Fingerprint option missing on Security - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm sure I did something wrong on the Fastboot Menu (Power + volume down). This worked some days ago.
And now there is no Fingerprint option on the Security menu.
What option do I have to choose on the Fastboot Menu to bring it back?
Thanks,

It was a hardware problem.
Motorola fixed it in 3 days. (Flatcable or something like that).

so i have pin setup to enable fingerprint security. my phone asks for pin on each boot up. everything was workin fine when i ota to NCL25.86-11-4-6. after i ota to latest NCL25.86-11-4-8, i entered my pin and i kept getting a message that pin entered is incorrect ???? did the ota update reset my pin to default pin code ? anyone know the default pin code is ?

i didnt even get that far yet with my phone, lol. i have non-rooted stock phone. i was on 6.0 and phone was workin fine except one issue. other party always have issues hearing me on a regular phone call regardless what my signal strength. if i uses bluetooth headset to talk, then calls are clear. i been puttin off the ota update for a while and i just figured i would give ota a try. updated to 7.0 and did all the update to the latest and bam. im locked out of my phone. i thought screen lock pin was suppose to be a backup in case the fingerprint dont work. so now my fingerprint works but phone needs pin to enable fingerprint, wtf, lol
so i have to root my phone and install twrp ?
edit. i pulled out tmobile sim, put in verizon sim, then pulled out verizon and put tmobile sim back in and tried old pin again and it worked!!! wtf, LOL

[Q] [Help/ideas?]E10a always sim-locks from 2.1.1.A.0.6 onwards

Well that's the situiation, it sim-locks even though i have my phone with the sim from the carrier i bought it, i'd like to know if it is just me or other people with e10a are experiencing the same problem?:s
And also since this happened i noticed that in previous version of e10a firmware there was no sim-lock enforcement like this one, just hardware, even though i flashed firmwares from other countries and even e10i; and this new sim-lock it's not the firmware, because i installed cyanogenmod and it still gave me the sim-lock
Anyways what i'm trying to say is, and it might be a wild guess, but the sim-lock is enforced by kernel from 2.1.1.A.0.6 onwards, maybe not entierly but in a way that the kernel or one of the other files that are flashed (excep system, ruled it out by trial and error) has the region code or the carrier number or whatever it is that tells the device that the sim is not from the carrier it's lock down to, so with that maybe we could locate that code and modify it to our actual carrier number or maybe an unlocked mode, kind of like how the galaxy S unlock works
Same problem here. I have searched and still have not found a solution. And I am weary of paying $40 to unlock my cell phone to use it with its original carrier and sim card after paying full price for the phone and my carrier has no idea about how to get me an unlock code. Oh well, back to 2.1.
I have the same 'problem', but...
Have you tried pressing the 'dismiss'-button?
That does the trick for me.
If I select dismiss, I will be able to access all the features, but not the phone functions. I just reverted to 2.1 (2.0.A.0.504) and everything works the way it should.

it sometimes happens to me and the dismiss button give me all the features the phone can provide, and all that the sim can give me : phone call, web, sms, mms and everything else.
the phone works perfectly after dismiss button pressed here.
and please, here was not the right place to start this thread
For many people like me after i press the dismiss button i cannot get acces to any of the sim services i.e. calls, mms , sms, but i didn't mean this post to be so much of complaining, but more for trying to find ways to unlock the phone given the peculiarity of this "sim-lock" that must mean that in the newer firmware it is enforced through software, try to find a solution kind of like rotohammers sim unlock method, maybe some devs can share some light in the equivalent of the samsung galaxy s/tab /efs folder

ok ... I didn't know that ...
did you try turn on/off flight mod to see if this change anything?
yep i checked if flight mode was turned on, on and off doesn't get signal.
But anyways i found something interesting, in root explorer on the root of the phone memory there is a "vendor" file, that i can't copy and when i delete it and reboot my phone first time couldn't find my sim, a couple times later it found my sim and didn't throw the please enter network unlock thing but could not conect to the network, and later it showed again the network unlock screen, and the file was once again where i deleted it, and i dont remember seeing that "vendor" file in previous firmwares i.e: 2.0.A.0.504.
someone correct me if i'm wrong, anyways i upload a screenshot of the file

Network Unlock Control Key

Looking for some help or suggestion as this problem came up out of no where.
using XWLPM Unbranded, Unlock Version. phone working with TELUS Canadian carrier. out of no where, all the sudden im getting the prompt of Enter Network Unlock Control Key. not getting any signal with the SIM card.
My SIM do not believe is locked and nor is the firmware. anyone have the same problem or know what the heck is going on as im running a unlock 4.0.4 XWLPM version and not sure how to get rid of that.
Thanks:crying:

since ver 4.0.4 has some issues, would suggest u to rewert back to stock 4.0.3 and then see if the issue persists, if its not there then stay with v4.0.3 untill a stable v4.0.4 is released
ps- do not make any wipes in recovery, or backup ur phone with the same with v4.0.4 since the same can potentially brick ur phone
SIM is not dead. turn out to be a phone issue. not resolved yet but find it very strange how it can go from non-lock to locked with network control key prompt.
used GSII repair from the market, it resolved the issue but now the phone is unable to turn on any security pattern prompt for instance, and it has a weird box logo right on the home screen.
anyone had this problem before?
Yes I've suddenly had this issue, but found the app 'Galaxy_S Unlock' on the market which quickly resolved my phone being locked.
But the problem persists as it randomly locks itself again, and I have to use this app again, bit of a pain as this is a work phone, but luckily it still unlocks with this app.
Looking for a permanent solution, anyone have any ideas what the real issue is here, and yes I'm using v4.o4 firmware on my phone.
My SII just got the OTA update to 4.04 this morning and is now doing the same thing, my carrier is pretty indifferent as its unlocked so I'm trying to get help out of Samsung. Mostly adding my 2c to give the topic a bump
Same trouble here after a flash to Resurrection v3.0.5, prompt of Enter Network Unlock Control Key.
Tried the unlock apps from the market and no go, tried flashing a few other Roms, restored a few nandroid backups, factory resets and still nothing. Put the SIM into my backup phone to test and no problems with that.
Strange when accessing the menu at *#7465625# the network locks were listed as off.
What did work for me was to flash back to the original stock Rom that came with the phone (KG2 Bell). After the reboot there was still no signal so I entered stock recovery and did a factory reset, cleared cache partition/dalvik cache, fix permisions and reboot.
After that all has been working good and was able to flash back to my nandroid backup.
I just packed it off to Samsung, they didn't admit fault but the phone is out of warranty but they are fixing it free of charge. Smells like victory..

Installed cm13 - cannot register phone on network.

Its been a long slog but ive got the os - I thought id open a new thread. I cant seem to register on the phone network. Its not the sim as ive tried another on (another provider) and that's the same and its also been a problem across all (even the stock images) that ive tried. Ive read on another thread is there a folder that I could have formatted which holds network or radio information....?
Just a thought....
Cheers.
ok - I believe its something to do with me imei number being forgotten....found a tool called the ARIZA patch but for some reason my cm13 build isn't rooted. Ive installed superuser but I still don't get root access (needed for ARIZA to work) I assumed the cm13 build would already be rooted....and idea's - I'm probably missing something...
Edit: just found the root slider - ariza patch doesn't work though - error is "phone not proper"

You could try this guide
Yep - looks like that's what happened - my imei number currently is that....well, at least I know now how to get it to a custom rom so ill have to reflash back to stock first - thanks for the link, that's a great help....ill report back in a bit...thanks again.
Nope - no luck so far....but that's definitely the problem.....lost the imei....ive never had the issue before - ive flashed mine loads of times (Note 3) and never had a problem so I never thought to back it up....if anyone has any other option I can try that'd be great....
Cheers
Ive followed the walkthrough but its not 100% clear - I might run through it a few times....
Supersu does not work on CM13, yet.
You need to turn on developer options in settings.
Well, all the stuff ive tried so far hasn't worked....I think id be looking at a manual entry (the imei is under the phone) so will try to find something along those lines....
I did try going back to a stock rom but seemed fruitless. ive gone back to cm13 as it seems the system is more open (obviously). It looks like the imei changer programs will work if xposed framework is installed....which I'm currently trying to work out how to do....easier said than done...
I think I'm done - I cant see any way of getting the imei back on there....think the phone has had it....my first loss...the xposed framework does not support the s2's architecture (that I can see)

