Hi,
Could somebody with root access make a test and check if it is possible to recover deleted files (using one of available apps like disc digger) from build-in solution "File safe"?
I have contacted support and the said "NO". Would do it but it will void warranty so I'm kindly asking someone who already has rooted the phone.
I'm just wondering to do this test by my own. However 2 questions rised:
1. To have unlocked BL - do I need a code or just enabling OEM unlock is enough ?
2.As unlock of BL will erase whole userdata partition is it worth it to recover then files that have been deleted twice? Chances from 0 to 100%?
Thanks for replay

Hey guys,
last weekend my Huawai P9 battery got empty over the night and on the next morning after charging i noticed that the phone ask me for a password. Before i just used my finger sensor to get back into it but as you know after a complete restart it ask for the set password.
The problem is that i do not remember it in any way and right now i am @ 1 hour waiting time between the attempts.
I really don't want to delete and reset the phone and loose all my data. So i hope someone can help me to solve that problem to get back access to my phone without loosing all data.
Phone data:
Name: Huawai P9
Model: EVA-L09
Latest official available Android update installed.
No Root, No Modification
What i have tried so far:
1. Google Android Manager
I logged into my google account and tried to reset the password but google tells me it cant replace the password because its already active. So looks like that reset way only works for pin and gesture phones but not for ones that already have an active password.
2. dr.Phone
I have downloaded dr.phone toolkit for android and tried the unlock locked screen option but it tells me that the phone is not supported.
3. ADB / Fastboot
I installed ADB and fastboot on my system and tried to connect the phone to delete the password.key file. ADB is running on my windows but it does not get any connection to the phone because the phone has no developer option enabled and i am not able to enable it because it cant access it.
Fastboot does detect my phone but yea i cant delete a file with it right?
Greetings,
Chris
I would pay for a working solution so please help me to find a solution.

-I could only imagine that you are able to unlock your bootloader with DC Phoenix (normal bootloader unlock would cause data loss and u would need DC Phoenix for the oem lock)
-Maybe u are able to flash TWRP recovery with DC Phoenix and backup your files from there but i dont know if TWRP works without an unlocked bootloader.
-All in all DC Phoenix is a risky tool.

Stop stop stop.....
Is your phone under warranty? If it is, dont touch the bootloader or flash anything. Send it back to Huawei to fix it.
If its no longer under warranty, is it requesting a password to unlock your phone or is it the password for decrypt storage? And last question, do you use the finger print scanner to unlock your phone?
only solution with bootloader locked is the wipe data/factory reset inside erecovery
Hey guys n girls,

I was excited to use it on my phone but then found out only Sony phones work I guess...

First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.
Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.
Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.
Third with adb flash twrp.
And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .
Keep walking.
Thanks. Any chance you can attach links for downloads for PC and also files. If u can add tutorials I can follow those too. I have rooted couple times before but if I do the moto that's my actual phone and I don't want to mess it up. Will it mess with my plan or screw me over in any way? I've only done phones I don't use.
Thanks again for any help
So Ive been reading and need a little help.
1. I have moto x2014 (is it pure edition?)supposedly. (It's at&t white front wooden back 8gb. Believe 5.1.1) I need to know so I can do the first step.

First off thanks for your help and anybody else who may contribute.
ive been trying to listen and follow lol. anything with (...) is stuff
i added
First you must unlock bootloader from official motorola site.
Google unlock moto x 2014 and do it.
(the link you added brought my to a page i click next and tryed to sign up
it said i had an account so i signed in with the email on my phone an then it
brought me to a page that wasnt available. So do you have another link or is
there something im missing. im having trouble unlocking it)
Second you must download adb and fastboot to your pc.
(i downloaded
*minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup application
*motoroladevicemanager_2.5.4 application)
Third with adb flash twrp.
(few things.
*adb is just command prompt right?
*flash? i know means install sorta of. do you have command line?
*the link had three things to click on
1.this was on white screen
58337e4962e12d37f740a417601db4e3 twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img
2. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara disc /image file
3. twrp-3.1.1-0-victara.img.asc /asc file)
And last flash supersu with tuttorial from xda .
(once again, flash? im assuming i just need command line like,
adb install supersu.apk.
*also files i downloaded were
1. update-supersu-v2.76-20160630161323 /compressed zip
2. root-boot-6.0-xt1097-mpes24.49-18-7 /compressed zip)
***So is there any files im missing to root?
How do i unlock my bootloader or whatever it is? (link didnt work for me)
What is flash?(i think install)
it says my device does not qualify to unlock bootloader. so yea I don't want to give up but that killed my hopes. I can get into fasboot flash mode and have boot mode selection menu and it says device is still locked. I got the link to work and used fastboot oem get_unlock_data used their program to have same layout for unlock code and it says your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking. if anyone can help thanks

