Hi to everyone
I have an issue and would appreciate if anyone can help me.
So I have lock pattern on my phone and have fingerprint for unlocking. I restarted phone and then it asked me to enter lock pattern to unlock it. Which I forgot.
As my knowledge is 0, I didn't set up anything to help unlocking like safe location, find my device or any of those options.
I've been reading a lot how to unlock phone without deleting data, found one app which would work with USB connection to my laptop, but I didn't set that up previously on my phone.
I really need to unlock phone so I can save pictures, contacts and messages. Especially because I was on vacation when this happened and I was so smart not to do back up since March last year.
Now I was reading also about some Aroma File Manager, but when I enter into recovery mode I am not sure what to do. I downloaded app on another phone, stored it to SD card and put that card into my locked phone. And this is what I get when I go to recovery mode:
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data/factory reser
Wipe cache partition
Mount/system
View recovery logs
Run graphic test
Run locale test
Power off
If anyone knows how to save pictures and messages from locked phone please help me.
I had to buy new phone because I really want to save those photos, some of them mean a lot to me.
I learned hard way so on this new phone I put every possible option for unlocking that I could find.
But I hope that there is solution for this too..:crying:
And I apologize if something is not written correct, English is not my native language.

Hi, i seem to have a bit of a problem with my HTC HD2. Earlyer today i lost the network connection. Thinking it's just a error i reseted the phone and when it asked for the password (not sim password but phonelock password) it did not recognize it. After dooing so several times now when i pres the "unlock" key it does nothing.
I've done a bit of reading and it seems the only solution is a hard reset with wich i don't have a problem... Except i'd really like to keep some of the personal files, meaning my messages.
I can acces the phone's memory (i don't have a memory card) but none of the folders there indicate to have the information i am looking for.
I know that you cand sync your phone with your pc but in order to do so you must first confirm the connection, and since my phone dosn't recognize the password i can't acces that way.
So my questions are:
1. Is there any tool i can use to acces the phones system files
2. What is the folder i can find the messages in?
3. (any other solution to my problem would be more than appreciated)
Thanks for reading

You can backup your messages with PIM backup.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
After,just copy the .pib file to your PC and after hard reset you can restore your messages.
Thanks for the replay. Unfortunatley i can't use the tool since i can't acces my phone. In order to run the .exe of PIM backup i need to get past the password screen wich does not work (i type in my password, press the "unlock" key and it does nothing).
i can only acces the phone as far as seeing it as a "Removable hard drive" where i find folders like pictures and video etc.
Any solutions?

