[Q] S5 encryption - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the only solution to encryption the S5 is to use password to lock the device ?
I have a not rooted S5.
I would like to use the figerprint unlock (it's fast).
I can go for a pin unlock mode.
but a password, is realy impractical
Thanks

How can i put password in bootloader (s4 GT-I9500)

HI,,,,
i have Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9500 and i want to put password in boot-loader , so im using Philz_recovery and set password in recovery . i need to this to protect my phone if i lost it form any one can to change rom
thanks
Smartphones don't have a BIOS like a computer would. On a computer you can set a BIOS password as it in effect is its own operating system. Enter the password and the BIOS initializes what it needs to do then passes control to the bootloader.
On a smartphone, while there is low level firmware like a BIOS, there is no way of accessing it by the ordinary person, thus no need of a password prompt. The bootloader doesn't have a password because its only job is to set up the device environment for the operating system. Thus the only way to password protect a device is through a pattern lock, pin number, or password on Android's lock screen.
One last thing: Philz is two years out of date. Use TWRP instead.
thanks for your reply , helpful answer , but i want to know how can i protect my phone if stolen that some one cannot change the rom by go to download mode and using Odin so( if i put password in android lock screen , and put password in custom recovery and put password in download mode It will make it difficult to change the rom and make my phone unusable)
any Suggestions
thanks
If you had truly read my post you would have noticed two things.
1. Password protection of the bootloader (and download mode) isn't available.
2. Focus on securing the data.
So the answer to your request for suggestions is simple. Don't lose your phone.
All you can do is encrypt the phone, use Android Device Manager, and use a strong password.
