Hello, I have never posted in this forum before but I really need help, My cousin died a few months ago and ever since we have been trying to bypass his pattern lock, We have tried everything from dusting the phone to see if we could possibly get the pattern somehow that way to watching all his old climbing videos to see if he maybe opened his phone on camera. We are out of options and we do not want to format his phone due to the unknowing of how he died, it does not make sense and we wanna see if he had anything that can help us figure this all out. Is there anything we can do to get past the pattern lock on his phone, currently the phone is in airplane mode because he was living in the USVI and signal and wifi sucked there so at night he would put his phone in Airplane mode.
Thank you for the help.

You say you never posted here before and yet right next to your name it says you've made 30 posts so far and it doesn't lie.. Now regarding the phone, we don't help people bypass passwords/patterns/fingerprint or iris scans or any security at all and the reason we don't help with that is because too many people lie and they're just trying to get a stolen phone unlocked.. If your story is legitimate the phone carrier will help you unlock the phone itself so long as you can prove your story..

Ok so I have not posted since 2011 and forgot I even did, Thanks for being the big man for pointing that out, as to the carrier helping, NO they wont, even with the death certificate and proof of being the father he can not get any help other than a factory reset and that is not what he is looking for, we need the phone to be like it is. Another question would be is there a way to take it out of Airplane mode seeing we do know his login information?

Nope not possible to get it out of airplane mode when the screens locked because if that were possible then a thief could just turn the GPS off and keep the phone hidden.. You're pretty much going to have to read around and search Google..

No help will be provided here, in short this post will be closed by some moderator, legitimate owner ALWAYS can get help from carriers, no matter what, these stories about not getting solutions or help when providing legal proof of ownership are a total lie

No it's not a lie, The help they provide is doing a factory reset on the phone and we want to keep the data, I know of plenty of programs that will remove the pattern lock but none of them will work on the Note 8. I understand people not helping out because of the security risk and the potential of it being a stolen phone.

That is hard to proof what you say is a lie or not. We can all say things here but doesn't mean it's the truth or not.
As said before you won't get any help here on bypassing the FRP. (You'll understand if you lost your phone and someone else is trying to unlock your phone, would you want us to help that thief to unlock your phone and get your important files/banking info?)
Only thing I'll say is try a Samsung service center or even getting the police/lawyers to help.

The thing is we don't know 100% whether it's a lie or not because everyone and I mean everyone who asks us to help them get around the security seems to have some sort of crazy story in order to try to make us think it's legit and they all say the same thing, "I'm not lying." So try to see it from our side.. I don't want to be the person who causes someone else's stuff to be compromised or personal stuff taken or whatever.

So just to be clear, Who does he need to talk to when he goes in? He has all his information and the death certificate. I am going to assume that is the information he will need to prove that he is his dad and that was his son. The only store he has been into so far is in WA and they told him the only thing they could do is a factory reset and like I said we want to keep all data.
And just to be clear not one person said your stupid so not sure why you said that, so many people do not come to places like this to get help because of people like you, there is no reason to act like a smart butt for no reason, we are going through a hard time and just trying to find some answers and all I am doing is asking questions, I can not help the fact that the store he went to told him they will only do a factory reset, that does not turn into anyone lying or anything.

Again, no matter what you say, or your sad or bad situation, NOBODY HERE will help you bypass security locks of any kind, it is just like this, ethical forum rules, you know,
If you have proof that you are a relative of the owner of the device and have their death certificate. You could take the device to Samsung and ask them to unlock it for you. However Samsung will probably ask allot of questions and request that you provide official documentation to prove that you are a relative of the deceased person who owned the device.
However nobody in this forum will provide you with any assistance on unlocking the device. As we do not know if the device was obtained illegally.
Honestly I'm not sure even the carrier or one of their techs can bypass the screenlock. If anyone can, it would have to be Samsung.
Remember a couple years ago, the terrorist couple in California who killed several people? The FBI confiscated their iPhones as evidence, and they couldn't bypass the screenlock. The carrier couldn't do it. They went to Apple, who said they could but refused the court order. The FBI finally got a hacker to do it for them.
Not sure if Samsung is as picky as Apple, but if Apple wouldn't unlock an iPhone to potentially prevent more terrorist action, I doubt Samsung will do it to view some family member's videos.
Not trying to be cold about it, but it's a fact.

