F.A.Q
Q. What if my IMEI is bad or blacklisted?
A. There are a few times of blacklist... T-Mobile seems to block INTERNAL only if non payment. Others will block if non payment or lost/stolen.
This does not effect SIM unlock, I can do it regardless.... However, you WILL NOT GET NETWORK SIGNAL IF BLOCKED
Check here for T-mobile https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx and also here for all models http://imei24.com/blacklist_check/
If you are not sure ask first!
Q. Can you change/repair my IMEI?
A. HELL NO. This is not only against XDA Rules but it is illegal in most countries, including mine.
Q. Is this really free?
A. Yes, although I do hope for a donation for my time and effort
Q. When are you available?
A. See below.
Q. Can we get on with it all ready?
A. Yes!

Revoke USB authorization (if applicable)
Developer Settings > Revoke USB authorization
GSM Only
Phone dialer > *#0808# > USB = AP
Phone dialer > *#0808# > USB SETTINGS = DM + ACM/MODMEM + ADB (note, will say ACM or MODEM)
If and only IF the above doesn’t work then try:

[Q] Forgot PIN, how to reset/remove without formatting/rooting device?

My device is Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, updated to Kitkat version, 32gb. I received free copy of Kaspersky android anti virus with pre bundle software with purchase of device. I accidentally tried to disable Kaspersky Security from device administrators & it caused to "Lock" down of my device by Pin code, which I don't know. WiFi & data packet service is disabled so no internet connection can be made to device. But can receive call & but can't open sms to read. I have my valuable 20 gb data in it which I didn't back up. I request you to please help me out so that I can remove pin or reset my pin or disable this service without making warranty void or formatting my device. My tab is in stock condition (unrooted) but I don't remember that USB debugging option is activated or not. I don't want to root nor format my device. I am not getting "Forgot Pin" option which helps to reset device via Google sign in.
My plan to recover is to get wifi/data connection activated so that I can lock down device by custom password from Android Device Manager & get it reopen. This will save me valuable data & prevent me from hard reset. I am from completely non technical background but is ready to learn & perform as per guidance.
"I plead/beg you to please help me out asap & activate my wifi/data connection."
Looking forward towards your cooperation & prompt reply.

Pin Forgot. No root. No access to USB data transfer. Don't wanna factory Reset.

I have forgot my pin which was set just an hour ago. Fingerprint won't work as I restarted my device. I can't loose data. Please help me. USB won't work as device is locked.
Right now, I'm using guest mode. Where I can't even make a call. Just can access net and can't and other basic apps. Can't install any app due to insufficient storage.
????Sorry guyz. Please Lemme know asap.
you have 2 options :
1- Access your google account , and reset your pin "as if your phone was stolen"
2- "if your device is rooted" ,,
access /daata/system/
and delete "gatekeeper.password.key" file , "after making a backup" , this should make your device work with swipe only "you will not be able to have a pin"
Need help to root

Device Not Bound to Account when Unlocking

I am in the process of Unlocking my bootloader and am trying to see if I am missing a step. I got the permission text from Xiaomi and am in the process of waiting. I believe I have 24 hours left but was wanting to check within the unlock tool. When I try to unlock it says I cannot because the device isn't bound to the acct.
I have searched on other forums and it seems you might need a VPN to associate the account with the device. I have tried many VPN apps without success including the one I used on PC to get permission (Plex). Was hoping someone would have a suggestion.
TBH you I don't think you will get a good answer to this question. People will say to use many did vpns or to wait for 5-7 days ect. I'm in the same boat as you atm and I have chosen to just wait for a few days.
To confirm: the 72 hour wait starts from the moment you bind the device to your account on the phone, not from when you received the text. To bind the device under developer options you do need to use a VPN with location set to China. I used SuperVPN app and it worked first time. After that you should try the unlock tool and it should give you the 72 hour message. I did not need any VPN on the pc for the unlocking.
On SuperVPN I don't see any chinese servers.
I was able to finally get it to work. Used PlexVPN and apparently you have to be connected to WiFi for it to work.
there are so many tutorials out there how to unlock...google is your friend! Just download plex vpn on your device, connect to china, go to settings -> dev options -> mi unlock status ...scroll down and hit that button, now bind your device. that´s it... now wait 72h and you get your unlock

