I have a ZTE nubia Red Magic 7 on Android 13. I accidentally had to erase all checked in QFIL when trying to bring it back from soft bricked. That's irrelevant now though as erase all did just that.
- 0 partitions.
- 0 GPT headers.
I have backups from before in QFIL. However, this is not working either as they are all snippets for QFIL to use. I have a full partition list from before
d
and a few readings from the partition manager as well, user and system I believe, maybe different, can't read it to tell.
no help on XDA or the manufacturer or Qualcomm or online communities.
How can I bring this phone back from death?

How to get USB debugging on ZTE Z233VL?
I've been trying to get USB debugging on the ZTE Z233VL, to possibly install apps.

I've been trying to get USB debugging on the ZTE Z233VL, to possibly install apps. The issue is that I've been trying to look up "Where does Android keep the configuration on if USB debugging is enabled", and all it tells me is how to enable USB debugging on every Android device but this one.
Most of the Android test codes don't work, no debugging features work, and the APK package installer app (the GUI for the installer, not the "pm" tool) isn't bundled. It shows the icon for the app, but it doesn't have a program to run it, it says. Also, it has no WiFi.

I have a smartphone brand **Motorola C Plus, Android 7.0.**,
My problem is that it crashes and after I do a hard reset in the Chinese Wipe MMC menu, instead of the standard 32 applications, I get 57 ?*!
After testing in the English menu I saw that there are log files that the system does not remove? Does the problem come from a launcher update or another program, or is there hacker intervention? After turning off the internet card, Bluetooth and wifi, the ordinary hacker could hardly enter? How to do system cleaning manually with USB cable commands from a personal computer when connected to it?
I activated ADB commands, but I could not see where I install the new 25 applications for music, video and others to destroy their installation archives.

How to fix "Selected playlist is empty" in Android 4.1.2?
I have an old phone that I use as a dedicated MP3 player after my actual MP3 player died. It's a ZTE phone running Android 4.1.2 with an SD card that has all my music on it.

I have an old phone that I use as a dedicated MP3 player after my actual MP3 player died. It's a ZTE phone running Android 4.1.2 with an SD card that has all my music on it. I use the default music player on the phone. I've been having an odd problem recently where adding new music to the device causes the music player to be partially unable to play music. I'll move a song over and then when I start the music player and it loads to my song list clicking any of the listed songs merely gives me the message "selected playlist is empty". I can still play any of the songs if I switch over to any of the other tabs (organization methods?) like "Artist" or "Album" but not from the "Songs" tab. If I go back and remove the song that I moved over I can play music from the Songs tab again like normal.
This is getting very annoying because I can't put more music on the device I listen to music on. How do I fix it, without installing any new apps?

Phone can't access internal storage
I have a problem with my relative's phone. He has a ZTE Blade A452 phone with Android, and it seemingly can't access its internal storage at all.

I have a problem with my relative's phone. He has a ZTE Blade A452 phone with Android, and it seemingly can't access its internal storage at all.
There is constantly an error message "Your internal memory is full", and "Email service has been stopped" because of lack of storage (even though he doesn't use it at all), no new text messages could reach his phone (I switched the text message storage to SD card). When I go to Storage option in Settings, under selecting the default location there is only SD card option, and when I scroll down to phone storage to see how much is used, it says "Calculating..." and never shows the storage. It also shows some weird number in space available. After I removed the SD card, it shows there is around 4 GB of system storage, and 4 GB of user storage, yet none of it is available. Also, when I go to the file manager, I can only see the SD card and no internal storage. I can't even transfer photos from internal to SD card, because I don't see them in the manager.
Here are photos:
Is the phone completely screwed up or can I do something about this?

Recover from Encryption unsuccessfull on zte blade apex2

I have an old Zte Blade Apex 2 with stock rom TIM-IT and stock recovery that can't start because of Encryption unsuccessfull error.
It can boot in recovery with
power + volume+
so as a first step I tried to wipe data and cache
but the issue persists.
The original rom is not available anywhere online, but some other provider's ROMs are available (movistar or Micro P UK), I tried to use one of those updates but the updater script will fail because of an assert on getprop("ro.build.product")
which differs only by the network operator name.
Clearly changing the updater script inside the zip causes "failed to verify whole-file signature
" error.
For this device there is a TWRP recovery available but currently it's not installed.
I can run adb sideload
(in recovery mode) and adb shell
without root (from FTM mode, power + volume-), but trying adb restart bootloader
will start the device normally with the encryption error. By booting power with volume+ and volume- together (that should be fastboot mode) the red led is on and the device won't be recognized by Windows 10 (USB device not recognized) while on ubuntu with lsusb
I can see the usb device id (which is different from the one in FTM mode allowing adb commands) but the command fastboot devices
won't show any device and also trying to manually provide the device id won't work.
Any suggestion to recover this phone?
UPDATE: I started the phone with power+both volume keys, lsusb
gives ID 19D2:0112 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM QHUSB__BULK
. while ./edl.py r recovery r.img
keeps printing dots "Waiting for the device". In FTM mode ID 19D2:0500 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM Android
I could run abd reboot edl
but edl.py
will return Library.sahara - couldn't find a loader for given hwid and pkhash :(
Now lsusb gives 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)
On windows it is recognized by MiFlash so it should be correctly in EDL mode, but how can I flash the TWRP recovery now?

Google account was hacked: how do I get my phone working with my new account?
My Google account was hacked, I think because somebody SIM-hacked my T-Mobile account. (Thus the Google account recovery process was short-circuited.)

My Google account was hacked, I think because somebody SIM-hacked my T-Mobile account. (Thus the Google account recovery process was short-circuited.) I've asked Google for help via the recovery process but I'm not at all hopeful. In the meantime (as the recovery process suggests!!!) I've got a new Google account.
Now I'd like to get my Android phone (ZTE Axon 7) working with the new account, but even after a factory reset it *still* wants to access the Google account it thinks is associated with the phone. In other words, from the "Let's get started" screen, it won't take my new account login, instead insisting that I provide the password to the former account.
Can anything be done to deal with this problem?

After installing a 32 GB SD card, having trouble installing apps. Because the OS is 5.x and not upgradable then adoptable storage isn't an option.
How can I install apps when the system reports insufficient free space? Every app I've downloaded has been moved to SD card, yet, the prompt is to uninstall these apps. To reiterate, every app which I'm being prompted to uninstall has already been moved to external storage.
Seems a conundrum.
---------------------------
After resetting to factory default I then installed Disk Analysis for defrag on the system storage.

I don't see the icon in the top corner. How do I get it to work?
