Hey guys!
Interesting problem I've been working on, my friend's sister has a tablet (did some research, 99% sure it's the Ubox A13-MID) that has a pattern lock. She forgot the pattern, and also doesn't know what the main gmail attached to it is. I've attempted several unlock patterns, no 'forgot password?' prompt comes up. The tablet also doesn't appear to have a fastboot or recovery menu... pressing power+vol up, power+vol down, and power+vol up+down doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold the buttons, no matter if I let the power button go after a couple seconds, nothing happens. She's not tech savvy, so I know USB debugging isn't enabled. The tablet has an SD slot, and I'm not certain if it supports OTG. But even with these considered as possible ways of restoring the tablet (by any means possible, including root), I don't see any way of doing anything with them without any system menus.
By the way, I hope this isn't a violation to ask this (any kid could come on here and ask how to unlock a stolen device, lol), so please forgive me if it is. If it would be of any aid, I have two rooted androids of my own, both support OTG. Just throwing that out there in case either of them may be able to aid in unlocking this crapplet.
Safe mode doesn't help, and launching the 'power off/airplane mode/sound' window DOES reveal the back button, home button, and screenshot button along the bottom of the device's screen, as well as the option to increase/decrease volume (I was hoping there would be the tiny chance of a settings icon there to bypass the screen). Been swiping up to see if I could launch something to bypass it, as a bug. I can take screenshots this way, but that seems to be all.
I was able to bug out the tablet by dragging the clock to the trashcan, the 3 dot icon came up on the bar but when I clicked it, the tablet just powered off
When it came back on, the clock was back, and the same cycle occurred when I did it again.
Is this a lost cause?

Hi
Just bought the S3 last week - have not tweaked it in any way (apart from rooting and using Go Launcher ex). Works great apart from a couple of things security related:
When I try to enrypt device or encrypt sd card there are no options to enter pin and the continue button is greyed out for both
I want to securely lock the screen with a pin but the first unlock screen to appear just requires you to slide the lock button to the right to unlock the screen enabling full access to the phone. I basically want the phone to immediately (and only) ask for a pin when it comes out of standby.
Thanks for your help!

Hi! You are in the wrong forum Search for your phone's forum and ask there.
Hi there,
Is there anything I can do for a T-Mobile ZTE V768 gingerbread phone that doesn't enter recovery mode(it freezes) or download mode(it reboots),
and can't start because it has a pattern and it is locked for T-Mobile? The phone was sent to a friend here in Honduras from the USA. I have really tried to help this guy but have not met my goal yet.... Any ideas would be totally useful....
Regards and thanks in advance,

Hey dude hope this will help
A couple of weeks ago, the iPhone world discovered an exploit (not fixed) that allowed anyone to bypass the lockscreen and access the phone, messages, and even pictures.
Well, the bug has been caught in the GS3 world now, too. A few days ago, mobile enthusiast Terence Eden discovered a flaw that also allowed limited access to certain features of your Samsung Galaxy S3, and only in very certain circumstances. And it works no matter what protection you have enabled...Pattern Lock, PIN, Password, or Face Unlock.
Steps to Exploit #1
Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.
Go to Emergency Call.
Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.
When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.
You will see a flash of your Home Screen (no matter what launcher you are using).
In that second when the Home Screen flashes, you can select an app/widget to execute.
The limitations with this exploit are that almost anything you select will run in the background, and you will be back at the lock screen. Where this exploit can be effective is if, let's say, you have a Direct Dial widget on your homescreen. In this case, someone can hit this widget, and the call will go through.
While this is something that should be fixed, it doesn't actually allow you to do much, so really, it's not all that scary. Unfortunately, the fun doesn't end there.
Yesterday, Sean McMillan of Full Disclosure opened up the initial exploit and discovered something much scarier. If successful, not only will this exploit open up the full contents and capabilities of your S3, but it will disable the lock screen completely until the phone is rebooted.
Steps to Exploit #2
Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.
Go to Emergency Call.
Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.
When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.
Immediately after hitting Home, press the Power button.
If you did this correctly, the next time you press Power, your device will go directly to your homescreen.
This is obviously not good. Sean does note that you may need to do this multiple times to get it to work. Also, it doesn't matter what launcher you are using, or whether you are using a lockscreen replacement or not.
In the interest of full disclosure, I tried about 30 times, both with my rooted/modded phone, and with a bone-dry stock phone, and I couldn't replicate it.
But, just because I couldn't do it, doesn't mean it isn't real and dangerous. At this point, there has not been any word out of Samsung regarding this exploit, but I imagine a response and a patch will be on their way shortly.

Hello. My son passed away last month suddenly, and I am trying to gain access to his cell phone, (I want to see his texts) a Samsung T599, with T-mobile service. It has a lock screen enabled, alpha-numeric, and I've spoken to t-mobile a couple of times, and they can see no away to bypass the lock screen without knowing the code.
I do have access to my son's google account, but unlike some I posts I have read on other forums, after attempting five password attempts, no "reset using google account" button appears. If I could reset using his google account, I'd be all set up, as I have access to that. I've tried accessing Device Manager on his Google account, someone said I could lock the phone, and set a new lock screen code remotely, but that Lock button is not seen. The phone is located on a map, but rather than having a Lock or Erase" button, it says 'Setup Lock and Erase." I click that, and asks if I want to send a setup notification to the phone. I click yes, but nothing happens. I can't access the Lock feature from Device Manager.
I read on another forum that I might be ably to bypass the lock screen by downloading a certain zip file to a micro-SD card, insert the card into the phone, and then enter reset mode or something like that, by pressing the on button, up volume and home key simultaneously. I was able to do that, browse to the zip file, start it, but then I get an error, something about being "unsigned."
I'm really hoping someone can help me here. It's very important that I gain access to the phone, without doing a master reset. Thanks for any and all help.

