Galaxy Note 3 - Restarts when trying to Encrypt

Hi,
I did a bunch of search strings on here and Google to try and find a solution to my problem to no avail. I really hope you guys can help.
My device: Galaxy Note 3 - N900W8 - Rooted and Unlocked (RegionLock Away 1.3)
My Problem:
I'm trying to connect the device to my works account via Exchange ActiveSync. My company forces encryption on the device as part of the setup processes. When I try to Encrypt the device (Fast Encrypt or not) it shows the Encryption Android dude (Green) as if it's going to start and then the phone just turns off and reboots.
Any ideas what the issue could be? Is it possible that because the phone is rooted, the security settings that my works places on it doesn't like it?
Thanks.

Hi, I was experiencing the same thing, I was playing with the encryption and now my lock screen pattern and pin is not an option anymore and I have to use the encryption password, when my device is not even encrypted! I cannot decrypt because every time I go into the Encrypt device option, It goes back to rebooting just like you mention. Anybody can help?
Thanks,
T2

Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850F - Official Android 5.0.2 - Flight Mode Problem !!!

Hello everyone,
I'm new here and I need your help about an issue that I'm facing at the moment.
I got a Samsung Galaxy Alpha G850F that it is in 100% official state. I haven't touched its rom, bootloader, kernel, root access or anything. It is completely stock.
A few days ago I received the OTA Update for Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I downloaded it and installed it. Then I did a hard reset and started to reinstall my apps and stuff from zero. But I noticed an issue.
I did this. I enabled flight mode and turned off the phone completely. Then, on the next startup if you turn flight mode off it will NOT ask for SIM PIN (while it should) , it will find signal but it will be unregistered to the mobile network! So you can turn flight mode off but the phone will be in "Emergency Calls Only" state and you will not be able to make phone calls, use mobile internet or anything. The only way to fix this is restart the phone BUT with flight mode disabled.
I never had this issue with the previous KitKat firmware (I could do this easily with KitKat, when I turned the phone on and disabled flight mode it would ask me for SIM PIN and then it would be ok). So it seems like you can't start the phone on flight mode anymore. Flight mode works good in general, u can turn it on and off while the phone is on BUT if you enable flight mode and then power it off then you will have no network on next power on.
Anyone else with stock Galaxy Alpha and official 5.0.2 experiencing this ??
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
SOLVED!
So problem got solved by itself! I tried to do this today and it worked fine as it should. I haven't changed anything. I don't have a clue what caused it. Maybe it was network related?
Thanks anyway!
Please help me, I have a galaxy alpha g850f fingerprint sensor does not work Is there a solution to this problem

Can't Enable Wifi

Hi
I own an AT&T Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) running Lollipop 5.0.1 (OK2). I have a stock ROM and kernel, and I'm rooted using SuperSU. I THINK I've triggered Knox, as my boot screen says Samsung Custom.
The gist of the problem is, when I turn on WiFi, or rather attempt anyway, it attempts to turn on but after about 30 seconds it just turns off, rendering me unable to use the internet since I don't have service. This started happening when I tried to spoof my MAC address using Change My Mac. At first the MAC just would revert to it's original state every time I tried to spoof it, but the last time I did it, the app crashed and WiFi just wouldn't turn on anymore. I have mediocre knowledge on how android works, but I have a feeling this has something to do with my EFS partition.
Please help me, and thanks to those who do.
Finally please DO NOT post just saying you have the same problem as I do.
try to reflash this rom if you have it this will 100% fix our proplem
your proplem is you tried to change your mac address as i think
so the wifi will not run atleast get back your stock mac address

Mi pad 4 4/64 wifi connection problem

hello to all mi pad 4 users, today i want to ask about whether i can fix my mi pad's wifi problem or not. currently, whenever I try to connect to wifi on stock rom, it saids 'connecting.." and nothing happens. Also when I flash AOSP roms, i cannot turn on the wifi. Through some research, I was able to find that corrupted EFS might be the cause of wifi failure, because my mac address had changed into 02:00:00:00. I searched high and low but none of the guides where made for wifi only devices. So I was wondering if some could give me the way to fix or recover EFS(?)
Go to the link below and try the 2nd option, if that doesn't work do the first. This did it for me.

Unlocking phone without losing data

Hello to all,
i have an xperia z3 compact and i left it out of use for a while due to broken screen, i finally changed the screen but realised that i have forgotten the lock pattern.
Any way to unlock it without losing my data in the internal memory?
If it helps and if i remember correctly,
1) i had usb debugging and developer options enabled
2) i haven't rooted it (for sure).
3) phone has kept the credentials for my wifi, gmail, etc, so it's connected when i turn it on (and of course i have those credentials).
4) it probably has android 6 (marshmallow) installed.
5) i tried with "find my device" from google, and while it sees my phone, it says "Find My Device is turned off" so the option for locking it anew is greyed out and i can't access it, so this method doesn't work.
Any ideas? is it possible to bypass the pattern and get inside to get my stuff and apps?
thank you to anyone reading this and wanting to help me out.
I don't think that's quite possible. The few ways to bypass the lock have pretty much disappeared with recent Android versions.
Best of luck!
thank you, i'm so frustrated. At first i wanted to save my data and bypass the pattern, now i just want to be able to use my phone again even if i lose the data and i can't even do that!
There is no hard reset for this model!
I just can't believe that there isn't any way possible to get back your phone if you forgot your pattern!
no way to have recovery or TWRP in a locked phone with usb debugging on?
no way to push adb commands?
There should be something for situations like that
