I my phone was locked, and I was requested to enter my google acc, so I did, but it was not recognized, My password is the same since I created my acc, never changed, so I had no solution than making a factory reset to get back my cell, but this is not a solution, since I have a small child and he always playing with the mobile, and this might happen again.
If anyone have an idea please feel free to ask any questions to make it clearer

that happens only when maximum password attempts has been reached.
when asked, you have to be connected to the internet coz verification is done online.
now if you want to avoid this from happening again, don't use any password or pin lock.
Dont use password

So, of I'm not connected Noway to recover the lock, this seems stupid from Samsung it should be stored on the phone, anyway I made an image of my ROM. So if it happened again I will just restore. Thanks for the reply

you couldve just rooted ur phone then installed CWM or TWRP recoveries so u could keep all ur data by making a nandroid backup so u can pull all ur data from it after having a factory reset

I have CM10 Alpha7 on my phone, and I have a Nandroid backup and already used it and nothing lost, my question here? What if my cell is not rooted? There should be a different way. That's what I wanna know,
if ur not rooted then ull simply root ur device through the stock recovery as usual then install the recovery and make ur nandroid backup or simply just format system and cache and re install the same rom so ur data won't b touched (im not so sure if it will help with removing ur lock but my guess is that it will), cuz if u go to SSC in egypt then they will simply tell u to format ur cell (they dont give a s**t for us bro)

But I guess this way the lock issue will be restored also, I'm only guessing. And the SSC like u said they don't care. This is not the solution I was looking for, but till now its the best answer, at least not telling me how stupid i was, thanks bro

I already made a factory reset, and flashed the ROM again, Luckily and thanks to a friend of mine who advised me couple days before this problem happens, he told me "Make a backup just in case" so I didn't lose anything, and now I made a new Image of my ROM, so what ever happens in the future I will just restore the whole ROM with the settings, but really thank you for trying to help, because every time I ask for help, I must find someone who gives me a frustrating answer, once I was asking about some stuff for my SGW, and someone named Frank said "Your phone isn't popular if you want help get a more popular phone" I felt like oO if you can't help why bother replying, so I really appreciate anyone who tries to help:good:
Hello,
I attempted to root my Note II N7100 with original ROM XXDMB2 and full device encryption, using CF-auto-root and Odin.
The flashing operation and the next boot all seemed to be fine, no errors reported, but at the dialog for full device encryption passphrase I can't unlock device anymore (the passphrase is refused).
I am afraid the root flash operation may have overwritten some data related to the encryption header or similar, is there a way to rebuild it / work around it since I know the passphrase? Maybe it is a completely different problem though.
The device consistently boots up to encryption passphrase prompt, still accepts to boot into download mode so I am confident it is not fully bricked.
It contains lots of precious pictures of my family, in particular my little son, and I really would like to avoid to have to do some kind of factory reset as I wish to keep those pictures.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh dear, 2 days now, no answer, really hope a kind soul comes up with a good idea as I would really be sad to lose my family pictures forever.
I am ready to pay someone if a working solution is found. I would only be able to pay the first person giving the solution once that solution has worked.

I would think when you rooted ur device the new kernel doesnt have any link/connection with the encryption which was handled by the previous kernel also most likely as the whole system is meant to encrypted probably the hash values/checksums down the line have mismatched thus making the decryption impossible....I doubt if it would be possible to decrypt the device
1. Can u boot into recovery ?
if yes, can you mount the SDCARD & try to backup your entire ROM into the external memory card ? then load it to the computer ?
2. Find some tool .. there are some tool which can help unroot your phone hopefully maybe (a big maybe !) and theoretically somehow the unroot tool could/should flash the same exact kernel version you had earlier for your ROM version ... or find a way to extract the kernel from your original ROM from backup if have a backup and flash it to the phone...but how to go about that i dont know.. u will need alot of research and seak help

To all that provided an advice, thanks. I have downloaded ajd flashed a stock xxdmb2 rom version (unmodified) in the hope it would return to original state and the phone works again, except that I unfortunately lost all phone contents - like out of factory. Strangely I had to flash it twice...
However contrary to my belief sdcard was not encrypted and it contained some worthy pictures - only part of what I had hoped to save but still, valuable records. I was sure it was encrypted and it was seemingly confirmed by the "drive not formatted" errors I encountered while attempting to read SD card under Windows but this was probably rather due to a driver issue. Indeed I could read (by chance) the SD card on another computer.
So technically it's not a real success but at least I recovered part of my family souvenirs and also my Note II which is still quite a valuable high-end device so it could be worse.

There is a link for a rollback update, but i'm not home. When I get there, I send it. About battery, try to use greenify to help it to last long.
You can't just try to use a full package because of versioning scheme they use.

