Hi everyone, anyone know how to enable the device encryption with the lock screen password? There's no that option in settings.
Looking for a solution , someone say to use a strong lock screen password and that option will appear.
Not work.
Others say to enable the voice from developer option, and is no working even this, there's no such option in developer settings.
Any chance to get FDE working or I have to give the phone back?
Thanks
Edit: I call the Xiaomi customer care, I have no word, never seen something like this. They say isn't exist the FDE. If you want to full secure this phone you need to unlock and root the phone losing the warranty. Else you can keep your damn unsecure phone as you buy...wtf unbelievable I give the phone back today
If you're running Android 10, full disk encryption is not available anymore and file based encryption is used instead:

I enabled the encryption feature and it works pretty nice so far.
However I have a few questions regarding security.
I realize that on an "always on" device there is only limited security. Somebody could easily extract the key from the memory with the right equipment (some can do it even after the device was turned off, see coldboot attacks).
But I am curious about other possible attacks.
Let's say somebody finds the encrypted device (still turned on) with the following characteristics
- locked (14 characters)
- bootloader locked
- USB debugging disabled
How difficult would is be to get to the data on the phone? Are there any ways?

You would also need the stock recovery, as a custom recovery is not secure.
Good point. I will add it to the list.
But would that make the device "secure".
For example would it be possible to bypass the locked screen somehow?
Off topic question, what's on you device that requires encryption? Scientist or similar?

Hi everyone,
So my Verizon G4 VS986 recently had a bootloop issue and was sent in to LG to fix the phone. They sent it back and what they said they did was to replace the flash memory. Obviously the phone has been reset and all my data is wiped as warned before I sent the phone in. The phone now boots up but I'm stuck at verify your account. I logged in to my google account on this phone and after two step verification was a success, I still cannot move forward and am stuck at the verify your account.
I looked into this issue online and found that this is part of the Factory Reset Protection built into 5.1. In either case, I did not change my password to my google account at all, it is still the same password, so the 72 hour wait rule shouldn't apply here at all. I also can't bypass the protection either since some of the methods require that you go into the Accessibility as seen here through this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/tut-bypass-lg-lock-google-account-t3223518 . My issue is that that Accessibility menu is not present on the initial screen, only language and moving forward.
So what are my options now? Contact LG about my issue or is there a way I can contact Google? Is it possible that the original account information is stored on the flash memory which LG replaced and now the account I need to log in is of some different user? If that's the case, am I forever stuck on this screen and this phone is effectively dead? Or is there something I can do that I haven't discovered yet? If anyone could help, it'd be a great help, thank you.

Since no one has the answer, I'll chime in on my resolution. Call LG, send the phone back in, and they will get it fixed. In my case, they changed the motherboard this time, not only the flash memory. After that, no more verify your account issues. Still was in warranty, not sure if you get a bootloop out of warranty would they still fix it without charging you.
I've got a problem with my lg k10 - It's number protected and I can't remember the combination. I can't make a backup, because my usb is in loading only mode, I can't access it remotely because USB debugging is off. I really don't want to hard reset it, because i've got some private and important things there. I can't really do anything about rooting etc. (I don't know anything as well). Just for mentioning sake, I've tried ADM, but it didn't work (like it's anything new :/) is there any way to bypass it somehow without hard resetting it?
EDIT: I'm sorry if it's not the place for such newbie things, I lost all my hope and I don't know what to do
EDIT2: It was repaired after screen crash and I don't really remember putting the code combination in place of contemporary screen lock.

