Hello guyz I have asus zenfone 3(ZE520KL) Indian piece. I want to lock my phone in such a way that even if someone tries to factory reset it (after switching it off and using power button + volume button) would require a password to do so ( I mean that phone should require password/or similar to load the boot file even for the factory reset options or access the adb method to make changes in my phone.).It is android marshmallow original ROM. I am trying to avoid rooting since the phone is just 4 days old and hence in warranty.
(If I have to then I will root the phone but please help me with this and also provide a stock recovery img if it is there.)

Greetings, your device has its own dedicated forum here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3
and this thread here will help root etc if you go that way
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/tool-zenfone-3-one-click-tool-t3507417
If you lock your phone with a password/pin then even after a factory reset google frp should protect the phone from being used again
Good Luck

Don't know if this is a good place to post but after days of searching various threads and forums
I decided to make a general HUAWEI G6 thread to help myself and others!
So a friend gave me this phone and I know very little about its history, only that it was rooted.
Also on the battery it says sample, not sure if that changes anything. It's all functional.
Bugs that I have found:
1) Screen doesn't always wake after pressing power button, but the keys do. Installed gravity app, same problem, so it's not the button.
2) Wifi keeps connecting and disconnecting.
3)Major battery drain (maybe after I rooted again and turned on mobile data) lasts about 6hours even when idle.
So I wanted to flash a new rom.
First I rooted the phone with RootGenius and it gave me a message prior to rooting that the phone is rooted. Since I couldn't use some
apps that required root I did a Quick root and gained root and King User was installed.
Second, tried to find L-22 firmware. I found only G6 L-11 and G6 L-33, so I wonder are they compatible?
Third, tried to flash CWM recovery but when rebooting into recovery I always get stock android recovery.
And, when looking in Rom manager, under Recovery Setup, under Recovery Already Installed I get CWM Recovery and
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP). This one baffles me.
Fourth, do I have to unlock my bootloader and how? (do I need a code or is there a faster way?)
I tried installing L11 firmware downloaded from Huawei support by enetering stock recovery but the instalation
aborted and I got a message: update packages ext name error.
And this that I noticed:
Power button + up - enter recovery
Power button + down - bootloader (but my phone always gets stuck on the logo and I have to wait for the battery do die)
So I hope that somebody will be able to help and make this thread useful for others.
How to flash, unlock, which rom is compatible and so on...
I see lots of small threads regarding this phone but none of them are helpful.
This is a great phone and I would love to be able to use it.
So I guess I'll take this in little steps.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal? (attachment included)
I charged my phone all night, went to work, listened to about 45 min
of music, used about 10 minutes of reddit is fun app, got an occasional
text or call.
Mind you that I have uninstalled all bloatware, stock apps that I don't use,
most of google services, run a black background, use only 3g (had to install Xposed
and Intelli3g to achieve that). There were approx 150 apps, now maybe 60 that came with
the system. I think that I disabled almost everything I could in order to preserve the battery.
Is it maybe that the battery is weak? Phone was used before and I don't know to what extent,
but I somehow doubt that it could be used so much to wear it this much. Since it is rather new
on the market.
I would be ever so grateful if anyone could put their 2 cents, this is my first better phone and I would
hate to have to give up on it.

Hello !
When your device enter in bootloader mode , is the same like " phone always gets stuck on the logo " - so right now your device is in bootloader mode !
You can acces device only with fastboot commands and NOT with adb commands !
You can put your device in bootloader mode : manually ( by pressing combo key ) or by this command : adb reboot bootloader
You can reboot device from bootloader mode : manually ( press & keep power button more than 15 sec. ) or by this command : sudo fastboot reboot ( for linux ) or fastboot reboot ( Win ) !
It seems that your device still have an locked bootloader because you are not able to reboot your device in CWM/TWRP mode , after you already installed one of them !
Flash custom recovery : sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
Reboot device : sudo fastboot reboot
Reboot your device in TWRP recovery : adb reboot recovery
Now if your device boot into stock recovery, it seems that you have a device with a locked bootloader .
To unlock your device bootloader you should search on Huawei support if your device is able to be unlocked .
Best regards !
Thanks for replying! I'll try and follow what you said.
Thank you!
Problem with rooted phone
Hi,
I rooted my Huawei G6-L22 using KingoRoot. I'm able to access as su from ADB.
I succeed to mount /system but any file that I put here, gets removed after phone reboot.
I tried to do unroot with KingoRoot but it didn't work.
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: G6-L22V100R001C649B138
Is there any explanation to this problem?
Thank you.
Hello everyone, i have tried to recover and bypass my password on Z3 D6603.
Cannot remember the password/PIN Code at all, so i cant turn USB Debugging or anything else ON. I have tried to flash custom roms and new firmwares and unlock Bootloader with FlashTool/Emma and any attemps dont give results. Also IMEI Unlocker what comes with Flashtool doesnt work. Tried multiple times with code what i got from Sony's site,
My warranty is gone so i cant give my device to them for unlocking or master resetting, so i need to do it by myself, are there any tips how i can bypass my password or master reset whole device without USB Debugging? I really want get access back to my device, its too expensive to leave it because i have bad memory.
Attached a .JPG with this thread, that picture tells my phone information what is possible needed for unlocking this.
If you can help me send Private Message or just post to thread, Thanks in advance everyone!
http://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-z3-d6633/ try option 5 it'll allow you to factory reset in recovery mode
You will not be able to enter recovery unless you have installed one. The info on this site is incorrect.
It also says it if for the D6633 not the D6603 which this user has
I have tried it on my D6616 variant and was able to boot into recovery. Here's the step to get into it, Power off your device while it's off hold both volume up + down then hold power button after 5-10 seconds it'll vibrate and load the sony logo the moment it does release the three buttons and press and hold the camera button until green android guy shows up, that should allow you to factory reset your device.

