Hi at all!
After yesterdays update over WiFi (don't know which exactly, but I think it's MiUI8 6.9.8) my Redmi Note 3 (Qualcomm, 32GB) wouldn't let me unlock the device neither with fingerprint nor pattern. Before I updated it was normally unlocking. Normally I use fingerprint, so at first I thought i forgot the pattern, but after several attempts the phone went into lock mode. I am 99% sure I know the right pattern, but it won't unlock.
I already read this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-5684-1-1.html and tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMAPEhH5z-8
But I have still several problems:
- USB debugging not enabled
- no recovery installed
- no root or open bootloader or anything like that
- no backup of all photos, which are on the phone itself and not on the SD card (I just came back from holidays)
- no cloud or similar backup
- Mi Pc Suite does not detect phone
- Google Device Manager states "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won't be needed." if I try the send a new lockscreen.
This method (with flash afterwards) could help me, I guess, but I still would loose everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
I have absolutely no idea how i can unlock my phone without loosing any data (especially the photos).
Please if anyone has an Idea, help me!
Same happened to me so I restored my backup, once the restore had finished I removed the finger print and pin number (I had read about this on the xiaomi Forum). Then did the update again and this time it was OK
sounds easy, how did you restore the backup?
Before restoring any backup, I suggest you hard restart your phone. long press the power button.
but if I make a Hard Reset I will loss everything on the phone.
Is there maybe a possibility to insert some sort of file or command via EDL mode, that USB debbuging will be enabled? http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
No not the hard reset. I was talking about hard restart. The phone will just restart.
ahh I see, sorry my fault.
But nonetheless I din't made any backup ever with this phone.
same problem here
my phone redmi note 3(qualcomm 32gb) is also locked just yesterday ! it shows try again after 120 minutes and after the time completed it shows pattern and it will be locked again and shows the same dialouge after trying my correct password ! actually we shoud get forgot password option behind the emergency option ! please do give a reply to me if you find any solution it means a lot to me !
Well I am afraid I can't help you either... after searching for 2 days I found no solution and flashed my phone. so all data was lost...

Hoping someone can help because my phone is completely unusable. I was in work yesterday and decided to restart my phone because the battery was draining and I didn't have a USB-C cable. It got to the "enter PIN" screen, and the PIN I've always used was invalid. I'm pretty sure I never changed my PIN, but I've used 15 of 30 guesses trying any number that I might have changed it to, and none work. I usually unlock my phone with my finger print, but that isn't possible because this isn't the standard unlock screen, it's the screen before the phone even fully boots up. It's not connected to the internet yet so I can't reset it via Google and there's no "forgot PIN" option.
To further complicate things, the power button on my phone doesn't work (though the finger print sensor still does.) The phone was in my pocket and got moist from sweat on a hot day, and hasn't worked since. So I'm not even able to get into recovery mode. I can turn the phone on by holding volume-down and connecting then disconnecting the charger. I can also get into "download mode" to flash firmware by doing the same thing holding volume-up.
I have my camera photos backed up, but nothing in my downloads directory is saved, nor any pictures received in text messages. I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff that's not backed up too. I hadn't enabled encryption. Is there any way to transfer files off my phone? I'm assuming no, especially since even "adb" doesn't see the phone in either download mode or the PIN entry screen. USB debugging was enabled, but it seems like it's only connecting in "charge only" mode.
I'm not even sure how to get the phone working again, even if I have to wipe it. Should I try flashing a stock ROM (it's not rooted or un-bootlocked)? What happens when I enter the invalid PIN 30 times?
Thanks for any help.
Edit: If it helps, it's the AT&T model, H820
think you must reflash the Rom with fatory reset option. not the best, but you have a usable devive again. Bad you cant root the device and delete just the two *.key files

What happens after 30th attempt to unlock Secure Boot?
I have forgotten the unlock pattern for my G5, which has been sitting in a drawer for the last couple of months.
What happens when I fail to correctly enter the unlock pattern for the 30th time? Will it clear the data and reset itself, if so, no biggy, or will it turn itself into a brick, which would be a biggy?
Regards,

