Since Android is not an iPhone and it's less protected I suggest to make a password access to fastboot mode. Cause when you a robbed your phone can be easily wiped and reused. To prevent it, I ask devs to make kinda of protection for our phones(to make my idea possible). For example if you forgot your password you could write your name to unlock it. Just a crazy idea. I had 2 phones stolen and I don't want to have my nexus to be stolen too. Thanks for attention
[REQ] Fastboot and Recovery Protection
- Thread starter EminSG
- Start date
custom recoveries do have a password protection option, fastboot will never have it. but android isnt less secure than the iphone, youve been reading pro apple information. android is actually safer.
I know about recoveries, yes they have. But it's possible to wipe data even without using recovery or am I missing something? Wipe data means losing your phone. iPhones cannot be activated without an account. You need only a password on a lockscreen and thats it. Without knowing password or account it's impossible to make it working.
Backup is data loss protection. Password is data theft protection.
Someone who knows what they're doing can get data off an iPhone, don't worry about that

theres a factory reset option in the main phone settings, backup and reset. theres also a backup option there that will restore everything(data and apps) when you do factory reset. if you password protect your phone, its secure as well.
I don't worry about my data, I always have a backup on my cloud or computer. We have a soft from google called "Android device manager". I think it's useful but it won't work after a data wipe. All I want to have is to block wipe data option from anywhere. So chances to find my phone will increase
I got it .I have lockscreen password and for example I have a recovery protection. Isn't it possible to flash phone and use it as it was out of box?
Wont be possible as fastboot can never be locked.
Best bet would be to get an app like pray that can be modified to read and save data in /system as that has more chance of being overlooked.

if its password protected, not through recovery then. but its possible via fastboot. but even if your phone gets the factory image flashed onto it, the moment you log back into your phone, your apps will reinstall, and if you enabled the data backup, most your data will get restored as well.
Thanks for your help. As I understood it's impossible to make phone safer. It's possible to find how to make it clear..
if someone really wants to access your phone, whether its an android or an iphone, they can do it. but to the everyday normal person, its very hard.
