I have MotoG-Xt1033 Kitkat, yesterday i unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, installed xposed framework, etc.. I am seeing few settings changed/dissapeard.
1. Before bootloader unlock, there was an option called "Battery saver" in battery settings, but now i didnt see the "Battery saver" option.
2. In storage settings, we can disable/uncheck MTP option permanently by "USB Computer connection". But after bootloader unlocked/rooted, when I disable the option, it automatically re-enabled whenever I reconnect the USB cable to my PC.
This is few changes I noticed, If I come across any changes, I will update it here..
Is these changes are expected after bootloader unlock/root or Did I messed up anything?
Is anyone facing the same issue?
Any suggestions, or help would be more appriciated. Thanks.

Maybe it has something to do with xposed framework. At least for the battery saver option.
I also unlocked my phone and the option is still there.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T330NU, Region XAC)
Odin version: 3.09
Root file: CF-Auto-Root-milletwifiue-milletwifiue-smt330nu.tar.md5
First, I did a factory reset from Settings>General>Backup and reset>Factory data reset. Before this, I had developer mode enabled and the "allow USB debugging" option checked, but I forgot to redo these steps after factory resetting.
Then I proceeded to root it and everything went as normal, I've been using it for a few days now and I actually only just realized that I had forgotten to enable USB debugging mode before rooting. So now I go to the settings of my already-rooted tablet, developer mode is of course disabled so I enable it, I see that the USB debugging checkbox is unticked so I tick that.
How come the rooting didn't go horribly wrong and brick my tablet as it seems to have for most other people?
So far I've been removing bloatware, using screen mirroring, browsing, managing files, using SuperUser, installing and using a bunch of apps from the Play store, and everything works perfectly. But I'm thinking about re-rooting with all the proper steps; I've never made this mistake before and if I leave it as it is, what kind of problems might I run into later?

i recommend installing a recovery and taking a nandroid regularly.
always transfer backups to pc
I have looked through this forum and in the net as well, but no one have seemed to face this particular problem. To put it bluntly, I do not have a phone settings right now! By "settings", I mean the setting where you can scroll down to "About Phone" and click android version repeatedly till it says "You are now a developer". It all happened when I saw a notification saying "This app can harm your phone - Settings" and an option to disable. I was unable to slide this notification off, and while trying, I accidentally clicked the disable option. Nothing happened, just the notification disappeared. I panicked and restarted the phone. Immediately after that, I saw that my settings icon is gone. I cannot go to settings from the pull down drawer, neither I can find it in my apps. It was there before. My phone is not rooted and not updated, and the first thing to do, I think, is to do a factory reset. I am backing up files now. I am also reading Heisenberg's How-To Guide For Beginners, but as a noob, I am scared that I will mess up. If anybody can help me with some advice, how to get the phone settings back (preferably without rooting, but if push comes to...you know!), please do. Also, if I long press home button, and try to click "Themes", it says "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped working". I instlled Nova launcher, but phone settings are still missing. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
Factory Reset worked !

tht is bizzare.. coz after looking at what you wrote there, the exact same thing happened to me an hour ago! im now also without a setting icon and cant find a solution!
it happen to me too today.
I just had the same misfortune as you did.
I'm pretty sure the culprit is "Google Settings". It kept giving me a notification saying that "settings" is harmful, do you want to disable it? I accidentally clicked YES after a few weeks ;( .
Guys please help. I had disabled USB debugging a few days back and forgot to turn it back ON.
I'm really stuck now. Also I can't do a factory reset because I have important data in my mobile and I'm unable to take a backup. My device is a OnePlus One and its not rooted. It has TWRP recovery installed.
Please help.
this happened to both my phones too. how were you able to do a factory reset? doesn't do anything for me when I hold power and volume down. takes me to a black screen.

If u have TWRP then just go to advanced wipe and select only data, cache and system and then wipe this will not any internal data on sd card and then flash u r desired rom.

This did it! It fixed my phone back to 100%. I initially thought it was a storage memory error or other h/w related issue.
Very strange that the google settings app suddenly started detecting 'Settings' app as being harmful on 4.4.4 Kitkat now after 3 years.
I have now permanently disabled app verification. Google Settings app -> Security -> Verify Apps -> disable 'Scan device for security threats'
Thanks to all for sharing. I also did one small trick after reading somewhere in this forum (forgot where....sorry). See, even after Factory reset, the notification was coming that settings app may harm your device. So I long pressed the notification (carefully, not to hit any action button) and clicked ignore
Also with me
I didn't find my settings option anywhere.
Forgot my pattern, Android Device Manager is of no use. I guess I've disabled android USB debugging. Can't access my settings now. Bootloader is locked. Is there any way to unlock my phone without losing data?

No, not unless you suddenly remember your pattern.
Odd that ADM is of no use unless you forgot your Google credentials... That would be a lot more serious, because if you factory reset to get around the pattern lock, you will be faced with Factory Reset Protection, which if you were current, has no working bypass on this device.
I was looking for something:
https://www.google.com/search?clien...8#channel=fs&q=fastboot+turn+on+usb+debugging
and noticed these 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShjJ3KkH6_I
http://www.allmobitools.com/2014/10/android-multi-tools-v102b-all-pattern.html
So I got a Samsung galaxy s7, and I left it at my mothers home when I had to take care of my grandmother. 3 months later, I seem to have forgotten the pattern I used and am locked out of the phone. I've tried a few different solutions to my problem and I can't seem to find a method to unlock the phone without losing all my data. Additionally I don't have TWRP installed and the usb debug mode is not enabled, I also believe airplane mode is on. My phone however is not carrier locked, if that makes any difference. Is there a way to bypass the pattern instead with finger print scan?
I've tried:
- Remotely unlocking the phone via wifi and "findmymobile.samsung.com" for whatever reasons my phone isn't connecting to wifi and I can't get it to unlock. Is there a way to enable wifi when its locked?
- Using "Aroma File manager", unfortunately I get an error message "signature verification failed" from my understanding I can disable this via "TWRP". However because my phone is locked I can't install it. Is there away to remove signature verification another way?
What option do I have left?

Thank you for your response. I am aware you can use twrp to bypass a locked screen. The issue is, how do i install it if i'm already locked out and don't have usb debug mode turned on. Is there still away to install it?

You dont need usb debugging on. Just boot to download mode and flash twrp with odin
Have tmobile oneplus 8 and when trying to unlock with the cust-unlock command it gives me an error as shown in the image attached. made sure that the oem unlocking switch is enabled in the settings
This only happens when you didn't enable OEM unlocking, I know you said you did, but I'd double check. Boot the phone up, go to Settings -> About phone and tap "build number" a bunch of times til the message pops up.
Than go to Settings -> System -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlocking.
Then repeat the same steps in fastboot to unlock.
Restarted my phone turned it off. Then restarted again and turned it on. And still no luck

Are you on stock T-Mo firmware, and have taken all OTA updates? I saw you said in another thread that after using MSM tool "the software update button is greyed out in the settings". If that's still the case...well it shouldn't be lol. I would MSM again back to OOS10, than immedietly try booting the phone up enabling OEM unlocking and try to unlock the bootloader again.

Yeah. The button was greyed out but my phone still installed an update. Gonna try to use msm again and see
Curious if you found a solution to this one? Been fighting a similar situation, not the MSM tool just but the unwillingness to let me run the unlock bin token.
