[HELP] Cannot factory reset a Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) on Metro PCS

Greetings to all the developers and registered users on this site... Yes, this is my first post, but I read here pretty often and I used the search function, trust me! Seriously, I've tried all I could and I am at my wits end, but this is technology, we can't let it own us, we gotta continue owning it and that's what online communities like xda help us do, so thanks for all your past, present, and future contributions here. So I got this Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) that I can't factory reset for a number of reasons, but mainly because I believe that there is either no boot-loader or no recovery partition as a result of Metro PCS flashing the ROM...
Anyway, lets get to the juice:
- Device powers on/off, but no combo of Vol -/+ and Power buttons bring up a recovery menu or anything (holding any combo down just boot-loops)
- Device has no SIM and no micro SD card, and the battery is not removable
- Device is locked... Like, pattern-locked/google account info/too many attempts/yada yada yada
- Device has no data and no WiFi connection active, so I could not use the google account to get past the lockscreen
- Device does not have USB debugging enabled/Google drivers for ADB do not work (Windows 7 auto-detects when I plug in the phone and installs a generic Microsoft driver which cannot be removed even after uninstalling the device, and also I pointed the Device Manager to the correct Google drivers I installed with the Android SDK Tools, as well as the Samsung Naked Universal Drivers I found on this forum, and Kyocera ADB drivers I found through Google which all failed, Windows returned a message stating that the most up-to-date or best driver for this device is already installed)
What I've tried (everything possible really):
- Hard reset/Recovery from phone: FAILED
- Connect to Linux and install ADB, then tried running the adb shell, adb devices, fastboot devices, etc but phone not detected: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and install ADB (Android SDK Tools), I literally checked every single box and installed Platform-tools, google drivers, everything, got to the command prompt as admin, cd to the ADB directory, ran same commands as in linux, also tried commands on several forums and posts like adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key to remove the lock but everything: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt to install proper drivers using RootGenius, MoboRobo, PDAnet, and several other suggestions which all were oblivious/unable to detect the device despite Windows recognizing it, so they all: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and attempt running ADB through a Cygwin terminal, but the command "sudo" was not recognized/not valid, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and use XRYViewer to extract data from the phone, possibly to see the system files and get an actual understanding of what everybody is saying you need to mount from the recovery partition, but no clue how to use this, since I can't find an XRY file in the internal storage, so: FAILED
- Connect to Windows 7 and access data/recover data from device using "Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android" and "iLike Android Data Recovery Pro" but both programs instructed me to enable USB Debugging, which is not possible, so the both also: FAILED
Despite this being my first post, I have scoured the forums here in addition to every other forum and webpage regarding this issue as well... There just isn't much about this phone except negative reviews, and I have come to the conclusion that on this particular model phone, I am out of options... I have a paperweight... I'm not very familiar with Android... So please correct me if I'm wrong...

Any input?
I'm curious if there are any options at this point, I have been trying to get through to this phone on several computers for the past couple days and it is frustrating me... Any input from the community would be much appreciated...

Mojo2XL, I guess you did not find an answer?

may be this:
*2767*3855# - Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
I found code in internet, but may be it works? can't check, my "wave" comes to me from USA by post for a few weeks..

i believe it can be done with a pc

Did you happen to get the files the other member posted that was only available for eight days?

Mojo2XL - Sort of.
I saw a youtub video (sorry no link) that says there was a OTA update that changed the phone's firmware that solved all the problems mentioned here. Thing is I have no carrier and cannot find this new firmware, but, I am still hunting....

That doesn't work on this phone the hydro wave from AT&T has factory reset protection so it cannot be reset using the volume down and power button reset

Any update?

let me work on this, been trying to master as many FRP bypasses as i can. I don't have the device but a client is in the same boat

I accidentally stumbled upon a something weird. I've managed to make the camera crash to the home screen somehow. I believe this was a result of holding both volume buttons and opening numerous menus while using the camera. My guess is that it overloads it after a certain amount of times and causes it to crash. I've gotten the android UI to crash like this before. I will try to recreate the scenario and update you guys on this. it's on a Kyocera Hydro Wave. Running android 5.0 I believe. Try going wild until the phone starts to lag. eventually stuff will crash and the lock screen may go with it. use this to your advantage and enable USB debugging as quickly as possible because it will reset itself after about 30 seconds. Someone else on YouTube has recently told me that it worked for them. I would look into doing that.

