Device encryption - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, Has anyone tried to encrypt their device? Do you know if you can use fingerprint access to sign it or are you stuck with a crazy long password with a compulsory symbol?
I am trying to link my email to my phone which sends patient sensitive information so its quite confidential. My previous devices (IOS) just required a 4 digit pin and I had to change that every month, but pin cant be any of the previous 3. that was bearable because i used 1111,2222,3333,5555....
can anyone offer any advice? I dont think I'm too keen on rooting (i dont even know what that is....)
Thanks

[Q] Unlocking xperia U without knowing the unlock pattern?

My friend has been deceased in a car accident this Sunday.
Is it possible to unlock his sony xperia u phone without knowing the unlock pattern to contact his friends, relatives, and everyone that matters?
Or flashing a custom recovery to the phone somehow and cloning all the data on the storage to an sd card or hdd?
Every option, recommendation, possibility matters, even taking the phone into a sony service or sth. like that.
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks!

Well, just try some random patterns. Sometimes, it's just a real simple one. If that doesn't work, and you enter the wrong pattern for a certain amount of times, you can get in using the Google account (if you have those credentials) or by answering the security question. I can't think of anything other than that, but perhaps some smart folks around here have a good idea.
I think its impossible due to android security programming unless you just keep tring or answer the security questions or crack his google account password.
If USB debugging is turned on its possible.Just delete gesture.key from /data/system using adb shell..

Working root for Veron Ellipsis 10 (QTAIR7)?

Hello. I just got the Verizon Ellipsis 10 (QTAIR70 tablet. Is there a working root method for it available? Thanks in advance.
I posted this question about 4 weeks ago and there has been no response yet. It's not even listed as a device on this site. It might be because it is from Verizon. They make it almost impossible to access your own device. This will be the last Verizon device that I buy.
Root Help please!

BUMB
Is there any news on this front
I also have the Verizon ellipsis 10 I have $500. Into mine, with all the accessories! I want to Root it. I had problems with my service, for over two weeks I wasn't getting any service, So I told them to disconnect me, because I wasn't paying for something that I wasn't getting. They continued to charge me for three months after wards. I wasn't even using my tablet at that point. They sent me to collections. I feel that after paying $500. For the products & getting screwed over, that I deserve to have better options & control of my device. Has anyone safely rooted this device???? Please help!
How do you get senior members to see your post?????
I have been watching this for a while. Does not seem like anyone is working on root for it unfortunately. I have had mine for a while and have been waiting for root not sure if it's going to happen. Good luck
Please root of custom recovery for qtair7
Can I install a custom bootloader on this? And root? In developer options it has an option for OEM unlocking.
I'm guessing no one with any knowledge or skills has one of these. A friend gave me his after he factory reset it and got locked out. It'd be nice to have root, and CM on it.

Just noticed your post.
I actually have one that I've been unable to get past the FRP on for the last month or so.
Would you be kind enough to share your knowledge on the bypass?
I'd be very grateful if you would.
Kind regards.

I also would love an frp workaround.. I have a client who has hired my computer security company to remove an frp lock from their grandsons ellipsis 10 tablet... he forgot his password...
Thank You for helping and being a part of XDA..
I know this is an old thread but the FRP workaround on this device is pretty easy. You have to side step the device setup download a few files and install them and then you can add and additional G account, then finish device setup and do a factory reset from the device settings screen.
Visit the following page and in setup you need to download and install Google acount manager 5 and the add a google acount apks. you then setup a new G acount through the browser. They have a youtube video on how to do it if you look for a link on their page.

I have unlocked a few of the ellipsis 10 tablets with the frp account.
If you need more help respond here and I can search my memory to help your out.
If you could help with this i would be GREATLY and ETERNALLY grateful! Plea$e contact me at
[email protected] Again thank you and I look foreward to your reply, I paid for this damn tablet and would like to use it for something other than a paperweight!!
Ok so I hear the bypass used here as mentioned used to work but if your tablet now has the latest updates, it won't. When I try to get In via browser it won't, stating that java needs to be enabled. Well tonight I finally slipped In and got into Google somewhat of a browser. And I can search and click links but when I go to try and download apk files, just nothing at all happens.
To get into the Google browser I go thru the setup till I get to verify account. Hit the forgot email, and typed in a phone number. Hit next band then it asks for first name. But now, on the keyboard below notice the small microphone. Tap that. Then, tap the settings icon on the left. After that, go to About on the bottom left. Then legal, on the right side. Then, tap privacy policy. On the very top look for the colorful GOOGLE and tap that. In. From there I can't get the apk files to download. Or if they are downloading, no option to open. Can anyone help from here??
just add 2 google accounts! first thru google account manager then thru settings under accounts and voila back out all the way to activation screen and finish the activation as normal and your done had to try different thing because info on this is very limited and the other tips did not work for me
side note developer mode would not turn on no matter how many times i tapped on build number while in bypass mode developer works once your in as main account
elipsis 10 bypass
so i am able to get to the part where i am supposed to tap it 7 times to get in dev mode but nothing happens, what do I do next?

I very wait a video can be root and open network of this tablet
I sold off the few Elipsis 10 tablets that I had, but you were correct in that they were not updated when I bypassed frp as the last update patched those vulnerabilities.
You have to experiment to get to the chrome browser and be able to install apks, same as almost any other android device with an FRP lock.

My university email (Exchange) requires insane permissions, can I bypass them?

