Hi everyone!
I've just been thinking of what would happen if someone stole my S3.
By just using a password on my lockscreen doesn't make me feel safe, since they can always reset the phone via download mode, or factory reset the phone in recovery mode.
Even if I used a third party app that can lock the phone, I can always get into recovery- and download mode to reset the phone, and all its settings.
I mean, how secure is that?
What would've been making me feel safer would've been to set a password on Download mode and Recovery mode.
Like this; you press all the required buttons to get into download mode and before getting in to download mode you'll have to type in a password, which I can set to whatever I want.
TL;DR Is there a way to set a password on download mode and recovery mode? Any app, or recovery that supports what I just mentioned?
Cheers,
Sebastian

I don't think what you're asking is possible... You can use avg to block your phone from its website which is more secure...
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED
no, it is not possible, and never will be. just encrypt your phone and the data will be secure
so I have a rooted xperia z2 D6053 and I forgot the lock pattern, I cant do a hard reset as when I reboot and press vol up or down nothing happens, usb debugging mode is not enabled so I cant run adb (it doesnt detect device), now if there is any solution of which avoids deleting all the data then it would be perfect, if not so be it... I need the phone, please save me and my phone...pleaaaasse

For people who don't like clicking the link, or watch the whole 8min video here the description from YouTube:
1. SAFE MODE
. - Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily remove all apps that maybe causing a conflict or a software problem.
. - First way to enter Safe mode, pres the power off button. From the Power off menu, tab and hold "Power off" option, until you see "Reboot to safe mode" menu.
. - Second way - turn off the phone. Turn it on and when you see the Xperia logo, press and hold the volume down button until the phone load Safe mode.
. - To get out of the safe mode, simply turn off and turn on the device.
2. HIDDEN TEST MENU
. - To enter into Test menu, open the Dealer app and enter this code: *#*#7378423#*#*
. - From here you can test Cameras, Microphones, Loudspeakers, Earpiece, Touchscreen, Display, GPS, Accelerometer, Proximity switch, Pressure sensor, Compass, Gyroscope, etc. Also you can find information for the Firmware, SIM lock status, Working bands, etc., and do a Factory reset (Reset customization).
3. HARD AND SOFT RESET
. - Soft reset - Because, for this models you can't remove the battery, Sony provide you physically reset button. You can use it, if your device freeze. This will not affect your data and settings.
. - If your device crashes, freezes or if you have a problem with the Android OS, you can perform a Hardware reset. This will delete all personal data and will set the device into factory settings.
4. DEVELOPER MENU
. - Developer Options have many features for app developer to test an app on their device from PC via ADB. From this menu you can activate USB Debugging mode. On more recent versions of Android, the developer options have been hidden.
. - To enable Developer options, go to Settings - About phone. Navigate to the bottom and you should see Build Number. Now tab it 7 times and ... "You are now a developer."
5. RETAIL DEMO MODE
. - In this mode the phone start demo video and do this every time it goes to sleep mode. Older version of Android have a bug, that allowed to change the screen lock if the phone has Lock screen. For the newer version you can't enter "Retail mode" if the phone is screen locked.
. - To enter and go out this mode, enter this code: *#*#73556673#*#*
Newbie needs help. Bought my 4 kids Boost Mobile LG Realms for Christmas to use as "IPads". I used towelroot to root and bypass activation. I know I had to cange a file name in the process. I can the exact instructions if needed.
2 were stuck and frozen. Battery pull, cleared cache in recovery mode. Nothing worked. Factory reset in recovery mode. Now can't bypass activation.
No tricks are working.
-No emergancy call option cant imput dialer codes.
-Language screen touch four corners, nothing
- no airplane mode option, only power off & restart.
-volume up, down back, home or whatever nothing.
-Found one about how to trick to get to settings, no option for these .
Please help me figure out how to get the emergancy call button back or airplane mode back, or how to access settings so that I can skip activation.
Or please advise any way I can bypass activation after a factory data reset was done on a towelrooted LG Realm.
Please Please Please. They are driving me nuts about fixing!