Is there anything a little more realistic possible? Lol, I can see an update available, can't connect to WiFi to update haha. The stuff they lock these phones with anymore i swear

I'm new to this forum, but NOT new to this site . I have visited here on numerous occasions seeking the help that needed . With that being said, I would like to offer a Bonafide, Tried and True way to factory reset the Kyocera Hydrowave . I KNOW that this work's for I have done in on numerous occasions for a friend of mine that works for Metro PCS ....
Step One: Completely power off the phone .
Step Two: Hold the Power AND Volume DOWN Buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY .
Step Three: DO NOT release any buttons, even when you get to the Boot Menu . (Very Important, If you don't do it right, you have to start all over lol ) .
Step Four: Once inside the Boot Menu, ONLY release the Power Button; or the Boot Menu will close and you have to start all over again .
Step Five: Use the Volume Down Button to Highlight the Wipe/Factory Reset Option .
Step Six: Use the Power Button to Select the option .
Step Seven: Watch the bottom of the screen for the progress, and then use the Volume Up Button to restart .
And there you have it . I hope that this helps out SOMEONE out there, because I feel good giving back for the help that I have received on here .
PS.( If you would like for me to post a Video Tutorial on this, can someone please tell me how to post the Video; I guess by me being a Newbie on here, I'm not allowed to do as of yet ) . If Anyone needs to contact me, as I'm not on here very often, my email is [email protected] .

As unrealistic as it may sound it actually works Trust me on this. its similar to the LG attack which... is nothing but entering a long password.
betanews.com/2015/09/16/bypass-the-android-lollipop-lockscreen-by-entering-a-really-long-password
Just give it a go. it already worked for one dude on youtube. it takes a while but it honestly works. If you can get it, update the phone as soon as possible turn the screen timeout off and let it update. when the phone resets the update will install and you will be able to factory reset.
I mean it couldn't hurt. if you're locked out with no factory reset and ADB tools won't work what else can you do?

[Q] What does 'Device is ENGINEERING' mean?

I've recieved my second MotoG 3rd gen today. Both stock, untouched. When booting to fastboot mode I've noticed that it shows 'Device is ENGINEERING' and 'Software status: Modified'
We've got a similar device for my wife so I can compare the two. This one shows 'Device is LOCKED. status code 0' and ' Software status: Official.'
The device with status Engineering does not respond to adb or fastboot commands and is not recognised in windows device manager or the Motorola device manager.
Made a call to customer support where I bought the device and I expect they will just swap it.
Still, out of curiosity, tried to google the problem but not much shows up, except a few Motorola Nexus devices that show a similar status. Does anyone know the exact meaning of 'Device is ENGINEERING'?

That's the same thing as Service Mode. Every phone has it and you normally enter into it by a series of numbers on the dial pad. There are also apps that do it. I wouldn't have a clue why yours is showing that in the bootloader unless some Moto tech left it there after testing. I would think there's a fastboot entry to stop it. I also wonder if you could go in and out of service mode after booting.
Enable USB Debugging
Open your dialer
Enter *#*#2486#*#*
There's a factory setting on the bottom checked as default.

Do I need to uncheck that radio button? There is not much I can do in that service menu. Tried to change between factory and alt but that did not change the status back to normal.

I don't know about that. I'd wait and see if Motorola gets back to you. You could try posing a question in the Motorola Owners Forum at https://forums.motorola.com/hives/08e565d7be/summary Log in with your Google ID if you haven't been there before.

i also have a phone that says engineering in fastboot mode and was wondering what it meant. its a xt1550 asia model.
my phone has a lot of extra apps however bug2go battery tracer desense tester cdbench iplog tool just to name a few. should i leave the phone as is or is it possible to flash a US retail.? any comments are welcome

[Q]Is the Huawei H710VL bootloader-unlockable, even WITH the unlock code from Huawei?