It clears all data and factory resets itself. The only other thing is that you need the password for the Google account it was associated with, in order to use it after it resets. I think it's to prevent phone theft. I remember hearing you shouldn't try to change your Google password within ~3 days of resetting the device either, because it might not work.
Note that if it's the actual screen lock pattern you forgot instead of the startup/boot PIN, you can probably just reset it through Google's Android Device Manager website.
LG G5 SE H840 stuck on secure startup
Hi everyone.
I've tried to flash TWRP on my phone using fastboot and it seems to have worked, but when I reboot, my phone is asking for a secure startup code.
I don't have it because I don't remember setting one up... Each reboot uses 2 of the 30 try allowed and now I'm at 12 left.
I tried default_password, and some other things... not working.
I tried fastboot -w to do a factory reset, but it doesn't want to write "userdata" : "cannot flash this partition in unlocked state"...
Code:
Created filesystem with 11/32000 inodes and 4110/128000 blocks
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 0.609s]
sending 'userdata' (138917 KB)...
OKAY [ 4.361s]
writing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in unlocked state)
finished. total time: 4.989s
For what it's worth : I'm french and the secure startup is in french... Is it because the initial stock rom that I used is still behind whit my settings ? Factory reset should have brought me back to English at least ?
Any help please ?
New problem, new thread.
I remember that I set a secure startup pin in my Lenovo TB3- x70L . But when I typed the pin the tab displayed incorrect pin . So I restarted it a black display appeared to enter the pin.
I tried many times typing the pin what I set . It shows all are incorrect pin . And after many attempts it says "your tab will be wiped after 7 attempts with incorrect pin".
My debugging is off ,OEM is off.(Initially).
But I some how activated debugging.
Pls help me guys if you can.
Same issue
Have you guys ever solved this issue? I am facing the same with my LG G5...
Hey i have a lg aristo 2 and forgot my lockscreen passcode i have tried multiple tips off the web and me and my fiance are both logged into her google account what can i do to get into my phone....
Lg vs087 g5
Had the same problem....Secure boot enter pin. After exceeding the 10 attempts it factory reset itself and went into setup.
I have the exact issue also on my LG G5 H830. it recognizes my fingerprint but the pin ive been using for years says its wrong pattern. I can only unlock my device with my fingerprint. f**king weird.
Hello guys,
first of all sorry for the dummy question, but I don't know how I can solve this problem. so...
I have changed the pattern sequence of my phone with a complicated one. when doing that, I saved a screenshot of the sequence but, instead to put it to the sd card as a though, the phone saved it on the internal memory (damn!).
After some days my phone has been restarted and now is asking for the pattern that I have forgot because I used to unlock it for days via the damn fingerprint!
I tried via google to unlock the phone with no luck.
There is no developer mode active on the phone, and when I connect an usb cable I can't put it to usb mode because it asks to put the unlock sequence.
Is there a way to unlock the phone or a way to get the screenshot from the internal memory? obviously I want to avoid to hard reset and lost everything.
I think hard resetting from recovery menu is the best possible option. I don't think there is a way to bypass the security honestly. I'm sorry but I think that resetting is the best option here
if you could bypass the pattern there wouldnt be any point to having the pattern in the first place. everything on your phone is encrypted. the pattern is the encryption key. just ask the fbi how upset they were about this.
Hi ! Today i bought my Pocophone F1 and updated it to MIUI 10. Created MI account, entered my google account and downloaded Android 9 update. After the installation of the update i no longer can pass the first settings screen. There is a Confirm your password section where the keyboard is only numerical and cant enter any of my passwords cause they all contain letters. I cannot install another ROM because my bootloader is locked and cannot unlock it from this state. I can access all of my accounts from computer, just dont know what is this only numerical password ... Would be glad if anyone can help !
Hi, I have exactly the same problem and conditions. Today I got the smartphone, registered on the page, updated with:
miui_POCOF1Global_8.11.29_14c6931f61_9.0.zip.
(MIUI10/choose lang/chose your region/connect to network/terms and c./checking for updates/copy apps&data(skiped)/checking info/confirm your passsword)
Wipe data did not help.
I've been desperate for hours. Please help

Its seems is somehow google account related. Managed to flash the same ROM (cause its the only one i can flash with locked bootloader) with XiaomiADB and MI account dissapeared, but only Google one left. It let you go without wifi connection to the end but just when you press the last button to go to the homepage it says you cannot because there is a google profile here and Couldnt been able to bypass it cause all the techniques dont work here, like for example the talkback gesture and SSID copy stuff. Tried even to remove my device from my google profile, but with no luck for the moment ...

