I recenly acquired a PAX A77 point of sale device. After booting, it goes straight to a third-party launcher which password protects the settings menu. I am unable to access any settings and unable to access safe mode.
If I hold the volume up button while powering on, it displays a firmware update screen - but I have no replacement firmware to load onto it.
If I hold the volume down button while powering on, it displays a sick android man and says "no command."
Does anybody know how I can either remove the launcher or perform a factory reset? I just want it to behave like an ordinary android device.
Settings pass: 9876 and confirm on the app, not keyboard?
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it didn't work.
I'm afraid it needs to go home to mfg to be reset. As far as I can make out the only way to reset it is from that settings menu and if the stock pss doesn't work you'll never get into it because it's a payment device..
How do you know that is the stock password?
If I managed to find a replacement firmware, would the password be erased?
No problem. The stock password turned out to be [email protected]@
I've now done a factory reset and it's all good.

Hi,
I'm using an unlocked Nexus 5, and flashed as soon as the factory image was released. I used CF-Autoroot to gain root access.
The problem that I'm having is that the lock screen does not work. This means that when I lock the phone (power button), it just fades to black, but when I hit the button again (either immediately, or after a wait), I go straight to where I was, the lock screen does not activate no matter what I do. I've tried letting it time out, still no luck.
When I restart the phone, it shows the lock screen, but sounds like something is trying to unlock the phone, and the phone then unlocks and doesn't lock again. I've tried disabling all Device Administrators, with no luck. I tried a factory reset and then a re-flash followed by another factory reset, and the problem still persists. I've also tried toggling Smart Lock on and off, still no change.
If I go to the security settings and re-select a Screen Lock mode, then the lock screen shows up again, but after I unlock, it goes away never to return.
This has been extremely frustrating, since Smart Lock was one of the features I was most looking forward to. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
The current Root apps that I use are:
1. SuperSU (obviously) 2.23 BETA
2. BusyBox Free
3. AutomateIt Pro
4. Greenify
5. Power Toggles
6. AdAway
7. Titanium Backup
Another note: After the factory-reset, wipe, flash, factory-reset that I did, I restored all non-system Apps and data with Titanium Backup. Just putting this here in case you guys know of any app that causes this problem.

Mine fixed itself after I manually installed the latest Google Play Services apk. Maybe try that and see if it works for you...
Hello there guys!
I'm having a really hard time here and i hope you can help me
I have the LG Spirit 4G h440n10d. I had the phone rooted with kingroot and everything was fine.
After an application install that was taking a lot of memory (hearthstone), my phone started lagging before i delete it. After the app's removal, my home and open apps buttons didn't work and neither did the volume buttons. Only the "Back" button worked.
So i tried to reset factory settings from the menu. After the phone reset, i had the LG welcome page in which you insert phone name, wifi, google account, locking methods etc. so i thought everything was fine. But this happened with every restart of the phone. It seemed like the settings weren't saved and my home and apps buttons didn't work again after the factory reset.
After this, i deleted some android files (i regret it a lot) from kingroot application and... voila!
...
After phone reset i can't do nothing and it stays in LG welcome page (i get a small message that "settings" has stopped working) and phone closes by it self.
I tried to flash my phones .kdz version i found with LG flash tools 2014 but my phone stays in "update firmware" page and the program's bar doesn't move (even if i ignore the server communication error).
I saw that my phone has locked bootloader and doesn't have a recovery mode. What can i do now? How can i install a clean firmware to it? I'm willing to answer any of your questions and also i would much appreciate any help given.
Thanks in advance!

i just fixed it today
I'm having a similar issue with my g flex 2. I did a factory reset and now it does a loop on the setup wizard. I cannot get to the recovery screen by pushing the power button and volume down and I can't get it to connect with my computer with usb. Is there another way to do a hard reset?
If you stuck on Google Account , you can try this:
When you enter your email address, select all and hold your finger to showing option. "Cut, Copy, Past, Assist"
Use Assist, choose >> No thanks . And a browser will be showing.
Enter "Setting" And the settings icon will show up.
Go to Settings then Apps.
Disable every single Google app (Chrome, Slides, Sheets, Gmail, maps, Youtube, Hangouts etc. etc anything that is Google in origin.)
Disable all Google Play everything including Play Services and Store
Disable Google Account Manager and Google App
Disable Google services like calendar and contacts sync, text to speech I think, services framework, one time init, and partner setup
Also went to Security, Administrators, and removed Device Manager
---pretty sure I covered it...
back out of menu, reboot phone.
You should be able uncheck Wi-Fi and Mobile networks and still be able to hit Next at the bottom right, FRP check is disabled. Once it boots all the way into the interface, go to Settings, Backup and Reset and do a factory reset.

That was unsuccessful. Any other suggestions?
I put in my google account info and it worked fine, but it just keeps looping through the setup instead of finishing it. At the end, if I time it right, I can swipe down and get into settings so I thought I could reset it that way, but the reset option isn't even there.
Try to Reflash the phone with LGUP using "Refurbished" mode.

