Moto X Sticky Situation (Entirely broken screen) - Moto X Q&A

Hi!
I have a Moto X 2013 from Verizon. I am planning on sending it in for a replacement via Motorola. Since they give you a brand new phone, you lose all your data from it.
I have tried for ages trying to find ways on the internet.
Before I do this, I want to know for 100% fact that there is no way to backup my phone.
Key "fact thingies"
-Cannot enable ADB Debugging (There is a password on my phone)
-CAN ACCESS FASTBOOT (Verified by checking fastboot terminal)
-Buttons work fine.
Any help will be highly appreciated, and, if you can help me get my data backed up, I will reward you with the Steam game of your choice (Up to $15)

Give a bit more info, is your bootloader locked/unlocked.
Which data your want to backup, Photos, other files, app data?
What version of Android you run?
The password your have, is it a password, pattern, pin?

Okay, here goes.
My bootloader is locked (unfortunantely), I'd like to back up user created files, so music, pictures, videos, and the folders containing them, It has 4.4.4 rooted, and the password is, well, a regular password.

You can give it a try with a OTG adapter and USB keyboard attached, this way you can probably unlock the device, but you`ll need some blind navigation with the keyboard after that so you can reach the settings
Today or tomorrow when I got the time I`ll play a bit with that and I`ll see if I can help you.

I've played a while today with a keyboard and I can do everything, except to unlock the phone, the unlock ring itself cannot be operated with keyboard. Password input is okay, so it's navigation to Developer Options and enabling USB debugging is also doable..
There is an option to plug mouse first, try to jiggle with it and unlock the ring, since this is the only of few things you can do when your have password, then connect the keyboard, input your password and proceed.
After that there will be one more obstacle, which is to authorize you pc to access debugging, but this can be done with keyboard too, since it's a pop-up.

hm, not the easiest task, since your BL is locked,you cant install CWM, otherwise you could remove the pw with the aroma file manager out of CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225695
Have you tried this?: http://trendblog.net/how-to-bypass-android-phone-lock-screen-pattern-pin-password/
And have you looked into this?: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ce-as-have-no-internet-connection/35848#35848
Another way would be removing the lock via cerberus, but this would require installing cerberus 1st on your phone and if your phone is locked but rooted but you cant access the phone directly or via adb then there isn't much you can do cause you have to access the phone somehow, either directly or via terminal / PC

Unlocking Galaxy via adb without wiping

Hey.
I messed with a phone who had the pattern-lock and after enough tries it locked the phone informing me I needed the proper e-mail address and password. It's a phone's friend by the way.
He can't remember his right e-mail, so that end is lost.
Is there a way to bypass this unlock without wiping the entire phone? Through adb or something? Even a way to plug his phone and back-up all his stuff so it won't go to waste.
I really need your help here, thank you very much in advance.

I don't think you can downgrade your bootloader, I think the only way is to install the next developer preview bootloader and then you would be able to downgrade it to an earlier version

My phone is in factory reset protection, and that's why I don't have access to the menu to access the developer options, usb debuging and other necessary .

On n OEM unlock should be activated by default, what happens if you fastboot flash n factory image step by step with no simcard inside?
does booting into fastboot and type fastboot oem unlock not work?
Otherwise there are a bunch of YouTube bypass frp videos, did you try anything?

He has a N6 where he's locked out of the device and unable to activate it. Either he forgot the email addy and password he used to activate it, or he purchased a phone from someone else and got locked out because that someone else didn't remove their account from the device prior to selling.
In any event, his legit options are to try and remember the email and password used, or to try and get the seller to remove their account from the phone. Otherwise he'll have to try and bypass the FRP.

as you do the factory reset bypass protection, you need to do a downgrade to an older version android, then bypass, and update to the latest version

I tried all solutions for bypass and other sources after youtube, but as the nexus the whole time comes the first time Android the newest and latest security patch, if I remember correctly at the October 5th when it came out the official version 7.0
@bombonel: With Factory Reset Protection in play you must know the email address and password used on the phone in order to progress in the setup. Entering into the bootloader in the phone's current state and attempting to unlock the bootloader using fastboot will not work. Unless you can get into Android and toggle the Enable OEM Unlock option in the hidden Developer Options menu you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.
Your available options are as follows.
You need to know the email and password used on the device.
If the device was purchased used from another person, you need to contact that person and have them remove the device from their account.
You need to start looking at methods of bypassing Factory Reset Protection.