Hi XDA,
I was setting up my school email account on my phone, and saw how insane the permissions it wants are. It requires full admin permissions (1, 2). Can I somehow bypass this? I have a rooted LG G4 with Xposed, but all the modules that do this sorta thing seem to be for LL only.
I think it's quite ridiculous that they even ask for it, it's my phone, not theirs. They say its so they can help when the phone is stolen, but that sounds like BS to me. It's also not really an option not to use it, since they change the schedule a lot and we're also supposed to reply to emails as quickly as possible.
Anyway, thanks for the help in advance!
There will be no discussion of cracking access to things that aren't yours, cracking your phone is fine because it is yours. As you said, the phone is yours, only the phone, if you want access to their stuff then follow the rules to use their stuff.

Help Recovering Data from Xperia X

Hello Everyone,
This is a 100% genuine question, I am not a crook, blagger or thief.
A friend of a friend passed away recently, she was young (30's) and left three young children behind and a heartbroken husband.
Anyway, she had a sony xperia X with photos of her kids, her life and all her personal accounts linked to it - and it is behind a password so her family have been unable to gain access to her phone. They have asked me to help as ive done a few things for my friend in the past with a high level of success (data recovery, etc)
I have a ton of info about her, kids DOB's, husbands DOB, all their names, her email account (but no password for that either) and a ton of hints and suggestions of what the PW could be from her dad but so far ive been unable to get in.
I have tried DrFone android toolkit but the phone isn't supported.
I have searched and searched and the things I have found either involve a hard reset/wipe which we dont want or involve using some dodgy solution that I really dont trust (i only just persuaded myself to get DrFone as that didnt exactly look fully legit)
So i'm reaching out to this community as I know if anyone will have any suggestions it would more than likely you guys.
Im a LONG time lurker of these forums (although i'm ashamed to admit ive only just singed up now to post this) im reasonably clued up on these things and have messed about with phones since I was a kid, but this has left me scratching my head.
Few points to note;
The phone is locked with a password, I dont beleive USB debugging will be enabled (cant check) and I *think* i know the gmail account linked to it but cant get access to it. The phone is no longer on a network so cant access the web or have security pins sent to it via SMS although I dont think I would be able to see them as its been rebooted and needs password to view contents of any messages that come in.
Thanks in advance guys and girls
if its locked bootloader then there is no way you can retrieve data
not from the internal storage
its encrypted! any attempt to login and rooting will require long process and sony will wipe everything
try remembering her gmail and password. usually backup goes to gmailaccount , perhaps thats you clue
Thanks for your reply mate, I am trying to get access to her email, I shall keep you posted
Why not unlock her bootloader, flash TWRP and gain access to the pictures that way?
Edit: OEM unlock needs to be enabled in developer options - unlikely

Enter Lockscreen Password after 3 Days

Really Huawei? my password is something like this:
[email protected]
If i have to enter it every 3 days (120times a year) i will die.
didnt find a solution to remove, anyone have a idea?
Don't understand.
Which password?

If you use your Fingerprint-Sensor, you need also a password for it, right?
And after every 3 Days - my phone says i need to enter my password again.
same like here:

Don't use password..
I don't think there is a way to disable it. Just use a pin to make your life easy.

Thats also on oneplus phones, at 2-3 days as well. Is just simply a security measure for some of us which are bad at remembering passwords/pins. I think this is a very good thing to not forget your passwords or pins

Or you could use a keepass data base ^^
Big mistake buying this phone. Don't buy this phone. Ridiculous we cannot eliminate this pin code when we already use fingerprint protection.
---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
First, know this. You can remove the password, however, you will also remove all other protection, like fingerprint id. etc. I find this very suspicious.
Go to settings - Security & privacy - Screen lock & passwords - Password
Enter your password
Go to password > and enter None
You now have zero protection
I seriously think that it should be possible to disable the "forced" 3-day password/pin code while still having the fingerprint reader security and possibility to unlock using the password/pin code.
The 3-day forced password/pin HAS to be optional.
Best Regards
Me
Change the password to a more easy one...

To not have to be surprised when your phone ask it? Why put a password if you do not want to use it? I have the same kind of password, and enter them for every account I have on the web, each different, not a big problem with a physical keyboard cause a 16 letter/digit/symbol password can be done in less than 5sec. But for the phone, a gesture pin with the path set to invisible do the thing, you can do pretty f*cked up gesture rather than just un L or a W like majority of people do. And not be bothered when asked the pass. Finger print is not a secure way to unlock the phone anyway (it whould just be a authentification, not a pass), so putting a strong password as not real meaning here.
All that drama....just use 1234 pin and make your life easier
What if I have a medical emergency and I am not able to type any password? I just want to put my finger and then touch the icon of my medical care.
Is this something that only happens on this particular build??? My mate 10 (non-pro) has never done what you are saying here? I use a fingerprint for access with a PIN to unlock on boot up, but I have never been asked for a PIN/Password every three days. Now my phone has not yet received Pie...so I am not sure if that is the cause. Someone also said in a previous post that this happens on OnePlus also??? I have a brand new OnePlus 6 (not T) running on Pie and this does not happen on this phone either? Something is not right here.
I have the same thing both on Oreo and on Pie, it's maybe region related but not big deal for me.
damn what you are you hiding in that phone with this kinda password??? nuclear launch codes??
give yourself a break.
anyways ...good post.... looking forward for a solution. good day
this is nothing special to huawei,
it came from the google nexus smartphones:
