I bought a Galaxy Tab E on the cheap (legally). I don't know the owner nor will I, but FWIW I can at least prove legal ownership of the tablet. Problem is that I wiped it via the bootloader and now am faced with FRP doing its thing.
Some tutorials involved turning on voice mode by holding down two fingers, then drawing an L on the screen to invoke assistive mode settings, and a few other steps after that to be able to browse to google and continue through circumventing FRP. Drawing the L does nothing, so I'm kinda at a loss.
Is there some way to reliably bypass FRP if the draw-an-L trick doesn't work?

Hello,
I use my tablet at work, and sometimes i need to lock the tab when one ventures into another office for a while, and i am wondering whether the tablet is safe from people trying to get at its files?. Basically i saw the S2 problem with the lock screen, and it could easily be opened and that the lock screen should have an "immediate" timeout, i was wondering if this is necessary as i have a "5 seconds" timeout. Also is one able to get access to the tab via usb, eventhough debugging mode is disabled?

Whether 5 seconds is suitable or not is your decision. As for USB, the device won't appear on your computer unless you unlock it first.
Regarding the security hole on the galaxy S2, where you could bypass the lock screen by waiting out the timeout, and the only fix was to set it to "immediate", is this problem also inherent on the galaxy tab?

I don't think so...
USB debugging is accessible while the device is in the recovery mode, so the lock screen won't stop anyone from getting at the files if they know what they are doing.
Surely if the device is encrypted, and the device is in recovery mode, you wont be able to get to the files?.. My concern is if one steps away from the tab and its locked, is there a way to bypass the lock screen?, i have searched all over google, and cant seem to find anything that says one can bypass the honeycomb lock screen. I know the S2 had a flaw that you could
Hello,
I have a problem with my "sharp softbank aquos 402SH
I setup a pattern lock. Since I have not used the phone for some time I cannot remember the pattern anymore.
I thought an unlock with a hard reset is no problem. But I found no way to boot into recovery mode(tried power and minus button, power and plus button to boot).
Also the device did not show up in adb as a device(Windows 8/Sharp USB driver installed) but was recognized as a storage device.
The user manual says:
"Do not forget pattern, Lock No. passcode or password set for canceling Screen lock(write it down if necessary). If you forget it, visit the nearest SoftBank Shop for recovery procedure."
As I live in Sudan and there are only softbank stores in Japan. So this is not possible for me.
Is there any other way to hard reset the device?
same prob

Are you sure? Have you tried power-cycling the device? (Let it discharge all the way, and charge it all the way.)

As I think this phone did not get that many updates this might still work. I remember early on back then that i somehow managed to make a pattern that I had not meant to so could not unlock. Also quickly found out I could not get into the bootloader. But I found out you could bypass the lockscreen if you went into the emergency call screen. The thing is, you'd have to make a call then you could use the drop down notifications and enter settings app or something like that. I can't remember clearly, but I could atleast get access. And from there i just disabled the pattern. Don't feel I can recommend this though as it depends on how quick you are, and police services are sort of being misused this way. I remember being frazzled and extremely annoyed at that point as I had only had the phone for a couple of days. Ended up spamming a call three or four times to the cops to bypass without connecting a call. They called me back wondering what the deal was ? oops.
Hey guys, I really need your help, today I had to wait for my little sister to finish an exam, but because I had like 8 percent of battery life I turned on the Ultra power saving mode on my S7 Edge, I clicked accept then waited for the lock screen to show up, I swiped to unlock my phone with my password and the keyboard doesn't pop up, I keep tapping and trying, restart the phone, tried again, nothing, booted into recovery to wipe cache didn't do anything neither, booting into safe mode was another waste of time, and then I realized I had disabled the samsung keyboard some months ago in order to switch completely to the GBoard keyboard (I thought this may save battery life), I don't remember if I deactivated it normally or through some package disabler. And since the Ultra Power Saving Mode deactivates most apps, it deactivated my GBoard, and since the samsung keyboard was also disabled, it didn't bring the keyboard up, I can't disable the ultra power saving mode because I need to INPUT THE PASSWORD WITH NO KEYBOARD, and fingerprints are also disabled so I'm pretty much locked out, I was wondering if there was anything I could do, like a command to uninstall the package disabler or to activate the keyboard again or if I could install a zip that would do some magic through recovery, because I haven't found anything at all, thank you.
This is the reason I didnt disable Samsung Keyboard.
The only solution I can suggest is using a USB OTG adapter and connect a wired keyboard (most wireless ones will work too, if they use USB receivers), and type your password on the physical keyboard. I think the S7 came with one in the box, but if you dont have one you will most likely find one in most electronic stores (or online if you're willing to wait)
Good luck
Yes I managed to unlock it, I tried to do what you wrote initially, but the ultra power saving mode disabled external usb functions, so I discarded it completely, then thanks to a forum I read where it said that ultra power saving mode usb "lock" could be bypassed if it was connected at boot, and it did work, thank you so much I was about to hard reset it
I tried all the other methods posted in various forums, but none of them worked including connecting a usb keyboard. I use the findmymoblile.samasung.com website to unlock my phone remotely and that finally worked.

You just saved my ass.
Didn't know I could unlock it using the Samsung website.
I'm confused can you tell me what you did in detail.
Hey guys.
I have a oneplus5 that is in the following state:
Display and touchscreen nonfunctional
rebootet (means, it is not unlocked and i cant unlock it since the screen is done)
not rootet
developer options not enabled.
unlock method is pattern
Im looking for a way to access a single foto that is on the device (not in cloud somewhere).
I allready tried to connect a mouse to the phone and input the pattern with that, but that doesnt seem to work. At least i tried for extended period of time and had no luck. i think the pattern doesnt recognize mouse input.
Are there any options left that I could try?
Destruction of the device IS an option. Is there a way to crack it open and access the storage that way?
Any help appreaciated.
Very peculiar stage now. Let me dig something if probable.
