Hello All,
I have a weird situation. I found a phone somewhere which is Redmi 8A. It doesnt have any sim card nor memory card.
I tried to resent the phone and booted into recovery. but couldnt do it as there is no option to erase/reset the phone. Also tried to flash it with the Mi lashing tool it returned the error "cant erase phone is locked". Did tried to bruteforce the login screen but "usb debugging/developer mode is not enabled"
i would be really grateful if you can suggest a solution. I can give this to my community watchmen who doesnt have a phone.
the major three issues are
1. Recovery doesnt have reset option
2. USB debugging/developer mode not enabled
3. Screen is locked with 4 digit pin.
Thank you all in advance.
This is a bit tricky but you could just open up the phone take out the drive and modify it directly by adapting it
That's the best you could do I guess
Because for anything more you will have to get into the phone
Good luck

Hi at all!
After yesterdays update over WiFi (don't know which exactly, but I think it's MiUI8 6.9.8) my Redmi Note 3 (Qualcomm, 32GB) wouldn't let me unlock the device neither with fingerprint nor pattern. Before I updated it was normally unlocking. Normally I use fingerprint, so at first I thought i forgot the pattern, but after several attempts the phone went into lock mode. I am 99% sure I know the right pattern, but it won't unlock.
I already read this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-5684-1-1.html and tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMAPEhH5z-8
But I have still several problems:
- USB debugging not enabled
- no recovery installed
- no root or open bootloader or anything like that
- no backup of all photos, which are on the phone itself and not on the SD card (I just came back from holidays)
- no cloud or similar backup
- Mi Pc Suite does not detect phone
- Google Device Manager states "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won't be needed." if I try the send a new lockscreen.
This method (with flash afterwards) could help me, I guess, but I still would loose everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
I have absolutely no idea how i can unlock my phone without loosing any data (especially the photos).
Please if anyone has an Idea, help me!
Same happened to me so I restored my backup, once the restore had finished I removed the finger print and pin number (I had read about this on the xiaomi Forum). Then did the update again and this time it was OK
sounds easy, how did you restore the backup?
Before restoring any backup, I suggest you hard restart your phone. long press the power button.
but if I make a Hard Reset I will loss everything on the phone.
Is there maybe a possibility to insert some sort of file or command via EDL mode, that USB debbuging will be enabled? http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
No not the hard reset. I was talking about hard restart. The phone will just restart.
ahh I see, sorry my fault.
But nonetheless I din't made any backup ever with this phone.
same problem here
my phone redmi note 3(qualcomm 32gb) is also locked just yesterday ! it shows try again after 120 minutes and after the time completed it shows pattern and it will be locked again and shows the same dialouge after trying my correct password ! actually we shoud get forgot password option behind the emergency option ! please do give a reply to me if you find any solution it means a lot to me !
Well I am afraid I can't help you either... after searching for 2 days I found no solution and flashed my phone. so all data was lost...
Hi everyone,
This is starting to really do my head in, considering I unlocked, flashed and rooted Redmi 3S on first try and in a few minutes.
I managed to unlock bootloader of Redmi Note 4 SD after finally installing correctly usb fastboot drivers (using MiFlash). I flashed TWRP 3.2.2.0, flashed OPT patch and SuperSU, and got a TWRP bootloop (phone always booted into TWRP).
Using MiFlash, I flashed Global Dev Rom and then phone updated by ota to latest 7.6.29. HOWEVER, stupid of me, I flashed rom with option checked of Clean All and Lock, accidentally locking bootloader again.
I try to unlock phone again with Mi Unlock Tool, log into my account succesfully and Tool doesn´t detect phone. Drivers are installed but Tool says Phone Not Detected. I unplug and plug usb cable to all ports and nothing.
However if I use older version of Mi Unlock Tool 1. 1, it detects phone but when I unlock ,it stops at 50% saying Couldn´t Verify Device. Account is bound to phone and I´m logging in with correct details.
Does one need to apply to Xiaomi again for a second unlock?? Driver problem? Account problem?
Anyone have any ideas? I would like to flash TWRP and root phone to be able to fix once and for all that FRIGGIN audio mic noise cancellation when recording videos, seeing as Devs don´t develop a rom with that huge bug patched.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!!
Did you try it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459 Read also second post, you should turn on oem unlock, and one apply for one phone.
Thanks buddy, tried all that, but I have posted in that specific bootloader thread to see if someone has an answer.
Cheers friend!
Hello,
I have a Redmi Note 4 Mediatek, bought in China. I used it till Q1 2018, after flashing a global rom (thanks to cofface tutorial on this forum).
I want to reset it but I forgot my mi account password and do not have anymore the phone number I used to create it. (shame on me, I didn't set email or phone recovery). I tried to ask for manual reset on Xiaomi website but it always get rejected (I don't know why). However I still remember my phone password so I can access the settings.
Then I wanted to reset it through TWRP, but I am unable to enter recovery mode, my display shows the device + a cable plugged in... and nothing happens...
I tried reflashing TWRP but it didn't change anything.
Any idea how I could solve this ?
Thank you for your help
Phone: Asus Zenfone 3 ZC520TL
Hi all. So I have a frustrating issue with my phone after having updated to the last official firmware from the Asus website. I noticed that the phone operation was very slow, so I decided to do a factory reset from recovery. Everything went well until I am somehow locked out of my phone via FRP. The weirdest thing is that instead of asking for google credentials, it's asking for a pattern, which I am correctly inputting but it refuses to recognize it. So now I'm stuck with a locked out phone. Am I SOL at this point or is there a way to get past this other than taking it to a service center?
Things I've tried that haven't worked:
1. tried to erase user config in fastboot (returned error FAILED)
2. wiped all data in recovery
3. tried to flash to an older version via asus flashtool but didn't work as the device isn't recognized
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look on YouTube for FRP bypass and your phone model

