If you factory reset phone ( via recovery mode, activated by restarting phone then pressing the power button 3-5 times when HUAWEI appears on the screen), does it disable Huawei's Find My Phone and remove the associated Huawei id? Or is it like iPhone where there's an activation lock and you need to enter your Huawei id password to use the phone even after factory reset?
I know if you try to factory reset the phone normally through settings->system&updates->reset->reset phone, you will need to disable Find My Phone first. Just wondering if factory resetting through recovery mode somehow bypasses (Huawei's) Find My Phone, since it doesn't ask you to disable Find My Phone before doing the reset.
Nope.

hello.. phone is bricked. However.. I'm not able to enter fastboot mode through hardware button combo.
I can enter reset menu to factory reset/wipe cache, however that puts me back into huawei logo bootloop.
Phone is always on, if i hold the button it will restart into bootloop.
Took it to a huawei shop and they couldn't restore it.
At this point I'm not sure what I can do.
The data was reset, so the USB debugging will be turned off.
My other option is to flash it through SD card...
But when I load the upgrade menu, it continuously fails at 5% error.
I tried 701 and 703 ROMS.. not all of them...
is there another way to access the phone without usb debugging, to restore it back to functional condition?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello guys. I am having an issue with a Meizu E3 phone. I have received it from a friend a few days before he left the country. It has an issue that after it was booting, it was ending up at a black screen, although the light was coming to the panel. The only operation that I could've to perform was holding the power button and the power off and restart icons would show up. After a few attempts, I was able to update it and everything was back. Now my friend is out of the country so I asked him for the pin for the phone, but he doesn't remember it as he used the fingerprint all the time. And I cannot find a way to factory reset it. I cannot do the volume up/down + power combination because I don't have a wipe option. The only option available is to clear user data BUT it requires the pin ... I can get the phone in fastboot tho, but I couldn't reset from there either. Trying to reset the pin through google account is not going to work because I can't connect it to the internet (as you need the pin to turn the wifi on or the mobile data).
Do you got any suggestions?
UP!

You've tried the "fastboot format userdata" command but it isn't working?
If the stock firmware is available for the device, try flashing the stock firmware.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have tried to format/erase userdata and everytime it says "FAILED (remote: Erase is not allowed in Secure State)"
Could you tell me how can I flash the stock firmware on it? Because the only option I have for it in the bootloader is to upgrade the firmware.
I have a package flashing with Qualcomm 9008 mode,link is here. https://mega.nz/#!4YdmyIwJ!QpximadRwxdajGZPj-y91iozBvqNCZloL8FlEQPizIc
btw,in the first time, I flashed it in a wrong way, and now it lost it's SN, how can I restore it ?
Could anybody unlock bootloader with this package?
I have my brothers phone which has been dormant for a couple years. He wants to use it again but forgets the unlock pin. How can I reset the phone e.g. through recovery mode etc. (by the way, I can't enter recovery mode from off state using power and -vol)
Can anyone help step me through it?
N.B. I can not use the main menu
Cheers
Hello,
I am having trouble to do factory reset with my phone.
During Factory Reset it is asking for a PIN.
Input my PIN (Incorrect)
Removed my PIN (still asking for a PIN)
Changed my PIN (still Incorrect)
Tried doing hard reset (Power and Vol -), the phone will vibrate but black screen.
Tried using Android Multi Tool, cannot detect my device (always offline)
Tried using Sony Companion, when my phone tries to reboot it will fail.
Phone model is 501SO.
Bootloader is locked.
I made the mistake of Factory Resetting my phone after a few failed attempts at remembering the Pattern to unlock the phone, in doing so I ended up being stuck in the set-up process because I forgot the Google account I was logged into on it before the Factory Reset, had been an account I just quickly made on the spot months ago just to set up an app on it. I'm posting here for help with this since I'm on day 4 of trying to find a way to bypass this and my head is ready to explode. I feel like someone with a fresh mind would be able to point me in the right direction.
If anyone can let me know if I'm doing something wrong or missing some steps that will help me try any one of these, or honestly any advice at all... I'd very much appreciate it and it'd help relieve a huge chunk of this ridiculous headache this has all been.
Thanks in advance!
What I've tried thus far --
- I know for most ways around this, USB debugging needs to be enabled. But since I cannot get past the initial set-up process, I can't access the settings to enable it.
- I also know that for a lot of Android devices USB debugging is enabled by default in Recovery Mode but everywhere I've searched for the hardware combination to boot into Recovery/Download mode, all say the same thing:
Turn phone off > Power up with Vol. Down + Power button until 'Download Mode' is displayed (for boot into Download mode, while holding Vol. Down + Power button plug OTG cable into device)
- My problem with this is that on my device, Vol. Down + Power button, restarts the phone. So instead of 'Download Mode', I'm just restarting the phone over and over again. I was able to get my phone to boot into was Safe mode using the Power button + Side button.
- I've also tried getting around this through a series of steps which involved the 'TalkBack' accessibility feature, but when I try toggling to enable it I just get a message saying "Complete setup first to continue"
From there --
I started looking up Stock ROMs that I'd be able to just flash the firmware. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to find anything for this device. And this is where I'm pretty much at now.
To remove FRP lock you boot into phone's Recovery mode and apply
1. Wipe data
2. Factory Reset
Every Android device gets shipped by default with Android Recovery.

I can't get my device to boot into Recovery mode. Everywhere I look up, it tells me to Power off device, then Press Vol. Down + Power key until the menu appears. But on my device, all that combination does is force the phone to restart.
