So here is my issue.
While testing some thing. i did a remote wipe from my samsung account.
Now everytime the phone turns on its ask for password saying phone is lost found. I have tried couple of things. but it seems. It just wont remove or take any password. while it gives me the option to put a password. just doesnt like any password i put in.
I have a N960N korean 512gb Note 9
N960NKSU2ARI9_N960NOKR2ARI9_SKC - Firmware i flashed. Had to go to Binary 2 as . No options were available for Binary 1
*** looks like this might be what some ppl online call it. Please call me fix.**
No warranty in Canada. So out of luck.
I have tried wiping it and reseting it. But every time the phone starts up its ask for password. I try my password that i use. but doesnt work.
Mind you this is not google account . It looks like Samsung account password.
I cannot delete it.
I cannot change it.
Things i have tried.
1. Factory Binary. - Didn't help. Once i do and go about flashing stock ROM phone goes in a boot loop. I have tried flashing one file at a time. after flashing the binary. Then tried BL AP and Home CSC or Just CSC . phone goes in boot loop.
2. Then tried flashing different firmware from different variant - didn't work
3. then Finally. TWRP. Tried reset wipe cache. and adding OS. - Stock OS wont go. have to flash the whole thing. Then now trying Dr Ketans Rom. but same i can flash it. but as soon as the phone turns on . Its ask for password.
Also - I have a friend of a friend who works at Samsung Repair center here and they even tried to do what they call a kill flash. where it basically deletes samsung account and google account. but no available.
BTW my OEM and FRP Lock are off.
4. Someone Here suggested something about a EFS file. which i am not sure about.
Somehow this password seems like a Gate . where i can hop on flash and do anything inside. no issue. But in order to get the phone working i need the password. other wise the phone always boot up to that password screen and it wont let me bypass. I have tried all passwords that i know or use but non work. I am open for suggestions. I cannot send it for warranty as this is an International device and i am in canada . They wont warranty here. secondly i just lost my warranty by root.
Was this the kind of Lock/Wipe you did from the Samsung site? It seems like whatever you chose to set that PIN to, will be the one to unlock your phone.

Hmm not sure, but I would try logging into your Samsung account (from your computer) and resetting your password. Then try that password on your phone when prompted. If still no luck, try going through the Samsung account (where you did a remote wipe) so you can do a remote unlock.
In the end your passwords should work though... otherwise this situation is no different than a 'found' phone (which we can't help crack).

Hi, I have checked this thread as I experienced the same issue(If confused what I'm talking about read
www chinaphonearena com/forum/Thread-Question-LeEco-Le-S3-X626-Helio-X20-Bricked ), I was able to get past the phone buttons not working and was able to flash a new firmware. But this led to another issue considering the system.
For one, I am unable to unlock my bootloader, I just receive the error : FAILED (remote: unlock operation is not allowed), and there is no way fro me to get in my android as it always stays on the LeEco POWERED BY ANDROID screen, which then shuts down and reboots.#
As well as this, the display is now very unusual: the LeEco logo is coloured green white and yellow, the display is flipped horizontally and mirrored vertically.

The image above shows this.
It's VERY annoying and I hope it can be solved.
NOTE!! I can still use locked bootloader/fastboot, can't use adb and can use SP FLASH TOOL
You need to power the phone and wait till boots. Enter the flipped UI enable developer mode and unlock the bootloader.
All the control are flipped so be patient.
After that enter fastboot and flash the original rom

Thanks for the reply, I fixed the issue the same day, I just fixed it using the second part to tickernel's red light unbrick tutorial, I completely missed it out. The rom I was using where everything was inverted was just to unbrick the phone, then after I'd have to flash the rom provided by tickernel to fix. It worked again and an advantage was that there was no more ORANGE state, I didn't have to patch to hide the message nor wait the 5 seconds, so now I can flash custom roms on my phone without the message. The method you provided wasn't the fix, before opening this thread I double checked and saw your method, but thanks anyway .
it was necessary to use a mirror. for example, in the bathroom
after brick and ressurect what write in (telephone settings) model?