I talked to the person from whom I bought the phone arrived in this State, the person from whom I got did not know how long does factory reset after 5 minutes of thought got stuck and enter to recovery ans wipe data and cache wipe, having the account and all saved and knowing that the first boot takes thought and got stuck and to give it to me , started that night fix to change the password to your gmail account and deleted and sync and all of his account and the phone became useless. Because it communicates with google server over the internet, but only synchronized with the old account and no password only, and tried to contact the folks at google and with whom you can, but make no result if the wrong person irreparably.

Phone blocked

Hi Guys,
I think I have no lucky these days...
I was testing a new ROM and when a returned the backup with TWRP android asked me a patteren for unlock.
The patter I usauly use dont work.
I found a help that say to erase some files in /data/system but it doenst work...
I had a idea to block the cell with my google account and set a new PIN for unnlock... It doenst work
Now I have the cell blocked by google and its impossible to access the internal memory with TWRP...
I need help... I dont know what to do...
Please !!!!
Sounds like your only way back is to format/delete all your data and start from scratch. You can use fastboot to do this.
I think this is the way... but I never did this before...
Do you know a step by step to do this !?
If I understand rightly you have a Google locked phone. I have not tried this on the OP3T but if you are able to reach the boot up screen where Google asks you for the password/pattern lock, you can try inserting an OTG drive of any capacity into your device. The phone will ask for changing storage. After clicking 'OK' you will be taken to the storage section. Go to 'Apps' and from there to 'Setting'. If you are able to reach this far, do a complete reset from that 'Settings' section and you would be able to recover your phone. I repeat, I have not tried this on the OP3T but have successfully tried this on some other phones. Best of luck and hope you get back your toy.
Let me also add that you won't be able to recover a Google blocked phone by factory resetting from recovery. The only way to do this is to reset it from the settings section of the OS itself after you have booted up.

Problem after updating device

Hey,
Today I have an unusual request. At the Sister on the phone after the update asks for a pattern and despite entering the correct pattern it is not possible to unlock the phone, unfortunately the fingerprint for huawei after restart will not unlock the phone. Unfortunately, there is only one copy of her child's pictures on the phone and I don't think I need to know how important they are, I ask you for help. What can I do to get at least to the pictures in the internal memory. I read about adb but unfortunately the phone has no SD card slot so there is nowhere to put it in, I downloaded some Google programs that either do not support this model or are paid $ 60. All the time we try to enter familiar patterns every hour but after 3 attempts he locks the phone. The phone has an original system, no root, no modifications and USB debugging is turned off (as is standard in the system, because it was not needed by the sister).

Android is an open system so I believe there is a solution, thank you in advance! Greetings!

Isn't it great to see Android security in action. Send the phone to Huawei for unlocking. Proof of purchase will be required unfortunately.
I can do it here: consumer.huawei.com/pl/support/postal-repair
??
Proof of purchase will not be a problem.

That looks correct. Contact them with the issue, i'm sure they can help you.
Unfortunately, after a phone subject to Huawei, I received information that Huawei cannot unlock the phone without losing data even for the user who owns the phone.
are there any other solutions?
I tried ADB but with usb debugging turned off I can't do it.

This is exactly how it should work tbh. There is no reason for the fingerprint and pattern unlock to change after a simple update. Either more is going on, or you are extremely unlucky. If Huawei can not keep your data, maybe you are best to get them to reset and start using backups for your family member from here on.
Edit: I know that is a bad answer in your situation. However, it should not be a simple process to bypass security on any Android phone.
There is no possibility to use other way of unlocking (password or something else than pattern)?
Try doing an 'emergency backup' in eRecovery.

How to make such a copy? After making such a copy will I have access to data? Can you expand the topic?

I forget the password and I want to copy the photos

My phone is at&t LG V40 ThinQ (V405) and I have forgotten the pin password.
As you know, I cannot access to everything without the password. I connected it to the PC and the files won't show up.
It turns on without problems, but it asks for a password to unlock the screen.
I can hard rest it, but it will erase everything. I cannot even root it because I need to enable the developer mode and allow the bootloader to be unlocked via the setting.
Is there is any way that I can retrieve the files via PC?

Are the photos saved on the sd card? Another good reason to turn that on if you didn't.
There is an frp partition for vzw phones that enables oem unlock, not sure it would work for a different variant though. Have you ever connected it with qfil? U don't need root for that, and in edl mode, you could save off user data (which is huge, like 40 gig I think). Not sure if your pics would be in that or not actually.
interesting problem. good luck.

wish I had detailed instructions to give you. I've never been in that situation, or resolved one like it. I pointed out some avenues I'd explore it it were me... but it's not.
maybe you'd like to look more closely at those avenues, maybe you wouldn't, that's your choice.
