Hello,
I'm sorry to bother you with an apparently repetitive thread, but I assure it is not.
I've been dealing with this problem for over a year now. Of course there were times that I simply gave up, but every now and then I searched all over the internet (seriously; very resilient, I am) and tried everything. Nothing seems to work.
The issue is: one day I was reading something on Google Reader and the tablet restarted. When it came back, it was in this password screen.
[AS A NEW USER I COULDN'T POST THE IMAGE - please see attachment ending in 41]
Detail: I had never, EVER set any kind of password. I don't do this with any of my devices unless I'm obliged to (as in Windows 8, this big piece of shiite).
So the thing is: I did not set a password, I did not choose to ask for a password in any situation and there isn't a single combination that I haven't tried. The thing doesn't even ask me to stop -- like 'hey, you've tried your 30k input, I think you should stop now'.
Now, for you not to start cursing me, I tried EVERYTHING that is basic and post-basic to fix it. I did wipe the data, I tried flashing another ROM, I did cold boot, factory reset, EasyFlashed, nvflashtf and whatnot. I swear to GoogleGods that I, as a non-expert-but-very-keen-on-technology, could.
Another thing that happens is when I try to enter the recovery mode, after using the nvflash, it doesn't work. The image that appears to me is this one:
[SAME THING -- attachment ending in 38]
Again: I'm not a complete noob. I know how to get into things; all I need is a simple guidance. I'm really sorry if this has been posted before and only I couldn't find it, but I won't be so if someone helps me to get it and solve my problem. I can't stand this anymore -- now it's just a matter of pride.
Thank you all.
This happened to me on my SL101 after I flashed a ROM of some sort. I used ADB commands to push the stock ROM back to it and to push another Recovery to it. Mine was in worse shape, Recovery loop, and then I finally got it to where yours currently is. My physical nor on screen keyboard would even work. Look up some ADB commands, perhaps you already know them, and attempt to either push the stock ROM or a new Recovery blob back to it.

Yeah, well, y'know, I'm not at this level yet, but I'll dig into ADB and stuff.
I tried to use this sometime in the past, but my computer was so bad back then that I had to give up to keep my sanity. Now I've got a fairly good one (very good, considering the few things I use it for), however much less time.
Tonight is the night, though. I'll study as much as I can and I'll fix this ****. Any tip you may remember now would be useful.
Thanks.
I'm struggling with something even before I start: there's no way I can get access to the system and turn the USB Debugging on.
I know I'm not getting much attention, but I won't give up. Please just do not accuse me of spamming; I'm just a desperate geek that has been kept away from his toy.
Alright, after the childish speech, here's the latest update: I cannot use de ADB thing because there's no way I can turn on the USB debugging mode.
Or is there? The latest news is that I can get access to some system files through the ASUS File Manager (turns out it still reads the MicroSD Card, even though I could not update the device this way). So, technicians, is there a way to hack into this beast? Fu ck, I don't even know how to call it anymore.
There isn't much I can do with this File Manager. Mostly visualize the folders and rename this and that (which is the only thing I reckon might be useful).
Jesus, I'm sleepy, I can't even write properly anymore. Please someone help me. It can't be that hard.

For some reason i thought you were on th sl101(slider) so i didnt comment. So heres the deal, any fix is going to be data destructive(nothing you can do at this point as even if you manage to pull data from the tablet, it will be encripted) You need Easyflasher(dev section) follow the instructios there (basically donwloading stock firmware from asus and by using nvflash in apx mode it will re-partition storage, and upload the stock firmware to the tf101)
If you hit any problems, post them here and ill help you further
Edit: just read you post more, if you tried easyflaher and it didnt work, please post the details of what you tried within easyflasher.
Its a strange issue, if it happend to me and id tried the things you already have, this is what id try:
-Flashing ubuntu from the dev section(i known very little about how nvflash works but it maybe only re-partitioning certain partitions, ubuntu i would imagine would require a full re-partitioning)
-alternativly (or on top of the previous idea) use one of the ubuntu installers(OLiFE on ubuntu worked the best for me, but franks tools/ newer software based on franks tools should work fine) and flash the Prime! rom on its own.
If these dont work, your last resort is asus - but thats a long shot lol

