[Huawei MediaPad T5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
It's called a FRP lock - Factory Reset Protection. This happens when the device is factory reset via recovery instead of system settings - as Samsung puts it, "Factory Data reset in an untrusted environment", "trusted" in this context meaning outside a valid user state - device has been unlocked by passcode, etc. This is intended to be an anti-theft measure to prevent someone else from wiping your phone and using it after stealing it from you. The account information that was on the device when it was reset must be entered to unlock it.

Tell your friend of the problem and ask for his help; he should be able to enter his account information, then perform Factory Reset from system settings.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
Lately (within the last couple of months) when I use Google Maps with GPS it says I am out in the Atlantic Ocean right on the equator just south west of Nigeria. It will continue to say that forever unless I am moving in which case it will fix itself after a few minutes.

This is really annoying if I'm trying to pull up some directions real quick, sure it fixes itself eventually as long as I'm moving but it makes it so I have to wait longer to get my directions (and if I'm parked it won't work and I have to drive around a bit to fix it).

Anyone else have this problem? I didn't have it up until about a month or two ago. I'm not sure if the change has to do with a new Google Maps version or ROM change. I don't have this problem with TomTom (although TomTom also doesn't seem to work indoors).

Any help appreciated :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Eirikr88:
Whenever i got that problem a restart fixed it. It usually occurred at my work building, cause i got literally NO signal inside the place. I also have had that problem since it was updated to the newer versions.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Imyman:
I've got the same problem with google maps not being able to pinpoint my location using gps at home. It shows a place that's like 20 miles away. It does fix it eventually if I move around a bit so I thought it might just be signal issues.

Hello friend, I have a zte a51 that has the same unisoc processor. Can I use these files to have root? The only difference is the Android 11 that my model has, another question with this, isn't it necessary to have the bootloader unlocked?
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Unfortunately your model doesn't have an engineering firmware available so you can't root by this method. About the bootloader it doesn't need to be unlocked
[Blade General] OdiNoKiY_KoT:
ZTE blade v2020 smart it will be possible to root by installing gsi firmware?
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Depends if v2020 and v2020 smart are the same model or not, if they are then yes you can flash GSIs, if they aren't no
[Blade General] OdiNoKiY_KoT:
Smart and non-smart version are different. ZTE blade v2020 on mtk, ZTE blade v2020 smart on unisoc
[Blade General] OdiNoKiY_KoT:
Where can I find it .pac GSI firmware for ZTE blade v2020 smart?
[Blade General] Sanka Kotik:
how to remove the inscription "lock flag is unlock" when loading?
[Blade General] Sanka Kotik:
and how to reboot into the bootloader?
[Blade General] Azaze666:
for that you have to mod bootloader, i would go on the group and ask @DevZillion he may know how to
[Blade General] Azaze666:
that only works on telcel firmware (on zte blade A5 2019) and honestly that firmware is really bad, ram is limited to 1GB and there is only one imei. I really don't reccomend that. Anyway @DevZillion will try to build a custom bootloader to restore fastboot functionality on next days.

Edit, i added a bootloader with fastboot functionality on bootloader unlock files
[Blade General] Azaze666:
you mean an eng firmware i guess, good question, you have to find some internal at ZTE who passes you that firmware, if i was in you i would make an issue on:https://github.com/TomKing062/CVE-2022-38694_unlock_bootloader and ask the dev to help you unlock the bootloader as i did on my ZTE Blade A5 2019

[Blade General] Sanka Kotik:
Does anyone know how to fix offline charging on GSI ROMs? Which files should be transferred? Also I would like to fix white LED indicator (at the moment, it only lights up on charging, not on notifications, and is not configurable in any way). To fix FM Radio, you need to migrate the DreamFMRadio app and the libfmjni library (not tested). And I would like to see a working TWRP or bootloader, so as not to flash the full image every time (it is fraught with killing NVRAM)
[Blade General] Azaze666:
I think you should come to my telegram group, we are trying to fix stuff, I already made a full engeneering Rom for example where almost anything is working. Another guy is trying to do lineage. Link is on first post (hoping admins will permit it)
[Blade General] Sanka Kotik:
This is not custom firmware as is, but a modified engeenering ROM with a “hodgepodge” of software, and bluetooth and something else does not work there either. But thanks anyway for supporting this phone ;)
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Bluetooth still doesn't work? I'll have to fix....