I had a similar problem when I switched from ICS to JB, tree years ago. My phone would not register on any network no matter the SIM I put in (I tried 3 different operators). The only way I could solve it was with an apk called "Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock" - I had to work with that a little but after a little headache I could solve the problem. Since then, everything is ok - I can register on any network. My personal lesson from that experience is: "Never do a Factory Reset when upgrading Android (eg. ICS to JB, JB to KK, KK to LP and so on)." But that's only my experience. Now I'm on MM 6.0.1 (Cyanogen 13).
Ok- ill go take a look now....thanks for the link - I was hoping that someone could offer (something like this) so ive got another way of tackling it...cheers.
Edit - just gone looking and I cant see an app with the exact description....do you have the authors name (to narrow it down a little??)
Just to add this phone wasn't actually sim locked in the first place...are you saying that the side affect of using the sim unlocking software will insert the imei back in??

I bought my phone unlocked in 2011 - brand new, official release, so on.
I rooted it right away and started experimenting, installed tons of unofficial/official ROMs, playing with kernels, tweaking and everything, upgrading as soon as a new unofficial version would show up, from Stock Android 2.3.3 to... to X ... to Y... up to MM 6.0.1 (CM13) now.
I had few bricks over the time but I solved them in few hours to two days. But this problem with network registering was the longest of all and the scariest - it happened as I described it in the previous post. My understanding on that time (as I remember) was that the Factory Reset wiped my EFS.
That (Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock) apk gave me few codes I could use. Below is a note I made on those days (pretty confusing for me now, but it might help you):
-- Introducing "SIM network unlock PIN" didn't help me. I restart the phone and when it asked me the "SIM network unlock PIN", I introduced first the "Unfreeze code" but the network didn't unblock and then I introduced "SIM network unlock PIN" and the network unblocked."
As I searched now on Google Play I could not find "Galaxy S2 Sim Unlock" anymore. There is something called "GalaxSim Unlock" (by Spocky) - updated on december 2015, with support for Android 6.0.
Strange as mine I believe is the same as yours....unlocked generic phone. Ive not had any messages atall regarding "sim unlock" - my issue is theres a dummy imei in there - that's it although ill go and look now....any more information you have would be great...
Its the little things that help sometimes....I couldn't get the partitioning done atall then petrolcan mentioned a user and his script...then from that little bit of info I had a flashable zip that did everything for me...so everything helps.
I'm just not sure on the correlation between the sim unlock software and the imei missing....

Again, I'm not a specialist, but If I remember right, the EFS has to do with the IMEI, and on that time I have lost my EFS, and, I guess, my IMEI....
My S2 was usable (apks, games, wifi...) but not as a phone (for calling and receiving calls & SMS).
Or, you may want to try finding some ways of restoring EFS/IMEI....
yes, the efs folder holds the file which the imei is in (a bin file) but from what I read if you remove the efs folder completely the os will generate a new one....once you've got a new file then effectively you "should" be able to inject the imei into that thus renabling your phone (and therein lies the problem - getting the imeil back in) - yes, mines the same....everything works bar the phone access to the network...

Just guessing: Maybe "GalaxySim Unlock" injects the IMEI??? Check the description on Google Play:
"Detects errors like lost imei / serial in nv_data caused by third party apps"
You can give it a try with the free version - see what it founds on your phone.
I did try it....just gave me an nv_data error....nothing more than that...

I'll check about that tomorrow as I found few threads on XDA and I have to go now.... Hopefully you'll be "up and running" by the time I come back!
Heh - I hope so but I doubt it - spent about 5 hours Friday night, a good 12 yesterday and 12 the day before....any information you have would be great! thanks very much.
After looking around I think my best bet is the NV-items reader writer v1.0. but, I cant get it connected to the phone.....anyone got any clues on that one?? once connected it looks like you can edit the nv file and add the imei back in....

