All I need is to not have to "touch" the android to begin. is there any way to bypass this completly
Rooted? Stock?

I've had my wife running custom roms but I'm tired of her complaining about somethings that seem strange... so I want to put her back 100% stock, including losing root and the latest HBOOT (so she loses NAND unlock as well). I honestly think something is wrong with her phone, which is why I want it back 100% stock so if it keeps doing funky things I can take it to Sprint. Her touchscreen is constantly losing responsiveness and the only way to get it back is to manually turn off the phone (with the power button), then turn it back on... also, her proximity sensor isn't working and she keeps hanging up the phone with her cheek...
Does anyone know where I can get a file for this? Thanks.
Also, if she decides, she hates it, is the latest OTA rootable yet?
Search button works
Its been posted a few times in the Dec section
from my phone duh
If I could find it, I would have. All I can find are modified ROMs. Thanks for nothing.
I think you can just go into your phone settings and do an update. (System update >htc software update ) and it'll bring the phone back to stock. It'll probably overwrite everything ....
Wow this was hard

those will kill root, but they wont turn S-OFF to S-ON. That would be a different thing entirely. Plus, those are the older roms. Would need to take the update after updating to those... just sayin.
Since unrooting it will wipe data anyways, why not try downloading a new rooted stock ROM, wipe your data/cache/dalvik-cache (each twice just to be sure) and then flash the new stock ROM and see if that helps. If not, then you can go ahead and proceed with unrooting and bringing the phone back to Sprint for replacement/repairs. Just thinking this might be easier than unrooting, updating with OTA, and then finding out you want to root it again later....but that's entirely up to you.
Good Luck
So I just had a pixel that popped up that's either stuck or dead. I've tried the apps in the play store to try and fix it, but no luck. I have 7 days to return to amazon wireless. The question is, should I. Its really not that bad, and its a hassle to have to redo my phone, but I notice it, no one else does.
My question is, If I did return it (exchange or whatever) should I relock the bootloader, unroot etc? Or....who really cares...send it back as is? I would obviously nandroid back to my stock image at least though and do a factory reset.

Backup your current system/data with a nandroid.
Transfer it to your computer along with whatever "sdcard" data you want to keep.
Then restore whenever you get your replacement.
Flash back to stock and relock.
You might as well...it takes 10 minutes. And what if they have a problem with it not being stock and locked?
I don't know their policies but they might charge you full retail to get an exchange...half price...or return your original phone.
Whatever the case may be, it's just not worth it.
I'm ready to do this today. My concern is this....if I flash back to my stock image, won't it still have SuperSU installed? Also, my recovery will still be on there as well won't it? Or will relocking the bootloader eliminate Clockwork?

Call Project Fi. Talk to them. They'll probably send a replacement (no waiting for repair). You can always talk to them and then after hearing what they say decide no.

