How to remove the Ministry of Internal Affairs banner from the Huawei phone. How can I unlock my tablet if I forgot my PIN code and didn’t write it down anywhere? Unblocking with Google Account

A graphic key is a very reliable protection of data on a tablet computer, but sometimes the owner of the gadget himself becomes its hostage. For example, if he forgets his key. Also, it is not uncommon for a device to fall into the hands of a child who, by random actions, creates a picture password, saves and, naturally, does not remember it. And it becomes impossible to enter the system.

To everyone's joy, this situation is not fatal. In most cases, the tablet can be unlocked by resetting the pattern to zero. It happens that you have to sacrifice the information stored in the device's memory, but more often it is possible to get by with "less blood". Let's take a look at six ways to unlock an Android tablet if you can't remember your picture password.

Via SMS

This option is one of the quick and easy ones, but it will only help those who foresaw a situation with an accidental blocking of the gadget and installed the SMS Bypass application on it in advance, and also received superuser (root) rights. Naturally, the device must be equipped with a SIM card reader.

So how to unlock your Android tablet using SMS Bypass if you forgot your pattern?

  • Install the app from Google Play. It's not free, but it only costs $ 1.99. To install, you need access to the global network and a Google account.
  • Give the app full access to the device.
  • Set in SMS Bypass the secret code to reset the pattern (its default value is 1234). To prevent outsiders from doing this, it is advisable to come up with a more complex code.
  • When blocking, send an SMS with the text “secret_code reset” from another phone to the SIM card number of your tablet. For example, “1234 reset”. The pattern will be reset.

Through a phone call

Note! This option has one major limitation - it works only on Android 2.2 or lower. And such gadgets are quite rare today.

How to unlock your tablet with a call if you forgot your pattern?

  • Make a call to the locked device from another phone.
  • After receiving a call on Android 2.2 it becomes possible to enter the application "Settings" -\u003e "Security" -\u003e "Screen lock" and change the pattern.

Another option is to call from the locked tablet itself. After dialing the number and pressing the call button, the desktop opens literally for a moment. If at this time you have time to click on the application icon (any), it will be possible to enter the “Settings” and reset the key.

Using a Google account

After five unsuccessful login attempts, the "Forgot your pattern?" Button appears on the tablet screen.

Click on it, log into your Google account and go through the procedure for restoring access.

If your device does not have Internet access, you can use one of the methods to get it:

  • Press the "Emergency Call" button, dial the number *#*#7378423#*#* , on the menu Service tests ”select“ WLAN ”and connect to a wireless Wi-Fi network.
  • Install a SIM card into the tablet with a sufficient amount of money in the account and an activated option for connecting to the Internet.
  • Connect the network cable of the provider to the tablet via the USB-LAN adapter.

Through the Recovery menu

Recovery Mode

Recovery is a special recovery mode, from which the system settings are reset to the state as after purchase, the device is flashed, superuser rights are obtained, data is restored from a backup, etc.

Note! To get into it, you need to turn off the tablet and, when you turn it on again, press the volume up or down rocker together with the Power button (each manufacturer has its own combination of buttons).

You can also do this using the ADB Run program, which is installed on a Windows or Linux computer. To enter the Recovery menu, the tablet must be connected via a USB cable to the PC, having previously enabled USB debugging in the “Options” -\u003e “Developer options” menu.

After that start ADB Run, select “Reboot” from the menu and then “Reboot Recovery”.

Recovery mode is available on the vast majority of gadgets running on Android, but not all. If you don't have it on yours, install it separately - with it you will have another way to unlock the tablet if you forgot both the pattern and your Google account. To install, you can use ADB Run in FastBoot mode or the Odin flashing utility (for Samsung gadgets).

Unblocking

To unlock the device, you need to delete the file /data/system/gesture.key... But there is no file manager in the Recovery menu. For it to appear there, you must install it in advance. For example, the Aroma File Manager program is perfect, which opens access to system files directly from Recovery.

If USB debugging is enabled on the tablet, you can also use ADB Run to remove gesture.key by selecting Manual and running the command adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key.

Another way to remove this file is to install a special update that only works if there is a Recovery partition. This update resets the pattern to zero.

Through data reset

Data reset is one of the last resort measures when no other methods have helped. It is not recommended to start with it for the reason that after that you will lose saved SMS, phone book, installed applications and some other data not saved in your Google account. Pictures and melodies will remain in place.

To reset data, you will also need to enter the Recovery menu and select the option wipe data | factory reset... Let's figure out how this is done on devices of some brands.

Samsung

  • On tablets: Turn off the device and press the volume rocker and the Power button before turning it on.
  • On newer smartphones: turn off the device and press the Power, Home and volume rocker buttons before turning it back on.
  • On older smartphones: turn off the device and press the Power and Home buttons before restarting.

Htc

  • When turned on, press and hold the Power buttons and the volume down rocker.
  • The wipe data | factory reset option on some HTS models is called clear storage.

Huawei

  • Turn off the device, remove the battery (if removable) and insert immediately.
  • When turned on, press and hold Power and the volume up rocker.

On some models of Huawei smartphones in recent years of release, data reset is performed by unlocking the bootloader using the HiSuite and ADB Run utilities. The smartphone will then be as clean as after purchase.

Prestigio

How to unlock Prestigio tablet and smartphone if you forgot your pattern?

  • Turn off the device. When turned on, press and hold the Power, Home (if available) and volume rocker buttons.
  • After following the instructions wipe data | factory reset in the Recovery menu, select delete all user data and then - reboot system now.

By flashing method

Flashing a device is the most difficult and risky method. It remains to resort to it if you have forgotten the pattern, you do not have the Internet and you do not know how to unlock the tablet in other ways. It is assumed that you know how to flash Android devices and you already have a suitable firmware with all the necessary tools.

The official source of original firmware is the website of your device manufacturer. All other sources can aggravate the problem by turning the gadget into a “brick”.

The following software is used for flashing certain models of mobile Android devices:

  • For Samsung, the Odin utility we have already mentioned.
  • For LG - KDZ Updater.
  • For Sony - Flsahtool.
  • For devices of different brands - FastBoot from the Android SDK.
  • For devices on chips MediaTek (which are mainly used on Chinese gadgets) - SP Flash Tool.

There is no universal instruction to install the firmware - you must first find it on the developer's website of the flasher utility and study it in detail. If everything goes without incident, you will get a pristine tablet with a brand new Android OS. There will be no trace of the pattern on it.

