Is there any way to remove the automatic activation that pops up when using the Verizon RUU as a base for a custom ROM?
I'd like to either remove it completely or make it easy to bypass.
Thanks!

Is there any way to secure android like ios7. In case if i loose my phone then no one can use it. Is it true a hard reset will remove my pattern or password? My phone is non rooted. Can someone install custom recovery too?

There is not fool poof way to prevent this. Even on IOS7 the security can be gotten around. Best advice is to make sure you are backing up your files.
Google does have a remote wipe option built into the Android OS. That is your best bet.
There is no full proof way to make render unusable, but you can call up your carrier and ask them to blacklist the IMEI so they can't use sim cards with it anymore.
You could however, protect your data. Do this by: encrypt your device, stock recovery, disable USB debugging, lock the bootloader. At least with this, if the device is stolen, if they don't know how to flash factory image, they'll need to enter the encrypted password to boot into the phone and can't copy over your datas.
You should also look up the app Cerberus, which with root can survive through factory reset (as long as they don't overwrite or format the "system" partition).
I had a question, I rooted my tmobile s5 with odin and cwmod and afterwards my lock screen settings were changed so that pin and password are the only two ways to unlock it. The other settings are there but they're grayed out so that I can't select it. Any ideas on why this could be? Bad root? I need to flash another ROM (I kept it stock btw)
I used the original zui11.5 rom only because of the "position travel" app (I must be the only person in the world who used this, but had a reason) and to receive updates from the manufacturer. but I saw that the custom roms were well evolved and I decided to test
after unlocking the bootloader the android bootloader it brick and didn't start anymore, still managed to install twrp, however whenever i install a new rom, at the end of the process i need to mount the folders manually before restarting (so far without problems).
however when I try to enter a security password the following message appears: "screen lock was already changed try again with the new screen lock"
I've done everything including installing the original rom 11.5.381 by twrp but I still can't put the password
with the bootloader unlocked qpst also does not install any rom
I thought of installing some version of zui with android 9 to try to solve, but I didn't find any that install by twrp
has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?
Has anyone been able to figure out a way to use the screen lock again? I've been using no screen lock all this time, and now it's starting to affect me as some banking apps force me to use some screen lock
I currently use rom bliss but I can change it to whatever the blocking works
So I have a Google Locked can't reset phone. I can quite easily use Odin and flash it with a different ROM, but I wanted to know how I would flash it with a custom ROM yet I don't have access to the storage? Is there a way for me to bypass the Google Lock? It's an updated phone and even using the About option is greyed out.
Thanks
hi guys,
Ive been using stock rom since i purchased this phone.
Thinking of flashing some custom roms. but i have few questions in my mind. Hope you guys can advice me on that.
- Can i use a custom rom without Root ? My interntion is to use banking apps without any problem. Not really interested in in using Magisk to hide the root status.
- i have a manually enabled call recording on my Oneplus6T. Do i get this feature working on any custom rom ?
- I undestand that i need to unlock my bootloader to flash custom roms, so in case if i want to revert back to stock rom in future , will it break any security mechanism of the phone?
Please advise.
- Yes you can run a custom rom without root. You can even lock your bootloader with a custom ROM (WARNING, you can just lock your bootloader, it's a whole process, DO NOT just do this. Research first!). That being said, I would venture to say many banking apps would take issue with custom ROMs even if you aren't rooted. However I don't use them, so I can't say this for certain.
- Yes call recording works in (some) custom ROMs.
- Unlock your bootloader, won't harm anything. You can always go back to stock. If you want to completely go back to stock you should be able to just run the MSMTool and it should put your phone back exactly as it was out of the box. It reloads the stock software, and relocks the bootloader.
