Last night I pulled my S5 out of my pocket and there is a new lock screen that tells me "To unlock, enter the recovery password" I am very about locking my phone before putting it in my pocket, so I find it very hard to believe that I accidentally mistyped my PIN multiple times. I don't ever remember setting up a recovery password, and have tried every combination of passwords I might have used. I tried the google device manager. When I attempt to lock the phone with GDM, I get this message, "Google has verified that a screen lock has already been set, the password you entered wont be needed"
Every time I try the wrong recovery password, it tells me I entered the incorrect recovery password 1 time and all data will be erased. The only way to avoid this is to pull the battery and try another password. I have searched all over the place and cannot find a solution. I have found 1 other person that had the same problem and ended up wiping their phone. I am trying to avoid that.
just got a replacement phone as my other one stopped working - have installed all back up stuff from the computer, but can set up emails as it say - registered user enter user name and password and I can't remember them ... how do I recover them or rest so i can access my email accounts?
After a year of purchase, i now decided to reset my nokia 5800. I backed up every contact and messages on to my Memory card and after the reset Memory card asks for a password...Guys please help and plz do't give sugessions to format memory card as i have all the USEFUL data on it..By the way i only connect mobile to PC via USB cable i don't have a seperate CARD reader.
We are currently rolling out ActiveSync at my work, and a question was brought up as to why the iphone and ipad don't support the password recovery option in exchange.
So i recently switched to a new rom from my previous rooted one. Unfortunatly, i forgot to enable developer debugging or oem unlock in developer options before i restarted, so now my phone is in a boot loop. It wont go into recovery mode, or boot into the system. I can only go into download mode. My knox is tripped, and it shows frp lock. So far i tried flashing the stock 5.1.1 firmware using odin, and it fails on nand write. Tried flashing a new bl and cp, but frp blocks it.
Right, model of my phone is SM-G920T
Seems to be when i was trying to flash the original firmware, i got an old one, F6, when the correct one is F8. Went through with odin and seems like everything is back on track!
I accidentally did a factory reset on my Verizon S6 and lost some photos that had not yet been backed up. Every application that I have been able to find requires root and I do not have root.
i was trying to downgrade back to kitkat from lolipop so i flashed a Nk2_kernel.tar.md5 and now my phone will only go to recovery mode and nothing else why is this happening?
I root my S6 without trigering knox. But I know if I install custom recovery that will triger knox. So is it possible to install custom rom with stock recovery? Do I have to rename rom zip file as update.zip? Will that triger knox?
I tried to root my sgs6 with an CF auto root. This didn't work because after the first reboot of my Phone I got the message: "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
I've been looking on the internet and have seen several options which didn't work, including:
- Getting into recovery mode (home + on/of button + volume UP). This doesn't work somehow. - Try to install stock firmware. - Retry the same root - Try a different root.
Also; connecting via Kies/Smart Switch gives me the reply that the S/N isn't valid. This however, is not true.
The biggest problem that I seem to have is connecting my phone to my computer properly. And I can't turn on 'USB debugging' anymore (I turned it on when I started with my root).
So maybe my first question is: How can I get my phone to connect with my computer properly? And after that; How can I fix the failed root.
Additional info: Model name: SM-G920F Android 5.1.1. before I tried to root my phone.
I have the international galaxy s6. SM-g920I. I have rooted it already, then I tried flashing a recovery. Now it is stuck in the Samsung logo. I can still go to the download mode. What to do. And if I need to download the firmware file, can you tell me what the baseband is? This is urgent. I can enter download mode, but not recovery. Only have access to Odin mode right now.
My Galaxy S6 G920I has started shutting down repetitively. I was on stock and not rooted. After it happened a few times I decided to hard reset it and delete cache but it would get stuck on starting apps screen etc. After many attempts the phone finally started the user's guide for logging in etc.
I was getting crash errors for settings and other things. It finally went in only to start shutting down again. Seeing how the apps were crashing I thought that there might be an issue with the stock ROM so I decided to flash a new one. I was having trouble finding my specific so I went for another one found here. I couldn't flash it with ODIN because it was on a zip format so I flashed TWRP on the phone.
The error recovery is not seandroid enforcing is now showing on different versions of twrp (2.8, 3.0).
I can't flash any ROM now and the one found in the device keeps shutting it down. I don't believe it is a hardware issue as the phone stays on without issues on download mode.
I accidentally did a factory reset on my Verizon S6 and lost some photos that had not yet been backed up. Every application that I have been able to find requires root and I do not have root.
Samsung Galaxy s5 froze today and will not get past startup screen. Reading differs posts I tried to reset but still will not go to android screen . Ha blue writing in top left stating recovery booting but then nothing?
I'm new to the Samsung S6. Just brought a second hand S6 edge from eBay, and how to flash twrp recovery to the phone. It's been a while since I flashed a Samsung phone unsure on the process on how do it. I'm not really worried about tripping know....
I have a G920F. It is rooted via odin flashing Unikernel. When I tried to flash TWRP via TWRP Manager (installed from the playstore), the phone would get into a bootloop. It got stuck at the Galaxy S6 screen, with the red line up on the top left corner saying "Recovery Seandroid not enforcing" or something like that. I had to use KIES to get it back up and running (no data loss). Now I rooted it again, and root was successful. I want to get TWRP flashed in order to install the custom ROMS. How do I do that now? I don't want to have to use KIES to recover my phone again. It is running 5.1.1 btw.
I got the S6 Edge from t-mobile (g925st). I believe the OS crashed, the phone won't boot up. If I turn it on it will display the Samsung galaxy s6 edge logo and reboot again. I tried to go into recovery mode but it just reboots itself. The only mode I can go into is download mode.
My GS5 was working just fine this morning. Out of nowhere I picked up my phone and it was on a black screen with green, white, red, then white again, then grey, blue and red words. It reads as follows;
BOOT RECOVERY MODE CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS sbli partition doesn't exist ODIN MODE PRODUCT NAME: SW-G900A CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB) RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1 SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE UDC START
I have tried everything from removing battery, removing SD CARD, SIM CARD, connecting to charger, connecting to USB cable on my laptop, holding volume up, home, and power button. My biggest fear is losing all my data. I have 100's of photos of my 3 month old newborn on my phone memory because I was running low on my SD CARD. I can't fathom losing all her newborn pictures.
This morning I left my phone in my bootbag. Came back and noticed there was a small crack not in the cover itself but the actual screen. Now the screen is black, doesn't seem like an liquid has spilt like when a screen breaks (But then what do I know?!).I got a friend to phone it, it still rings.. vibrates, the two lights either side of the button still light up.. does what it usually should. But the screen itself remains black. I plugged it into Kies via USB in the hope I could create a backup and order a new phone. But because it has a keylock on the home screen. I need to unlock that in order for Kies to connect.Is there any other way at all I can remove the sufficient data? E.g. Photo's, Videos.. as there's alot of sentimental things on there. I should really learn to start backing things up. But its always too late to say that.
I tried to flash my device with flashify, and after I did, It rebot and now It's stuck at the boot logo I can only put my phone on Download mode, the power up recovery settings doesn't not work at all, I tried flashing it back to firmware but I will get "CHECK FAIL DEVICE: 3 BINARY: 2" ... I downloaded the right firmware, my device that I got is, Samsung s6 edge (SM-G925P).lp !
I'm using G920I Australia version. I can successfully root using CF-Auto-Root.
But I can not get into TWRP recovery after I flashed that (tried both versions of the recovery) using odin. It stops at the first screen (samsung logo). I tried using adb commond reboot recovery and the hardware key (volum up+power+home), both of them do not let me in to the custom recovery.
I had tried enabled knox before flash TWRP, which made it into boot loop. And then recoveried using the official firmware. Now I can only get into the official recovery.
How to get into the TWRP? BTW, how to backup the pit file using adb? On previous models it was mmcblk0, but Galaxy S6 seems to have changed the memory map to sda1, sda2, etc.