Why did your mobile phone suddenly start behaving differently, or even “live” with its “life”? Perhaps because a malicious program has settled in it. Today the number of viruses and Trojans for Android is growing exponentially. Why? Yes, because the cunning guys-virus writers know that smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used by our fellow citizens as electronic wallets, and they are doing everything to move funds from the accounts of the owners into their pockets. Let's talk about how to understand that a mobile device has caught an infection, how to remove a virus from Android and protect yourself from re-infections.

Symptoms of a virus infection of an Android device

  • The gadget turns on for longer than usual, slows down or suddenly reboots.
  • The history of SMS and phone calls contains outgoing messages and calls that you did not make.
  • Money is debited from your phone account by itself.
  • Ads that are not associated with any application or site are displayed on your desktop or browser.
  • Programs are installed by themselves, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or a camera are turned on.
  • Access to e-wallets, mobile banking has disappeared or, for unknown reasons, the amount on the accounts has decreased.
  • Someone has taken over your social media or messenger account (if used on a mobile device).
  • The gadget is locked, and a message is displayed on the screen that you violated something and must pay a fine or simply transfer money to someone to unlock it.
  • Suddenly, applications stopped starting, access to folders and files was lost, some device functions were blocked (for example, buttons were not pressed).
  • When launching programs, messages pop up like "an error occurred in the com.android.systemUI application".
  • Unknown icons appeared in the list of applications, and unknown processes in the task manager.
  • The antivirus program informs you about the detection of malicious objects.
  • The antivirus program uninstalled itself from the device or does not start.
  • Your phone or tablet battery is running out faster than ever.

Not all of these symptoms are 100% indicative of a virus, but each is a reason to immediately scan your device for infection.

The easiest way to remove mobile virus

If the gadget is still working, the easiest way is to remove the virus using the antivirus installed on Android. Run a full scan of the phone's flash memory, if a malicious object is detected, select the "Delete" option, saving the neutralized copy in quarantine (in case the antivirus detects itself and mistook something safe for a virus).

Unfortunately, this method helps in about 30-40% of cases, since most malicious objects actively resist being removed. But the rule exists on them. Next, we'll look at options for action when:

  • antivirus does not start, does not detect or remove the source of the problem;
  • the malware is restored after removal;
  • the device (or its individual functions) are locked.

Remove malware in safe mode

If you can't clean your phone or tablet normally, try Safely. Most malicious programs (not only mobile ones) show no activity in the safe mode and do not interfere with their destruction.

To boot the device in safe mode, press the on / off button, place your finger on “Power off” and hold it until the message “Entering safe mode” appears. Then click OK.

If you have an old version of Android - 4.0 and lower, turn off the gadget in the usual way and turn it on again. When the Android logo appears on the screen, press the volume up and down keys at the same time. Hold them until the device boots up completely.

While in safe mode, scan your device with antivirus. If there is no antivirus or it does not start for some reason, install (or reinstall) it from Google Play.

In this way, advertising viruses such as Android.Gmobi 1 and Android.Gmobi.3 (according to Dr. Web classification), which download various programs to the phone (in order to increase the rating), and also display banners and ads on the desktop, are successfully removed.

If you have superuser (root) rights and you know exactly what exactly caused the problem, start a file manager (for example, Root explorer), follow the path where this file is located and delete it. Most often, mobile viruses and Trojans place their bodies (executable files with the .apk extension) in the system / app directory.

To return to normal mode, simply reboot the device.

Removing mobile viruses via computer

Removing viruses on the phone through a computer helps out when the mobile antivirus cannot cope with its task even in safe mode or the device's functions are partially blocked.

Removing a virus from a tablet and phone using a computer is also possible in two ways:

  • using an antivirus installed on the PC;
  • manually through a file manager for Android gadgets, for example, Android Commander.

We use antivirus on the computer

To check the files of the mobile device with the antivirus installed on the computer, connect the phone or tablet to the PC with a USB cable, selecting the "Like USB storage" method.

Next turn on USB.

After that, 2 additional "disks" will appear in the "Computer" folder on the PC - the internal memory of the phone and the SD card. To start scanning, open the context menu of each disk and click "Check for viruses".

Removing malware via Android Commander

Android Commander is a program for exchanging files between a mobile android gadget and a PC. Running on a computer, it provides the owner with access to the memory of the tablet or phone, allows you to copy, move and delete any data.

For full access to all the contents of an android gadget, you must first get root-rights and enable USB debugging. The latter is activated through the service application "Options" - "System" - "Developer options".

Next, connect the gadget to your PC as a USB drive and run Android Commander with administrator rights. In it, unlike Windows Explorer, protected system files and directories of the Android OS are displayed - just like, for example, in Root Explorer, a file manager for root users.

The right half of the Android Commander window shows the directories of the mobile device. Find the executable file of the application (with the .apk extension) in them, which is causing the problem, and delete it. Alternatively, copy suspicious folders from your phone to your computer and scan each of them with an antivirus.

What to do if the virus is not removed

If the above operations did not lead to anything, the malware still makes itself felt, and if the operating system after cleaning has ceased to function normally, you will have to resort to one of the radical measures:

  • reset with restoring factory settings via the system menu;
  • hard reset via the Recovery menu;
  • flashing the device.

Any of these methods will bring the device to the state as after purchase - it will not have any user programs, personal settings, files and other information (data about SMS, calls, etc.). Your Google account will also be deleted. Therefore, if possible, transfer the phone book to the SIM card and copy paid applications and other valuable items to external media. It is advisable to do it manually - without using special programs, so as not to accidentally copy the virus. Then proceed with the "treatment".

Restoring factory settings through the system menu

This option is the easiest. It can be used when the functions of the operating system and the device itself are not locked.

Go to the "Settings" application, open the "Personal" - "Backup" section and select "Factory data reset".

Hard reset via the Recovery menu

A "hard" reset will help you deal with malware if it cannot be removed by any of the above methods or if it has blocked the login. To our delight, access to the Recovery menu is still available.

Login to Recovery on different phones and tablets is done differently. On some for this you need to hold down the "Volume +" key when turning on, on others - "Volume -", on the third - press a special recessed button, etc. The exact information is contained in the instructions for the device.

In the Recovery menu, select the option "wipe data / factory reset" or simply "factory reset".

Flashing

Flashing is essentially a reinstallation of the Android OS, the same last resort as reinstalling Windows on a computer. It is used in exceptional cases, for example, when a certain Chinese virus is embedded directly into the firmware and lives on the device from the moment of its "birth". One such malware is the android spy 128 origin spyware.