If you can't get into anything, but you can enter APX Mode, but NVFlash doesn't work, then I'm not sure anything will as NVFlash completey deletes and recreates all the partitions on the drive
So unless you have been unlucky and downloaded a bad version of an NVFlash ROM....
I know you say you have used NVFlash but I`ll stick this here anyway
The way I restore is:
Connect tablet to PC and make sure the tablet is turned off (Make sure it is the only USB device connected other than keyboard/mouse)
Hold Volume Up + Power for a few seconds until you hear the USB connect sound on the PC, release the buttons, you are in APX mode
Install APX drivers if you have not already
Now extract this
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/Asus/Asus%20Transformer%20(TF101)/STOCK%20ROMS/ICS%20.27/NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.27_WW_NOROOT.7z
And run "download.bat"
I think you should see some text appear on the tablet screen, and progress will be shown in the command prompt window on the PC
Wait for it to complete 100%
Its been a while so I can't remember if the tablet will reboot on its own or if you need to hold power for 30 seconds to get out of APX mode
Either way, make sure it is completely finished and reboot the tablet
Only thing I can remember going wrong with NVFlash was the first time I rebooted after a sucessful boot, it would hang on a black screen
Just hold power for 30 seconds and then power on normally, done, if it has worked you have your tablet back, if not, I think its a hardware issue > see asus
Im very keen to get this fixed/ find the issue as uptil now I thought the tf101 was virtually software invincible, you need to pay attention to what the nvflash process says, the one thing I can think of as to why nvflash didn't work is it can't write over encrypted partitions although that would make no sense why it wouldn't.
Just a suggestion... make sure you're not docked. Some people report issues when nvflashing while docked (I can't replicate those issues except with the Tubuntu tool).
Is there a solution?
I also have an error! see picture
OK so I recently switched this neat, cheap and decent entry phone, and of course wanted to root and unlock the bootloader.
Using the technique outlined in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066887 "[ROOT][CWM] Huawei Ascend Y201 Pro U8666" I managed to happily root the device. Meaning I could install droidwall and adfree, and uninstall one or two of the annoying Huawei apps. (Surprisingly there are less Vendor apps on this than the previous Ideos U8150 I had.)
So happy that that worked, I thought I would go to the next stage and unlock the boot loader, in preparation for maybe installing clockworkmod recovery. And eventually a ROM if I could find one that looked "safe" and sound.
Cranking up the "UnlockBootloader.exe" as before and clicking the unlock BOOTLOADER initiated something on my phone... However when I switched off my phone preparatory to rebooting, I found what I guess to be a bricked/borked device.
There's no vibrate, no flash on screen, no logo, no pink screen that other people talk about in the few reports I have found around the web. Just that the lower backlit soft buttons flash ten times and then nothing else happens. I can't even find information about what this obviously low level failure message means...
As you can guess, I have tried all sorts of things to get it going: battery removal; powering from USB while botting; any and all of the key press holds for boot; all to the same effect. Have tried several times to find anything similar on the net and can't seem to find anything similar. Especially the ten flash indicator
So my question is "Is this an absolute sign that the device is bricked?" I guess I could try to play the innocent and send it back under warranty, but I guess someone will realise it was my fault. Unless a memory failure happened at the exact time I was flashing/unlocking...
And a warning that same device owners should be careful when following the guide. I'm pretty sure I had everything as outlined. I'm running XP, didn't have it mounted, had fastboot off, etc... Although now its hard to check on the device to see if that was the case
and also
I should also perhaps add that before using UnblockBootLoader with root success, I tried the ICS "adb restore" directory traversal vulnerability, which is part of Root_with_restore, and was unsuccessful.
And that there's no life reported at a low, USB device level to my linux kernel, when plugged in now. So I can't even try a firmware patch using adb etc.
Of course I can't post a relevant cautionary note into the above mentioned thread, as I have yet to reach the 10 post milestone mark, enabling me to post in that section...
Hi,
Sorry for opening an old thread, have the same issue and just wanted to know if you manged to resolve this or it you just took it back to the shop?
Regard
No solution
No - I never managed to work out or find a solution. I just got a new one, and only went as far as the root'ing stage.
I have never seen an applicable ROM for this device anyway, so I guess it wasn't too much of an issue. And root'ing to get those crucial management apps installed, and also being able to remove some Huawei "cruft" is the real thing you need.
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..

