(this is android 13, 23, i dont want to root this phone)

Hey, I bought a used phone, everything works but factory reset is disabled (the seller had already done factory reset but i want to do it myself now and in future),it is greyed out in settings and not even appearing in recovery mode, Can I use adb to factory reset, where the usual methods as signing out all accounts have failed ?

When I use the recovery command in adb shell, it says "/system/bin/sh: recovery: inaccessible or not found"

From the site https://blog.deanwild.co.uk/android-factory-reset-via-adb-intent, I found command "adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR -n android/com.android.server.MasterClearReceiver" again gives "Broadcasting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR flg=0x400000 cmp=android/com.android.server.MasterClearReceiver }

[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Return it. Or get them to unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] sssnyn:
Thank u. I returned it. The phone was shady as it had samsung finance which would come back after unintalling(maybe paranoid). Thanks to u I got skeptical.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] aciupapa:
It was most likely MDM locked and bypassed. You could have tried flashing the stock rom from odin (which is safe and does not trigger knox), but i imagine MDM locks down download mode too. It's a good thing you returned the phone as it may be either stolen or locked down with some surveilance software in the MDM center
[Samsung Galaxy S23] sssnyn:
I redid the imei check, it turned out it was reported lost/stolen. The seller had previously shown me the imei results from the official site, it passed(I was reading the imei to him). Turns out he had (might) shown the result of some other check(REGISTRATION STATUS, which has very similar looking results) on the imei website (I do not know if he had done it knowingly). I m just glad I got the money back. I had re-met to get my last few bucks.

Would love to have easy unlock. That was one of the reasons I always rooted my phone was to enable that in Pixel Xpert. Not that I am unrooted and my bootloader locked I am looking for solutions for some of the things I was able to accomplish with root.

[Red Magic 8 pro] Ne1d:
I have a Redmagic 8 Pro that lost its fingerprint after the OS9 CN upgrade. I followed the instructions on the forum to get the fingerprint calibrated again but I encountered the following problem:

After I used QFIL to flash OS6 V2.36, then locked the bootloader and went through the steps to activate the device, I entered *#9959# on the keyboard and was taken to Factory Test to calibrate the fingerprint.

1. First I press the "Start" button, the "Next" button will light up and the message "Put the FLESH FLAT" will appear on the screen.

2. I put my finger on the fingerprint sensor but there is no response. After a while the device will notify "0x61 Flesh or Chart Down/up Timeout"

3. I continue to press "Next", at this time the screen brightness is increased (it seems to be the maximum brightness but when I put my finger on the fingerprint sensor it still has no effect and will message "CALC _GAIN_COLLECT 0X60 Test Timeout"

I don't know of any options to solve this problem. Do you have any way to fix it, please show me. Thank you very much
[Red Magic 8 pro] Zxalilh:
I think the sub-board(bottom board) might be the problem. Does the phone still charge?
[Red Magic 8 pro] Ne1d:
Nó vẫn đang được sạc bình thường ạ
[Red Magic 8 pro] Zxalilh:
Could you try flashing stock for your device? Even if it is technically the "same device", there are many variants that use different components.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Ne1d:
mình đã sử dụng QFIL để quay lại v2.36 nhưng vẫn không có tác dụng, bất kể phiên bản nào cũng không gặp lỗi này
[Red Magic 8 pro] Zxalilh:
I get it now. The sub-board of the phone is broken or something is stopping it from working. The Redmagic 8 Pro has a separate port flex cable which explains why it still works. Do you have any way to fix it?
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Hello. This is a question for during the days when my phone was soft-bricked.

I just wanted to know, why does deleting com.miui.powerkeeper and other system apps bootloop Xiaomi devices? During the times I was not able to use my phone, I managed to reboot the device and it bootlooped. Why does deleting system apps do this when uninstalled?

It's so annoying when you try debloating via adb shell and delete that app only to find your phone soft-bricked when you try to start it.
[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
Because those apps runs simultaneously with MIUI/HyperOS itself. I'm not sure which part requires it, it could be required by the framework-res, SystemUI, or managed by the ramdisk in the kernel which will make your device soft-bricked if you trying to remove it from the system.

Edited:

As an additional information, maybe you can disable it instead of remove it completely by using adb shell:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.powerkeeper
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
Well it was during the days my phone was bricked. I now have PE and those terrible MIUI apps such as com.miui.msa and Services and feedback are gone.
[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
@planeboy Mentioning you here incase you missed my edited post above.
[General Questions and Answers] planeboy:
I have PE, so I don't need to do that.

However, there are some suspicious packages.

They're named com.miui.systemui and what are they doing in PE? I don't use MIUI on my device anymore, so why'd they be here? There is also a com.xiaomi one but I don't know if I should uninstall them.