Thanks. I figured out how to flash it using these instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
My phone is working great again. I'm new at this but that seems like doing pretty much the same thing. One question though. Supersu is still showing up in the apps. I rooted my phone a long time ago but I figured that would have been deleted through this process.
Same isseue

Good luck.
So recently I tried completely wiping my cache from the recovery mode, but when I restarted the phone and held the power and volume up buttons, instead of entering recovery mode the phone just vibrated and booted normally. It then showed this message.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this ? I've already tried several times.

i think if you need a rooted phone just install lineageos is much faster and debloated than stock, i change my stock today to lineage and is amazing
when you change to lineageos install auroraoss store amazing app like google store
you can root lineageos so easy in recovery twrp install magisk zip thats all no problems at all
IF you want more options to play jest follow these post

That message what you have i magisk recovery script.
Magisk is installed on recovery partition and when you hold that button when phone power on magisk installing to the phone thats why vibrate
If you wanna go to recovery mode just hold same button combo before phone start logo shows and keep long as possible and you must have connected usb cable to the pc if you press button combo when logo is already on the phone then magisk start installing and thats why its vibrate
When you will hard reset i think you gonna lose magisk and root.
That message what you have should say "backup success" i think magisk is broken and for me is not working too

Do you fix this?
I have had that same issue. Unfortunately my partner's phone had a keylock on ii so these are the problems I had to face.
Draw the pattern several times but it never gave me the option to 'use a google account' so it carried on until I had to wait 65 minutes before drawing another pattern. Still no google account option.
I'd swipe down, select the wifi to get it to connect and it wouldn't let me look for my wifi to put a code in.
After a search, it gave me some software that I can download off Tenorshare so I downloaded it and tried which put me to the next problem, I couldn't get into the root menu to factory reset the phone and the phone wouldn't allow me to get into the diagnostic screen when I type on the *#09#*, I think the code is but you can get in via clicking the emergency call option. I'd volume up and power, it buzzed twice and still continued to the main samsung screen. The software from Tenorshare couldn't do much with it ie remove the google account but here's what else I did. I remembered that I used to upgrade firmware on samsung mobile phones via this website so I downloaded the Odin software, found the correct firmware from sammobile.com and that came up with something surprising. As much as I couldn't get into the root menu, I just believe that it's missing or corrupted,
so I connected the phone to the PC using the USB,
fired up Odin, Odin didn't show anything in the log but it after restarting the phone and pressing volume up and power, it buzzed twice and it went into a blue download screen and sat there. I thought, heyyyy this screen is usable.
The download for the firmware was complete and I unzipped it to it's 5 components, USERDATA, BL, AL and two others,
I had put the seperate files into the Odin software and clicked the start button. It uploaded the firmware successfully and restarted the phone so I did the volume up and power (I think I did it or the phone went into the root menu itself).
From there, I factory reset the phone, rebooted and it still asked for the draw pattern but I could set up the wifi, so since I was doing this late, I couldn't be bothered to phone the partner up to get all the email, questions etc.
So I rebooted the phone, went into the root and cleared the cache; this didn't really help at all because the draw pattern came up and when I used my gmail account; the phone wouldn't change the owner.
So I went back to the Tenorshare software and used the google account removal option and that worked;
The is completely clean and I can give it back to her, I did some google updates, galaxy store updates and it works fine. So just need to give it back.
Hello,
my friends Samsung Galaxy A51 crashed while using it, opening a google docs link she received via WhatsApp.
Restarting the phone will only show Samsung logo, then Samsung Galaxy A51 logo and then dead again. No boot loop.
In the morning the wake up alarm set in the phone plays its chimes but display remains black.
Rebooting phone with holding volume down doesn't work.
The phone is not rooted or flashed.
I can enter Recovery mode. Tried to restart system. Tried to delete cache. Tried to repair apps. None of this changed anything.
I can connect via adb but only in Sideload mode. Hoped to unsintall Samsung Browser as this might be a damaged app. But I don't have permission because USB debugging is not toggled. I tried adb restart and adb restart recovery. Phone will no restart to Android. Restarting to recovery works but doesn't solve the problem.
I can bring the phone to Download mode. Btw. none of the tutorials helped to do this. At some point I double-tapped the power button and was surprised to get into Download mode. I wanted to flash TWRP recovery to the phone to get more options to backup and recovery. Unfortunatley the OEM protection did not allow me to flash TWRP recovery.
My friend is from Ukraine and has her Ukrainian banking app registered with this phone and currently no other possibility to access her bank account. Also she has a lot of data like contacts, messages, photos and videos only on this phone. So we can not do a factory reset.
Do you have any other ideas for troubleshooting?
Do you have any ideas how to remove OEM protection without access to OS so I can at least flash TWRP and do a backup?
Do you have any other idea how I could backup the phone?
Unfortunately I still have not been successful to get the phone working again or to backup or read any data.
Just to add another information: I drained the battery to 0% so the phone was totally dead. I was not optimistic that this full power off might help any more than the restarts I did so far. But running out of ideas. It didn't help or change anything.
I'm afraid only a factory reset could at least repair the phone :-(

Without OEM-Unlocking and USB-Debugging you will not be able to install TWRP and if so then all data would be gone automatically anyway, as this is equivalent to a factory reset.
The only way would be to download the STOCK-ROM with "Frija" (quick and free) and flash it with "Odin". Of course, the mobile phone is then virgin and has to be set up again from the beginning. A Google login restores a lot of data. Setting up the banking app again (username & password, etc.) shouldn't be a problem either.
Of course you can also try a factory reset first, but setting up a completely new one is not avoided here either.
Much luck!
