Hello friends , I am that stupid who is locked out of my phone for last 20 hours. Apparently I attempted to unlock my phone with wrong finger, and now it's stuck on PIN unlock, which i don remember because I never really used it. Here's the detailes:
I want to recover some data, before factory reset.
Device Name: Le2 X526
(only integrated memory, no sd card)
Device state:
Fully Functional
USB Debugging - OFF
Bootlocker Unlocked
Fastboot Mode enabled
I have a valid fingerprint (if it can be used to unlock somehow)
Full access to my Google ID of my phone..
Methods tried so far:
- Web google interface to lock out phone, does not replace PIN password of my phone.
-No forgot password button after repeated attempts
-Cannot flash anything from pc, cause no usb debbuging.
Some hope from methods, Please help on these:
-In Recovery mode, i can flash a zip named update.zip from usb otg.
Please elaborate?
-Any method to reset back to fingerprint. After battery drain? Internet cut off? Anything?
-Recovering data after factory reset.
I have spent many hours into it. Will appreciate any help.
Peace
Any help?:highfive:
Which Recovery? TWRP or stock recovery? if u have twrp just go to File Manager - data/system/password.key delete this file and reboot ,now enter any random password and unlock ur phone
Where did you store your data? Because if you used an SD card, you can just take it off and insert it into a card reader.

if adb isnt enabled then there is no point trying anything aside resetting your device.
however if you have recovery installed then enter recovery and do a data wipe which is the best you can do ( im not sure about TWRP and ADB but CWM and ADB im somewhat certain it doesnt work)
I'm gonna close this one, as it's a duplicate of THIS thread.

How To Remove Pattern Lock Without Data Loss
Have You Forgot Your Android Phone pattern lock and searching for a genuine method To Remove Lock from your device Without data loss?
There are lot’s of Article about Removing Pattern Lock over the internet but you have risk of losing your data, but not to worry now, Today I will to share an ultimate method on How To Remove Pattern Lock Without Data Loss
So before we start ,We need To understand how Pattern lock works and how can we crack it,..
So there is a file in our mobile’s System storage which Constance the pattern lock,Simply if we Remove/delete that file we can Unlock our Phone without data loss.
So Let’s Start Cracking The Pattern Lock-
There are many Ways to Crack The pattern lock….
Remove Pattern Lock When ADB is on-
First you need to check is there ADB (android debugging bridge) option enabled in phone or not. For checking it You need to connect your phone to pc with usb cable after connecting if you able to see a android icon on your mobile phone status bar that means ADB is enable in your phone and you can Easily Remove your pattern lock
If ADB option is not ON in Your phone Don’t be sad There is another way to crack it in the next part of this article.
So after you have checked and confirmed that ADB is enabled in Your phone Follow these steps to REMOVE YOUR PATTERN LOCK-
Download the driver and android multi tool from Here-
Install the driver and connect your phone via usb cable.
Open android multi tool You will see something like this.
Press 2 for removing PIN LOCK and 3 for PATTERN LOCK then press ENTER.
After pressing ENTER it will reboot Your phone and voila You have successfully removed your PIN or Pattern Lock.
If You seeing LOCK again Don’t be panic enter random(koi bhi) pattern/pin and it will unlock ,don’t forgot to remove pattern lock permanently from setting.
How To REMOVE PATTERN LOCK IF ADB IS NOT ENABLE-
Cracking Pattern lock without adb is little Tricky and difficult,For Removing Pattern Lock We are going to use “AROMA FILE MANAGER”.
Aroma file manager is a file manager that can directly executed From CWM Recovery(Custom Recovery),And we can delete Password file from Mobile, to unlock our phone. So We need to install CWM recovery in our mobile phone for running Aroma file manager but unfortunately all devices have their different method to install it, which is based on their CPU type. So before proceeding further You need to install CWM recovery in your phone ,just google it “How to install CWM recovery in ‘your mobile name’ ” .
Tip-If You have SAMSUNG mobile you can install recovery from ODIN TOOL ,simply download CWM recovery image for your device and flash it.
if You have MEDIATEK/MTK CPU based mobile you can flash recovery with the help of “SP FLASH TOOL”,
After Installing CWM Recovery in your smart phone download AROMA FILE MANAGER from here.
Now follow the steps below -
Download aroma file manager from here
Paste AROMAFILEMANAGER.zip in root of your micro sd-card.(Do not unzip the file).
Insert Micro-sd card in your device.
Reboot it to CWM Recovery by pressing volume down+power key.
go to mount and storage and mount all partitions.( use vol +/- key for up and down and Power key for select).
Come back in main menu.
Choose Install zip from sd card–>choose zip from sd card–>select aromafilemanager.zip–> Yes-install aromafilemanager.zip
After Selecting “Yes” the aroma file manager will run and you will see something like this-
now go in DATA/SYSTEM and delete “gesture.key”(if u have pattern lock) or delete “password.key”(if you have pin lock).
That’s it Now just reboot your Phone and Enter some random pin or pattern to unlock your phone.
Hope You Enjoy My First Post,If you Face Any Problem or did not able to install CWM recovery in your phone just comment your device model I will help you.
Thanks??