Little bit of background first...
Finally got my parents (senior citizens) into the smartphone era after StraightTalk starting doing BYOP and I'd had good service so far, but rather than use his old HTC phone which badly needed replacing, he opted to buy the Huawei Sensa (H710VL) branded by TRACFONE and with service via StraightTalk. Fast forward several months, and the old man has discovered a deal for senior citizens from T-Mobile that he likes better, and has opted to switch carriers. Well, he tried to do BYOP with TMOUS and just continue using the H710VL which he likes, but was informed that they wouldn't unlock the phone for another month because they won't do so until you've had it for a year. So therein came my opportunity to promise something I apparently cannot deliver (I told him I'd take the phone home and unlock it for him)!) He (wisely) decided not to wait for me, and went ahead and bought a new phone from TMOUS so he could initiate his new service with them without delay. But I still want to unlock this phone for him, if at all possible!
Fast-forward a few more days--well, I've been screwing around with this phone in the evenings for the past three days, trying to get the bootloader unlocked, and I'm at an impasse. First I had to tangle with the Google account verification, which wouldn't let me even sign into the phone after boot and get to the home screen because I had done a hard reset of the phone first, and didn't have the old man's Google account and password with which to sign back in. Fortunately, intrepid folks who came before me already found a way around that first hurdle. I took the following steps:
1. Went thru HWStartupGuide process until I was able to connect to my home WiFi network. So, internet connection is established.
2. Backed out of there to get to the first setup screen after the TRACFONE splash screen on boot, and used the "emergency calls only" escape hatch to navigate to the stock dialer app.
3. In stock dialer app, entered (without the quotation marks) "*#*#6130#*#*" which took me to the SIM Card Settings screen. Tapped three-dot menu, tapped, "Add SIM Contact," which took me to the native Huawei Contacts app. In Contacts app for the SIM card, tapped "Add Contact," made dummy contact called "Test" with a ph# of 1234. From list of contacts, tapped the "message" bubble icon next to the new "Test" contact, which opened the stock Messages app.
4. In stock Messages app, typed and sent message with the text "www.youtube.com." For obvious reasons the message doesn't send, but it does appear in the messages window, which renders the draft text's content into a hyperlink to YouTube. Bingo! Tapped link and opened up the YouTube app.
5. From the YouTube app, tapped the three-dot menu again, and tapped Privacy Policy from there. Now I'm into Chrome! Opened Chrome without signing in, and navigated to Google.com.
6. From Google.com, searched and then downloaded apk for Test DPC app. Installed Test DPC and set myself up as the new device owner.
7. Now that I'm the device owner, you'd think it would bypass the Google account verification requirement in HWStartupGuide, but no dice. So, rebooted, took same steps to get back into Chrome. From Chrome, I was able to get to the stock Google device search and navigate to the Settings app.
8. From device Settings app, changed settings to allow installations from unknown sources, then I set the option to allow USB debugging, and opened up the dev options to select "Allow OEM Unlock" in preparation for unlocking the locked bootloader, using the unlock code previously sourced from the official Huawei EMUI unlock code site.
So, to sum up, I've got access to the device in general, can use the web and all the apps on the device, and was thus finally able to disable HWStartupGuide to prevent the previous headache from cropping up again. Here's where the impasse starts.
I have Android SDK and everything I need on my laptop (to the best of my knowledge) to facilitate unlocking, flashing, and all the other fun stuff we love to do with our phones.
I was able to confirm the USB and Android drivers are correct and working fine, as I got both fastboot and adb to recognize and list the device when connected via USB cable to the laptop, and it worked both in command prompt and in PowerShell. Fastboot and ADB commands appear to work when facilitated and entered correctly. That is...UNTIL I tried to use the "fastboot oem unlock <unlock code here>" command. It just says "FAILED" with no error code. I tried this from my stock boot options screen (the screen you get when you boot or restart with power and vol-down pressed), and from the stock recovery screen, both to no avail.
This is where I'm all twisted up. There either doesn't appear to be a true bootloader screen to navigate to, or it's purposefully inaccessible, and I don't know how to get to it. If you do a "adb reboot bootloader" command, it just reboots the phone to Android home screen. The only options from the boot options screen are "Power (turn phone off), "Start" (boot to Android home screen), "bar codes" (screen that shows bar codes for the phone's IMEI, Serial #, etc), and "reboot recovery" (stock EMUI recovery screen), where the only options are 'Wipe/Factory Data Reset," "Wipe Cache," and "Reboot."
I feel like if I could get to a true bootloader screen that allows me to enter adb or fastboot command strings in such fashion that you can enter it and then see the process play out on your device screen, then the unlock code from Huawei would probably work and the bootloader would be unlocked, thereby allowing me to root and flash a better ROM, or at least eliminate bloatware and optimize the device for performance. But for whatever reason, and I assume it's purposeful on the part of TRACFONE/StraightTalk, tbh, there isn't a fastboot-capable bootloader screen like my years of using HTC phones taught me to take for granted.
So there I be...stuck, even WITH the unlock code from Huawei! What a crock! I know TMOUS will apparently unlock it in a month or so, but to me, that's not the point. I should be able to accomplish it on my own with the unlock code I got from Huawei. And that's why I'm throwing my hands up and begging for help.
Is there anything else I can try? Is there any other devious way to perhaps flash a different bootloader interface onto the phone that would allow me to use fastboot commands properly? Is it possible to mount the SD card from bootloader and push an apk to it that would install some kind of generic bootloader screen? I'm now a little out of my league, but I am willing to try just about anything that anyone thinks might work. Any advice or suggestions warmly welcomed...not worried about bricking the phone or anything, as it's not much better than a paperweight in its current form anyway.
Thanks!!

Total Noob Question - OEM Greyed Out, Need OEM unlocked asap Pixel 3

Hello there and thank you for your patience, I had previously considered myself smart until yesterday. You see I'm new to all this, just a bb, but I find it fascinating.
So I sold my phone pixel 3 to someone who want to have lineageOS on google Fi and wants to make sure the OEM is unlocked. Phone has sim card slot
Not knowing anything I looked it up completed the steps to get developer options, OEM greyed out, ok so I proceed to look up articles and videos, finally found what seems to be a legit solution here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...izon-pixel-t3796030/post83674835#post83674835
after downloading more software than I needed and making several attempts to access the adb command prompt on my macbook pro, I decided to borrow my friends pc to try and do it
Downloaded https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools platform tools, unzipped, shift right click in folder, no command window option
I decided to after following the instructions on the phone, just hit the up volume key and power to turn it on, it says "no command" I'm guessing because I dont have the window up and cant seem to figure out how to get it up
Now I'm. back on my macbook pro and I'd like someone to please help me, preferably on macOS but I'll take any help I can and go back to my friends broken pc if I have to (touch screen broken and keyboard doesnt work, I got a keyboard, but the broken touch screen goes crazy and it's really frustrating.
Anyway sincere gratitude to anyone who can help me as I am desperate
Update: went back to pc unzipped platform tools, shift right clicked and there was an option for powershell window, however it did not recognize any adb commands :/

I know nothing about macbooks, but according to this article you have to change some system settings to open a terminal window.
https://www.groovypost.com/howto/op...nal-window-specific-folder-windows-mac-linux/
Can you open a terminal window in any folder? If so, just do a cd command to the platform-tools directory.
Regarding your powershell window, it sounds like you are not in the platform-tools directory. Do a dir command. Do you see the adb file? If so, try ./adb. If not, do a cd to the platform-tools directory.
Do you have a Verizon branded phone? If so, you probably cannot unlock the bootloader. The link you pointed to is for a Pixel, not a Pixel 3.

If your OEM button is grayed out you are done, you can't unlock that phone.

