zis iz fecking intentional "E:Cannot log to file /dev/fscklogs/log"

-Other phones don't prompt this during the data wipe(factory reset), this is fecking intentional.

Also it got no battery charging cycle count in the bug report neither.

Is there any other reliable way to determine if the phone is genuinely brand new?

Through Recovery Mode and Android Settings, Wipe Data(Factory Reset) related log entries should persist in the recovery log file under Recovery Mode right?

The related log entries should persist even after reboot, power off, wipe data(factory reset), right?

Other phones I've used will retain all wipe data related log entries.

Currently I've a brand new android phone that doesn't do that.

'Wipe data' related log entries will disappear after powering off or rebooting the device(the recovery log file still exist, and judge by the changes of the numbers inside every [ ] at the start of every line, all remained log entries are actually newly generated, though the log file's size will shrink back to the exact size before the wipe data action).

(It proceeds like this:

Go into the recovery mode;

No wipe data related entry inside the recovery log file;

Perform wipe data;

Related entries appear, the log file's size increases;

Reboot or power off then on again;

Wipe data related entries disappeared, the log file's size shrink back to before the wiping, the numbers inside every [ ] at the start of every lines have changed.)

Such shady doing, alternating the default logging behavior.

    Does this answer your question? Retrieve stored logger data (Android Oreo or Pie, maybe even higher)// See the accepted answer

  • @beeshyams shouldn't the recovery log unaffected by that? Since the developer option certainly will be turned off after the wipe data(factory reset) and any alternation done through that. Also I've never needed to turn on anything for the recovery log to persist on other phones.

  • @beeshyams it's the wipe data related log entries are disappearing, the recovery log file itself is persisting. But judge from the changes in numbers inside '[ ]' at the start of every lines, all remaining entries are actually newly generated.

  • I guess another question is: what is the device model? As you may have noticed, manufacturers can and do customize their Android OS including system logging.

    I have no technical understanding. I was only pointing to an existing answer and it looked to me that what you are asking in your question is covered there
