Question Need help with Pattern unlock , trying to recover files. - Moto G Power (2021)

My 6 year old non verbal niece found my moto g power 2021 and installed a pattern unlock on it. Normally I would just erase it and call it a day. But the download folder has files I need. I tried the moto redit for my phone but they where of no help. I figure this place is maybe my last hope. All the paid android unlocks erase all data to get by the pattern lock and I can already do a hard reset to do that. Is there anything I can do to just recover the files ? that i really should have backed up

OEM Unlock 7 or 14 days, RMM state...

I read a lot in these forums here about OEM unlock S9+ but until now it did not work for me. Additionally there are lot of confusing information around here...
Can anyone (from OWN experience !) please write how unlock, waiting-time and RMM-states are related?
I bought a new phone from U.K., a variant which actually is only available in the Asian market as far as I know.
Color blue with 256 GByte and dual-SIM.
It has EXYNOS CPU !!! As you can see from my attachments, I have already been waiting 7 days for OEM-unlock with no success. I did not boot into download-mode yet.
I assume Samsung has produced phonse, even with EXYNOS, where the OEM-unlock is impossible...

As far as I know, so far, only the snapdragon variants can not be unlocked using the OEM Unlock feature.
I had a custom ROM for about 5 days, and to be honest I sort of wish I hadn't done anything at all. Unlocking the bootloader breaks things like Google Pay and Device Certification on Google Play. This stops things like Netflix and other services (seemingly only ones that rely on Googles Windvine DRM - although the APKs can be installed manually). The second you load TWRP, Knox is gone forever. It is unrecoverable. This I care less about, although Secure Folder had its uses for duplicating apps.
Yes, its possible for Root to fix most of those, but its an endless cat and mouse chase and often breaks when Google update things (I could not get Google Pay to work at all despite Magisk Hide)
During those 5 days, the OEM Unlock option was unavailable to me. When I decided to go back to full stock condition (minus Knox) I loaded all the correct things in via Odin, and the OEM Unlock option was available, with the slider in the off position.
What I want to know at this point, is does turning it on re-lock the bootloader? Because if it does that would likely solve my issues with Google Pay (its incredibly handy).
To answer your question though, the standard waiting time is usually 7 days, after which it will re-appear.
I now rebooted to download mode to see the RMM state. It is Prenormal...

[Help] Unable to Unlock Bootloader

I am getting an error text in Chinese, which I can't read nor understand. Can anyone help me out here?
What happened is I unlock the bootloader then flashed new PIE Beta. But stupidly enough I didn't notice that the re-lock option was enabled. Now here I am, unable to unlock the bootloader.

And I'm locked ever since....above is the link to my sad story where i end up re-locking my bootloader and not able to figure out how to get it unlocked again!
I even ended up deleting my old account leaving with an obsolete sim card number to which i can't even add any more mi accounts!
So i had created a new one(mi account)...reset my poco, added the new account, associated the device with the new account, tried unlocking from the mi unlocker....no luck...it was 72 hrs of relentless waiting followed by disappointment.
I'm now on stock v8.11.15 and the most i could do to relieve myself of the crappy mi bloatware is to hide the apps i despise..such as mi video, music, google play music, movies...etc from the launcher.
Still i haven't lost hope...i had created an mi account from a friend's sim card and I'm yet to slap it in my phone n try the new account.
Let's hope for the best.

Question Error when trying to unlock bootloader

Hi all.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my 8 Flip but am having a couple of issues. First one is that there's no "OEM Unlock" option in my Dev settings. I've tried running the official unlock tool anyay, and it errors out saying "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[11006]"
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Solved it - Just had to turn wifi off and use mobile data and it worked
My friend has an error code when unlocking the Bootloader. Do you know why?

Why are you trying to unlock the bootloader? Are there custom roms available?

To root the phone
where did you buy the phone? Some vendors sell phones that cannot be rooted.
You can see it with the app CPU-Z in System section if you see bootloader : no, you can't root
I was just about to unlock the bootloader to try to dump the recovery.img and use that to create a twrp image.
But there is a big warning saying:
Before you download, install, and use the Unlock Device App (“Service”), you understand that you need to take all risks in terms of quality and performance of the Service, including but not limited to: once you trigger the Service, you’re not able to recover your ASUS products to the original status at the time of manufacturing (“Original Product”) anymore. Original Products which is used with the Service (“Changed Product”) will no longer be regarded as the Original Products. The software updates will not be available to the Changed Product, and the digital content in the Changed Product may no longer be used. (...)

Does this mean I would not get security updates and later the Android 13? I only want to get twrp to be able to root the device. but losing the OS updates would be a big no-no.
Are those who have unlocked it getting updates? Can anyone confirm this?

Question Device is permanently unlocked

I have a moto g play 2021. I just restarted the phone & got a today at the bottom of the screen saying "device is permanently unlocked". I didn't do anything I haven't done before. I simply restarted. It's running Android 11, not rooted. What does that mean

It could be Carrier unlocked, meaning it can be used on other networks.
If the bootloader is unlocked you should see a splash screen every time it boots that the bootloader is unlocked.
Like this

It's not rooted, & it just happened once after rebooting. It hasn't happened before that I'm aware. I didn't get a pop-up like in the picture, just a toast message. I don't know if it's carrier unlocked or not.
Sounds to me like an app set to run on boot would be the cause for that toast message. Do you happen to have the Device Unlock app on your phone? I'm assuming you have phone variant for a specific network/carrier. I know that for T-Mobile's Device Unlock app, there are two options to unlock device: Permanent Unlock, and Temporary Unlock. If you recently met your carrier's requirements for unlocking your device, the actual unlock may have been done automatically on your behalf. ORRRR, someone close to your phone (or maybe it was you if say you're one to take sleeping meds occasionally) tinkered with the app at some point in the past. All speculation at this point on the WHEN or HOW, but the WHY and WHAT all point to that one app.

Probably someone tried to root it and made RMM to change to prenormal. Have you tried checking if RMM/KG is showing prenormal in Download mode?

I'm trying to root it
Can i fix this problem );
Yes, typically the RMM resets after 7 days. There might be a quick fix which I am unsure of, so keep digging on xda.

I just got the Edge Plus (named that here in the US) Same phone as this, and mine is like this too, brand new out of the box like this.
Having the same issue, greyed out OEM unlock button.
Brand new, out of bocx.
Also when I go to the motorola site, it says not eligible to be unlocked, which is bizzare. Its fully unlocked!
My guess is it takes some time for the button to not be grey, according to what I read here.
Still need to try to get the code though from the moto site.
Fairly confident the Oem unlock button will be active in a few days.
Does anyone button greyed out get the Oem unlock code? I can't get that. Fully unlocked device.
ok was able to get the motorola unlock code, about 24 hours after I got the phone. Still, cant get the OEM unlock to toggle. Tried multiple reset options and nothing worked (sim, no sim, wifi, no wifi).
Did a factory reset and it worked!
