Hello,
I followed the procedure to unlock my SIM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150 , but when I reboot the phone, the screen locks after about 30 secs and asks for a password, which I don't have.
So far, I've restored a few different backups, but in all cases the phone screen still locks after 30 secs. I've also tried a factory reset & still no success.
I installed Google Play Edition & all is okay (no screen lock), however when I again restore to any of my previous back-ups, I get the screen lock again ?
I've also tried most of the methods for deleting the screen lock password in this posting, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2620456
, but none of these methods work & when I check for the screen lock 'password.key' with root explorer I can't find it ?
Does anyone know what's happening here ?
I'm thinking of wiping the internal phone storage (to erase whatever is creating the screen lock) & then trying a restore again - is this advisable ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't used my nexus in a couple months, turned it on today and there's a PIN lock.
I don't remember ever setting this up, I tried my usual PINs and none work.
I keep trying but I never get a forgot password log in with google option. I always get 5 wrong entries, wait 30 secs.
I'm at 35 incorrect PINs so far.
-I've also tried going to device manager but my device is always unavailable so I can't send a lock screen to it.
-I can't do a factory reset because my recovery is broken and I can't get into it to erase my data.
-I can't flash a new recovery because my computer isn't a trusted device to access it and I can't allow it because I can't log in.
I'm not sure what else to do.
I have a secondary user on it but I can't turn on the developer options for it because it's not the primary account.
Any ideas what I can do?
If you can get your driver issues figured out, so that the Fast Boot driver works, you can just reflash images from the Bootloader. You do not need to get into Recovery, or get passed the pin lock to reflash. To make it easy, you can use something like Wug's NRT and use the "Bricked Device" option to flash images from the bootloader screen.
Hello
I have J2 Prime (G532f) and I want to reset the pattern lock screen without losing the contacts and any of its data
I searched a lot on solution for this problem but I coudn't find any
is there any way to reset the pattern lock without losing at least the contact list ?
Today a client broght me this model with screen locked. Firmware was G532FXXU1AQG2. I just flashed COMBINATION_OXE_FA60_G532FXXU1AQD1_OXE1AQD1_CL11108991_QB13167601_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT and now I can access all of data of this phone except CONTACTS. You must flash only boot, recovery, and system partitions. Do it easily with z3x box (uncheck all partitions except these three partitions). After back up all of data flash your phone again with official 4 file firmware.

Hello everyone, I have a Moto Z play xt1635-02
The last day of vacation and after having taken 1500 photos (I do not backup in google cloud photos) the display of my motorcycle z play on the inside was broken by excessive pressure.
The phone remained with the black screen, but the commands responded because I heard sounds of screen lock activation.
In desperation, turn off the phone and when I wanted to enter the pincode intuiting the place on the screen to connect to the PC and backup the content, the phone did not respond. Do this process several times and turn it off several times as well.
There was no way to have done factory reset through the download menu since I had no way to do it without seeing the screen.
Today after changing the display, the phone appeared factory reset, so it was put into airplane mode and did not install applications.
I lost all my photos and I would like to know if there is any way to recover them.
1) I understand that the first thing I should do is Unlock Bootloader
2) Then root the phone (I would like to know what you recommend)
I listen to suggestions and thank you very much !!!
If there could be any possibility to restore the data, you should not unlock bootloader, as this clears all data. It is important to have the bootloader unlocked before any problem occurs to have more possibilities. But if you haven't, search other ways first.
Forced encryption + trim = no go, sadly. Wipe re-encrypts the device making all the previous data unreadable and unrecoverable.
Month ago I decided to put passcode for my RedMagic 5G device. I couldn't find any other option but (pattern) So i place it, after that i got the (finger print) option so i tried to place it but in order to do so i would have to put the pattern. I put the pattern it gave me (wrong password) message i tried couple of times it didn't work.
Searched in Google and i read "if its locked, after few fail attempts it will give me to recover password using google account"
So i locked it kept trying but it never show me the "google option" it just kept adding more cool down time for the next attempt.
I deleted the device from my google acct. I format it (wipe data) all my data gone and it still require the pattern.
i format it multiple times and pattern still require.
to the point it got in loop mood and got stuck on retrieve data ,I flashed it with ROM. the problem solved but still require the pattern.
i format it after the new ROM but still require pattern.
PLEASE help what i should do now?
and would root fix the problem?
Model: SM-S908U1 Unlocked
Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)
