i heard that if you plug it into kies, you can somehow download a file that automatically factory resets your phone, probably designed for when this happens. Maybe you could try looking around on there or something? (i cant confirm it as my phones cm)

[Q] Mv systemtuner -> out of /sys into user apps. PLEASE HElp

Hi, please please please help... I guess im an idiot. And i "sort of knew" what i was doing....
I moved system tuner into the user apps out of sys and immediately got errors almost back to back as everything on my phone crashed, i tried desperately to navigate back and undo the process before the phone died but i failed and now im really scared its bricked.
I cant reboot its stuck on logo (no animation)
I cant safe boot (stuck on logo and says "starting rsd protocol.
Please is there any thing i can do, any way to reverse this, i was just gunna go into safemode and move it back. Do i need to flash over a recover? Can i even? Im so scared its bricked
I also have super user installed and i set it to auto allow but after the move this was changed? Default set to no when system tuner app asked to switch and that messed it all up?
Please please please help, sorry if this is bad section im not sure why my acnt is "new" its yrs old and ive even helped some noob programmers on here in the past, yes noobs can help noobs
So even if u have ideas let me know... Im scared
Android 2.3 moto atrix
Edit: yes im rooted, no custom roms. kay ima just sit here the next seventeen hrs waiting while i surf the web, thanks so much to anyone who even reads this! Ive done so much worse learning to "program" for android. I mean i cant believe i didnt brick it in the past, these things seem unbrickable (hope).
Edit2: wow this is gunna be a long one... Zero finds online... Zero :/ i tried taking battery out for a while didnt work... Not sure what that does anyway... Reset some kind of voltage dependent cached info?
Edit3: going to try to put this in a more appropriate section. Sorry i didnt mean to put it here :/ grrrrrr sry
You could boot in recovery and perform what's called a factory reset. That will factory reset your device. It should work as long as you got a recovery of some sort. Not sure if it will affect your root status but since your stock and rooted, you could just reroot.

Omg!!! Fuuuuuuuudnuts! Anything at all not related to recovery
Also any help on that factory reset? I have two copys of backup of cellphone. One on pc one on phone. I have titanium-backup on phone (i had it frozen using system tuner)
But... I have absalutly no idea whatsoever what to do... How do i even get this atrix into recovery? Ill go check but if u no offhand pls tell me. Also if anyone knows the exact problem i am need to know, because something this simple shouldnt require a recovery!!!!! Plus im not even sure that will work (( so if anyone knows wtf happened please tell me
Funny hpw the brain works... I was gunna make backup before doing this... But the extra 10 mins was too long ((((( anyone know a way that involves only flashing? From what i know two types of flashing exist and one lets you edit by bit which means maybe i can just move over a file? Im not sure what im talking about or which technology is used/or mainly used in the android. Anyway i will do a recovery if i have too but im gunna wait few hrs.
I think ii found a way using cwm.. But i dont have that idk why ........Its amazing.... New phone :/
Can somebody please help i tried factory recovery still no success ((
Im guessing its bricked... Which is pretty sad because the technology should let me fix this i want to know exactly what happened... I moved one app out of /sys that i put there ((((
I can enter android recover mode and nvflash and some others that i dont understand.
In android recovery i tried factory reset data and clear cache. Both of which should solve my problem.......
Im baffled it didnt work, should i buy a sd card and load my backup from pc onto it and select it in android recovery as backup? I always thought adb mode was merely flashing reprogramming read only parts of memory... I hence thought i could just use nvflash... I read alot and i still dont know if i can.... I know technology allows it... But.... I found this ?

[Q] ZOPO ZP998 passcode locked

Hi everybody,
First, I want to apologize if I put this thread in a wrong section. I'm a rookie in smartphone world. I did do the search before I posted but I couldn't find the answer.
I have a big problem with my ZOPO. Its a pass-code locked. Did I do it? I really dont know. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. The problem occurred when I came back to my country. I've changed the sim card and since then its asking me for pass-code. I have no idea whats my pass-code is. All I see on my screen is "My Name - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock" message.
Power button+Volume up button instructions, which I found here for a different model of ZOPO didn't work. It just boot to unlock screen. Only 3 physical button are there....Power, volume and camera.
Please can you help me to unlock my phone. If you need any other info, please let me know. I really hope you can help me. You would make old man very happy.
Thank you very much.
@Brale1950, here, try the factory reset method posted here.
Thank you very much for reply.
I was able to access recovery and factory reset. I've tried both but I still get the "Enter Pin" screen.
The phone did factory reset but the pin screen is still there. The only difference is that I don't see my name anymore on the screen.
Please, is there a way to fix this.

The factory reset should have done away with the passcode lock. I'll do some more research to find out what can be done to fix you, but I was SURE that this would fix ya!

Thank you very much for helping me. I'm really stuck and I need my phone back.
As you can see on the picture, that supposed to be the option for factory reset, if I'm right.

I'm not the best when it comes to reflashing the OS. I don't think that'll work, as it might be a variable that is stored on the system partition, but when you reflash using ODIN, it doesn't touch that. Believe me, Samsung thought of everything when it comes to security. You could try to reset your Google account password and try entering the new password on the phone, but I'm not guaranteeing that will work 100%, unfortunately.
Hope this helps,