Hi All,
Apologies, this is my first post, I cracked something trivial, but didn't find the steps or the same situation anywhere, so posting my version of events. This guide is based on the following situation
Bought a Google Pixel 3 XL - CARRIER LOCKED phone off ebay (Locked to EE)
- Running Android 10 - working fine - pre wiped
- EE SIM installed
- Wifi Connected
- Based in the UK
- I need to root this phone to perform security testing
So, for me, because the phone is locked to EE, when I did tried to enable OEM unlocking in dev options, I got the dreaded OEM unlocking unavailable on carrier locked devices.....:
Details:
Enable DEVELOPER MODE
SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > Hit “Build Number“ 7 times > Enter your pin/pattern
Go To Enable OEM Unlocking
SETTINGS > SYETEM > ADVANCED > DEVELOPER OPTIONS > OEM UNLOCKING option
However,
You end up with “OEM unlocking unavailable on carrier locked devices” and the option greyed out and disabled (Silent sobbing in the corner by my wallet)​​(See attached my mocked up screen shot of this)​​OEM unlocking is step 2 of every rooting tutorial I’ve seen (the 1st being DEV OPTIONS!) (Silent sobbing in the corner by me!)​
Reading many forums, all hope was lost, lots about Verizon phones, and specific IMIE numbers called out for versions to watch out for, blah blah until a passing comment about getting the Carrier (EE) to unlock.​
EE do this for FREE if YOU bought the phone from THEM….or they charge £8.99 for 2nd hand phone unlocks
1) So, call EE on 150 (UK)
2) Give them the IMIE number of the phone
SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > IMEI number​
3) They fill out a form and send to their back office “unlock team”
4a) Short Story – I called back and was advised to update my phone...the end​
4b) Long Story - I was told this would take 24 hrs, and they would send me an email with instructions…this never arrived, so I called back, only to be told there was a back log and it would take 1-10 days!! 5 days later, no email, no codes, no love! so I called back begging for an escalation, I was told there was a note on the account saying it was done! and the phone just needed an update….(no code, no email, no call, if I was waiting at a restaurant for you EE, I'd of left!)​
5) Next update Android to the very latest version
SETTINGS > SYSTEM > ADVANCED > SYSTEM UPDATES​​6) Wait the age for it to install and “optimize” the apps
7) I checked for more updates, found “A security patch”, went through the process again….7 more times! (took me a couple hours!)….I repeated this process until there were no more updates to collect (back to step 5 you go!)
8) Check:
SETTINGS > SYETEM > ADVANCED > DEVELOPER OPTIONS > OEM UNLOCKING option = still locked for me at this point.​
9) Perform a FACTORY RESET
SETTINGS > SYSTEM > RESET OPTIONS > DELETE ALL DATA (FACTORY RESET)​​10) Let it Reboot
11) Re-set up
Enable DEVELOPER MODE...again​SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > Hit “Build Number“ 7 times > Enter your pin/pattern​​Go To Enable OEM Unlocking...again​SETTINGS > SYETEM > ADVANCED > DEVELOPER OPTIONS > OEM UNLOCKING option​
BOOM! OEM unlocked! (for me at least)
Long oand short of it - get EE to unlock and confirm > update the [email protected] out of the phone > perform factory reset
I hope these saves time for someone out there

Forgot KnockCode Lock on LS777, need help figuring out my options

Hello, I recently found an LG Stylo 3 in one of my drawers that has a knock code on it. I don't remember the code and I already tried 66 times to unlock it (it now takes 240 seconds between each attempt). No "Forgot Password" or backup pin option shows up, USB Debugging is on but it's unauthorized, and the mode that it's on when I connect the phone to my PC is Charging Only. I just want to know what pictures I have saved on it, or if I can pull out my photos or something. I can't reboot into bootloader from the recovery options, it just reboots my phone. I'm able to go into recovery, and safemode, update from adb puts it into sideload mode, and it's connected to my wifi but because I changed my passwords on my google accounts already, the phone doesn't show up in any of my google device manager accounts.
Everything is stock, no custom recovery or firmware and it's not rooted.
What can I do now? Is there a way to reset my password or bypass it entirely? I don't care how technical it is, if given a good guide I can do it. I can't find anything to help me, hopefully someone can help my problem here.
Before anything, I didn't steal the phone, it's my old phone I had when on Virgin Mobile, I can give as much proof as I can to show that it is my phone if needed. I just don't remember the knock code
Thanks!
