So all of a sudden the s21 is asking for password after restart. I use the same password or 4 variations of it for these accounts. However I cannot login. I can goto web or new device and log in to my Google and Samsung accounts. But the device does t want to allow this.
I’ve seen options to flash firmware back one, I’ve done this in past. And can walk through most options. I tried ADB. But it is not enabled. And that’s become a major issue. If I could do any kind of backup, retrieval of the photos and contacts. That’s all I care about. The rest is not a big deal.
Anyone have any kind of insight? Direction? Thoughts? I can see the device in find my, but there aren’t any options to unlock. Just send message and erase.
I am willing to try almost anything, and if there’s a paid service I will try that. I’ve never seen this screen before, and have never had this issue. It does not make sense.
I purchased a new device and setup with passwords no problem. But there isn’t a backup on Google of the phone there. I tried wiping tge cache and that didn’t help either. I attached a photo of what the screen looks like.
Fwiw. I have photos of wedding and brother that just passed. i don’t want to lose those. I am desperate for any answer. Someone with tech support said I could send device to LV and they can do it. Takes two weeks and phone might not be useable afterwards.
Have you tried using Odin to flash the latest firmware?
What exactly does the password screen look like?

I do have a question about Odin, I downloaded from XDA. But it says to delete Google account before flashing or it will have problems. Wouldn’t that cause me to lose data?
No, if you back up with smart switch
Or you can bypass

It is 0rigins that make it first
And we didn't solved this problem
This happened to a friend of mine and i was able to "solved" it because he had a custom recovery TWRP.
I copied his files to a PC, while the phone was in recovery mode, then do a factory reset.
Later i found out that was an easier way to unlock the phone:
Remove /Bypass Lockscreen With Recovery
Recently when i restored my data using TWRP i faced a problem at lock screen. I was not able to unlock my phone with the pin i set Earlier..So after so many attempts i was able to find a solution for that problem.(works with pattern,pin etc)...
forum.xda-developers.com
But all this requires a TWRP recovery. If you don´t have that, i guess that the password you need is the one that you have set on the device, while configuring fingerprints.
If you have "find my phone" enable, you should be able to reset that password using a browser on a PC...
Have you found out any other solution?

Good day,
As of about two days ago my Captivate (rooted, side loading enabled) would get stuck "obtaining address" when trying to hook up to wifi. It does this with my home access point as well as municipal wifi. It says "obtaining address" for about 3-5 minutes then says "could not connect" or similar.
I tried uninstalling all recent apps - no dice. I just reset my Captivate first through the settings menu and then through the volume buttons/power button method. It still is not working. Any ideas? Should I return it for another one? Since I did a total factory reset twice, I don't see how it can be a software problem... then again, I am new to Android.
Thanks, gents and ladies.
If you are within 30 days, I'd return.

Is there anything I should do besides having already reset the phone - so as not to void the warranty? The rooting and sideloading mods should be undone now, right?
Thanks for the help.
See if you can manually set an IP address. Sounds like DHCP is having issues for some reason.
Also, I am not certain but I think I remember reading that even a factory reset might leave remnant files around. Do a search (I am too lazy) and if I am right, look into wiping the phone and then reseting it.

Rooting your phone voids your warranty. Have you done a Odin one click restore back to JFS 6 stock. That should fix your issue, and if it doesn't you know you probably need to return the phone.

Thanks Ian - I did a factory data reset and then reset it - let me see if I can find another way to wipe the phone. About to try manual DHCP as well.

Is there anyway to do this without wiping the phone?
I have using this ROM for over a week, when suddenly this issue popped up today. I don't want to go through the painful process of restoring all my settings.
I dont know much about this kind of stuff. I spent all day researching but all I understand is that I need usb debugging on in order to use ADB. is there a way to get this usb thing enabled with my phone locked? I cant factory restore this thing it has way to many important things on it and frankly I will end up doing something immensely stupid to the person that cost me that... I really need help or im screwed.

