Store Demo phone - Htc One A9 - HTC One A9

i bought a HTC One A9 that has been a Demo Phone at a local store. i got it extremely cheap because of it's flaws, like the demo apps that displays over the screen. the store was not able to remove the HTC Demoflo application.
i cant do a factory reset fom the settings on the phone, the OK button at reset phone in the settings is grey and unpushable. i tried to do the hardware reset but it did not work, all the preinstalled demo **** was still there. there are also many of the options in submenues in the settings that are greyed out and unpushable, like the finnish button at the end of programming the fingerprint reader, it just wont work...
i gues that i will have to root the phone or something but i am a complete noob at all this stuff, can someone plz link the most noobfriendly ways to root this phone phone.
Or if possible give instructions on how to do a facotry reset that completely sets the phone to square one.
i apologise for all the bad grammar and spelling, that's what i get for not being born in an English speaking country

OH S**T please help me

hi all,
heres the deal. i rooted my defy with superoneclick, it worked great.
heres the problem and what i think is the cause but i need a solution!
PROBLEM: i switch my phone on, it starts normally
motoblur screen
then
T mobile screen
then
the normal swipe unlock
i ulnlock it fine but as soon as i do the wallpaper dissapears/goes black. i cannot access any apps. none of the buttons work (menu,home,return/back,search) but the info bar/ menur bar thing at the top that swipes down works fine and what ever is in it works fine i.e when i plug into usb im able to choose portal and tools and those other 3. but when i just leave my phone on lock then press power button/activate unlock screen. it will show normal background with time and everything looks normal.
the CAUSE ( i think )
i was installing apps and deleting motoblur stuff. but it it was one of those two, i isntalled an app and i deleted a file at the same sort of time. the app installed was some startup app killer or a firewall of some type. or it could have been that i deleted an apk file that had a real short name i think, like blur.apk
PLEASE HELP ME. I need a solution FAST its my first smartphone ever and i paid alot for it. if you need my phone info it was
moto defy android 2.1 uk version but then rooted with super one click
THANK YOU IN ADVANCED FOR ANY HELP

No bad words and put a better title please, thread closed.

may pattern/pincode lock lead in permanently loose of phones?

since i have installed APM'advanced power menu' on my Xgo 4.1.2, i realized what would happen if my device get lost or stolen with pattern unlock on or moreever with anti-theft function enabled by the app?then this made me create this toppic thinking would become a good idea.
I asked this from the dev but also your ideas would be welcome...
(which one would you preffer ?
having :
-pattern/pin code set on ,then accept this risk that may your device get suddenly re-flashed or thrown away or atleast shutdown(out of power) for long time by the theft?
Or
-nothing on (or just swipe to unlock) and let the theft to easily use your phone then may getting chance to track him/her by any third party pre-installed device-tracker app?)
i myself have choosed to set swipe ,plus of its fascilities its more reasonable for me.
So how about you?
Excuse my bad English

I think it depends on what kind of data you store on your phone. If there is data from my company or private photos and such I want my device encrypted and locked up, because I don't want that persons other than me are able to get this data. But that is a personal decision. Also I think as a thief I would check the phone and if there is no interesting data I would factory reset it, if there is a screen lock or not.

[Completed] HTC One V Problem with scrolling the list over the screen

Dear all,
I have HTC One V, it is one of the most problematic hand phone ever designed. I have many many problem with it such as below:
- Very low speed of opening the phone book and SMS page (Some times it take more than 10 to 20 minutes)
- Late reaction of key board during dialing or writing messages.
- Unlock ring in not working properly
- Hands free key during phone talk is not working
- Scroll function is not working
I am still trying to use the phone but the scrolling problem is really impossible to use. When I open a list or a menu or any screen which needs to scroll, the page is not functioning properly at all, it stops, no reaction, suddenly moves very fast and selects one item randomly and opens it or execute it. I can not use my phone and you know the scroll function is the main function in touch screen hand phones.
I have done below actions to solve the issue:
- I restarted the phone. (Does not solve the problem)
- I backed up the contact list and SMS into my Micro SD, then remove the memory card, Reset the phone to factory setting (Does not solve the problem)
- I have uninstalled all additional games and apps. Now it has only the original apps built in from HTC and Viber and WhatsApp only.
- Every few minutes I open the "Task Manager" and stop all additional apps to free the Ram but it is not helping.
- I made hard reset by turning of the phone, push the power and volume down key together and . . . ( Does not solve the problem)
- I remove the screen protector (Does not effect on the function)
The reaction of the phone during scroll function is most like it is hanging or very low speed, it seems like a software glitch. I hope I can upgrade or refresh the android to solve the issue. I dont know to check the hardware of touch screen. There is a probably issue with touch screen hardware.
If any of you have the same problem please help me and tell me what to do.
regards,
Farhad
Hi, If you have made no changes to your device (rooting, etc.) and it is under warranty, perhaps contact HTC for a replacement.
Remember that rooting your device voids the warranty.
All the best.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, Do you guess any hardware problem?
What is Rooting? The warranty has been expired already. if it helps, please help me to proceed the rooting.
Best regards,

Yes, my guess is hardware problem.
Because that is most likely the case, rooting your phone will likely cause more problems, perhaps making the phone completely useless . With an expired warranty, you could send the phone to HTC for repair, however my suggestion would be get a new phone of your choice.
Here is some info on rooting.
Again, this is just for your information, please do not try to root a defective device.
I wish you all the best - and with that I am closing this thread.

