I have a fresh install (wiped data/dalvik/system x2) of fre3, wiped dalvik after, and I cannot change my lock screen settings. PIN and password are available, but do not change when I attempt to enable either. All I have on this is my google account. No VPN, credentials cleared. SD card is NOT encrypted.
Same issue occurred on kitkatkiller rom.
Anyone have any ideas?
As it turns out, I loaded an NAB stock ROM, which, after reinstalling TWRP and fre3 all is well now.

Hi,
I am trying to update my droid charge to gingerbread - running into a weird problem, the phone updated successfully, but the applications, user data etc, stayed on - which I dont want. ( I updated to the new version because the original applications became unstable, kept crashing) - now the apps are all apparently 2.2 versions and dont work on 2.3. Seems like the phone updated the OS but the user and app settings did not wipe as I wanted.
Now the phone has latest software (OS) so I tried to use the privacy setting to wipe all data (essentially factory reset it)but that does not work either.
The phone had a non factory image originally (2.2 debloated, not sure what version, as my friend worked on it) - wondering if that has something to do with the data not being cleared.
Any ideas? Is there a way to command line wipe the data? The recovery mode gives me option to clear / factory reset, that does not work either.

This is strange and doesn't really make sense . Are your apps stored on your sd card?
i just updated from mk2 to nc5 with the keep root method and all went fine. got my xposed framework going wifi tether is good. i went to change to a pattern unlock and all the lockscreen option were greyed except for pin and password. (turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credintial storage) I DO NOT have an encrypted sd card, sim card, or phone. does anyone know how to fix this.
update: I found the patch zip all is well. please close this thread.
Good afternoon.
Recently, I dealt with the message "The Contacts application stopped". The same with Calendar app and sometimes with the Camera app. The same issue I had with the original keyboard LG, which I did not use so I did not mind that. Basically, the message appeared only after backing up with Titanium backup before I switched back to Smart Keyboard Pro.
Deleting data of the application did not help. So I had to do a Factory reset. But that logically resulted in deleting Smart Pro Keaboard and thus I was done because LG keyboard was not working again. So I could not enter the password for Wi-Fi, could not log into my Google Account and therefore all my backups were useless (LG backup, Google backup and Titanium Backup). Now, as I write this, I get an idea to install Titanium Backup from the card, so maybe next time).
So finally I had to flash the phone. Then I restored everything (root, applications, SDfix, Folder mount, ... ) and the phone worked for about a week without any problems. Then Contacts started to stop (again: "The application Contacts stopped"). I went around by using another application for contacts. But then even Settings began to stop. For example when I need to turn on Wi-Fi, I'll hold the icon for a list of available networks and the app Settings stops. The same when I try to set the background image or when I try to access the list of applications or try to view Phone info.
Prior to these problems, the phone went over a year without any problems. I've got SafeRemover, but I just deleted useless apps like Google Music and so on. I cannot delete data of the stopping apps since I cannot get into the menu.
I do not I have any suspicious newly installed application. No task killer, booster, antivirus and similar crap I do. Just SD Maid.
I have a LG L70, Android 4.4.2 with the newest firmware from LG web. I can not find out more because Setting would stop. :-/
Do you guys have any idea how to solve the problem?
You could try an older version of the firmware.
You could also try clearing cache and dalvik cache through recovery (if possivle) or flashing custom ROMs (if available).
Thanks a lot for your replies. I don't know how to clean Dalvik cache with recovery. I tried flashing the same stock ROM again with normal flash. Other possibilities are (in this order): CSE flash with the same rom, normal flash with different stock rom, custom rom.
So after normal flashing with stock ROM everything seemed ok. I recovered some apps and setting from Google account and then I started recovering from LG backup. It ended, phone switched of and is dead. I can't switch it on, load Recovery menu neither Bootloader menu (with USB cable). So it look like a hard brick.
My notebook sees the phone as "QHSUSB_BULK" in a "non-determined device" category. I'm searching the unbrick method but I start being desperate. :-/
Hey,
today I needed to turn off my phone to swap battery. On turning it back on, my Google account wasn't there anymore, a notification said "due to changes to your account you have to sign in again". But signing it just won't do it. It doesn't fail, I come to the accepting terms and conditions, but when accepting the app just closes, the account isn't created so it seems that whatever app is responsible for that just crashes for no reason without any notification. The strange things: in the process I can see only the arrow in the bottom right, not the words "next" or "accept" (at the last page), only when I tap on them I can see them. And I had no accounts.db under /data/system/users/0. Now I have that file via TB restore. And I now see, after reflashing my ROM (by wiping /system, cache and dalvik-cache in TWRP and flashing the ROM) that I also have under /data a system_ce (with accounts_ce.db) and system_de (with accounts_de.db and accounts_de.db-journal), but I don't know if I had them before the TB restore or the ROM reflashing (having english (US) and german (germany) as system languages).
No solution form anywhere else was helpful. I froze AdAway with TB, deleted /system/etc/hosts, deleted data from PlayStore and PlayServices with multiple reboots and the mentioned reflashing, nothing seems to help.
I'm running Emotion ROM based on CM 14.1 on my Note 4 N910F with latest modem and bootloader I can find. Since I don't know how far that could be ROM or CM related, I'm posting that problem here. I have absolutely no problems logging in with my account on my desktop PC via browser, even logging in on google.com from chrome on the phone is no problem. But filling in the infomation either initiated over system settings -> accounts or by opening PlayStore, I pass everything but the account is not under the accounts section and PlayStore would just open again with the login page.
Anyone any idea how to fix it? Here is a logfile of me trying to log in.
UPDATE: Just did a TWRP restore. Did not help! Going to ask Google meanwhile since it might not be a problem with my device...at least if I can find out where to do so.
PS: just looked into my account settings, it seems to recognize that I log in to my device, but that's it. Disconnectiong the device from there and trying again also doesn't work.
Hi all,
I just tryed to add a company account to my phone. During this process I was asked to add a new Administrator. Just after confirm, the phone unmonted the SD card and wanted to encrypt the phone. How to reverse?
The phone is still not encrypted and I don't want the encryption. But I cannot mount my SD card without encryption and I cannot change any security setting (only password is available as lock screen - till now I have a PIN). And, I cannot clear the certificate memory (Clear credentials is grayed).
I removed the exchange account, but this does not help.
I'm using a stock GT-I9506 with 5.0.1
Thanks for any help.
solved
I fount the solution. After selecting password as lock screen I started the encryption. During the last confirmation I aborted. After that all was like before.
