As a software engineer, I found this very helpful as it has helped me recover many android phones...



Rooting your phone also can help get better access to some set up

I hope it helps

all these only works if the thief is a "learner". if it is a smart crook, the first thing he does is switch off the phone to avoid it being tracked, and then flash/format the phone so as to get rid of any trackers etc.
but at least its better to do what the OP has mentioned in his post, than doing nothing at all. you might be lucky and the thief who steals your phone will be a "learner"

You have said it all sha..remember some thieves are still learners and will do only factory reset..when they sell or put any sim..it sends a msg to your other sim and you can trace it depending on the antivirus u are using ... Avast will hardly go off if you root the phone and activate the anti theft...at least its beter than nothing......true caller can help you trace the name too..almost all the sim in naija is registered to one social network or the other...



Also true dialer helps you identify the number even before you actually dial it

hmm i was not aware that rooting an anti virus to a phone makes it impossible for the anti virus to be deleted even if the phone is flashed/formatted

sorry not rooting it into the phone..it more like rooting the phone and then using avast after updating..activate the anti theft... But it will delete if flashed...but wont if formated...

oh okay, now i get it. thiefs dont restore the phone to factory settings, they take it to computer guys and have it flashed completely. but all in all sha, "learners" still dey.

so many ppl mistake flashing with formating..trust me..I do this job, no dude will come and and say guy flash this phone for me cos I steal am...instead day will say..flash this phone for me..and what most of us do is just factory set it and that is all...cos around here to completely flash android is 1k to 1.5k..and this niggas will not pay such unless its critical os issue...all in all if you are sharp and with some luck you might recover or catch the thief... Especially if he or she is a close friend ... Most of them are
