Hello to everyone!
This description is very good, but unfortunately I can not help of mind. The Freetab 2099 tablet is set, the OSD, I forgot, offered through the recovery gmail account, but the machine is not connected to the Internet, and it can not be solved. The Windows XP felimeri the machine, but only shows an empty folder adb driver installation, and Total Commander, however does not see downloaded from the manufacturer's website drivers installed, but not working this solution, a multitool can not find device. Maybe a factory reset would solve the matter but has not yet been described find or install a new rom that is. Img extension of the manufacturer's side, but I do not know bekepcsolni debug mode on the machine, it does not allow the zárképrnyőről to move on.
If anyone knows a solution to my problem, thanks in advance.

Hi there, i have tried to use the following software but it doesnt work
so basically I have a samsung G3 i9300T and I know the pattern code but i still want to try out.
firstly when i ran the Multi-tool, it doesn't recongized my phone. So i realized i have to turn on USB debugging in order to let the software to detect my phone.
So i have turned the usb debug mode on and it finally picks up my phone.
Press 1 and it has my serial number, good, good. Then I go to option 3 as you mentioned in order to unlock pattern lock.
It reboots, and the pattern lock is still sitting on screen. So i tried to swipe anywhere on the pattern lock but it doesnt allow me to go further unless i input the right code.
Now i am wondering what could went wrong?

Thanks for supplying such a tool, unfortunately I tried it and had the same result has Fossil_Sioux on a Motorola XT901. Phone is recognized and when I select option 2 it reboots, but the lock screen is still displayed. I enter in any random pin and it just prompts me to try again. Any suggestions?

Hello there,
I am new to this forum and android as well.
I have xolo play cell phone which is recently being useless because of too many times pattern attempts.
I know email and password but which is not useful as my internet connection is disable.
I also activated xolo secure due to that i am unable factory reset in recovery ( it says first you'll have to unlocked xolo secure but phone is locked) .
I also disable the usb debugging because i use many time to take data or download using cellphone...PC.
BUT
But the thing which i came across is i boot phone in "factory test" mode due to that i think my usb debugging on for that time i am able to view directory in phone by cmd (adb) and able to reboot using command prompt:.
Now you guys work on android from so much long time is any one know command from which i can factory reset my phone
I dont want to take my cell to customer care because i rooted my phone.
Lastly if no option i have to go customer care support.

Hi,
XDAForums has saved my life before as well. Thank you for posting this solution. This works and phone has been factory reset and unlocked, however it doesn't say SD card data will be wiped out. My SD card now doesn't show any files or app. Phone detects SD, but no files and can't detect any apps. However SD card is not empty. I am not much of a technical guy, is there any way to reinstate apps from SD card?
Thank you in advance.

help!!!Problem: l1020 suddenly rebooted and shows "not for resale" cannot hard reset
So, yesterday i've hard resetted my lumia 1020 with 14393.1003 and it restored backup normally. During normal usage suddenly rebooted and showed "not for resale" and then blank start screen. Settings are accessible via swipe, but soft touch buttons doesn't work. Apps are not accessible, but i can navigate trough settings menu . Keyboard works. under "about" I can't see any IMEI and i can't hard reset from here because it says that reset protection is enabled.
Problems:
1. can't enable wifi, cellular and bluetouth (says: "can't do this now, try to reboot... etc", but doesn't help)
2. reset protection is enabled, I don't know why, I'm not in America. I cannot disable it because I cant access internet any more (no cellular no wifi...)
3. tried wdrt, ends with error. cannot hard reset in any way.
Any suggestion?

Dont know. -relock is a thor2 command. Read the help from thor2 window.
Check "Documents\Non-Production Errors.txt" if you have the "Not For Resale".
And a download mode flash may slove your problem. (using the emergency files provided by lumiafirmware.com)
Or try WP Internals?
no success with wpinternals...

Enable lumia flash mode and use the firmware method in WDRT.
so, the problem is that i cannot downgrade because of protection... but, if I'm not wrong i can upgrade... but now my phone runs 14393.1066 and I can't find a newer rom to flash.

