It might be a stupid question, but I am curious.
I got my Optimus One unlocked with a code purchased off ebay. But, I need to restore it to factory settings to delete the first google account that was established with the phone so I can establish a google account for my son as the default. But if I reset it, will it relock the phone back to its own brand? If so, do I need to get a new unlock code or will the code they sent me still work?
Thanks
A google search gave me the answer..
No. The phone will remain unlocked.
When you unlock a phone to all networks it can not be locked again. Its not reversible.
So you are safe.

Thanks for the answer.
Hi! I have an (annoying) situation here, i recently bought a phone (bottom), the phone has been wiped of all apps, however, the last person (the seller) didn't do a FULL factory reset, so his Google account is still the primary.
I know you can remove the primary account via factory reset, but there seems to some sort of PIN/password, you dont need a pin/password to unlock the phone (from sleep), the screen asking for a pin also popes up when i tried to apply a lockscreen password
Ive emailed the seller already, but he takes a long time to respond, and i hate to wait.
i know theres specialized hardware like Riff-Box, but this phones waterproof and i dont want to break any seals
Ive also tried to do a root, but kentai/japanese phones have tight security with a small amount of hackers (link to root bellow)
Anyway, my question is that is there anyway to get that pin out of the phone/disable/remove it WITHOUT rooting or cracking the case open
eg software hacks
ive already tried the ADB methods, which require a root, and i have a copy of SDK with proper ADB drivers if anyone has any complex suggestions
Phone
-Sharp SH-06D [normal, NOT the NERV edition]
-internationally unlocked by DoCoMo
-running an unrooted 2.3.5 and (obviously) stock ROM

Hello,
I have Huawei Honor 9 STF-AL10(al09) (chinese version 6gb/128gb) which can not unlock. Before some days i gave the phone to my child for playing, then he put lock pattern and he forget it next day.I was using my phone with my fingerprint ,whitout know the lockpattern,and some days later, it says fingerprint suspend - pattern required. And i am trying everything and cannot unlock it. I know the email which is connect the phone, i try when open it in google devices, but is not allowed USB debug and not allowed Find my phone and cannot unlock. Is there have any way to unlock and keep information in. I have a lot of doc, notes and some apps.
I need to save everything as it is inside.
I can wipe and recover, but i need to save everything.
Is there any software do this(doesn't matter if its paying).
Until somedays i have option every 1 hours to try 3 times, but from now is every 24 hours only 1 time.
Or, if there have any way to unlock again with my fingerprint and after that i will allow usb debug and remove lockpattern?
Please help.
Thanks!
Regards,
Georgi
Have you tried third party programs like dr.fone?
This article has some positive reviews, check it out as well.
You can't unlock bootloader on huawei devices so you can't recover data from it :/
If you're desperate you can follow this article here to unlock bootloader on your device, it's quite expensive though.
Also unlocking the bootloader wipes all data and that's obviously not what you want.
Should all of the above mentioned fail then I really think wiping it is the only option.
Should you succeed then do post what worked for you here so anyone viewing the thread in the future knows what to do.
I can do wipe data/cache from boot menu and i can reset it, i know the email and everything, but i need to save everything as it is inside.
I was thinking, if there have any way to bring again to unlock with the finger print and i will fix it.
It is not a problem, i will pay for Dr Fone, but i was write to them to ask, is the software can help me, without losing anything inside, but they not responding me.
I am trying any combination with lock pattern, but the problem is that now is only 1 try in 24hours and killing me.
Yes, If i find solution i will post it, to save a lot of searching for somebody else.

If you know the email then why not reset the pin?
You can't get the fingerprint to work if it says fingerprint suspended, it's a security feature in Huawei phones and you have to enter your pin.
Try sending it to an authorized service center, they may be able to help you.

How to reset the pin? I have no PIN, i have lockpattern and fingerprint. Yes, it says fingerprint suspended.
I was try with Find my Phone, but i am not activate the location and the option find my phone and cannot connected when i open it from browser, i see my phone, i see the imei, but i cannot do anything more.
I was talk with the authorized center in my country Bulgaria, but they say, that they can only wipe data and restored, but I dont want this, i was ask them for the contact to the central service center, but they not gave me any information.

What I mant by PIN is the device password, or lockpattern.
Did you try forgot my password?
If you have a Huawei ID and you're signed in on your device then follow this guide here.
If all of that failed as well then I'm sorry to inform you that your data is no longer recoverable.
Make sure to do regular backups to avoid this mistake again. I personally use this app.
Also turning on parental control mode when giving your device to your child is another way to avoid this happening again, I personally wouldn't blame my child for this.

I commend your determination annon, but please don't waste your time.
There is no way to recover the data. You don't have debugging mode on, no root, no unlocked bootloader or custom recovery, you don't have a Huawei ID, and google account/google find my device doesn't work.
I don't mean to interfere in your family issues, but as I said I wouldn't blame my child for it. Judging from the way you spoke they're still young.
Instead I'll turn on parental control mode before giving my device.
I will try to find a way with fastboot, if there have some way to do it, i can see the device in ADB terminal , it recognize it at fastboot device, when start the phone in fastboot recovery menu.
Yes, he is 8 year old, i'm not blame him, they are child - it is normal for them.
I am working on a phone for someone that had a heart attack and as a result has forgotten his pin code on his phone. I know I can factory reset but I'm trying to find a way to get back into the phone to recover all his data. I can get into download mode so I was wondering if there is any kind of firmware hack that can be installed in order to just ignore pin altogether. I don't think the data is encrypted. We have been able to recover his gmail account but the lock screen never shows a "forgot your pin?" I tried using find my phone but it says it can locate the phone but that find my phone isn't running. Any help would be really appreciated.

As far as I know, even with those enabled you can't bypass login pin code. If that was the case, you could take anyone's phone, factory reset it, and use it.
? I thought that was kinda the whole point of the existence of XDA. I've already found that Dr. Fone can factory reset and take over a phone. There must be something that can be done in download mode.
I am completely new to this community. But, I have a Samsung galaxy A10; that is currently locked and can not be unlocked, as no one knows the password or the details for the google account that is connected to it. I don't want to have to pay to have it unlocked. So, I was wondering if there is anyway to unlock the phone without it. I have tried to factory reset it but that just brings me back to a screen saying I have to input a password or log into a google account to continue. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
never mind I figured it out this tutorial told me how.(you do not need a sim card by the way)