Hello,
I have Samsung A5 2017, my cell has virus attack and every minute it restart automatically, all things are stocks so not able to reflash,reset device
is there any way usb debugging enabled from recovery/download mode ?
Not adb, but hold volume down while the phone is starting. A watermark will appear, "Safe Mode", the "virus", if not a root exploit, will not load and you could uninstall it. Also remove it from the device administrators & accessibility settings. If it doesn't work, hold volume up. If it doesn't work, press and hold the menu/recents key when the "SAMSUNG" logo and the brightness changes.

If you know your Google account details and you don't mind losing all your data reset your device.
It's unlikely it has compromised the system partition unless you were rooted.
If you were rooted then you may as well just wipe data with twrp.
Failing that reinstall the stock firmware.
nothing worked, i think virus at boot level, because can able to enter stock recovery, after factory reset result is same, tried with safe mode, but not work, not able to connect internet and reset device because it turn only 50 Seconds and rebooted, if i tried with odin than got error - FRP Lock, i also tried google device reset from web but it required internet connection on phone , so this option also not worked

If you have installed the correct firmware with odin and factory reset and your device still has issues then your problem is not related to a virus. More likely a hardware issue.

May be, but when i tried to install Custom Recovery CWM, TWRP it gaves message - custom binary blocked by frp lock
If i tried same firmware - then stuck without any reason - log say - recovery.img cancelled
why i think this is virus because i enabled usb debug and after auto reboot again its shows disabled , even i change wallpaper and reboot its showing same old wallpaper, means anything i do after 50 seconds revert back as it is, one kind device is locked

You can't install anything custom until OEM UNLOCK is enabled in settings.
Install the stock firmware with odin then factory reset in stock recovery.
You will need to enter your Google account details once the device has fully booted to disable FRP.

Yes, i tried , but not successes, after complete reboot i get 50 Seconds only, in this time period i can only enable usb debug, but when i enabled OEM unlock option, its automatically turn off without any error, and device reboot, so neither able to uninstall anything nor accessing via adb because 50 seconds its too less
even i connect with pc and try to format phone memory , after reboot all deleted file again available, even renamed files back to with same name

Forget about USB debugging it's not going to help you right now. I would try enabling OEM UNLOCK and then immediately power down the device BEFORE it reboots.

Hello,
Just to put in case, currently I have a Xiaomi Mi8 Lite, Global ROM, Globad version (or at least that was described in Amazon) for a few weeks only. Last Saturday I received a notification on the new OTA MIUI update to version 10.3.1.0. I installed it in a normal way, it rebooted and then the Mi Recovery 3.0 menu popped up, with only 3 options: Reboot system (which takes takes you back to the same menu), Wipe Data and connect to Mi Assistant (which doesnt' work when connecting to PC). Appart from this, I have access to Fastboot by Vol- + Power button.
I have guarantee and I will return it back, so that doesn't worry me, the biggest problem is all the data I have there. I didn't have any back-up of my information/photos... nor uploaded in the cloud, and I really need to get them back.
I have tried to access through adb and get them via pull, but unfortunately I had not activated USB debug mode. Moreover, I can't install TWRP as the bootloader is locked, and if I want to open it, it will wipe all data.
To sum up, I have no USB debug enable, bootloader is locked and I want to save the data, anyone knows if there's a way to do it? Would it be possible to activate USB debugging via adb/fastboot somehow while on recovery?
Sorry if anything's unclear, and thanks in advance for any help!

