Hello all.
I have made too many patterns tries and got my phone locked. Unfortunately I forgot my Google account and I cannot unlock it now. Its been the second day that I am searching the net for a way how to unlock it (and not resetting it because I have many contacts and other data that I don't want to be lost) without loosing any data.
I found some ways here (on this forum) for unlocking the pattern for G1 mobile but I can't do it for HTC Tattoo. I have downloaded the Android SDK... ehm... then? whats next? Do I just plug in the phone to my computer, go to command prompt and type the commands?
Any help at all would be appreciated!
Regards,
Thanks for reading.

Hello, recently I bought a Google g1 phone (used)... It was working perfectly until i tried to access wifi, it began to tell me wifi is unable to enable. So I began to read some threads online and one thread said that the wifi may begin to start working if you are to restart the phone from its factory defaults... SO I did and it was probably the most idiotic decision in my life because now it is asking me to enter in my account info for my Google account, oh and I forgot to mention... I am NOT in the United States, meaning I dont have any form of a data plan and am using a prepaid sim card, so I can't bypass this dreadful login screen . I am been looking through these forums and have found a link leading to a thread where it explains how you can bypass the registration page BUT there is one problem, my phone is not an RC29 model nor a modded RC30 but a LEGIT RC30! I've tried using the <enter>reboot<enter> command and it is not rebooting . So i am thinking I am going to have to find some way of flashing back to an RC29 but I have no clue as where to begin :'(... I really want to get this issue resolved, it is driving me crazy and i've only had this phone for 1 day! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, please just tell me how to flash this phone back to RC29 and that would be amazing!
what about rooting your G1 and porting super d rom. it will help bypass the sign in problem

ok well see the problem is I have no idea of how to do any of that... I have even tried connecting the phone to my pc and nothing is coming up on the screen about mounting the phone to my computer! Is this normal? Anyways, so what do you mean by rooting my g1; if i cant access the g1 through my computer can i get into the micro simcard directly (as in use a microsd adapter and connect it via usb) and install the terminal or what ever is used to flash the g1 back to RC29... If so that method would work wonders! Please reply with an answer... and again THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time!
You can customize the APN settings before logging in to Google. Just hit the menu key on the screen where you login (I think, it's been a while). You will need your APN info for your prepaid carrier though.
Hi,
I went abroad on vacation and turned off the data connection on my Nexus S (GT-i9023). While on vacation a friend figured out my pattern to unlock my phone. Because of that I changed the pattern and of course couldn't remember the new pattern which led to my phone getting locked. To unlock it I have to sign in to my Google account but like I wrote I turned of data connection before I went abroad so I can't log in to my Google acoount. =(
Is there a way to force activate data connection or WiFi without USB debugging enabled? If not, is there a way to force activate USB debugging and then force activate data connection or WiFi? If I can get either one of them working I guess I would be able to unlock the phone by entering my Google account information.
Is there another way of recovering my pictures and videos from the phone maybe? I really really would like to be able to save all pictures and videos that I took on my vacation up until I looked it out.
Please please help and thank you very much in advance!!
Is your phone rooted?
sent from my so icey ns4G
No it's not rooted.
Have you tried entering "null" without the quotes for your password?
Yes I have tried with null as password and with and without @gmail.com with my username.
I have tried to connect it with ADB but the device is not found. I don't think the USB-debugging is activated so I guess that's why I can't see it. Isn't there any tool to force activate USB-debugging or get around that somehow? Atleast then I would have a chance.
Please, any tips?
I also contacted Samsung support but the only answer i get from them is that i have to reset my phone or send it to them so they can reset it and I don't want to do that.
There must be a way? If I connect the usb-cable while in the boot menu I can see it in the device manager as "Android phone - Android ADB Interface". But if I type adb devices the "List of devices" ends up empty.
Is there really no way? I'm totally new to this but it doesn't make sense that there is no way what so ever to get a connection to the phone. Please help, I'll try anything.
Hey guys,
I've seen this questions posted elsewhere, but have yet to see a solution that will work now.
I'm running CM7 Eaglesblood. A friend of mine was messing around on my phone trying to guess the password, and the phone proceeded to tell me that there had been "Too many pattern attempts", and requested my GMail username and password. Unfortunately, I'd turned mobile data and wifi both off prior to it demanding my username and password, and so it will not accept my password until I turn one of those two things on.
I'd really rather not factory reset. Can I setup ADB (to run the commands to turn on wifi) without having access to anything on the phone? USB debugging is on already, I believe.
Thanks in advance.
I fixed it. For posterity's sake...
I followed the instructions here to set up ADB on my device. Thankfully, USB debugging was already enabled, so I could immediately start using ADB on my phone. I then used this SO question and ran the commands in the top 2 answers. I'm not sure which of the two worked, but after rebooting, my phone connected to Wifi and I was able to log in to my phone.
Hello - I have a rather unique situation and have been searching for possible solutions since last few days. I have forgotten my pin or potentially an update or my office apps have locked my phone. I have it connected using fastboot to my PC however I am not able to flash TWRP as it gives an error: Flashing not allowed in Lock State. Is there any way for me to back up the data before doing a reset? Is there any code which can be used to bruteforce different pin combinations in recovery mode / fastboot mode? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have the output of "fastboot getvar all" in case that can help you locate the partition to boot/erase. thanks a ton!

