Ok, so I have been researching for days trying different ways to bypass the pattern lock/too many failed attempts. Normally I'd just hard rest no problem...
Well, this is different. A friend who is a Private Investigator recovered this phone from the scene of a car accident. I didn't get a lot of the story, but apparently this guy was in a car accident and they need his texts/pics from the phone that night (a couple years ago). The phone belongs to the defendant who needs these to prove innocence.
This is a HTC Hero HBOOT 1.4, USB debugging not enabled, pattern lock exceeded attempts. I need to either break the lock or get the pattern from the phone. I have searched:
Root from fastboot
Root from adb
Mem dump fastboot (find key hash etc)
Mem dump adb
QPST mem dump
Also, a few other more that led me from these other searches. Basically, for anything requiring adb the device appears offline. I can only get it to show in ADB DEVICES when its in recovery, but still only offline. Everything else has failed, I found one half reliable CWM via fastboot guide but it seems to wipe system memory.
Is there anything else I can do? Have I missed anything? At this point, anything will help getting read from QPST, adb dump, break lock idk.
Hi, I am trying to get into stock recovery to factory reset my partners xperia z3 compact. She set a pin but must have hit an incorrect digit and now we cant unlock. I thought having a gmail account linked allowed us to reset via gmail but it does not appear to work. I have seen tutorials to get into recovery but none seem to work. What are my options?
Thanks
Ady
As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is using Sony's PC software: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaz3compact/tools/pc-companion/
I would love it if someone found another way to do it though, like using flashtool or something.
Actually i found there is and it elimated so much headache. So long as you have gps enabled you can use the Android device manager throgh your pc to wipe the phone remotely. Hey presto all done. Sony pc companion would have worked but as the phone is locked its not detected by the software!? Go figure.
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

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
Due to some personal issues, I was not using my phone since the past 6 months. Now when I started it back, I am not able to enter the proper screen lock(Pattern) and I never ever made an account on myXperia. I tried many ways which included google find my device but find my device is not allowing me to change screen lock, it just allows to make sound and "Lock and erase" option which basically does nothing.
I actually need my data intact and after a little search on internet, I came to know that i need to unlock my bootloader and then flash a recovery and remove the screen lock file but unlocking bootloader will result in factory reset and hence my data will be lost.
By default the phone doesn't allow usb debugging when connected to pc, if some how I am able to allow usb debugging then I can recover my data.
Please help guys.
I have a nexus 6 device, recently the phone dropped and the digitilizer stopped working, but as i was searching for ways to backup data the screen went completely blank as well, the data is extremely important.
The phone is working perfectly debugging is off and it has a pin lock, i cant get data off by connecting a USB as it requires to unlock the device which i cant.
Serching the forums some people have mentioned they used WUG's toolkit to unlock bootloader without losing data! is it possible or am i missing something?
example: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/enable-usb-debugging-recovery-t3434971
What i want:
1. Enable adb somehow
2. The only option i see in to flash custom recovery but that requires unlocking bootloader, i cant delete my data.
I also can't find a replacement LCD for this phone where i live suppliers don't ship here

You can't do anything without "USB debugging" so you have to replace the screen.
