My phone is in following condition and I badly need to backup my contact list. Please share a feasible solution
- it is screen locked and is asking for my google credentials because I have entered incorrect pattern multiple times.
- I don't remember the password of my google account
- I don't have USB debugging enabled
- phone model is HTC Desire C
- the phone is in stock condition, hence no recovery is installed
UPDATE: I have researched the available internet and am close to believing that this is not easily possible. However, I cannot settle on the fact that all my data is still intact and it is just a matter of bypassing the screen lock somehow. I hope someone out there might be curious and resourceful enough to achieve what no one has until now. And to repay his/her time and efforts, I offer to design a fully featured website for him/her and waive off 100% of the labor cost incurred (maximum 7 days).

Greetings everyone. My post is a topic that has been discussed for other phones but I did not see anything specific to my phone.
I recently purchased my used One Max on ebay and it came to me in a hard reset condition. I had a normal set up (Sprint is my carrier)and in the weeks that have past, I am at my happy place with respect to having it set up the way I want it . My issue is that the SMS secure box is password protected. I do not remember having set a password for this and every single password that makes any sense to me will not unlock it. I have perhaps a dozen different password combinations that I use and none work. I have tried all the default passwords suggested by others on other forums, phone number combinations, 1234, etc. no good. I have learned that in order to save a message to the secure box that a password must be created. I dumped a message from my daughter in there with no password prompt so I think it must have been set up previously. Anyway, I need help to unlock it.
If anyone can help, I can prove that the phone is mine. I am not apposed to paying a reasonable fee to anyone that can help. I did read in another HTC forum that rooting the phone will allow a command line prompt to view the password that is active but this was for an evo 3d and I'm not sure that the same command would work on my one max. I am not a developer but I can follow instructions to complete this task.
Please do not suggest a hard reset. I am not willing to lose all the work I done. If you have a solution that does not require that, I welcome your input.

Hey Guys,
I have a Z1S T-Mobile phone. Earlier this week, I managed to somehow crack the screen. Now, the phone doesn't respond to touch.
I was in the process of filing a claim to have it replaced, however, my account still have my phone on it. Therefore, in order to add it, I need the IMEI number.
Therefore, my questions to you are as follows:
Is there a folder which holds that info that I can access to see it? My research showed info for changing it, which I don't want to do. I simply want to know what it is so I can add it to my account.
Besides from using an adapter, is there any other way to access the screen (settings, apps, etc)? I am currently using Air Droid, which saved me A TON in that I can at least access my text messages ad such, but I also wanted to check into some apps, and even the settings if possible.
Lastly, are there any reliable, affordable nationwide repair service out there? I now have 4 phones that need a fix or another, and I just wanted to see if I can bulk-fix them, rather than buy the parts online and scramble through tutorials.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
The imei should be written on a little pull out flag thing just next to where you insert your sim card
Today I received a Nexus 6 which I bought off Ebay and when I tried to log in, I was disallowed due to factory reset protection.
I contacted the seller and he kindly gave me his google account details however, he also informed me that he had changed his password whilst the phone was in transit.
I am in possession of both the old and new password but neither of them will log me in.
Subsequently, the seller informed me that there had been a new login from this device relating to the time that I was trying both the passwords despite the device not logging me in successfully.
What is our way forward as I am reluctant to return the phone as it was a bargain.
Any advice as to the correct procedure would be much appreciated.
Something is fishy here. You shouldn't have to do anything, and him providing you his password(s) is unsecure and stupid.
All he has to do is:
1)Login to his Google account on the website https://myaccount.google.com
2)Go to Device Activity & Notications (Under the Sign-In & Security section)
3)Click on review devices
4)Remove the device from his account
Boom, the phone is removed from Google's re-activation lock or whatever you want to call it. It might take up to 72 hours for the device to be re-eligible for activation without signing into his Google account.
This was apparently done before he posted the device however, the google account was not removed from the device itself.
There is a 72 hour wait from when he changed the password before it will be recognized by the device. Wait that amount of time and log in with the new password and then go in and remove the account.