Hmmm, sorry, I thought it would help. In fact, the package is listed as a rollback to M, but it is for CAN-L11. The rollback for CAN-L01, I didn't find. As there isn't many differences between those models, I thought it would work
EDIT: now that I read the op again, I noticed that your model is CAN-L11. I wonder why it didn't work
Houamei said:

No, it won't.
The reason behind this is because system partition get smaller (because nougat way of update) after updating it to emui 5. So the old system.img won't fit the new partition

Did the same thing, but first TWRP didn't find the backup. So i did a small backup just of the boot partition, so that TWRP makes a new backupfolder "FPF4C16A07000014"". Now i renamed the " FPFDU16930014596" to the new "FPF4C16A07000014" and TWRP found the backup and i was able to restore :highfive::highfive:
Small Addition:
It was a freaking fight to get my bootloader unlocked again, cause i lost the unlock code.
The websites (english and asian) are freaking BS. Was not able to get to the page where you get the code, so i downloaded DC-Tool and payed 4 dollars for the damn code.
Now the code is saved in my owncloud, dropbox, google drive, on a sheet of paper and google notes. No way to lose it again
B100 firmware is much smoother than B320 but has a lack of comfort, like i'm missing the new quick settings with double pull down and the touch responsibility of slide bars (like the volume bars) is not very good in B100... But i won't upgrade to 320 again, because of the following points that make it a no go for daily driver:
- Camera is very slow and hangs up
- Video playback is very slow and buggy (no matter if it's in the galery or youtube, ect.)
- Fingerprint is too slow
- Whole system gets very slw if you dont clean up the app history
Will upgrade again when there is a new version out
please am having same issue here. tried restore but still not booting.

Well, that rabbit went into quite the hole... hehe
However, at the other end was a person who restored an old backup to revert this problem... And I -MAYBE- have an old backup on my external hdd, but won't that wipe all data that has been written to my phone since that "MAYBE" backup?
The other suggestion was wiping my MISC-partition using commands through ADB - something I have no clue how to setup and/or execute.
Still, thank you so much for your effort!
Reading all of this made me remember that one time I spaced out and tried to install an official firmware update upon release and prompt, which lead to the same issue. I could then just reinstall an older raw firmware version, which left all my files and data intact. Hopefully this will work here too.
BUT... It still feels very risky. If anyone out there has any sure-fire solution to this update Magisk Manager through the built-in updater no-boot issue, then please feel free to let me know - I would be forever in your debt
The best surefire solution is just don't. And BTW always backup before you flash anything in twrp.

No, just restore the boot partition (16MB).
I learnt the hard way about backup, when years ago I didn't make one for my Galaxy S2 and lost everything (pictures, etc). Now after installing TWRP I always do a backup...
You should be able to reflash your boot partition with a fastboot command like "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (people with more knowledge than me can help you)
EDIT: the problem is that our Zenfone2 needs a signature for the boot partition, this is why we have a special Magisk installer that just add the signature to the image. The automatic update installer of Magisk has no clue about this, me and a few others here made the same mistake as you when Magisk popup "I have an update!" and we clicked "Install"...
All your data and app are still there, do not worry, no need to wipe anything, just reflash a signed boot.

Look... I am sorry if I "snapped" as you put it... But let's make one thing clear - I snapped at YOU; there is no "us" in this case, as you tried to skew it. Don't lump yourself together with these other helpful people, because so far you have nothing in common to me. If I were looking for someone to go "Hey, I got a solution - you know that thing you did? - Don't do it again!" I'd just go stand on the street corner with a sign asking for someone to slap my face.
As for your principal of don't do things if your not sure of how they work, I am totally behind that. But it has NOTHING to offer here as we are past that point. A broad comparison would be like "a solution to world hunger = eat food" ("but we don't have any food!" "you should have thought of that before you started starving now shouldn't you...?!").
In your defense, I guess you really believe you are trying to help. But compare your comment to the other ones posted and it is quickly clear that you are not. However, YOU ARE RIGHT, I should've known better and shouldn't do it again. And obviously I am enerved at this situation, but equally obvious (now) is that what you wrote is NOT "the best sure-fire solution" as what was posted afterward seems at least 100% (would have been more if possible) more applicable to my issue.
Anyway, I'll do the right thing here in the end, after having said so many things, and admit, once again, that I was wrong, you were right, I snapped for no good reason and you were just trying to help.
And I sincerely apologize for my rude behaviour. Hopefully now you can at least understand my reaction.
Also, fair is fair - Maybe TWRP flashes the update before it even enters into it. It would be the first I've EVER heard of something like that. But I am out of my element a bit here, so I will withdraw that comment and once again apologize for snapping at you because of it.