Could this possibly work?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFUEQV6ob_4
keep in mind that the device is different from what you have gotten but the proceedure should be the same.

That would work only a locked bootloader
The OP here has not confirmed that the boot is locked or unlocked. He says he has no warranty (Suggesting it is unlocked) so this will not work.
The best way will be to flash a FTF with flashtool, there is no need for USB debugging in order to do that

Thanks,
Its not a real recovery, no chance to flash anything there, update or use ADB. It also seems it is not available on all devices. It is not on my phone. (D6603)

No I meant a stock recovery,
All my xperia devices have never had a stock recovery, whilst other devices do that allow updates and adb and backing up user data etc.
The one you showed me is basically just a way to reset the device or enter safe mode.
Hey thank you for checking out this thread..
I have bricked my phone, G FLex 2 LS996, unfortunately I can't get away from the boot screen. [The one with the LG Logo on it]
I tried using Kingo Root without knowing the consequences of rooting.
The only Solution I tried is wiping the data and going back to the phone's Factory Default settings which I did when going through the phone's hard reset.
I thought that would end my problem. Unfortunately, even after restoring the phone's Factory Default settings I am still stuck at the boot screen.
I have no knowledge working with mobile phones. So.. can I kindly ask for your help and guidance.. Thank you so much.

You need to flash firmware again. To enter download mode you hold vol up and connect USB cabel. Like here - http://www.hard-reset.mobi/lg-g-flex-2-download-mode/
Then you install firmware from LGUP software. Install phone drivers first and download right firmware for your model.
Here seams to be some stuff for LS996 - https://boycracked.com/2016/10/01/official-lg-g-flex-2-sprint-ls996-stock-rom/
Hope it helps
Hi there,
I have cracked the screen on my phone and was wondering if it was possible to access it via PC/USB or any other way to completely factory reset it (no personal data left). I dont think I can get ADB access, as I cant see what's on it, and the 80% of of it cant respond to touch. But it does have the following:
- Fingerprint access(able to unlock)
-Root access
-TWRP
-Unlocked bootloader
Will this be possible?

Are your volume keys working ? if yes then , flash a new recovery(non-touch) to your phone using odin(probably ur stock one) and then factory reset your device using the volume keys , if you dont remember the option sequence of your recovery than reply me your Phone's manufacturer and model number.
And I would suggest that in future whenever you flash custom roms , never flash a touch one .

1. Do i need custom rom?
no
2. Do i need custom kernel?
no
3. Will the android self update as now?
if you flashed TWRP, no
1. Do i need custom rom? No
2. Do i need custom kernel? No
3. Will the android self update as now? depend on your settings
1-to root it the first thing is to have OEM Unlock available and enabled in Dev Options
if not keep the device fully on and with data on dont restart, power off or reset for at least 7 days continuously (or a bit more) and you should have it
if it's not shown dot bother with the rest
2-to have Dev Menu available go to settings >> about phone >> software information >> on build number tape multiple times 10 times i guess, you will have a pop up confirmation
once back at settings menu you will find a new choice at the very bottom "Develper Options"
3-next step with to plug ur phone with PC with usb cable
after installing SAMSUNG DRIVERS & ODIN and downloading TWRP (custom recovery)
in ODIN 2nd tab, untick "AUTO REBOOT" VERY VERY IMPORTANT
chose the TWRP file using AP button/option in ODIN
put your phone in download MOD power off completely >> power back on while holding vol+ and vol- at the same time
flash the file using ODIN to your phone
4- now here is the tricky part
after fklashing TWRP if you reboot normaly you will be locked again and you wont have that OEM Unlock option i talked about and you will be stuck
so, after flashing TWRP, press vol- + power button to reboot the phone
AT THE VERY PRECISE MOMENT WHEN PHONE TURN OFF BEFORE POWERING BACK ON WHEN IT BLINK
RELEAS POWER BUTTON AND VOL+ and PRESS POWER BUTTON + VOL+ AGAIN VERY VERY QUICKLY
if successful you should boot into TWRP directly
5-once you are in TWRP wipe everything then format the device (ALL DATA WILL BE LOST)
of course you need to have the needed files already copied in the SD CARD
from twrp after the wipe and formatiing
go to install and flash in that order RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu or RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2
then no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0
then at the end flash Magisk-v19.3
once its done reboot the phone normally, you will have your phone working as normal
once you are in, install Magisk APK MagiskManager-v7.3.2
reboot again
and voilaaa, you should have root and everything shoul be functional for you
allthow of course I will not be responsible for any kind of software or hardware damage, and certainly not ressponsible for any data loss
as it is completely you responsibility
I would like to attach all the files mentioned above, to help better but dnt sems to find how
so you will have to download and gather them from previous posts
Thank you very much, but i have a question. You wrote this:
"4- now here is the tricky part

so"
I this will happen what csn i do?
The most afraiding thing is to me about rooting if i get a brick.

its virtually impossible to brick samsung devices these days. Well, perma-brick that is. I have spent entire evenings after work bricking phones just so i could figure out what caused the brick and then fix it. the worst thing that would happen if the FRP lock gets enabled again is that youd have to go re-disable it.
i guess i didnt really explain that clearly after re-reading it. So, when he says "stuck" he means with TWRP installed and no method of rooting. The phone will boot normally in the situation described in point #4
