I recently bought a new Nokia 2, Android 7 Nougat smartphone, and ever since I have started using it, I keep getting weird notifications from 'CP Client' saying 'New provisioning message'. When I tap it, nothing happens and I can't do anything about it. I slide it to the right to get it out of my notifications, but it just comes back after a few minutes, and I keep getting these messages every now and then, usually 4 at a time. This is really annoying and I'm worried if this might be a virus. What should I do to get rid of this problem?

Having looked around hither and thither now for a night as to how to factory reset a Nokia 2.2, I am still a bit confused and unable to do it. Holding **volume-down + power on** brings me to a boot screen saying *"=> FASTBOOT mode"*, but no buttons are having effect after that. Apparently the next step is to connect it via usb cable to a Windows computer with some specific tool or another installed on it? I've seen people in youtube videos apparently using a Windows tool called **'InfinityBox AST '** , and I have tried running that in a Windows VM, but for some (in my opinion) suspect reason, 'InfinityBox' decides to detect that's it's being ran under VirtualBox, and instantly refusing to launch with a message specifically stating that it wont run on a Virtual Machine. *(This 'vm detector' behavior is enough of a reason to me being quite reluctant and suspicious to even having attempted to run the utility trough Wine/Proton)* - **Is there really no way to factory reset a Nokia 2.2 TA-1188 cellphone *without* requiring an actual physical (Windows) PC in addition to some shady unofficial utility made by neither Google nor Nokia?** - If not possible without a PC, is there some Linux software solution able to perform the task?

I have a **SanDisk Ultra 16 GB SD Card** and formatted it as internal storage in my **Nokia 2.1** (Android 9 - Not rooted). I can't use or format the sd card on my phone. - When I choose to format it as internal storage, I get the following toast:

to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.os.storage.VolumeInfo.getId()' on a null object reference.

- When I choose the other option - formatting as removable media - the format process finished but nothing happens and my SD card is still unknown to my phone. So I decided to format it with my computer. This is what gparted shows: When I delete these two partitions, the operation completes, but I still have those partitons! When I try to delete those partitions and create a new FAT32 partition using GParted, I get the following error:

Primary Partition #1 (fat32, 14.84 GiB) on /dev/sdb  00:00:06    ( ERROR )
     	
create empty partition  00:00:04    ( SUCCESS )
     	
path: /dev/sdb3 (partition)
start: 2048
end: 31115263
size: 31113216 (14.84 GiB)
libparted messages    ( INFO )
     	
Can't have overlapping partitions.
Partition(s) 3 on /dev/sdb have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.

So I tried writing zero to the entire disc, using dd:

[dsm@dsm-pc ~]$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb status=progress
[sudo] password for dsm: 
15928488448 bytes (16 GB, 15 GiB) copied, 3894 s, 4.1 MB/s 
dd: writing to '/dev/sdb': No space left on device
31116289+0 records in
31116288+0 records out
15931539456 bytes (16 GB, 15 GiB) copied, 3922.32 s, 4.1 MB/s

Nothing happened after that, I still have those partitions! I don't need my data, is there a way to format this SD Card? I checked many similar questions here and in other websites, but none of them helped.
