Hi there
I have been looking for a replacement for my Moto X Pure (because I am idiot and lost it). I liked the specs and the price of the Axon7 (having an support for an external SSD won me over vrs One Plus). Anyways I should have checked here first as there is a serious limitation for my use case. I use my phone for my work. Due to the way the work policies were setup we have to enable the password for Android start up. And as some of us have found out the hard ware that option is NOT supported with the current OS on the phone. From what I have read the phone is pre-encrypted so this option was removed.
My question (I know finally) was is there any way to get the start Android password working? I heard something about the un-locked boot loader but not sure if that is the ticket. I am not sure why the folks at ZTE removed that feature/option. Without getting this option re-enabled I have no choice but to send this phone back (take advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee) and look for something else... other than that I really like this phone! As always thank you XDA members!

Hi, I was with my friends earlier and this guy kept saying how his S8 is much safer than all other droid phones due to the Samsung account thing. This got me thinking...
So by now we all know Google Lock aka FRP is easy to bypass. And I dare say Samsung lock can be bypassed the same way, although I got no knowledge in this.
Imagine he loses his device abroad and he gets both Samsung and Google locks wiped along with a recovery factory reset. Is there a way to track the phone via IMEI? Even in another country? Can he still use his samsung account to track it?
ull disclosure: I placed a few beers as a bet that I could make his phone clean within minutes if I had a USB cable and a laptop with internet connection, he agreed. Make me drunk boys.
I know this isn't a section for M6s' but xda currently seems to lack a forum for that specific phone & is the only site I can think of with people who tend to be pretty good at this stuff.
So I bought a cheap M6s from a local pawnbroker figuring by locked they meant frp locked which tends to be a simple thing to sort a bypass for (my old LG G4 that I recently accidentally crushed in a car door being an example), found it to be locked by a 6 digit pin instead which is proving harder to find a bypass for (flyme os even asks for the pin to wipe the data from the phone which is a good security feature but no help to me)
So yeah I'm just here to check if anyone has any ideas on how to potentialy bypass this as I really don't feel like going through the 1 million possible combinations of numbers. (And I'm starting to consider buying more expensive,less locked phones in future)
Hello dear people from the all knowing android community,
Today I fixed my old phone (galaxy s6 edge plus) by exchanging the battery myself (ty youtube). I wanted to do so to get back some old pictures from a brighter time & to maybe check if I still have logged in on some accounts there. I am pretty sure my fingerprint is still in the system but since its rebooted I have to use the pincode again.. Its been 3 years and I tried every combo I could think of but no success.. Anyone knows if its possible to bypass the pincode?
I'm eager to hear from you all
Regards, Ezra
Hi there,
It's been a longtime I didn't post out there.
A couple of weeks ago, I drowned my Galaxy M31 (bummer!), couldn't revive it. Being broke, back to my good old dumb-phone I use while skating (it's OK, actually).
A nice colleague of mine proposed to lend me her old Galaxy S7 she replaced a while ago by a newer device, telling the battery is a bit lazy now... Thanks to her.
In front of her, I reboot in recovery (she didn't even knew there was such a thing), factory reset the device and off we go.
Back home, I flash the last available Oreo firmware (just to be sure, with the CSC part), let it boot and... yeah, Google detects the device was reset and ask for the previous owner's account, as far as I understand.
It's OK, it is to trick robbers stealing phones and trying to flash them anew, I suppose. Got two phones robbed, encrypted and all, I hope they were f*** with mine.
I feel like... a sucker, I should have been more cleaver and probably ask her to delete the Google account it was registered to (hers, her husbands)
Can someone please tell me if it is the right way to do it right?
Never had to do anything like that: so next Monday, she sign in with her email or phone number, her Google password, the device goes on booting/configuring skipping whatever time consuming setup, up until she's able to "cancel" or delete the Google account?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
It took some time, lack of actually, to get it unlocked by my friend. The device is back to me and running Oreo on my account.
Let's root it and probably upgrade it to Lineage 17 or 18 as I did with an good ol' A300FU.