HOWDY -
I know I'm not supposed to ask for help on removing and/or bypassing a lock screen pattern.
I totally get this, and understand the implications of helping someone do that.
What I am asking for is a recommendation, or maybe even a review of some of the apps that are out there right now.
Whether or not you choose to be believe me is totally up to you, but here's some background -
The particulars - pattern lock screen on Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Sprint variant, SMG928P. USB debugging NOT enabled from what I can tell.
Owner is unavailable to answer questions, he is deceased. Parents, who happens to be the Sprint account holder, does not have access to the gmail or Samsung accounts. No passwords written down anywhere.
The family would like to gain access to the device, the text messages and any call logs available, in order to prove that there was a setup.
There will be no subpoena or any other requests from the court, as the DA doesn't believe that any of the information would be relevant or viable.
I have physical possession of the device right now. Have attempted to connect to my PC, it doesn't show up, which is why I think the USB debugging isn't available.
Have tried all the methods on several pages about how to get around this, and no joy.
Want to know if it would be worth it to download one of these apps that says it would work. Do not want to chance losing any of the data.
Maybe with a death certificate, Sprint would unlock the device? Cellbrite?
Suggestions and reviews would be greatly appreciated, Thanky!
Hello,
I negotiated a Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F/DS) through a site of collective purchases in Brazil, with invoice and all the accessories.
I did all the tests in the device and I decided to buy it, because it seemed reliable.
The device already had the factory settings, but with Android 7.1.1.
I activated automatic update in order to upgrade the android to 8.0.
I received the update and installed it. When restarting the phone, I started the settings normally, I was able to configure the Samsung Account, but when I was starting the configuration of the Google account my phone blocked.
After trying several unlock passwords, I made contact with SAMSUNG which instructed me to send the device for local service.
When I arrived at the service it was verified that my device had "transport block" and who is responsible for unlocking the device is the store in which the device was purchased.
I went to the store that was described in the purchase invoice and there informed me that the store does not perform any kind of unlock or block, so I could not solve the problem.
After several discussions with Samsung and the store, it was verified that my invoice was exchanged and that it was possibly not true.
It was from there that I realized that I was deceived by the seller of the device, because when I try to contact him, my calls do not complete and he blocked me in the social networks.
The only information I have about him is his name and the phone number that should have already been discarded.
Anyway, I realized that I would have to try on my own. Because of this, I am doing this post. I apologize for the long text above before passing the technical information, I had to explain what happened, because I do not want to pass as a thief.
After doing several research I found that the lock was being triggered by RLC.apk which is located at "/system/priv-app/Rlc/Rlc.apk" in stock firmwares.
I found an instruction that guided to freeze the performance of this app with application Ice box v3.1.9.1.
I tried the instruction, but it did not work on devices with Binary 4 (which is my case). The device continues to locked.
I talked to some technicians who told me that this is a block known as SEDA_LOG or DNP 0001. There are some companies that unlock remotely, but it does not have support for Binary 4.
With rom COMBINATION I can use some applications installed by adb, even my data network works perfectly.
The IMEI is normal, unlocked, and is out of the blacklist.
Other information is that the RMM State is Lock, FRP ON, OEM LOCK ON.
Also, when the lock screen appears a few times the message "Silent Log is not allowed for commercial version, please get the EM token".
Through the Samsung Account I can make the phone ring and even locate it, but it does not unlock.
Some failed attempts:
- flash a rom from another region (the device region is ZTO, I tried O2U)
- wait 7 days for the RMM State to disappear (not disappeared, continued locked)
- freezing the RLC app
- enter several PINs to try to unlock.
- login with my samsung account on rmm.samsung.com to try to unlock rmm, but I can not access.
If anyone can help me, or can guide me in what to do, I am very grateful.
Well, if you got scammed by some nasty person, strictly talking, the device in your hands was illegaly traded, as such, here in XDA no solution will be given or support offered, sorry, these cases appear often, and the moderators usually close the threads
