There is a way to bypass the login password? I forgot it
I need to recover my data and i understand that the request is somewhat suspicious
I can add this info:
Android 7.1.1
No Root
Boot Loader OEM - Locked
USB Debug - Disabled
Thank you

Hello all,
I'm in possession of a Huawei P8 Lite of which the owner lost the passphrase. The question is whether the photos on the device can still be recoved. The bootloader of the device is currently locked. Debug mode is not enabled (nor is my computer authorized).
I was hoping that it would be possible to unlock the bootloader (which supposedly does not trigger a factory reset on this model?) - and then install a custom recovery from where I could backup the pictures. In order to unlock the bootloader, I would need IMEI-1 + IMEI-2 and the S/N. I was able to obtain one of the IMEIs by typing *#06# on the emergency call screen. Is there a way to obtain the other codes somehow (perhaps via fastboot)? Once I obtain the necessary information, my assumption is that I would be able to get an unlock code from Huawei after which I can unlock from fastboot. (Or does OEM unlock still need to be enabled from the developer options in Android?)
Edit: seems like the S/N is shown when connecting in fastboot mode and listing "fastboot devices".
Edit2: seems like obtaining the IMEI through the emergency call functionaltiy combined with the S/N is enough: I modified the "Product ID Generator" tool to include the "ALE-L21" model, and now it generates valid Product IDs that can be used on the Huawei website to obtain an unlock code.
Alternatively, I've noticed that there's an "emergency data backup" mode on this model, which I accidentally entered. I was hoping anyone knows more about this mode (note that this is different from the fastboot & rescue mode). I got booted into this mode because somehow the ext4 partition failed to mount during one of the many times I rebooted the phone. This mode also allowed me ADB access - however, this was a rescue OS which did not actually contain the user data. I would like to attempt to boot into this mode again, gain root access via a kernel exploit, and either read out the unlock code from /dev/block/mmcblk0p** or directly copy the media onto an SD card. Does anyone know how to "trigger" booting into this mode? The kernel code for the p8 lite seems to have a flag "CONFIG_FEATURE_HUAWEI_EMERGENCY_DATA" which enables this feature.
Pointers welcome
Note, I'm not desperate to recover the data - but this has become more of a "challenge" I'd like to solve.
Edit: I was able to unlock the bootloader with details obtained from the device. Unlocking the device did not initiate a wipe. Now it comes down to installing a recovery image and pulling the data

Now simply install twrp, connect to PC and you will be able to see all the files in Explorer

With twrp you can delete lockscreen specific files to remove lock

If you think about this, you can see how easy it is to unlock a phone (also for bad purposes...)
Agreed, I'm surprised that Huawei didn't force a device wipe before allowing OEM unlock. Especially because you can obtain all the details you need from the phone to obtain an unlock code on the Huawei website.
I indeed ended up installing TWRP and remove the password.key file to remove the lock
HI,,,,
i have Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9500 and i want to put password in boot-loader , so im using Philz_recovery and set password in recovery . i need to this to protect my phone if i lost it form any one can to change rom
thanks
Smartphones don't have a BIOS like a computer would. On a computer you can set a BIOS password as it in effect is its own operating system. Enter the password and the BIOS initializes what it needs to do then passes control to the bootloader.
On a smartphone, while there is low level firmware like a BIOS, there is no way of accessing it by the ordinary person, thus no need of a password prompt. The bootloader doesn't have a password because its only job is to set up the device environment for the operating system. Thus the only way to password protect a device is through a pattern lock, pin number, or password on Android's lock screen.
One last thing: Philz is two years out of date. Use TWRP instead.
thanks for your reply , helpful answer , but i want to know how can i protect my phone if stolen that some one cannot change the rom by go to download mode and using Odin so( if i put password in android lock screen , and put password in custom recovery and put password in download mode It will make it difficult to change the rom and make my phone unusable)
any Suggestions
thanks
If you had truly read my post you would have noticed two things.
1. Password protection of the bootloader (and download mode) isn't available.
2. Focus on securing the data.
So the answer to your request for suggestions is simple. Don't lose your phone.
All you can do is encrypt the phone, use Android Device Manager, and use a strong password.
Hello there, I've forgotten the pin on my Huawei, I've also the bootloader unlock code BUT... I had not enabled the Usb debugging, neither the oem unlock option through the developer options. Having all my datas not synced with google I can't make an hard reset.
Googling around I've found many update.zip files that could remove the PIN so I could set a new lockscreen password, but it seems that huawei stock recovery wants only update.app files. How can i fix this? I'm getting crazy! :crying:
I didn't realize these tablets had a lock out feature where you would need the previous user to login first before you can login with your Google account. I'm trying to talk to the previous user who was logged in (actually 2 owners before me, device had broken screen that I fixed) but they aren't responding. So how can I unlock this and bypass this stupid lock out feature? I've been trying to follow the guides here to unlock the bootloader with no luck. I can no longer "enable usb debugging" because I'm locked out of Android. I can access recovery and fastboot fine. Any help??
Nevermind I figured out how to bypass the Factory Reset Protection!! For anyone wondering, just search youtube for how to bypass it for whatever android version you have
I recently purchased a used A20 (SM-S205DL) the previous owner's child locked the device and forgot the pin. I was told it didnt have FRP activated so i mistakenly hard reset it without checking odin mode first. Now i have no way to set up the device or enable usb debugging. I have firmware and some basic knowledge of flashing via odin. Although i have only used it to unbrick a device roughly 5 years ago. How can i either remove FRP via odin mode or download mode without usb debugging turned on. I have no preference on how to gain access to the device. If frp cannot be removed could the device be completely wiped and made into a basic Linux device? I have no preference on what is done i only want to have some use out of it
Factory Reset Protection exists to prevent the use of stolen devices. Unfortunately, this can become rather inconvenient in other circumstances where for some reason the Google account the device was locked on isn't available.
While FRP unlock services exist, we here on XDA tend to err on the side of caution due to the potential for criminal activity.
Try flashing vbmeta.img (UNLOCK BOOTLOADER)
Try this:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.
Hello everyone, I got a phone Galaxy A 20 and called Boost mobile to sim unlock the phone, what they did. When done I factory reseted the phone. Now when I try to add an account I got a "your phone was factory reset., type the password to...
