encryption problem - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello!
I am from Russia and therefore there may be errors in the text.
I'll move on to the problem itself.
Encryption is enabled on the phone, which often causes the phone to freeze when entering or setting a password.
This issue started after rolling back to 9 android and then upgrading to 10.
No flashing helps.
Please help to disable encryption!
By the way, the PC still does not define it as a drive in twrp mode, although the drivers are installed

Nexus 7 2013 WiFi - WiFi won't turn on after Marshmallow upgrade - bad Mac Address

Just sideloaded the Mashmallow update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 (downloaded from Google) and the update seemed to go normally - most things work as normal. But the WiFi wouldn't turn on, and it's mac address reports as 02:00:00:00:00:00. That address I know was an issue in the M Preview as a fake address.
I didn't want to hard reset it but in the end relented and loaded a clean new version of 6.0 from Google. When it restarts the second thing it wants to do, after selecting a language, is start the WiFi so it can log on. Of course WiFI won't start, and I can't "skip" so it's stuck. I tried Bad_Boyz fromXDA, and then going back to 5.1.1, and now forward again to 6.0 - same result. I suspect the WiFi mac address has been cleared. I found a little help that if I shell into the tablet, and write the mac address into /persist/wifi/.macaddr I might move forward. I know how to do this, but I can't shell in with adb. I can talk over USB, and run fastboot. When I connect via USB the Nexus mounts (sort of - the storage folder isn't shown when the tablet is at the "Select WiFi network" stage of setup)
When I run "adb devices" - I can't see any, even though I can "fastboot reboot recovery" and the like. I'm sure bluetooth (mac address) is broken too, but I"ll fix that later.
Does anyone have any idea how I can encourage adb to talk, so that I can "adb shell"?
Safe Mode
Just so you know - I started it in safe mode, which I have done before, but anyway - and the WiFi works. Also, USB debugging is presumably switched to off on a hard reset, and I couldn't log in to enable it without working WiFi. Suddenly my mac address is back. Don't really know if safe mode is the answer but it's worth trying...
To get into Safe Mode - long press on the "Power Off" question when you turn it off - it reboots in safe mode.

Encryption not active... but it should

Hi Guys,
My OnePlus 3 ist rooted, open Bootloader + TWRP.
Oxygen OS 3.2.4 is running. First time I used the device, encryption was offered to me - so I set it up.
I than used the phone for about 2 months, always had to enter a Passphrase when I rebootet.
I noticed, that if I use TWRP I can browse through my personal files without entering any credentials.
System-Preferences says: "Phone Encrypted".
Do you have any suggestions for me?
I´ve found the solution by myself.
Anyone who is having the same issue, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/questions-encryption-unlocked-op3-t3427360/page2
You have to set up the display security again and activate the checkbox "PIN/Passphrase is needed to start the device".

Freeze and Reboot problem

Hi,
I'm facing serious problem with freeze and reboot frequently :crying:
My Gemini PDA is Japanese keyboard layout and 4G+WiFi type.
I tried to do following action for checking what root cause is.
- I removed microSD card and SIM card
- I rebooted by manual and connect to WiFi network.
But nothing was changed.
I also tried a soft reset from "backup and reset" -> "data reset" in Android OS settings but nothing was improved.
Does anyone have similar or same problem like me?
One more thing:
Planet Computer support suggested me full factory reset.
But I could not find how to do it. I tried it by pressing both ESC(power) button and side button simultaneously
but there is no available command like full reset.
Any suggestion or information is welcome!
Best regards
Akira
additional info.
I tried to find when freeze problem happens as following.
1) Input method conflict
1st time, I installed Google Japanese language input and activate both Google's and Gemini keyboard input. This may make conflicts and freeze problem was happened.
I disabled Gemini keyboard input and leave Google's input as active.
It looked reducing the error rate but not fixed yet.
2) Evernote app
When evernote app syncs with cloud 1st time, freeze problem happened. This happens only once.
3) Playing movie file from google photo app
Some times happens.
4) initial setting up
So I did reset of my data and apps on Android OS.
But reboot problem might be getting worse.
Inputting my google account like "[email protected]" but frozen and reboot happened before inputting "@" character.
I tried to find root cause by removing SIM card but the problem happened again.
I asked my Japanese Gemini users if they are facing similar problem but no one faced the problem.
reflashing image but nothing changed
Hi,
I got suggestion from Planet Computer's support team that flashing image might fix the problem.
I tried it but nothing was improved.
I already sent the result to team. I hope they will pick my pda up then replace it.

By the way, it does not need install flash tool driver if you use Windows10.
Just launching Flash tool works without installation of the driver.

[HELP] Can't update recovery / Can't bypass 'Just a sec' dialogue in setup wizard.

I need help with my Honor 8 Pro.
So, I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP but after some days I screwed up something and the TWRP's gone and now there's just the erecovery available (However its only giving me 'Update and reset' option instead of usual wiping and it's failing to update itself on clicking that option)
Second part is, I can boot my device but its getting stuck on 'Wait a sec' screen after entering WiFi details in the setup wizard (and I can't bypass it because of 'The way you restored factory settings may pose security risks. Please verify your identity with your Google account' message)
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. USB debugging is turned off so phone is not getting detecting in ADB/Fastboot

Question S22 Ultra reboots when I enter the passcode. One UI 5.0 Beta

Model: SM-S908U1 Unlocked
Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)
