I apologize in advance if I'm missing something or if I'm not in the right place, but I'm at a loss at the moment.
I have a Motorola E2 that I've forgotten the password to (It's been lying in my closet for a year). It's got the "No Command" recovery error(Probably from a one-click root I tried then forgot about). Therefore, I have no way of enabling USB debugging or unlocking the bootloader. Is there anyway I can get the recovery mode back without a password
If there's any more information I need to give, just say so and I'll provide it. Thanks in advance.

This is a problem, and it's doing my nut. I have a Vodafone Smart Mini 7, which I desperately want to root, to get all of Google's bloatware and the stuff the original network provider put on it.
I've already unlocked it to all networks, but the bootloader is being a PITA. I've done the usual with adb and fastboot, namely put it into USB Debugging, and then done this;
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot getvar all
When I get to the section on the bootloader, it advises me that it's Secure.
I tried to use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and when I confirm on the phone that I want to unlock it, I get told that Remote Unlock is not allowed.
I assume that the fact that fastboot getvar all says that the bootloader is secure, means I need some sort of key to get it off. My old network provider don't know where to get it from, my tech team don't know where to get it from and I'm screwed.
Anyone got any ideas on whether I can get round the "secure" part of this, like some way of finding the key for it? Thanks

I have the exact same issue I read some threads and nothing solid has come out of it some say they managed to get root but others say they bricked the phone
Any news on this topic? I too have one i desperately would like to root because it is permanently full and you cant do anything wih it. The Google apps and the apps installed by my service provider take up all the onboard storage space. I downloaded only Whatsapp and Facebook Lite and bam,the phone is completely full and useless as it cant do updates,runs extremely slow and does all sorts of random stuff like restarting on its own etc. driving me utterly insane.
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.
Hello,
I am really dumb and changed my phone pattern yesterday for one that i found fancy on the moment trying out different pattern. Well i forgot it.
I have a One Plus 6t and it's stock rom and locked bootloader, it does have secure boot enabled and it's encrypted.
Is there a way to unlock the phone without wiping data ?
I have access to my computer, the phone have adb enabled and the computer is administrator for the phone.
I can't have access to anything because i did restart it and now it doesn't unlock since it's encrypted.
Anyone have been in the same situation and found a workarround ?
I have some really important data inside that phone that are stored nowhere else.
Thanks
Note:
Connecting to PC and launching adb, it seems like it does take the command, is there anything i can do from there ?
lot of permission denied and 'adb locksettings' doesn't work
If there was a way to access the data without the password/pin/pattern, that would defeat the whole purpose of secure bootloader and encryption.
So no, there is no known way of doing this.
Like the title says, my father just passed and we're locked out of his phone.
Don't want to factory reset the phone because all of his accounts are on there in apps and we're not able to figure out if we missed anything. Worried about upcoming bills and then any stocks or trades he did only in apps.
Currently the phone is requiring a pattern unlock and I've unsuccessfully been able to guess it so it kind of locked us out of doing anything. Can't even power off or reset it.
It's also saying "unlock the phone to use fingerprints." Does that mean even if we were to somehow guess the pattern would we still need the fingerprint to open the phone?
Is there a way we can bypass any of this? I looked into some programs and downloaded them but they all said they would erase the data if we removed the pattern unlock.
I have access to his Gmail via a tablet that we knew the pin code for but haven't been able to reset the password just yet. Not sure if having the google account password available will help us unlock the phone or not?
Any help or links to tutorials would greatly be appreciated.
By sheer luck I was able to guess the swipe unlock pattern so the phone is now unlocked for me. Mods can delete this thread if they want.
I am working on a phone for someone that had a heart attack and as a result has forgotten his pin code on his phone. I know I can factory reset but I'm trying to find a way to get back into the phone to recover all his data. I can get into download mode so I was wondering if there is any kind of firmware hack that can be installed in order to just ignore pin altogether. I don't think the data is encrypted. We have been able to recover his gmail account but the lock screen never shows a "forgot your pin?" I tried using find my phone but it says it can locate the phone but that find my phone isn't running. Any help would be really appreciated.

As far as I know, even with those enabled you can't bypass login pin code. If that was the case, you could take anyone's phone, factory reset it, and use it.
? I thought that was kinda the whole point of the existence of XDA. I've already found that Dr. Fone can factory reset and take over a phone. There must be something that can be done in download mode.