Hi,
So I have a rather unheard of problem. I was given a phone from a friend before they moved out of state and have no way of contacting them anymore. I turned it on and it had a pass code so i just figured i would do a factory reset ( or what i assumed to be a factory reset) using the buttons on the phone. I used the recovery menu to get to the screen that gave me the options to wipe data, or install update from apk, or factory reset the phone so i used the volume buttons and clicked reset. I let the phone do its thing and when it turned back on it goes to the google factory reset protection page saying i need to login using a google account that was previously used on the phone before the reset. FML! i used the talk back option to be able to access the settings menu and figured i would just do the reset from the settings menu. This is were all of my problems begin!! I can access the settings menu and get to the back up & reset and then click the the Factory reset option. However, the factory reset screen has a button at the bottom of the screen that says Reset Phone and when I click the Reset phone button, absolutely nothing happens. (It makes a click sound but it doesn't do anything at all)
The Other Problem!!: For some unknown reason i cant seem to access the developer options and enable USB debugging. even after i put the phone in safe mode i still could not get the developer options to appear. I have no clue what i am doing wrong but i feel like i am running into a brick wall and not matter what i click or press the phone just will not do what it is suppose to do! I tried every way I can think of to enable USB debugging but, no matter how many times I try to click Build Number or Build Version ( whatever it is exactly called, hopefully you can understand what I mean) nothing happens! I have tried to install a USB debugging app from a qr code but it won't read the qr code from the camera app. I was able to access the camera app using the same talk back trick that i used to get into the settings. I keep telling myself if only i knew about the talk back trick to get into the settings menu before i stupidly reset the phone when i first saw the pass code. So I am hoping that a google FRP Bypass program will work and help me make the phone usable again!! Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?? I am open to all ideas.
So far i have come up with a few ideas but idk if any of them are even possible to accomplish! Can someone help me out and tell me if any of the following options are even possible and whether or not it will be helpful and make the phone usable so i can have a cell phone again. Please, Please can someone help me!! Ideas:
1.) Use a Google Factory Reset Protection Unlocking program.
2.)Somehow completely delete the entire phone and reinstall the marshmallow android OS, like when you would do a fresh clean install of windows on a PC, (IDK if this is even possible but i am assuming it should be)
3.) Rooting the phone and finding a new custom ROM. ( I haven't even done anything like or close to rooting a phone, but im guessing it cant be that hard, right? Google and YouTube have vast amounts of tutorials........, hopefully,....right?
4.) I have backups of my older phones that i am wondering if it would be possible to use one of the backups i have saved and somehow putting it on the phone as a way to get pasted the FRP lock? I haven't a clue if the backups are only usable to the specific phones that created them or if they can be used on any phone?
5.) Downgrade the Android version to a older version that doesn't have the FRP lock, then once i have access into the phone i can just upgrade the phone after i logging into my google account.
6.) You know how Windows PC have the restore option in the settings so you can go back to a previously made restore point? Like turning back the clock so to speak, Is this option available or does it even exist at all on Android? I was thinking if it does i can just simply store the phone back to before i stupidly reset it and then use the trick to bypass the screen lock code and use the settings to do a hard reset ( I really don't think this option even exists or is possible but im literally at the point of willing to try and do absolutely anything to be able to have a phone again! Please and thanks! It is a ZTE Z837VL and it is Android marshmallow, Android Version 6.0.1 (I'm not sure if the
Android version matters or not?)
Thanks. Also If this is the wrong place for this post then please just let me know where the correct spot is to post and i will quickly fix it!! I am new to the site and I have read alot of posts and truthfully, feel like i have overwhelmed myself with trying to make sure i do things the way its supposed to be done. I know many most likely ALL of the members on this site are advanced and way more knowledgeable about the mobile phone information. I do know alot of computers and I have alot of programming experience but i have only focused on PCs and am just starting to learn what i can about mobile development.
Thanks again for helping me and sharing whatever you can with me to help solve things. I am really hoping not to end up with a paperweight haha!!

I seem to have really screwed things up. Device is at the required lock screen after a restart (biometrics are obv still fine), but I have forgotten my lock screen credential. USB debugging is not enabled, so adb isn't playing nice. Never unlocked the bootloader. What can I do other than wipe the device? I have data I wish to recover, so would prefer to rule out wiping, if possible.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you might just have to deal with the unconditional you're losing all that info that you still gradually want to keep you should have made a backup beforehand especially knowing that you keep a screen lock but you forgot it... I don't know if he had passwords etc backed up through your Google account if you have a Google account and a serious question is your phone even the unlockable type? I would suggest making backups and keeping them on a PC not directly onto your phone does backup every file manually but you may have to take the slight loss on this one I'm not 100% on that but I wish you luck I've been there before in the past and learn my lesson the harsh way

Try to remember the pin, pattern or password you used. Whatever you do, DO NOT RESET THE DEVICE. If you do reset, Google's Factory Reset Protection will kick in, and you will need to know the pin, pattern or password to continue setting the device up.
I pretty much gave up for now. The timer between tries is at around 4m. I hope perhaps some day in the future that there may be a way to activate usb debugging on the device (for adb) or somehow otherwise get my data off, but I don't have super high hopes.

if you know you google account you can easily unlock it but you will loos all your data , reset your device through recovery then while setting on FRP use your same account that you have setup on your device and it will ask you to add new account or use current . make sure you use current account and not new account
- hope this helps , if you dont get anything work around i would suggest you to go to nearest google SVC and ASk them for the same issue they will surely help as they have software to solve this kind of issue frequantly :good:
