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

Hello,
I have a potentially suspicious zenfone 2 (550ML/Z008D), and would like to completely erase it from zero.
As I heard, some "hacks" bypass any data wipe under recovery mode, make it harder to erase.
I heard that TWRP will do the job, is this the case?
My situation is a bit complicated, because i don't know anything about android until now.
Hi would like :
-Save my actual "user" data's (apps, preferences)
-Erase completely the phone, meaning that if there is a hack it will be erased
-Re-install android 6.0
-Re "lock" it, make it harder to "unlock" if any people have access to it (maybe bootloader have to be relocked, if an unlock is necessary for this process).
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot community

The device was the one of my company. It's ok I keep it, but I'll work for the concurrent, so I guess it will be wise to do a real reset of the phone. I just want to get out of troubles. And I need your help.
Go to recovery and factory reset it your phone will be new even if u try TWRP it will do the same only thing is u can select what partition u want to wipe in TWRP....And I don't get what spy's hack bypass u are talking about....Once your device is factory reset nothing can be recovered...

Dont do a factory reset in settings if you now have TWRP
Only factory reset in settings if you have stock ASUS recovery .
What are these `troubles you speak about` ???

i don't have twrp. simple. i want to erase the memory for truth, i know a lot of spying apps can stay even with factry reset (recovery mode and wipe data).
i did not installed twrp yet. but someone on reddit told me it will allow me to erase the memory better than with recovery mode.
troubles it's, if my company "spied" me and continue to do while i work at the concurrent, they can access to private informations. that would be really bad.

Your company cannot put anything on your phone what will survive a factory reset
Unless , they are hackers colluding with ASUS
Do a factory reset , when setting up again after bypass internet set up...click on app drawer and disable all and even uninstall the junk before going online.
What date of build is it , what build is it in settings ?

i updated to android 6 with adb.
but you are wrong, there's ton of guide on the web to how to set up a spy in an android phone that will not be bypassed by data wipe on recovery mode.
somehow there's some space to put anything you want.
i'm just looking to erase that

Personally , I think you are being rather paranoid
Although , the Google chrome app that comes installed give me a bit of grief in the past ..so disabled that...in stock...
You can dump stock , go with the new lineageOS ...trouble is , unless your company are hackers ...or you are being monitored, nothing can stop them from doing so

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
Hi All,
I have T-Mobile version of S20, which was unlocked long time ago. I recently switched to Verizon and the phone working perfectly fine. This morning I received security update for May 2021 from T-mobile and after that phone is not able to connect to network. Verizon technician tried troubleshooting, but they asked me to do a factory reset.
Does anyone know how to connect back to network with factory reset?
Thanks in advance.
Wow, it's really secure now
So the old factory reset solves everything bs solution... I tend to curse techs out if they mutter those words.
Before you go Dr Strangelove full nuke nuts:
Try clearing the system cache
Try a network reset
Try clearing the data in the sim card toolkit
Then try a hard reboot (simulates pulling battery).

Thanks for reply, but so far I have already tried clearing system cache, network reset, setting reset and hard reboot (can't do battery pull in new Samsung Lol). I am thinking of flashing t-mobile or verizon firmware using odin.

That sucks. I haven't updated my Note 10+ in over a year, deliberately. Zero issues.
The reflash sounds like a plan.
Since you're doing that anyway see what the factory reset does. Unless it's an old load I try to avoid doing that and find the root cause to prevent it from happening again.
In this case though you know the root cause...

Did the factory reset, but it didn't work. Trying to get correct firmware to flash using odin.
I flashed Verizon version of firmware downloaded from Sammobile.com using Moded Odin provided in this thread that fixed the phone. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-links-and-flashing-discussion-here.4054757/
Data was lost because of factory reset I did already.
Report the issue to Samsung Members app, I've seen other people who switched carriers while keeping their devices face the same sort of problem. If Samsung does come up with some sort of solution or maybe the carrier comes up with a solution, you can be kept up to date with it.

I had the same problem. Did a reset and nothing. I haven't flashed any firmware in a while. I have another phone that I can use for a while and maybe I can wait until there is a solution or another update. My s20 is also from tmobile unlocked.

Any direct link to the Verizon firmware or the name of the file that you downloaded? There are many files for different processors. I have the T-mobile S20 bought in T-mobile and was unlocked via T-mobile after I payed for it.
UGGG!! Same problem here. T-mobile seems to have had something in the update that has carrier locked the phone again. After a complete data reset the phone doest ask for a Verizon pin when I insert the sim card though.
Please help!!
