DOOGEE Blade 20 Max: How to Fix PIN Not Accepted with Factory Reset

Understanding the 'PIN Not Accepted' Issue

• 💡 The video addresses the common problem where the DOOGEE Blade 20 Max displays 'PIN not accepted' even when the correct PIN is entered.
• ⚠️ It's noted that this issue is similar to pattern or passcode lock problems.

Options for Resolving Access Issues

• 📞 If you are certain you're entering the correct PIN, you can contact DOOGEE support with proof of purchase.
• 🔒 Support may be able to retrieve your data, but this is not guaranteed to be secure.
• ⚠️ If you've forgotten the PIN or are experiencing persistent 'PIN not accepted' errors, a factory reset is the only solution, which will result in data loss.

Performing a Factory Reset

• 🔌 First, power off the phone by holding the Power and Volume Up buttons, then selecting 'Power Off'.
• 🚀 To enter boot mode, hold the Power and Volume Up buttons. Once you feel a vibration, release the Power button and continue holding Volume Up.
• 🛠️ Navigate to 'Recovery mode' using the Volume Down button and select it with the Power button.
• ⚠️ If you see a 'No command' screen, hold the Power button and briefly press the Volume Up button to access Android Recovery.
• 🗑️ In Android Recovery, navigate to 'Wipe data / factory reset' using Volume Down and confirm with the Power button. Confirm the reset again when prompted.

Post-Reset and Google FRP

• ⚙️ After the reset, the device will restart to the setup screen.
• 🔑 Crucially, you must remember your Google account password to set up the device again.
• 🔒 This is due to Google FRP (Factory Reset Protection), which prevents unauthorized access to the device after a reset and can render a stolen phone useless without the correct Google account credentials.
