Locked out of Samsung S4 Mini - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Verizon SCH-I435 gx4 mini and I forgot my pin. Android device manager can't help me put it into lost mode and over ride screen lock. The interesting part is when I boot into recovery and go to factory data restore as a last option it says it's in display mode (MTM). The phone boots into Odin mode just fine. On all my phone I always turn on USB debugging which I believe if you have a pc you need to enable to use Odin correct me if I'm wrong. So if there's a way to keep my files safe and use my phone again it would be appreciated.

Let's make Points
1-Odin Doesn't require any USB-Authentication such as Debugging Enabled
2-Only adb Requires Debugging
3-Great Thing you enabled it.
Now you can Apply two ways.
One you can boot into recovery and go into adb.Now on PC install adb and connect it to your phone(Go read a Tuto or watch a Video on how to do it)Now remove the locksettings.db file from /data partition(Use google to find the exact location)
Or you can pull the locksetting.db copy to your PC and crack the code using hashcat.But I recommend the first one.Next Time be cautious and if you don't know how to delete files using adb go read how to.

Access Samsung A310F with broken screen over PC

Hello,
I broke my phone screen (cant see anything) but I can still hear sounds from the phone.
I tried to access it over ADB, but unfortunately it says unauthorized. I also tried booting into recovery and sending the RSA keys over adb but the phone isn't rooted so that also isn't working.
It's running Android 7.0
Is there any way to remotely access my phone? I need the Google Authenticator database or I need to be able to use it one last time over the PC or whatever.

Yes , is possible by simple enabling ADB on your device .
To Enable , you need to flash your phone with Odin with ADB enabled file .
1. Odin https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip
2. ADB Enabled flash file https://files.fm/u/c33vbbkf
Instruction
1. Make sure your phone is OFF
2. Put your phone in Download mode by pressing all together Vol - & Home button & Power key]
3. Connect your phone with USB and plug in PC
4.Open Odin , click on AP , choose ADB enabled file and click on Start.
Now , wait until is flashing finished and you should be able to access to your phone storage : )
Good Luck
ADB is already enabled, its just that it says "unauthorized" when I try to access it over my PC

The attached Samsung 300k file gives a CRC error when extracted. also its an exe and doesnt run on Windows 10. Is there an equivalent file that will allow my samsung galaxy T4 (sm-231 v4.4.2 Kitkat) to enter download mode? Its home key is not working right now. Using ADB i am able to enter Manual mode, but not Download mode! So ODIN does not recognize it ( ID:COM is not highlighted). I have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers.
any help will be most appreciated.

When the phone is booted up normally and the way you would normally use it, when you connect your phone and open ODIN, does it still not pick up the phone on the COM port?
And (I'm sure you do), do you have USB debugging turned on and all the other usual things (like you mentioned, having installed the latest drivers)?

yes, i finally used "adb reboot download" to boot into download mode. Now when i am using ODIN and trying to root my cell by installing TWRP 3.2.1-0-degas.img.tar, it says PASS (success 1/fail 0), but my mobile still shows "DOWNLOADING..." with a horizontal blue line. I can also reboot and load normally, but it seems TWRP has not got installed and still ROOTCHECKER says my mobile is not rooted. Am i using the wrong versions of TWRP recovery or ODIN etc? Can you advice next steps?

When you've flashed TWRP, the phone will stay in download mode. Nothing will change on screen, that is normal. You have to reboot the device manually, using the button combination it says, then immediately as the device restarts, you change the combination to boot into TWRP. All of these steps are explained in whichever thread or wherever you found TWRP.
As far as rooting is concerned; TWRP doesn't inherently root the device. It just replaces the bootloader to allow you to flash custom packages, like the one needed to root the device.
If you're struggling to get the device rooted and there isn't a very specific reason why you need root, then my best recommendation would be to rather just leave it stock.
As far as I know, flashing TWRP won't trigger Knox, so you'll still have that functionality. Recently, it's become less and less necessary to have root and fewer apps require it, as well.
Like I said, unless there is a very specific reason, you'll likely be better off just leaving it the way it is.
EDIT: I'm realising now the original problem was that your home button wasn't working. In that case, it'll be difficult to get into TWRP, anyway. I also made some assumptions about Knox, because this is on the Note8 sub forum. I don't know if your device has Knox. And You're on a rather old version of Android also, so I understand why you may want to root, but without your home button working, it could become difficult to get into the places where you need to be to make that possible.

Non-Image, No touch recognition

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Alpha, (SM-G850a) and I'm trying to get data off of it. There's a password, usb debugging is off. I've tried enabling the debugging through the adb console, but that hasn't worked as of yet. Is there a way to create an image, or entire copy of the phone with all of the data and get it imported to say an os box, or just get the data through the recovery mode? Thanks!

Update: Forgot to add that the phone is in MTP mode, and shows up in my file explorer on the pc, but because of the password (which I know but can't put in), I can't access any of the data through that.

Recover data from locked Samsung Galaxy A51

Hi,
I'd like to recover data from a Samsung Galaxy A51 .
The phone is locked and I don't have the pincode (forgotten), I've been able to turn it off (only with USB connected, otherwise asks pin) and put it in recovery mode, but from there couldn't reboot to bootloader/download mode... (the phone just restart normally).
I think USB debugging is disabled too...
I was looking into adb commands with clockworkmod installed to pull data out, but I can't find a way to flash it to the phone..
I'm fairly new to Android but I have experience with computers and procedures.
How can I achieve the data recovery?
Thank you very much for your help.

If you can't unlock the screen and if USB debugging was not enabled before the issue started, you will not be able to recover your data.

Question How to access cracked black screen Redmi Note 10

Hello guys.
I have a unique problem here. I have a Redmi Note 10 with a broken black screen. I want to access the phone to be able to backup all my files and if possible to use it with my PC with Vysor or Cast. Because I am still not able to repair the screen right now. And I would also like to have backed up my files before it is repaired.
So I've tried many youtube tutorials to access the phone but it seems none of them can help me because not only can't I see anything on the screen but also I have a very complicated pattern so it is impossible to guess the pattern with a mouse. The screen itself is dead so it doesn't respond to touch.
But I want to believe that I can be able to access my phone because my phone is rooted with Magisk and I'm running a custom rom - Crdroid version 8.9 Android 12. I also have a PC. I am able to get into Crdroid recovery when I press volume up + power button. I am also able to enter into fastboot mode when I press volume down + power button.
I'm stating all this because I want to know if there is any way I can be able to backup my files or access the phone with my laptop. I saw that one can be able to access their phone if Developer Options are turned on. Mine were turned off before the screen broke. Is there any way I can be able to turn them on in my situation?
Please help.
try to boot twrp in fastboot.
fastboot boot twrp.img
i think mtp is activated automatically. problem is if it will ask for the unlock pattern on twrp
Okay

So if I boot into TWRP, the computer will be able to read my files automatically?
i think there is no hope in your state...
complicated screenlock + fully dead screen + developer options turned off
if you had USB Debugging enabled you could use this software to use the phone on the PC like in the picture because i have a phone in the same status like yours but USB Debugging was enabled.
with twrp you can save your internal storage files but it will ask for pattern and you won't be able to access those files without unlocking it.
so i guess the only way is trying to guess the pattern with a mouse... i know that will be really hard but is the only thing i can suggest.
otherwise just take your phone to a repair shop

Okay. I guess I'll just take it to the repair shop then since it's impossible to guess that pattern. Thank you for your reply.
