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.

I had to do a reset in recovery because my Samsung account wouldn't open. After it booted up I typed in my password for Samsung and removed the lock without a problem. If you don't know your password ask for it to be reset.
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

What's that? Is it the screen that comes up when you hold down Power+VolumeDown and gives you the option to select Start, Power Off, Restart Bootloader, or Recovery?

Yes that's the one. If u can get back to that screen you should be able to flash it back stock and re root the phone with out any problems

So are you saying that I should factory reset my phone from the recovery menu, or do I have to use the method that requires the factory image?
My phone wasn't rooted btw, so I can't re-root it.

Rooted or not, do you think factory resetting it will fix the problem as long as I can get to the bootloader menu?

In pretty positive that it will, make sure u unlock the Bootloader first before you do anything. Do you know how to unlock it?

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

Wait...what?? So if I choose to factory reset my phone now without unlocking the bootloader, it might become completely useless? Is rooting necessary?

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.

Alright, but since all my data won't be recovered, is there a way to get access to files on my phone before I factory reset it?

Sorry bro but I wish there was.... There actually is away, but you would have have to have been rooted with a custom recovery on your phone and since you had neither, there's my other way
Edit: I meant no other way

oh... wow.
I'll just suck it up and reset it then. I'll let u know how it goes.
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 ?

It wont affect warranty. And yes it will delete patern.
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
