hi guys,
I had previously posted in here regarding my phone being stuck in bootloop and despite many attempts and guidance from others (including user(s) on here, it failed).
For a reason I cannot establish the phone will not accept the flashing the rom and I guess this is a sign the phone is now a brick but as I have no job, no money, I need a phone so if I can get this back to life, I will exhaust every avenue.
Since I can't do anything with the firm ware, I thought about rooting the phone as is a means of using a new set of firmware. I read about the OEM setting in Developer needing to be set, but since I cannot access the phone, this is not possible.
When I start the process of rooting, I ran a twrp through Idon which failed, and on the phone it say about the FRP lock.
I know this is a security feature of the phone and people say it is linked to google account. If this is the case, I will have the credentials to log into google. but, if the phone is being rooted, essentially formatted as I understand it, then there will be nothing left on the phone to access?
Is this an extra security feature so that if the phone was lost or stolen that whoever has it cannot do the same thing and then have a new functioning phone?
I just want my phone to work again, if it ever will.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