To flash a phone or tablet, you will need root rights, a distribution kit (the firmware itself), an installation program, a computer with a USB cable or an SD card. Remember that for each gadget model its own, individual firmware versions are released. Installation instructions are usually found with them.

How to avoid virus infection of Android devices

  • Install mobile apps only from trusted sources, abandon hacked programs.
  • Update your device as system updates are released - in them, developers fix vulnerabilities that are used by viruses and Trojans.
  • Install a mobile antivirus and keep it always on.
  • If the gadget serves as your wallet, do not allow other people to access the Internet or open unverified files on it.

The internet is full of scammers. You never know where you will face the next deception. And this applies not only to personal computers. Recently, viral software has moved to mobile platforms.

The most common example of such malware is the so-called ransomware banner. It is a small program that adds itself to autorun and blocks the device under a dubious pretext, requiring you to send a paid SMS to a short number. Of course, this is not worth doing, because you are only wasting your money. The blocking won't go away, and the scammers behind it will get what they want.

Why you should NOT send SMS

Few have the sad experience of meeting money-extorting programs, and therefore do not know how to properly deal with them. Every second and every third believes the pretext that the program slips and decides to send an SMS, hoping to get rid of the ransomware banner.

At this moment, a person signs a death sentence on his SIM card - almost all short numbers work on the principle of pseudo-subscriptions. This means that the case will not end with a one-time write-off of funds. The money will be withdrawn over and over again depending on the frequency of rebills - perhaps every month, or perhaps every week or day. Of course, there is an opportunity to unsubscribe and stop losing money, but only a small percentage of victims can cope with it.

Therefore, having picked up the ransomware banner on your device, under no circumstances send messages to the proposed number - this will only harm yourself. But how is the problem solved then?

How to remove banner ransomware on Android

The task is solved by the banal removal of the malicious program from the system. To do this, you need to activate safe mode on the device and go to "Settings". In the proposed menu, select "Applications" and go to "Downloaded / running / all", and then remove suspicious programs that were installed last.

Simple, right? Now let's look at how to activate Safe Mode on a locked device.

We enter the "Safe Mode"

For Android, version of which is lower than 4.0 and starting from version 4.1, the algorithm for enabling "Safe Mode" is different.

Before version 4.0, when turning on the device, as soon as the logo appears, you must hold down both volume control buttons at the same time. Hold them while your device starts up.

If your Android version is higher than 4.1, then the activation of the safe mode is carried out using the power button of the device. Click it. You will be offered a window with the option to turn off the sound / power or switch to airplane mode. Select Power Off and hold. A window should appear prompting you to enable Safe Mode.

Disable "Safe Mode"

If you did everything correctly, then it was not difficult for you to get rid of the ransomware banner. Now it's time to return the device to normal mode. To do this, use one of the options.

Option one

  • Reboot the tablet using the power button;
  • Click "Power off";
  • Confirm the operation by clicking "OK";
  • Turn on your tablet.

If after the steps taken the device still works in safe mode, try the second method.

Option two

  • Open "Applications" and go to settings;
  • Remove the last program that was installed on the device;
  • Please reboot.

After completing all these steps, your tablet will return to normal. But do not forget this sad experience and continue to download applications only from authoritative resources.

Comments

A few years ago, viruses were the only scourge of computer technology. However, the craftsmen of computer technology quickly realized and adjusted to the situation. Therefore, now the questions are becoming more and more urgent: how to remove a banner from a phone and how to remove a banner from a tablet.

What is a banner and what is it with?

You most likely came across them if you went somewhere beyond Youtube and social networks on the Internet. Even from the same native VKontakte, you can easily pick up a banner, you just need to follow one of the links sent by the bots. They offer you free currency in your favorite online entertainment, creepy winnings, lottery prizes and more.

But any sane person will understand that all this is a lie. He did not participate in any lotteries, and my mother, since childhood, spoke with strangers not to talk. But if you did see the “cherished” message in full screen, preventing you from freely using your mobile device and offering to pay off, you can safely read this article, in which we will tell you how to remove a banner from your phone.

Clear browser cache

Of course, there are a great many viruses, but most of them are carbon-copy. Therefore, this method will be useful in many cases.

So how to remove banner from android? Open the menu of the mobile device and go to "Settings". Then go to "Applications" and from there - to "Application Management". Next, we need to stop the already running browser. To do this, we open the "Running Applications" window.

After that, we click on the graph with our browser, force it to stop forcibly, and in the same place, below, there is a button "Clear cache". This is exactly what we need. After restarting your browser, your problems may be over.

Downloading antivirus

If this simple method doesn't work, you may not be able to do it without additional help. Fortunately, antiviruses are well aware of how to remove a banner from an android, there are a great many mobile versions of them on mobile platforms.

For example, in this screenshot, as you can see, Dr.Web is installed on the phone, which will not only help you get rid of those viruses that you already have, but will also stand on your defense in the future. You can download them through PlayMarket.

I would like to additionally say that although some antiviruses are expensive, but, unlike their computer counterparts, they do the lion's share of the work for free. Therefore, it is advisable to have one of these on your device.

Many people ask me - what to do if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a banner on the tablet and does not allow it to be used? Let me remind you that last year I wrote an article on how to unlock your computer from a malicious banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which talked about your allegedly illegal actions on the Internet and that you have to pay for visiting resources with porn and pedophilia a fine of several hundred rubles (the form is attached). The article was titled and it told one of the ways to get out of this, sometimes delicate, situation.

But I did not talk about the tablet. This time I decided to fill this gap and tell you how to remove a banner from a tablet or any other Android device. This malicious program starts immediately after turning on the tablet and does not react to any of your movements, expecting you to run and pay a "fine". Eh no! We will not pay any fine, because the fraudsters are counting on that. I can only imagine what a stream of money is pouring into their mobile accounts from unknowing users.
So. Closer to the topic itself.

Everything we need to treat this condition is a USB cable. Yes Yes. Just a USB cable! I hope you, in addition to a tablet, have a regular personal computer, so that we have somewhere to drop our files during the "resuscitation". First, try connecting to your tablet phone via USB. If it does not work, then look for information, for example, on the Internet, about your phone. You should be interested in information - how to start a tablet phone in safe mode (for debugging via usb). Basically, on Android devices, the following combination is used - hold down the power button and the volume down key, wait for the device to turn on (it shouldn't be fast, your tablet phone should scan all files), and go to the settings.

