Hey all!
So im quite stuck with my S6 Edge here, it's locked with a pin code/password to be able to get into it to retrive the files that i have on it.
Is there a way to unlock it without the traditional ways? I've been in contact with Samsung, sadly the phone is NOT connected to a samsung account, so i can't unlock it trough "find my phone". Also tried pushing wrong password xx times to get to the "cooldown" to see if i could do a recovery trough gmail/samsung account but that option does not come up when trying.
I dont really mind if i dont get the phone unlocked in that sence, but i do need to get ahold of the files on it. (images/videos/sound and text files). The phone was used to record alot of music and texts that i did not get to upload to my google drive.
Any tips at all would be highly appriciated
(the only tip i have so far, is to send the phone in to get it broken up, take out the harddrive/memory unit then grabbing everything from there trough some sort of program which i got told is a lengthy and potential costly process).
Best Regards

Hello, if you don't mind rooting it, you can flash the TWRP Recovery, delete the so called lockscreen.db files and then you should be good to go.
But keep the following in mind:
This will not only void your warranty, the KNOX Counter on your Phone will also be "triggered" meaning it'll go from 0x0 to 0x1 (Once it's at 1 it can't be undone anymore)
I found a video about bypassing passcode from a Samsung Galaxy if you forgot the passcode, and keep all data on your phone safety.

Hi!, I have a RAZR D3 (XT919). It ships with Android 4.1.2, but I upgraded it to 4.4.2. A few days ago, I dropped it, and the screen shattered, the screen itself it's not broken, I mean, it displays what it needs to, but half of the screen lost the "touch" capabilities, meaning that I can't input my unlock pattern. I've tried everything in order to be able to unlock it (do not ask why I need it to be unlocked, I just NEED it unlocked), I tried through ADB, but, USB debugging is not enabeld (it actually IS enabled, but I can't confirm the debugging access to my pc because it does not show up the window that asks for confirmation, and, even if it did, I would not be able to tap it not because of the broken screen, because I think the touch part that is still working is in range, but because it would not let me tap it in the unlock screen), I tried through flashing a zip file (actually, lot's of them) that in theory disabled the pattern... yet, no luck (I'm aware that I may needed to input a random pattern, it didn't worked), I tried a file manager made for recovery mode, didn't worked either. So, in short terms, I tried tons of things to unlock the damn phone (factory reset is not an option) and nothing works. I just don't know what to do, I will be buying a new one, of course, but I need it unlocked right now. Oh, I also tried with a USB-OTG cable with either the pc keyboard and mouse, the device simply does not support it. So... yeah, I'm pretty much screwed. Don't be afraid to post any complicated solution, just keep in mind, to make it as clear as possible, thanks for caring and I hope somebody would be able to help me!
Do you have twrp installed?
If so, Go to twrp>file manager>data>system and there delete lockscreen.db and reboot

Sorry, I'm not sure that I do (most likely not), even if I did, how am I supposed to browse my files? I can't acces my phone through my pc either unless I enable US debugging (literally, it shows no folder neither files... it's like an empty windows folder), thanks for caring anyway

That's because phone is Pattern locked.
If there is no lock, you will be able to browse your files

i dont have any trick to bypass moto phones for samsung and lg i got
Nevermind guys, thanks for trying to help, but I already bought a new phone (LG F60). It's not that I wasn't gonna buy a new one anyway, but, I wanted to check some stuff on some apps that were on the functional part of the screen, anyway, you said you have some tricks for LG devices, if you know anything to get some tweaking or just for knowledge for any problem that I may encounter in the future, let me know (I don't want to root it yet because I will lose guarantee). With that said, thanks agakn for trying, I hope this is not the only time I'll get to this forum. See ya!
A friend of mine (not very technical) asked me for help - he has a FRP locked Note 5 (M1803e7sg) - 'this device is locked' 'This device is associated with existing xiaomi account' message constantly is on screen, so we cannot do much more than emergency call or connect with Wi-Fi.
Apparently, his son, who used the phone do not remember the email he registered an account (or do not want to remember it), so we assume there is no way to get it back, nor unlock miui.
This phone is legit, this friend of my has proof of purchase. He even send the phone to official Xiaomi warranty service prior to giving me, but they told him they cannot do anything. Like at all.
I tried multiple ways from youtube manuals, including wiping data or the one with Talkback. But none works in my case and a phone is still locked.
I'm aware that neither Miui soft won't work on this device. But could you guys advise if there is a way to get twrp in this state, erase, put new software (cyanogen mod or what not) and guide me the easiest way to do that?
Twrp is not possible without unlocking bootloader.
CyanogenMod no longer exist.
If you can provide the version of miui then maybe we can help.
Can you go to setting enabled dev mode and on oem unlocking? If yes, maybe you can watch youtube.
Of course it is MIUI 10.