Turn it off. Then press the power key + the volume up key. Keep pressing the volume up key until you see a lighting with a gear. Connect the phone to your PC and flash using Windows Phone Image Designer (WPID). You can get the appropriate FFU file for your phone from lumiafirmware.com

Hello!
I need help regarding a Redmi Note 8 that no longer accepts the correct pattern and is locked.
I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to either unlock my phone without data loss, or make a backup of the phone's internal storage on an sd card/pc before hard resetting.
The device is not rooted and I don't have custom recovery installed. USB Debugging is on, but my laptop is not authorized.
With Adb, the device is detected but unauthorized. It seems to be detected normally in fastboot mode. I was able to get my laptop to detect it in recovery mode by clicking on "Connect with MIAssistant" while it was plugged in, but only in sideload mode. I also somehow managed to get into safe mode, but I used the stock screen lock, so unless there's something else that can be done in that mode, it doesn't seem useful in this situation.
I tried the actual MIAssistant software but it tells me to update my device before connecting. From what I found, this is because it doesn't even work with phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or above, so that seems to be a dead-end, unfortunately. Downloaded from here, updated to version 3.2.1.3111. If there's a newer version that could support my device, even an untranslated one, I would love to know, but I couldn't find a working one.
I had some ideas that could potentially solve my problem, but couldn't find a way to actually execute them, so here they are in case someone out there who knows more than me could help me with one of them.
1, Is there any way I could authorize my laptop for USB Debugging without being able to accept the prompt on screen?
2, Is there a way to make a backup of the internal storage of my phone in fastboot/sideload mode?
3, Is there a way to get adb to detect this device normally in recovery mode, instead of in sideload mode?
4, Is there a way to get my device into mtp/ptp mode instead of charging mode when connected to a PC without USB Debugging so I can copy my files?
5, Here's a thread I found that seems promising, although it's old. Could I somehow use this, or a similar method on Redmi Note 8? The Recovery Mode is much more limiting on this device, unfortunately, so I can't exactly follow this tutorial. Are there alternatives that can be done in adb fastboot/sideload mode, perhaps?
6, If I am forced to hard reset, is there any software out there that could recover at least some of the deleted data afterwards, or is everything lost in case of a reset?
I am open to new ideas not listed above, as well. I am not a very advanced user so I probably missed some things.
Thank you so much for any answer in advance!

not as far as i know, ask in ADB thread if you find any
Updated with extra info in case anyone else has any ideas.
Even if you can copy your files to PC, they are problably unusable because of encryption.
That is why you need that pattern
For security this is exactly what you want, if your phone is lost or stolen.

Do you mean that the reason it doesn't accept the correct pattern anymore is for security? I would have thought it would still accept the correct one, at least after several tries of the same thing. Being completely locked out even when you know the correct password is a little strange to me.

I work for a little repair shop in my village. A customer brought in a phone - got it for his son (14) for his birthday and let him set it all up including making the google account.
The reason why it was brought in was that son forgot the pattern. Asked if we can possibly unlock it or at least recover the photos - we said that 99% that the info will be lost, but we'll see what can be done.
Tried a lot of stuff, but to no avail. Now I'm just trying to reset the phone and wipe it clean but that seems more difficult that it should be. Not sure if it's some protection that Nokia has put in place or what, but seems to be even harder that wiping an iPhone.
Problems I'm facing - can't enter recovery mode.
Only thing I can access is fastboot.
In the CMD it only recognizes fastboot commands but not adb ones.
Using TFM Tool Pro 2.0 I can force to restart it and go into recovery, but no options show up (apparently you have to quickly push volume up and power button when the little broken Android symbol is showing on the screen and the options should come up, but nothing's happening)
Sorry if I've left any info out, but need any suggestions what could be done, what am I missing.
P.s. Quite new to the whole ADB and Fastboot thing.
Used:
Windows 10, Nokia G10
Have a MacBook and a Linux computers available as well if that changes anything. Thanks in advance.
Did follow the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-enter-recovery-mode-on-nokia-g10-g20.4353903/
Edit:
The command "fastboot reboot recovery" can't find the device, but can do the same thing with the app mentioned above. And holding or pressing the volume up + power button only turns the phone off or if I just press them, no matter for how long, it does absolutely nothing.
Edit2:
Tried the Reboot2Recovery tool - does absolutely nothing (waiting for the device to connect although the fastboot devices in CMD does see the device)
Use the TFM (Pro.7z tool )for Windows can help you

I believe that's the tool I mentioned in the comment already or is it something different?