By the way, if you succeeded, then you can reset your tablet by doing a factory reset, but then there is a risk of losing your files (photos, videos, and so on). Notice! With this so-called "virus", nothing has infected your device, your files have not been affected and your infa has not gone anywhere! You have a Trojan installed at startup and that's it! So you can handle it, you just need to get to it!)

So so! Turn off device, hold down the volume key (and the power key) and connect the tablet phone to the PC via a USB cable. Your device should turn on in Safe Mode. If this happens, then everything is fine and everything goes according to plan. In safe mode, enable USB debugging of the device. Thus, you will have access to the file system of the tablet. Copy all the photos, videos and so on files you need to a folder on your PC, then scan it for viruses with your antivirus. There may be files with the name video_lizyt_anus.mp4.apk and video_lizyt_anus.mp4-1.apk... These are the most common banner programs. But for a complete cure, you need to do something else.

You have to return the tablet to its previous factory settings from safe mode. Before doing this, take a look at the settings of the phone-tablet, if there is a checkmark in the "Install applications from unknown sources" item. If there is, then remove it. And never use this item!

So turn on return to factory settings and .. voila! .. you're done! Your device is like new!
This is the surest and most effective way to find your device working properly again.

In some cases, the following instruction works:

Press three buttons (volume keys, both, power key), you should start the process recovery cwm, select the item there wipe data / factory reset and press yes... Restoring your phone or tablet to its original state will begin, at the end of which you will be returned to the home screen recovery... Select the next item on it reboot system now... The tablet will reboot and turn on as it was when you bought it in the store.

If you are overtaken here too failure or you could not do the steps described above, then your road the next day will be to the masters of cell repair. Because anything can happen. Manufacturers of phones and tablets have tried so hard to show off in front of each other that each device has its own troubles. Therefore, you can and should try everything.
But for some reason I think that you will definitely succeed.
By the way, in the same way you can unlock your phone or tablet if you forgot your pattern.

Well, in the next video, master Sergey Klochkov will clearly show how to reset a tablet or phone to factory settings, as well as make custom settings for an android device.

How to remove the banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and unlock the tablet.

According to statistics, many have problems unlocking the tablet. Unfortunately, even if the device is under warranty, you won't be able to unlock it for free. You will have to pay some money, but you will not need to make any effort. Do you want to spend money on payment in the SC? It doesn't matter, read on. In this article I will touch upon restoring access to the device in case you forgot your password or pattern for entering.

What to do to unlock a tablet on Android OS

1) If you had the Internet turned on

If, if it is impossible to unlock your, you can try the following: when you enter the key incorrectly many times in a row (as a rule, after the fifth time within 30 seconds), carefully monitor the screen - a window will pop up where you will be prompted to restore access, and enter your login and the password from the Google mailbox (gmail). In some cases, the offer to restore access will be at the bottom of the key entry field, like in the Nexus 7.

Try to enter your username (without @ gmail.com) and account password. If you have forgotten your password or username, then you can try to restore them by means of Google here. If it doesn't work, we move on. This is the easiest way, but it doesn't work for everyone.

2) If you have software from the manufacturer

Another option is to unlock the tablet using proprietary programs. Like Kies from Samsung or HiSuite from Huawei. It happens that people forget (or do not know, in the case of buying second-hand devices) even the Google mailbox to which the Google Play account is linked. This software can help.

3) If USB debugging was enabled in the settings

A very rare method to reset the unlock through the ADB RUN program, it can only help you if your tablet has USB debugging enabled in the settings. When the tablet is locked, you naturally cannot enable debugging. Still, if you cannot, try it, suddenly this option was enabled, and you did not know.

1. Download ADB driver for your Android tablet. Use Google search, enter the query “Adb driver for Nexus 7” without quotes. Replace the Nexus 7 with your device name and model.
3. Install the ADB driver on a computer with Windows 7 or 8. The detailed process of installing drivers on a PC is described.
4. Download and install the ADB RUN program on your computer
5. Run the program, you will see an unpretentious main menu.

6. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable
7. Press the "1" key on the keyboard and confirm your choice with the Enter key. Thus, you activate the “Device attached?” Function, which will check if your tablet is connected to the computer.

If the program reports that the tablet is not connected, it means that the ADB drivers are either not installed, or the wrong driver is installed. Re-read step 2 and 3, and download the correct driver, and then install it correctly. Happened? Move on. If it didn't work out, there is no point in continuing.

8. Do you see the line “Unlock Gesture Key”, and the number next to it? This is the point we need. We press the number "6" on the computer keyboard, confirm our choice with the Enter key.

3) If there is a Recovery menu

If there are no more options left, but you have - do it. Look on the Internet or for instructions on how to make it for your tablet model. Please note that all of your data stored in the internal memory of the device will be deleted. The memory card will not be affected.

Dima gave excellent advice in the comments, and Alexander made a useful clarification:

  1. turn off the tablet
  2. simultaneously press the keys " increase the volume"+ Key" house"(If any) + power key
  3. hold the power button until the vibration response and then release the power button
  4. at the same time, the volume button is still held until the menu appears
  5. then the volume buttons " more less"(+/-) choose" wipe data / factory reset"And press on it with the power button
  6. if another list with one item appears yes and the rest no - choose volume yes and press the power button
  7. wait until the reset occurs, and then press the first line from the top (" reboot system now") - the tablet will reboot
  8. that's all, such a reset should solve the problem

ATTENTION, if the method above did not help you, simultaneously press the keys " decrease the volume"And power key in the second paragraph.

If your tablet does not have volume buttons, but you need to reset, then you need to read the instructions. Everyone does it differently. But for Explay Informer 701, the hard reset is done like this:

1. press and hold the "back" button
2.press, but do not hold, the power button 1 time
3. release "back"
4. Android itself appears personally, press the "home" button
5.the menu has appeared, select reset in it

Owners of Chinese tablets may find useful advice from Natalia, which she gave in the comments:

1. Turn off the tablet

2. Press the volume button + and at the same time the power button for a short time 4 seconds, then release the power button and alternately press the volume button then + then -, then + then - and so several times, not quickly alternately

3. Then again hold the power button and the volume + button together and then the recovery menu should pop up.

I did not immediately succeed in trying different options, I pressed in a different order at different speeds, in general, on a happy occasion, I found by poking a variant of the sequence of pressing these buttons, at first I had an android with a red belly popping out - this means that the unlocking option is not suitable and you need to try another variant. So after the desired recovery menu pops up, we are looking for “wipe data / factory reset”, move around with the volume button and make a selection with the power button. Then a column appears where there is a lot of No No No No, press yes delete all user data, then another column will pop up, there we are looking for “reboot system now” press and everything is ready.

