Nice Phone bricked By WIFIunlocker!!!! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now I can officially confirm.
The phone is bricked by WIFIunlocker
Now it does not even go to recovery as it asks about the password. Before i could at lease answer the calls but now it does not even load the system and it asks about password.
Same as for this fellow.

On what level it is messing up that full flash does not help?
What needs to be done to unbrick it? The support from developer is not existant anf the app is messing up the phone.

Password is whatever you set the pin unlock code to.

No it is not
that is teh beauty of g4rb4g3 = Garbage development.
It is bricking the phone

The dev gave in to the fact about a password bug. And said he provided a fix.. but that is only installable when you have access to the OS.
This app is hellspawn.

What is the link to that fix?

The app's thread.

ANd i fixed it again from the brick
Just go to download mode
flush it with stock
after restart try to go to recovery it will ask you about the password
type anything as many timea as it will tell you that if you will try again it will wipe out your internall sd card
of course try once more it will wipe out your sd card and ask you again for password
type anything again and again and it will warn you again that if you try again it will wipe the internal sd card and after that you will see red info that your pass was changed to NULL
restart
and you are in and all is back to normall

Holy ****. What an epic ****ing failure by that dev.

I can only imagine how successful his app will be, after seeing 2 different threads about WifiUnlocker bricking phones. It's a shame crap apps like that reach the market before being thouroughly tested by whoever develops them.

What a bunch of garbage! Glad i never downloaded that app

I have a x10 and I have to reflash it Coz of that wifiunlocker is asks for password for everything and doesn't uninstall after also unstalling through titanium backup it asks for password.

TL;DR -> keep entering a wrong password all the time. Seems it will wipe your SD after that, but that's your way out I guess.

Boot Password?

Is there such a thing?
If my phone ever gets stolen, I'll just consider it gone. The first thing anyone with half a brain will do is power it off and pull the sim. By having a boot password I'll ensure they can't use my data and have to wipe the phone.

this would be a great thing, like a bios password
I believe that Ice Cream Sandwich and later will let you encrypt your entire device so that you need to enter a password to decrypt it each time you boot.
The password is entered at the lock screen.
I haven't personally tried it because it appears to prevent custom recoveries from accessing data on the phone.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388977 for more information.

If you have a password at the lock screen, files cannot be accessed via USB as it won't mount the /sdcard until after the password has been entered. But if you have a recovery installed then someone could just mount the sdcard from within that.
The thief would have to know what recovery is first. What are the odds of that happening? If you do end up getting your phone stolen by a thief with tech knowledge about Android, then consider it your bad luck and forget about it.
On a side note, use Cerberus. It's a hell of an app and you can remotely wipe data off your phone and SD card via www.cerberusapp.com or using SMS via the Cerberus client app (if your phone's internet is disabled).

Wow! I didn't know about Cerberus. I'm going to have to try this out some time. I especially like the idea of being able to take pictures of the thief.
Sent from my Nexus 10
It's brilliant. And for the very minimal amount that you have to pay for a lifetime license (~$4.5), you get to use up to 5 devices with your account. The best way to install Cerberus if you're rooted is to download the flashable zip from their website and flash it. Or copy the Cerberus apk to /system partition and set permissions. That way, even if the thief factory resets the device, the app will remain in the /system partition and still be active. Unless the thief knows how to go into recovery, wipe system and flash a new ROM (highly unlikely), Cerberus will always be there to work when required. If you install it from Play Store then it goes into the /data partition and gets removed when a factory reset is done.

I think hard reset means rebooting your phone by holding down the power button.. Meh anyway I understand what you meant.
Well just to brainstorm, HTC comes with a default integration with drop box. Meaning all your photo's gets uploaded automatically to dropbox unless you disable it. So, First off check dropbox first, you should atleast have some photos since nobody disables "dropbox" that immediate.
Next time, If you have important stuff on your phone, try to back them up on the pc, and try to use a cloud service like what i said "dropbox" or "google drive" or any other type. Or just upload to facebook
Best of luck and hope you get the photos back

Now that you "factory reset" you should have an empty SD Card, so if you are "interested" in rooting or think you might be , you should unlock the bootloader now before your phone becomes filled with apps again, since the bootloader unlocking will require you to "erase" the data AGAIN.
Just a tip although you might not want to root, unlocking is different from rooting though, so you are not really "rooted" as per say. Anyway best of luck, if you are interested in knowing the difference there is a link in my signature explaining that or you can just google or check the forums, or not Best of luck

no no I think it was a misunderstanding
HTC One X+ does not have SD Card
The purpose of the "recovery", was "Data Recovery" and bring deleted files back! not CWM recovery or other
i am looking for app for recovering my deleted photos since my last factory reset! i have stock rom on my phone now and i dont want to root it
because all "Data recovery" apps want root access

I understand just fine, you misunderstood what i said. What I said was, now that you sadly lost all your data, you might want to take this chance and root since the step of unlocking the "bootloader" itself will make you erase the data again. It was an offtopic out of content advice , just for the future.
As for your issue I already said all what I know, best of luck and maybe someone else knows

ANY WAY TO RECOVER DATA FROM A BROKEN Xperia ACTIVE?

