Hi,
It's not my phone it's my little brother's friend's phone, he forgot his password and he asked me cuz he knows I have a little bit of knowledge in this topic.
Anyway, with a Nexus or smth where I can easily use ADB I know how to reset the phone, but I have no idea about Meizu.
It's an MX4.
I just want to factory reset it...
Thanks in advance

I have just bought a Samsung galaxy s5 from a for sale site. Seemed fully legitimate. Get home and try setting it up and I'm stuck on the screen that reads " this device I'd locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account you have already signed in to on this device to confirm it belongs to you. "
I do not know this information. And now have no way of getting the information off the owner. I have tried a couple of methods to bypass this And watched numerous videos on YouTube.
Some tutorials to remove it tell me to press "forgotten your ID or password?" Did that. Put my own samsung account. Entered the captcha and then went to the next screen. In the videos they tell you to them press my email which is highlighted in blue and then it takes you to the Web and it carries on from there. However it does not let you press the email anymore. It isn't a link or anything.
Please can someone give me some advice or help! Welcome any questions or anything. Thanks very much. Jordan.
Go in recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If not works I would suggest you to flash a new firmware through Odin.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have tried the factory reset and all that on recovery mode.
I am not the best expert on rooting or rooting. So any advice would be kuchly appreciated as I currently have no phone!! Thanks. Jordan
Seems you have bought a used S5 right ?
Are you sure this is not a lost os stolen device
As you describe de situation i`m thinking on the option Reactivation Lock o security tab.
If the old owner let this option active you will have a hard time trying to use the phone without the samsung account information.
Very much sounds like a stolen device I take it you didn't take any ID from the seller?
Might be expensive learning curve.
Peace ALL,
Hopefully someone can please help me!! I recently purchased a used OP2 off of Amazon. Phone received was in good shape and looked brand new. The problem I have however is that I can't bypass the initial set-up (I think it has something to do with Google factory Reset Protection).
Whenever the phone is in the initial setup process its asking for a gmail that was synced to the device before it was wiped--which of course I dont have access to. Is there any workaround for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
i had the same problem as i got it second hand.The thing with me was that i knew the owner.
The problem is that the previous owner wiped the device from the boot menu ( the one that looks like twrp) and not from the in menu setting.
this is why it asks for a previous mail.
I asked for his mail and password ,logged in, went to settings did a factory reset form the menu and all ok.I dont know what you could do without his mail and password.
Maybe unlock it put twrp custom rom open it and then reset it to factory settings?
Does anybody know if unlocking bootloader and flashing the stock ROM will bypass Google Device Protection (not sure if this will work as i think the OP2 is already "unlocked")?
Someone please help
I am having the same issue. I've read how you have to wait 72 hours but I am not sure if it will work.
Hi guys,
This previous night, my s7 edge went into a factory reset from itself! I saw the first screen with the country to choose..
I've lost all my pictures, videos and message or contact saved in the phone.
Maybe i had 700Mo free storage on the 32Go, but is that a reason for the phone to make a factory reset without autorization?
Could someone help me to recover my datas without putting my phone into a rooted way, don't wanna loose my warranty on it.
Thanks in advance
Zefashion
him?
i meant itself the phone
Maybe someone did a remote wipe from the Google account of the previous owner ?
you really think that? how can i prove it or see it?
I really need to recover my datas... anybody to help me please?
Try an application such as "Wondershare Phone Recovery" or "Android Data Recovery tool". Useless to say, the chances to recover all of your files is slim, but it's worth trying in my opinion.
As for how/why it happened it's hard to say but if you bought the phone from someone else, it's possible they remotely erased everything. If the phone was rooted, they could even have stolen the files from you.
if you bought the phone brand new, then it could be a software issue. If I were you, I would try to recover the files with the tools mentioned above and before reinstalling anything I would hard reset it at least once more and I would also delete cache from the Recovery mode.
So look,
I rooted my phone succesfully.
Now I want to encrypt my device using the device encryption feature. Ok.
I enter a password and it shows me an Android guy doing his job. Then I dont see anything anymore on my screen... I press volume down plus home plus power and I see this famous error: Encryption failed blabla, I need to reset my phone in order using it.
So, I dont want use the originally firmware, I need a rooted phone... I also need an encrypted phone, so my question is how can I solve it? I downloaded a legal root file and no corrupted.
Please help me, everytime I try to encrypt it I need reset it again.
Help
Bump, I need the help, this is a real issue for me, thanks.
Help
Dont want to spam but someone must have a solution for this issue...
Help
Again asking for help its a serious issue
your failure could be due to root, which causes a permissive kernel. I may be wrong with the terminology as i dont encrypt at all, nevertheless, this question is not really specific to the device, hence why nobody can actually add anything.
Try a more general forum.
Factory reset your device then encrypt. It should work then.
Once encryption is confirmed then you can root.

Go to settings, fingerprints and security, from that screen you can adjust whether or not to use pin screen. Hope that helps.

Apparently you didn't read the question..she can't get to the settings to change anything...and unfortunately my wife and now my daughter has locked their screens. and they can only be reset by doing a factory reset on them.

there a stock image flash it with twrp, that what i had to do to get around a invalid pin problem.
flash into trwp n go to data deleta any files that says lockscreen etc password pin patter
Flashing TWRP will likely cause an issue and you'd have to reset the phone as it's Android 7.
There's a way to do it by overwriting the encrypted sector that holds the lock files. Basically what that means is you'll have to spend a good amount of money on flasher box software.

can you get to the camera settings before you unpin or answer the phone might be a backdoor in that way trying to find through Google or type something you can get through there any might find it backdoor in that way