What else doesn't work?
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Glad to announce that Bluetooth is fixed, I'm dumping the firmware rn, I now noticed that certificates sections does not work, I'll try to fix it as well.
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Glad to announce that now I integrated almost all apps, and so all functions should be working, certificates section of settings is working as well, only thing that is not working is cryptography and certificate installation (which is correlated to cryptography). You can try latest firmware and tell me if there are other bugs. It is on my group and on terabox

But this is for the ZTE Blade A5 2020 phone
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Works on both
[Blade General] Azaze666:
I understand, my aim wasn't to break rules, Skorpion isn't even on xda anymore so removing the group could make sense? Also yes I'm not a developer (or well I don't have the development flag, I don't even know how to get it), anyway I apologize and I won't publish such links again. But that said I looked at the faq regarding telegram links on xda and no it's untrue that if someone publish a link to telegram he doesn't want to provide support on xda but on telegram instead, at least from my point of view the thing is that telegram is more immediate, and I'm providing support here and on telegram. That said I don't want to break any rules so I will accept your decision to remove the telegram link, but I'm curious about getting the developer badge at this point, at least for curiosity. Anyway.... I'm sorry (I hope you won't get mad)
[Blade General] Oswald Boelcke:
@Azaze666 Thanks for coming back to me.

A learning question from my side: Which FAQ regarding Telegram do you mean? Links to Telegram fall under the last bullet of rule no. 5 of the XDA Forum Rules. And I think I've covered everything in my post.

Regarding the "developer badge" or the title as Recognised Developer (RD) I link to refer you to

Recognized Developer Code of Conduct As an XDA Developers member with special standing as part of our developer program, we obviously have some expectations of your conduct. We try to be friendly here, and while we understand that not everyone is...

xdaforums.com

I'm not a member of the Developer Committee (you can find their names here) and therefore don't even know how they assess RD applications but I'm convinced that some projects must already have been published on XDA. And in your case, I didn't see any thread by you except for this guide.

And I'm approaching 68 years next month. Just by life experience there aren't too many things any more that make me mad quickly...

Regards and have a great day.

Anyway for the news topic I'm trying to get permanent magisk to work on the zte blade A5 2019, I implanted it successfully and injected the code to let it start, but seems like sepolicy is blocking it as I get avc_denied, I tried to patch it with:

adb pull /vendor/etc/selinux/precompiled_sepolicy

adb push precompiled_sepolicy /data/local/tmp

adb push magiskpolicy /data/local/tmp

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw /vendor

./magiskpolicy --load /data/local/tmp/precompiled_sepolicy

./magiskpolicy --magisk

./magiskpolicy --save /data/local/tmp/precompiled_sepolicy_magisk

exit

adb pull precompiled_sepolicy_magisk

adb push precompiled_sepolicy_magisk /vendor/etc/selinux/

Unfortunately I still got avc denied after all this but for the chronicles the two sepolicies are of two different sizes so the commands did something, I'll attach them.
[Blade General] Azaze666:
Makes sense as it is self promotion i guess, although as I already explained I only placed it here because I thought telegram was more immediate, I mean from telegram I can see notifications instantly, also it has an app, xda has an app as well but the last update is from 2021, not that recent honestly, maybe it is discontinued? I don't know I use the browser honestly and notifications from it are a problem as unless you are logged the only way to see them is emails. That said again I excuse, I clearly made a mistake

The only reason for using Play Store is to install apps of services and companies (social network, banking, stores) with the warranty that the app is genuine. If I can download them with Aurora Store, I don't need Play Store. But Google has other useful services.

Google accounts have the important feature of finding or blocking lost phones. Is it possible without Gapps?

And there are Google apps that use cloud services, such as Calendar and Drive. They provide synchronization. Every online service will have privacy issues, the difference is that other company, instead of Google, will collect my data. I don't know if they work with MicroG, but they may stop working suddenly for some days while an update isn't released. It is terrible if the user is using the app.

MicroG works and integrates ONLY with (re)Vanced YouTube , (re)Vanced YT music , tiktok revanced , while GMS works with original Gapps

I think this covers only a very small aspect of microG and not really its objectives. I'm using microG for many years and all my devices; actually since beginning of 2017 when I created this thread:

GApps free - microG is all you need!