4) If there is no more hope

Well what can I tell you. The surest way to solve the pattern key problem is.

In case of complete despair, I recommend that you simply take the tablet for service or repair. Yes, you will pay a certain amount, but believe me, sometimes it is better to just pay than to suffer with the problem, spending a lot of time and nerves on it, and never solve it. In addition, if you are not to blame for the problem, but your friend, why not take this amount from him? It seems logical to me. So you will be able to "weld", taking a little more than the cost of unlocking from specialists, as moral compensation. But your business, of course.

According to statistics, many have problems unlocking the tablet. Unfortunately, even if the device is under warranty, you won't be able to unlock it for free. You will have to pay some money, but you will not need to make any effort. Do you want to spend money on payment in the SC? It doesn't matter, read on. In this article I will touch upon restoring access to the device in case you forgot your password or pattern for entering.

What to do to unlock a tablet on Android OS

1) If you had the Internet turned on

If, if it is impossible to unlock your, you can try the following: when you enter the key incorrectly many times in a row (as a rule, after the fifth time within 30 seconds), carefully monitor the screen - a window will pop up where you will be prompted to restore access, and enter your login and the password from the Google mailbox (gmail). In some cases, the offer to restore access will be at the bottom of the key entry field, like in the Nexus 7.

Try to enter your username (without @ gmail.com) and account password. If you have forgotten your password or username, you can try to restore them by means of Google here. If it doesn't work, we move on. This is the easiest way, but it doesn't work for everyone.

2) If you have software from the manufacturer

Another option is to unlock the tablet using proprietary programs. Like Kies from Samsung or HiSuite from Huawei. It happens that people forget (or do not know, in the case of buying second-hand devices) even the Google mailbox to which the Google Play account is linked. This software can help.

3) If USB debugging was enabled in the settings

A very rare method to reset the unlock through the ADB RUN program, it can only help you if your tablet has USB debugging enabled in the settings. When the tablet is locked, you naturally cannot enable debugging. Still, if you cannot, try it, suddenly this option was enabled, and you did not know.

1. Download ADB driver for your Android tablet. Use Google search, enter the query “Adb driver for Nexus 7” without quotes. Replace the Nexus 7 with your device name and model.
3. Install the ADB driver on a computer with Windows 7 or 8. The detailed process of installing drivers on a PC is described.
4. Download and install the ADB RUN program on your computer
5. Run the program, you will see an unpretentious main menu.

6. Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable
7. Press the "1" key on the keyboard and confirm your choice with the Enter key. Thus, you activate the “Device attached?” Function, which will check if your tablet is connected to the computer.

If the program reports that the tablet is not connected, it means that the ADB drivers are either not installed, or the wrong driver is installed. Re-read step 2 and 3, and download the correct driver, and then install it correctly. Happened? Move on. If it didn't work out, there is no point in continuing.

8. Do you see the line “Unlock Gesture Key”, and the number next to it? This is the point we need. We press the number "6" on the computer keyboard, confirm our choice with the Enter key.


9. Next, a window will open, which offers two automatic methods. If you press “1”, the gesture.key file responsible for storing the pattern will be deleted. After that, you just need to reboot the device and enter absolutely any pattern. The second method will simply reset the system.db file and you can use your device as before.

That's all, if you did everything right, congratulations. If it doesn’t work, try again, after carefully reading each paragraph before this, or try to do the same, only on the command line. To do this, do the following on a computer with a tablet connected: Start button in Windows -\u003e Run ... -\u003e enter "cmd" without quotation marks -\u003e enter the following commands, after each line by pressing Enter on the keyboard:
cd /
cd adb / progbin
adb shell
rm /data/system/gesture.key

3) If there is a Recovery menu

If there are no more options left, but you have - do it. Look on the Internet or for instructions on how to make it for your tablet model. Please note that all of your data saved in the internal memory of the device will be deleted. The memory card will not be affected.

And iOS viruses often appear that behave in unpredictable ways. So, many users are faced with the fact that the message "Your phone was blocked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs" appears on the screen - allegedly for viewing pornography and other unpleasant content. As a rule, along with this, access to any menu and system applications is lost, and the message itself indicates the need to pay a fine.

Let's immediately clarify the situation - such information is invalid, because the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not engage in such blocking, does not accept fines by bank transfer, account replenishment and other types of operations.

Therefore, do not believe this message - it is, in fact, a virus designed to defraud users. Note that unlocking the phone in this case is not very easy, but it is possible that you can do it yourself.

Sometimes users may come across the inscription: "Your phone was blocked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." This virus completely paralyzes the device.

Let's find out the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on iPad or Android devices with a few simple operations.

Removing the virus "Your phone is blocked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs" on Android

If a similar message appears when you enter the site, try pressing the "Back" button - if it helped, it means that you have encountered spam, and closing the site will easily save you from the problem.

But if the text allegedly from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia appeared after installing the program or visiting some site, and you cannot perform any operations, the keys do not respond to touch - this is really a virus.

There are several ways to remove it. For example, do the following:

  • Go to yours through the Play Market on a computer or other gadget.
  • Install any of the antiviruses, but when determining the download location, select the infected device.
  • Reboot your tablet or smartphone with the malware, after which the antivirus will start working in the background - you won't see this because of the message, so just wait 10 minutes.
  • So, if the antivirus finds malicious files and deletes them, the message will disappear automatically. After the specified time, reboot the system.

If that doesn't work, try this method:

  • Move the device - turn off the gadget, then hold down the power key and volume up for ten seconds.
  • Select Safe Boot Mode.
  • If the system has rebooted and you can perform actions, go to the settings and uninstall the application that caused the blocking message.
  • In the case when the keys for deleting or stopping a malicious application are blocked, this means that it has received administrator rights. Then you should again boot into safe mode, go to the Play Market, download the antivirus.
  • Reboot your device and it will start checking. After it completes, reboot again.

What if these options are ineffective?

It happens that it is impossible to turn on the antivirus, and even more so to remove the program that caused the appearance of the text about the virus from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In such a situation, it remains only to make a return to the factory settings using the following actions:

  • Go to the Recovery menu.
  • When a window appears with available operations, use the volume keys to go to the line "Wipe data / factory reset" and select it.
  • Your tablet or phone will be reset to factory settings.
  • Reboot the gadget again, after which it will be unlocked.

