Phone locked out,

Hi there,
Friend of mine using Lenovo A6000+, Doesn't have google account in that phone. It was secured with the pattern lock. But unfortunately he forgot the unlock pattern. Since he have a lot of contacts in that phone, there is no way to reset it. Its full stock version. Just a basic user., so no root access or anything. In this scenario any other way to unlock the phone without doing a factory reset? The google answers are helpful only if the usb debugging is enabled. Since it is not rooted and basically a very common user used that phone, i don't think usb debugging is enabled. Any help appreciated.
By the way, i'm also thinking of flashing a custom recovery into the phone. Will that be of any help? Would it cause the phone to lose data? Will that need usb debugging enabled to do it?

I dont think, there's anything you can do about it. Ask him first, if he had ever connected to pc and authorized it for usb debugging. Otherwise, the only option left is to factory reset.
Edit: Brother, I'm working on something to change the pattern, which obviously I'll tell you. I'll make a flashable zip which you can flash through twrp. Lets see how this goes.
I'm not sure, if I'll be able to do it. But if it does, it would be very helpful for everyone.
:silly:
Edit 2: Finally I got it working!!! hurray!!
Just flash this zip below and the next time your phone boots, you can enter any "more than 3-dot" pattern and the phone will accept. Later, you can set new pattern or anything.

P.S. I used CWM recovery on stock KK to flash it. Don't know why but I couldn't manage to flash twrp. Who cares anyway, if our job gets done. :silly:

phone crashed - Fingerprint deleted - 120 Minutes lock after wrong

Hi,
yesterday evening my redmi 3s (http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_487801.html) crashed while I used facebook App.
it restarted
i gave in sim-Pin
but normally i use fingerprnt to unlock the phone - this does not work any longer - I tried to unlock the phone with my formerly used pattern but it does not work. perhaps i don't remember. perhaps it is erased, too?
now i can try a pattern each 120 Minutes - then phone is locked if pattern is wrong.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this? this is really important because i do not want to make new rom to the phone.
thank you in andvance

Always you Turn ON or reboot the phone, you must (Yes or Yes) get Unlocked with the Pattern or Pin, the Fingerprint do not work until the phone is unlocked at leat one time.
If you do not remember the Pattern or Pin, you sould to do a factory reset from recovery or flash MIUI rom via fastboot.

Question about wiping with twrp, dont know lock code

Hi, I'm trying to get my phone back. I lost my phones password that is used to unlock the phone.
I dont know my google account im using on the phone either. Yes this is my phone.
I dont want to get locked out with google frp either
If i put twrp on and do a factory wipe, will i still need the pin?
Also, my phone doesn't need the pin to boot. thanks in advance

No you won't need a pin in twrp if you have not encrypted the device..no you won't need pin to boot, but frp might get you..not sure how that works, I also feel like there are files you can delete through twrp to remove lock code, someone else will have to confirm this though, just something I heard

thanks but its not a concern now. I was on latest official ota update, flashed twrp but cant get lineage, or any custom rom to fully boot. It just gets to the logo screen and wont go any further. I have not used my moto a while.

FRP is disabled on unlocked bootloader.
PIN can be deleted with twrp's file manager.
LOS - you flashed wrong build. You need custom rom for N Modem. LOS by Hashbang works on N modem.

Any possibility to break lock pattern?

Hello, my friend gave my a Samsung Galaxy J510fn, because she forgot her lock pattern. Phone is not stole or something, as you might think first I got a login and password for google account registered on this phone if that would help. Phone has been using by woman so there is no things like custom recovery, root or usb debbuging turned on and it has stock firmware. Normally I will factory reset this phone but she said that she don't want to lose anything, specially photos, videos etc. I tried to unlock this pattern by programs like dr.fone or backup data by Kies but none of these are seeing this phone :crying:
So is there any possibility for cracking this phone without losing any data?

Back in the day you were able to remove pattern if you knew the samsung account details. Not sure if thats a thing anymore...

But when we boot phone for the first time it's force us to create samsung account or we can skip that step? Because she said that she didn't mention of creating samsung account. Even tried to search her ID through email but can't find anything.

then wiping everything is the only choice i guess

You can backup files from recovery mode (should be able to do it in stock recovery) I think (maybe copy to PC). Then make a factory reset.
Recovery Mode - Vol+, Home and Power buttons
Download Mode - Vol- , Home and Power buttons
And 2nd option. If you can, go to Download Mode and flash her TWRP! Make Nandroid backup there and then make factory reset. Flash TWRP via Odin of course.
But you must read how to enable USB Debugging if it is needed, I forgot how to

HEY HEY HEY.
Chill, boyes. Leave reset alone.
You can go to Google Find My Device and change something from there.

How many attempts to enter an unlock pattern will be accepted?

Hi to all.
I changed the unlock pattern of my Motorola G6 Plus (Evert). After that I forgot that change. I normally unlock the phone by fingerprint. Some long time later when I switched it off and on again it asked for the unlock pattern and I entered the void old pattern several times. Then I relized my mistake but could not remember the new pattern. So I tried to guess and did even more wrong entries. Now I think I remember most part of the new pattern, but 18 alternatives are left. I tried all of these but the device remains locked. The counter is at 170 invalid entries now. Does anyone know if the correct pattern will be accepted after so many false entries?
The Motorola helpdesk is not able to help. They don't answer that question clearly but tell me to change to fastboot mode and do a factory reset. Fastboot screen doesnt show up (is black) but fastboot is working. I tried to flash the stock rom from Motorola (without erasing the partition 'userdata') and got bootloader messages. No errors occured but the device is still locked.
Is there any way to bypass the lockscreen without loosing my data?

The one and only way needs an unlocked bootloader + an unencrypted data partition + TWRP. But in your case it's impossible. All you can do is to reset your device.

Dear WoKoschekk,
Thank you for the information.
I still have one question: If I enter the correct unlock pattern now, will it be accepted after so many false tries?
I think I already entered it correctly but I am not completely sure. So does it make sence to keep on trying?
Thank you for helping me.
