Motivation doesn't really matter in this context; some people simply enjoy harming others.

OP, I think your buddy's best recourse at this point is to factory reset the device, then recover his Google account if possible, and change all passwords that may have been on the device. He should also monitor his bank accounts for fraudulent activity.

Edit: Is the bootloader unlocked?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound, or sometimes a ton of cure. NEVER, EVER give out any security information, ESPECIALLY to someone you don't know on the Internet.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
FRP is active so without the Google account he'll be locked out after factory reset...

No easy fix.

Will Google help? Don't count on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] V0latyle:
Not even from recovery mode or bootloader? Edit: apparently not, FRP lock might as well be a hardware lock

Might be able to bypass if bootloader is unlocked

Depends, proving identity can be difficult, and it's true the Big G's customer service is not known for their efficiency or expediency...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If it's an unlocked phone this allegedly should work.

Every other solution is complicated and likely against forum rules to post.

Using the Developer Option:​

Go to the settings Menu > then About Device > tap on the “Build Number” more than 5 times > go back to settings menu > Now tap on the Developer option > check to Enable OEM Unlock > Done! Now you can reset your phone without facing the FRP lock

My Note 10+'s are unlocked so this solution helps me. I loathe FRP.

[Lenovo P11] ErickNeris:
Hello dear friends! I'm new to the forum and I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any rules!

I have a Lenovo Tab P11 5G (TB-J607Z) and I would like to put a global rom on it, I searched the entire internet and found nothing consistent...

Could someone help me on this journey? I also have some doubts.

Right after placing the global rom, will I be able to install netflix and other streaming apps without any problem via "google play"? Will I receive updates via ota normally?

And lastly and most importantly, right after putting global rom I would like to keep its bootloader locked for security reasons, is this possible?

The only information I have about this model's global rom is this screenshot of this site containing it, I'll leave it attached.

Thank you all for your attention and help.

[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] QuietLife:
Hi there,

My phone doesn't boot to android and returns to recovery every time, after doing a dirty installation from ArrowOS 11 encrypted to 12 also encrypted.

I made a backup, but I selected the internal storage by fault.

And now TWRP doesn't ask me for a password, so I can't decrypt the data partition.

What I tried to fix the issue:

I tried to install more than one TWRP version included [Orange fox, PBRP, and a one called twrp_ginkgo-willow-3.4A9_23-12-2020_BL.img (this was one I used before with ArrowOS 11]

installed the last working firmware and the latest ArrowOS 11 as I can't find older versions.

decrypting the data with this command: "ADB shell twrp decrypt mypincode"

The last time this happened to me, I followed those steps:

I had to wipe all partitions and clean install the same previous ROM

Then I created the same pin code as my previous one

I created a backup of boot, Dtbo, and recovery

restored my data backup through TWRP

restored the boot, Dtbo, and recovery

wiped the Dalvik / Art Cache and Cache

The problem now is that I created the backup on the internal storage by fault. If someone made the same pin code as mine and created a backup of the boot, Dtbo, and recovery for me is it going to work?

Is there anything else I can do to recover my data?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
No, decryption key is unique

If you already (sometime in the past) flashed DFE wih format data , then just flash DFE and clear chache/dalvik + reboot

if you never did it then i'm afraid there is no solution ,you have to format

Ask in DFE topic to make sure
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] QuietLife:
I didn't use it, but last time I didn't use it also and I restored my data, so I think I might have a chance.

Is there a way to backup the current encrypted data partition to a PC or a memory card?
[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] loopypalm:
Some roms does not encrypt data by default, that was the case i think

I never tried it (i never encrypt) so i'm not sure

you can change the bkp path in Ofox to USB (OTG) or SDCard and see if it work

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrputtputt:
This Oneplus X seems to be more difficult than my previous attempts for installing TWRP and custom ROM. I keep getting stuck and nothing returning once in fastboot and executing command "fastboot devices". I just keep getting "< waiting for device >" .

I think I have ADB installed right because while the Oneplus X is on and in normal mode (developer settings enabled with OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled also) ADB connects. The USB drivers look to work fine because I can see the device (including SD card storage) and transfer files. in ADB and typing in ADB devices, I see the device.

When I run adb reboot bootloader and execute fastboot devices using command.com with administrator privilege, it just returns another prompt. It doens't show any device. I get the same results with Powershell with administrator privelge.

I'm already on my 2nd machine trying to do this although it's a windows 10 also just w/o updates for six months (was off and on the side of office). I had the same issues on my newer machine and thought it's the windows 10 machine I'm using. Researching the internet and here, I see others mention it though I didn't see any solution. I don't have a Linux machine (never really used it though had redhat installed eons ago somewhere). I guess I can do a refresh of my 2nd/older machine and not do any updates to see if that may help with any driver conflict though I don't see any indicators since adb can see the device. I thought trying to install TWRP via sideloader may work but I don't see tutorials and commands via that way.

Also I'm using ADB 1.4.3 in the 2nd windows machine. I had the Minimal ADB and Fastboot version on the other machine.

Anything else I can try?