I don't think Samsung will do that period and even if they did do that, they're absolutely going to factory reset the phone and he doesn't want them to delete anything and unfortunately that just seems suspicious that someone would want or have a need for another person's personal information.. There's no getting around the fact that it seems suspicious even if he is being honest so I'm certain that they'd factory reset it either way.

I don't think it's suspicious he wants to get into a deceased loved ones phone. When my first wife died, it was a blessing to have her password for her phone. Knowing one of the last things she saw was a text from me, etc.

If he has offical documents proving that he is the relative of the deceased. I am sure that Samsung would be more than willing to help him unlock the device for them. Seeing as Samsung has at hand.

Even if Samsung does take him to court. If the court finds that the documents proving that he is a relative of the decease are genuine. They will order Samsung to do as he asked ASAP. I doubt that Samsung will take him to court if he does have the official documents at hand.

I just found the Samsung Note GT-N7000 lying on a wall by my job. what perfect timing seeing as my other phone broke. unfortunately, I'm having a few issues.
1. Phone will not perform a hard reset. I've done the volume up+ home+ power keys and the phone will not respond. I've tried doing it through the settings and can't seem to figure out the password.
2. WLAN fails to enable
3. I'm on T-Mobile and the phone will not recognize my data connection. I receieve calls and texts just fine. But, I cannot connect to the internet.
Is it possible the phone is region locked? would I have to go to T-Mobile and get them to unlock it? any help is greatly appreciated asap. I rely on my phone for work and really need it to perform.
I hate to be that person. But, bump
Could you not ask the original owner who put his phone down for a second, whether its simlocked...? As I am sure he/she will love to answer that for you..
I'm guessing by now, chances are the phone has prolly been reported stolen and de-activated by now... And will end up just being a Tablet very soon...

You act as if I made no attempt at finding the owner of the device. But, I don't think I need to explain myself to you.
if the phone was deactivated, would I still be able to receive calls and texts? because I can.
Who would lose a note and not want it back.however long it takes I think u should find a way to return it.return it to the network provider they will know the owner as I'm sure he or she is registered

It is true, you dont have to explain yourself to me... However, I am sure many other people see this post in the same way. As you've not extactly made your post appear as though you've tried all you can to return it to the rightful owner. No mention of this... Only that you found it on a wall and it comes in handy as your other phone has died? And barely 3.5 hrs after posting the initial request, that your bumping a thread for answers, which shows your desperate for that quick answer...
Some times it can take a couple of days before people see or will reply to a post, not hours...
Not wishing to be mean or anything, but ya gotta see it from other peoples point of view too... Not saying you didnt try to return it... But nothing in your posts express that, only your eagerness to Restore the phone into a working state that you can use...
Don't return it, there stupid fault for losing it... Keep it and enjoy it did.

Seriously? Really?
If so, then let's move further - if someone is stupid enough to keep the phone accessible in public, he just deserves to have it stolen.
The difference between pavement and somebody's pocket is negligible, isn't it?
PS. To the OP - usually, with a found phone, it's enough to dial one of the most recent calls to find who is the owner.
Well said p107r0... My thoughts exactly...
Its not hard to just dial the first person in the phonebook, or recent calls...
My dads mate lost his phone, ok so it wasnt a Smartphone or anything to be proud of finding... just ya old basic call/text type... But he uses it for work, all his contacts and would be lost without it...
Yet one day I was in a pub, enjoying a drink and I get a random call from his phone... The person who found it in the street dialed my number as it was alphabetically first and told me he found it and where he could return it too. I was so pleased to hear honesty from him, and told my dad who passed it onto his mate. This person even waited around for when was a good time for my dads mate to see him, he was so pleased to get it back he rewarded him....
So before anything says its their own dumb fault, they deserve it... Just think if it was your own phone... Would you be happy if you lost access to all your data?? Knowing someone has got something of YOURS?? If your that kind of person, well lets hope they take something from you or your family.. and see how it feels????

My wife and I each bought nexus 6 phones last year, one white and one black. My wife recently passed away. Her phone was locked with a pass code that I unfortunately don't know. I thought that I had a good idea what it was, but when I tried to unlock it Google word the phone and locked it. I want to be able to have this phone for a spare. Can someone tell me how to remedy this problem? I can't see having a$650 worthless brick when when I could have a perfect good spare nexus.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
To better assist you, your thread will be moved to your device Q&A forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help
The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.
Sorry about the loss of your wife
Sorry to hear about your loss. It is possible you could simply just try to boot it into recovery mode. Have you put a custom recovery on there? IIRC, you can still access a device via ADB in recovery even if it isn't a custom recovery.
This should allow you to flash a new OS to the device and bypass the existing password. Maybe someone else can chime in and correct me if I am wrong. Sorry I haven't tried running without a custom recovery assuming you are.
Just thought I'd point out the possibility (probability) that this is actually a scammer sob story.

