[Q] About forgot password (strange - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(sorry about my chinglish )
So here's how:I locked my nexus10 and forgot the password, and I do not see the "Forgotten" button on the screen and also I didn't turn USB debugging mode on, so is there any possibility I can save my data instead of cleaning them up? Thank you (btw, I deleted the original recover files(because I once booted Ubuntu Touch on it) how can I reset it anyway?) Tanks a lot

Don't think there's a way..
And you should be glad because if it was possible anyone could break into your device.
P.S.

yeah........I see, so how can I clean everything, the recovery is dead and I didn't turn the debugging mode on

Right from Google:
1.If your tablet is on, power it off.
2.Press and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down at the same time for several seconds. You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press Volume Down twice, until you see the option Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.
5.While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6.Use the Volume keys to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press Power to select it.
7.Scroll down to Yes - erase all user data and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

Fastboot
You can use Fastboot without USB Debugging enabled.
"To use fastboot, power off, then hold down the power button and both volume buttons. That will take you to the bootloader screen where you, or the toolkit, can do fastboot commands."
I've attached a CWM Recovery image for your device.
Place it somewhere on your computer and open the Terminal application on your computer. Run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery <image location>
Then you can backup /data using advanced backup, perform a factory reset, CREATE A FULL BACKUP, then restore /data using advanced restore.

Turn it off. When off, push vol up and vol down, and turn ir up. When Dell logo appears, release power button but continue pressing vol up and vol down. Then, you'll see a menu, and there is FACTORY RESET.

In reply to my question on factory reset you said 'Turn it off. When off, push vol up and vol down, and turn ir up.'
What do you mean by 'and turn ir up?'
He meant to say "turn it on".
Turn the Streak off.
While holding down the volume up and volume down buttons, press and hold the power button until the Dell logo appears.
Release the power button, but continue holding the volume buttons until Dell's recovery menu appears on the screen.
Using the volume buttons, select option 1, factory reset, then press the camera button.
Follow the instructions on the screen to reset.
Note: this this requires a stock recovery image to work. If the device has Streakmod Recovery or Clockworkmod, replace them with a stock recovery image before attempting to reset.

Stuck in bootloader mode

My friend thought that to change from android to webos he had to press the power button and volume up to enter moboot, but he enter to the bootloader mode (big usb connection icon). I tried to power it off and combine power button and volume to see if I can get out of this and nothing. The only solution is to wait for the charge to deplete?
EDIT: It turned off by it self this thread can be close.
just so you know for the future, holding the power button along with the center button for a few seconds does a soft reset even while stuck in recovery or while booted in webos.

i need help please

Bricked model XT916 not recognized via ABD but recognized by RSD Lite

Hello,
My xt916 bricked for no reason. It is not rooted. Do not respond to any commands such power, power + volume down, power + volume up. The only sign of life is when connected to charger or USB the back home and menu buttons on the bottom light in white.
Searching for solutions I tried to flash stock again with MTK-RSD Lite ver 6.1.6. Used rom XT916_2_26D_2014_A02_MP.mzf
The device appears as connected and enters download mode. The process completes and it shows PASS at the end.
However no sign of life afterwards. Same as before.
Tried to enter recovery mode or fastboot via ADB but when I type adb devices nothing is shown.

Thanks for the tip. Already tried this. The phone only lights up when connected by USB or charger. Whether is connected or disconnected (with battery only) it does not respond at all to any key combinations.
The only noticeable thing it is when connected by USB with RSD Lite software when I try power volume down the phone enters download mode and I can flash a rom.

[Q] Lineage OS / screen unlock not working / can't get to TWRP

Old LG G5 I had previously installed Lineage on. Was in a drawer until I decided to charge it up and let one of my kids play games on it. When I input the correct screen lock pattern, it goes black, then comes back to lock screen.
I am able to hold power button to then select power off, restart, etc. From power off, I power on and get the orange triangle recommending to lock the bootloader. But no combination of power and vol-down or power and vol-up will get me to TWRP. It just rolls right back in to Lineage.
Also, from power off, if I plug in to my Linux laptop, it will power on and go to fastboot.
Feels like USB debug got turned off and/or trust somehow got revoked, but I never had this laptop connected to it so probably doesn't matter. But like I said, my unlock pattern is working. I get different response with correct pattern versus incorrect.
I'm also able to see the phone from my https://google.com/android/devicemanager page. I tried to send a secure and erase thinking it might let me start from scratch, but I only see a notification that "Device Located" and it never does anything.
And finally, lsusb -v does see the phone, but adb devices never does.
My question is any idea how to get back to TWRP to wipe and push an updated image or even put an updated TWRP?
Try this ...
It's like getting into Stock Recovery. To get into TWRP Recovery using button combination (hard reset) you'll need to hold volume down button and power button simultaneously, releasing power button (temporarily) once LG logo appears then quickly pressing and holding power button again, all the while maintaining hold on volume down button. The stock recovery message (white background) will appear requiring you to select volume up/down button to continue to reset software (see attached image). If you select yes it will appear to factory reset but will actually boot into TWRP.
Hope that helps!
