[Q]How to break "too many pattern attempts" while in airplane mode

Hello,
I had a problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi.
My girlfriend was playing with my tablet and couldn't guess my login pattern.
Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off, in Airplane mode!!
So I am looking for way how to unlock it without root access>> is that possible ?

How often did she try? You should be able to wait a little while and then enter the correct pattern. There's also a way to unlock the xoom without knowing the pattern or google account, but no one on this forum is gonna help you with that ('cause we can't be sure that it really is your xoom;-) )
So just try to wait a little while until you can enter the pattern again or try to reboot, maybe the pattern will appear again after that...

I can control volume by it's button(and that the only thing that could change a thing in that screen), but is there any way to turn on wifi with or without button !?!?!?!

Do you have adb debugging enabled? I think you can change the wifi state in adb shell....

I'm sorry >> I didn't enable ADB before
is it a dead end!!
I really just can't do hard reset, with no way of extraction for my data (it's 20g out of32)!

So >> Is there any new idea please !

Heeeeeeelp~!

You may need to fully wipe it.. you'll lose your data. This can be done through a connected PC.
Revert to the out-of-box state (stock/locked). There are many threads on this.
Or follow instructions here (you may need to register): MotoDev
Load up MZ604 Wifi (HWI69) - and go back through setup.
Once you enter your Google account - it will download your software and reload your wifi settings, etc.. Then let it go through the various OTA updates through ICS 404.
You'll have to redo your screens - but you'll get back a working Xoom.

[Q] How to unblock(Google) C1594?

One of my friends phone Sony Xperia C1594 is locked up as she does not remember the unlock pattern.
It was asking for mothers maiden name and she does not remember if she has put it or not. She has tried to login to google account and setting the recovery options but the recovery options are not available in google !
So it looks like option is to hard reset the phone. Searched everywhere could not find the right key combination to do it. Can anyone help me? This is not a rooted phone.

Hey buddy...
You cannot reset Sony like that..
But practically,there is a way to bypass it
Just repair your phone via pc companion
It will install a fresh copy of software in it and naturally,the lock would be gone..
Thank me if I helped you...

if its rooted, srs root program has an option to reset userlock

that's too technical. if you want to reset it, pull out the battery then turn it on. go to setting-memory. you'll see and option to reset the factory setting there. you can also try to change google's security question. you can't find recovery setting on google but you'll surely could change the security question there.

Since the phone is in locked stage(at pattern login page) you cant access the settings. Only the above method works.

[Q] [HELP!] Xperia Z3 D6603 Flashing/Password bypass.

Hello everyone, i have tried to recover and bypass my password on Z3 D6603.
Cannot remember the password/PIN Code at all, so i cant turn USB Debugging or anything else ON. I have tried to flash custom roms and new firmwares and unlock Bootloader with FlashTool/Emma and any attemps dont give results. Also IMEI Unlocker what comes with Flashtool doesnt work. Tried multiple times with code what i got from Sony's site,
My warranty is gone so i cant give my device to them for unlocking or master resetting, so i need to do it by myself, are there any tips how i can bypass my password or master reset whole device without USB Debugging? I really want get access back to my device, its too expensive to leave it because i have bad memory.
Attached a .JPG with this thread, that picture tells my phone information what is possible needed for unlocking this.
If you can help me send Private Message or just post to thread, Thanks in advance everyone!

http://www.hardreset.info/devices/sony/sony-xperia-z3-d6633/ try option 5 it'll allow you to factory reset in recovery mode

You will not be able to enter recovery unless you have installed one. The info on this site is incorrect.
It also says it if for the D6633 not the D6603 which this user has

I have tried it on my D6616 variant and was able to boot into recovery. Here's the step to get into it, Power off your device while it's off hold both volume up + down then hold power button after 5-10 seconds it'll vibrate and load the sony logo the moment it does release the three buttons and press and hold the camera button until green android guy shows up, that should allow you to factory reset your device.

Could this possibly work?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFUEQV6ob_4
keep in mind that the device is different from what you have gotten but the proceedure should be the same.

That would work only a locked bootloader
The OP here has not confirmed that the boot is locked or unlocked. He says he has no warranty (Suggesting it is unlocked) so this will not work.
The best way will be to flash a FTF with flashtool, there is no need for USB debugging in order to do that

Thanks,
Its not a real recovery, no chance to flash anything there, update or use ADB. It also seems it is not available on all devices. It is not on my phone. (D6603)

Ah you meant custom recovery lol yea sorry us t-mobile users are stuck until we get root exploit. Hopefully this will work for OP so he can reset his device.

No I meant a stock recovery,
All my xperia devices have never had a stock recovery, whilst other devices do that allow updates and adb and backing up user data etc.
The one you showed me is basically just a way to reset the device or enter safe mode.

S7 EDGE Payjoy admin app removal .... help!

Hi guys,
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and it contains an administrative app called "PAYJOY" controlling about everything on my phone ... I tried to get into developer options to use USB debugging to root my S7 but the page appears gray. I tried nearly every app that related to remove or deactivate that admin app such as package disabler pro, app freezer ...etc I even try to delete knox app so I can get to developer options but Payjoy won't allow me to .....
ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THAT ADMIN APP, I really appreciate any HELP!
Thanks in advance

Payjoy won't allow me

You can reset from recovery, power off phone, press and hold volume up + power + home till you get in recovery mode, there you can reset. Make sure you know account and password of google account and samsung account that is set on phone. This can be required by phone after reset is done

How could you say that!!! I bought it from the market... I have the invoice and everything related to my phone ... HOW COULD YOU... Some people need to respect themselves before respecting the others ... SHAME ON YOU

You bought a phone that was still logged into the previous owners google account?
Someone sold a phone that they did not reset, and had no lockscreen security?
Doesn't sound very likely to me

S7 EDGE

Try using Adhell 2 to disable it.

Was able to remove PayJoy via Android remote wipe request. No sign of PayJoy now on the S7 but in recovery it still refuses to wipe saying MDM prevents it. But in Android there is no more sign of PayJoy. How to remove the last remnant which shows itself when trying to wipe via recovery?

How did you do the remote Wipe thing ?

PayJoy App Removed
*REMOVE PAYJOY APP*
1.) Go to settings - lock screen and security and set a pin.
2.) they will leave a menu now that says (Secure Lock Settings), they enter there and there is an unchecked option that says Auto factory reset. Basically what that sentence does is that when you put the pin 15 times wrong the phone automatically does a factory reset.
3.) They have to turn off the screen and turn it on again to put the wrong pin 15 times. the first 5 times are going to be followed and they will have to wait 30 seconds, the second 5 times the same, and the last 5 every time they do they will have to wait 10 and 30 minutes each time, but once they have put the wrong password 15 times the phone magically it will reboot and will do the factory reset removing them from the mdm mode and removing the famous manager of the phone.

how many times have you tried?
did you attempt a factory reset within settings first?
have you Odin flashed the stock firmware?
