How to Enable Factory Mode in any OnePlus Device
There exist three different methods through which you could carry out the said task. The first two are non-root methods whereas the third one is the rooted method. You may try out the one that is in sync with your requirement. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
Method 1: Via ADB Shell
Out of the two non-root methods, this is a slightly technical one and requires a PC, but still, it should be your go-to choice as it doesn’t ask for your device’s IMEI number.
- To begin with, download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC.
- Then enable USB Debugging on your device and connect it to the PC via USB cable.
- After that, head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in its address bar, and hit Enter.
- This will launch the Command Prompt. Type in the below command to open the shell environment.
adb shell
- You might now get a Debugging authorization prompt on your device, tap Allow/Grant.
- Now download the OnePlus Tool.exe [Credits: XDA Senior Member ju5t3nc4s3].
- Then launch it, type in 1, and hit Enter.
- It will bring up the code for your device.
- Once done, type in 5 and hit Enter. It will bring up the Input Code window. [You may also bring up this window by typing in *#*#5646#*#* in the dialer app on your phone].
- Type in the code that you got earlier and hit OK. You should get the “Decrypted successfully” message.
- Now bring up the dialer and input the below code [Google Dialer worked for me, OnePlus Dialer didn’t].
*#808* OR *#36446337#
- That’s it. You will now be taken to the Factory Mode and you may now carry out the desired test.
Method 2: Via IMEI Number
This is the easiest of the three methods but comes with an associated risk. This is a web-based method wherein you need to enter your device’s IMEI number. While the website has mentioned that they don’t store IMEI, however, there’s always an element of risk involved in using the device’s IMEI in such places. But the ultimate decision lies in your hands, so decide accordingly.
- Open the dialer and type in *#06#. This shall bring up the IMEI number. Long press on IMEI 1 and copy it.
- Then head over to the OnePlus Unlock Code Generator website.
- Select Unlock for 10 minutes, type in the IMEI in the space provided, and hit Convert.
- You will now get the Unlock Code.
- So open the dialer app and type in the below code:
*#*#5646#*#*
- Type in the Unlock Code that you and hit OK. You should get the “Decrypted successfully” message.
- Now bring up the dialer and input the below code [Google Dialer worked for me, OnePlus Dialer didn’t].
*#808* OR *#36446337#
- That’s it. You will now be taken to the Factory Mode and you may now carry out the desired test.
Method 3: Via Root
For this process to work, you need to have administrative privileges as you will have to access the persist partition. So make sure that you have rooted your device via Magisk before proceeding ahead.
[UPDATE: Instead of the below steps, you may also just flash this Magisk module by XDA Senior Member jamal2367.3068641 and type in *#808* to straightaway enable the Factory Mode on your onePlus device].
- To begin with, download and install a file explorer that supports root [such as Solid Explorer].
- Then tap on the hamburger menu situated at the top left and select the Root partition.
- It will ask for a SuperUser request, make sure to Allow/Grant it.
- Then go to the below location:
/mnt/vendor/persist/engineermode/
- There you should find the engineermode_config file, open it via the text editor.
- It will have the following contents:
encrypt_app=true encrypt_adb=true rc4_key=********************** imei=******************* last_download_time=*********** encrypt_log=true
- Change the value of encrypt_app and encrypt_adb to False, i.e.
encrypt_app=false encrypt_adb=false rc4_key=******************************** imei=******************* last_download_time=******************* encrypt_log=true
- Now save the changes and restart your device.
- Once it boots up, open the stock OnePlus phone app.
- Then type in the desired factory code of your choice.
- For example, to access the OnePlus Factory Mode main menu, type in the below code:
*#808#
That’s it. These were the steps to enable the Factory Mode on your OnePlus device. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
