TWRP Secure Booting Error

Hey there!
I'm trying to install the Team Win Recovery.

Device: LG G3 d855
OS: Android Lollipop 5.0

My Device is rooted, I'm using SuperSU.

I have already tried to install it with: Flashify, TWRP Manager, TWRP Coordinator, Autorec, ROM Toolbox installer, Terminal.

Every time when it looks like its succesful and I reboot into recovery, it shows up a "secure booting error". Then the lamp above the display is blinking red and blue. So I have to remove the battery and power it.

I have already looked for a solution, but nothing I tried worked.( e.g. unlock the bootloader)

"Secure fail: kernel" in recovery mode

Whenever I boot my galaxy s4 into recovery mode I get the message "secure fail: kernel". I am able to boot normally, the system runs fine, and I am running lollipop 5.1.1

Android Secure RSS Reader?

Hello Good People,

Any one know of an android secure rss reader. The app needs to support authentication.

T.I.A.

What options are almost as secure as "secure startup" (PIN on boot)? How close?

So I have a bootloader unlock, TWRP'd HTC 10 and I know that the Nexus 6P and many newer devices allow you to enable secure startup. When you set security to PIN, MM asks you if you want to require the PIN to boot the device. If you say yes, during boot the number keypad will be presented and you have 30 tries to enter the right PIN or it erases your device. Unfortunately, with this option enabled when I flash themes (tried different ROMs, different sources), it almost always hangs just before presenting this keypad with a message that says "Preparing Settings". The screen is normal with secure startup, but after a time it proceeds to the keypad. Anyway, I want to be secure so I've left it enabled and then I forget, flash a theme, and bang - phone is screwed up.

I believe that if I don't enable this then the data system is encrypted, and I know when I boot into TWRP it asks for a PIN to decrypt and mount data. If I encrypt my SD and store the TWRP backups there, (or password protect the backups) wouldn't that protect me from someone getting into one of those? At least the data partition? And any malcontent couldn't generate a new one including data to browse because they wouldn't be able to mount data in the first place without the PIN, right? If all this is true then I'm not sure what they could get with just the system partition (and boot and recovery of course)...

Can anyone shed light onto whether secure startup is really buying me anything with these other precautions in place, and if you think secure startup is worth it? Thanks!

Can anyone recomend a trusworthy secure browser for android?

Hi,
So I trust the AOSP browser but it's not the greatest security wise, It only updates vulnerabilities with the system update which manufacturers don't always do .

Chrome is updating regularly but I don't like the fact that it's googles, so lets say that I don't trust it.

Firefox sounds great but it crashes on my system (different thread).


there is also some UA browser from china but as far as i understand it has problems both in security and in trustworthiness (it constantly sends your info to some server).

Umm I remember encountering some more but they were all basically forks of those primary three .

anyone knows anything?

thank you.

Flashable themes with secure boot (with PIN) hangs

I've recreated this problem with a number of themes on a couple of different ROMs so I'm hoping someone can help me find a workaround or a way for the theme providers to bypass this issue. I keep my HTC 10 encrypted using the normal means, and when I selected a PIN I enabled the secure boot option that requires a PIN. To be clear, if you are using this feature then when you reboot or cold boot after the initial boot animations it flashes up a screen that says "preparing settings" (or something like that) then you get an off-white screen with a prompt to input a PIN to decrypt. If you succeed, then it goes back to the boot animation and then it continues to boot to the initial login, which looks like your lock screen PIN entry and requires a PIN on first boot, even if you have fingerprint enabled. So secure boot has 2 PIN entry requirements., and it almost looks like 2 boots to get into a fully operational system.

Anyway, if I flash a zip them (say, one of the venom official themes, pureview, etc.) then it will get to that screen that says "preparing settings" and it will hang forever. It never allows me to input the decryption PIN so it can continue boot, and I have to reboot to recovery and restore. Can anyone help me address this?

Thanks!

Secure Settings or dt2w Support

Hi,

for the last 2 Days, I have not been able that Secure Settings is working correctly.

I have tried with stock rom (4.2.2) and CM13 (6.0), both with root. I have activated System+ with root access with no problems, but no action does working with tasker.

Also, I can not find a Kernel for Nexus 10, that support dt2w. Is there no Chance to get this feature?

Thanks for helping.