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....

I'm having the same problem, I have been trying to get this thing to hard reset for a week now. There has to be a way to reset this Hydro Wave.. Has anyone dealt with this thing?
Hey hold the buttons as follows volume- & power at the exact same time while your phone is off be warned if you phone was preowned you need the goole account originally activeated with that phone if you do not have that then your in the same vote as me i cant remember any of my gmail account info to my wave from when i had it active I have litterally tried every thing to recover the info and i still can't recover it

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?
I purchased the new Verizon Ellipsis 10 in late November. I believe the tablet was released for sale in mid November. My question is can it be rooted? I see the Ellipsis 7 and 8 can rooted. Wondering if anyone would be working on this or because it from Verizon no one cares. I can't find the tablet mentioned on any search that I do. I Have been checking daily to see if the device will have development on it. Thanks in advance for any information.
In the same boat. Need some help you smart tech guys out there. How can I root my Ellipsis 10?
I have the same tablet, and I do not think it could be rooted, at least not in the near future. The tablet comes encrypted (which I am not too happy about....I just noticed it) and cannot be decrypted, even if you do a factory reset. It runs fine as it is, but would be greatly enhanced if it could be decrypted. I also think there are very few devs on this forum that really care a lot about this tablet, so you may not see too much work being done on it.
Same here, just picked one up. Really hoping that there will be a root for this at some point soon. Someone please help us all out!
wish I would have saved the 50$ now, and got the Samsung tablet for free... it's OK, the biggest problem for me is the audio output being too quiet. all the "volume booster's" on the play store have been jenky, to say the least. if anyone has suggestions of a "good, volume booster", or work around, please let me know. thank you for you time.
Oh, No! Sadness!

qtair7 firmware files
https: / / " www dropbox com " /s/f8ye7yw24mjqiva/IR7-20C59.7z?dl=0
just fix the text when u enter in address bar (-""'s,+.'s)
so i downloaded the IR7-20C59..7z package from the software upgrade/repair tool from verizon... I extracted the files and sent the boot.img to my tablet (qtair7) and used magisk manager to patch the boot.img then I used ubuntu to adb pull the magisk-patched-boot.img and modded it using abootimg and changed a few things from default.prop.. ro.secure=0 ro.debuggable=1 and drm.service.enabled=false .. (just saying im an amateur android enthusiast with little experience. ive played with image kitchens and compiled a kernel and ported a rom for the samsung on5 indie variant to have sound on my smg550t1. worked but all google services and apps crash constantly.. but anyways) i dont really know what im doing just saying this is what i did. repacked magisk-patched-boot-new.img then i sent the adb reboot fastboot command to my tablet and it fastboot flashing unlock , fastboot flashing unlock boot, fastboot flash boot magisk-patched-boot-new.img. fastboot continue, fastboot reboot.. the tablet boots and is rooted with magisk.. now i installed busybox to sbin. i have done this 2 times. im not sure if its the busybox or the magisk, but when i reboot following the above steps i get the verizon splash screen and in the bottom righthand corner of the screen it says modified. then boots to recovery. and now can only boot to recovery. now i have the upgrade/repair tool .iso on usb flashdrive that i use to repair my device from this state. which sometimes is a pita.. i have to continually attempt to repair sometimes it takes 2 days.. before it finally works.. i dont know why.. but it boots from fastboot the first time fine. and would like to know how to stop the soft bricking of my device or how i can obtain a twrp.img for this device QTAIR7.. please help ive been working on rooting my tablet for over a year. and feel that i am very close . thanx
Anyone interested in the system.img or any other partitions.. the Dropbox file is only the recovery flash files. I think. I know I couldn't edit system.img from the file with any kitchen but the system.img I dd'd from my device can be edited with kitchen. It's is 3.7gb so in not going to post unless someone can do something with them
Please share some info on the file you posted,..