I'd try doing a fresh install of one of the combination firmware builds. Those tend to fix issues like this. And then flash a stock rom after the Combination Firmware finishes booting up for the first time. This being my suggestion for the highest chance of success.
If that does not work for some reason. I'd like to know what happened. The second option then would be to root the device and use flashfire to restore a backup of your EFS partition if you have one, or flash the correct modem that corresponds to the installed build you have that reads as SN=0000000
Hello to everyone here, I'm in a bit of a pinch here and dunno how can I get out. I need to factory reset an S6 Edge SM-G925F from my cousin (He forgot his pattern, no reactivation lock, no risk of FRP locking either), but the thing is that USB Debugging is disabled, and the volume rockers do not work at all (in fact, the phone boots directly to Safe Mode). I do have a jig for entering Download Mode (tried flashing TWRP with ODIN but no auto reboot to it, updated to Nougat Official to see if it triggered a factory reset to no avail). I wanna know if there is a piece of software I can use to reboot immediately to recovery. Thanks in advance!

If the phone is logged into his google or samsung account you can bypass the lockscreen with a PC. Just type in (on the PC) find your phone (for googles way) or find my mobile (samsungs way). Log in and select lock my device. Set a new password and it will be sent to the phone. Type the new password into the phone and your in

Freedompop on sprint note 3

OK so freedompop is an app that lets you call, text, and get data for free. They also include a sim card, but you need to make an account and order it. Add your credit card to make account, once you get it make sure to call them and tell them you want to be on the free service, i got some special that gave sim card plus unlimited call and text with 2gb for 5 dollars. Once you make an account go ahead and go to your sim port and remove sim(easly done by taking a small flat head at 20 degree angle to push sim out, the you can use your finger to push it down or get another small flat head and grab from both sides to pull out). It will say invalid sim.....now thanks to darksavior, this is what i did and the idoneapps gt
Rooted
Step
1. Open up odin, click options and select nand erase all if you want, then click ap and select the N900PVPUDNH7_N900PSPTDNH7_N900PVPUDNH7_HOME.tar. Connect your phone in odin mode(power down, hold volume down, home button, and power button, press up to accept and your in odin mode) then hit start untill your phone reboots
2. Mine gets stuck at the samsung logo so what you do is go to recovery mode(power down, hold volume up, home, power)get to factory reset and reboot. 5 mins later it should say setting up phone for first time, this may take 5 to 10 mins.
3. Congrats, your on stock rom. Invalid sim and attempting to activate phone should pop up, you click active and it will say failed and hit exit. Power back down to odin mode
4. Click ap again and choose the CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.tar file, it will restart and root, when the message appears 10 seconds to restart try to go into odin mode again and choose the twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img(this is the verision needed to install most roms nowadays) and install twrp. Go to recovery mode, wipe, advance wipe, select delvik cache and cache, then reboot to system. Power off phone again and go into odin mode last time, and click CP button and choose the modem.bin file and reboot to system.
5. put the GTv3.1.5.apk in root of your sd or phone so you can find it. So we need to go to settings, general, security, check mark unknown sources and discheck verify apps. go on apps, samsung, my files, all, choose where you put your file,and click on it, then hit install, open, grant root access, it should say Baseband: N900PVPUBMJ4 and Bootloader: N900PVPUDNH7
6. Click sim uicc unlock, success, and should show UNLOCKED. Click the off button on hiddenmenu and it should turn on, click the IOTHIDDENMENU button on bottom of screen, TestMode Menu, UE SETTINGS AND INFO, SETTINGS, PROTOCOL, GCF, GSM/(E)GPRS/WCDMA GCF ON, success, restart phone to see At&t at bottom
7. Settings, connections, more networks, mobile networks, network mode, Gsm/umts, automatic, then access point names, plus sign, name what ever you want, apn fp.com.attz (or what ever it says in envople your sim came in) the button on the left from home button, save, and click the circle so its green.
8. Turn on your wifi and go to playstore to download the freedompop messaging phone sim app, open it up, it should read your sim and sign you in. Turn off your wifi and you should see an H+ network. Thats it your on freedompop now
9. Since this is older firmware i looked and saw developers stopped making roms for this back in 2014, so your pretty much stuck on this firmware but its not so bad your rooted. So what i did was install System app remover (ROOT) from play store and removed the annoying samsung dms service to get rid of the activation screen and anything else i didnt want on the phone.
Bonus, my 3 year old orginal samsung battery went crazy and kinda got fat. So i ordered another orginal oem note 3 battery because ive tested batterys through AccuBattery app and found out batterys lie about their mAh size orginals dont. Anyways got the new battery, used the battery repair on it, and advanced battery calibrator app, (calabrate, ok, close ad, shut down, charge to 100%) so now my freedom pop working and brand new battery
and here is link to all files from google drive https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9MVYh1yVnznNzhQeWxtUTJhZnM?usp=sharing
Yes, it works. I sim unlocked my note 3 for domestic use without sprint's help. I did it two weeks ago. My phone now gets LTE gsm through freedompop's gsm sim. There's two threads in the general note 3 sprint section to read up on, but this might be the simpler one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/sprint-galaxy-note-3-international-t3339789
The tutorial needs to be re-written. The goal is to be on NH7 bootloader, 4.4 rom, and MJ4 modem. Galaxy tools will unlock the sim only on 4.4 and it only needs to be done once. I installed NH7 stock rom, rooted, then installed MJ4 modem. You won't be able to use sprint roms anymore after you're done altering stuff in the hidden menu. It will have trouble getting a gsm signal. I am on a note 7 ported rom from the main note 3 section. You can try any others if you want.
Here's the corrections from the tutorial thread:
Step 1: Do NOT install the cf-auto root recovery from that thread, since its meant for lollipop, and it won't work on kk.
Step 2: You only need GT 3.1.5 apk
Step 3: You only need MJ4
Step 4: You need to be on a 4.4 rom to do this.
Step 5: You can open the hidden menu with GT. No need to open the phone app and dial to get it.
If that doesn't work, I also installed the regionlock away app and changed some other settings of the hidden menu from the other sim unlock thread. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Ill try this. So from what i understand. Download stock NH7 rom from sammobile, root, install gt apk, flash the mj4 modem, and follow the directions on gt apk

