Hello guys,
My daughter forgot her unlock pattern and needs something important form her files.
Is it possible to bypass the lock screen without factory reset?
Is there any custom recovery like old times, with mass storage so I can access my phone storage from recovery?
Thank you!
I've got the same problem... plzzzz helllp...!

Hi, I have a S4 i9505 with a problem, screen broken and no display at all + usb debugging is disabled.
Phone: Not rooted, original software, usb debugging disabled, no display at all
What I want to achieve: restore all my photos / videos on the phone memory, no sd card
What I have attempted:
installed ADB & fastboot based on instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
What I need help with:
- When i try to get into recovery mode, i wasn't sure if i am indeed in there since i can't see anything, but in total there's a vibration when i turn on the phone, and another vibration when i release the power up+power+home after pressing them down for about 5 seconds.
- When in command prompt I type adb devices and there was none, and when i type adb shell it says error: device not found
I have ensured all drivers for my phone are installed (even with PdaNetA4180 & UniversalAdbDriverSetup6 from cynanogen) but the error remains. refer to attached image.
I have done extensive search on the forum but still couldn't find any ways to get usb debugging enabled on my crippled phone.
Any step by step guide would really be helpful! Thanks
Ps. Main problem = device not found in adb , usb debugging disabled, screen no display/cracked
What do you want? To recover files? To my knowledge that is not possible.
You would first need to flash a custom recovery for adb to work in recovery.
Then you would need to allow the connection on your device (which you can't do).
Yes I need to recover photos only. Nothing else.
Please kindly guide the steps on how to flash a custom recovery (w/o control of the phone's display or touch)
Thanks.
Your device is shown connected in windows
Why not use the mtp protocol and copy whatever you want
Hi, in the beginning, my phone is locked with a pattern pin.
I read the tutorials and managed to get away with the pattern pin by resetting my phone to factory settings via recovery mode i guess by watching youtube guide.
I didn't knew the photos and all will get deleted off from it, so there's nothing to transfer over when i got MTP working and able to access files inside the phone.
What do you recommend? Would fixing the screen and then using dr fone recovery works? or is there any other way to solve this without getting the phone display fixed? Thanks.
If the photos are deleted by the factory reset then i am sorry to day but you cannot recover them even if you get the screen fixed

Your photos are gone and there is no way to get them back.
Hi,
as my screen is defect, I want to sell my A310f in parts. Before that I obviously need to wipe it.
The following things I tried in the last days:
- wiping via ADB was not possible -> "unauthorized device" (I had no chance to put in USB-Debug-Mode [the phone should have been in this mode because I always put my phones in debug mode])
- wiping it straight from the phone -> I am on Marshmallow with stock recovery (had a custom recovery with custom kernel on Lollipop)
-> question1: when flashing Marshmallow, does it replace my custom recovery with the stock recovery?
-> question2: is the stock recovery in 6.0 identical to the one on Lollipop?
I assumed the recovery to be stock on my phone und to be identical to the one on Lollipop. So I booted my A310 in recovery and navigated blindly to wipe:
- 4*volume down
- 1* power
- 7*volume down
- 1* power
wait for some seconds
- 1* power
---> phone should have rebooted ... but it did not. It did not respond at all so I had to remove the battery.
After doing this I connected my phone via USB to my PC and tried to look if the internal SD has some more space (should be the case if the wipe was completed).
But now my PC doesn't show the internal SD in the explorer. Phone is charging as usual via USB.
Is this a good sign (wipe done) because the stock settings dont allow the PC to have access to the internal SD? Or did I screw up?
Thanks and regards,
blub

"unauthorized device" means you'll have to click OK on the pop-up dialog in the phones display before you can use adb.
You have to do when you connect to adb first time, or after a factory reset to authorize cumputer access to it.
Probably not that easy with a broken display.
Q1: Yes, it will overwrite recovery with stock one.
Q2:Yes, they should function the same.
Do you have a lock on your screen?
Computer won't get any access to internal memory before is unlocked.
If you havn't removed your accounts in phone, then it's probably frp lock on as well.
I once was in the same position but for another device, but I managed to find a engineering boot/sboot which allowed adb at all times.