Some variants of the Moto X 2014 cannot be unlocked. Put the phone in Bootloader Mode and:
fastboot getvar all
Copy and save all the info into a Notepad file, then go to the Moto/Lenovo Forums here:

I understand that I cant, but don't get how there isn't a way around it. once again thanks people. this is a bummer...........................

if i unlock my phone from at&t would that help?
Hello there,
I have questions about my rooted Lumia 925.
I bought it used, with the latest Firmware. Then I loaded up the correct Firmware with Windows Device Recovery Tool, then I unlocked the bootloader, and now I have root access.
I wanted to load up Win10, I haven't made yet, as my phone works fine.
My very 1st question is: IF I'll be successfull with the OS-update, will I lose the root access later on?
I know I could flash the phone back to Win 8.1 but actually the very annoying part is to customize again the device.
Moreover I have a huge problem with "Back-up" built-in function of my WinPhone. I NEVER had a successful back-up of app, settings and SMS... Fortunately my contatcs are secured as they are synced with my account, but that's all.
This bring me to the 2nd question:
ANYONE HAS N IDEA HOW TO FIX THE BACKUP PROBLEM?! ... my phone backs-up pictures and Video on OneDrive BUT NOT the Apps and Settings and SMS...
I got this idea: since I have no chance to back-up my data and settings, what IF make a Back-up of all partitions let's say once a week, following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-lumia-520/development/make-backup-windows-phoneguide-t3628612 or using WPInternals, do I keep my contatcs/sms/settings/apps and so on ?!?
Anyone can confirm this ?
3rd question concerns UPDATE.
since i loaded the firmware 3051.50009.1424.0010 I keep getting this annoying message "there is a critical update, do you want to download it?" If I press on "agree" the phone gets the Firmware 3051.50009.1451.1011 . Then I lose all superuser rights... I tested it.
Is there a way to DISABLE the update completely? Like on Windows Desktop ?!?!
I have to say I got lucky here.
WPINTERNALS warns :
Updating your phone
After you unlocked the bootloader or enabled Root Access, you MUST disable Windows Updates on your phone. Future updates may corrupt the SecureBoot modifications and your phone may not boot anymore.
After you unlocked the bootloader or enabled Root Access, you can only update your Windows Phone by flashing a new Custom ROM which is based on the latest OS version.
Well I did this:
With "ROOT ACCESS ACTIVED" I pressed on agree to get the critical update. The updated failed. The Package has been downloaded but could not be applied (ERROR 800..... don't remember the error-code)
With "ROOT ACCESS DISABLED" the update has been made w/o errors.. and I had for a while the 3051.50009.1451.1011 ... no bootloader corruption !!! , then switched back to 3051.50009.1424.0010 to keep root access.
BUT can I get rid completely of this annoying message about the UPDATE !??!?! I do not want to challenge my luck again.
OR can I block completely the Win-Update process ?!?
OR can I force the phone to check on 127.0.0.1 instead of checking the Microsoft servers thorugh a registry modification?!?
OR could I modify the HOST file instead !? If I would know the server name, I could try to limit the contact by adding 1 line to the HOST file, something like: 127.0.0.1 windowsupdate.microsoft.com !?
Would this work!?
3rd question: I searched long about this... it seems nobody knows... well I try and ask it directly: is there any way to change the GUI ?
I want to know IF / HOW throug registry
1) I can change the tiles fill-colors using custom HEX or RGB format,
2) I can tiles outline/symbols color instead of using the annoying WHITE using HEX or RGB values.. (my idea is to make a "total-black" GUI with darkgrey symbols... )
3) If I can change phone FONTS (dream)
4th question:
My phone is branded Vodafone (as it has 32GB memory) I would like to unbrand it and use the nice computer Boor Screen "Energy Star" . I read I have to make actually a Custom-ROM since the splash-screen is part of the firmware. OK. So following WPINTERNALS, I can select a source FFU-file and extract the EFIESP partition and MainOS partition.
WPINTERNALS says: "You can enable Root Access on these partitions"
Well HOW?
If they are not on the phone how can I enable the root access and how can can I customize MainOS if it is on my Desktop Hard-Drive ?!?
I'm sure I do need another tool for that... Any hint for me please?! Anybody?
Then ok... "After you have unlocked the bootloader of the phone, you can flash the custom ROM to the phone". that's easy.
Last question, just curiosity: is there a SHELL in Win 8.1 mobile ?!
It wuold be nice to have sometime a hack-library divided by phone sometime.... hope that XDA mods will think about it.
With WPINTERNALS for WinPhones there is a fully new world to discover.
Thanks everyone for your answers.
In case you decide to reply, please be kind... since I cannot read your mind nor I have any "palantir" nor divination skills, try to explain things esaly.... e.g. as you would explain them to your dog.... :good:
Have unlocked bootloader and rooted old Nokia lumia 925 through WPINTERNALS... As I did not have many apps or games on it I would like to install some but now am stuck for how to get apps to phone or even is there a custom rom I can flash to it?...any help please..
PS: Phone is on windows 8.1 CYAN, I have made a full backup to pc with WPINTERNALS just in case anything goes wrong/
PS:-All fixed now and can now deploy xap
Ok so I have an issue I need help with. My kids deleted some photos. I can recover them with diskdigger, but of course it's only the thumbnail images. I read in order to get the originals I need root access. I can't get root access because I have a locked bootloader (I tried various root programs until I figured this out). Everything I read about rooting past a bootloader means flashing something and I will lose what I am trying to recover. Is this true or is this just a warning that this may happen? Is there any program or any way anyone knows around this problem so I can get to the original recovered photos and not just the thumbnail images? I have flashed tablets and phones before so I am comfortable doing so, but I fear in doing that it will not solve the original problem of trying to recover the photos. Any help is greatly appreciated! I will post the specs below, thanks.