[General Questions and Answers] joek78:
I am not savy with phones. I have an old Verizon Samsung SCH-U900 flipshot phone that I am hoping has some old pictures on it. When I plug it into the charger it goes to a red load screen that says V Cast Phone with a loading bar. When the bar finishes it sits for a second or two and then goes black and starts over again doing the same load bar again. Any thoughts on a remedy? It has been in a drawer for years. Can I access the data from a PC through the charge port? I have a cable but the computer does not seem to see it. I don't actually need the phone to work, I just want to pull of the old data.

I found that it I hold "END" and "9" that it will got to a white screen that says "--Download Started-- Emergency @ USB_ISR" at the top, and "Bootblock Version: u900_bb:AJ24.3" at the bottom.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You need an USB-cable what contains "data wires" to access the user-data on PC via USB, means has D+ and D- data lines.
[General Questions and Answers] joek78:
Thanks. I believe that is what I have, but since I am not positive, I just ordered one from ebay, https://www.ebay.com/itm/153449046711 . Since the phone is stuck in a boot loop is there a chance I will still be able to connect to it? Is there some certain software that can help recognize the device once it is connected but in a boot loop? Sorry for all the questions.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
The cable description mentions functionalities like Sync, Charge, and Data transfer, which are common features for USB cables. However, it doesn't explicitly state MTP support, what is the feature needed to access userdata on Android device.

My post already details the required firmware you need to flash for each variant. Follow that please
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Juleast:
Uh oh...

You should download the kdz firmware for your device and extract to restore each one by one. The G7 threads somewhere has a guide on how to unbrick.
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] acatoan:
Unbricked already. Just no imei. And now i have to stay with VM firmware (3G only) including imei edited to keep cellular alive. Not sure if crossflash to EMW firmware for come back your rom and cellular still work.

@Juleast
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Juleast:
Which variant is your phone?
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Juleast:
What was the original firmware that came with your phone? You could try crossflashing tho. The reason you don't have your IMEI is because you erased everything and I assume you didn't backup your IMEI beforehand.
[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] urover:

[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Juleast:

Yes. I did mistake eraser all partition by wrong click. Lost them all. My original is G710N - Korea version. Until now only one way to make my sim card work is have to stay on VM firmware. Tried restore imei qnc file from xda thread introduced but get null imei. Have signal but can't make a phone call or text.

Ps: look like no ROM for G7 support base on Android 9. VM firmware stop at A9. They're minimum required from Android 10. 😭

[LG G7 ThinQ  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LeviMickael:
A great rom, with good performance and very stable. I've been using it for over a month.

bug 1 - trying to uninstall an app running in the background stops the package installer. The icon does not disappear from the app drawer, when you try to open it, the system informs you that the app has been uninstalled and the package installer stops working. If you try to restart the system, the cell phone stays on a black screen, and you have to wait for the battery to discharge or remove before it turns on again.

bug 2 - with the battery below 30%, if you leave the cell phone idle for many hours, when you try to use it, the screen is black and again you have to wait for it to discharge or remove the battery for it to turn on again.

Search the Tecno website or forums for official instructions on unlocking the bootloader for your specific Camon 20 model.
[General Questions and Answers] sdsboot:
For the official unlock is needed to allow it in dev settings, but i have bootloop
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader itself might not be possible in your current state due to the boot loop.

IMO that's what you can try:

Some devices allow booting into recovery mode even when stuck in a boot loop. Recovery mode lets you perform basic functions like wiping data. Here's how to try (consult your phone's manual for specific key combinations):

Power off your phone completely (if possible).

Hold down a specific key combination (often power + volume buttons) to enter recovery mode. Consult your phone's manual for the exact combination.

If you can access recovery mode, look for options like "wipe data/factory reset" or similar. Warning: This will erase all your data.

After wiping data, the phone should hopefully boot normally. Then you can attempt unlocking the bootloader following an official guide (if available).

Hi all, this is my first time to write a post here, I need some testers for the application I am developing - WMOptimizer, it's basically a tweaking application for Windows Mobile. I know there's already some tweaking applications like XperiaTweak, Tweak2k2, and DiamondTweak for WinMo tweaking purposes, but I intended to make WMOptimizer finger friendly and visually appealing. Maybe this two enhancements are optional to most users out there, as functionalities are most important of all, but I want to test my ability of using .NET Compact Framework to make an application that is generally acceptable by the public.

I'm a international student studying in Australia Queensland University of Technology, the reason why I'm developing this application is because I want to try and sharpen my own programming skill and if possible add this into my port folio/resume, as an international student from Malaysia, a strong resume is very important, I hope to use this opportunity to strengthen my resume.