If this was *my* wife, I think I'd have more important things to worry about than trying to break into her phone. I certainly wouldn't be using that as part of a story on the internet for breaking phone security.
OP: If you are NOT a scammer, then sorry to tell you that if you can't figure out the password, you can't gain access to the phone. HOWEVER, proof of purchase and copy of death certificate should be adequate for sending it back to factory for repair.

Hey guys!
I'm sure there is a lot of posts like this one but I couldn't find the right one so if someone finds it please share
So my problem is that my dad bought a Huawei p30 pro (Vog-l29) and little did he know about the google account.. I did a factory reset and now I'm stuck.. Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm far from pro in doing stuff like this but I'm familiar with a lot of ways so if some one with more experience could just point me in the right direction with names of programs and files I would be very thankful! I've read a lot of ways to do it but then they mention that it won't unlock it.. I have a USB cable for it and a Windows computer, do I need something else?
Would really appreciate some help!
Thanks in advance!
Ask your father his password and 'voilà'.. You'll be good to go!

Please can I get some helpful answers..
LoL you're welcome (^_-)
Usually, looking for frp bypass means a lot things...
If not, just try 'frp' on the search bar, there's subjects about.
And, of course, you could also go to an official repair center : they'll unlock it for you.
Good day

Hi. I guess the easiest way is to flash the factory image to the phone.
Look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...orial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793
When I flash new firmware my Google account is gone and I have to enter my information to start the phone with my account.
Its not that hard to flash the firmware. Follow The guide.

You must have online emails and ebay or whichever site you used logs from the sale/purchase, phone number of the seller had to come from somewhere
How did you pay for it? Bank transfer/Paypal, both have paper trails/logs of the seller
Find it hard to believe you have 0 proof of purchase and 0 methods of contacting the seller

It was a seller on a facebook-page. He had written the price and a phone number so my dad called him and they spoke about it. The wrote 2-3 messages and that's it. Not much. Paid in cash as well.

Go back to the FB page and look him up
Next time don't buy dodge phones (likely stolen) from random FB people, there's usually a reason why FRP is locked

I know, my dad didn't know about this, he thought it was like the old days when people still were honest..
Probably doesn't matter anyway, even if you did get back into it, if it is stolen it will soon be IMEI blacklisted and be useless as a phone in your country
Thread cleaned up a bit.
First of all, xda does allow threads regarding FRP bypass as long as it's clearly not for illegal purposes.
Second, if you think it IS for illegal purposes, report it! Don't reply as if you are a Moderator of this site or flame the member. This could land you in hot water.
I'll quote some of the rules here since it's MY job to do so:
2. Member conduct.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.5 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

Thanks but that post is actually incorrect. I assure you we do allow them unless it's clearly breaking the law. It all stems from the introduction of FRP when devices were being sold without the Google account being properly removed. Many users found themselves in this exact situation. They purchased a device that had been simply factory reset. Which was enough before the introduction of FRP but now when they set up their newly purchased device, they are asked for the previous owner's password.
Therefore xda has allowed these threads as well as the actual methods of bypass to be posted. There are legitimate uses.

Therefore xda has allowed these threads as well as the actual methods of bypass to be posted. There are legitimate uses.

Thanks for clearing it up
Bypass the huawei p30 lite frp. MAR-LX1M.
Has anyone found anything ?
My girlfriend forgot the pattern to her note 8. I had bought it for her barely two days before this. She's not at all tech savvy. Thinking she would fix before i found out, (I may occasionally poke fun at her forgetfulness), she googled the problem and was advised to do a factory reset. After the reset of course the frp kicked in. It would be a cake walk except her fogetfullness also kicked in. We've practically begged google to grant her access to her account again to no avail.
I've been working on bypassing it. I've done this for her a couple times in the past actually with other types of phones with success. You all are probably aware Samsung is a whole different ballgame. After a week this is what I know, or at least what I'm fairly sure is accurate from all the reading I've done.
1. The firmware is N950U1UES8DTF2.
2. I need usb debugging enabled to have a hope.
3. There currently is no combo file for this bootloader version.
4. There may be an option with an eng boot file flashed onto the phone?
Anyone know more about this and perhaps where I could download it or even how to make one. I've tried a couple different softwares that claim entering the ap from stock firmware will create the adb enable file. The two i tried this with however, did nothing when i flashed the resulting file with odin.
I'll take any advice anyone has. Maybe there's another route to enable usb debugging that I haven't explored? Hopefully there's something out there as I'm not a man of great means and two hundred and fifty is a great lot to lose on a phone.
Thanks in advance.
Pattern is easy removed with wipe data in stock recovery

