a password) and restoring the old tasker profiles, my password appears to have been corrupted in some form or another as I have entered it a bunch of times and it won't unlock, claiming that the password is wrong. I have spent most of the evening looking at exploits and bypasses but none seem to work with my phone, there is no password.key file in the data/system folder, and deleting the gesture.key doesn't help. Using android device manager I can send a message to my phone and 'lock' it, but there is no unlock option anywhere on the screen; until I hit the home button and it simply sends me back to the normal lockscreen, and whatever new password I punched in with the manager doesn't work. I have tried several flashable zip files (lockscreen security bypass and pattern password disable), I have also tried everything mentioned in :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456 that article, as well as poking around in adb and in twrp's file manager, as well as some old lockscreen vulnerabilities (sadly copy and paste do not appear on the emergency dialer or the password field).
I am rather desperate to get my phone unlocked without a factory reset, as I just barely recovered from one recently, and need my phone for work tomorrow morning. I do have some tasker and autoremote profiles running that will tell my phone to setoff an alarm through tasker, and that will alert my phone to when my tablets battery life is low, but I don't know if either of those will help. I do not have any trusted bluetooth devices that can unlock the phone, nor do I ever seem to find a password reset/forgot your password option after typing in my password.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated and tried come morning before work.

Urgent, bypass pincode possible?

My father in law died last weekend and we don't know the pincode of his stock Nexus 5X. We can access his Google account and we know the pincode of his sim card. I hope someone can help us out to get access to his phone. Things we've tried:
- The vingerprint reader was setup but we've tried a lot of possible pins. We've tried his vinger yesterday but because of the attempts the pin is also required now.
- With a pattern lock you'll get a possibility to unlock through the Google account password after some attempts but his phone was secured with a vingerprint and/or pincode. Only the delay between attempts get increased, currently 16 minutes between them.
- The lock option from https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager, but because there is already a pin lock it doesn't work. The pin doesn't change.
- I've tried to access the phone through ADB, booted into the recovery but "adb devices" doesn't see the phone. When I choose to "install update through adb" I see the devices with "adb devices" but I can't use "adb shell", only sideloading works.
- Installing a custom recovery could work but the bootloader is locked, when I unlock it a full wipe will be performed so we still can't access the data.
- From the Play store in the browser on my Mac I've installed the androidlost.com app on the phone, but the app needs to be opened once before it can be used.
- A rubber ducky could help us out, but I don't have one and the time between attempts get increased and increased... it would take weeks, months or years to unlock.
What other possibilities do I have?

First sorry for your lost!
Second, i don´t know for sure, but maybe get the phone to the store where you bought it and explain the situation, maybe they will give a correct advice or like you said the phone is registed in google ( device manager) maybe if you contact them they will help you with that ( the problem is they probably will take a long time to reply or don´t reply at all) or wait for a more expert user than me here in xda,
again, sorry for your lost and hope you solve this problem,
cheers

If the phone was rooted with a recovery installed, YES, you could delete the passcode files and get into it, without root/recovery, you cannot get into it without the password, that is the point of encryption and passwords and all that jazz.... Yes there is probably a way for some high level hacker to do it but good luck finding that.... If you just want to be able to USE the phone, do a factory reset from recovery....

Nexus 5X stuck in loop - password required after device restarts

Posting from following original reference:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/yMUh6a2SVLs;context-place=forum/nexus
I've had a Nexus 5x for a couple of years and recall accepting an Android update about a week ago, since which time I've restarted my phone several times. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the Android version because I'm currently unable to get past my lock screen.
Yesterday I restarted my phone and went through the steps of password => Android loading => fingerprint to unlock screen, but I also received the message "password required after device restarts" so I entered my password again. I know the password is correct because it works initially (to start Android) and because if I type anything different, it tells me that the password is wrong. However, each time I enter the correct password, the screen goes black for a second (which it would normally do when unlocking the screen) but then it returns to the "password required after device restarts" prompt.
I've tried powering off, restarting and 'hard' restarting by pressing down the power button, but the result is the same each time I reach the step to unlock the screen.
I can see alerts (eg, emails, whatsapp messages) and I receive visual/audio notification of calls/messages, etc. but I can't access the content.
My last backup was about four weeks ago before I began international travel. There are important data on my phone that I need to get access to hence following questions:
1) Since the password is still valid is there a way one can Remote Desktop into the phone and retrieve the data?
2) Any other way to get into the phone?
Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Happy new year 2018.

[HELP] Can't update recovery / Can't bypass 'Just a sec' dialogue in setup wizard.

I need help with my Honor 8 Pro.
So, I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP but after some days I screwed up something and the TWRP's gone and now there's just the erecovery available (However its only giving me 'Update and reset' option instead of usual wiping and it's failing to update itself on clicking that option)
Second part is, I can boot my device but its getting stuck on 'Wait a sec' screen after entering WiFi details in the setup wizard (and I can't bypass it because of 'The way you restored factory settings may pose security risks. Please verify your identity with your Google account' message)
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. USB debugging is turned off so phone is not getting detecting in ADB/Fastboot
