If it is not rooted or with recovery, I don't think so.

Hello Everyone, my name is Joe. I have my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running KitKat 4.4.2 with Towelroot ROOT. I have all the essentials, Titanium Backup(Free), Superuser, Busybox, etc. I just recently downloaded an app the let me unlock my Bootloader. It is called EZ Unlock or something of the sort. It successfully unlocked it, but using that Triangle app to reset my flash counter, it warned me about possible bricking after a reboot. Well, long story short, after a successful reset of the counter, and an attempt reboot into recovery, nothing. Screen doesn't light up, no ROM access, no Recovery, no download mode, nothing. So I tried to write a debrick.bin to my SD and fix it but that didn't do anything besides make the flash light up for a second as the battery was inserted. Is there anything that can be done? Should I bull**** Geek Squad and say I droped it and it didn't turn on so I can get it replaced altogether? (Lol) I'm am willing to try anything. I have backups of my user data on the SD from Titanium Backup that are now stored on my laptop as I was warned of corruption when writing the debrick file. So yea, please, anyone know of any methods? Greatly appreciate it hence I don't have a backup phone and have to wait until November of '14 to get a upgrade.
First off, this is not my phone, but my dad's, so I'd really like to avoid a factory reset. Also, the phone isn't rooted.
He managed to install some Wifi Tools app, which is a quite an ugly virus. Even the reviews say what an absolute crap of an app this is. Its even messing with the phone's mobile network connectivity.
So, the issue is, I can't remove this app. I can go into Device admins, and select deactivate on the bottom right part of the screen , but I can't even select 'Deactivate' in the window that pops up afterwards. Even if I tap furiuosly on the screen, nothing happens. After that, the settings app is all messed up. It doesnt react to most inputs, like it's frozen, or I can only scroll, but can't enter any subsections. 'Curiously', I can't enter the Security subsection if I don't restart the Settings app, even if everything else works.
How the hell do I remove this hellspawn? I know I can't do it through ADB because it has Admin privileges. Admin privileges that can't be revoked.
Hello,
Your options are:
1)root the device and then you can get rid of the app.
2)use the factory reset option in system settings to reset the device.
3)boot to stock recovery and use the factory reset and wipe cache option in recovery.
4)the last option you won't need but you can restore the stock firmware via whatever flashtool the device uses.
If you are trying to avoid resetting the device to prevent losing data then try rooting the device and just use root access to remove the app. Depending on the rooting method you won't lose any saved data.
If you don't like either of those options, try posting your question in the forum linked below.

Thanks for the answer, but I already solved it. I rooted the phone with Framaroot and then nuked it from the phone with Titanium Backup. Afterwards, I locked down root access/rights as best as I could. Better safe than sorry heh.

You can remove root access if you think its too risky for your dad, if you think he may at some point make a big mistake because of root access I would recommend removing root to avoid getting the device in a situation that nay not be fixable. If you need root later you can re root it like you did this time, you may can even go a step further and install a custom recovery and use it to create a nandroid backup, then if at some point something goes wrong you can just restore the nan droid and be back to how everything was when the backup was created. You might even be able to make the backup then remove root and if you need root back you can restore the band to is and have root to do what needs to be done. Just a few options for you, whatever you think would work best.
does anyone happen to know where frp data is stored on the phone? i bought a used one and the previous owner didnt reset properly so im trying to get rid of this idiotic stupidity before i give up and refund it. he didnt relock it when he sold it so i was able to install twrp and have basically full control of the phone, i just need to know where everything is stored so i can get rid of it. id like to just clear it out rather than doing that 50 step convoluted bypass because i dont want any problems in the future.
Probably should have put a question mark on the title to keep it from looking like a solution. Whoops lol.
Either way I've found a bypass, literally just deleting the setup apk. I've been using my new phone all day rebooting and flashing and installing, and I haven't had one single problem. Of course this requires root or twrp or some other method of rw /system access, but if you can somehow get into settings during setup to enable oem unlocking so you can unlock the bootloader and flash twrp, then you're golden. When I get home I'm going to investigate if this is temporary or permanent (as in do you need to remove setup.apk every reset or does adding your account overwrite ownership).
Good Day,
I pulled out my Phone out of My pants and all My Pictures are gone since it formatted itself.
I tried to recover but it couldt find anything without root.
If i root with Magisk then it will overwrite alot of Data because of the new Rom.
Is it poissible to only unlock bootloader so i can use disk digger or does anyone know how i can deep scan my device with or withought root?
Normal Software didnt work.
Thank you very much for you Response.

I don't know if this is a dumb question guys but i just want to know what is the best method or procedure to backup a phone? I mean if ever i may factory reset my phone and i want to backup my apps, phone settings, pictures, videos, files etc with just a single click or two, somewhat like that. Then restore everything with just a single click also. Thanks
A NANDroid Backup what requires Android is got rooted and ADB is successfully installed is the best method, IMO.
