cant add pin cause settings keep crashing - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone,
If I try to add a pin on my s6 edge (i version) on nougat 7.0, settings do crash, I can retry 1000 times and happens the same.
I have tried
Downloaded and flashed 2 diff roms from different telcos
Factory Reset from the phone menu
Factory Reset from recovery menu
Wiped cache partition
Tested sensors and they're working ok
They do even crash when the phone is on the welcome wizard, it's very annoying because I can't lock my phone.
Thanks for any help

S2 stuck in call mode

I've searched around the forums and so far, most of the results were people having trouble with their phone getting stuck in recovery/boot/download mode.
My phone, however, is stuck in the call mode where the keypad takes up most of the screen. Everything else is working fine with the phone, as I can see unread text messages and other programs that running and notifying me of updates in the background. Wifi and data work fine as well.
The problem is, I can't get out of the call keypad mode and into my home screen with all my apps. I've tried restarting, turning it on/off, taking out the battery, and charging it via USB to the computer. Nothing is working! Please help :crying:
Clear data on phone & if that doesn't work maybe try a factory reset ?
Do the following steps below:
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- fix permissions (under advanced)
- reboot system now
This issue sounds familiar......like a launcher problem. I have 3 fixes:
Clear data of your launcher
or download another launcher, by trying to get to your play store app by universal search or from the playstore on the pc
if strangely none of the above works, flash another rom or reflash your rom if you like it that much
Note that this message should have been the 1st, cause if im right the two solutions you recieved above should work. The problem is if your running stock ics 4.0.4, you may end up with the emmc brick bug if you use recovery or do a factory reset. We dont know what your using since you never told us.

Encrypted device storage after flashing stock using ODIN

Hi there,
I flashed my S2 with stock ROM using ODIN (coming from a custom rom) and I was stuck in a boot loop for quite some time until I flashed a pit file along as well.
Now the problem arises when my S2 has successfully booted. I was greeted by the "Enter password to use encrypted device storage" screen instead of the normal welcome to android screen. I tried all the passwords I've ever used and they did not seem to work unfortunately. I think I have tried connecting my device to VPN and Exchange long long time ago but I've used the password used for those and that doesn't work.
I tried flashing with two versions of JB stock - UK & TH and I am getting the same result.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Go to setting's and wipe credentials storage this may work without data loss. if that doesn't work factory reset.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't access the S2's settings. I can't do anything else apart from entering the password. I cannot access the homepage and etc. I've flashed my device a number of times with stock roms (so that's factory reset).
OK let me search. I see long ago now how to solve this.
I can't find the thread but I'm sure you need to go back to either GB or ICS and factory reset there. I have read about enter the password wrong 15 times and it will reset but that is firmware dependent and I can see what one.
I will keep looking but try GB factory reset.

NFC causing settings to force stop S6E?

I have recently updated to MM 6.0.1 which I flashed through odin and since then every time I try to go on NFC settings it crashes my settings and goes back to home screen.
I got G925F. Any help would be grateful before I factory reset. Thanks.

[Q] Encryption unsuccessful on LG G3 D855 Stock Android 6 Marshmallow

Hi!
I got some major problems with my G3. I was on stock Android 6 (rooted). Worked fine for some months. Then I decided to encrypt the phone and activated this option in the normal android settings. After some time the phone restarted and I got the "Encryption unsucccessful" page and cannot do anything anymore.
After reading through the help forums I tried the following steps to solve it:
- factory reset
- wipe eveything in twrp and flashed system, boot, modem manually to Android 6 again
- repaired all filesystem partitions in twrp
- many many more factory resets
All didn't help. The only thing that changed is that when coming to the "Encryption unsucccessful" page now the phone hangs up after the next option I choose (shut down or restart or factory reset) so I have to take out the battery to restart or shut down.
Any suggestions how to solve it and maybe also any suggestions what might have gone wrong? Don't want to kill the next phone the same way by just enabling encryption!?

Galaxy s7 edge FRP Issues

So I just got a used s7 Edge and decided to root it (using Odin). After about 30 mins I noticed a Security alert that needed me to restart my phone. After restarting FRP was enabled to where I couldn't boot up. Normally I would just reinstall my stock rom, but this time it wont work because I had disabled USB Debugging after I rooted. Now I cant install a new rom, I tried booting to recovery and deleting the cache as well as factory resetting but that did nothing. Does anyone have any fixes for this? Btw this is a Canadian s7 edge so its model number is G935W8.
