[Guide] Enable mobile data\WiFi to login to gmail account after getting locked out

Okay, So just today my girlfriends room mate at uni decided it would be funny to lock her out of her Galaxy S II
I Tried every available method to me to try and get it unlocked but it wouldn't work.
After some time of scratching my head at this, I found the answer
These are the steps you have to follow in order to make this work
1.Make sure USB Debugging is on [Sorry to those of you who haven't got it turned on :\]
2. Make a folder called adb anywhere you like and place the files in the zip called adb (needs to be extracted) you can use WinRAR, 7zip
etc) attached to the bottom of this post.
3. Attach your phone to your PC and make sure all drivers are installed
4. Open up a command window (this can be done by pressing the start button on your keyboard and r together, then typing cmd) and navigate to the adb folder you created. The command : cd C;\Users\%userprofile%\%yourdirectory%\adb (replace userprofile with your username and yourdirectory with the directory you chose to place adb, don't forget to remove %!!)
5.Now type this command exactly and when done hit enter: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
6.Don't close Command, but go to the folder where you extracted adb, there should be a new file there called settings.db
7. What I did was transferred the file to my Galaxy S3, and I used an SQlite editor
8.Using an SQlite Editior, go to the tab that says files and scroll down to your sdcard or external sdcard wherever you put it, open the settings.db.
9. There are 6 Options; android_metadata, bluetooth_devices, bookmarks, secure, sqlite_sequence, system. Go to the option that says secure and navigate down to mobile_data or wifi_on.
10. These options either have a 1 or a 0 under the value column, 0 for being off, 1 for being on. Let's assume both are 0. Now if you don't have mobile data, leave this at 0, if you do have it change it to 1, the same with wifi change it to one and you should save the changes you make when you exit.
11. Plug the device back to your computer and copy the new settings.db to the adb folder and overwrite any existing files.
12. Use the command and once done hit enter: adb push ./"settings.db" /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
You should get an immediate response if not just reboot and then your data or wifi should be on and you are able to login to your gmail without a problem
Hope this helps anyone who gets stuck like this

[rooted+unrooted] How To Move Apps to SD without Creating Partition.

One of the biggest complaints on the HTC Explorer is the severe lack of internal memory. There are ways around this, one of which is forcing downloaded apps to install to the SD Card. There are a couple of pre-requisites, but the process itself is relatively straight forward.
You'll need HTC SYNC installed (or at least the drivers that come with HTC Sync) and Android SDK. The SDK itself is a >100MB download and can be relatively difficult to install, however you need JAVA JDK (JAVA is used only TO INSTALL ANDROID SDK). Once downloaded All items please install Android SDK somewhere easy, like C:\Android\ as you'll need to navigate to it via a command prompt later.
You'll also need to enable USB Debugging on your phone. that's easily enough done by heading to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging. You'll get a warning message, but just ok that you'll be fine.
Once you've done all the above, the process is as follows:
1. Connect the Phone to the PC in Charge Only mode
2. Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> CMD, you'll need to run as Administrator)
3. Navigate to the folder you have ADB it is usually in ANDROID--->Android-sdk>---->platform-tools. In my case, the command would be "cd\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools" (minus the quotes).
ADB Depends on the android sdk u are using so try finding it and navigate to it any how Once u are inside this through cmd
4. Type adb devices and press enter. You should then see the serial number of your phone displayed on screen. If you don't check, that USB Debugging is enabled and you're connected in Charge Only Mode.
5. Type adb shell, press enter.
6. [UNROOTED] Type pm setInstallLocation 2 press enter (it's important you enter this exactly as written as it's case sensitive)
6. [ROOTED]Type pm set-install-location 2 press enter (it's important you enter this exactly as written as it's case sensitive)
7. Type Exit, then disconnect your phone.
8. PROFIT! (ADD THANKS)
You can now move apps that are already on the handset to the SD Card. Head to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Click an app -> Move to SD Card. All new apps will also install to the SD Card by default.
It's worth mentioning that apps with active widgets cannot be moved. Also, a certain portion app will remain on the phones data partition, but this goes a long way to assist with the lack of internal memory!
NOTE:
1) It works after rooting too (NOW NO NEED TO CREATE PARTITION ON SD) , how ever some apps are still on SD i can tell you how to move them (xcept Google play every thing can be moved)
2) This text is copied from an forum & thread owned by me

