I bought my phone used off of Swappa. The phone was initially a stock rooted phone. I did a factory reset, then flashed to NK4 stock then rooted. For some reason it seems to have retained the previous owners fingerprints and backup password so I cannot change them. Is there any way around this? I'm assuming I probably have to go into recovery and do a full wipe, but I'm hoping to avoid that. The seller isn't responding so seems like that isn't an option either.
That ore a kdz flash with total wipe
Will factory resetting my newly unlocked phone kill the unlock code and relock it? Reason that I want to do a factory reset is because my phone is getting really laggy and slow.
So a mate of mine found an A5 recently without any identification on it. Thought he might as well keep it himself else it'll just be useless.
Problem is the phone's stuck in the initial setup so he asked me to unlock it. My plan was to install TWRP, wipe everything completely and flash the firmware again. I can't get to the settings to access the OEM unlock though. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader and/or get TWRP on there so I can completely wipe the phone?
Same situation here... How did it turned out?
If I need to factory reset fully my rooted 8Pro (Android 10), do I need to pay attention to anything? I dont have any saved fingerprint. I dont use TWRP. Thx!
Remove all password's/pin's.
Factory reset wipe All in youre phone. Save what you like in pc.
You will loose root.
And if you like to get youre phone like new (out of the box), you need to relock the bootloader.
Hello there, I'm using OnePlus 6t on OOS 10, somehow my kid changed the lockscreen pin and now forgot.
I've read multiple threads and asked a lot of people, but there seems no method to bypass the lockscreen pin.
I'd some important files which I couldn't backup/ not until my last backup.
Is there any way possible to recover my files after a hard reset as that's the only alternate i can think of without bypassing lockscreen without root.
FYI: Bootloader locked, currently locked, haven't hard reset yet, usb debugging off.
Nope, if you hard reset you lose everything. User storage is encrypted with a per-session key that is wiped when a reset occurs meaning everything on the phone becomes useless garbage the moment that key is lost. If you have adb enabled and have authorized your computer once before you might be able to pull files off using that but otherwise you might be screwed
The lock screen is designed to keep people out, wouldn't be much use if it let people exfiltrate data whenever they wanted
Don't even think you'll be able to get the pin off the phone. When you reset Google asks for the old pin used in the device.
If USB debugging is off, I don't even think you can flash stock firmware onto the device either.
You're pretty much screwed.
The best way to do is MSM tool. If you don't know the password your can't even get in to recovery mode( required password). By doing that all data will be gone.