In what way are you phone locked? I don't think there are anything you can do to save your data if you don't know your password/pin. TWRP wouldn't have helped in this case either.
Hi - thanks for your reply. My pin is not working and every pin trial is taking quite a bit of time. I am able to try pins quickly in recovery mode but trying all possible 4 digit combinations will take quite a bit of time. Alternatively, a brute force code to keep trying different pins would also be beneficial if you are aware of it.
Wont adb would have let me back up my phone data?
No way to bruteforce it that I am aware off.
your pin is needed to decrypt the encryption key that is used to decrypt data. So you can't access or backup any data without your pin. This is by design.
But cant the encryption key be overwritten using my biometrics which I have registered as well? Or something that manufacturer can do because there are tonnes of solutions for samsung and lg devices but am struggling to find something for oneplus..

Perhaps this is because OnePlus has properly secured their devices and Samsung/LG hasn't? Though I do contest that statement. By my knowledge all devices perform a data wipe when the bootloader is unlocked (aside from one OP device that had a flaw in this area IIRC).
Please view this from another perspective: if your device was stolen and you've PIN protected it, would you want the thief to be able to unlock it and view all your pictures/videos/documents/etc?

I agree but one pin cant and should not be the only way to unlock phone. In my particular case, I have now started to think that some of the app has messed up with the pin or an android update has messed up with the pin. I am quite surprised that a forgot pin / pattern option doesnt even come as if no one can forget pin. Is there a way to hack into my phone given I am logged into same gmail and other apps as I am logged into my new realme phone?

First time I've heard of a failing PIN, let alone an app that would mess with it (which is absolutely impossible). Asking for a hack into your phone is asking for an illegal way to access your device, which crosses a boundary we will not get into on this platform. We tweak devices, we add functionality, we use exploits to alter the aesthetics of a device and we surely mess them up a lot but we will not support anything beyond our terms.
But! If there indeed is an issue with the OnePlus 8T PIN security, I hope people will report it here. AFAIK there is no such issue widely known.
I also hope it's a lesson in creating proper backups. I guess learning the hard way is the best way. I think we've all been there. I sure have!
you could reset it and enter email registered with that device they fix or email you code to fix
Hi, I broke my phone and got a U11 from my girlfriend which she doesn't use anymore. Sadly she forgot the unlocking pattern. She still has access to her Google account and the phone appears their under her connected devices. As suggested on the support page of HTC I did a factory reset and wiped data and cache of the phone. However, after restarting I still get asked for the unlocking pattern and other then expected there is no option where I can unlock my phone using the Google account credentials.
So my question is: Why doesn't Google unlock option appear on my phone and how can I fix this?
The phone's bootloader is locked and debugging mode is deactivated.
Searching this forum I found this and this related threads, but they didn't solve my problem.
I tried out many youtube hacks in order to bypass the FRP but I always ended up at a point where an option used in the video wasn't available on my phone. I assume HTC patched a lot of these security bypasses.
I hope someone can help me make this phone usable again and thanks in advance!
