So, since in the U.S., Canada and many other countries you are required to provide to border and customs agents both physical access to your phone/computer and the password to access it, this means that you just can't trust any device that has been through customs.
Is it there any software or means to reset/clean a phone or computer? Is it possible to backup all your data and accounts into external storage, wipe the device clean and, after customs, reset it again?
- Semaphor 10y agoYou can do a nandroid backup, format the phone and reinstall the nandroid backup. Formatting is probably not even needed as restoring the nandroid backup will overwrite everything. At least for the laughingly trivial case the article presents that would be enough. Not sure how much of the above is possible on an unrooted phone.
- diego_moita 10y agoThank you. It seems that Flashify and Flashfire can also do this. I will root my phone next month and start playing with them.
