[Help] Factory reset

i made factory reset by going to Settings > Backup and Reset > Favtory reset. Once it was done, the keyboard didn't show up when register. i skipped all stuff and wrote my name by saying random names via mic. i installed google keyboard I had. Any idea on how to fix this ? I want to re-do factory reset again.

Hi,
Do you have a custom recovery installed ?

Yea of you don't have a custom recovery installed, best just to try factor reset again, I had the same problem once.

nope, i dont have it. Anyway, i did flash the stock rom again. My friend said that it might be the mod i installed for keyboard from Xuimod from Xposed. Maybe. Anyway it is fixed now ^^

Yes, you are right. Factory reset does not help to fix a system modding.
Only re-flashing the stock firmware may help.

Partially corrupted software, can't access developer options.. What to do?

Hello,
I am on stock 6.0.1 locked bootloader. Yesterday suddenly my software got partially corrupted. It boots fine but the status bar and on screen controls like menu button are not working. Also, clicking on build number isn't doing anything. An ota was available and I updated it but still its in the same state. Fast boot mode is accessible. I am using xt1562. Is there any way by which I can flash a full stock/custom firmware with/without rooting/unlocking my phone? I tried to download the stock recovery from github/filefactory but it keeps on getting canceled after 200mb or so. Can someone please guide me or provide me a resumeable link to 107.70 firmware? TIA
Regards

You should be albe to flash original firmware with locked bootloader, the best option is to flash exactly the same one you've currently got on your phone.
However, I'd start from installing Activity Launcher (download from playstore) and launching com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardTestActivity. It looks like yor phone is in setup mode for some reason, just like it is when you boot it for the very first time. This activity will take you through the Setup Wizard, hopefully something "clicks" in your system when you finish it and your home button functions, etc. will be restored. If this doesn't work I'd try factory reset before flashing firmware.

I have 107-70-1 but cant seem to be able to find it? The other one is not a resumeable link and downloads break in between. I will try the activity launcher and let you know. I already tried factory reset from setting and facroty mode from fastbook but it did not work.
Edit: The activity Launcher thing worked! Thanks!

First of all when you have the opportunity quickly go to the developer mode and check OEM unlock. Then you use fastboot to flash stuff and get things correct

there is also usb debbuging app on playstore to access from there..

It won't work if the phone is in setup mode and Developer's options aren't unlocked

i remember lately i had formated my phone and for some unknow reason my dev. mode wasn't showing atall.then i tryied this app and solved it.it doesn't have dev. options inside,it just opens stock devs. settings.

AFAIK you can't do it in setup mode, even with an app, because ADB access is blocked on system settings level.

ooooh yes sorry.mine was booting normally..

You were right, it was in setup mode. I was unable to install apps over the Google Play Store so I downloaded the apk of Activity Launcher, enabled "unknown sources" and installed it. I opened the activity you wrote but I got an error, so I opened the com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupExit (not sure if it was the exact name) and it was all normal again.

My bad,i didnt explain it very well.
I did that,i have seperate section called Developer Options,but when i press it settings app crashes.Bluetooth isnt working,half the stuff doesnt work,and i cant access usb debugging-

My guess is that when you did a factory reset, the additional package with the others app has been deleted.. try to flash it again.

I have got the same issue. What do you mean with "additional package"?

Did you, by any chance, flashed a custom kernel to get root?

Same thing here except after a factory reset my display settings were fine but after the set up in the settings it just crashes the app.

Stock camera freezes

My stock camera freezes whenever i open it for the first time,i have to switch modes to get it working.
as long as the camera is in memory it works fine but the moment you clear it and open the app it happens again.
I am gcam installed and is having no such issue but i prefer the stock camera.
did factory reset issue persists.
I have unlocked bootloader so i was thinking of uninstalling the camera app from adbfast tool.
should i do that?
can i install the stock camera app using the apk?
and can anyone provide the stock camera apk to try the same.
will unistalling the camera cause any issue?
any help will be appreciated
i am having the indian k20 running miui global 10.3.6

this is a software issue in global rom you have to wait for update to fix it or go for xiaomi.eu rom if you unlocked the bootloader.

I'm not sure, but i think he meant the default settings in the camera app, not whole phone?

Had same issue. Enabling location permission seems to solve it. Thanks a lot.
After en.miui.com forums shutdown it has been tough to get help.

This is what actually worked! I had no update available (miui 11.0.3), didn't want to factory reset my phone and the photo app reset didn't solve anything, but activating the location permission did! Thank you.

Stuck on 'Phone is starting' after updating to Android 12

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Is your phone rooted?

No, it's not rooted

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.

No, I still have the same issue.
Have you tried to install a launcher?

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.

I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
