I bought a used Galaxy A22(SM-A225F) few days ago which was already functioning so I only entered my google ID. now I just realized:
1. I can't factory reset, either from the settings or Hard reset
2. Phone can't stay in download mode when conneted to a laptop
3. I can't operate the Biometrics (face recognition and finger print)
4 I can't update the software (feedback: your device operating system is modified in an unauthorized way)
What can i do to factory reset the device in this situation? Please I need help.
Please provide more information. What happens when you attempt to do what you've described? What is preventing you from performing a factory reset?
1. The factory reset is disabled in the settings and Wipe data/ Factory reset Not available in Hard reset so, I am unable to do it all
2. I am unable use Odin either because the phone can't stay in download mode when I connect it to the laptop. It automatically turns on.
3. For the biometrics (Face regognition and Finger print) when I select them they don't open.
4. the software update also doesn't happen due to this (feedback: your device operating system is modified in an unauthorized way)

Hi all,
I have problem with my Mi6.
This phone I bought from someone else. I can get to the main screen, do everything basic, everything looks good.
However, when I enter the security settings to set a screen password, the device asks for the device's PIN. I did not set my password before so I do not know the pin. I tried the wipe data in recovery and flash the other rom but was still asked to re-enter the pin.
What should I do next?

It's maybe your google account's password (if you selected to use that as the encryption password in setup wizard - google).
But, if you haven't formatted data when or since you've bought that phone from that someone else, only that person would tell you what the password is.
Format data and set your own password on that regard.

I asked the old owner of the phone about this pin but they are not correct. I will try format data on TWRP and reflash rom.
Thank for your reply

Hi everyone,
I'v got a S20+ 5G but the old's owner can't give me his google account so my phone is locked.
I tried to fix it by flashing the ROM but when odin told me success, the phone was still locked by this google account.
I would like to try an other firmware but the bootload has changed and now i can't try again the method with odin.
Check the picture of the new bootloader.
What can i do ?
Thanks for your help !
Mike

can you enter download mode ? The way you enter download mode has changed so you need to power off this phone then press and hold both + and - volume buttons and then while holding these 2 keys connect usb C cable to your phone and hold till you will see blue screen. Oh and make sure that your cable is connected to usb on your PC first, then connect it to phone
Ho my god ! Your method give me access to download mode ! Thank you for that
Furthermore, do you think that the google account will disapear ?
nope, flashing different firmwares will not remove lock that would be too easy
So, is there any way to bypass the google account ?
it depends which firmware have you flashed, each month there is a security update and old methods are patched and it is getting harder and harder i think the fastest and easiest way is to ask previous owner for password or return the phone, once I bought s10 and it was locked same as your's but there was possibility to enter previous owner lock screen passcode to unlock google lock and he gave me this code and it worked, check if you can enter previous owner passcode instead of his email and password

it's not the MTK client's problem
I accidentally destroyed all of my partitions
is there any way to recreate all partitions again?
also, I'm so dumb that I tried to do it with the SP flash tool (didn't work) and now I can't even get to this page
now the phone is completely dead and the screen is not turning on.
the only hope is that the phone can be detected by the sp flash tool and mtk_gui (after formating with the sp flash tool)
I'm not doing anything anymore without any advice.
there is no partitions here
The phone turns into a brick after using the MTK client client (GUI) function, please help!
When I click on all the erase options, the client only recognizes them but cannot save me back to the phone. The volume and power buttons are not responding. Please help me!

just like me several days ago, In fact I just brick my device again since flash custom rom for UI2.0(jsut wrong), so now I will trace back that thread and replay again, I think it is okay and both of we can revive it as normal, first thing I am going to is reset win10 again since I suppose some security setting just crash SP flash tool make it did not response anything after I use it( despite bypass is going okay).

Hi all, I have rooted my pixel 6 pro since day 1 and always used the magisk way of patching and restoring images for updates, since the February update Google tells me updates are no longer supported on my device per screenshots, anyone else had this issue and know how to resolve it?

You might want to backup, uninstall magisk in the app, reboot. Then full reset/wipe and reboot. Then manually update to the latest May 2022 version using adb or the android flash tool. Something has gone awry with your software. Better to be safe than sorry.
Just used the android flash tool and flash the latest image without the wipes, then reroot, should fix it all.

But with my device rooted and my bootloader unlocked won't that throw me into a boot loop? Then I'll have to completely wipe and restore no?

Nope! Quite the opposite if I get stuck in a bootloop I just use the flash tool to fix it. No loss of data, but you need to re-boot the magisk boot image then reflash in magisk afterwards as it will completely remove magisk
So I did what you suggested and now my device is stuck in a boot loop with corrupt data, I did however patch the boot.img previously when I tried to send it to the device via ADB so I'm going to try to push that now and see what happens. Here are the options I selected for Android Flash Tool.
Second attempt with not selecting 'Disable Verity' and 'Disable Verification' worked successfully.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Keep phone connected (dont change USB port). Open bypass again. Hold Power+ Vol up until it show Protection disable. Then press Download on SP flash tool. Redo 2-3 times.

Yes, I already managed to fix it and installed the firmware. But never got around to installing TWRP. After I install TWRP on the phone, I start a cycle of reboots and nothing else, and so I've reflashed and tried differently every time, but still can't get TWRP installed. Maybe you know how to solve this problem?

Type this on Google: brp 3.5.2 v2.7 pling
And download exactly that version.
This TWRP is for Miui 12.0.x and custom rom based on that.
