[GUIDE] HOW TO FIX PRIVATE MODE WHEN RESTORING TWRP BACKUPS N5/S7 Edge -> TEKHDway!

WARNING!!! ALL YOUR PRIVATE MODE DATA WILL BE LOST!!!

Well... sometimes when you restore a TWRP Backup...

and try to enable/activate Private Mode... You get this error... "Failed to enable Private Mode"

Your only option at this point is probably a full clean ROM Installation... (or wipe entire data/cache) and start all over again...

So... instead of starting all over again (or throwing your phone)




You can do this:

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!! ALL YOUR PRIVATE MODE DATA WILL BE LOST!!!
USE THIS METHOD IF YOU WANT TO AVOID A CLEAN INSTALLATION...




1. Navigate to /data/system/ and search for:

- personalpattern.key
- personalfingerprintpassword.key
- personalpin.key

...and delete them all... (you might not have all 3 files, that's ok)

2. Navigate to /data/system/users/ and search for:

- privatemode_edk_1000

...delete it....

3. Reboot... & Done.... Private Mode is now fully operational.


Good Luck!
