Security Code on Phone Packaging - Is there one? Solved - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

Just wanted to check in with other Poco X3 NFC owners. When I went to register the device with Xiaomi, I signed into my Mi Account, then to the registration page where there were 2 tabs: "Verify your phone purchase", which requires the imei code. The second tab is "Xiaomi Product Authentication", which requires a 20-digit security code. The code location is shown in this picture:

}
I searched my packaging for this scratch off label, but there isn't one, nor is there a security code anywhere on the packaging. One end of the box has the SN and 2 imei codes, as does the sticker on the back of the phone. But neither shows a security code.
I contact Xiaomi support and they responded that if the label isn't there, the product may not be genuine and then told me to contact the vendor, which was Bangg**d. I have and am waiting for their response.
My question to fellow Poco owners is, did you have this authentication label on your phone, or somewhere on the packaging?
I would appreciate your response, as at this point I don't know if the phone is genuine or not. Phone works fine.

After finally getting a straight answer from Xiaomi this question is answered. The 20-digit security code is for Power banks, the imei is for phones. So no, there is no security code required for the phone.

Thanks. How do we know when the warranty started then? I want to check if the phone was used before.

Carrier Unlocking

I dropped and cracked the screen on my Photon Q. :crying: It works but it keeps acting like the screen is touched where the crack is.
I ordered a replacement on ebay and received it. I rooted it with Kingroot. It is running Android 4.1.2.
I called Red Pocket Mobile to have them activate the device on my account, but they said they could not until Sprint unlocks it. :crying:Sprint customer service tells me they cannot unlock, unless I have the following: :crying:
account number attached to the device confused: )
account holder's name (

account holder's password, or the last 4 digits of their SSN (
)
IMEI or MEID (found both under settings )
phone number attached to device
There is a phone number in the device settings. When I enter that into Sprint's customer service phone robot, she does not recognize the number. So, I am assuming the person has moved their number to some other company. (
)
Suggestions / solutions?
Could I somehow move the software and settings from the cracked one to the new one? Some kind of bit-by-bit clone or something?
Other Solutions?
I guess you could put the old motherboard inside the "new" phone. It's simple - all you have to use is a torx 5 (or maybe it was torx 4) screwdriver.
Thank you for the suggestion

I have very bad luck. Murphy must just hate me LOL. But, I will take it to a shop and have that done. Should be inexpensive if it is so easy...

Yeah they gave it to me in that email but for some reason xda labs wouldn't allow me to copy and paste the whole thing.

lift password retry limit on encrypted Galaxy S4

My dad passed this summer,
he had a galaxy S4 which probably holds many photos I'd like to recover. I tried many passwords to unlock the phone but now it says that if I try two more times it'll erase the phone. The phone seems to require the password before booting. I saw the logo and now a black screen asking for the pass.
There is a good chance I can find the password if I can try multiple ones. Is there a way to:
Remove the attempt number limit?
Copy the encrypted storage on my computer and use some tool to try passwords and decrypt it?
I'm not a 100% sure the S4 has encryption, maybe I can lift the password if it doesn't?
A best case scenario for me would be to have a way to test passwords using command line, I'm a programmer and could make a small script to test combinations of passwords and numbers I know he used.
Any help or insights appreciated.

Bought used P40 Pro, can't activate because it's still linked to a Huawei ID. Seller not responding...

I rather naively bought a used P40 Pro through the local equivalent of facebook marketplace. It arrives by mail, I go to activate it, and it says "this device is already linked to a Huawei ID". I attempt to contact the seller and get no response. What can I do at this point? Is there some way of bypassing the Huawei FRP? The phone came with a box, which lists the serial number. I started to fill out the form to send to Huawei to "request activation" but it wouldn't let me submit without the Huawei ID, which I don't know. At this point, what are my options? Should I take it into a Huawei shop? Should I attempt some kind of EMUI 12 to 10 downgrade and then try a FRP bypass? Does that actually work? Thanks for any help you can offer.

DZ09 dead after imei change

Mod translation:
Hello, I will tell you about my experience, I have 2 dz09 watches for some reason in my country they blocked my factory imei
Change the imei of the first watch but forget to put the SN1 (factory serial number) and the watch no longer turns on or detects it as a USB device.
On the second watch I did the same, but now I made sure that the serial number was the same as the factory one and the IMEI was changed successfully.
So the problem is the serial number.
Has anyone managed to turn on the DZ09 watch after forgetting the serial number?
The tool I use is "Write Imei R3.0.0.1"

The clock driver that works now is this one to use as a guide for the driver
(The clock that forgets to put the serial number is not detected by the computer at all)

Never heard of this. AFAIK an IMEI typically gets blocked / blacklisted by carrier when they get informed device got stolen.

For some reason the Chinese imei dz09 in my country with the original imei appear as sim registration invalid
But on the theft website, the imei does not appear as stolen.