Unfortunately you're going to have to figure this out for yourself because we do not help people and guide them on how to defeat the FRP and other protections.. You're basically saying she forgot her pattern and then after factory resetting it you're saying she forgot her password to?! That just doesn't sound right and there's a reason why Google refused to help you.. If it really is your phone you can take it to your cellphone carrier or Samsung and they'll fix it.

And figure it out I shall. For your information there are people with a tendency to forget quite a bit. Its hard for her but she makes up for anything she lacks not being a judgemental, small minded ass. Maybe try applying some common sense next time you're plotting out a withering retort genius. Its a carrier unlocked, as some of the more knowledgeable members can most likely glean from the firmware. Bought from ebay to use with her service. What do carriers say when you ask for their support with a handset not purchased from them and therefore not covered under warranty by their company? Yeah. And I guess youve never forgotten a google password and had to deal with their **** or you would have hesitated before letting that drivel roll from your tongue. I lost an email address there permanently once that was quite clearly 'mine'. They just wouldnt allow me access again because i forgot to change my recovery number when I changed my phone carrier.
Now despite your quite clear insinuations the phone is most definitely mine. The situation is just as described. And I guess what I really should have asked for is a question and answer type group comprised of individuals intelligent enough to know that in the case where frp keeps someone from using their own property on account of the fading memory of a loved a one, there must exist a way to continue using said property.
I hope you aren't representative of all your peers that are members here. I hope children make less assumptions in their judgement of others.

Let's see if anyone helps you then! With your attitude and name calling I can see I made the right choice and everyone else is going to see your attitude too and they're not going to want to help you. Being a little 6 year old name caller and crybaby isn't going to persuade anyone to help you. If you're too dim to understand that the FRP is there to protect stolen phones, and you're too dim to see that it seems suspicious when you say she forgot the pattern and then forgot the password right afterwards that's your problem!

As Stated before we will not help you to bypass the FRP Protection!
There is no way to prove what you say is the truth or total LIE!
You are the one that needs common sense! Ask yourself this, if my phone was stolen would you want someone to come to site like xda and ask for a work around FRP on your phone without giving proof and giving some sob story?
Wow! 2 posts and hes already bold enough to lash out. Sounds like a little spoiled petulant kid. Take your attitude elsewhere little child....
Alright so i bought a used galaxy s20 FE but apparently the owner before it didnt remove the google account. i cant get ahold of the guy anymore, so now i basically paid 400 bucks for a brick. ive been trying for a while to figure out a way to fix this, but i dont know much about phones. think i mightve been scammed tbh, but i paid in person and dont have any data on the guy. basically im screwed besides if i can get this to work. i thought maybe i could flash custom firmware and that could fix it, but for that id need to unlock the bootloader and i obviously cant access the device.
im super pissed and really dont know what to do anymore. ebay customer protection cant help either because i paid in person. im praying that any of you can help me. since i cant access the phone i dont know what security patch its on, but probably the most recent one.
not everyone will feel the same way but many people would be reluctant to offer advice in these situations.
if you have nothing to fear, visit a phone repair shop, tell them your story and leave them your full ID info.

Yeah that makes sense. Shouldve thought about that. Probably not very legal what im asking here. ill try in a phone shop as you recommended, and thanks for the input
Really make more change, if you consider the same "Carrier" Store, that You are planning to get your service from,
They can get it fixed for you, with latest software updates and ... Just have to find "That Person"
FWY- be nice! Be polite. Be 100% not you. These folks don't care. They dont have too. But, I know for fact, when you have the time, try it. I certainly think, it may be your only chance. So being nice, and polite, will get far, even more so, when you might say " Hey, I can wait...no problems"!!!