How to Install Apps to the SD Card by Default on Android Phones

There are certain tricks to regain a couple of MB here and there, like clearing the cache that some applications use, but for those with a taste for apps and games, the phone storage limitation has been quite a nuisance. Android users with root access have been able to enjoy the Apps2SD utility, but getting it to work is a comparatively complicated process. Frozen yogurt to the rescue!
To install an app to the SD card on Android, the application itself needs to support it. In my experience though, most current apps can be moved to the external storage. However, the system installs all new applications on your device’s internal memory by default, except for those that explicitly request external installation. Luckily, it’s possible to make your Android 2.2+ phone put apps on the SD card by default instead. Here’s how:
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
2. Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from the attached file. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the package to the folder of your choice, run SDK Setup.exe and click on Available Packages to the left. If you get an error message at this point, enable “Force http: in the Settings. From the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.
3. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers. Choose to install them from the android-sdk/usb_driver folder. Do not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
4. Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK\tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon ), and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type cd android-sdk.
5. In the Android-SDK\tools folder, type in adb devices and you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is entering adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2. You’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.
6. To switch back to storing software on the internal memory, enter adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.

How to move apps to sd card without rooting??

Hii Guyzz... Here i'm gonna show u how to move apps to sdcard...
1.To run commands which will enable Move to SD card button for most installed apps, you need to have adb executable on your computer. Download Android SDK from Official Android SDK developers site.
2. After downloading the archive of the SDK, unzip it to any folder and remember its location (let’s call this folder <sdk>).
3. If you are installing Android SDK on Windows machine, you also need to install USB driver.
4. Connect the phone using USB cable and do not enable USB storage mode. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB debugging.
5. Start terminal window on your computer (on Windows: click Start, type “cmd” and press Enter).
6. In the terminal window, navigate to folder containing file named “adb” (<sdk>\platform-tools folder) using this command: cd “full-path-to-sdk-platform-tools” (replace “full-path-to-sdk-platform-tools” with an actual path as shown in the screenshot below).
7. Type the following lines in the terminal window and press Enter after each line:
• adb devices
• This checks that the phone is connected and is in the correct mode. You should see one entry in the list of the attached devices. If you get “device not found” error, see Troubleshooting section below.
• adb shell
• If you get “cannot find file” error and are using Mac or Linux, instead type: ./adb shell
• pm set-install-location 2
• (If this command doesn’t work try using the “old” command: pm setInstallLocation 2. Thanks to polosco for the tip.)
• exit
8. Now on your phone go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications.
• If you have Android 2.3 or later, click on USB Storage tab (may be called SD card). This tab shows a list of apps that either can be installed to SD card or are already on SD card. The ones that have checkbox on the right side are already moved to SD card (credit to Michael Scully for the tip).
• On Android 2.2 and earlier if you don’s see USB Storage or SD Card tab, click on All tab.
•
Android USB storage tab
9. Press hardware Menu button and select Sort by Size.
10. Tap on each app that is taking significant amount of space and tap Move to SD card button. Press hardware Back button and repeat.
11. (optional) To change the default installation location for new apps back to the internal phone memory, go back to your terminal window and type:
• pm setInstallLocation 0
12. (important) Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and disable USB debugging. Leaving USB debugging enabled makes your phone vulnerable (e.g. lock pattern can be reset).
13. Enjoy!
There v gooo..... No rooting...no vulnerability....everything is safe and easy.....

Ulefone Power 6 Root

Hello. Has anyone rooted the Ulefone Power 6 yet? Im looking to have TWRP installed onto my new Power 6. My goal is to figure out a way to add user profiles, as it currently does not have them activated. I read online that you could edit the .prop to have any android activate the user profiles, but i cannot do this without my phone being rooted. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, This is for the original Ulefone Power, not the Power 6. Different phones. The instructions didn't lead me to anything useful. I have since update my phone to the latest firmware via the stock update app. I still haven't found a successful way to root the Power 6. There is this thread (https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-ulefone-power-6/), but the ADB commands to not work, and does not fastboot my phone to install the patched image. But either way, the instructions do not include a TWRP, so Im back to square one. HELP!