Hello, THANK YOU!! This is the most progress I have made in months! I don't know what it is, what it offers, or what to do with it yet, but it is a step!
Could you maybe say what it is, what it will do (how it helps..) and what to do with it?
My Verizon Ellipsis 10 (qtair7), even after wiping the cache, even after doing a factory reset, (even after 'disabling' all but FEW APPS!) JUST SPONTANEOUSLY REBOOTS every time i try to do anything, I try to watch a video it is fine for 5 minutes or an hour then I push volume up or touch the screen and suddenly it reboots, totally random, Clearing the cache gets it to works for a while but it always does it again it has NEVER been usable really,.. It pops up some screen often like"Google Play Services have stopped' something like that,.. Will this help with any of that? Make it more,. stable?
I wish I could just do ANYThING simple to make it better I just use it for video playback,.
THANK YOU!
I have the same tab with the same issues. Rebooting, random cut out and full on reboot. Just before it became target practice I decided to take it apart, just because that's what I do when I'm bored and my ADHD is taking over. I looked up the tab on youtube to see if there was any vids of how to get it apart and found a guy that said he fixed the with the tablet that no one could figure out. Meh I was like ok I'll give him a couple seconds checked it out. He found that all connections, screws holding boards down, and power were all loose. Once he went through all of that it had fixed the issues. So I tried it and damn, everything from screws holding boards down to power feeds were all loose, really bad loose. Got mine working good now. Haven't had issues since. Now if I can get it rooted I'll be good. And I suspect the loose connections would also potentially cause the battery to go bad from excessive amperage draw and charge in short time, over time.
A guy that is apparently a hacker hacked into all my devices and have been controlling my phone. I just don't know how to get him off. Here's 2 pics of the recovery log.
It's taken me 2 months of reading different forums to kinda figure out what he has done to my phone. I just don't know how to fix it and get him completely off. Right now he can control all apps and anything I do on my phone. If I need to upload more logs I will do that.
I see NO logs whatsoever here. Can you please add the logs?

Yes sorry I thought I did put them up here's 3 pics I'll post the rest in a minute I'm gonna get an app that will generate logs.
If this post vanishes that means he deleted it. If been trying to post here for over a month now.
How did you find out he hacked you?
What's your phone model? (Edit: from the logs it is probably a Moto G Stylus 5G 2022)
(PS I saved those photos so I have them even if they're deleted)
@HackD_1 you might be able to reflash the firmware if you're scared, but I still want to know how you found this out (it would be helpful) and if you know what exactly he did.
Sorry for the delay in response.
Yes my phone is a moto stylus 2022 5 G.
I found out after a series of events took place that ended in me catching him on my network. When I confronted him and told him I got a screenshot is when the attacks really started.
He hijacked my network by installing openwrt on my router. I had TMobile home internet and they supply the router so I couldn't just go buy a new one. I eventually got a new router but he just did the same thing to the other one. It got so bad I had to just turn my internet off. In the beginning the attacks would be in direct result of things happening. He moved out but he still has my phone under control. When I buy a new one he just hacks it this is phone 5 in 2 months.