Hello,
I have a realme 7 pro and this morning, after I turned it on, I entered the required password after rebooting and it rejected it.
The last time I used the phone was yesterday and I neither changed the password (it has been the same for months), nor did update.
How on earth is this possible?
I have never modified the system files since I bought the phone (no modding) and the bootloader is still locked (that's why I think I can't access the fast boot mode).
I can only access engineering mode and recovery mode.
Thank you in advance for your help.

That's strange. Phone rejects the password even if it entered correctly if someone has tried to enter the password incorrectly earlier without your knowldge.
Please allow some time and then enter it again.

First of all, thank you for your reply!
I wasn't aware of this defense mechanism of smartphones, however to my knowledge no one has tried to access my phone by mistaking the password...
In any case, I will wait 24 hours without making any further attempts and then try again to enter it
I just tried again but nothing.
To your knowledge is there any company that performs such unlocks? I am only interested in recovering the data which is very important, otherwise I would have formatted it....

There are a few problems with such requests:
They often come from people with stolen devices (knowingly or not, no judgements here)
It's borderline illegal, which contests our 'do not get us in trouble' rule
There's often payment involved with such services (and rarely any guarantees), also against our rules
You'll find several "tools" to "help you" but they are often bundled with malicious software
In short, though we do support some good old exploit sparring, the topic resides in a dark corner. Nonetheless it's good to ask around, perhaps there's other people with the same problem (2 years after release, unlikely) or someone has heard of a rare bug related to the matter.
IMHO your best bet would be getting in touch with Realme (find them here). Definitely keep us updated if you do!
I also have this Realme 7 Pro (issue/bug? IDK) since January 11, 2023
I have set face recognition but useless after rebooting phone.
In Realme UI recovery mode v1.2, before using any commands like
1. Install from storage
2. Online update
3. Wipe data
Phone asks for lockscreen password FIRST. Even PIN is what I set.
Also I need to recover my data first before doing ALL Methods to gain access again.
Please help us.
Edit: I just add more details about mine.
RMX2170
Android 11
non rooted, I dont have plan to modify first.
That's why I did not enable "USB Debugging" before I encountered this "lockscreen PIN problem". Which is I need right now to establish connection between android & pc.
(Forgot password is also useless they just recommend to bring this to Service Center to factory reset but, goodbye files.)

Unfortunately, I am also in this situation, I can basically only use *#899#
For now, I contacted Realme who referred me to a local shop. I have contacted them but am still waiting for a response. I have a hunch that we will lose the data....
If the device is encrypted, you can not access data without unlock. Maybe Realme have something they can flash to EDL to unlock the phone and access data….