How to root Ulefone Power 6 (Build Power_6_SF1_V07) Updated 9/22/2019
OK. It was tough, but I finally found a way to root the Ulefone Power 6. I still haven't figured out a way to install TWRP, but that's because i have to build a custom recovery, and that's too advanced for me. So, anyone is welcomed to help out with building a custom recovery for TWRP. As for the root, This is what you will need:
Pre-Requirements:
Device battery charged up to 50%.
Developer Options enabled with OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging enabled
Remember to take a full backup of device data (Internal Storage, SMS), it will get formatted.
A Windows or Mac PC/Laptop is necessary to flash Magisk
A USB cable to connect your device with your PC
Download Links:
Download Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 (Portable). Extract it to your desktop.
It's best to give administrator privileges to the tools before you use them. To give them admin privileges:
Right click on adb.exe and select "Properties" at the bottom of the menu. Click on the "Compatability" Tab and check the "Run this program as an Administrator" box. Click on the "Apply" button and then the "OK" button to close the properties window.
Repeat the same process for the "cmd-here.exe" and the "fastboot.exe" files.
Ulefone USB Drivers. Extract it to your desktop and make sure you install the drivers.
MTK USB Drivers. Extract it to your desktop and make sure you install the drivers.
Latest Ulefone Power 6 Stock ROM. Or you could make a back up yourself. (latest rom as of 2/25/20 is GQ3081SF1_M860B1_Ulefone_20190921_V07(Non-EU) ).Extract it to your desktop.
MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool. This will be used to flash the most recent Ulefone rom on your device. Extract it to your desktop.
Download Magisk Manager
After downloading the Stock ROM (will be a .ZIP file), extract it to your PC.
Connect your device via USB cable
Find the "boot.img" file inside the Stock Rom folder you just extracted and copy only the "boot.img" file to your devices storage.
Copy Magisk Manager.apk to your devices storage
Using your device, install Magisk Manager
Open the Magisk Manager on your device.
Select "Install" from the first option next to "Magisk is not installed" and again select install.
Now, tap on "Select and Patch a File".
Go to your devices storage where you have copied the "boot.img" file earlier and select it.
Magisk will start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image is patched, Magisk will save the image on your "Download" folder located on your devices storage.
Locate the patched image (magisk_patched.img) and copy the "magisk_patched.img" to your PC. Make sure the patched image (magisk_patched.img) is inside the same folder as the extracted ADB and Fastboot tool folder on your desktop.
Open/run MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool
Click on File from the Menu located at the top right and select "Open Download Agent File"
Locate and select "MTK_ALLInOne_DA.bin", located in the same folder as the MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool folder.
Press the "Open buton" to select the file and close the window.
Now, click on the "Scatter File" button located at the top left.
Locate and select the XXXXXXXX_scatter.txt file located inside the extracted Ulefone Power 6 Stock Rom folder.
Press the "Open buton" to select the file and close the window.
Now, tick the "BootRom+PreLoader COM Sel All" check box located under the "scatter file" button.
Now, Click on the "Scan" button located at the bottom right.
Select Yes from the pop up window
Now, power off you device and disconnect your device from your PC by removing the USB cable from your device.
Now, reconnect the USB cable to your device while it is powered off.
MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool should detect your device and a green bar should appear confirming the connection with the words "Scan Success!" to the left of the green bar.
Press the "Stop all" button located at the bottom right
Disconnect and reconnect your device from your PC
Uncheck the "BootRom+PreLoader COM Sel All" box and check only the line with the green bar.
Click on the tiny "Start" button located to the right of the green bar.
You can confirm the flash was successful when the words "PASS" is visible to the right of the tiny "Start" & "Stop" buttons
Once the flashing is complete, you can close MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool and power on your device.
Configure your device to get to the home screen (skipping as many options as you can. You will have to format one more time) and enable Developer Options, OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging again.
Make sure your device is connected to your PC.
Now, you need to open up a command window (cmd window) inside the Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 (Portable) folder. To do this, open the "cmd-here.exe" file.
Next, enter the following command in the cmd window:
adb devices
(this command will confirm your device is connected to your PC via ADB )
Your device will show a pop up window asking for permission to connect via ADB. Click on the "Always Trust This Device" and Accept the connection
If successful, you should see the word "Device" to the right of your devices name on the list that the cmd window created.
Next, enter the following command:
adb reboot-bootloader
(This command will boot your device into fastboot/bootloader mode. It will turn off and the device will have a black lit screen)
Check that your device is connected to your pc by entering the following command:
fastboot devices
(this command will confirm your device is connected to your PC via fastboot/bootloader mode ) If successful, you should see the word "Device" to the right of your devices name on the list that the cmd window created.
Next, enter the following command:
fastboot flashing unlock
(if nothing happens, press the Volume up+ on your phone to start the unlocking of the bootloader)
(this will unlock your bootloader)
Next, enter the following command:
fastboot getvar unlocked
(this will confirm you have unlocked your bootloader. It will say "unlocked: yes")
Next, enter the following command:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
(This will replace your stock image with the patched image you created using Magisk Manager)
Next, enter the following command to reboot your phone:
fastboot reboot
Install magisk manager using your file manager. Make sure to follow directions when it asks you to give special permissions to install.
Open Magisk Manager and click on "OK" when it starts up and asks you for "additional setup".
Congratulations! Your device is rooted.
Extra notes:
If you come across a red watermark with the Chinese words and "Tee Keys" and/or "Google Keys" on the top right of your devices screen, this is how you fix it.
make sure your device is turned on and connected to your PC.
Open "cmd-here.exe" located in the Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 (Portable) folder.
Next, enter the following command:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mediatek.factorymode
(This command will not do anything at the moment, but will remove the watermark after you reboot your device)
Next, enter the following command to reboot your device:
adb reboot
The watermark should be removed when your device restarts again.
ENJOY!