Yes it can. Try search youtube. "Frp miui 10 fix" something like that.
Hey, so I was contacting xiaomi support. They failed to help me because I dont have Mi account ID nor email address bound to this phone?
Are they not able to say which ID I was using on this particular phone? Cause I am not - I erased it. I also lost emial bound to this account.
I have my phone case with all the numbers, original proof of purchase from local retailer. The phone is 100% legit.
I just lost mi account ID, why is it so much of a problem right now? It's only an aco**** that I was not using to anything.
This is only hardware, right? Why software limits how the hardware is running? You can always erase all the software that is there, including bootloader and load other, unlocked software. Am I wrong?
EDIT: no, I'm not wrong. I haven't found a solution so far, but fortunately my social engineering helped and I managed to restore mi account and pass.
It's a shame that Xiaomi do not have a better way to go in such cases.
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.
Hello,
I have Huawei Honor 9 STF-AL10(al09) (chinese version 6gb/128gb) which can not unlock. Before some days i gave the phone to my child for playing, then he put lock pattern and he forget it next day.I was using my phone with my fingerprint ,whitout know the lockpattern,and some days later, it says fingerprint suspend - pattern required. And i am trying everything and cannot unlock it. I know the email which is connect the phone, i try when open it in google devices, but is not allowed USB debug and not allowed Find my phone and cannot unlock. Is there have any way to unlock and keep information in. I have a lot of doc, notes and some apps.
I need to save everything as it is inside.
I can wipe and recover, but i need to save everything.
Is there any software do this(doesn't matter if its paying).
Until somedays i have option every 1 hours to try 3 times, but from now is every 24 hours only 1 time.
Or, if there have any way to unlock again with my fingerprint and after that i will allow usb debug and remove lockpattern?
Please help.
Thanks!
Regards,
Georgi
Have you tried third party programs like dr.fone?
This article has some positive reviews, check it out as well.
You can't unlock bootloader on huawei devices so you can't recover data from it :/
If you're desperate you can follow this article here to unlock bootloader on your device, it's quite expensive though.
Also unlocking the bootloader wipes all data and that's obviously not what you want.
Should all of the above mentioned fail then I really think wiping it is the only option.
Should you succeed then do post what worked for you here so anyone viewing the thread in the future knows what to do.
I can do wipe data/cache from boot menu and i can reset it, i know the email and everything, but i need to save everything as it is inside.
I was thinking, if there have any way to bring again to unlock with the finger print and i will fix it.
It is not a problem, i will pay for Dr Fone, but i was write to them to ask, is the software can help me, without losing anything inside, but they not responding me.
I am trying any combination with lock pattern, but the problem is that now is only 1 try in 24hours and killing me.
Yes, If i find solution i will post it, to save a lot of searching for somebody else.

If you know the email then why not reset the pin?
You can't get the fingerprint to work if it says fingerprint suspended, it's a security feature in Huawei phones and you have to enter your pin.
Try sending it to an authorized service center, they may be able to help you.

How to reset the pin? I have no PIN, i have lockpattern and fingerprint. Yes, it says fingerprint suspended.
I was try with Find my Phone, but i am not activate the location and the option find my phone and cannot connected when i open it from browser, i see my phone, i see the imei, but i cannot do anything more.
I was talk with the authorized center in my country Bulgaria, but they say, that they can only wipe data and restored, but I dont want this, i was ask them for the contact to the central service center, but they not gave me any information.

What I mant by PIN is the device password, or lockpattern.
Did you try forgot my password?
If you have a Huawei ID and you're signed in on your device then follow this guide here.
If all of that failed as well then I'm sorry to inform you that your data is no longer recoverable.
Make sure to do regular backups to avoid this mistake again. I personally use this app.
Also turning on parental control mode when giving your device to your child is another way to avoid this happening again, I personally wouldn't blame my child for this.

I commend your determination annon, but please don't waste your time.
There is no way to recover the data. You don't have debugging mode on, no root, no unlocked bootloader or custom recovery, you don't have a Huawei ID, and google account/google find my device doesn't work.
I don't mean to interfere in your family issues, but as I said I wouldn't blame my child for it. Judging from the way you spoke they're still young.
Instead I'll turn on parental control mode before giving my device.
I will try to find a way with fastboot, if there have some way to do it, i can see the device in ADB terminal , it recognize it at fastboot device, when start the phone in fastboot recovery menu.
Yes, he is 8 year old, i'm not blame him, they are child - it is normal for them.
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.