I've opened a wordpress blog for this application, http://wmoptimizer.wordpress.com/, I will post the most recent updates of this application there.

WMOptimizer v0.0.0.1 can be downloaded at my Skydrive here, please leave a comment here about the application.

It's developed in WVGA resolution, because I only have one WinMo device, Xperia X1, so it's my only option, please try the application using other WinMo devices and let me know the results and what you think about this application, thank you so so so much!

You can contact me via leaving a comment on wmoptimizer.wordpress.com or email me theoce2n@hotmail.com

[OnePlus 12] sac30756:
@nathandrake can you tell me why you chose Apatch over Magisk. Asking because I also want to root it in order unlock its performance as currently it is pathetic for playing games like BGMI. not even giving constant 60 fps in classic matches despite device being extremely cool.
[OnePlus 12] nathandrake:
Hello Sac, I would like to tell you first of all that the opinion I am going to give you is from my experience of many years rooting my devices, I am not a genius or know-it-all in this area.

I used to use Magisk on my devices but I had a lot of problems when trying to update them via OTA, sometimes trying to hide it caused the root to be lost (I don't know why) and, the biggest reason, was that it was easily detected by banking applications or games I had.

Later I started using KernelSU, more than anything to stay up to date on the root methods, and I noticed greater stability on my devices, in that there were no unexpected crashes, they survived updates and, along with some modules, easily passed the verification of root of the applications.

Yesterday was my first day using Apatch and I honestly liked it, since it combines elements of Magisk and KernelSu (it has the best of both worlds), I feel it is more secure, easier to install and, above all, it is kept updated in a regular way. more constant.

To not tell you so much and give you a good conclusion. Simply use the one you like the most or the one you have the most experience using, to date almost all modules are compatible with Magisk, KSU and APatch, so the system you use is more for taste and comfort (looking at it from a general topic and without going into more technical details). Now, modules that I recommend you have are integrityfix, playcurl and bootloop protector, the latter deactivates the root system modules in case there is a problem and thus avoids a brick
[OnePlus 12] sac30756:
I really appreciate you taking time for sharing your experience and those modules suggestions are also super helpful. Totally cleared my confusion. now, going forward with Apatch.
[OnePlus 12] Adamk14:
This guide isn't very accurate.

You will have to patch init_boot instead of boot.img unless you want to brick your device.

You cannot also use the fastboot boot command on Android 14 as this has changed.
[OnePlus 12] nathandrake:
Hello, I see your point... And I just ask you a few questions.

1. So why was my device working right now?

2. Why does the same APatch developer recommend that you use Boot and not init_boot because it can cause problems?

View attachment 6110817

fastboot command worked perfectly for me

Other users tried APatch and patched only boot.img

View attachment 6110818

As I said at the beginning, it is a guide that worked for me, you can try it or just leave it aside if you think it doesn't work, but I'm sure it worked for me without problems. Maybe you are talking about KernelSU, every root system has his proper instructions.

Greetings.

Untrue. I patch boot.img with apatch
[OnePlus 12] addsfsds:
Hello @nathandrake ! Thank you for your guide, you "convinced" me to root my new 12 using Apatch for the first time! I have a couple of questions, maybe you can help me (last rooted my op 8 in 2020!).

Do I need to "hide" bank apps or McDonald's app (it's a nightmare compared to my crappy bank app!)? Is there a feature like the old magiskhide?

Do Magisk and Apatch consume the same amount of battery? Will I save more battery life using one or another?

Thank you for your kind help!
[OnePlus 12] nathandrake:
Hi addsfsds

I'm glad to know that the guide was helpful to you in answer to your questions:

1. I understand (and I explain to you from my experience) that any method you use, whether Magisk, KernelSU or Apatch, needs a "method" to hide it from applications. Some modules that I use to hide root and root apps are:

- Hide My Applist

- Curl

- PlayIntegrityFix

With this modules my banking apps and Google Wallet are working without problems.

2. About drain battery, I don't notice any battery drain, my OP 12 lasts all day until a little after midnight. Of course, if you use modules that "change" the performance or better graphics if it can affect the device, I generally use modules for the aesthetics of the device, for specific apps, etc. In the end this may depend on what you install; whatever root system you use I think it will not use more battery until you start installing things.
[OnePlus 12] addsfsds:
Thank you so much for your kind reply!

So, if I got it right, Hide my Applist works as the "denylist" of official magisk?

Only thing I really need is adaway (so I need a systemless hosts module) and want also to try the "new" oxygen customiser that needs lsposed. Never tried lsposed before, it will be my first time. Any other modules that you suggest may be useful (like pixelify...)? Thank you