Other than paid profesionals disk digger is your best bet
Try to shut the device off asap if possible the files have been marked for deletion but still reside in memory addresses. Every second the device is on id more and more that have actually been wiped as new data gets wrote over those spots
Hi, guys, I have problem with my phone:
MI 9 cepheus global
Locked bootloader
No xiaomi account ever connected to the phone
In a boot loop after OTA update from stock 12.0.5 to stock 12.5.1
adb sideload update failes every time
I know that I can flash the phone via EDL or wipe the data and adb sideload the update. But I would like to save my data and my pictures that somehow did not sync with the google account for a year.
(History: I bought two phones of the same type. The screen of the aforementioned phone had a slightly broken screen that I paid to be replaced by Xiaomi and it was also reflashed by them. When it came back everything was wiped and while setting it I must have forgotten to click sync pics. The Xiaomi support is sadly not helpful at all and keeps asking the same questions and spinning me in a circle. They also did not agree that it is their fault although it only happened to the phone they serviced and apparently you have to have at least 10GB of free storage to update otherwise the phone gets bricked easily. Sadly I lost a lot of time, hopes and effort in describing the problem but they answer with standard messages, refusing to help on unlocking the bootloader or giving EDL account. Their only offer was sending it to a service center for paid mainboard replacement.)
So I am on my own here and after reading a lot and came to the following ideas:
EDL flash but commenting the userdata lines in partition.xml and rawprogram0.xml so they will not be overridden. Will it work? Do I need to comment other lines?
Transfer the IMEI to my second phone and register it in Xiaomi. This way I can hopefully unlock the bootloader on the bricked phone because Xiaomi will think with it is connected to the account. The risk is to break my working phone.
Man in the middle intercept (with Fiddler) my working phone and replace the REST request with the IMEI of the bricked phone. But I need to root the working phone in order to install new trusted root CA.
Complete backup through EDL with Hydra for example? -> Flash with EDL -> register the phone -> unlock bootloader -> restore the backup –> use shell or twrp to access the files.
Flash over EDL a script that will delete all files in the download folder. I know it is possible over fastboot but I do not know about EDL.
What should I try first and what would probably work best? I would appreciate any help, experience or tools on the above ideas. Is there more to try out? Will the second phone help somehow?
OT: Thanks to all the forum members for posting their knowledge. You saved me a lot of time during the decades!
While trying 5. I firstly wrote "fastboot oem lock" and "fastboot oem unlock". My phone started counting progress and booted but all the data was gone. I have a working phone but no data and I don't know what happened. I am closing the thread because I cannot proceed recovering the data.
