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 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.

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
Hello,
I've bought a Mi 5 to my son and he changed the lock screen pin code and subsequently fogot it. Now, without being able to get passed screen lock login, without a recovery, how do I factory reset the phone?
I'm unsuccessful in unlocking the bootloader, the device (Mi 5) is not attached to the account. This attachment is done in the settings which I cannot access because I do not know the pin code.
I've found this article, but no response has been given yet : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/help/mi-5-dead-factory-reset-t3379029
How on earth do I reset the phone? Does anyone know how to do this?
Please please please help me out...

PS This is a cross post with this article, Ill update this post with whatever finding I get. http://en.miui.com/thread-1016219-1-1.html
Answering my own question:
Warning, this will erase everything on your phone, it's a factory reset.
Connect to your google account, use Find my phone, choose the device and continue logging in. Choose Consider erasing your device, then click Yes.
This will erase everything on the phone and will enable you to access the phone again after reinstalling.
I tried to unlock my phone with a fingerprint And the phone just cannot be
unlocked. It immediately going to the PIN screen, which I don't think I
have.
Tried with Android device manager, but loclisation is desabled
Is there any way I could reset it in other way?
I don't want to do factory reset this will erase all my data and I don't
want that.
please help and thanks
If you want to somehow unlock it, you will need to turn it's internet on (aka Data OR WiFi) and using your Google account, unlock it. It does not need location for that.
If that does not work, sorry but you'll have to factory reset it. Before doing that, try to get your personal data by plugging in a USB to a PC it already trusts. If that will won't work, your data will be unfortunately lost.
Try looking up a tutorial online, maybe they'll know how to hack the phone.
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
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.
