Hello
First post here, but been reading for a long time
I updated my pixel 9 to this build today. When restarting the phone and after entering the pin code for the sim card
I was told to enter a password. I can't remember to have made a password, but not sure.

I thought I would just reset the phone and start from scratch. But I can't reflash it since bootloader is locked and recovery mode just shows a dead Android and nothing else.

Would appreciate any help you can give

    Riasroc recovery mode just shows a dead Android and nothing else.

    From there, push and hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time, or power then volume up (if I remember correctly.. maybe volume down?) and a menu should appear where you can perform a factory reset.

      Awesome! I can confirm that the second factor PIN works like a charm on my Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and Pixel tablet on 2024123000.
      You have my gratitude!

      Also; best wishes for 2025 to the GrapheneOS dev team and the forum members, have a good new year everyone!

        ryrona Most people could easily afford to break a 4 word passphrase ($1 000), if they believe there is anything of value at all on your phone

        Depends, are the 4 words in any dictionary in the first place?

        Not that you're still better off using more words though ;p

              phone-company you can switch it of easily if you don't want Vibration??!!

              I actually wasn't aware that one could finetune the touch vibration level generally. Thanks!

                Ammako Depends, are the 4 words in any dictionary in the first place?

                They definitely are if you were able to select them randomly in a secure way to begin with. Whether the list is published or not is another thing, but keeping it secret actually add very little extra entropy per word, so no real reason to keep the list secret either.

                Remember, the brain is the worst random number generator ever made. So you need a word list.

                  ryrona It starts with scrypt in the OS but it finishes with a device-dependent key derivation algorithm in the TEE. We can't modify the final phase of key derivation at the end since it's done in the Trusty-based TEE. We could increase the scrypt parameters but we want to determine precisely what happens across each device generation. It would be best if we filed an issue report requesting specific improvements to the TEE key derivation after putting research into it and got them to improve things there. It would be far better if it spent 100ms there using a good hardware accelerated algorithm with a hardware-bound key instead of 100ms in the OS with scrypt, but we can raise what the OS does in the meantime. However, anything we do will need to be a supported encryption format until the end-of-life of each of the devices since users may be upgrading from a very old version to the latest one over 6 years from now for devices with 7 years of support. That's a huge long term support commitment. That's why we haven't been fiddling with this. If we're going to change it, maybe we should replace scrypt instead of tuning it to take longer and use more memory.

                      Where is the charge limit toggle? I do not see it in Battery Settings nor by searching "limit" in settings

                        Not completely.
                        I'm not a beginner. Of course, I have already deactivated vibration and haptic feedback.
                        But it doesn't help when switching on, it still vibrates.

                            My device has rebooted by itself after the install but I have configured to do not autoreboot after install

                            Do I understand correctly that bypass charging is enabled automatically when charging limit is enabled?
                            It would make sense, though I expected a separate toggle or at least a mention of this on settings page.

                              W1zardK1ng You have to first register a fingerprint, and then enable fingerprint unlock, then you'll see it.

                                  Fingerprint has been something I have never used. Reasons should be obvious. PIN + FP authentication is all new to me and I am liking it.

                                  Perhaps the only thing I don't especially like is after a number of failed FP attempts it reverts to passphrase, but it is too easy to back out to FP. On that, I would like to see a lockout policy. Enforce the passphrase or lockout for say 10 minutes persistent across a reboot.

                                  And 80% charge limiting... Great! 👍

                                  I am sure there is more, but these two features stand out the most for me.

                                  A big thank you to the devs for their work.