Calm down and think of alternative points of entry. That was a valid and helpful suggestion above as it is easy if you only had a few accounts.
Have you flashed a custom recovery to the phone in the past? If not, research getting into the bootloader to flash a custom recovery first.
Then back up the system in recovery and copy files to PC before trying alterations to bypass system security.
First thought is to edit the build.prop file of the system from recovery, to turn on USB debugging. Then proceed with whatever other info you found before this thread.
Could also try to alter the system partition via recovery zip. There may be a mod out there for this: http://en.miui.com/thread-5684-1-1.html but do have to be wary of compatibility with your ROM. Best to check it out and ask first before flashing.
Flash a custom recovery, make a NANDroid, backup the SD card. Copy whatever you need from the NANDroid, factory reset, copy it back. Done

OP, folks are trying to help, and I am watching this thread too, I suggest if you have a legitimate issue, you contact your carrier as well.
I hope you get your problem resolved, but being disrespectful in your plight is not proper, for you or any user.
I went to install the most recent up date. When it got done installing it started to reboot. It then got stuck on the HTC start up screen. I do not know a whole bunch on phones but did a little research and tried to recover and reboot the phone and neither worked. I would really like to find a fix that does not involve erasing all my data. I have all the pictures of my baby from the past year, from the time that he was born until now, and I would really hate to lose those. Thank you!

Maybe some more information... what ROM, was this a stock OTA? If you have custom recovery and are attempting to flash a custom ROM, then try to reflash...if you have lost your data already or to avoid data loss;try side-loading a ROM...can't tell you much from what I've read, but if you can hold power+ volume down simultaneously for about 15 secs you should end up in recovery, if you installed a custom recovery; e.g.Philz, TWRP, CWM...then you'll pop up there....
It is safe to say that if you don't have any of these custom recoveries then you'll need to use the RUU found in the Dev section....

... by the look of you message, it feels you havent unlocked your bootloader and here i will be happy to be wrong. if you have already then you got a bright chance of flashing a custom recovery via fastboot and retrieving your data mounting the storage from recovery ...

I am sorry, I am completely stupid when it comes to phone. I know that I have not done any customizations. It is not rooted and would not have a custom ROM, not quite sure what that is. Everything should be stock. So what would I have to do to do the option that you have stated? I apologize for my lack of knowledge.
does your pc recognize the the phone when you plug it in? you could try extracting the data like stated before, but you're not rooted so that'd be a problem. an ruu would be your best bet, even though you'll lose your data. I HIGHLY suggest creating a dropbox and backing up your photos, it has done wonders for me.

It recognizes it to an extent. My computer will ding recognizing that it is plugged in but since it does not go past the start up screen you can't get into the phone storage. I do have a dropbox but with the thousands of pictures on my phone it unfortunately only stored a month or so of pictures. I am not so much worried about the phone, as I have insurance on it and can get it replaced. Just really want the pictures. When looking online I had read something about unlocking the boot menu and downloading a ROM I believe. Do you know anything about that and if it would work for me? Or is that the same thing as the RUU?

Mine gets stuck on boot screen occasionally. Sounds weird but hold the phone drectly up to a light bulb and try to reboot the phone. This works for my particular problem. Not sure why but it does.

Hold power and vol-down together until it reboots into bootloader. Connect to USB and select 'fastboot' on the bootloader menu. That should get you to fastboot. From there, you can HTCDEV unlock the thing (in all likelihood).
Hi.
A friend asked my help with his Yarvik tab10-410. Being a bit more easy to me, I'm forced to ask help.
This tablet was infected with malware. According to what I can see and read about, it might have been rooted before. Every time I go to recovery and apply factory reset, the malware keeps annoying. even without internet connection.
Tried safe mode and nothing. In comparison to my son's Chuwi alike, I noticed that there is no internal sdcard (at least it won't mount).
Don't know what I can do beside applying some based code: custom rom, stock OS, whatever.
But neither of them appeared in my googling hours.
Does anybody have a solution? My knowledge is Android matters is very limited, but I follow instructions very well.
I only was able to root my smartphone to remove some bloatware.
Thanks.

Chanced are that you've already tried this but just in case, there is a hard reset option for this specific tablet.
http://www.hardreset.info/devices/yarvik/yarvik-tab10-410-noble-101/
This might work if you're trying to do a factory reset.
That's what I ment by factory reset. Since even after that the malware appears, that's why I think the tablet might have been infected as root.
Hi, You need to find a factory image to flash to your device, if not you cant fix that infection.

Flash stock firmware via ODIN making sure to match bootloader version. Make sure to also flash CSC for full wipe.
1. Turn off your phone
2. Plug in usb to computer
3. Hold vol up and power button to enter recovery until samsung logo appears
4- navigate using vol up/down to factory reset and select using power key
5. wait for restart

Easter Egg is app that comes installed on all devices - it's part of android open source project.... You'll even find videos on YouTube
Unless you can send screenshots it's anyone's guess as to what the hell you're tripping about.
Reflash via Odin - with data wipe - would clean out any and all malware if you believe there actually is something going on...
