Lately, I had a problem with the lock pattern; I am not able to unlock the phone even when I enter the right schema!
I had this problem for the first time 3 weeks ago and happily it was solved with a simple restart but sadly this time not.
So, I am locked out of my phone.
I have:
Nokia 8 TA-1012
Android 9
USB Debugging: Disabled
Stock recovery
Phone is not rooted
After 6 days of researching to solve this problem without losing my data and trying desperately the most solutions published in internet, it still for me one solution to test before doing a Hard Reset.
The solution is described as:
Unlock the bootloader
Install a custom recovery
Install Aroma File Manager
Delete gesture.key file
My question is:
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery without the need to enable USB Debugging?
Or if there is any other solution to unlock the phone without losing the data?
Thank you.

Dear all,
I have unlock my boot-loader without USB debugging on and try to push recovery file inside,
I realized my mistake few days ago when I am not able to enter on recovery mode, I have search all the forums to find solution, and some suggested to re-lock the boot loader, I performed the re lock process, and then unlock it with boot-loader on. Which result in everything erase,
But still I cant enter into recovery mode. Can somebody advice what is the problem. I think as I was doing rooting without debugging it create some errors, now what I understood to installed RUU and lock the phone.
Please advice, if that will solve my problem of rooting, I can not so S-OFF as well.
Problem :
Un look the boot loader without debugging on.
Push the rooted file without debugging on
Solution
?
Please advice,
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Figured I will ask the experts here. My mate dropped his S5 Mini a few days ago, since then the touch screen does not work so he can't put in a pattern to unlock the phone. New screen prices in South Africa is ridiculous, especially for a 3 year old phone. I want to help him get his photo's off the phone but the we can't do the pattern unlock and S5 mini does not support OTG cables, so we can't use a PC mouse etc. Also can't enable USB debugging obviously.
I'm thinking of trying via the Recovery loader or whatever you all it. The stock recovery does not seem to allow mounting of the various partitions via ADB from what I have read, so will I need to flash a custom Recovery like TWRP 3.0.0? Also see you need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash a custom recovery. I presume rooting the device with CF-Auto-Root will unlock the boot loader? I can then load the custom recovery after doing the root?
Rough process would be.
1. Boot Download mode -> Flash CF-auto-root -> Reboot | From what I have read this is safe and does not trash any data as its a separate partition?
2. Boot Download mode -> Flash custom recovery -> Reboot | From what I have read this is safe and does not trash any data as its a separate partition?
3. Boot Recovery Mode
Any help would be appreciated as I really dont want to trash his data.
Cheers

A locked bootloader will prevent cf-auto-root from even flashing.
The rest is correct.

Hi,
I have the same problem (phone is pin-looked instead of pattern) and i would love to use your solution.
Could someone give me a little bit more information to the mentioned steps?
So I decided to root my huawei honor 8 and I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and flashed root and it didn't work so I searched forums and flashed something that put my honor 8 in bootloop. Then I downloaded latest update and put in on sd card and updated phone from sd. So when I was in stock recovery I did factory reset and then my phone booted up without half of pre-installed apps, keyboard (I installed keyboard from sd card), Bluetooth and usb debugging are turning off automaticly when I turn them on and when I tried to fix it oem unlocking got turned to off and its greyed so I can not install twrp to try to fix it from there (bootloader is still unlocked I still get message when I turn on my phone) and I can't recover my files from HiSuite. If anyone knows how could I fix this I would really appriciate it. (I'am not native english speaker so I'am sorry for my bad grammar)
hi friends, i need so much your help!.
I have xaiomi mi5, the operating system of the cellphone has been updated, and then the device has entered the loop.
He can not get up at all.
I've tried to do so far:
FAST BOOT - but even the computer can not read the device despite all the permissions I have approved for the computer.
MIPCSUIT - does not work well because the computer does not recognize the device.
Your help must be smart and good people!
I am also stuck with the same problem.
At least I can get fastboot.
I think if you OK to loose data then just go to recovery mode with Volume up + power button pressed together. And wipe all. This may solve the problem. But I don't want to loose data I am skipping this option.
If any one knows other way to unbrick without full wipe then please let us know.
Thanks
have you unlocked bootloader?
you can try run by fastboot twrp recovery mode.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
after few seconds phone boot to recovery, you can encrypt the phone and copy data.
twrp is here
My bootloader is locked I think.
I tried that command. Didn't boot to twrp.
Any other way.
Anyway Thanks for suggesting.
Are you on latest MIUI global stable? I think Xiaomi's guys ****ed it up this time around and got bootloop for everybody on latest update.
Take a read here and good luck: http://en.miui.com/thread-2776961-1-1.html

Hello,
I had similar issue.
To be able to start phone/miui you should remove sim card,
in my case it was connected to connecting to cell network that caused reboot.
Than it will be possible to update phone using WiFi.
For me issue was solved with V9.5.2.0.NAAMIFA update.

I tried version gemini global images v10.2.2.0. OAAMIXM 2019115 GLOBAL but failed then tried v8.11.22.20181122.000 8.0 GLOBAL but failed then 2 month later i tried with good battery and good on off and main important is version GEMINI GLOBAL IMAGES 6.11.10 _20161110 and version GEMINI GLOBAL IMAGES V7.2.4.0.MAAMIDC 20160129. AND GUESS WHAT SUCCESS. NEVER TRY WITHOUT BATTERY AND WITHOUT EDL POINT. EDL POINT FOR UNLOCKING BOOTLOCK AND DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FLASH FILES WITH GOOD INTERNET WITHOUT INTERUPPT SO FLASH SUCCESS. MY 2 MOTHERBOARD OF MI5 SAVED WITHOUT HARDWARE. HOW TO KNOW SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE....1ST CHECK CHARGING HAPPENING OR NOT IN SWITCH OFF AND CAN IT GO TO FASTBOOT MODE OR RECOVERY MODE. IF ALL THIS GOOD GO FOR FLASH IN SAME PROCESS. OTHERWISE HARDWARE AS STATED THAT RESISTOR ALSO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN BOOTING OR STUCK AT MI LOGO. MOISTURE IN PHONE UNDER IC REQUIRE HEAT WITH PASTE AT HARDWARE LEVEL.
I accidentally flash my phone with official rom in miflassh with flash_all_lock.bat option now after i reboot my phone there had a message file storage corrupted your device is unsafe now. I try to again unlock the bootloader but mi account cannot activate my sim. tried with new sim and account but no reasult. Always says couldnt verify your sim card. for this, i cannot turn on the find device and add account with my phone. I tried all searched ways but no reasult. i tried downgrade with rename rom method, try xiamitoolv2 no reasult.
Now pleas can anyone help me to unlock the bootloader with any idea. It will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Can you still boot into fastboot mode?
If so,
1. For newer devices (2015 and higher):
fastboot flashing unlock
2. For older devices (2014 and lower)
fastboot oem unlock
I had the same problem a month ago and finally solved, you should make some changes to a file of the official ROM released by Xiaomi and re-flash it by activating the Qualcomm 9008 mode, in which you can ignore the bootloader lock