Thanks and still waiting.
Hi all,
Yesterday for fun some friends of mine chose to put a numerical password on my phone, I said it was not a problem since I thought there was an option to unlock it if password was forgotten with Google account (I remembered doing it sometimes in the past).
But it looks like there is not this option anymore.
I know a factory reset will remove the password but I actually have some very importants messages that I can not lost.
So I would like to know if there's a way to avoid the password or at least backup messages to my computer or something like that.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Im no expert but heres what i would do:
First enter recovery Mode and BACKUP
Now dumped the backul to ur pc
Now comes the part i do not know spe ifics about...? Seach Google for the boot security loader for ur android version.. There should be a configs file that sets the lock level modify that to no security and it should work im swaeching for a good link now
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
hello,
I couldn't find any other forum to discuss about this version of Huawei mobile phone. I really need help since the last legitimate EMU update ruined the whole system and now my new mobile phone that I have never had a chance to use it is like a trash device... I hope someone here can help me to recover it since i tried all ways I found on internet.
I bought this mobile from China and bring it to Europe. Since I wanted to remove some chinese default software (that wasn't basic software but really annoying), I used an app and rooted the mobile phone. so I removed some of chinese stuff and installed some of good software. Everything worked fine and I tested skype and I had high resolution picture with 8 Mega pixel camera. I tested all its functionality and it was really good...
I noticed that there is a new legitimate update for this OS, since I still didn't have any sd memory, I couldn't have a backup of this old system and this was a big mistake...
anyway... I let it do the legitimate update for EMU... but immediately after reboot, I noticed that Camera and bluetooth are out of functions... so I first thought the problem is with bluetooth configuration but I was wrong since the internal memory was read only and no longer available.
I formatted the internal memory via computer (the part which was available) but no luck... I bought a sd card and changed the storage from internal to external but this didn't help to function bluetooth and camera...
I had a back up from /system/apps and then removed manually the bluetooth.apk and also its odex file. then restarted the system, clear dev cache and tried to install bluetooth.apk again. but I received error message and couldnt' do that. so again I copied those file back to its location.
So bluetooth turns on now, can send signal but for receiving or sending file, it fails, It can also pairs with other device.. So I thought it should be something related to permissions. I again checked the bluetooth permissioin on /etc/permissions/platform.xml and notice they are ok.
I changed the permission of storage and added the external storage to the list and added group storage_rw.
but this also didn't solve the problem with camera and bluetooth.
several times reset to factory mode didn't solve the problem...
I tried to hack the bootloader but I could not unlock it... I sent all information to [email protected] and asked them to send me bootloader password and provide them with all detail information about the device and accepted that the device is out of warrant but I received no response...
I installed "safe system remover apps" and after having backup of Gallery2.apk, I uninstalled it (it is related to camera and all gallery information)... but with no luck I could install it again...
So, I am really hopeless now since I don't know whatelse I can to do... the system doesn't functioning and I need to load on it the custom ROM but the device only can go to fastboot and cannot load the recovery mode anymore and factory reset from the UI is only reset the mobile to fastboot without doing anything else.
I tried to run the factorymode.sh from the device but I receive error messages to access some files such as bluetooth parameters/power
I couldn't myself find this file on the directory that it looks for.
I would really appreciate it if you can tell me any way that I can unlock the bootloader from the device (because outside of the device I tried different applications but with no luck...)
I have a cutom ROM for G630-U20 (not exact version for this device but almost similar) and if I can have a bootloader password I can try this one or any other customized ROM.
I would appreciate any way that you can show me to solve the problem.... either by changing permissions to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Is there any way to exit Ultra-Power-Saving-Mode while locked out of my S5 using recovery mode, installing some update, etc? I have a lot of development experience with several languages and tools, but not Android.
I've been using my fingerprint for access for over a year and now I have no idea what my alternative password is... since I've never used it regularly and can't find any record of it. I usually right document such things, but apparently not this time.
Unfortunately, this last Sunday while in Ultra-Power-Saving-Mode something went wrong with my phone and now it only asks for the alternative password... which I can't recall. I've used the Android Device Manager 4 times since then to reset the lock PUK/PIK. After each time resetting it, the lock screen does show the new greeting I set via the Android Device Manager, but it still asks for the alternative password... instead of asking for the PUK/PIK that I just reset.
I am suspecting/hoping that if I can somehow get my phone out of UPSM that the lock screen will allow me to use the reset PUK/PIK to get back into my phone.
So, I am asking if you know of any app that can be installed remotely that will allow me to get my phone out of UPSM? Or, if there is any way to get it out of UPSM by rooting the phone, but installing an ADM update, etc.
Normally I would just do a factory reset because everything is synced up to my Google account. However, apparently my SD card, which was my primary storage, filled up on May 2, so everything since then has been stored on internal memory and thus will be lost if I do a factory reset. I've taken a lot of pictures and video of my 2 1/2 yr old boy and I am trying to avoid losing everything since May 2.
Thanks for any help.

Only option I can think of would be to install TWRP custom recovery and use the built in file manager to rename the UPSM app. This wouldn't work if you have an ATT or VZW model, as the bootloaders are locked down, not allowing installation of TWRP, but pretty much any other carrier model should be fine.
Hello everyone!
I have a small problem that I would like to solve.
I have a Galaxy S3, who has a broken display and then completely unusable.
Now I want to recover the data within it, both from the internal memory to the external one. Most online guides always suggested to enable this blessed "USB debugging", but if the screen is broken, how do I activate it?
So I ask here on the forum, if anyone knows an alternative way to recover the data with broken display (which is not DrFone and companions).
I hope you can help me.
PS: I just found out that it is well locked (by pin or unlock). Therefore even more complicated
PROBLEM SOLVED:
Well folks, since no one responded, I help you!
The problem was solved in a very simple:
Practically we put the screen of another S3, this way of display we could see what we were doing.
Because it was locked with password, after we installed a revocery (CWM or TWRP) and have them mounted the internal memory on the PC (USB Storage Mount), transferred all the data. After we put in Download mode smartphone and a firmware put Odin to remove the block given by password or unlock pattern. Done all this, we then reset the cell as "new", mounted the old screen (the broken), and the end! The everything with simplicity and speed.
I hope to be of help. To ask questions!