This method is offered in the last turn due to the fact that when you return to the factory settings, you lose your data in the system - applications, information from them, saved pages, etc. All data on the memory card should remain in place.

How can I delete the blocking message from the Ministry of Internal Affairs from an iOS device?

Note that such text appears as a pop-up window and does not block the use of the system. Therefore, you can remove it as follows:

  • Go to the "Settings" section.
  • Select your browser menu.
  • Click on the line "Clear history and site data".

After these steps, the message will no longer bother you, but no longer go to the site where you encountered such extortion.

Now you know how to unlock your phone from the virus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, you are familiar with the fact that such messages are false. Therefore, do not be intimidated by them, but rather clean the device from viruses using the above methods and then carefully go to third-party sites, and download applications from reliable sources.

Some people don't know how to draw correctly and beautifully on a tablet. The most convenient way to do what you love to do is use the stylus, with which you can create fine lines and small details. And most importantly: to create a cute drawing, it is absolutely not necessary to graduate from art school. Therefore, we will look at this amazing process and the best drawing applications, as well as a few video tutorials with an example

A graphic key is a very reliable protection of data on a tablet computer, but sometimes the owner of the gadget himself becomes its hostage. For example, if he forgets his key. Also, it is not uncommon for a device to fall into the hands of a child who, by random actions, creates a picture password, saves and, naturally, does not remember it. And it becomes impossible to enter the system.

To everyone's joy, this situation is not fatal. In most cases, the tablet can be unlocked by resetting the pattern to zero. It happens that you have to sacrifice the information stored in the device's memory, but more often it is possible to get by with "less blood". Let's take a look at six ways to unlock an Android tablet if you can't remember your picture password.

Via SMS

This option is one of the quick and easy ones, but it will only help those who foresaw a situation with an accidental blocking of the gadget and installed the SMS Bypass application on it in advance, and also received superuser (root) rights. Naturally, the device must be equipped with a SIM card reader.

So how to unlock your Android tablet using SMS Bypass if you forgot your pattern?

  • Install the app from Google Play. It's not free, but it only costs $ 1.99. To install, you need access to the global network and a Google account.
  • Give the app full access to the device.
  • Set in SMS Bypass the secret code to reset the pattern (its default value is 1234). To prevent outsiders from doing this, it is advisable to come up with a more complex code.
  • When blocking, send an SMS with the text “secret_code reset” from another phone to the SIM card number of your tablet. For example, “1234 reset”. The pattern will be reset.

Through a phone call

Note! This option has one major limitation - it works only on Android 2.2 or lower. And such gadgets are quite rare today.

How to unlock your tablet with a call if you forgot your pattern?

  • Make a call to the locked device from another phone.
  • After receiving a call on Android 2.2 it becomes possible to enter the application "Settings" -\u003e "Security" -\u003e "Screen lock" and change the pattern.

Another option is to call from the locked tablet itself. After dialing the number and pressing the call button, the desktop opens literally for a moment. If at this time you have time to click on the application icon (any), it will be possible to enter the “Settings” and reset the key.

Using a Google account

After five unsuccessful login attempts, the "Forgot your pattern?" Button appears on the tablet screen.

Click on it, log into your Google account and go through the procedure for restoring access.

If your device does not have Internet access, you can use one of the methods to get it:

  • Press the "Emergency Call" button, dial the number *#*#7378423#*#* , on the menu Service tests ”select“ WLAN ”and connect to a wireless Wi-Fi network.
  • Install a SIM card into the tablet with a sufficient amount of money in the account and an activated option for connecting to the Internet.
  • Connect the network cable of the provider to the tablet via the USB-LAN adapter.

Through the Recovery menu

Recovery Mode

Recovery is a special recovery mode, from which the system settings are reset to the state as after purchase, the device is flashed, superuser rights are obtained, data is restored from a backup, etc.

Note! To get into it, you need to turn off the tablet and, when you turn it on again, press the volume up or down rocker together with the Power button (each manufacturer has its own combination of buttons).

You can also do this using the ADB Run program, which is installed on a Windows or Linux computer. To enter the Recovery menu, the tablet must be connected via a USB cable to the PC, having previously enabled USB debugging in the “Options” -\u003e “Developer options” menu.

After that start ADB Run, select “Reboot” from the menu and then “Reboot Recovery”.

Recovery mode is available on the vast majority of gadgets running on Android, but not all. If you don't have it on yours, install it separately - with it you will have another way to unlock the tablet if you forgot both the pattern and your Google account. To install, you can use ADB Run in FastBoot mode or the Odin flashing utility (for Samsung gadgets).

Unblocking

To unlock the device, you need to delete the file /data/system/gesture.key... But there is no file manager in the Recovery menu. For it to appear there, you must install it in advance. For example, the Aroma File Manager program is perfect, which opens access to system files directly from Recovery.

If USB debugging is enabled on the tablet, you can also use ADB Run to remove gesture.key by selecting Manual and running the command adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key.

Another way to remove this file is to install a special update that only works if there is a Recovery partition. This update resets the pattern to zero.

Through data reset

Data reset is one of the last resort measures when no other methods have helped. It is not recommended to start with it for the reason that after that you will lose saved SMS, phone book, installed applications and some other data not saved in your Google account. Pictures and melodies will remain in place.

To reset data, you will also need to enter the Recovery menu and select the option wipe data | factory reset... Let's figure out how this is done on devices of some brands.

Samsung

  • On tablets: Turn off the device and press the volume rocker and the Power button before turning it on.
  • On newer smartphones: turn off the device and press the Power, Home and volume rocker buttons before turning it back on.
  • On older smartphones: turn off the device and press the Power and Home buttons before restarting.

Htc

  • When turned on, press and hold the Power buttons and the volume down rocker.
  • The wipe data | factory reset option on some HTS models is called clear storage.

Huawei

  • Turn off the device, remove the battery (if removable) and insert immediately.
  • When turned on, press and hold Power and the volume up rocker.

On some models of Huawei smartphones in recent years of release, data reset is performed by unlocking the bootloader using the HiSuite and ADB Run utilities. The smartphone will then be as clean as after purchase.

Prestigio

How to unlock Prestigio tablet and smartphone if you forgot your pattern?

  • Turn off the device. When turned on, press and hold the Power, Home (if available) and volume rocker buttons.
  • After following the instructions wipe data | factory reset in the Recovery menu, select delete all user data and then - reboot system now.