Im actually not sure what all he has done. I do know he uses system apps and changes permissions. He uses project treble to get system root and then he somehow has root privileges over on the phone. He can delete or just turn off any app he wants. It's so complex it's hard for me to even explain. Here's logcat logs hopefully it will help so you can help me.
I tried to reflash the firmware with the moto rescue and recovery but it stopped half way through. He messed the computer up so bad I can't even get on it without him knowing. Then he stops all downloads that have to do with fixing the phone.
It's extremely aggravating.
Ok this person is extremely intrusive and seems to be targeting you.
I have a question: the TMo gateway already runs openWRT, so how do you know he has access?
Did this happen to all your phones? Does he have physical access to your phone?
Can you reset your PC from Windows recovery (or settings if it is a Mac)?
And how do you know that he did it?
Can you boot to Recovery (volume down while powering on) snd send a pic?

Follow the instructions to the link above you can manually flash the firmware and that should bring it back to it's out of the box state...
You will need to put ur device in fastboot mode and will need to install the adb Motorola driver's

@Cheshire147 @HackD_1 Don’t use that MediaTek flash tool; it won’t work in this case.
You should use RSDLite (Motorola’s internal flash tool; it works on 10/11 in my experience if you don’t plug your phone into a blue USB port (usb 3.0) ) to flash this (firmware for US retail version of the G Stylus 5G 2022).
and @HackD_1 The extent to which people on XDA can help you with are with tech related issues. If this gets serious, please report this to your local authorities.
Also, backup and reset any other devices (you said your pc is messed up) to remove any makicious software lingering on your computers, and DO NOT give this person access to any of your devices to make changes.
You should also change you WiFi password and take ALL devices off the network (for security purposes).
@HackD_1 Also, how come you now have 5 phones? You can reset all of them and sell off / give away the ones you don’t want.

I know there's only so much people on here can do. This whole thing has really been one of the worst things that's happened to me. People don't think about how much loosing control of your cell phone will stress you out. The aggravation I felt in the beginning of this because I didn't know what was wrong or how to explain it so everyone would say things like. It's possible to control a cell phone but it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY your phone is hacked. The helplessness I felt from not even being able to get tech people to believe me was unreal.
It's already gotten worst. There's no money in it for him so I thing he is getting bored with it all.
Worst part about all this and imagine how helpless you would feel when you finally say ok enough is enough and call the police just for them to say there's nothing they can do.
So here's what I know. He hacked into my network. Once on he could attack my devices. To get into the device he used either Google apps or Motorola app or even system update then once I unknowingly click his package it's game over
Project treble gets enabled and the recovery partition gets a genteric system image from AOSP once his OS is installed on my device he controls it like a developer building an os except he does things to stop me. I'm not even sure how this is possible if my bootloader is still locked.
I did read something about project treble and being able to flash certain images without unlocked bootloader so I guess that's how.
I wish i could have gotten the MOTO R&R to work but I think he did something to the download file. If I'm downloading a file he don't want me to have he will do a man in the middle and take away from the file or add to it to mess it up. I've download the Stock OS fir the stylus probably ten times. He will mess them up during download or delete them when he sees them in my phone.
I don't even have a computer anymore because he screwed mine up and got it stuck in boot loop.
If I had a USB OTG cable then I could download it onto a USB drive and install windows but mine unfortunately broke.
I have a question. Can I flash the phone using wireless debugging and another phone using tetmux or something similar?
He probably has tetmux configured to not flash it.
It seems every solution I try he has blocked.
Also if I flash the phone will that delete all the partitions? He has a bunch of partitions I've noticed. He's been kinda quiet these past couple days. Usually this post would have been erased and me blocked from this site.
He is also using my USB interface to gain access.
Rmnet. I know he's using it but can't figure out how to stop that either.
@HackD_1 flashing wirelessly is not going to work.
If he was intercepting requests to Google/Motorola servers (although idk how he signed any system apps for update), you should first fix your PC and network before trying to flash your phone.
You can order a Windows usb from eBay or something if you need windows now. And keep a USB around next time.
And can you remove all connected evices from the router configuration and change your wifi password?