Additional info: before the described "wipe" procedure I was able to access the internal storage via PC (without having to click something on the screen, as it wasn't possible because of the broken screen).
Just after this "wipe" it is now not possible to access storage.
How long does it take to wipe the data? I probably just waited for some seconds
Yes I had a lock screen on my A3 (but as described I could access the storage no problem).
Sry, I dont understand what youn mean by that:

Google is my friend...
The FRP lock would also suggest that the wipe was done correctly, right?

Well..I don't know. Maybe you successfully wiped it if you can't see anything on your computer.
FRP lock means that if you factory reset your phone with pin/pattern lock set AND have a google account activated on phone,
you will have to log in with your google account after factory reset before you can use it again.
It is locked to your google account.
(if you sell it and someone changes the screen, it still needs to be logged in to your google account before frp can be removed so he can use the phone)

Hi everyone!
I broke my S8 screen completely by dropping it (the phone is still working, not know if the touch still works).
I want to recover WhatsApp backup folder and DCIM folder (i had no backup service enabled, nor samsung account, nor google photo or gdrive), so i thought to go ahed through ADB. Anyway adb list no devices until i unlock my phone through pattern code ( i had no facial/retina/fingerprint mode set).
So i thought to proceed through download mode, flash twrp through odin and access adb through twrp. Anyway it looks like i cannot use odin to flash until i trigger on "OEM Unlock" in developer options which i can't do no more cause of the broken screen.
Is there another way to enable OEM Unlock which doesn't require touch input? Or is there any other way to recover my two folders?
A big thanks for everyone who could help
You can use an otg adapter and a mouse and try to replicate your pattern code and after your in just transfer your files. If you happen to have a second cell phone I would suggest you practise a bit on that screen first so you can replicate the exact movements to unlock your phone. Had an issue with my s6 edge and that worked like a charm.

If you don't know how to recover data from S8 phone, just use an Android data recovery software, it can help you recover data from an broken Android device, it is really simple to finsih the recovery process. And you can preview and recover the data from your broken phone, so that you don't lose these data.

Yep, that's the best thing you can do.

Log into Samsung Find my mobile. Use your Samsung Account details to log in.
There you will see alot of options that you can perform on your Galaxy S8 remotely.
Use the remotely unlock my device option to unlock your device.
Then connect your phone to the Laptop or PC using data cable and recover the data.
Hope it helps.
Hi all,
I have a problem, my phone does not start.
*It loads normally
*I can access the System Recovery / Custom OS
I have tried to:
*wipe cache partition
*load dr.fone and access phone
pc connects but problem is USB debugging not enabled
another thing is that dr. fone does not support my model/build
I am a newbie / amateur to this kind of stuff, but I´m willing to try if it is possible to get my personal info out before going for factory reset.
Can anybody help me with this? What could be the problem behind this? Would it help to try to load an alternative OS through SD to get the phone live again? Does that wipe the memory too?
Is it possible to access memory without debugging enabled? I tried to launch ADB platform for WIN, but encountered problems. "adbwinapi.dll not found" or similar...
Please help, tomorrow is monday and I´ve got to work and without a phone I have serious problems.
Thanks in advance!

Have you try to flash the firmware with ODIN?
As you mention you can access recovery and wiped your phone
Try to get correct firmware for your device and flash it with ODIN(You have to enter download mode)
If this help you, press Thanks button!
Hello!
After upgrade of sw reset was made and I needed to put password for fingerprint unlock, which I don't remember.
Is there a way to unlock it or at least backup data from phone? I don't want to make factory reset.
Phone is not rooter, so no recovery mode...
Also USB debugging is not enabled. This would also help if someone can help with that.
Please help!