P.S. The Onyx seems to be harder than putting android on my old HP touchpad! Putting a Tmobile rom on a AT&T Galaxy S4 and custom rom on a Oneplus 2 seemed much easier than the Onyx though unsure why. Onyx and the Oneplus 2 were comparable manufacturing years iirc.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrputtputt:
On the 2nd machine, i did a windows 10 reset to basically refresh it (like a fresh install). I started over again and managed to get past the fastboot device problem and it's showing it now. I think the prior problem was the device and driver and even with a re-install, can't seem to get past it. The only difference I did with ADB install was not opting to install google drivers.

I got the bootloader unlocked and the recovery.img file done. Basically I'm following the direction from this page - https://www.technobuzz.net/root-oneplus-x-install-twrp-recovery/ - which seems to be aligned with most youtube and I think same as old pages here.

Now where I'm stuck is when executing "fastboot boot recovery.img" I get the failed (remote : dtb not found) and can't seem to find a solution to this one. Some sites say something about the partition?

Thoughts? hopefully this machine is not too old/dead for some comments/guidance unless I'm posting on the wrong section.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrputtputt:
well to share back here and for closure.. looks like the recovery image i used on the site above must be for a different OOS. doing some further searches here and different terms and jumping to another thread from a search result thread (lol), i read that i needed a specific twrp for oos 3.1.4. (odd since recovery is supposed to be independent of ROM version, but that seemed to have work). guess persistence pays after all. ;)

it really did heavily matter having the device recognized properly by windows 10. once i got past the blank fastboot device command execution, i got the another issue due to the phone not knowing how to boot into the recovery version i was trying to install, at least that's how another poster in another thread explained it. hence the right twrp had to be used for oos 3.1.4

getting rid of icons on your home screen

Here's a cool one I just learned. Hold and press the icon you want to get rid of. you'll feel a short vibrate. after the vibration you can move the icon around or delete it by dragging it to the little gray trashcan that appears at the bottom of the page. This won't delete the program, just the icon.

folders on home and menu????

I see mention of renaming folders but I can't even figure out how to make a folder. Anyone know how?
[G1 General] Ghost_1:
The easiest way is to:

1. On home screen press and hold

2. when the menu pops up select "shortcur"

3. select the first option "folder"

4. done. :D

To rename the folder (only cause I didn't understand the first post):

1. open the folder

2. press and hold the top bar of the open folder, otherwise known as the 'dock'

3. type in name and change it.

4. Done. :D

[G1 General] Maave:
My tip is for temporary S-Off on 2708+ radios. Since the 1.33.0013d is S-On sometimes you'll have to switch radio and get an engineering SPL. I have a 2.22.28.25 radio on my Dream. Instead of getting an old radio and then an SPL I just flash the engineering 1.33.2005 SPL and be done with it. The ROM won't boot since it's not designed for that combo but fastboot and recovery work fine, which are the only things I'll be using that SPL for anyway. Then when I'm done I pop the 1.33.0013d SPL back on and start my ROM. This is handy when I'm changing the boot image and I don't feel like matching radios and SPLs.

I'm not sure if this would work with custom MTD but I think it would be fine since you're not booting the ROM until after all the SPL work is done and restored.
[G1 General] Maave:
I just remembered another one. It's for when you transfer files to your SD card but apps don't detect the files yet. Instead of unmount and remounting the SD card, there's a tool in activities that scans the storage for changes.

Make a shortcut on your homescreen. Do Shortcuts > Activities > Dev Tools and select "Media Scanner". Now after you transfer any files just hit that shortcut to load them up.

Here's what it looks like when it's running. It takes a few seconds to scan

I want to do the same with syncing. Anyone know if there's an activity that can force sync?
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
You should *not* flash SPL / radio having CustomMTD applied. There is no guarantee that it will work, because of the modified mtd partition layout.

Your tip flashing the 1.33.2005 SPL using recovery might work, but a more secure way is doing a nandroid/bart and flashing the orange-xxx.nbh afterwards (using fastboot (!)) as described by Terry in his thread. After flashing reboot into bootloader and you have a full engineering SPL running. After you have finished, you can flash again the 2.22.28.25 radio and the 1.33.0013d SPL, again using fastboot and with a minimum risk to brick you phone ...
[G1 General] cdirty:
I am running CM6 right now. Want to try out Froyo by Lazlo. But it requires a different spl and radio. If i update those to work for Lazlo will it still work if i decide to go back to CM or will i have to change them back again?
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
Should run, but you need to flash a different kernel (a 2708+ compatible one) on top of it, otherwise you will get bootloops ...
[G1 General] cdirty:

Hard Reset

(THIS WILL REMOVE ALL APPS BUT NOT YOUR PICS AND MUSIC!!)

Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.

Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle.

Now to wipe the device clean:

Press Alt+L.

Press Alt+W for a factory reset.

Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds. Let go of the keys.

The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.

This will wipe your device to factory reset. You will need to log in to your gmail account like you initially did.

My G1 is running CM7. I've tried the steps above, but instead getting the yahoo triangle screen, I got the CM Recovery mode. Is it the same?
