Aquaris X can't access developer options - BQ Aquaris X Pro Questions & Answers

The whole phone seems to be in some sort of "simple mode", most applications like play store are non existent. The settings seem to be much simpler, without options such as "install from unknown sources" etc. I can't even enable bluetooth or browse my files. I wanted to enable USB debugging to flash a new costum rom, but I can't turn on the developer options.
I also cannot enter the fastboot or recovery mode.
Please help.

I just bought one too, hoping to replace my now aging BQ Aquaris X5 as a daily driver ...
It's really frustrating - it's like the OS is crippled/locked.
Power + Vol Up loads up a different Android OS, requires a f*****ng long password which you set after factory reset for full-disk encryption ...
There is no fastboot, no developer options, a lot of things are restricted.
The phone just beeps and reboots if you try to enter any system mode using key combinations.
I have a Moto X Style/Pure, which I unbricked using a loader image on an SD card to boot into fastboot/recovery, can the same be applied here? It's not as if it's hard bricked ...
Can anyone with a working BQ Aquaris X/X Pro create a loader image? Thanks in advance!

Looks like the bootloader has been overwritten with something custom. People around the internet suggested it's EncronChat OS or EncronSomething.
Anyway, if I can boot it in EDL I guess I'll be able to force flash anything.
I can order a "deep flash" or "EDL" cable from AliExpress, but there's a chance it might not work as other people have reported.
Does anyone know where the test points are located?

Found this via a google search, try giving it a shot and see if it works. Otherwise there are other results and YouTube videos. One of those should point you in the right direction.

Though it would help anyone who would want to try and help if you provided some more information on the nature of the issue and phone.
For example knowing the disposition of the phone (how you got it, is it a demo/retail/company provided/etc), what kind of phone it is (snapdragon, exynos), model of the phone and how MDM was (or would have been) activated on the phone. MDM isn't there for no reason, and it would seem (reading what little I did on those Google Searches) the solutions would kinda seem too tailor towards the reason:
For example:
You work for a company (or of your own accord) that installed Mobile Device Management profiles
This is a demo unit from a store
You installed an application that configured MDM
You may have tried installing firmware (official, custom, unofficial, etc)
well i think im gonna keep using it as demo there is no help any where .exept the 120 usd to drop the file for parmanent remove of that demo .

Hi there. I had the same issue on my samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition I purchased as a demo unit. tried flashing stock ROM using ODIN with no effect and unable to factory reset. finally, this was how I was able to factory reset by tablet with all the retail settings including all the preinstalled videos and images gone.
1. Firstly, your device should be signed into your google account.
2.Enable find my phone in settings
3.Go to your google account (in the same device or different device).
4.Go to devices and select lost device
5.press "consider erasing" device
And Voila, the tablet was reset to stock android with no retail apps or data.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks

Interesting
But I doubt this flaw will work on latest devices note 8, j7 pro,. Just to mention two of the devices I have got.
Also some MDM implementations will not allow you to enter settings menu.

Bootloop?

Hi,
I have a big problem.
My brother tried to root my Xtrons Px6 rk3399 gs. with Su user. He updated superuser. Now the radio is in the boot loop and it won't start. He then tried a new firmware to bottles which does not work either, the radio only shows the logo. I get into recovery. I just do not know how to go on:-(
it's the Xtrons PQ80UNV
Sorry for my english.

TF? Why would you want to root that?
Did you try factory resetting?
He said it would be better. then you have more options. Because of some sound patch, I don't know much about it. Factory reset? I pressed Restet button but no change. It doesn't just start the boot logo from Vw.
I don't even get to the Adroid. Only in recovery.
Did a wipe, but it still doesn't start.
You chose wipe cache partition. I meant "Wipe data/factory reset"
Try choosing it.
If your brother is the one who did this as you say, if it's me I'd force him to fix it or at least pay for it.
I tried that too. I also tried the original firmware here, but always the same.

Yes, that's right, he's currently doing assembly work. I'm really desperate :-(
What I noticed is that with every firmware I install it is always the same recovery version.