By flashing method

Flashing a device is the most difficult and risky method. It remains to resort to it if you have forgotten the pattern, you do not have the Internet and you do not know how to unlock the tablet in other ways. It is assumed that you know how to flash Android devices and you already have a suitable firmware with all the necessary tools.

The official source of original firmware is the website of your device manufacturer. All other sources can aggravate the problem by turning the gadget into a “brick”.

The following software is used for flashing certain models of mobile Android devices:

  • For Samsung, the Odin utility we have already mentioned.
  • For LG - KDZ Updater.
  • For Sony - Flsahtool.
  • For devices of different brands - FastBoot from the Android SDK.
  • For devices on chips MediaTek (which are mainly used on Chinese gadgets) - SP Flash Tool.

There is no universal instruction to install the firmware - you must first find it on the developer's website of the flasher utility and study it in detail. If everything goes without incident, you will get a pristine tablet with a brand new Android OS. There will be no trace of the pattern on it.

The operating system for smartphones and tablets Android is so popular that its popularity can only be compared with the popularity of the operating system for computers - Windows. Well, all sorts of scammers are trying to cash in on someone else's popularity.

Recently, a friend brought me a smartphone, in which, after turning on and entering the pattern, a banner appears on the whole screen, of the following type:





Quote:

Your phone has been blocked for viewing pornography, namely scenes of rape, bestiality, pedophilia and other perversions.

To unlock you need to pay a fine! To pay, follow the instructions below:

To unlock your device, you need to pay a fine of the amount indicated below.

  1. Find the nearest terminal for replenishing your account "non-stop24", "i-box", "easypay".
  2. Find "W1 Wallet One" or "Wallet One" in the e-money section or in the search.
  3. Enter the wallet number - 132 447 325 807
  4. Enter "300" hryvnia.
  5. Click "Pay"

After payment, after 24, your device will automatically unlock!

In case of non-payment, your device will be blocked forever, all data will be transferred to the SBU and a case will be opened against you under Article 301 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Import, manufacture, sale, distribution of pornographic items).

This was quoted from the images above. What's funny about this virus is that scammers were able to write such a virus, but the text without errors was not.

When such a banner appears, you can no longer use your device, since the touch buttons do not work. Even the shutdown button doesn't work. In order to turn off the gadget, you need to pull out the battery.

It is clear that people should not be led to such "divorces", but there are many gullible people, so scammers profit from them.

What to do in this case?

  1. The most important thing is not to panic and not run to the police to find out "what it is."
  2. In no case should you pay anything to anyone, because even after payment, no one will unlock anything for you (such cases are known).

How do I remove this lock?

There are 3 ways here:

  1. This option is suitable for those for whom files and documents on the phone do not provide value. To do this, we simply reset the smartphone / tablet to factory settings (on the Internet, there are many instructions on how to do this without going into the smartphone menu). After you reset your device to factory settings, this banner will disappear.
  2. If your device contains valuable information, there is another way, which will save all your valuable files. We need to boot the phone in safe mode (you can also find how to do this on the Internet, since the methods are different for different OS versions). In this mode, only those programs that come with the standard assembly of your Android device are loaded. Accordingly, the virus will not boot either. After you have made sure that the virus has not loaded, go to the Play Market and download the Avast antivirus. After that, we start scanning your device. Antivirus should find this virus and remove it. We turn on the smartphone in normal mode and see that everything is already in order.
  3. Just reflash your device. We use this option only when, for some reason, you cannot use the previous two.

And remember one thing: never install apps from unknown sources. To download a program or game for yourself, there is an official store - Play Market... Also check in the settings of your phone if it is forbidden to install applications from unknown sources on it.

Banner advertising on the Internet is sick of users. Pop-up windows, which you have to guess how to remove, are especially nerve-racking. And there are those who do not want to clean up. They are especially well known to Windows users and are already classified as viruses. Unfortunately, this problem has reached iOS users as well. In the article we will figure out how to remove the virus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on the iPad.

Defining the problem

This infection appeared on the vastness of our Internet not so long ago. The first massive complaints began to come in early summer. And this fact greatly influenced the high opinion of users of Apple technology about its protection from viruses.

In general, iPad users are very unaccustomed to all sorts of glitches. The only good news is that the problem is not so common and the software features of Apple devices make it easy to get rid of an obsessive ailment. There is a simple technique for the case of how to remove the MVD virus from the iPad.

So, once again, when you open the browser on your favorite tablet, you see not your bookmarks, but something like the following message:

The banner, for obvious reasons, interferes with work, and if it is large, then it generally blocks Safari on the device. Since he refers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hence the name - the virus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the iPad.

The text can be of different content, but it all comes down to one thing. You are required to pay a fine for committing certain actions. The fine should be paid to the civil service number, and this number is unique to you. It is understood that this number is for one or more times.

First and foremost, do not send any SMS, do not transfer funds and in no case part with your money. This is pure fraud. Even if you do this, the message will not disappear.

How a virus gets on a gadget

The Ministry of Internal Affairs virus enters the iPad in a fairly common way. By visiting questionable sites, you get a kind of Locker utility on your tablet. It also blocks the browser. So try not to go to intrusive sites, links with prizes and other free bonuses.

How to remove a virus

There are two methods on how to unlock iPad from MVD virus:

  1. The hard way is to remove everything from the device. We get a completely new device in terms of software, just like from a factory, and we are happy. Of the minuses - you need to have a copy of the gadget on your computer or in the cloud, otherwise everything will be lost. It's still a long time.
  2. The milder way is to clear the history of Safari and all other browsers, and more importantly, delete Cookies. Let's talk about this method in more detail.

Go into the settings, find Safari there, scroll down and find the item "Clear history and site data". You boldly press the button, you lose your bookmarks, passwords and everything else, but at the same time the annoying banner.

Why did your mobile phone suddenly start behaving differently, or even “live” with its “life”? Perhaps because a malicious program has settled in it. Today the number of viruses and Trojans for Android is growing exponentially. Why? Yes, because the cunning guys-virus writers know that smartphones and tablets are increasingly being used by our fellow citizens as electronic wallets, and they are doing everything to move funds from the accounts of the owners into their pockets. Let's talk about how to understand that a mobile device has caught an infection, how to remove a virus from Android and protect yourself from re-infections.