Thanks a heap for all these instructions, would not have been able to do this without them.
Just a few extra pieces of information for anyone else caryring out the above steps:
- If you your stock ROM doesn't have a file manager in order to open/execute the MagiskManager APK file then using Chrome to download the APK file will allow you to execute it.
- in the SP Multi Port Tool, after checking the line with the green bar and clicking start you'll notice the time in seconds counting next to the start button. At this point you may need to unplug your USB cable and replug it in order for the SP Multi Port Tool to detect the devices and actually start properly
- If the SP Multi Port Tool requires a checksum.ini file you can follow the instructions on the hovatek site (Google 'checksum.ini generatemediatek hovatek' I'm a new user so can't post links):
Note there is a download link for the CheckSum_Gen.zip file which will require you to register for an account on the hovatek website. You can create a junk/throw away account with a fake email as it doesn't require email confirmation. Also all of the files inside the CheckSum_Gen.zip folder need to be placed inside of the stock ROM folder where the scatter file is located.
- The watermark can only be removed after the MagiskManager carries out its additional setup and after root access is complete.

Still hoping to find a compatible TWRP recovery. If anyone builds one please let us know!

Hi, 19Henry83
I did try your method and it works great. I rooted my Power 6. The thing is I did this in hope to fix a freezing touchscreen issue. Touch screen frezzes and I need to lock/unlock my phone constantly to fix it. Now I'm convinced this is not a software issue and I will return the phone to the seller. So I wanted to get back to the original firmware. When I do that however there is still that red watermark and my IMEI is deleted. Is there any way to get back to the factory software and not have the red watermark, as I assume it will void my warranty.

I Need help please ,, I need the TWRP Recovery, Tool / Utility for the Ulefone Power 6, I have looked for it in many web pages and I cannot find it, all the ones I find have the same name "3.3.1 Power 6" and not It works for me when I install them, I get the same recovery that I had when I try to enter

Hello Jiroscop. I had the same problem and only noticed after i read your post. Now, a couple months later, i managed to use an IMEI changer to insert my IMEI found on my original box where my phone came in. It should have two IMEIs. I don't know if i can explain on this forum. Try researching it on your own and get back to me if you cannot find a way to fix your phone.
NOTE: you will need your original IMEI's, changing the IMEI's with anything other than the original ones will brick your phone.