Basically, you are saying that I would, in theory, just have to use fastboot and flash boot.img (extracted from any firmware?) again, which I am very familiar with how to do, and presto - boot partition restored and working (once again, in theory)?
Sounds amazing!:good:

Last year sometime I ran into a similar problem, where I had to flash raw firmware in order to unbrick the phone... This is the firmware that I downloaded and flashed then.
However, within this .raw-file there is no boot.img ...? There are a couple of .img-files, but none named boot.
On a side-note: When I bricked it last year and had to flash this raw firmware, which I did with Asus Flash Tool, if I am not mistaken... However, whichever way I did it, I managed to flash and then boot as usual. The phone then updated all apps, and I was just blessed with this wonderful sight of "my phone" with all the apps, files and data still intact.
And this problem, which resulted in the same boot issue, came from trying to apply an official OTA update, just after rooting and unlocking the bootloader (forgot myself for just a moment there), which to me seems like a way more serious screw-up than what I just managed to do today...?
@dustylambo
You still boot to TWRP ?
Simple questions
check date of back ups , course you won't be able to restore but title will have builds.
What twrp build ?
Then....
Select reboot in twrp then power off in twrp .
Wait 15 seconds...
Power plus vol+ , you can now boot to bootloader.
What IFWI version ?
0094.0177 or .0173 is LP
0094.0183 is M
Flash relevant raw , without ticking wipe data in AFT.
Check my unbrick thread in my signature for AFT and links to raws
Enjoy

Yes, I still boot into TWRP.
I can't find my old backup for some reason, but after flashing the previously mentioned raw firmware I never up- or downgraded the ROM, so it MUST be that version. It's the only one I've ever downloaded and flashed.
IFWI version is 0094.0183
But so you are saying I could basically just flash [correct version FW].raw via AFT, without wiping data, and all should be good?
I am on your unbrick thread aws.
I will def bookmark it.
But I already have AFT and the same FW... so I could just go-go-go, right? Or is the IFWI version being M an issue?
Also, I downloaded the official Asus FW from their ZF2 website. In that .zip is in fact a "boot.img" - can I flash this via fastboot you think?
Thanks again for all your help!
You are unbelievable!
@dustylambo
0094.0183 is M
So flash a M raw.
You must've upgraded bootloader since flashing the last raw .139 which is LP to get to M bootloader .0183
In bootloader .0183
You flash raw for M, these have just been added by realyoti
drop him a thanks .
Flash without ticking wipe data in AFT
Damnit! I don't like where this is going... But it's late and I'm dumb
I never upgraded to M because I read that there were several apps that would lose support, MUSIC in particular, but there were others as well.
Will an M raw-file flash and still boot with all my old apps?
@dustylambo
It's simple really , what is the twrp build number ?
You never said
0094.0177
Is locked 5 LP bootloader.
.0173 is 5 unlocked bootloader
.0183 is M
What twrp build is yours ?
Ps , I don't think it matters which version raw you flash , only that it may fail and might have to wipe data to succeed which is better than what you have and are struggling with right now
gnite , enjoy

Pls , remember the reason you installed twrp initially ?
For backing up
Sounds like you didn't only update Magisk Manager, you update Magisk itself. A non-signed Magisk update will always result in bootloop.

To be corrected: Not the Magisk, but the repacked boot.img. ?

Hi, I have following problem:
I have lineaegeOS on my chiron, device is unblocked.
System doesn't respond - I can put my 4 digits code but nothing happens, I still see begining page with the lock.
I can still have TWRP on the phone, but (I don't know how) partition is coded, even if I put my 4 digits unlocking code (information is: wrong code).
Is there any way to make my phone live? using usb otg can help here?
Please help me and sorry for my language - I don't know this technical words...
If this is wrong place to posat this question, please let me know as well.
You should ask your question in the thread of the ROM you installed.

Including internal storage, I will not have access to the rom
So you should format everything instead of just wipe
And use the newest version of TWRP (for me it changed much)
and then install ROM from OTG pen

Currently I'm waiting for OtG, I will let you know of results.
your encryption of your data(internal storage) is corrupted. only way to solve it is factory reset where it will erase data and internal storage. either way your data is long gone.
i have bricked many of my phones cause of encryption. nothing could save it(had all my data got messed up.)

) man, ...everithing u must delete from your device; idk if installing from sideload or otg are real solution (try them before doing final alternative), but if thats doesnt work u must wipe EVERITHING. My advice for u is to factory reset and wipe everithing if otg and sideload doesnt work... i wanted to help u with an opinion about otg or sideload, but i dont know nothing about thats...search in XDA and see if another persons had this problem... myself i had that, but i deleted everithing unfortunately.... good luck and dont be scarr...that problem have solution

OK. After wiping data, phone started working (with some bugs...) , but still have problem with coding data in TWRP - access code to the phone doesn't work. But as I said - phone works, I'm on nightly lineageos which was put to the phone few days ago. Currently I have problem with refreshing new OS, putting new version, without errors.

only format data and caches. no need to touch vendor boot system etc.
be sure to use "format data" where it will ask you to confirm by typing yes
