[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LickTheEnvelope:
Long time since i've posted here but can't figure out a way around new Android security "feature"...

I gave my GF a Moto G 3rd gen for christmas. She really liked it but didn't complete the initial setup so never linked her gmail to the device.

She had a run in with her ex boyfriend who stole her phone and held it for ransom for a few weeks before giving it back. In that time though he had been using it with his own sim card and had setup his gmail on the device. He is gone from the country now and we know of no way to contact him. He had also put a number lock on the phone.

No problem, I thought, i'll just reset the device. So I did a reset and wiped all info.

Upon startup it says:

"Verifying your account"

"This Device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on the device"

This is not possible as the only Google account ever on the device was the ex boyfriend's and he's gone.

So I checked online and figured "Okay well I'll just re-flash the ROM"...

So I found the base ROM for the phone in Canada and successfully flash it using ADB fastboot.

Turns out that even with the cache and accounts on the device cleared the restart still has the same request.

So I thought. "Well Maybe I can load a custom ROM"...

So I went to work trying to unlock the bootloader to root the device.

I got the code from Motorola and tried to unlock and got the message: "<bootloader> Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options FAILED

Which I cannot do because I cannot see a way into the device to unlock the dev options now.

Not sure what I can do now. This seems like a remarkably flawed security feature...

[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] Petarsson:
Hi,

I am pretty new to the Xiaomi- and especially to the Mediathek-world. This is why I have this noob question :silly:

Is the Redmi Pro currently the top smartphone by Xiaomi, at least hardware-wise?

Of course, besides Mi5/S, which run the SD 820/821...

Or is e.g. the Note 4 the stronger device, or any other? As far as I know, the Redmi-line is more a budget-thing, right?

Thx for any info on this! :highfive:

Best

[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] kristi6.9:
Redmi Pro is known as the Xiaomi Redmi's flagship and that means It is the strongest of the Redmi's even that it is Mediatek powered . mediatek disadvantage is that they does not release sources (which is needed for compiling custom roms and kernels) and the Snapdragon release its sources thats because snapdragon devices are the most wanted and that means bigger price but weaker phone. redmi pro's helio x20 or x25 is compared to snapdragon 810 and and its very close to sd 820. Redmi note 4 has the same chip (x20) but isnt better than redmi pro.Redmi note 4 PRO has a sd652 and that means it has more development for that device.

If you want a phone with a lot development buy redmi note 4 PRO --- if you want a stronger phone buy REDMI PRO.

PS: the best xiaomi for now is MI MIX (the bezelles device
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] Petarsson:
Thank you very much! My times of ROM-hopping are over...my current S7 is not even rooted...so I guess the Redmi Pro will be my first try on the chinese devices (Huawei P9 would be interesting, too, but I am searching for a bigger phone)

I have checked the Mix, it looks gorgeous and I would love to get my hands on this, but the price is far from what I invest in smartphones normally...:eek:;)

So, next step is checking the int. Xiaomi-ROM for the Pro, how to install and what to expect...:D
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] Immanuelwijaya:
The best xiaomi device now is mi5, mi mix, mi note 2.
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] vinterneti:
S7 has much better camera. Redmi Pro is not considered as flagman.

Xiaomi has better models like Mi5.

Even so I would prefare Redmi Pro because of OLED display.

But now Im having trouble with flashing ROM as it doesn't has official global vertion. So you need to apply for unlock bootloader and wait. Some people wait more than 10 days.
[Xiaomi Redmi Pro Questions & Answers] Pantherx12:
It's a good phone but with some really annoying hang ups. ( performance in general is good to very good with occasional lag due to bad core switching, screen is nice although a tad dim for outdoor use, build quality is great)

First of all the camera is a complete waste of time and this appears to be a software issue as the sensor it's self is capable of taking decent photographs. But it's honestly one of the worst smart phone cameras I've used and I've used a lot.

If you've ever used a blackberry in 2010-2011 that's the sort of quality so expect only at higher resolutions.

Second of all Xiaomi appears to have abandoned further development for the device ( no news on 7.0)

Also its missing wireless n support which is just weird, doesn't bother me oh so much as I rarely transfer files over WiFi but still an odd omission.

