Hey,
I just decided to encrypt my Lineage 14.1 bacon (Onepluse One). During the process, I was asked to enter my lock screen pattern. Then the encryption started.
After finishing the encryption, I suddenly get the request to "enter your PIN" to unlock the device. Actually, I didn't enter any PIN? I just have my lock screen pattern.
Of course I made a full backup before encryption. So any ideas how to recover? TWRP is also locked. Any idea is welcome.
And obviously, I feel so stupid at the moment... :crying:
Thanks a lot

I was trying to bypass pattern unlock screen (successfully done) on my phone (huawei g525), BUT KNOW my Friend's phone (huawei g510) came with a "so many wrong PATTERN attempted" and asking for Gmail to unlock the phone.
now here is the problem:
I have reseted the pattern (successfully)
There is no Gmail details
The phone is locked with "Too Many Pattern Attempts"
so I can unlock the device with any pattern I like!
its can be done when remember forgotten pattern.

Hello Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
Well, I have a ZE554KL, with OREO 8.1 installed.
The phone is boot loader unlocked.
I use the fingerprint + pattern lock.
I know it is my fault, but I got the phone running for 2 months w/o rebooting, so all of suden, today the phone locks itself and ask for the pattern lock for "additional security". Well, after 2 months not using the pattern, just the fingerprint, I ended up forgetting it.
Now I am stuck. I cannot reset the unlock method neither via the phone nor the google device page. Is there anyway to remove the pattern lock or switch back to the fingerprint, without the need of wiping my data?
All the best.
I updated to android 9.0, my pocophone is now asking for a pattern rather than a password on startup. I set a pin/password when I bought the pocophone and have used the pin/password everytime the pocophone has booted and I don't remember ever entering a pattern, any advice for what to do?

thanks for the advice but it doesn't seem clear what you are supposed to do if your password has a 0 in it
Have the same issue. After drawing any pin, it says "The pin is correct, but the data is corrupted" and offers to do factory reset. The data is obviously corrupted, since there was never a pin. Any ideas how to solve this?
Hi there..
I'm trying ti understand device encryption before i install a custom ROM on my poco. (Any links explaining how encryption works on android would be greatly appreciated)
My first question is whether the pocophone encryption is turned on by default.
Under the encryption settings, the "encrypt device using lock screen password" slider is set to off.
However, every time I reboot the phone, i am forced to enter the lock screen password as fingerprint and facial recognition do not work. I assumed that this is because encryption had been enabled on my phone by default. But then why is the slider set to off?

The option that you are talking about under encryption settings, is the same as "Android secure start up" on AOSP. If you enable this option, you need to enter your device password while you restart the phone. Or else your device won't even boot up (and you won't see the lockscreen) completely and you will be stuck. It's an extra layer of security on top of lockscreen password/pattern/pin. Now coming to your second question, it's a security feature on android where no other unlock methods will work except PIN/Password/Pattern after you restart the device everytime. And it has nothing to do with encryption or decryption. Even if you decrypt the ROM, you will still have to enter your password or pin or pattern on every reboot. Only then all other unlock methods will start working. Some ROMs have a feature where you can bypass this security and unlock the device straight away on every reboot without entering the default pin or password/pattern. But they also put a disclaimer that it's not safe.
Thanks for the info.. But one of the questions "Is the Pocophone F1" encrypted by default?" is not yet answered. I am very interested to know. And (while I am asking) if not, "How can I do encrypt it"?
Yes, it is encrypted by default.
Is there any alternative available for screen unlocking if we forgot pin or pattern without losing your data. Similar type of ROM that can give option like forgot password, pin so we can recover the data.
