There are several ways..
1. A complete data wipe.(U'll loose all the data)
To do so u need to go to recovery mode by pressing a set of button combinations, it devents on the device model.
2. If u had enabled USB debugging already in the phone settings, u can use adb commands to remove the file named gesture.key inside the path /data/system/
3. If u have cwm and had rooted the phone, u can use aroma file manager and flash it through cwm to find and remove the above said file.
4. If u have cwm only, u can flash a zip file which has a edify-script to remove the gesture.key file.
P.S- 1st method is a globally used one, try that itself if u don't worry about loss of data.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

what if USB debugging is not enabled and you ar locked out what do u do

Go in recovery and do a factory reset

[Q] Unlock problem

earlier today I found out my little sister knew my pattern so I changed it. But when I changing the pattern I didn't pay attention a lot and know I forgot the pattern.My data and WiFi are disabled.I can't sign in to my google account with the phone now.
My question: I can't sign in because data/wifi is off? If yes is there a way to turn on wifi or data without unlocking phone?
I'll be thankful if someone help me because I can't loose my apps and setting
I'm using Galaxy mini CM 7.2 official

Hi, you can go into recovery mode and make a data wipe, but you will loose all apps and configurations.
On CM10.2 is it possible to activate wifi or data from lock screen but i don't kow cm 7, sorry

if you have usb debugging enabled you can break it with adb by using adb shell commands
follow this guide in my blog http://www.blog-android.com/general/break-pattern-lock/ for more details and dont use that aroma method it is only for mediatek devices
you can try the other methods given there

I don't know why you facing this! if I forget my password/pin my phone gives me a option to enter my gmail id and password and then directs me to change the password/pin! this occurs even If I remove my SIM card also!
anyway a probable solution for you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225695

I am just sharing my experience
I had locked gionee m2 without root and without debugging enabled I was able to disable lock with out wiping data
What I did was
1)flashed carliv touch recovery using special flash tool
Use PC to Flash*recovery.img*using sp-flash tools. (Please be aware of how to install required drivers etc..)
Select original scatter file of your version of ROM. If You are using stock ROM, Make sure that you have not altered the phone partitioning earlier.*
Be careful and Remember to select/tick only 'recovery' in the list. You can also check preloader if you like. and select ONly 'download' button. (NOT firmware upgrade!). Connect your switched off phone to your PC. Wait till your task is complete. Shows you a green circle.
2)backup of data was made using carliv touch recovery (ofcourse with locked phone data)just in case anything goes wrong.
At this moment carliv touch recovery was working but boot and power options were not functioning
3)now flashed rooting file this time by carliv touch recovery
4)carliv touch recovery has aroma file manager too. But I was not able to open lock by this method as
Aroma File Manager, Click on menu option and go to settings*
Select Mount All Partitions*
Now, exit from Aroma File Manager and reflash it.*
Now, you will see each partition is mounted
5. Now, go to /data/system
Note : If you have sd-ext mod to increase internal storage, go to /sd-ext/system/
6. Now, If you have to remove pattern lock, long press and delete gesture.key
If you want to remove password, delete password.key
7. Exit the Aroma File Manager
8. Reboot*
9. Enjoy*
Didn't enjoyed this method somehow I don't know but it didn't worked for me as this folders didn't showed above said files.
5)now I flashed pattern password disable. Zip file using carliv recovery
And on booting phone screen asking for google id and password was gone link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1900741&d=1366570627
This was my method to unlock pattern locked gionee m2 phone but this can help you out too

[SCRIPT] Remove Screen Lock

Hey Guys
I just made this script to remove Pattern/Gesture Locks without reseting phone or going through adb commands
simply flash this zip to remove pattern,pin,password locks.
Will work with all GB phones
EDIT: Use cwm, won't work with stock recovery as zip isn't signed

should work
an alternative to using aroma file manager to delete the gesture and password keys

Good job :thumbup::thumbup:

Will this work for password lock not the pattern lock? I've tried it on password lock and its not working. It still ask for password on lockscreen. I entered wrong password but still cannot unlock the phone and it said i have to enter my email for recovery password.

Wipe data if you didn't find any other way to reset your lock.
After you have solved your problem, keep Gmail app installed and sync the email atleast once for making the resetting with Google account working.

In regards to your post
1 - this isnt realy development
2 - its a basic script which just says to delete two files
3 - anyone could type script in 2 mins
4 - as regards to copying - well every script that wants to acheive this has to have the same commands to delete the two files
5 - did the op write this? who knows but themself but its so basic anyone could write that with a little knowledge of what they want to do
6- you have broken xda rules by posting to another forum that requires registration and could be for commercial gain
7- there are lots of this type of script on xda with dates before that posting -including this one!

This script does nothing but deleting two ".key" files located in system/data, anyone can write it,
I don't know about that guy on the other forum but I did a lot of research on removing screen lock as I had this problem,
since my phone wasn't hard rooted (can't delete files via adb commands), I had to make a script to remove lock on my phone,
So I just felt like sharing this script here with everyone.
PS: i used this tutorial, if you want you can also give it a try

does this method need a rooted device or will it work with the in-built recovery in samsung devices. the next question is not related to this but i am going to ask anyway. does the warranty get void if i install a custom recovery on to my samsung galaxy note 5??

