How secure is the Huawei P30 in the event of theft or hacking from outside?
It is important that no one from the outside or if my mobile phone is stolen has access to the operating data that has been deleted.
The following text can be found under data at huawei in the safety regulations
, We use a number of technologies, such as encryption technologies, to ensure the confidentiality of the data during transmission. We implement proven protection mechanisms to protect data and data storage servers from attacks. "
So can I assume that the Huawei P30 Lite encrypts the data?
How likely is it in the event of theft or an attack from the outside that the data can be read out?
I have a 4-digit locking code, what if I lose my mobile phone or it is stolen, can't that person just crack the 4-digit code and then read the data?
How can I imagine the encryption protection and does it have to be activated somehow?
This is about data that is transmitted from your Huawei smartphone to Huawei itself, or that is covertly tapped.
The cell phone is only as secure as you make it yourself and deal with it, Android 10 is no more secure than previous Android versions.
How can I make it safe?
The Android versions have the aes-128 encryption
90% of the successful attacks can be blamed on the users.
I personally do data recovery - also from telephones - and can tell you that it is often very time-consuming to get the data even with the help of the owner.
However, there can always be exploits that can be exploited with special tools. Nothing is 100% certain except death!
The question is more whether a thief is willing to invest hundreds or even thousands of euro to get your data. They are more likely to want to sell the phone and to do this, your data will simply be destroyed and the phone reset to factory settings. Then there are a few euro on eBay Classifieds or LetGo for the part.
What exactly do you want to back up on the phone?
My data is photos videos anyway but mainly operational data
What does it have to do with the security of your cell phone after theft?
As it is specified by the employer after a new purchase. But I would like to keep it and the data are all deleted, then tried to overwrite it with Ishredder but it didn't work properly because I could still create some files with another app,
I just made a 17-digit pin as a lock screen and added a fingerprint so I don't always have to enter it.
I hope that in this case the AES-128 encryption of Android works in the event of theft. Or would there be a way to bypass this 17-digit locking code and still get to the data?
Do you have another tip to delete the operating data permanently?
Didn't you get the data so easily from outside? As far as I know, encryption has been mandatory since Android 5. It's about when I have a lock screen with a 17-digit code and someone tries to get the data that this encryption works and does not reveal it was made for it
Please what, one has absolutely nothing to do with the other?
You only block the use of the cell phone by unauthorized persons, this code is cracked in no time if someone knows anything about it and then he has full access to your cell phone and your data.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Then please explain to me how to crack a 17-digit code consisting of numbers and letters in no time… And then I would like to know what the Aes-128 encryption brings in your eyes.
I lock the cell phone for unauthorized persons, which means that you can't just take my cell phone, connect it to a pc and read out the data because the encryption then takes effect, which is available in every operating system from Android 5 onwards
The encryption has nothing to do with the screen lock, everything you write here is nonsense, and I don't feel like it anymore.

There are corresponding tools to securely delete data - n / a Which app is good I use a certified extinguishing device that also outputs a corresponding report…
I just question that a thief puts a lot of time and work into it. Corresponding tools that can crack such a cell phone cost thousands of euro, you can actually only acquire them as a company and require a maintenance contract for the updates as well as appropriate training.
And how should they know what they'll find on the phone?! Maybe there are only tail photos and clearly ambiguous chats in various WhatsApp groups on it.
Flashing or resetting a cell phone and then bypassing FRP can be done with free tools or cell phone boxes that cost 100-300 EUR. The whole thing only takes a few minutes and you can sell your mobile phone at the nearest store or put it on a classifieds portal.
What do you think is more economical for a thief?
No matter what you do, any system can be cracked and everything can be bypassed. The only question is whether the effort is worth it!
Trade secrets are hard to monetize and so are various photos. If you want to get access to account data such as PayPal, Skrill, eBay, etc. Then you can buy them for a few EUR on the Darknet - even for this it is not worth the effort of standing and cracking a cell phone.
So your greatest security is that cracking it hardly makes economic sense!
Well there are various modes that you can use. E.g. Recovery or Qualcomm mode. You can then flash individual partitions or the entire phone. With alternatives to Android recovery such as TWRP you can then read the user data in many cases…
But many newer phones have locked bootloaders so that TWRP can't be flashed without a factory reset. So it doesn't just depend on the OS, but also on the individual model. Of course there are ways around from adapting the firmware to manipulating the flashing tools so that no checksums can be done. It just takes a lot of knowledge and time to try things out and that for each model from each manufacturer separately.
But again - theoretically you can always get your data, but this is usually very time-consuming. Deleting your own stuff and then getting rid of FRP isn't always entirely trivial.
Safety always has something to do with profitability! When someone breaks the law, they usually do so to earn something. If he then invested 30 hours in a 200 EUR cell phone, he would have 6.67 EUR / hour and would be better advised to work somewhere as a shelf operator or burger roaster because he would have 1 EUR / hour more, no worries about ending up in jail, vacation and Christmas bonuses as well as paid vacation and sick leave.
I think the P30 Pro is new for 500 EUR and if someone steals one, the bill, packaging, accessories and charging cable are missing. Used he can get 250-300 depending on the condition but he has to buy the accessories or steal them.
Now let's say he buys the accessories quickly, then has to reset and fix the cell phone and then sell, he invests a few EUR in tools and accessories and 1-2 hours to make 200 - 250 EUR. That would put us at 100 - 250 EUR / hour and that corresponds more to what you would risk a fine for.
