I just received my Redmi Note 7 Global Version and started to set it up but I want to start over again from the beginning (factory reset it?). But if I do that with a hard reset will it wipe out all the things that make it the Global Version like Google Play Store and multi languages, multiple bands, etc.? Or is there some way to reset it without wiping those out? Just want to return it to how it was when I started to set it up. Thanks.

I just went ahead and reset it and it's fine. I was trying to find out how to delete this thread but didn't see it. Anyone? Thanks.

I've been offered a decent price on my note 3 and due to upgrading to the note 5 in October I'm interested.
I want to encrypt before wiping but had some questions.
If i encrypt then do a factory reset, then input his sim in and start it up, will it then ask for the encryption key before he can use it? Or does wiping it also remove the request for a key while still keeping the original data scrambled?
Also something i can't remember from before. When i have done the reset, does it give the option to turn off ready for the first boot being when his sim is in? Or does it automatically restart so i have to allow it to boot then tell it i dont want to log in my details?
Thanks guys

Why would you encrypt the phone? [emoji33]
Factory reset means you need to set up everything from beginning.

I realise the reset starts from the beginning which is fine because I'll be selling to someone else. I needed to know whether it can be turned off right after the reset so i can turn on for the first time with the new persons sim in and he can start inputting his account details from the first boot.
I want to encrypt as apparently just resetting still enables someone to recover data.

If it was me, I will reset my phone. Copy some random files like Movies or audios and Reset again.
Which rewrites the data table..
and I have never tried this Encryption

Do it 3 times or get an app for that.
I would never buy an encrypted phone without pass.
As shown in the title. I'm not sure if it's just my phone. I have a Nexus 6p but in the about phone section the model comes up Pixel XL. Is that supposed to happen? Sorry I'm not a developer and couldn't find a similar thread. The build number is showing as NMF26F.
I rooted my phone and installed Get Assistant (root) from the play store. Not sure if this app had anything to do with it. However, a couple of days ago I had to do a factory reset due to my phone bootlooping. That factory reset should have taken me back to the correct image, right?

Get Assistant edits your build.prop file. Therefore your phone 'thinks' it's a Pixel XL. That's needed to get google assistant working.
OK, thanks for the reply. I thought after the factory reset it would change that to the default.

Unfortunately it won't change back after a factory reset because there's no default backup of the build.prop file or any internal file actually. Any changes you make on a system level like that will stay after a reset. The get assistant app does have a backup and restore function for the build.prop though.
in order to get back to your original factory state, you need to flash a factory image via fastboot. you can find them here - https://developers.google.com/android/images
Hello people, I am new to this device and forum. I would appreciate any help you can give. I love the device, but I am struggling with something concerning Google Photos. It keeps getting stuck at various points in the backup process. I have searched several ways and have tried the suggestions about uninstalling updates, clearing the data cache, even purchased a new SD card... but still it is stuck. On previous phones, I have had NO problems with this at all on my previous phones. I have updated to MIUI 11 and I am using Nova Pro as my launcher. I have also tried using the Gcam mod on the phone and somehow I wonder if this is part of the issue?
Feedback please.
Solved with MIUI 11. Update and make full reset AFTER update (Settings --> About Phone --> Backup and reset --> Clean all data --> All).
Worked for me. If not, i dont know (try with another account?).

Thanks for the info! So, were you having similar issues before you did the reset? I have already updated to MIUI Global 11.0.4 but I have not tried the reset yet.
To help with this conversation... it seems that if I remove all the Google Photo updates, it behaves correctly, BUT when I allow the app updates to go through, the backup issue returns.
I will try the reset suggestion soon and report back.
To keep this discussion moving along, here is an update... I did the full reset after I had already upgraded to MIUI 11, however, the same issue persists for me. If I allow Google Photos to update past what was originally installed, the app gets stuck again. I can uninstall all updates and clear the caches and it will start working OK again. This is a pain and the issue should not exist. Let me emphasize that the devise is NOT rooted and is all original. I have installed Nova Prime launcher from the Play Store and my usual apps.
Anyone else have ideas - outside rooting and using a custom ROM?
Ok, to add a little more... I removed Nova as I wonder if there is some incompatibility with how it works with MIUI. It was acting a bit odd at times and "often" it would loose its ability to display notification badges. It would say that I needed to enable notification access, but I am 100% sure that it was already allowed. I would then turn that permission off and back on and it would start working again. So, I have gone to the less custome "Poco" launcher which is sup[posed to be a more official Xaiomi product.
Hello everyone
Today I factory reset my galaxy s7 edge and it did not turn up with android 6, instead I found it on android 8.0.0 with September 2019 security patch, I didn't update my phone after the reset, I did the factory reset from the settings menu "general management" factory data reset, I had to reset it cuz my storage was always full after I deleted everything from it, it was still full and when I check storage settings, device memory, I see "files" occupate 15 GB I tried diskusage app and cleaning cache apps and everything else but couldn't find them hidden files so I factory reset my device and it did go well since I ended up on android 8, what is the issue here ? Can someone please explain this to me please ? Thanks in advance

If ota update is enabled, he can download the update and store it and when you reset the device, he installed this update. This is the single most plausible explanation in this case.

Another thing that confuses me is why it chose September 2019 patch update and not another one?
is there anyway to go back to android 6 without flashing the phone? I mean just using the factory reset option and did anyone else get android 8 after factory reset his galaxy s7?

This was probably the most recent version that was stored on your device. Android 6 only custom roms of portals of other devices, because due to the bootloader block, you will not be able to install anything other than the stock version for your device.

Thank you very much, much appreciated it ?
Tried toggling the switch not helping. Reboot also didn't solve. Anyone have any idea how to fix?
Update:
Ok. After my 2nd factory reset, auto rotate is back working!
What changes? First time setting up phone(1) and after 1st factory reset; i went with restore from old phone.
2nd factory i decided tp setup new and not restoring any data or config from recent back-up from old phone.
My old phone is a Pixel 6 Pro btw if it matters. I noticed by restoring from old phone, the glyph switch on notification quick panel is not there, but by setting up anew without restoring, it is there.
Did you try to do factory reset? That's the last step before writting to support i think (in this case)
Manually make it go landscape i.e in YouTube will rotate it, and move back the phone to portrait will rotate back the display.
But from portrait to landscape won't auto rotate. I guess I really need to factory reset it. I'll update again the outcome

I'm from Malaysia. So VoLTE/5G restrictions were the issue.
Yeah I know I can root which I did or install Hentai OS ROM and relock bootloader but I'm too old to still manually flash update using PC every month. Haha
