I think it’s due to some other setting, like “wipe the phone if password is entered wrongly ten times”. It’s possible to enter bootloader mode accidentally, but wipe the phone requires too many steps to be done multiple times in a row.
Backups and android always suck. They made it on the developer. It’s the developer that has to write a function to backup the settings on the Google servers. Not difficult, takes like a couple hours tops, but nobody is doing that.
Instead on iOS it works on the opposite way, the operating system backups everything and it’s the developer that has to waste a couple hours if they DON’T want their app data backupped on iCloud.
The result is that on iOS a backup restore gives you a almost 1:1 copy, while on Android a backup restore gives you a phone with all the apps resettled to zero


















Same at our work. Google is sending customers to the private back alley behind the building (access from a totally different road!), and then they’re confused, calling us to open the gate