...why do I post this? Actually, I hoped to achieve less battery drainage without Google's well known tendency to permanently collect and transmit data. However, my initial observations don't prove extended battery life but I'm going to...

xdaforums.com

My devices don't have Google Play Services or any related services installed, no synchronisation with anything by Google like contacts, calender, drive etc. and no application by Google at all except one: It's the Google Play Store in oder to allow me to update my purchased applications, to buy applications (including in-app purchases what I often do just to show a developer my appreciation but otherwise using the F-droid version if available) and to sign-up for bata programmes. Aurorastore doesn't allow for this at least not with the anonymous sign-in. My usual source for applications are Aurorastore, Auroradroid/F-droid, Github/Gitlab or the websites of trustable developers.

But there're also applications around that I want to use but that depend on Google Play Services to work. And that's what microG is for. Quotations from mircoG's XDA thread and the microG Wiki:

[APP] microG GmsCore - lightweight free software clone of Google Play Services

Introduction microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not available. If you use your phone without GAPPS this might...

Free implementation of Play Services. Contribute to microg/GmsCore development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Google might have useful services and even ostensibly for free. But actually you're paying with your data and loss of privacy. And if you're looking around you find alternatives to Google applications. I'm synchronising my contacts and calender automatically with my email account (posteo.de) and PC, navigation via OSMAnd+ (the F-droid version although I bought the Google Play Store version years ago to support the dev's). However, by principal I'm not using Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram etc. but alternatives like Signal, Conversations/XMPP, Threema and Mastodon. And I don't do any banking or NFC payment by my Android devices and will never do.

TL;DR: For years already not missing the Google Play Services at all.

[General Topics] V0latyle:
As we have seen many of these questions posted around the forum lately, I thought it would be helpful to address this issue directly.

What is FRP?

FRP is Factory Reset Protection. It is an anti-theft measure intended to prevent the use of a device if it has been factory reset (data wiped) outside a trusted environment.

How does FRP work?

It "locks" the device to the Google (and/or Samsung account) that was registered on the device when it was reset, if the device was not reset properly.

Let's address what "trusted" means:

Trusted: Device security has been unlocked by means of password, passcode, etc

Untrusted: Device has not been unlocked

In this context, the device must be factory reset in a "trusted" enviroment - by initiating factory reset via System Settings in Android. If the device is reset via recovery mode, this is considered "untrusted" because the device was not unlocked using a passcode/pattern/etc.

If the device has been signed into a Google account, and is factory reset in an "untrusted" environment, FRP will be enabled.

I want to factory reset my device. How do I prevent FRP from activating?

The best way to do this is through System Settings. Depending on the device, it's usually under Settings > System > Reset Options or similar. The idea here is that you initiate the factory reset while the device is unlocked.

An alternative is to remove all Google accounts registered on the device as well as all screen locks before performing a factory reset. In this case, it shouldn't matter whether factory reset is done via system settings or recovery mode, but to be safe, it is advisable to reset the device through System Settings.

Samsung devices

: Remove your Samsung account (if you registered one), then make sure you disable the Samsung Reactivation Lock. Go to Settings > Security, and disable Reactivation Lock or Find my mobile.

My device is FRP locked. What can I do?

The only "one size fits all" solution to this problem is to unlock the device with the original account information that was on it when it was reset. If you don't have contact with the previous owner of the device, this may prove difficult. In this case, I suggest seeking a refund from the seller.

Samsung users, see this thread.

How can I avoid purchasing a FRP locked device?

Make sure you buy phones/tablets from Swappa, as devices are required to be properly factory reset before being listed.

Buying a device on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Alibaba, etc is NOT RECOMMENDED because you are essentially buying the device "as is", and you run the risk of being scammed by disreputable buyers.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] Hamidxa:
It's only shortcoming (and a damned crucial one at that) is the lack of RAM.

Why in God's name would they limit this device to only 64 MB in a world of 128+ MB devices?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] worwig:
I believe they started designing in a world that had WM 5.0. It got to market as 6.0, then 6.1, came along, which sucks up more ram. If the design had started 6 months later, my bet is that it would have 128meg.

Console yourself in the fact that you have longer battery life. The extra 64M of Dram does eat more battery.