Hi guys,

Maybe it's somewhat over self-centered of me to start a thread on this, but i figured I might as well let people know in a proper fashion.

I'm taking a break at the moment, I'll be back sometime in January... this site has been good fun for me, and simultaneously a huge pain in the ass and I've found that my motivation to do anything at the moment has drifted to an all time low, so I apologise to all of those with the various devices who I arranged to meet to patch and hack various stuff, but at the moment I just don't particularly feel up to that, so just hold onto your hats till some time in January eh?

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Agent #108053:
P9 stuck in bootloop, can only enter fastboot.

have had a good hunt to other threads and tried various methods.

Was running L09C432B182, on fastboot is shows PHONE Locked and FRP Locked.

Have tried various tools and adb to flash system.img from extracted B182 full rom but adb returns FAILED <remote: command not allowed>

I have bootloader unlock code but it returns same error when attempting to unlock bootloader.

Am I missing something that could help?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: DC Phoenix used to restore Recovery which allowed to me flash UPADTE.APP via dload

Issue sorted :D
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ChaseRxx:
You will not be able to unlock Bootloader because you should have enabled the oem unlock option on the system. I assume you're out of system, so you have two options.

1 Try to pass the firmware using the Huawei updater software by the Hajuuk member.

2 Force update DLOAD mode (will only work if your device is entering e recovery)

And the last way is by getting $ 15 credits and doing the unbrick by DC Unlocker. (works if your device can enter fastboot mode)
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Agent #108053:
My DC Unlocker does not have an option for unbrick?

UPDATE: Seems it is DC Phoenix so will have a look at this and update
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ChaseRxx:
Yes. DC Phoenix a module of DC unlocker main software.

It will cost you 15 credits. And you be able to unbrick your device.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Agent #108053:
Thank You DC Phoenix failed to complete the process but did manage to add in recovery so was able to dload B182 horribly i have all the horrible icons.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ledinhbac:
I have the same problem as yours. My phone is totally dead. But I can't buy a DC unlocker account. Can you share the account with me? Please, I really need your help.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] mpiekp:
Accounts don't work that way, credits are needed per use.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ChaseRxx:
Your problem is only resolved by DC Phoenix.

You need 15 credits to use the unbrick service.

I recover 2 P9 yesterday... Dead Boot with frp and bootloader locked.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ledinhbac:
I recovered my P9 yesterday (using DC-Phoneix) but FRP is still lock. I can unlock bootloader but I can't get FRP unlock, even flash something like TWRP or root. (Error: Command not allowed)I can't use dload method to upgrade or downgrade. There's always an error at 5% ( The update package does not exist) although I copy dload folder into internal storage (and SD card too)

What should I do?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] n0my:
Whatever you do, do not unbrick with DC Phoenix using the Method 2. I done the Method 2, I was able to unbrick it but I don't get any network after it deleted some partitions which weren't in the factory image.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ledinhbac:
Luckily, I used the first method and everything is fine except FRP lock.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] n0my:
That's good.

To unlock FRP. Go to Developer menu and Enable OEM Unlock.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ledinhbac:
I already pressed OEM unlock in developer option but no success to unlock FRP. I tried some methods but no luck.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] n0my:
Remove any unlock pins and finger print locks.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ledinhbac:
After factory reset, the phone turned on. I only turned on OEM unlock and USB debug, then boot into fastboot mode. FRP is still LOCK.

I tried to flash something like TWRP but Error: Command not allowed.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owengann25:
I have a Tmobile Galaxy S6 that I rooted earlier today. I fiddled around trying to get odin to install the root, and I finally found my solution when I enabled OEM Unlock in settings. After I installed the root, I disabled OEM Unlock. I then rebooted my phone and now it gives me the "Custom binary blocked by FRP" message every time I try to turn it on. I have tried many different ways of factory resetting my phone. I have tried to install 3 different firmware files, one of them stock, using 5 different versions of odin and 2 different usb cables. No matter what I do I can't get past the FRP Lock. Is there anything I can do or should I take it to a repair shop?

Confirmed and working ROOT methods!

Up-to-date: For root with Nougat please use phh's supersu

Use version 2.59 from here

Install phh's SuperUser in the Play Store

to manage root access of apps.

Simply flash it and enjoy.