I suspect more likely a numeric password, which would have to be connected to Xiaomi-account.(it's google)
When I turn off the wi-fi I get a message that the phone is assigned to a Xiaomi-account with the number xyz (account number is not this asked password) which can not be checked.
Ive send the device back to the seller. Actualy i contacted Xiaomi global support, but the bad news is they cannot understand the problem i have with the device, despite the description i gave them. I wrote them if the seller cannot fix it and decline to send a new device to give them IMEI and Mi account to unlock the bootloader since i cannot access the device. I doubt instaling official rom void warranty. We will see tomorrow.
Have someone any idea?
To try to remedy to this you might want to follow these steps. Do it in quick succession.
1. Press Power Button and Vol Down simultaneously to force shut down the device.
2. When the screen switches off quickly press Power Button and Vol Up, this will give you access to Recovery Mode
3. From there, you need to wipe your data (factory reset)
Here you use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select.
I don't know of any other way for your situation.
Hi I've the same solution there is the solution
Download on your pc the fastboot rom
http://en.miui.com/thread-3943816-1-1.html
Based on oreo
Start your phone in fastboot mod (pow + vol down)
Launch mi flash

Flash it
Bootloader locked? Not a problem launch mi flash and click on unlock
Enjoy you're phone is now alive
(I've found this myself and it working)

i had a similar problem after unlocking the bootloader, i had to log in to my mi account which gave me a normal keyboard but to then go online i had to enter my wifi password which gave me no keyboard at all.
i used a usb keyboard with an otg adapter to circumvent the issue, worked fine but shame on xiaomi for such a bad software...
From last 7 days I'm unable to use my phone as it won't unlock despite entering correct pattern. I even entered recovery mode & bingo it accepted the pattern. I don't want to wipe data for no fault of mine. Realme kindly help. I can't even enable USB debugging or else i would've tried to retrieve my data. Google find my phone is useless as no option to change password. Why should I suffer & be forced to lose my documents, camera photos, 2fas due to no fault? Please help.
Hello,
I have a realme 7 pro and this morning, after I turned it on, I entered the required password after rebooting and it rejected it.
The last time I used the phone was yesterday and I neither changed the password (it has been the same for months), nor did update.
How on earth is this possible?
I have never modified the system files since I bought the phone (no modding) and the bootloader is still locked (that's why I think I can't access the fast boot mode).
I can only access engineering mode and recovery mode.
Thank you in advance for your help.

That's strange. Phone rejects the password even if it entered correctly if someone has tried to enter the password incorrectly earlier without your knowldge.
Please allow some time and then enter it again.

First of all, thank you for your reply!
I wasn't aware of this defense mechanism of smartphones, however to my knowledge no one has tried to access my phone by mistaking the password...
In any case, I will wait 24 hours without making any further attempts and then try again to enter it
I just tried again but nothing.
To your knowledge is there any company that performs such unlocks? I am only interested in recovering the data which is very important, otherwise I would have formatted it....

There are a few problems with such requests:
They often come from people with stolen devices (knowingly or not, no judgements here)
It's borderline illegal, which contests our 'do not get us in trouble' rule
There's often payment involved with such services (and rarely any guarantees), also against our rules
You'll find several "tools" to "help you" but they are often bundled with malicious software
In short, though we do support some good old exploit sparring, the topic resides in a dark corner. Nonetheless it's good to ask around, perhaps there's other people with the same problem (2 years after release, unlikely) or someone has heard of a rare bug related to the matter.
IMHO your best bet would be getting in touch with Realme (find them here). Definitely keep us updated if you do!
I also have this Realme 7 Pro (issue/bug? IDK) since January 11, 2023
I have set face recognition but useless after rebooting phone.
In Realme UI recovery mode v1.2, before using any commands like
1. Install from storage
2. Online update
3. Wipe data
Phone asks for lockscreen password FIRST. Even PIN is what I set.
Also I need to recover my data first before doing ALL Methods to gain access again.
Please help us.
Edit: I just add more details about mine.
RMX2170
Android 11
non rooted, I dont have plan to modify first.
That's why I did not enable "USB Debugging" before I encountered this "lockscreen PIN problem". Which is I need right now to establish connection between android & pc.
(Forgot password is also useless they just recommend to bring this to Service Center to factory reset but, goodbye files.)

Unfortunately, I am also in this situation, I can basically only use *#899#
For now, I contacted Realme who referred me to a local shop. I have contacted them but am still waiting for a response. I have a hunch that we will lose the data....
If the device is encrypted, you can not access data without unlock. Maybe Realme have something they can flash to EDL to unlock the phone and access data….