i was just messing and seeing the tweaks i could make on my android 6.0 device (karbonn sparkle V)
i stumbled upon (simulate secondary screen ) and i thought ill see what it is ....... i chose the 4k(secure) option and sudenly my whole screen had this translucent - black layer above my screen and i could not do anything on my phone since that layer was above all buttons and i very stupidly shut my phone screen and started it again only to see my phone locked since i had set a pattern lock.
so the case is i cant unlock my phone since that layer or secondary screen is literally covering my phone
and because i cant unlock my phone i cant get into any sort of recovery or anything
i have been searching for ways to fix this but everywhere i can only see the (stuck in loop ) tutorial which is not my case

You can move the secondary screen just move the display by drag and drop move the upward screen down and you can see the Simulate secondary display option then choose the lower is a resolution and move it down and then again to the lower resolution then chose to none and you can remove the secondary display

Argh! Me too. Did you ever get it fixed? How did you do it?
I have the same problom to, i can’t even go to the control center!!!, I tried doing a force restart, but i did NOTHING, So i will wait for it to die so i can try to go in recovery mode, I want android to remove this feature right now! This feature is seriously dangerous! So now i can’t use my phone?! IS THIS FEATURE PERMANENT?!
Well, I'm answering your question from 2023 lol..
First of all you need to turn your phone into 'safe mode' - This safe mode is just like an emergency exit from rough situation.
There are two ways to turn on safe mode.
1. Press and hold the power button
- you'll see two options; to 'power off' or 'restart'
2. Press and hold 'power off' for some few seconds
3. The safe mode interface will pop out asking you whether to 'Reboot to safe Mode'
4. Click on 'Okay' or 'Yes' (But if your screen monitor is not allowing you to click the area, see option 2)
It will reboot to safe mode,.then you can operate your phone and deactivate any developer option setting you did...after deactivating turn off developer option if you want and then 'restart' your phone, it will come back to normal.
Option 2.
1. Turn off your phone by any way you can.
2. Now turn it on, immediately it starts the animation or 3 seconds after you switch it on,.
Press and hold the 'volume down button' until your phone vibrtes
This will take the phone to 'safe Mode' then you can undo all your settings, then restart your phone..
Thanks for reading, I hope this helps? You can email me [email protected]
Situation: Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown. Never messed with. USB Debugging not enabled No special permissions (no ADB). I am able to access the Android Recovery screen. Obviously wipe cache partition didn't help, nor Lacking storage booting. Other than the Recovery and download screen: I get the Power/Restart icons when booted normally. Reset works, but power doesn't turn the phone off. No phone calls, Yes notifications. Camera from lock screen comes on (triple click on home button) and touch screen works.
I've tried to trace out the lock pattern in the hopes its still working outside this specific situation. No indication that it is.
All i want is a few sentimental pictures. Although after an entire day of frustration, finding out that the only thing that works is the camera is kinda funny and ironic.
Ive looked on XDA forums, but I'm having no luck w/ exact situation, although I'm sure someone has been in the same situation or similar enough.
Spent all day looking at options (Odin?) and nothing looks like it would work out for me.
Knowing the camera works, makes me hopeful that a mirror would work? No reaction to lock screen pattern makes me think not.
Additional (maybe irrelevant) info. Shows up on home WiFi while Find My Mobile said it was offline (makes sense with Notifications/no calls)
Any advice? Just point me in the right direction if there is one.
If not i hope you appreciate the Irony here. Thanks
(I used to be not so bad tech support, but haven't been keeping up as of late, and today was a painful reminder. Take pity on me.)
Black Screen Except Camera - Galaxy J7 Crown
Hey there anick22! I was so glad to see a search result with something referencing the camera working, on an otherwise completely black screen! I was super bummed to see that noone had replied to your plea for help with this insane problem!! I hope you found a solution by now!!
My 2 month old Galaxy J7 Crown suddenly went black on me one day, and it didn't happen as a result of a drop, or spill, or any other damage. I don't recall having put any new or different apps on it, recently, either.
The triple click of the Home button does open the camera, and the screen lights right up, perfectly. It takes it's usual beautiful pics, and I'm able to use all of the camera functions. I'm even able to view any photos I took during that particular session, buy not any prior pics, because I'm unable to unlock the phone.
"Hey Google!!" also reacts, and will display the result of any question that I may ask it, but I'm unable to go into the answers, without the ability to unlock my phone.
I have been able to get the phone into safe mode, while attempting to power it off, by pressing the power button, and then tapping on "power off" (although this hasn't worked every time I've tried). While in safe mode, "safe mode" is displayed in the bottom left hand corner, but nothing else appears on the screen.
Upon powering up the phone, all of the normal things happen. It shows "Samsung" and goes on to the blue screen to show the "Trac Fone" logo, but once the phone is booted up, the screen is black!!
PLEASE tell me that you were able to find a solution to this!!! I went and purchased a new Moto G7, (since I had a Droid Turbo 2 in the past, and it was amazing!!), and I'm beyond ready to get back to my J7 Crown!! PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks so much!!!
By the way, I'm a newbie here, as If you couldn't tell!!