Wow. I spend so much time on Reddit ignoring these threads until today.
Allow me to set the scene, I'm a student who loves to tinker and modify, and the idea of unlocking my bootloader, rooting, and running custom ROMs on my device seemed fascinating at first. Becoming an avid user of this after fashing my device countless times and performing backups, I began to find a system thatworked for my device and was stable. Having not flashed anything for months on my phone, I had no reason to take a backup of my phone. Until today.
Realizing I had too many garbage apps on my phone, too much RAM being used, and my SOT being garbage, I decided on deleting some of the 222 apps I keep for fun on my phone. With that, I used my phone's built in free space client which cleared unused apps and saved photos. However, it also included my downloads folder where I consciously chose my downloaded ROM and vendor images to save space (Remember, my build was stable at the time and I wanted space to do an eventual nandroid backup). After deleting those flashable files I continued about my day as usual. However, until the end of the day I realized my phone was logged out of my school's wifi, so I logged back in. My phone then began to lag, and a combination of the phone and me using the powerbutton allowed it to reboot. Then it began to bootloop. Normally as a flasher bootloops are easy to get rid of, or may ensue for minutes after flashing a file, however this was consistent and I had no ROM to flash over it, muchless boot to TWRP to do it. I couldn't boot to anything but the system's own recovery mode. I gave the phone some time alone and tried to research how to fix the problem without opening the phone up and soldering. When I attempted again to boot the phone I realized I got boot into TWRP. However, that was shortlived as, when I tried to make a backup the phone froze and rebooted. Going home with my head in my hands, I later tried booting an hour and a half later making my whole boot animation until the very end when the name is shown and the lock screen should load, that's when it began to loop again. I spoke to my father who bought the phone through Project Fi, who recommended me to talk to support. However I just realized: A) If I send it, I lose my data or have it tampered with in a repair. B) If they attempt to boot it, they will see its void of warranty due to the bootloader unlock and rooting and might not honor my warranty (although people have done it after warranty, NOT BECAUSE IT WAS DEVOID BY UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER/ROOTING). C) I bought it on sale for like $250 for 32 GB so money I get back won't cover a Pixel or another phone I can tinker with again with AOSP roms (and I'm not trying to wait two years for Android O, the only other phone I would consider is a OnePlus 5 which launches in the summer and would be around $450).
What would you guys suggest I do?
1. DIY solder and fix
2. Continue tampering to find way to copy off data (I need suggestions)
3. Send it back completely wiped or in way it is to fix
4. Have it replaced with money (and then what phone would I buy?)
And finally do I go to Google Store, Project Fi, or LG to have this issue resolved while ommitting the fact it has been modified?
P.S.: While writing this, this actually booted up for 5 minutes and worked until it crashed and entered the loop again.

If you can get into recovery again, do a factory reset and see if it'll boot. If so, take the opportunity to back up your files then flash the factory images to go back to stock so you can get a replacement. Good luck
Is there a way to circumvent or remove the lock screen pattern on an Android One phone? Mi A2 Lite running the January security updates, stock ROM, stock boot loader.
My brain monkey threw a wrench and for the life of me I can't figure out which pattern worked on my phone. I Have tried many combinations and reached a point where I am down to 30 minute lock out between attempts.
Is there any way to bypass this? I have a year's worth of data in my phone from a loved one that I don't want to lose. :crying:
I know that factory reset resolves the issue, but I don't want to lose the data. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there.
After some struggles I got my phone rooted, found that fingerprint doesn't work, then went back and forth for quite a bit, putting my phone into and out of multiple boot loops and stuck red magic icons along the way. Suddenly 4.15 dropped...and it's not on redmagic.gg site...just as I decided i want to root my phone after all.
I have 3 questions. First, may I ask if there is a way to extract boot.img out of my phone?
Via adb shell I was able to locate both root_a and root_b. However since I don't have root access I can't actually get them out of my phone (i.e. dd if=... of=... gives a nice permission denied). There are also talks of using custom recovery to extract boot image, however I wasn't able to find any for redmagic 6. Am I missing anything?
Second, I noticed that fingerprint reader dies as soon as I unlock flashing, not when I flash unsigned images. However words in the shadow (basically that 1 guy in that how to guide on this forum) speaks of a way to maintain fingerprint functionality on a rooted phone. May I ask how that might be done? More whispers enveloped in darkness (also 1 guy in the chinese nubia forum) tells of a way to root while not even unlocking bootloader. May I ask what is that sorcery?
Finally, despite this being my first phone with good fingerprint scanner, I've grown to really like it. I noticed there's no data wipe on relocking bootloader. Is it possible to makes some changes (say Vance my youtube apps, modify some settings, get rid of some bloatware) before locking back?
Last I did this (I installed vanced my youtube, installed local update, then relocked bootloader) I was sent into a boot loop that took a bit to get out of. I'm a tad scared but also can't tell if it categorically won't work or I was perhaps just unlucky.