Unlock car multimedia system

I'm trying to find information about a multimedia system i have installed in my Skoda, the sticker on the device says CNT100, which is manufactured by CarNeTek (device page - https://www.carnetek.com.tw/products_detail/15.htm, not sure if they are the manufactures or just a reseller).
The company which sell and install it locally are not willing to share any information about the device, and of course are not willing to unlock it (to install applications from the play store, tweak configuration, etc.).
On the device there are 6 dip switches (which i couldn't figure out what they control), and no visible button (to get into recovery), i can get to the play store, and install applications - but as soon the installation is completed - they get uninstalled (there is a list of application that are not automatically uninstalled).
The launcher looks like a custom local version, there is no way to get into the settings page and the notification bar cannot be clicked (or dragged down), if i click multiple times on the menu - i get a dialog for some configuration, where i'm prompt for password (the dialog has a random number on it - which i suspect is used to generate correct password).
is anyone familiar with this device? or can suggest a way to unlock it?
(attached images of the device and the boot screen)
Hey mrtowel!
Trying to figure out that as well.
You said "if i click multiple times on the menu"
Where is this menu? possible to send a photo of that?
I'm talking about an Israeli version
Seems to be customized by [email protected]
sorry but i was wrong describing the way to get to the password dialog, on the home screen - there is a weather widget, showing the weather on the left side and the clock on the right side, multiple taps on the weather allows you to reboot the device, while multiple taps on the clock gets you to the password dialog.
I made some progress with the device - still working on getting it unlocked completely, let me know if you want more details.

Hey!
Just found that new to me. Pushed 6 times on the clock of the weather widget and got a prompt for the password. I receive a 9 digit number with that.
Also found that if you do the same on the temperature indication, you'll be prompt for device restart.
So that's a progress.
Anyways, I will be happy to hear from you, what progress you have made on this.
Will send you a PM.