Sounds right. Also install twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery so you can install a rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3
It has to be that version because newer versions have issues with roms that use aroma installers.

Are you on the MJ4 modem? I installed that after i unlocked my sim and the invalid sim msg went away. I rooted with kingoroot on pc. There might be alternate ways but that seemed to work.

Fp uses the att network. Make an apn with fp.com.attz then download the fp messaging app. It should give you a notification of your phone number. If the connection is unstable, use another rom.
ok i will try again, i did all those steps without the modom. I installed the modom last and was on at&t...then i installed rom and said invalid sim xD so ill try again the right way. it should no longer say invalid sim any more at all right? and i dont need to select the gsm network or lte cmda? just once it shows at&t at bottom make the apn?

Make sure you're on the correct bootloader and modem. It shouldn't say that anymore. As i said, you can also try the other tutorial that has a bit more stuff to edit in hidden menu. Use GT to access it.
You can try the regionlock away apk.
What darklord rom are you on? Darklord roms tend to be junk compared to the new note 7 ports.
Phronesis might work but I'm on a norma note 7 port, installed with tmobile option(not sure if that helps), and mobile networks I did not touch. It was set to auto (lte/3g/2g)
Ill try the tmobile option also, it doesnt have at&t option from install
So region lockaway didnt do anything, i try click unlock from gt and it asks for a code. I did the dial and domestic unlock but it also didnt do anything
Unless....i can only use 4.4 roms
I tried "FREEDOMPOP(CDMA sprint sim LTE)" on "MM 6.0.1 Darklord Modded V5 By JCordero31 N5N7 APPS 1/22/17" with MVNOBuzbee.zip
but it did not work. MVNOBuzbee.zip might need edited but i just decided to move on.
So then...is just this rom not working with or i need be on any 4.4 rom

You are not on the correct bootloader or modem. That's why it got locked again. Also, you can't unlock on a LP rom, so you''ll get that window for a code. So let me repeat myself:
You have to be on NH7 and MJ4 and a 4.4 rom to unlock sim. you HAVE to stay on NH7 and MJ4 FOREVER in order for the sim unlock to stick. You don't have to stay on the 4.4 rom. NEVER flash a stock rom again since it will flash its own bl and modem, in your case, PH1.
You undid all your work by flashing a stock rom...
Ok i can live with that. So as long as modem and bootloader stay same...i can unlock, then flash any 4.4 rom and not have ti redo all this?
