Okay, I got a little confused because I mentioned two different phones and in the 1st question which was originally about my Alcatel Avalon. When doing the hard reset by the power & volume buttons, gave me that page I mentioned showing the large barcodes & the phrase "BOOT SEQUENCE MODE" with no options to go anywhere else or click on anything. (that I recall). I thought it was almost like it was a screen shot. That was purchased at a local drug store. Walgreens I believe. Boxed in a Verizon box. It started giving me problems (like all of my phones have for the past 2 years) after about 2 weeks (same as my other phones) Data just evaporating over night. Settings all changed over night to open all possible vulnerabilities. Wifi on. Hotspot on & then missing data. Videos deleted from a YouTube channel. Constantly getting screens that say "that page doesnt exist or isn't available" or I'll notice the http is missing the "s" & when I tap it it says its not a secure site. Having apps that are installed, nowhere to be found in Google Play Store. Yet app that "SHOULD" come on the phone pre-installed, say they're installed in Google Play Store (like calculator) I am also constantly having trouble with my accounts for website saying my accounts is suspended for violating their terms of service. When all I do is create my account and use it normally. I used to have a small profitable online sales business. Once that started growing (around Feb 2020), I had someone I know, hack me, (all my sales accounts were shut down.. for violating TOS!) She offered to post my ads "for me" then stole $25,000 in eBay sales. I've been having the same problems with every phone Ive purchased since then. I spend so much time on the phone with providers its like a full time (very stressful & exhausting job. Without pay!) I have businesses I've looked up on Google Maps, clicked the phone number to "dial", & then been re-directed to a completely different business! Just so much I couldn't possibly list everything! My life has been destroyed since she hacked me. But I don't CALL HER, let alone with any of these phones. I did think possibly someone I let move in with me did something to the 1st 2 phones this happened to. I just dont know WHAT or HOW its happening to EVERY phone. All this same stuff. ...and the fact NONE OF THEM will do a hard reset!
I did not realize that. I will try that. Are you meaning that could be why it won't reset? Or that should be the process? Because the apps, phone settings, just everything.. all stayed just as they were when I tried to reset thru settings
