I just downloaded Kies and did the update. Now my phone has rebooted, but it is saying "Confirm Password". I have tried my google/samsung account passwords and now have it saying "Sorry try again, If you fail one more time you can lose data in sd card".
The first time i did the update, I came back to the computer with a "Timed Out" error displaying. I just restarted the update again, and kept the phone/computer from going to off/screen saver.
I restarted the phone and used the screen unlock code

I recently made the mistake of updating my phone with the new OTA with Ryans lagfix still on my phone. The update failed me to the constant Vibrant/Samsung screen and all I could do is Odin my phone back to stock. Now I am back to facory settings, but have a new problem:
When I try to log into my google account via phone/Desktop browser it says my username or password is incorrect. I know I am entering my ID and Password correctly, but I am still unable to log in. On my phone, once I enter the ID and password, it brings me to the CAPTCHA page. I enter the correct letters and it goes to the signing in screen then back to CAPTCHA. This cycle keeps repeating.
When i try to log into Google on my PC it gives me the same User ID or Password incorrect. Again, I know what my information is since I've been using it for 3-4 years and up until yesterday it worked fine. Is it possible that using Odin to bring my phone back to stock borked my google accounts?
I got the phone yesterday and only installed the automatic updates from the play store. I did try and side load one app but took it off.. Now I have been getting this message when I turn my phone on. TO correct this I have to pull the battery.
I have now uninstalled all the apps that require root access... root browser, ROM manager, Ad away etc.... Has not re occurred yet
Any ideas?
factory reset
I just did a factory reset and am still getting the error
I was using my Galaxy S4 when it suddenly froze, then rebooted itself. Now, it is telling me that my password is incorrect, even though I am 1000% sure that I am typing it correctly.
I have typed it over and over, to the point where it now says that if I fail to type in the correct password 5 more times, all of the data on the phone will be reset.
I think the issue might be related to me having updated to Android Lollipop about two days ago. This is the first time the phone has rebooted since I updated to Lollipop. Could something have happened during the update? Or did Lollipop change my password?
I have attached an image of what is shown. (The part I crossed out is my name. Also, I am not actually German, but I bought this phone from a German website.)
My phone is encrypted, which I think is the reason why the password screen is gray instead of my regular wallpaper. I have not changed my password in over a year, and have typed it in dozens of times. I am definitely typing it correctly.
I have already tried resetting the password through the Google Play Android Device Manager, to no avail. My phone is listed, but neither "ringing" nor "locking" the phone do anything, probably because the phone is encrypted and therefore does not connect to the internet before the password is successfully entered. When I try ringing/locking, it says that the "reset was successfully sent", but nothing actually happens to the phone.
Plugging the phone into my PC over USB also does not work. Windows shows that it is installing the drivers, but the phone is not listed in 'Computer', again most likely because the phone is encrypted/locked by password.
Any ideas how I can either get this phone unlocked, or my data recovered?
I am having the exact same problem except my error message says "an incorrect attempt to unlock the device has been made. You have 5 attempts left before your device is reset to its factory settings and all data, including files and downloaded applications, is erased from your device storage."
I did a factory reset on my s9+ yesterday, and after that when i try to search for updates it tries to register my phone, but it fails everytime or just keeps trying forever. I tried connecting it to Kies but it won't recognize it. Idk what happened. It just won't let me check for any updates. It's an unlocked s9+ running on android 9.
Samsung A8 (2018), (SM-A530F/DS) homescreen stuck in "phone is starting" after update
Hi guys, yesterday i did a software update for my samsung A8 (2018) phone and it was going normal until i received an error message at the end of the update. My phone continued to boot successfully but now the homescreen is always stuck in "phone is starting" message.
The phone itself works and i am able to open other apps via google playstore but the homescreen is unusable. I have tried doing cache partition wipes and factory resets, i also thought it was a soft-brick so i tried FRP hijacker with the soft-brick fixer but it just says "check connection" even though my PC successfully scanned the port of my phone. When i open my phone in recovery mode it says "firmware is not valid" at the end of the command line.
I have tried searching online for similar issues but most users have experienced bootloops which is not exactly the problem i have right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Taken from Samsung:
Devices with Android 9 or higher will automatically enable file-based encryption if it has a PIN, pattern, or password set up. During the boot process, the phone will display "Phone is starting..." and the screen may be blank for a few seconds while encryption is taking place. However, if you feel it takes too long for your phone to start, you can disable the encryption to cut a few seconds off of the boot time.

Hi jwoegerbauer, thank you for the reply however unfortunately i don't think the "phone is starting" protocol is actually working. I only experienced this problem right after the latest software update and that was about last night, I have actually tried waiting for the phone to load up but it actually never does (even though i left my phone idle and waited for hours). I am fairly certain that it is a glitch/bug caused by the error at the end of the software update however i am not sure on what to do in such an occasion.
So as to clarify, the software update DID NOT complete as there was an error/failed message right at the end of it but while looking up in the internet i found out that apparently software updates are permanent and cannot be reverted back?
If that is the case then i am really in a pinch right now as i cannot go back to my old software version and yet the new one also does not work.