it depends on which model is taken ROM. It does not play any role. Can be changed to Build.prop

after bad ressurects i return my device le x626. to le x620 with eui 5.8.018S (stab.) it works normal. But was some bugs with 4g on (turn phone off) and google programs don's start.
But i fixed it all, now it works great, but i think is it bad?
take the stock firmware 28. and install. why use the old version? maybe get my firmware.
to use google apps. you need to download google installer, then after installation, in the settings give permissions to all Google apps.
and correctly to do so: to install firmware, then to start system and to configure it. and then only install the google gapps.
Update on unbrick
With my phone unbricked, it now works perfectly. But now the battery drains very fast. It drops by around 25% in less than half an hour with normal use such as watching videos on youtube in "360p" with all my apps closed, but still the battery drains. I have tried flashing different roms and clearing all partitions in twrp and flashing the CUOCO AND WOLFRED x.28s custom stock roms, but still the issue persists. This is very unusual as before my phone bricked, the battery would hold up for at least an hour before falling by 10 to 20 %. Does anyone have any speculations on why or any fixes? Please help.
UPDATE: I fixed by flashing the international version system.img only if you need it send me a message and I'll put up a link.
Hey folks!
The phone fell a few times and now i'm getting a white screen that comes on every now and then with the message in red
“Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing” and “Custom binary blocked by FRP lock,”
I honestly have no idea on what to do.
Phone kind of important to me so I'm trying to preserve it,
Anyway I can get it going again without wiping everything on it ? Or is there anyway the data could be retrieved ?
Thank You!!!

This button was pressed to try and install idk maybe a custom recovery or a new rom, without having permission to do so, this is inherited from a google account being on the phone... either that or if you already were custom, this button was pressed to turn it off and now you get blocked from using custom code, unlock the bootloader and get rid of the frp lock and you are good, i will not help you with this procedure as it can be considered piracy and we dont do that here sorry for the wierd screenshot, it was a google result

I wish it where actually all that but the phone dropped to the ground. I got a screen replacement and when I tried to turn it on its been in this constant boot loop of that error message and nothing more.
I never tried to install any rom's. I'm not seeing how I would be able to out the boot loader if all it will do is constantly reset ?

It's resetting because it's denying the signature on the binary of the installed firmware, that basically means a "read only" part of the phone, has been tampered with, and the "selinux not enforcing" part indicates this because many custom roms and kernels have an selinux non enforcing kernel.. and then on to frp lock, frp is Factory Reset Protection, which has been tripped, somehow, I can't say, but most oftenly this combination I've only seen on samsung's when you have unlocked the bootloader, this you need to do in order to tamper with these files, installed like rom/kernel/root, whatever the change might be, then somehow unticked the "allow OEM-Unlock" so the bootloader that is now unlocked is not allowed to be unlocked by the system itself, creating a break in the chain of trust between start and standby, and which makes you stuck in a wierd loop like this, if someone else replaced the screen for you I should really, really go talk to them. If you are the rightful owner of this phone and have no idea of anything about what I've talked about just now is and never did any of this before, someone did, and you should confront them. But I believe it's against the rules to assist with such things here and thus cannot help you any further in the matter
Hello, I was watching YT a few weeks ago and the phone (ASUS ROG Phone 2 tencent edition version 8/128) decided to reboot by itself. It done it before but this time it wouldn't get past the starting logo and restart again! It would keep looping until the battery ran empty... SO I booted in recovery mode, tried to factory reset and get E:Failed to save locale.
A friend has been trying to help me fix the phone and this was the result (screenshot). He can't figure it out.

Hey, haven't backed up before at any point and don't have warrenty. Is there a way to get the phone working again?
Can't find old screenshot; if I remember correctly the first time I tried to factory reset after looping it said "driver E missing" something along that line. Up to that point never tried to change anything on the device by using a usb or PC.

Do it this way:
1. Make a Wipe
2. Download this file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682901175
3. Run fastboot bootloader and connect to computer (side port)
4. Unpack and run "flashall_AFT.cmd" wait for the phone to reset and start up.
Should help.

i dont think so you can retrive your old files
Hi,
So I've been putting off this last update for some time and finally decided to update it yesterday. Not sure what happened during the process as I left it unattended, came to find out it's stuck on this downloading screen (attacehd image). tried several restarts with no luck.
At one point, after reading a few threads here, I decided to do a firmware restore using ODIN. But, by the time I got to a point to get things going, the phone just shut off! I had it plugged in on the outlet but I guess it wasn't charging? Phone wouldn't start back up anymore!
I would really appreciate some help and guidance on my options now. I'm guessing the battery drained completely Is there any way to get it recharged and revived? If I have to replace the battery with a new one, I can attempt that as well.
Please advise.
Thank you for your input.