Hi!
A few days ago something happened to my dad's xperia active.
He said that the battery got empty and when he got home, he wanted me to check what's wrong with it since he said it didn't turn on. When I pushed the power button, the screen was all black, BUT the blacklight for the soft buttons started up. So I thought it must be either a dead screen or a dead battery but I wasn't sure, so I pulled the buttery and tried booting it up and it didn't, even the sony logo didn't appear and this time no backlight for the soft buttons either. Anyway, fastboot maybe works, not sure, semc flash mode works, but no adb...
Is there any way to recover data (SMS, contacts, and some pdf-s) from the phones internal memory? Actually, I'm sure there is, but how to recover the data?
Is it possible too boot a custom recovery with fastboot boot recovery.img on an "untouched" phone without root and without unlocked bootloader and do a full backup from there????
Any help is appreciated!
fastboot unlocking will erase your data to prevent data theft .so you cant use fastboot flash recovery.igmg
There are other ways which I can't clarify but they require submitting the device to an professional analyst and will probably cost more money that the device itself ..
You can just pull out the memory card which should have PDF's since /data,/system and /cache cant be user accessed

Haha, that's what I thought but my dad tried to convince me that they must be in the internal memory, like there was no other way which I found highly unlikely aswell.
Anyway, I think I will try to flash the phone to working state and nevermind the data loss.
Thanks!

[Q] Questions about crypting the phone...

Hi, looking for a way to protect the data in casa of loss or steal, i read something about crypting the phone...
Teorically if i do that, and then someone steal my phone, and its locked, he wont be able to read the data because the phone will need a password to startup (or something like that. sorry for my english).
my doubts are, if he connects the phone in the computer via USB... the protection still works, or he can read the data easily?
and this works the same whit the externel sd card if its crypted? if he remove the external Sd card and connect it to the computer, he can read it?
and the last question is, if the phone goes more slow because it has to be crypting and de-crypting data everytime i want to read something?...
Please sorry for my english, i hope you understand something and give me some help about this... thanks
There is a way to ENCRYPT ur fone but it will only ask for password when it is booting. But if u connect it to the computer. I believe he or she can still read the files unless u rly wan tat much security tat u even encrypt ur files. I feel tat encrypting isnt tat much of a use though. It isnt worth the time and effort. Btw the setting for it is at security for stock and most if not all custom roms.
For external sd card, if you encrypt the external sd card. It will require a password even on computer. As the sd card itself is encrypted.
There shldnt be any lags etc when processing it. Even if there is. It wun be tat much.

Ok, thanks... if the data can still be read in the computer i think it isn't worth the time..
Hey,
First flash a aokp or aosp rom so your phone connects with pc via the mtp. If you set a code like a password, pin or something else the device is shown connected with pc, you can click on it but then there is no storage shown. The storage is there if you unlock your phone. So the Internal storage can't be accessed without your code. Then you can setup a code that is required to start your phone. This settings is also provided as standard in android. At least you can download software like WhereIsMyDroid.

Idk abt the method u said but i am pretty sure abt one thing abt WhereIsMyDroid. It can be removed with a wipe. Though yeah. U can set it up such tat if u lose it, u can remotely factory reset the phone which is always gd. With the gps feature well. And the remote factory reset, not sure if this will work. I just have to switch on air plane mode and remove the sim card which is both easily done without access to the phone.

The option on the phone encrypts all data, even if accesible it can't be read without breaking the encryption first (ie you get lots of garbage like info).
The downside, you won't be able to flash stuff through recovery since recovery doesn't have a method to undo the encryption. Also, i don't think encryption is reversible, so think twice before you do it.

No it doesnt encrypt all data. The option in settings encrypt the PHONE such tat whenever u switch it on, u have to type a password. Unless u use an app or file on ur computer to encrypt all the data. Otherwise, it wun encrypt the data.

"Lacking storage booting" function in recovery menu

Hello
On Galaxy S9+ in recovery menu I can find function called "Lacking storage booting". Someone know what this function do ?
Mine too igot confuse what is this for?Lacking Storage Booting
ive been trying to get info for a whilenow including asking sammy multiple times..
what I gather is, if your storage is full to the point you are having device issues or boot looping you enable that option which does something to where you can boot up and save some of your files.. it isnt a permanent fix as it suggests you should do a reset after u get ur files off
Hi,
I have used "Lacking Storage Booting" option for more than 5 times but I didn't found any lag/misbehave after using it (without factory resetting) & performance was the same all the time. This happened with me but if with you it lags then perform a factory reset.
1) However, this is supposed to be used when your mobile is having any booting problem or heavy storage issues.
2) This option is used when you need to get your storage access as Samsung says to backup your documents you want when mobile boots and perform a factory reset.
Even your Galaxy have no booting problem you can use "storage lack booting" without any problem (proved on my S9+).
Samsung claims that resetting should be placed just because for future steps to prevent any possiblity of issues which do not occurs but they have to think forward for the POSSIBILITIES.
One thing more, later on instead resetting the device you can also do instead of resetting and after using "storage lack booting":
* Delete documents from your phone (S9+)
* Go to recovery mode
* Mount/system
* clear cache
I hope this helped.