--------------------------------

If you prefer Magisk:

Prio to installing Magisk you will have to change the data partition from F2FS to EXT4 because the Lenovo Kernel is missing an F2F2 feature.

How to format data to EXT4:

Make sure while the first time you boot TWRP.

You "KEEP SYSTEM in READ ONLY MODE" by clicking "Keep Read Only"

then Go to:

Wipe>Advanced Wipe>Select "Data">Repair or Change File System>Change File System>EXT4

Install Magisk

and once you booted up the system install Magisk manager.

Proof that Magisk works see attachment!

Outdated Root Method for Marshmallow ONLY:

Here is for confirmed and working ROOT METHODS !!! Marshmallow ONLY !!!

(FOR SYSTEM MODE ROOT ONLY!)

download this pack https://goo.gl/KFtyzl

and extract its content into the adb&minimal fasboot folder

enter TWRP

do

adb push dot.supersu /data/.supersu

Select "ADB Sideload" in TWRP menu, (Advanced>ADB Sideload) make sure to select "Wipe Cache" and

Swipe to to Start Sideload and use following command to push SuperSu files.

adb sideload SuperSU.zip

Reboot into System. Done!

--------------------------------

FOR SYSTEMLESS MODE ROOT ONLY: (preferred method!) !!! Marshmallow ONLY !!!

As i stated in the Opening Thread. SuperSu can not be installed in Systemless-Mode by default because by default the /data partition is formated in F2FS.

More detailed explanation here: here

The current workaround is to disable the encryption (fully optional) and wipe the /data partition and format the /data partition to EXT4, which is also supported by the boot.img (thank you Lenovo!) and install SuperSu in Systemless-Mode. EXT4 formatting can be done through the "advanced wipe" of TWRP.

It has been tested and confirmed working. The main advantage is working OTA due to systemless SuperSu. As the OTA doesn't care if /data is actually F2FS or EXT4. Lenovo was so kind to provide both options in the stock boot.img.

Factory Images for P2a42 Marshmallow/Nougat & TWRP Test Image & Kernel Sources

Q: I messed up help me?! :crying:

So you screwed up and didn't follow Rule Number One in the IT-Handbook?

Which is: Always create a backup before working on a system?

(FACTORY IMAGES FOR Marshmallow ONLY!)

Warning! Following images are all confirmed working for the P2a42!

Do NOT attempt to use it on the P2c72 it will brick your device!

If you need an P2c72 factory flasher version! Let me know i will provide you with one!

Download the Factory State Images for Marshmallow. Which are all flashable with fastboot: https://goo.gl/JTCwKj

Place the files you want replaced into the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" installation directory and start it's shell:

If you want to flash back the stock recovery. Simply run:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You can also replace all partitions if required.

There is an flashall.bat file in the SW directory. Run it in case you want to restore all partitions.

But i highly recommend to replace just the partition you messed up. In most cases it will be boot,recovery or system.

One exception would be if you want to upgrade from an Old Firmware and you simply do not receive any OTA update files.

In that case you want to run a complete upgrade by running the flashall.bat file.

(FACTORY IMAGES FOR Nougat ONLY!)

Warning! Following images are all confirmed working for the P2a42!

Do NOT attempt to use it on the P2c72 it will brick your device!

[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] celoxocis:
I don't think it works on a virtual machine because of the USB passthrough. I know that ADB sideload works as it was confirmed by the Testers.

Instead of using sideload. Try by placing the SuperSu.zip onto the internal storage /data. And select the zip for install.
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] BDM101:
Still in a bootloop. Maybe the "UnSu" script isn't deleting everything? (it boots when I run the script)
[Lenovo P2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] celoxocis:
It depends on how often you tried to install SuperSU. It will revert all changes when you run SuperSu once. If you tried it more than once then the backup folder will overwrite the data with already patched data.

Grab the stock images packages from post #3 and extract it's content.

No need to restore all the partitions.

Just open up the *.Bat file and look for the command that says "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and the parts that say "fastboot flash system systemchunk*" and run those in fastboot shell.

You will be back to stock without losing any of your data.

Then try again with the confirmed method in post #2. Just make sure you create a backup of boot and system (as image!) In case you need to restore. Let's say for applying an OTA.
