Hi;
On Meizu MX4 Pro Android 5.1.1 Flyme 6.2.0.0G, I cannot start Engineering mode using the "*#*#3646633#*#*".
After dialing this, nothing happened, it just removed the dialed number after pressing the last "*"
Already tried with Developers option disabled and enabled. Phone is rooted.
Info testing "*#*#4636#*#*" is working correctly.
Is there any other option or is there an option to unlock the access to the Engineering mode?
Is the only way to do that using the "MTK Engineering Mode" apk? Is there any advanced apk for rooted phones with this capability?
Thank you.

Hi. I am trying to unlock more LTE basebands on my Meizu mx4 PRO, and early in the prosess i am getting stuck because i have to change the USB from AP to CP. And to do that i have to enter a hidden USB Settings menu, wich normally is a code *#0808# in the dailer, but not on meizu,
So is there somone out there that knows how to enter this menu on a Meizu phone?
Thanks alot in advance
I think this code is only for LG devices.
Yo can try to use "Activity manager" app to look for hidden menus.
What are you planning to do to unlock more lte networks?

Hello all,
I'm in possession of a Huawei P8 Lite of which the owner lost the passphrase. The question is whether the photos on the device can still be recoved. The bootloader of the device is currently locked. Debug mode is not enabled (nor is my computer authorized).
I was hoping that it would be possible to unlock the bootloader (which supposedly does not trigger a factory reset on this model?) - and then install a custom recovery from where I could backup the pictures. In order to unlock the bootloader, I would need IMEI-1 + IMEI-2 and the S/N. I was able to obtain one of the IMEIs by typing *#06# on the emergency call screen. Is there a way to obtain the other codes somehow (perhaps via fastboot)? Once I obtain the necessary information, my assumption is that I would be able to get an unlock code from Huawei after which I can unlock from fastboot. (Or does OEM unlock still need to be enabled from the developer options in Android?)
Edit: seems like the S/N is shown when connecting in fastboot mode and listing "fastboot devices".
Edit2: seems like obtaining the IMEI through the emergency call functionaltiy combined with the S/N is enough: I modified the "Product ID Generator" tool to include the "ALE-L21" model, and now it generates valid Product IDs that can be used on the Huawei website to obtain an unlock code.
Alternatively, I've noticed that there's an "emergency data backup" mode on this model, which I accidentally entered. I was hoping anyone knows more about this mode (note that this is different from the fastboot & rescue mode). I got booted into this mode because somehow the ext4 partition failed to mount during one of the many times I rebooted the phone. This mode also allowed me ADB access - however, this was a rescue OS which did not actually contain the user data. I would like to attempt to boot into this mode again, gain root access via a kernel exploit, and either read out the unlock code from /dev/block/mmcblk0p** or directly copy the media onto an SD card. Does anyone know how to "trigger" booting into this mode? The kernel code for the p8 lite seems to have a flag "CONFIG_FEATURE_HUAWEI_EMERGENCY_DATA" which enables this feature.
Pointers welcome
Note, I'm not desperate to recover the data - but this has become more of a "challenge" I'd like to solve.
Edit: I was able to unlock the bootloader with details obtained from the device. Unlocking the device did not initiate a wipe. Now it comes down to installing a recovery image and pulling the data

Now simply install twrp, connect to PC and you will be able to see all the files in Explorer

With twrp you can delete lockscreen specific files to remove lock

If you think about this, you can see how easy it is to unlock a phone (also for bad purposes...)
Agreed, I'm surprised that Huawei didn't force a device wipe before allowing OEM unlock. Especially because you can obtain all the details you need from the phone to obtain an unlock code on the Huawei website.
I indeed ended up installing TWRP and remove the password.key file to remove the lock
Hello, anyone know how to enter the engineer mode of our zte with android 7.1, I can not even enter with the new launcher
Hi,
I want to install a custom ROM in my Note 4 and upgrade from Android 6.01 to Android 11, and I know that the first step is to unlock the bootloader to avoid issues later on in the process.
I've researched different ways of doing it, and this is what I found:
1. Enable the OEM unlocking option in the phone.
The phone does not have the option to enable OEM unlocking in the developer options of the phone.
2. Go to download mode (starting phone with Power+Home+Vol Down keys).
At this point 3 options should appear. One of them being Press Vol Up to enter Device unlock mode. Well, only 2 options appear and the one missing is Enter
Device unlock mode.
3. Start in Recovery Mode, then select Enter Fastboot.
I started the phone using Power+Volume up+Home to enter Recovery Mode, and a menu presented with several options which should have included the
Enter Fastboot option, but the option is missing in the menu.
4. Use your PC to issue adb+fastboot commands.
I successfully connected the phone to the PC and tried to issue the corresponding commands using adb and fastboot. Adb commands work well. Fastboot
commands do not "see" the phone. (just in case I've tried several different drivers)
At this point I've run out of options, and everything points to the "hard-to-believe" fact that this phone doesn't have the fastboot mode.
Is it possible that the phone does not have a way to unlock the bootloader? or at least checking that the bootloader is unlocked in a way that leaves no doubt about it? (I can't risk bricking the phone based on the assumption that the bootloader is factory unlocked)
I will really appreciate any help in working this sort of mystery out.
Thank you!!

If your phone is exynos, just factory data reset and go to download mode and flash TWRP.

Thank you for your answer!
It is Exynos indeed.
Have you tried this in a similar situation? or in case you haven't, could you please explain how you are certain that this will work well?
Because it is difficult to ignore the large number of warnings about going on with the flashing without being sure that the bootloader is unlocked.

Hello, I'm using exynos as well, just like he said just install a compatible TWRP then flash a custom rom you want