I don't believe you can root a device and suddenly you forget about it...
Do you have unlocked bootloader? You may need to flash the stock ROM if you can find it.
It works again, I have now flashed the img instead of the ota. Now it works again. Great. Thank you so much for your help

I don't think I did anything but happy to see everything work out fine.
Make sure your brother doesn't do something like that again.
NO, he can't get to this radio anymore .. thanks again
the UNIT you have, looks almost the same as ICE/HU/PBX89UNV ( except mine has android 9 ) XTRONS ? 64GB -4GB ?
correction- there are multiple versions of this exact same unit. (even one with a qualcomn)
yours has the HDMI out pigtail ?
firmware link -
word instruction -
codes to ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS
To start debugging, enter adbon in the factory settings input password box
if you want to change the factory settings, boot image, etc,, enter 126 in the factory settings input password box.
may i ask fellow members , to root this ,
unlock boot-loader,
flash updated BOOT.img (magisk patched)
-- because this is android 9, do i need a BLANK VBMETA flash?
funny fact--- this unit, will BOOTLOOP if you put a 512GB micro SD card in the slot, it boot loop cycles..
(anything above 128GB causes issues )
the micro SD slot for MAP/GPS , --- can we use this for anything else ?
and does anyone know of there are any custom roms and or TWRP already built for this > (this should share similar/same across a few brands ?)

Skyworth hp4024 (hp40a)

Hi guys. I have a Skyworth hp4024 (hp40a) which is the same as Strong Leap-s1 or Mecool KM2. It is probably based on s905x2 and the RAM is DDR4 - at least that's what the system info on the box says. I got it from my iptv provider but I can't get out of a factory launcher so the box is useless except for iptv. There is no reset button, developer options can't be enabled because it says 'developer options are not available for this user' so I can't connect to it via adb. Can you help me figure out short pins on the box? I tried shorting some but the box wasn't recognised in the burning tool.

Thanks. I tried replacing some files in the ota.zip and flashing it via update menu entry but it wouldn't install because it wasn't signed with the proper keys probably.

The "pins" you highlight both go to ground. They are already "put together".
I do have the same thing with similar version of skyworth tv box.
I couldn't figure out how to hard reset the device. And there is no reset button
Any idea how to reset the device?

For factory reset, unpack this folder on a flash drive and plug it in the box. Reboot it and it should reset.

After full upgrade, it's impossible to return to the previous version even after reset.

The company issued an update that blocks activating the developer mode. With the setting and with developer tool app (which gives a black screen)
The whole thing I'm trying is to go activate the developer options back either by going back one update or activating the developer options somehow.
Any help and I'll be very greatful
Maybe only if you have the zip of the previous firmware with the developer options. My box is also locked. There is a secret menu, you activate developer options but they are disabled. It says 'not available for this user'

Oppo A51w encryption unsuccessful, help

I have an Oppo A51w (Oppo Mirror 5) that I just reset to factory settings, out of nowhere when I restared the phone after that it shows encryption unsuccessful, and a reset phone button, which I couldn't press.
Going into ColorOS recovery mode, I tried wiping data and cache, but wiping data doesn't work because it says I have no space it needs at least 250mb, but I remember the phone does have plenty of space, more than 7gbs, so I don't get why it shows that.
As for fastboot mode it doesn't really do anything other than show its starting logo and text and it turns off? Is there anything else I'm supposed to do I'm not sure?
Anything I could do to get past the encryption screen? I don't mind having to fully reset the phone or flash it but I might need a guide.
There is also an install from sd option in the recovery mode, if somehow it can be fixed from there then please help me with that.
The android version is 5.1.1 and ColorOS 2.1.0i
The version that shows on the ColorOS recovery is 1.2
Android 5.1 is too old. I am not sure which fastboot commands are supported for this version but you can try this even if Fastboot works for few seconds.
fastboot -w
fastboot erase userdata
If the fastboot method does not work then you need to find a MSM Download tool and correct firmware for your device model and flash it.

