I just installed 5.1 factory straight rom I seen where i needed to enable usb debugging and something else in developer mode. My question is how do you get to settings when the phone is at the welcome screen or wi-fi screen or verify google account screen, because thats the only screens i have had access to.
i am definetly a newbie and lost.
Hi!
Please help me to change dpi back to normal. Was experimenting with my phone and accidentally set dpi to too big. Now everything's very enlarged and keyboard is not working. Cannot enter my password. I haven't enabled developer options (USB debugging as well). However, it's rooted with twrp. Any solutions?
Restore a backup.
I've never messed with a phone before and much of the jargon is new to me, so bear with me. I am in possession of a J5 that was issued by an employer who I am no longer with and would like to see if I can use it as a secondary phone or perhaps even replace my current one, but to do this I want to factory reset it first. It has AirWatch installed and has many settings and apps inaccessible, it is extremely restricted. I have looked around on the internet and most options for factory resetting that I have came across so far involve settings being activated that I can't access, so I was wondering if anyone has any input as to what options I could try.
These are some issues I have with reset methods I have read about so far:
Upon trying a factory reset, I get the "MDM does not allow factory reset".
"Safe mode" seems to be disabled.
The google account on it was not made by me and I don't have any password for it.
No unenroll option available in Airwatch.
Can't enable automatic factory reset, it's greyed out.
A method I read about here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/solution-to-mdm-allow-factoryreset-t3327319 involves getting to the encryption settings, which I can't.
MTP USB device fails when plugged in to windows.
SmartSwitch won't connect, it just sits at the "Welcome" screen asking me to connect my device.
Odin requires USB debugging to be enabled, which I can't access from the settings menu.
Any ideas, or is it just basically a brick?
Hi all,
:crying: - Looking for a way to get my Mi Note 2 back to life!
This device has never been unlocked or ROMed before (although it has been re-flashed successfully via Xiaomi's own pushed updates).
It is running MIUI 10.0.something (cannot access menus to verify exact).
The problem
----------------
I did a standard factory reset on the phone.
Once restarted, it takes you through the normal setup screens such as 'language', 'region', 'wifi network' after which I am given the option to select "copy your data from an old phone" or "set up as new", no matter which I select, my phone goes to the next screen which shows "Checking for updates". Here it stays - endlessly...
What have I tried?
----------------------
I have tried a different wifi network but it does the same.
I have also tried selecting "copy your data" instead of "set up as new" but it does the same.
Thoughts
------------
I thought I would try to install a new stock ROM to see if that would fix the issue. However, in order to unlock with the Mi bootloader unlock tool (and then use their flashing tool), apparently to do this, I need to enable something under developer options - clearly impossible when I cannot get to any android menus.
The phone *can* be re-started into the fastboot screen but does this help me at all?
On the MIUI website I noticed the following in the tips and tutorials forum: How to install a MIUI update without unlocking the bootloader: https://en.miui.com/thread-3852597-1-1.html
The above got me slightly excited before I realised that I have no way to place a ROM into the ‘downloaded_rom’ folder in the internal storage of my device (as the article instructs). Note that the reason for this (on my phone at least) is that although a Windows explorer window does open when I connect the phone to my laptop, it is empty (i.e. you cannot see any files/folders in it). BTW - I know what causes that specific issue as that bug was present in the device ages ago - basically, the phone seems to default to be in USB charge mode and in order to see the folders in Windows Explorer, you have to go into developer options and manually change the USB mode and then change it back to MTP mode. Once that is done, you can see the files/folder structures. However, I cannot get to any developer options as I cannot get to Settings at all.
What can I do?
------------------
So my burning question is this: How can I re-ROM this theoretically 'working' device, given the above constraints?
Is there any way to do anything while the phone is in the fastboot mode perhaps?
Is there some method maybe used to recover a bricked device that I could employ here?
Thank you for any help offered!
Cheers!
we have been given a tablet from a friend that was an ex company tablet that has since been dissolved, I have tried accessing it however i don't know the pin code for it.
I accessed recovery mode and did a factory reset, and still get the same issue as the admin rights have been removed due to it being an ex company tablet so it ask me to log in with either the pin or the email address/password that only the company would have(If they were still running)
I am quite good at flashing roms via odin, however i cant get into the settings of the tablet to access developer mode to enable usb debugging.
is there anyone who can help as i'm all out of new ideas.
Many Thanks