No Bro, you won't loss anything on your device and even your phone's lock screen won't be affected (By this I mean that your phone would as Like it was).
However, Samsung says "Your Phone might get slow if you use Storage Lack Booting" but only if your storage is full or nearly full. You won't loss any data and this function base is to protect data and not to delete them.
Examples:
1) Your Phone has storage (127/128 GB), and you use "Storage lack booting" so for me the phone was not laggy but if you found your phone laggy restart it thrice and go to RECOVERY MODE and select clear cache.
2) Personally, for me this feature is not beneficial as this feature is for if you can boot into your phone so use it but WAIT I had my S7 with its peak storage full 32/32GB but everyday I restart, power off, dead it but still it is working.
3) Personally, for no reason I have used "Storage lack booting" more than 15 times and I performed speed test from all perspectives and felt the same speed response (all speeding was tested approx and the net-total was all approx and and yeah whenever if your phone is not turning on use this feature and when you will use then it might be laggy but till when its not errupting booting up it won't lag by using it.
* First time , When I used STORAGE LACK BOOTING I was little scared but then I thought did I purchased this phone for being scared.
* At First day, when I purchased this phone, I was scared to test water resistance, but Then I thought did I purchased a NEW phone for being scared. So i just threw it in a pool of 5 meter depth and yeah when I threw it, i belived it won't disturb me and is water resistance.
So bro, everyday learn something, experience it and surley if you are using Samsung orignal version it won't distrub your phone.

THIS IS AWESOME!
actually here is my situation, I'm just really scared to lose my pictures lol so please bear with me.
My phone is actually locked with PIN Code 4 digits, cant remember the code. its been like this 5 days now.
so my question is this: Can I do~
1. Boot to recovery mode.
2. Do the Lacking Storage Booting, so that it will save my data on my SD Card.
3. Perform Factory Reset so that my phone will be unlocked from the PIN Code that I dont remember anymore.
4. Restore the files from the SD card.
Please correct me if these steps are wrong.
Totally Odd Situation For ME!

For me it's an odd situation because I never went through a locked phone because I have my Samsung account signed in my Galaxy and so when I forget the code I simply go to Samsung Find My Mobile Website and unlock my phone from there. So What I know about this situation is:
1) If you signed your SAMSUNG ACCOUNT in your phone so UNLOCK your phone from the SAMSUNG website.
2) Your Data would definitely be lost and so you have to RESET YOUR PHONE through recovery mode:
After resetting you won't be able to get into the PHONE if Google Protection Lock was turned on (By Default it's ON) and to bypass it you can login your GOOGLE ACCOUNT which was logged in your phone. If you did not logged on your GOOGLE EMAIL then reset it but you would loss all of it's data. In this case if you forgot your GOOGLE ACCOUNT so you can easily bypass it FROM MARKET without logging the account.
3) Go to market and ask the person whether it is possible to get your photos/data if possible so it's best. IF not so, sorry for your lost
- Boot Lacking Won't let you enter into your phone without entering the password ( For you case just ignore it's existence for to HELP you)

Thou Fattima, I'm here to add that Samsung revoked this feature from all it's devices which had this. It's quiet not possible to be there. Is that feature still on your phone then your phone is not up to date. Not in my S9+ neither on my s20ultra.

Yes, definitely it's possible. Boot Lacking is used when we are stuck in boot loop (phone restarting continuously and doesn't let you boot in) but when we reset phone from recovery option that is a step which comes before looping so obviously we can reset directly.
How do you perform lacking storage booting? Is it a button combination that you do when the phone is booting? Is it an option in the menu that I'm too stupid to understand? Sorry for the late reply.
i know a device can help you to backup everything in your phone if you are interested. it will help you to storage it in a difference micro SD card or External portable hard drive if you have them.

2) This option is used when you need to get your storage access as Samsung says to backup your documents you want when mobile boots and perform a factory reset.
Even your Galaxy have no booting problem you can use "storage lack booting" without any problem (proved on my S9+).
Samsung claims that resetting should be placed just because for future steps to prevent any possiblity of issues which do not occurs but they have to think forward for the POSSIBILITIES.
One thing more, later on instead resetting the device you can also do instead of resetting and after using "storage lack booting":
* Delete documents from your phone (S9+)
* Go to recovery mode
* Mount/system
* clear cache
I hope this helped.