Does this need USB debugging? I don't have it enabled and can't enable it because I can't get past the encryption screen.
I tried using MSM download tool but for some reason it won't detect my phone and I'm not sure which usb driver to use and how to install it.
The phone also isn't rooted.
Update:
The phone is now stuck on boot loop. I tried to flash it from sd card using stock rom from the official website, without wiping data first because it wasn't possible (needs 250mb of storage space even though there IS enough free space). It said it was successful, but after rebooting it just gets stuck on boot loop.
- for adb I'd need usb debugging? Which can't be enabled
- the phone isn't rooted, so no cwm
- msm download tool I tried, v4 and v5 doesn't work it says "Packed image not exist" but v1.6.7 does? except even it won't detect the phone, and the rom that i downloaded for that from a different source had different phone model options which i do not recognize (oppo15008.bin etc and rawprogram0_MSM_15070.xml) so I'm not sure which one to choose. Maybe I haven't installed the driver but I don't know which to install and how to.
I really have no experience with this and just tried different guides on the internet to get the phone working. For now I don't know what to do. Any help is appreciated.
Your device seems to have Qualcomm chipset so it can be repaired in the EDL mode (9008). Search google "unbrick oppo a51w". It will give you all info you need to fix this.
If your device is not detected even after installing correct drivers, then you need to use Test Point method (shorting JTAG pins) to access EDL mode. This step needs expertise to short correct pins, if your attempts fail then your best option is the Oppo service center.

Help Rooting Vodafone Smart x9

Hi there! I need some help, I am trying to root my device and need a boot.img, but I cannot find a Rom for the x9 anywhere online.
This is my first time doing this, I got this phone just to mess around with rooting. But maybe I bought a bad phone for it.
If there are no Flash Roms online, what are the next steps? Can I use a Rom for the e9 which released alongside this phone? Sounds like it wouldnt work.. but IDK.
Looking for help from the experts ^^
Any help is appreciated.
Finally found one! Took over 2 hours to download a 2gb file O,O but it's finally done.
Now I am having problems getting into bootloader mode.
In developer mode with both OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled.
Used the correct cmd prompt (adb reboot bootloader) but the phone just restarts.
I've tried restarting while holding the volume buttons.
VOL Down = Factory Test Mode, nothing works as expected there.
VOL UP = A boot menu letting me select from ~10 options, one of them is Boot to Bootloader. Selecting that simply boots normal, nothing special.
I have followed three guides:
How TO Root Vodafone Smart X9 Magisk without TWRP Recovery
If your Smart X9 is rooted using Magisk without TWRP Recovery. You can control a lot of features such as you can remove unwanted software.
www.getdroidpro.com
Vodafone Smart E9 Unlock Bootloader with Fastboot Method
How to unlock bootloader on your Vodafone with Fastboot Method. You can install custom ROM, custom recovery, kernel, flash all data
www.mobilewithdrivers.com
All seem logical enough, many similarities between them. I just cannot get into fastboot mode.
I've seen LOADS of threads with this same problem on this forum. And none of them have any solutions. So I think this is the end of the road. If nobody has figured it out .. then I am just out of luck I guess?

Hi @joke19 !
I havnt seen any of the guides mentioning needing a certain amount of buttons :O
How does that factor in - does that mean it cannot be rooted for some reason?
Still having this problem, and I have followed a lot of guides to the letter. I cant see what I am doing wrong. Here's where I am:

PC is fully up to date on Windows 10.
I've got the lastest up-to-date version of platform-tools.
I'm using USB2.0 with the correct wires.
The phone is in developer mode with USB Debugging and OEM unlocking enabled.
I'm using the correct command lines. adb devices & adb reboot bootloader work as expected.
But none of these will work: fastboot devices, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock.
I just get < waiting for any device >
Can anyone help figure this out? I must be doing sooomething wrong. Everything online says its a driver issue, but then again, all the guides on how to fix that driver issue have been followed and completed. The first bullet with the image should also sort of verify that.
Praying some wizard out there has the knowledge I need to get this working! ^^