[Q] DPI Changed

Hello Guys,
Today I was training to put my DPI higher, so my grandfather could see the screen.
Sadly when I booted with a DPI of 720, the process 'Trebuchet' stops.
The message of it, will continue again and again.
Do you guys maybe know how I can change my DPI back? (Using Recovery or bootloader)?
Thanks!

Try all winner apk. Not sure but might be it can help u.

I cannot boot my phone, so using an app is not a option.
The only thing I can do is use Bootloader and TWRP (recovery).

Use adb, connect device to computer, adb shell, cd/system, open build.prop by using nano build.prop change DPI back to required value Ctrl x saves the file. Exit to get out of adb shell and reboot phone.

At his moment, I got another problem.
All the adb commands return: "error: device not found".
The USB Debugging is on, to do that, I used "setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1".
But now it still does not find the device.

That is not good. can you boot into recovery? if so you can dirty flash ROM and it will change the DPI

If you read my post, you could've seen that I cannot boot my phone.
So using that app will not help.

Extremely sorry that i have ignored that

Could somebody upload his/her build.prop?
I think that would do the job.

Sorry for my answer to your problem... I want to say that next time when you want to modify the DPI use the above app. Anyway, whatever...

I fixed it, with flashing a new rom.
After 20 tries, I could copy the .zip to my /sdcard/ folder and I could flash it.
Thanks for trying to/the help.

Solved! Unlocking the Bootloader and Rooting Oppo A71 CPH1717 (MT6750)

Hi everyone I just found out a way recently on how to unlock the bootloader without losing data and root Oppo A71 Cph1717 ,but just in case please i encourage you to backup your phone before doing this, i tested this with my own phone and it works so now lets start!!!
1) download and install latest python (ensure to tick the checkbox Add Python x.x to PATH) ------>https://www.python.org/downloads/
2) download and install preloader driver -----> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9...dUE/view?resourcekey=0-TN-5Ipeegh7SowX4sduz_g
3) download the latest MTK-client zip --------> https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
4) unzip the mtk-client and open the CMD or Powersell inside the extracted MTK-client folder
5) enter the first command -----> python setup.py install ,and wait until the process is done
6) after the installation is done enter the second command ----> pip3 install -r requirements.txt ,wait until the process is done.
7) Now this is the part to where you are going to unlock the bootloader of your Oppo A71
8) enter command -----> python mtk da seccfg unlock it will wait for the phone to be connected
9) Now power off your phone, connect the small part of the usb cable in your phone, hold both up and down volume button and connect the another end of the usb cable to the computer and you will see the process starting after the process is done boot up your phone and the VIOLA!!! you have unlocked your bootloader without losing any data!!,when you see a warning ( your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted , your device will boot in 5 seconds....) dont worry its very normal , Now lets hop in on how to root your oppo a71 .
Second Rooting your Oppo A71 CPH1717
1) download latest magisk apk and install it on your phone
2) download your stock rom in your PC -----> https://oppostockrom.com/oppo-a71-cph1717
3) and extract the stock rom in your pc
4) now go to developers option of your phone and enable usb debugging and select the type of connection and select MTP while connected in pc
5) copy the extracted boot.img in your internal storage
5) now open magisk app and select install (you can select Preserve AVB option if you want ) then select next and press the Select img and select the boot.img that you copied fron the PC and then press lets go option
6) wait until the patching is done
7) after the process is done, now copy the magisk_patched.img in the pc ( you can find it in your internals download folder)
8) now create a folder in your pc name it Root flash
9) move the magisk_patched.img in the folder that you created and rename it boot (no extension and other things )
10) copy the scatter file,preloader.bin from the extracted stock rom in to the folder that you created (root flash folder)
11) download sp flash tool ------>https://spflashtool.com/download/ ,and unzip it in your pc
12) open the sp flash folder and open flash tool.exe
13) now see scatter-loading file option and click choose go to the created folder( root flash folder) and select the scatter file
14) now untick the preloader but not the boot
15) click the download button , power off your phone ,connect the small part of the usb cable to your phone ,hold the up and down volume button then connect the another end of the usb to the Pc
16) wait until the flashing is done you will receive a green check in the screen ,disconnect your phone from the pc and turn your phone on and VIOLA!!!! your Oppo a71 CPH1717 is now rooted you can check the magisk app if its installed or install root checker
if i did something wrong pls feel free to tell me
PS: only follow this instruction that i created on how to unlock bootloader if your phone is Oppo A71 CPH1717 because if you follow another tutorial for unlocking the bootloader of this phone TRUST me it will going to be fu*ked up!!!!
BTW if you didn't enable the (Allow OEM unlock, but to be sure please enable it) option don't worry its ok trust me ,you can see it too in my screenshot.
you can refer to the screenshots below from my phone for the evidence , i hope this helps others.
