So my Nexus 6 bit the dust but there's some data I'd love to pull of it, but with the broken screen I can't enter the pattern I had set on the bootloader. I've been googling to see if there's a way to bypass the pattern entry on the bootloader without formatting the device but it looks like I'm out of luck, did I miss something?
Thanks!
DId you encrypt the phone?

Have you tried wiping data? and photos are on your sd card/internal storage, which is not your system, data, or cache partitions.
or if ur phone is rooted then there are a lot of tutuorials to tell you how to bypass it
Hello,
So i drop my nexus on conrete floor shattering the screen in the process, to the point that the display no longer comes on at all, and i have it encrypted, is there a way i can dump the partition and maybe flash it to my new nexus 6?
its rooted and i left the boot loader unlocked and i know it still powers on because it comes up on linux when i run the lsusb command as Google Inc. Nexus 4 (not really sure why it says 4 but it is it because when i unplug it and re-run lsusb its gone) is there any hope for me?
Thanks for any replys
Hmmm. I assume you had a screen lock?
I'd love to say boot to twrp then enter the password with a USB OTG keyboard but I've no idea if that would work.

How about a mouse? Not sure if that would work either but I'm almost temped to dig out my OTG cable and see!
EDIT:
Yeah, I works! I was able to boot in to TWRP and unlock a pattern with a mouse. Good to know!

Imagine a pattern grid of dots...
* * *
* * *
* * *
Then imagine a grid of numbers...
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Then you'll get the idea. Although last version of twrp or the one before uses actual pattern now instead if numbers so it may need downgrading a version or two
Dear,
I have an old LG optimus black that I want to give someone but the problem is that I forgot the password of the unlock screen. I searched on the internet how to unlock it but they said there is no solution to unlock it because i don't have a pattern lock. Now i want to recover my phone so that the lock and every old pictures on it will be removed. Does anyone know how to..?

Help.. I have a Huawei P10 (VTR-L09) with Android 8.0 and stock rom and recovery. I've lost the pin code and now it requires the pin after a phone reboot... So I can't access my phone anymore.
Every solution I find on the internet is either only for Samsung or not supported for this phone. Does anyone know how to unlock it now?
Please note that USB Debugging is not enabled in settings as I got the phone back from repair only a few weeks ago so only got fastboot commands. But I really do not want to factory restore it...
Thanks for any assistance!
You could contact your Phone company and tell them you've lost your Pin and PUK. They only need the Numbers from your Sim-card.
Thx for your message GAMaus, but I've lost the phone pin and not the SIM pin. Do you think they can really help me with that?

my friend was with the same situation, he goes to service center and they fix it but he lose all data.
or try with some gsm repair service maybe they can unlock without losing any data, but if your device is encrypted in my opinion is not possible without factory reset
It's not possible to unlock your phone without the correct PIN. Only chance to get into your phone is to wipe data in eRecovery. But this will remove all your user data except the data on SD.
You're also not able to get your data through TWRP because the /data partition is encrypted. To decrypt, you need your PIN.
But there's one question I have: The P10 has a great fingerprint reader and you're telling me, that you didn't assign your fingerprint for unlocking your phone?

he probably was forced to put his pin because of that 3 days option

Yeah the fingerprint doesn't work after startup because Huawei wants you to remember your pin... But fortunately I could try endless possibilities with the pincode (only sometimes I needed to wait a few hours). But in the end I got the pincode correct, so I can use my phone again
Thanks everyone!
Hello all,
I'm in a bit of a predicament. I have an old OnePlus 3t that I have not used for years. The device contains extremely important business information that I need to recover. However, I cannot for the life of my remember my lock screen pattern to boot the device. I tried to remember the password and have now triggered the messaging of "This device will be wiped after 8 more tries."
I haven't updated the phone in years, so it would be on an old version of Android. Is there any toolset that could remove this lockscreen and allow the device to boot?

If you:
1. Have unlocked the bootloader, AND
2. Do NOT have an on-boot password set (a lock screen password is ok)
then it is possible to remove the lock screen password.
So, do you meet this requirement? If you do, then do you have TWRP installed?

I thought my bootloader was unlocked, but I cannot completely remember. When I boot the phone with volume down and power, I see a OnePlus branded screen that is also asking me to swipe the password pattern. I assume this means the bootloader is not unlocked, right? If I try to enter the password on this screen, will it use up the twies that trigger the wiping of my phone?

Power+Vol down takes you to recovery. The fact that it's asking you for a password tells you that the phone is encrypted and has an on-boot password.
So, unfortunately you're not going to be able to recover the data on your phone.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you will always see the unlocked bootloader warning screen when you power on or reboot (before it goes to any other screens.
If you do not see that bootloader unlocked warning screen, the bootloader is locked.

It is definitely locked then..
Is there any known exploit that might be available for the device? It is older and has not been updated in years... Even if there were a way to keep trying patterns without triggering the device wipe, that would be hugely beneficial.

The security features and encryption are very secure. You won't be able to exploit these, to extract your data. They do this on purpose, otherwise it would defeat the whole purpose of data security in the first place.
If the data was important to you; you should have been backing it up. Many easy and free options available to back up your data. I'm always surprised how many folks don't take advantage of any of those backup options. Then they come scrambling over to xda once a disaster has struck, asking for ways to retrieve their data. By that time, it's too late. Don't wait until after the car has crashed, to put your seatbelt on!
If your device is rooted and had twrp, I got a file to flash and it cleans the pattern or password, it safe my life, many times. So let me know. To upload the file.
