My new P9000 seemed to be working fine until I put in the SIM card, at which point I got this "Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock".
This is an indication that it's network locked, right?
What do I need to do to be able to use this phone? I'm a complete noob when it comes to flashing phones, ROMs, etc. Are there any fairly basic step by step instructions I can follow?
It seems you set up anti theft without your sim in it. Just enter your anti theft password or flash rom, deleting all data

Hey, thanks for the reply. I flashed the ROM, that didn't work.
The device arrived set up this way. Although the box was also open, so who knows what else they'd done.
You can also try 000000 as code.
Privacy protect code is a minimum of 6 digits

Thank you
Hello, THANK YOU.
I created this account just to thank you for the #mima#.
I could have wasted a lot of time reinstalling the Android, but instead I wrote #mima# from my brothers device and received the anti-theft PIN on his device.
:good::good::good:
Thanks a lot!!!!
For no reason my wife's phone suddenly lock and asked for the Privacy Protection pin. Thank you so much for posting the solution. You saved a tone of time and made my wife happy again. The phone is unlocked.

I hope I don't sound like a prick, but uninstall the programs in that list and I am sure you won't have it. Why would you want to delete your list of installed apps? Also, try AppBrain and FastWebInstall (?, same company) if you haven't. You can make as many lists as you please and delete them with just as much grace. It's pretty much another way of using Play without completely doing so. It's also great because Google's backup and restore isn't perfect.
Perhaps I misunderstood the problem.

This is not only the list of currently installed apps this is the whole device history of installed apps many of them i deleted months ago.

This list depends on with which gmail ID you are logged in. If you login with a different gmail ID, the list will change according to which app you have downloaded using that ID.
So if you wanna hide/delete the list, you need to login with another ID!

Even if you uninstall the programs, the apps will still be in that list since it's a list of your entire account history of installed apps (instead of saying "installed", it will give you the option to install them).

Sentiment seems to be that we can't as exemplified by the following quote:

There is a very real bug that is happening to our phones that is completely and totally random and will hit you with no warning. It is called the Encryption Error Bug and will render your /data partition as useless. Meaning that you will no longer have access to your internal_SD card or any of it contents.
I am making this thread as a warning to all who are either running or thinking about running an ICS ROM. Post here if you like or not (there are already multiple threads about the work arounds and questions, but in almost every one of them, there is a post that say, "I've never heard of this" or "I don't know what happened, but I got this bug".
If your files on your internal_SD are important to you (i.e pictures of your new born baby or a saved voicemail from your long lost grandmother, MAKE A COPY OF YOUR INTERNAL and save it to your PC.

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
**If after you get on and are rocking the ICS of your dreams, you wake up one day and get the Encryption Unsuccessful - Reset Android - ICS Issue, see bottom of post for possible solution**
DO NOT HIT RESET repeat DO NOT HIT RESET
It is a bug that is hitting all ICS ROMS (AOSP-Passion, AOKP-Zen/Euphoria, Docmasters, CM9,...) on many different types of phones (Captivate, Vibrant, I-9000) and someone got hit with it in my OG Transformer Tablet (TF101) forums too.
You have been warned.

I've read this before but it has recently resurfaced and I feel it should be in this thread, if only as a reference post.
Notes on the implementation of encryption in Android 3.0
This was the path I was heading down before unwashed sidetracked with yet another valid theory. I'm on my tablet now but I'll post more extensively tomorrow or the next if I can.
Thanks. I've used passion, euphoria and now slim and have yet to cross this problem *crosses fingers*

From google'ing the ELM Agent on the internet I haven't been able to find something specific within a short period of time, but I have found references to mail servers.
So I would think this is your answer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44716164&postcount=7
It has to do with the activation agreement of some enterprise service email account you add to the phone. Then logging of that email account's actions. Haha thats a rough guess based on just looking through the apps intents etc.
Stumbled upon this thread during my search to find out what ELM Agent is.
Found this - ELM Agent - Emulated Legacy Mount for multi-user support
And yes, I know this thread is old.
would it be ok to freeze/delete?
I did and I don't see any side affects.

Elm Agent ,tracker, collects all your data , mail, GPS,msg, phone calls, voice mails,etc.
Someone put it there , does your phone get hot, battery drain faster, 5 to 10 second delay or locking up when you make calls, light up by itself?
Elephone P9000. The bane of my... week. Sitting there, smiling at me with its beautiful screen, totally unusable.

The PIN from my SIM card, doesn't work. Also 1234, 0000, 8888, 123456, 000000, none work.
I removed SIM card and reboot. Still get the lock screen to enter PIN and error message "Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock".
Edit: wrong forum - sorry! Mods can you move it to the P9000 Q&A forum?
I managed to eventually get to the stage where I could flash it with a new ROM, so I've just done that (very pleased)...
... and still see the network lock when I start it up.
So where to next in the unlock saga?
I've tried the local phone repair shop, had no clue
I've tried flashing a different ROM, has no effect on network lock.
Vodafone, my carrier, seems to only unlock phones they've sold.
The dodgy online unlock sites don't even list Elephone as a manufacturer
Elephone themselves don't like to answer support questions.
The seller is unresponsive.
I've no idea what network it's locked to.
I don't know what to try next. Can this phone be forcibly network-unlocked somehow?
It looks like you set up anti gheft with another sim or without it. Just enter your anti theft password or flash rom and delete all data

Hi,
the fingerprint reader can be used to unlock the phone. Wen it is unlocked and I press the fingerprint reader again it locks the phone. Some apps make use of the fingerprint reader e.g. Applocker. With Applocker it works as expected. I can unlock apps with the fingerprint reader. I also use KeePass. With my LG G5 it was possible to unlock the database with the fingerprint reader ad KeePass supports this. With the Moto Z it just gets turned off when I try to unlock a database. Here are my questions:
- Can I turn off the "turn off" feature of the fingerprint reader?
- What do I have to tell the KeePass app dev to make this work as expected on the Moto Z?
TIA
@frantek you can turn it off from:
Settings - Security - press cog button next to Screen lock - toggle Fingerprint sensor can lock phone
Enjoy

Yesterday I received Android 7 and disabling "Fingerprint sensor can lock phone" with as @PiousInquisitor suggested has no effect on KeePass. I think I've to talk to the KeePass dev.

There are several KeePass apps in the Play Store. Which one are you using?
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
Oh sorry, you are right: KeePass2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android
I solved this. The problem was that Keepass2 was restored by Helium. This confused the app. After disabeling and re enabling the unlock by fingerprint every thing works as expected.
