Hi, i've updated my honor 5x to marshmallow with emui 4.0. I tried to root it but i had some issues when i had to unlock the bootloader or the factory reset protection. I saw a guide in the forum that tells you need to do the factory reset to set the phone to twrp recovery. The only problem is that i need to root it but without any factory reset or something else that nees to reset the phone. Thanks for any kind of help.
For rooting, you'll need to unlock your bootloader, and unlocking bootloader will factory reset your device. So you have to face a factory reset if your bootloader is locked.

But, to remove the factory reset block i need to remove any lock screen password, but when i try to do this i can't because it says that the device is protected by admin or something else.

If the phone still works simply go into settings and remove your Google account / and lockscreen password
then choose factory reset.
plug phone into the PC
hold volume down and power to enter the bootloader (fastboot) screen.
you can now unlock the bootloader from here.

If your locked out of the phone at the lock screen it's still possible to totally wipe the phone by flashing with the dload / update.app

I am LG Optimus LTE Tag (F120L), which, after failing many patten unlock attempts, is locked. I says to use google account or LG Mobile Support Tool to reset, but the options are not working with me. Any body please help me in this matter. If there is no way to reset pattern unlock, then help me in hard resetting my device from keys.

To factory reset your device you can boot into recovery mode and then once you are in recovery mode select the option to perform a factory reset (This will erase any data you have stored on the phone). After the device finishes performing the factory reset, select the reboot system option. The device should then restart and power on normally, and you should be presented with the regular first time setup wizard.

Did you try holding the power and volume down when the device is powering on until you feel a vibration?

hey, my problem: one of users locked his tablet with pattern and he forgot what it looks like....
i tried to boot recovery but any combination with vol up and down don't work, when power and VOLUP are pushed, tab won't start and showing only black screen, any other combinations give me normal start.
I tried PC Campanion and factory reset but PCC denied access when screen is locked.
I tried boot recovery using fastboot but this Xperia Tab has disable usb debuging.
is any possibility to recover this tab?
Use Flashtool and any firmware you want to use, and factory reset it using that.

ok, thanks
We must find a way to unlock the bootloader.
How could we do?
Someone could help solve this problem?
I haven't seen anything that can do that and LG's boot-loader unlock tool only supports european G4 phones. I tried the Developer Options > Enable OEM unlock, but got a security error screen on boot when I tried flashing.
I was able to root with kingroot and install twrp which was the next best thing. You have to turn off the phone, then hold power + volume down, then release power for a second then when the lg logo appears then keep holding them both. In the factory reset menu, select (yes) perform factory reset twice and it will boot into twrp where you can flash roms and make backups.
When I installed TWRP and tried to boot into TWRP I got the "Secure booting error"..
How did you get into TWRP?
I use the H340AR

First of all, I'm new to this forums AND I'm new to rooting, so please take it easy with me.
Anyways, so I want to root my Galaxy S9 plus Exynos version, and I heard you should enable OEM unlock in developer options before you do anything, so I did switch it on, it asked me to do a factory reset, so I backed up everything and let it do its thing. Now when I go to developer options the OEM unlock is ofcourse not there, but when I go to download mode it says that OEM lock and FRP lock are off. So does that mean I successfully unlocked the bootloader and now I can flash TWRP?
I believe you have to leave the phone on for 7 days for it to show up.

Well since you new you should have done your research on this process.
If you had you would have known NOT to let it reboot to system once turning OEM unlock on....factory reset is normal as you now know.
What you should have done is flip the swtich and then boot directly to download mode and flash twrp to avoid the reset.
Yes now you must wait 7 days again to do anything.
Reading and research is key here dude, never just blindly do anything...bad things can happen. In this case no biggie though just more waiting

Sorry, but with things like this I like to be exact and have no level of presumption or uncertainty.
In saying that, when you say "flip the switch and boot to DL mode" do you mean to flip the switch, and DON'T press agree, or DON'T accept the pop up warning from samsung to restore, but to just ignore and reboot to DL mode?
So literally do what you said and do 2 actions,
1. flip switch
2. restart in DL mode (and exclude pressing any of the pop up notifications from samsung to restore).
Will this work, or do you need to accept samsungs pop up notification to reboot in order to enable OEM unlock ?

Yes you have to acknowledge the prompt then boot to DL immediately.
The key here is NOT to let the device start the reset process
Hi experts,
Trying to keep my kids from using my own tablet, I recently changed the screen lock and forgot the new pattern afterwards
I have the credentials of 2 google accounts opened on the tablet and my fingerprint is already enrolled on the device, I thought I could live with the finger print but discovered that I must enter the screen lock once every two days !
Now the device is locked, and it doesn't give the option of "forgot your pattern" or reset using your google account.
I'm trying to poweroff the device to restart in recovery mode, but even the poweroff function requires the screenlock pattern. I had to let it till battery is empty to poweroff, and yet I can't start it in recovery mode (power + volume up)
The WiFi is ON on the device, and it's connected to Internet, but though Google android device manager can't locate or connect to it !
My 2 Questions are:
1- How can I unlock the device with my google account or fingerprint ?
2- If the above is not possible, I need the photos and videos on the device :crying:, is there anyway I can unlock the device without needing to wipe out the data and reset it to factory ?
Please help & Thanks in advance.

I believe fingerprints and passcodes are stored locally on the device. They wouldn't have anything to do with Google. Hook it to a computer and see if you can save your files cause it's probably going to take a factory reset to get rid of that. If you can't access the tablet to do a factory reset that way you will probably need to use Odin to return it to stock and start over from there.

Can you access TWRP? May not function on the S5e, but on another device it works to use Advanced - File Manager, navigate to /data/system and then delete the locksetting.db file. This effectively removes the lock settings on reboot. Good luck

Might be a little drastic, but you can follow the instructions for unlocking the bootloader. That will cause a factory reset. You will probably need to let the battery run down. Then, plug the USB cable into a PC and NOT the tablet. Press and hold both vol up and down and then plug the USB into the tablet. This should get you into the unlock screen. It will also get you into the download mode to use Odin.

If he can't get into the tablet at all he's not able to tick the oem unlocking toggle in Dev settings. Don't you have to do that in order to unlock bootloader?

If you let the battery run down and then use the method I gave, you CAN get to the unlock mode. And, no, you don't have to enable OEM or Dev mode to unlock the bootloader and reset the tablet. But after doing it, you will need the google login info, which the OP claims to have.

The device did not has TWRP installed before. and it's not rooted, it is with the stock ROM
Can I install TWRP from Recovery mode while the tab is locked ?
and if that's possible, is there any pitfalls or tricks that I should be aware of when installing & using TWRP ?
I went through searching and reading about how to do it, and got questions
- choosing the TWRP version to download, should I pick twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs5elte.html or twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs5ewifi.html ?
- I read that the only way to install TWRP without rooting, is through Odin which I never used. but what I read in
getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-galaxy-tab-s5e/,
getdroidtips.com/flash-twrp-recovery-samsung-phone/ &
getdroidtips.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-samsung-galaxy-phones/
mentions that the device data will be wiped in the process. Is there anyway that does not involve wiping the data ?
Thank you for your support
