Hello,
First of all, thank you to your community for proposing more and more choices for our devices.
I just acquired a Lenovo vibe k5 + on which I installed the official buying nightly of LinageOS without any problem thanks to your numerous tutorials.
Afterwards I encrypted the whole of my phone (already having a password to unlock the screen and which must ultimately be the same) via the QWERTY keyboard, the operation is done well and my Phone reboots.
At restart, it asks me the password that I entered for the encryption in order to launch Android but with a keyboard in QWERTY! I am afraid, but I enter the password on this keyboard and without any problem it starts Android (I speak well of the first reboot following the encryption)
However, I had to restart my phone a few hours later, and he asks me for the password to launch Android (normal), still in QWERTY, except that this time the password is no longer accepted ??!
Is there a different "coding" between all these keyboards?
And especially, can I reinstall my backup from the: Android system Recovery Basic (not the TWRP) ??
Thanks in advance for your lighting.
PS: Sorry for my english it's google translate.

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,

Hi everyone,
i am using an itel it1406 which i rooted with king root. About a week ago i factory rested it with the root still on after that i encrypted it (android 4.4.2). After encryption (which was kinda long so fell asleep in the process) a screen came up with the msg : Type password to decrypt storage. The thing is i know the password after all i willingly encrypted the device but when i tap on where i'm suposed to input the password the keyborad doesn't show. I restarted it still the same problem. I tried to to hard rest it but the decrypt screen still came. I Then took it to a carlcare center and after 4 days, they are telling me to buy a board. Pls help cos i dnt noe how to fix this minor but very important issue.
Thks in advance
Background :- My friend had an accident, after which he doesn't remember most stuff: including passwords to his email and his android pin. The doctor told us that it might help him with his recovery if he can see some old photos etc. So basically my plan is to unlock phone (Its a vibe k5 note) -> Then hope he has 2 factor authentication enabled on his phone, which would help me with resetting his google password etc.
Either ways, before doing that, I'm stuck with the resetting pin part for the phone.
I've tried using the dr.fone application to reset the pin, but it says that the the phone (k5 vibe note) is not supported. Friend hasn't set USB debugging on. If I go into recovery I get the lenovo recovery tool, which at best has the update from the update file option.
So, what do you think are my options here?
PS: I understand background sounds like some corny movie plot. But it isn't.
Hi,
So here's my problem. (Sorry, it's a long story)
I purchased a phone from a french company ("Archos") three months ago. The Android phone was working fine until lately when I've been getting random freezes. When I would scroll on an app (Twitter's Feed, Reddit Homepage), the phone would freeze. The only way to solve this problem was by rebooting entirely the phone. Sometimes, the phone would also freeze at random moments (on the Lock Screen, the Homepage, etc...) with the only issue being to restart the phone.
I tried to factory reset the phone but it kept on freezing, even freezing on the first page of the Android Setup Wizard (The one with the "Welcome" label and the "Get Started" button) preventing me from touching the "Get Started" button. After multiple reboots and factory resets the phone was still freezing randomnly.
One thing to know is that the phone was apparently running Cyanogenmod since it's primary launcher was Trebuchet. So, I tried to install a stock copy of Android Nougat (7.0) hoping it would fix the problem. The thing is, there's no TWRP image available for my device (Archos Sense 55S). Instead, I used an tool name "SP Flash Tool" to flash directly a copy of Android onto my phone (I managed to find one online).
But the problem did not get solved. Now, it's worse. Before, even though the phone kept on freezing on the first page of the Android Setup Wizard, 1/12 of the time, it would let me touch the "Get Started" button and proceed with the rest. Now, it won't let me touch the button at all, it seems like the application is not receiving any input at all. I know the screen isn't broken because the "Enter SIM Card password" prompt works perfectly fine and when I want to turn off the phone, I can easily select "Power Off", "Reboot", confirms "OK" on the "The Phone will restart" dialog box, adjust the volume levels, the screens responds! But on the Android Setup Wizard: nothing's happening.
I am desperate. It feels like I have tried everything. I cannot install anything else (through ADB & Fastboot) since I can't unlock the bootloader because I can't allow OEM and/or USB debugging (I can't access the settings without completing the Android Setup Wizard). My question is there a way to install a custom rom with SP Flash tool? If so, is it recommend? Won't that brick the phone? Or is it too late now, and it's over?
Thank you for your time.
