Hi,
I cheaply acquired a China 7"-tablet (Amoi Q50). Unfortunately, it is has a lockscreen activated and ADB not active. The former owner claims to having forgotten, anyway, he does not want to help...
The plan is now to access recovery and wipe user data. But...
I feel I tried every hardkey combo to access recovery, but any hint would be valuable and I will try again. (I have Power, Vol+, Vol- and a small reset knob on the back). I managed to access Android safe mode with Vol- during pwer up, but that has the lockscreen as well.
Is there a software (PC-side) way to access recovery mode or to wipe all user data without ADB active?
Would it help to force the tablet into download mode (like in Google?q=how-to-save-a-bricked-phone-with-paper-clips-and-pencil-graphite; yet I would use resistors)? What would I do then?
Help appreciated

good day today 11/19/2014 updated my android to 5.0 and when I called and I was entering the password, did not'd just enter the old version 4.4.4 now has no form of password to recover and even hard reset, and now what do I do? Please help me!
I'm not sure i understood your problem, but if you're stuck, and want to factory reset. Follow these steps
1- turn off your phone
2- press and hold Power+Volume DOWN to enter bootloader
3- with volume keys navigate to Recovery then press power to confirm
4- you'll get an android with red triangle, don't panic, press Power+Volume UP (you have to press them at the same time, it might not work from the first time)
you'll then enter stock recovery, where you'll find an option to factory reset.
Hello, I have a big problem, I have a Plum Axe Plus 2, android 6.0, I wanted to root it so I unlocked the bootloader, (just that haven't root it yet), everything was working fine until I restarted the phone and it wouldn't pass from the logo screen, so I press volume down + power button and it appeared what I think is a virus (here is the video: youtube.com/watch?v=b18iDZZi0QA, I connect it to the PC and it recognize it, I could see the storage and everything so I manage to enter the recovery mode putting the adb reboot recovery command, I reset it and well I thought everything was fine now but when I power up the phone it stay on the logo again, I tried to enter the recovery mode but the same virus pop up, I connect it to PC and I still can access the storage but now it tells me that the device is unauthorized, so what can I do? how can I get rid of that virus ? please help me, I can't afford to buy a new phone.
Update: I manage to enter the recovery mode from the fastboot menu, so I could reset the phone again, but I don't even dare to power it off or restart in fear the same happens again, what should I do?
Hi !
Perform a factory reset , any virus you`ve got , though I doubt about it , will be erased
I have my brothers phone which has been dormant for a couple years. He wants to use it again but forgets the unlock pin. How can I reset the phone e.g. through recovery mode etc. (by the way, I can't enter recovery mode from off state using power and -vol)
Can anyone help step me through it?
N.B. I can not use the main menu
Cheers
I made the mistake of Factory Resetting my phone after a few failed attempts at remembering the Pattern to unlock the phone, in doing so I ended up being stuck in the set-up process because I forgot the Google account I was logged into on it before the Factory Reset, had been an account I just quickly made on the spot months ago just to set up an app on it. I'm posting here for help with this since I'm on day 4 of trying to find a way to bypass this and my head is ready to explode. I feel like someone with a fresh mind would be able to point me in the right direction.
If anyone can let me know if I'm doing something wrong or missing some steps that will help me try any one of these, or honestly any advice at all... I'd very much appreciate it and it'd help relieve a huge chunk of this ridiculous headache this has all been.
Thanks in advance!
What I've tried thus far --
- I know for most ways around this, USB debugging needs to be enabled. But since I cannot get past the initial set-up process, I can't access the settings to enable it.
- I also know that for a lot of Android devices USB debugging is enabled by default in Recovery Mode but everywhere I've searched for the hardware combination to boot into Recovery/Download mode, all say the same thing:
Turn phone off > Power up with Vol. Down + Power button until 'Download Mode' is displayed (for boot into Download mode, while holding Vol. Down + Power button plug OTG cable into device)
- My problem with this is that on my device, Vol. Down + Power button, restarts the phone. So instead of 'Download Mode', I'm just restarting the phone over and over again. I was able to get my phone to boot into was Safe mode using the Power button + Side button.
- I've also tried getting around this through a series of steps which involved the 'TalkBack' accessibility feature, but when I try toggling to enable it I just get a message saying "Complete setup first to continue"
From there --
I started looking up Stock ROMs that I'd be able to just flash the firmware. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to find anything for this device. And this is where I'm pretty much at now.
To remove FRP lock you boot into phone's Recovery mode and apply
1. Wipe data
2. Factory Reset
Every Android device gets shipped by default with Android Recovery.

I can't get my device to boot into Recovery mode. Everywhere I look up, it tells me to Power off device, then Press Vol. Down + Power key until the menu appears. But on my device, all that combination does is force the phone to restart.