Honor 6x BLN-24-cannot press "allow" for any app.

When an app asks for permissions, Allow and Deny options show up (regardless if for storage, or camera, etc.) but the allow button does not work. Deny works fine. So far i have unlocked the bootloader via Huawei website method (i guess you call that official) and flashed twrp. I have not rooted the phone yet (getting to that, but one problem at a time) and this is the first one.
I also saw someone else ask, but with now answer. Is there a way to get rid of the splash scren about the phone being unlocked and not trustable, press power button again to boot?
Do you have an special theme activated? Use the standard theme and try again
My 1st question to you is... when the window prompts, do you flag the option "don't ask to me again" or not? Because if yes, the only option avalaible becomes the "deny" one. This mechanism confused me too some time ago, when i wasn't understanding why it was blacked out; Android takes your flag as an "what a bore, just shut up and go **** ya' self leavin' me alone" answer, so it automatically deactivate the possibility to let it pass even one more time. If you didn't checked the flag, i have another question for you. Did you maybe recently made an update OTA, or with an update package found online? If the 2nd answer is what u've done, do a check for being sure that you have updated the phone with the correct package model. (BLN-21, BLN-22, ecc.) If neither this is your case, begin to tell us something more 'bout your phone configuration and start to think to backup your data and do a factory reset for eliminate this weird issue.
For the question of yours about the Nag screen (the splash one, for being clear) at the moment there is nothing that we can do to avoid it to pop out; just skip it pressing immediately the power button, is the best advice that i can do so far
I'll attempt to answer all these at once since I just got home from work. I wouldn't believe rooting the phone would cause this issue, but the problem happened before i unlocked the bootloader so I think that rules that out. I do not use a special theme, but I do use squarehome launcher for my phone, not the standard android launcher. Problem there is, the problem occurs with either launcher being active. And theme wise, I have a 3-d live aquarium for a background (which if turned off and just a static wallpaper, the same behavior occurs). As far as the phone update goes, it was an OTA update from 6 to 7, so still using stock, nothing sideloaded or flashed (yet). My data is all backed up via My backup pro, and doing a full backup with TWRP onto OTG is not a problem. I prefer not throwing in the towel, since setting up squarehome perfectly is a pain in the ass, but if it has to happen, it is better than manually setting permissions for every app that needs them. Not sure what a screenshot would do, think of any app asking for permission to use phone storage, both the allow button and the deny button visible (in white, nothing grey) and allow doesn't respond where deny responds fine. and then i have to go in manually and grant the permission after the fact. I suppose I could just root my phone and give that a whirl, seems some bloatware needs to be removed anyway, and i have the SU sitting on my hard drive already. Thanx for the responses, and let me know what you may have come up with before I just factory reset it which as mentioned, I am dreading doing.

Hi, so you have unlocked bootloader but not rooted? This is maybe problem, you need to have rooted phone if you have unlocked bootloader for fully using phone. Can you post some screeshots?

Well, I didn't think that would be the answer, but you, sir were right. I rooted my phone and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I don't believe I made any other change whatsoever. Thank you very much. Glad I tried it anyway as you suggested even though I didn't think it would be the answer. I am not above saying thank you, and I was wrong. Kudos. Maybe this will help someone else. Good thing is, I planned on rooting it anyway, and you just kicked me in the pants to do it.
Rooted but allow button is still not activated
Hello guys,
I wanted to activate app twin so I rooted my phone BLN-L21 android 7.0
Allow button still deactivated.
Also the boot screen that asks to press power button still exist.
I noticed that if I activate whatsapp twin it won't work simultaneously .
I.e : when you open whatsapp you get all missed calles & messeges.
Also I was able to download themes through themes app ,but now it just views the local themes.
Note: superSu is installed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Well, I think this is not related to OP (or at least partially), but when unlocking bootloader after setting up SD card as the default storage can break some things, like default themes.
Try to restore your firmware, and then unlock the bootloader.
If successful, you can now set up SD card as default storage.

Its happened to me before i just wiped the phone. I even sometimes cant click install when installing an apk unless i lock and unlock the screen.

Bypassing Google's FRP lock without ogk cables.

:angel::crying:​so no I didn't steal this phone, I paid for it (cuz I'm dumb).
I've been using the phone anyway thanks to a walkthrough. I found out how to still use the phone despite the lock. But I'd like to remove it completely. I don't own a computer or OTG cable so I need to find a way to do it from the phone itself. I thought possibly if I can find out what what specific apps control the fr then maybe I could deactivate those apps and reset the phone if anybody has any ideas please comment.
I'm able to activate deactivate apps change permissions all that kind of stuff through settings what not but I don't know which app specifically control or disable the screen locks that comes with it if I could just disable the screen lock and regain the home screen and access to play etc I'd be just as happy.
Thanks for your time and thoughts and sorry if this is the wrong are for this post.
P.s.
Phone and soft ware
I'm using a Moto 4e and have Android 7.1