try to get to app store (in case it is installed) through one of the installed apps using the 'rate us' option, you can also try and push a play store link through bluetooth, if it works - the android system will launch the play store app, and you'll be able to setup your account.
Once you get to the play store - download and install Googel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en) this will let you ask google assistant to 'Open Display Settings' (in my case this option let me enable the drag down menu, where i could easily access the settings and other stuff).
hope that helps
?
Hey did you succeed?
please help
Hi
did any one of you had any success with getting into setting menu ?
i can get to google play...but as was posted before, everything i try to install immediately erase itself.....
does any one have the approved app list from ituran ?
i do believe that together we can crack this....
thanks
Thanks for the tips I've made it to download youtube! But how I can bypass the limit to install all apps from play store?
Also how can I cancel the restrictions of using apps during drive?
Thanks
Allon
Hey @mrtowel any change you can share some more details?
I tried connecting to the USB with my laptop to try doing some adb commands but it did not detect anything
I'm also wondering about the dip switch
and how to get the password bypass
Would really like to hear some more details if you can share please?
Just came here to see if can recall my steps from last time i played with the device (i kind of gave up, as it worked well with what there is, but recent update made it work really slow).
turns out there is a post on facebook (https://facebook.com/groups/gilcar/permalink/729881061134680/?comment_id=729883497801103), i'm going to try and build some utility to generate unlock codes (last time, i managed to get to an adb terminal, but i wasn't aware of the `pm hide` option to disable the installation blocker ****).
will post updates here if i get some progress
For anyone interested, attached the list of whitelisted apps. a jar to generate the code to enable tech mode and how i disabled the installation blocker
For the jar - you would need to get your device Wifi MAC address (see old post from 2019 on how to enable the navigation bar), which can be retrieved from the 'אודות' section. (run the jar by running 'java -jar codeGen_jar.jar 00:11:22:33:44:55' - replace the numbers with your device mac address)
Wifi must be enabled - before the next step
To get to the code, hit few clicks on the clock widget in the home screen would prompt you with a password (if the code generator matches your version of connect-it (if it isn't - see bypass admin mode workaround below), the codes would match), enter the unlock code (admin mode result from the codeGen output) and move to the apps section - you would see 'tech mode' application.
Wifi must be connected before the next step
On the tech mode application - you would have another code (tech mode result from the codeGen) enter it - and it would open a page to enable adb remote server (you must be connected to a wifi network to get it to work).
Connect to the adb using a remote shell from another device (or a laptop), to the specified IP on port 1917 (note that most mobile tethering options won't work due to networking limitations). If you don't have an accessible wifi network - see Wifi Workaround below
From adb, run the following:
to disable the application which blocks installations: pm hide com.ituran.installationblocker
Disable updates: pm hide com.ituran.systemupdateservice
Disable blocking applications while driving: pm hide com.ituran.driveusagemonitor
Tips:
While in admin mode, you can see all installed applications, and pin them to the start page of the home screen, recommend to pin Play Store app (as it is usually hidden)
Don't try to enable or enter 'Guest mode' (i tried it, and the device went into boot loop)
The codes generated are date sensitive, so either generate new ones if you won't use them in the same day, or change the device date.
Wifi Workaround : a workaround can be to install modified version of 'Remote ADB Shell' (attached) on the device, save it to your mobile phone, and push it to the device through bluetooth, this version is the same version as 'Remote ADB Shell' from the play store - only names 'Spotify' which will keep it installed on the device, after installation, run it and connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 1917 instead.
Bypass admin mode workaround : while Admin Mode enables you to view the hidden applications, in the above process, it mainly gives you the option to run the tech mode app. if the code for the admin mode isn't working for you, install 'Amaze file explorer' (attached - it was renamed to bypass the installation blocker) by pushing it through bluetooth.
You can find more details on this facebook post (not mine - but i used details from this thread to figure out how to disable the application from ADB)
Enjoy and drive safely.

I have the same result, but assuming the device is already verified and secure (as stated by the closed lock picture) I think it's impossible to add a second account - or the same phone two times - to the verification request by pressing "add account and device" button.
So probably it's just a matter of bad translation in the popup, where it says check network and try again

Your account is already logged and you already have secure locked device.
I'm telling we both have this message because of this.
You logged to your MIUI account when you run first installation and you had to connect to MIUI server for security check

no i didnt have to connect it
i'm having the same issue too on a redmi 9, everything is fine mi accoint and i have mobile data on but still cant add my account
Same issue here
found the fix from some guy on xiaomi.eu forum
use this vpn https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shuttlevpn.free.proxy.gaming
Steps to fix:
1. Change Region Settings to Singapore (Settings App -> Additional Settings -> Region -> Singapore)
2. Use a Singapore VPN (Don't disconnect the VPN till the end.)
3. Log out from your Mi Account
4. Click on create an account, make sure your VPN is still connected and choose Country/Region to Singapore and create a new mi account
5. Go to Mi Unlock Status and it should work now
So it's most likely a case of incorrect translation in the popup where it reads "check network and try again."

Wait.. point n.3 means you have to log out from your account, so you can log in again but on a VPN ???
u don't log in into the same account, u create a new one using the VPN (don't turn it off during the process) on the Singapore region
So I did not get the original request.... my fault.
But the OP pictures shows that the phone is locked and secured, being logged to the account that owns the phone. So, what's the reason to add another account?
I get the same message. But did find a forum where someone said it will still work, just press the button and connect it with your PC in Fastboot with mi unlock tool.
Tried it, "you have to wait 168h..."
Seems to work, tho.
