[Q] Reset usercode (not pattern reset) WITHOUT losing any info?

Got a friend at work, and his kid managed to enter a usercode onto his SGS2. It´s his businesses phone with LOADS of meetings/notes/sms´s/photes (all on the phone, nothing saved to SD :/ )etc etc and he want to get his info back if possible.
USB debugging is NOT turned on.
vol+,home,power gets puts you on a enter password screen.
vol-,home,power puts you in download mode.
Is there anything that can be flashed via ODIN to get rid of the usercode WITHOUT loosing any info?
Just them him to take it into a Samsung service center proof of ownership may well be needed.
As i work in a phone/tv store we send in ~5-10/phones each day to service centers.
Not one time have the phone been "unlocked/reset" without it coming back factory reset
I´ll tell him to leave it be until monday, and if there´s no other way then flashing, well, suck for him....

Read in another thread to try a bunch of wrong passwords until it asks for a PUK then use that to unlock it (Call carrier for PUK)
Tell your "friend" to ask his "kid" for the code.
Does he have a backup of his EFS? If so you can flash via Odin any xxxEFSxxx.tar file and it will allow access to the phone, you can then backup whats needed and then restore the original EFS.

The kid is 3 years old, and his name is Emil. Just think for a second, if the phone where stolen or ill gotten, why go through this trouble?! The meetings, calander etc can be restored (with pain) but the photos etc cant be replaced! And as i do this, send phones to service, on a daylie basis i want to explorer any other options first as it will likely be wiped when it is returned!

Nothing saved on his part. Got NSPRO, z3x and SGTool and tried everything that i could think of with these tools, but as usb debbuging is off no codes could be read...
Thanks for the input, i´ll guess it will be a hail mary pass to send it in to Anovo, as the biggest servicecenter is called in Sweden.
What is a "usercode" to begin with if it's not the Pattern/PIN/Password lock?
Overcomming the Pattern/PIN/Password lock is rather easy, as Odia suggested, but you even can do it with custom kernel via root ADB in recovery, don't even need to flash a stock EFS, just delete all cryptoprop* files.

THAT sounds like the device encryption is enabled.
If that is really the case, there is nothing you can do without the password, as if you do the above, the password will be gone, but so is all the data as it can't be decrypted anymore.
0000 is always worth a try .

Thanks for the info.
The phone was setup by a former IT guy at the company he works at. That would explain why it is encrypted, as my friend is not very tech savvy.
Unfortunately the guy now works abroad and they have not been able to reach him, and i guess that servicecenters wont reset it with content remaining to avoid potential problems with info coming into the wrong hands.
Thanks all for the replies!
It's impossible to reset it without loosing/wiping the data when not knowing the password - that's the idea when encrypting it
Has nothing to do with service centers "not wanting", it's just technically not possible.

Google account problem with new phone

Hi guy my mum recently purchased the samsung j3 off a private seller, it is unlocked only problem is upon booting the phone it asks for the original owners google account to get past the set up phase? We contacted the original owner but refusing to help us out. Was wondering what my options are as ive never seen this issue before.

Okay, I would recommend taking a look at this video here! If that doesn't work you can always use Odin to re-flash the phones factory firmware. Let me know if you still have questions !

problems with google

I bought a pre-owned swift2. The previous owner had a google account which he told me he had removed the phone from his account, but when I try to set the phone up it wants me to use a previously synced account and wont let mr do anything else or let me see any other screens. I have done a hard reset but no difference. can anyone help please.
so you can't get to do a factory reset? whenever i've had a new phone it asks to use a google account, copy from another phone or skip and start fresh. you don't have that option?
ask the previous owner to take the phone off his google account. if he still has it in his name it might cause problems.

I have done a hard reset then try to set up the phone by trying both copy data and set up as new ( I don't have a skip option on this screen) when I enter my details I get a message saying unable to sign in to the device due to an unknown error try another
e mail or try again in 24 hours. Do you think I am doing something wrong?
i'm not sure if it's your fault or not. possibly the original owner not cleared the phone, possibly the phone not done a factory reset. try to get into recovery mode to do a factory reset.

Thank you for this option. I am a complete novice to doing anything to the software on a phone so I am going to ask a silly question. Is this easy to do ?

Zte blade z max z982

I have a ZTE blade z max phone that I got out of storage. I always keep my broken tech just incase. and sure enough I have a court date coming up and the information on this phone is my only hope.
This phone has a password that you have to enter before the phone fully boots. Can anyone point me in the direction of a method for a bypass that may work. I saw a post for methods that worked for people who's phones are fully booted but they cant remember their patterns or passwords. those methods are a bit out of my reach unless i've done something wrong. the phone hasn't be on since april-june of 2018 not sure if that would help any. Its also connected to my google account but the phone has no service and the wifi command is of no use cause i have a new ISP
Please help. I just wanna get this case out of my hair.

I just recently began looking into twrp because there have been new root methods for the previous model to this phone in which i wanted to root. never got around to it. if this phone doesn't have twrp would it be possible to do so from the recover menu, (Power button + up volume)

If you factory restore the device your data partion and internal storage partion will be wiped and it more then I likely trigger that Google reactivation lock and you would have to put the last Google email used with the phone and password to start the setup process if you did a factory restore in twrrp you wouldn't lose your data cause unlike stock factory restore it just wipes the data partion and not internal storage partion

Question Nokia 5.4 asked for pattern password that was never set up

Just encountered a big problem where my nokia 5.4 asked for a pattern password that was never set up. I'm no longer be able to unlock my phone. Not sure if it was hacked with virus. I'm prepared to wiped all data and tried attempting a factory reset but in vain. I'm not able to go to recovery mode and the screen just displayed the robot icon and says "no commands".
Anyone can help, please? thanks