This tool will solve your problem, just search for the explanation on YouTube.
TFM will not work. Please download the tool I developed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/reboot2recoveryv5-zip.5494089/. Please reply here for any help if needed.

I work for a little repair shop in my village. A customer brought in a phone - got it for his son (14) for his birthday and let him set it all up including making the google account.
The reason why it was brought in was that son forgot the pattern. Asked if we can possibly unlock it or at least recover the photos - we said that 99% that the info will be lost, but we'll see what can be done.
Tried a lot of stuff, but to no avail. Now I'm just trying to reset the phone and wipe it clean but that seems more difficult that it should be. Not sure if it's some protection that Nokia has put in place or what, but seems to be even harder that wiping an iPhone.
Problems I'm facing - can't enter recovery mode.

I watch videos from 10 different guys - they use the tool to boot into recovery and then choose the reset option by pressing volume up + power, but my problem is that when I do that no options come up.

I tried version 4 and that did nothing at all. Did not even reboot into recovery.
Hesitant to use version 5 as multiple users complained that the phone stopped loading. Would not want to brick the phone.

Just tried even the version 5. It does not see the device

No it should not happen and it is just generic script with fastboot commands and nothing else.
If you use Windows PC I can help you with a remote software like teamviewer or anydesk.
I too had/have similar issues with the "waiting for device.."
I resolved it by removing all the drivers and then downloading what I believe is likely to be a more up to date version from here:
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.
developer.android.com
I also downloaded their version of adb/fastboot in the standalone package from here:
SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.
developer.android.com
Together these two resolved my "waiting for device..." issues and I can consistently get through to the Android "no command" screen.
My problem is also that the power plus volume up button no longer seem to work. I downloaded the reboot2recoveryv5-zip batch file and read the thread which produced it but it would appear the method no longer works either. I can, using "fastboot reboot fastboot", get the fastbootd menu to open but it has no option to exit back down into the recovery menu.

I contacted Nokia support and they were as much help as wet socks.
Although it does not help my situation they did suggest something which may help the OP:
****************************************************************************************************
In order to fix the issue that you face with your device please follow the steps below:
1. You should login to the Gmail (that is used on the device) on a PC.
2. Click on "Find your phone"
3. Choose the proper device from the list of devices that will appear. (These are the devices that are using the same Gmail account)
4. Confirm the password of the Gmail once again.
5. Click on "Consider erasing your data" >"Yes, erase"
After the final click a remote factory reset if performed and the device will loose the data unless it was stored in a cloud, but this will remove the pattern and the issue will be solved!
****************************************************************************************************
In my case I don't even have a Google account set up on the phone yet so that didn't help.
Since Nokia refused to help I am forced to turn to you guys for any help/ideas? In the meantime I continue to try various button combinations in desperation.
This is my first, and my last, Nokia. It's also my first new phone in a long time, is this type of factory reset prevention common among manufacturers? I ask as I consider my replacement for this phone if I can't ever manage to reset it.

After this screen please type fastboot reboot recovery and then you will get recovery screen
Wow, that worked!!!
To clarify (for anyone else) I typed "fastboot reboot recovery" whilst the phone was still on the screen I posted in my previous post.
I cannot thank you enough mvikrant97, I was at my wits end pressing and holding buttons. I did download your batch file although I didn't use it I read it and instead ran my own commands but could you not perform this whole process automatically as follows:
:5
fastboot reboot fastboot
timeout /t 10 /nobreak
fastboot reboot recovery
pause
goto :menu
Nokia G10 TA-1334 is dead after performing factory reset from recovery.
It seems /SYSTEM partition was wiped out. How to write firmware on this phone?
Bootloader is locked, can not flash it even with testpoint!
Any ideas??

no need to flash firmware just set your phone in fastboot mode and then type command in CMD
fastboot --set active=b

No luck!
Sorted out, correct syntax was:
fastboot --set-active=b
Setting current slot to 'b'...
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
Command worked, phone booted up. Thanks!!

fastboot reboot recovery
pause
goto :menu
then it shows the recovery menu without using any key, and I succeeded to rest Nokia G20 phone throw the menu.