up!
1. Hi , us I know that is not posible when USB debugging is not active !
2. If you are thinking about unlocking bootloader that will wipe all your data!
3. For problem that your device is stuck on recovery maybe bacause you updated your device with low that 40% and it is suck some way.
I should try in your place just to flash boot.img from 10.3.1.0 with fastboot and see if your device is boot up , so just to boot normaly to backup your data and after that do factory reset but remove all accounts !!! After that put your phone on charger and make sure your battery is fully charged, and then flash full stock firmware and again wipe data and do factory reset.
Download stock firmware from here:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.1.0.PDTMIXM/miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V10.3.1.0.PDTMIXM_8f2efd3fd2_9.0.zip
Extract just boot.img and logo.img from (firmware upgrade folder) .
Do at your own risk ! ( I'm not responsible if you somehow lost your data!)
I face the same problem, the phone started to stuck in a bootloop overnight
Even if I try to enter to Fastboot it will reload in 2 sec
Any idea what to try? (it's stock, bootloader not opened, USB debugging is switched off)
I have an Android device supplied by my government for students and secured by Samsung Knox. However & unfortunately, I forgot the security pattern of the device and I want to hard reset it to access it again. But Knox prevents factory reset by all the ways :/
I have tried entering the pattern in a wrong way 20+ times but it still refuses to achieve a factory reset. I have also tried booting into Android recovery but the factory reset option says MDM disallows factory reset.
Also Google's Find My Device can't even detect the device so I can't reset it using Google's Find My Device. And developer options are disabled by Knox too so I can't do it using adb
I know that I have made it complex but its the truth and I was wondering if someone knows any way or PC tool to hard reset without USB debugging, or a PC tool that can enable USB debugging.
I don't want to flash ROMs because they will erase Knox which I shouldn't erase :/
Any help would be appreciated.
hard reset of a device with secure knox
I have exactly the same problem.
Can you share the solution if you found one?
Thanks.

I can enter "safe mode" but even there the tablet ask me for the password I haven't got in order to switch off the flight mode that prevents any attempt to locate the smartphone from the Samsung remote service.
Secured Knox prevents hard reset.
No password + flight mode on => Do I throw an almost new device to the bin?
There should be a way, I cannot imagine there is not way around this.

Odin mode is disabled by administrator
I don't know how could it be possible
so when pressing power button, volume down and home all together (samsung galaxy tab A sm-t585)
the device is ignoring me completely and boot normally into android
I need to flash another official firmware.
pleeeeeeease , can anyone give me a working method to flash that firmware.
Thanx in advance
you are forced to go to a samsung outlet to apply for a warranty
Anyone find a solution to this?
Update for posterity. I did find a way around this. You essentially have to re-flash your device - which isn't difficult, but it will result in losing all data on the device.
1. Enter download mode by holding vol+, vol- & power keys while plugging in your phone via USB to your computer (windows machines only). This must be done from a powered off status.
2. Download Odin
3. Download OEM firmware for your device (Samfirm or Firja tools can help with this)
4. Download Samsung USB drivers
5. With all of these tools and with your firmware obtained, go into download mode and flash your device.
6. Once complete, the device will format itself (you will lose all data) and boot into initial configuration mode where you can set up you device as if it were new.

This procedure didn't work for me.
In order to factory reset, before flashing the stock firmware/ROM, I had to flash the TWRP and wipe everything.
Followed this procedure for my galaxy tab:
[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.3.0 for Galaxy Tab 4 8 inch
Support is discontinued. Between the 6 different variants that I made this recovery for, it has been downloaded less than 500 times total over a 2 month period. That tells me that this device is simply not popular enough for continued support...
forum.xda-developers.com
It worked fine. Once wiped through recovery TWRP, I flashed the stock ROM and everything was fine and factory reset.
Unfortunately before starting I tried an auto root procedure but Knox recognized and locked everything (so the counter now is 0x1).

You can get to Odin mode with knox. Message me back and I’ll explain. You basically trick the device. Does it have removable battery?
I’ve done it on dozens of Xcover pro devices.

The first recommendation did not work for me, too. After the tab reboots, it says its installing the updates but up to 32% only, then it erases, then it goes back to the same problem.
Tried your quoted solution. However, upon installing twrp, it says it cant install because of frp lock. How do i go about it? Please help....
