( ..................(( THE METHOD )).................. )
​

1- Wipe data/factory reset and cache partition from Recovery ( to enter recovery shut down your phone then hold volume up ,menu,power keys ) .

"" BEFORE DOING THAT IF YOU ARE ROOT USER BACK UP YOUR IMEI USING EFS☆IMEI☆Backup THEN MOVE THE FILE TO EXT CARD OR PC ""