Symptoms of a virus infection of an Android device

  • The gadget turns on for longer than usual, slows down or suddenly reboots.
  • The history of SMS and phone calls contains outgoing messages and calls that you did not make.
  • Money is debited from your phone account by itself.
  • Ads that are not associated with any application or site are displayed on your desktop or browser.
  • Programs are installed by themselves, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or a camera are turned on.
  • Access to e-wallets, mobile banking has disappeared or, for unknown reasons, the amount on the accounts has decreased.
  • Someone has taken over your social media or messenger account (if used on a mobile device).
  • The gadget is locked, and a message is displayed on the screen that you violated something and must pay a fine or simply transfer money to someone to unlock it.
  • Suddenly, applications stopped starting, access to folders and files was lost, some device functions were blocked (for example, buttons were not pressed).
  • When launching programs, messages pop up like "an error occurred in the com.android.systemUI application".
  • Unknown icons appeared in the application list, and unknown processes in the task manager.
  • The antivirus program informs you about the detection of malicious objects.
  • The antivirus program uninstalled itself from the device or does not start.
  • Your phone or tablet battery is running out faster than ever.

Not all of these symptoms are 100% indicative of a virus, but each is a reason to immediately scan your device for infection.

The easiest way to remove mobile virus

If the gadget is still working, the easiest way is to remove the virus using the antivirus installed on Android. Run a full scan of the phone's flash memory, if a malicious object is detected, select the "Delete" option, saving the neutralized copy in quarantine (in case the antivirus detects itself and mistook something safe for a virus).

Unfortunately, this method helps in about 30-40% of cases, since most malicious objects actively resist being removed. But the rule exists on them. Next, we'll look at options for action when:

  • antivirus does not start, does not detect or remove the source of the problem;
  • the malware is restored after removal;
  • the device (or its individual functions) are locked.

Remove malware in safe mode

If you can't clean your phone or tablet normally, try Safely. Most malicious programs (not only mobile ones) show no activity in the safe mode and do not interfere with their destruction.

To boot the device in safe mode, press the on / off button, place your finger on “Power off” and hold it until the message “Entering safe mode” appears. Then click OK.

If you have an old version of Android - 4.0 and lower, turn off the gadget in the usual way and turn it on again. When the Android logo appears on the screen, press the volume up and down keys at the same time. Hold them until the device boots up completely.

While in safe mode, scan your device with antivirus. If there is no antivirus or it does not start for some reason, install (or reinstall) it from Google Play.

In this way, advertising viruses such as Android.Gmobi 1 and Android.Gmobi.3 (according to Dr. Web classification), which download various programs to the phone (in order to increase the rating), and also display banners and ads on the desktop, are successfully removed.

If you have superuser (root) rights and you know exactly what exactly caused the problem, start a file manager (for example, Root explorer), follow the path where this file is located and delete it. Most often, mobile viruses and Trojans place their bodies (executable files with the .apk extension) in the system / app directory.

To return to normal mode, simply reboot the device.

Removing mobile viruses via computer

Removing viruses on the phone through a computer helps out when the mobile antivirus cannot cope with its task even in safe mode or the device's functions are partially blocked.

Removing a virus from a tablet and phone using a computer is also possible in two ways:

  • using an antivirus installed on the PC;
  • manually through a file manager for Android gadgets, for example, Android Commander.

We use antivirus on the computer

To check the files of the mobile device with the antivirus installed on the computer, connect the phone or tablet to the PC with a USB cable, selecting the "Like USB storage" method.

Next turn on USB.

After that, 2 additional "disks" will appear in the "Computer" folder on the PC - the internal memory of the phone and the SD card. To start scanning, open the context menu of each disk and click "Check for viruses".

Removing malware via Android Commander

Android Commander is a program for exchanging files between an android mobile gadget and a PC. Launched on a computer, it provides the owner with access to the memory of the tablet or phone, allows you to copy, move and delete any data.

For full access to all the contents of an android gadget, you must first obtain root rights and enable USB debugging. The latter is activated through the service application "Options" - "System" - "Developer options".

Next, connect the gadget to your PC as a USB drive and run Android Commander with administrator rights. In it, unlike Windows Explorer, protected system files and directories of the Android OS are displayed - just like, for example, in Root Explorer - a file manager for root users.

The right half of the Android Commander window shows the directories of the mobile device. Find the executable file of the application (with the extension .apk) in them, which is causing the problem, and delete it. Alternatively, copy suspicious folders from your phone to your computer and scan each of them with an antivirus.

What to do if the virus is not removed

If the above operations did not lead to anything, the malware still makes itself felt, and if the operating system after cleaning has ceased to function normally, you will have to resort to one of the radical measures:

  • reset with restoring factory settings via the system menu;
  • hard reset via the Recovery menu;
  • flashing the device.

Any of these methods will bring the device to the state as after purchase - there will be no user programs, personal settings, files and other information (data about SMS, calls, etc.) on it. Your Google account will also be deleted. Therefore, if possible, transfer the phone book to the SIM card and copy paid applications and other valuable items to external media. It is advisable to do it manually - without using special programs, so as not to accidentally copy the virus. Then proceed with the "treatment".

Restoring factory settings through the system menu

This option is the easiest. It can be used when the functions of the operating system and the device itself are not locked.

Go to the "Settings" application, open the "Personal" - "Backup" section and select "Factory data reset".

Hard reset via the Recovery menu

A "hard" reset will help you deal with malware if it cannot be removed by any of the above methods or if it has blocked the login. To our delight, access to the Recovery menu is still available.

Login to Recovery on different phones and tablets is done differently. On some for this you need to hold down the "Volume +" key when turning on, on others - "Volume -", on the third - press a special recessed button, etc. The exact information is contained in the instructions for the device.

In the Recovery menu, select the option "wipe data / factory reset" or simply "factory reset".

Flashing

Flashing is essentially a reinstallation of the Android OS, the same last resort as reinstalling Windows on a computer. It is used in exceptional cases, for example, when a certain Chinese virus is embedded directly into the firmware and lives on the device from the moment of its "birth". One such malware is the android spy 128 origin spyware.

To flash a phone or tablet, you will need root rights, a distribution kit (the firmware itself), an installation program, a computer with a USB cable or an SD card. Remember that for each gadget model its own, individual firmware versions are released. Installation instructions are usually found with them.

How to avoid virus infection of Android devices

  • Install mobile apps only from trusted sources, abandon hacked programs.
  • Update the device as system updates are released - in them, the developers fix vulnerabilities that are used by viruses and Trojans.
  • Install a mobile antivirus and keep it always on.
  • If the gadget serves as your wallet, do not allow other people to access the Internet or open unverified files on it.
