yes, the "find my phone" service will work after a hard reset or new FW install, it just needs to be set back up again. If youre asking if your phone can be located after it was, for instance, stolen and them wiped and so forth, the answer is still yes, but it would take more resources than recovering a phone is worth.
If your phone was taken and you fear that it was wiped and had new FW flashed on it, write it off and move on to anther device. Its gone

No, haven't tried via bootloader.
I am not sure how safe is that, I mean i dont have my rom backup and i don't wanna mess and brick my phone trying something that i am not confident of.
So please tell me if Factory reset is safe vua bootloader ? I mean i won't have to install ROM and Kernal stuff again right ? Just a simple Factory reset and my phone will roar back to life after format ? Right ?

This makes me think twice before attempting reset via bootloader.

Hey man, I appreciate you going beyond the line for helping me out by performing a factory reset yourself ! Seriously, Thank you bro.
Haha, since it does nothing, i am glad you didn't have to take pains of reconfiguring everything after reset .
The primary reason i wanted to perform reset was, lately i am getting error "System UI stopped" and really runs low on ram.
Instead of reset, try going to recovery and choose fix permissions. That should help that problem to go away
Looks like the comment that this was a reply to has been cleaned from the thread. Sorry for adding to the ot

A factory reset usually fixes those sorts of problems.

That's what I thought as well so I did a factory reset and a hard reset with the same outcome... Everything in the settings can be accessed except the (about phone) so I'm completely lost on what to do

I think it's best you send it back to where you got it then and let them have a look. Otherwise you could try flashing your original firmware again incase your current one has missing components.

Send it it back is definitely not going to happen cause I've tried that lol... But to flash the firmware wouldn't I need USB debugging checked? I hope not cause i can't get to it and is there any tutorials that could give me a step by step instructions?

Hello XDA, this is my first post, this comunity is awesome and helped me a lot for a couple of years now.

I'd better let someone more qualified answer your query but I'm pretty sure your situation can be recovered easily. What happens if you try to reflash the firmware again with the correct settings? These phones are pretty hard to brick!

there probably is SOME way to fix it, i am sure, but the phone does not even boot into recovery.
Mediatek phones are hard to brick, haha
It is PROBABLY going to give a headache in order to find the needed files, flash the stuff again and etc using the proper way, but PROBABLY your phone will relive again. Try rooting and installing Eragon after a full wipe, if that option is available.

solution 2 worked for me.
Also i have a new problem. when connecting my bluetooth speaker it says...well maybe this belongs to another forum :good:
A firend of mine gave me a Nokia N1 tablet.
I I immediately wiped data factory reset.
When i turend it on, it asked me for the old google account and my friend forgot it.
It says "this device was reset to continue sign in with a google account previously synced".
I just tried with some tricks to bypass it, like turning off the modem while software verification. I'm stuck at the lockscreeen but i can access into folders by using PC.
How can i bypass it? Can i Just flash the original firmware to bypass it?
If yes, how do i flash the original firmware?
Thank you all!

I suggest you install the temporary cwm recovery and after you booted to it, go to the wipe menu and select factory reset/wipe this will bring the nokia back to the factory settings completly without keeping the google sync options (might as well do cache wipe also just in case)

How can i install cwm? i don't even know if the firmware is chinese or tw..
I can't use the tablet so the only way i have is via PC or paste the file to flash it in the tablet.
P.s I see a lot of people trying to bypass this but with no results, are you sure that via cwm i can do it?
Ty again!

Sorry for the late reaction.
I suggest you follow the steps in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/help/nokia-n1-root-t3125771
Until step 7, if all is good you're in the CWM recovery menu, in here select the option wipe, then select the option wipe/factory reset (this will reset the tablet to it's factory state), you will lose your personal files but not your system files (be sure not to wipe the system or data apart, as this will break your tablet/system).
If you have more problems please say so, im glad to be helping.

I tried to do it but it tells me "Fail(Command not allowed in this device state)
It's probably because i have Debug USB Off, i think.

Performing a full data format with a custom recovery multiple times will leave no personal information. Then you can go do your restore to stock ROM

Is this your first phone? First android phone? I mean a quick google search would of told you how to reset as well. Also factory reset is just that a factory reset that puts your phone back to factory specs like when you first got it. Also better information in your post would of been to let us know if you were rooted or not and not your bad phone purchasing choice.... j/k not really LOL
Hope you got it all sorted out if not let us know we will be more than happy to send you off the right way :good:

This is my first android phone, yes. It was rooted as well. I'm having a problem resetting though. I oem locked, flashed to stock recovery, and tried to do the adb usb thing. However, it keeps saying that it cannot read file. Please help! I reinstalled the drivers already. Thank you!