have you tried smartswitch?
Hmm, does it do anything if you hold all 3 buttons down for up to 30 seconds?
Perhaps try leaving it attached to whatever device you were trying to flash from, your connection to the outlet may not be working?
The phone is ALIVE!
Display came on! It's plugged in and back to the same screen. What do I try in smartswitch?
What's the best way to recover from that screen that I posted in my first post? Please advise.
Smartswitch fails to connect to the device. What else can I try?
You can try the emergency firmware recovery feature of Smart Switch. Let us know if that does anything.
EDIT: Oops, I didnt read your comment on how Smart Switch doesnt connect to your phone... Try a different PC or USB cable maybe?
The phone gets detected in ODIN but smartswitch says failed to connect to the device. please remove cable and try again.
I would like to see if I can recover without losing my data. Do you think that's possible at this point?
I'm downloading the firmware using Frija at this point and thinking of flushing using ODIN. but would like to avoid resetting if at all possible.

Try using HOME CSC when flashing, if provided. From what I know, it retains user data if flashed with HOME CSC (please look this up yourself however as I havent done much research on this).
Can someone please advise the proper firmware and filesets to flush using the home csc and not lose the data?
I have downloaded a firmware using Frija by providing my phone details and using USC as the CSC. I purchased this phone unlocked.
Below are the files in the archive:
AP_G991U1UES5DWA4_G991U1UES5DWA4_MQB61413430_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS13.tar.md5
BL_G991U1UES5DWA4_G991U1UES5DWA4_MQB61413430_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G991U1UES5DWA4_CP23593197_MQB61413430_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OYM_G991U1OYM5DWA4_MQB61413430_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OYM_G991U1OYM5DWA4_MQB61413430_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Just use HOME_CSC file and the rest of AP, BL and CP to flush?
Thanks so much.
Phone is back up and running with all data restored after firmware flush was done with ODIN.
Thank you for all your help.

Youre welcome!
I have a camellia device, I tried to use a custom rom(pixel experience) the other day and some time later I wanted to revert back to stock rom.
I mistakenly flashed "camellian" rom instead of "camellia" rom through PE recovery.
Since then the device kept bootlooping.
So while troubleshooting, I tried to use the Sp flash tool.
For the roms I get them from "mifirm.net". I downloaded all the necessary drivers that I can find.
But the first version of SP flash tool, Sp flash tool v6,
the app asks for the "download-XML" file which I can't find ( screenshot in pic1).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I downloaded another version.
In this version though, the app doesn't recognize the xml file and gives the error
"5011; the scatter file has incorrect format! Please ask for help!"
I googled the reason why it gives me the error but the fix that people are giving didn't seem to fix this particular case. (pic 5,6,7).
.
.
.
I can't find any other fixes so I gave up on Sp flash tool.
I tried to use "mi flash tool" this time with Global rom.
Again, wrongly I flashed it with the Qualcomm settings a bunch of times and also got the bootloader locked. But the flash got successful somehow?
(I can't provide any pics because I am making this thread now after I've sent the phone to the Xiaomi service and I didn't take screenshots before sent it)
At this point I noticed that the stock recovery is back into the device.
Anyway, I used some 'shady' workarounds to get it unlocked again and when it was unlocked the phone said something like "your device is corrupt and can't be trusted".
It went away when I flash the stock rom with Mi flash tool again. ( I still used the Qualcomm settings)
When it's done it's still bootlooping but at least the "your device is corrupt and can't be trusted" message is gone.
I tried again a couple of times with different versions of roms; miui 12, 13, 14, global, china, india.
It was after that I discovered that there is "MTK" option in Mi flash tool.
I selected the "scatter, auth, and DA" files in it. But there seem to not have the "refresh" buttom to detect the device. I tried plugging into it with Fastboot mode and again while pressing volume down, up, and all buttons. Nothing showed up. (pic.8)
So what do you guys think? Do you have answers to any of the problems that I got during this journey? Please share your thoughts because there is no answers of a lot of my questions when I was trying to google it. I could not even use reddit because as you know, that site is under strike and apparently dead for the moment. I would love to know what experienced people have to say about this post. ^_^
