Is your device rooted? And is "Usb Debugging" enabled?

[Q] Force USB-debugging to force activate dataconnection (not rooted phone)?

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.

broken screen (black) how do i unlock my phone

hello, my friend has dropped her phone and now the screen is black and i dont know if the touch still works, she wants me to get her photos off the phone but it needs to be unlocked so the pc can see the files,
what options have i got to retrieve the files? ive tried one of the programs but you need to turn on debugging which obviously i cant do with out seeing the screen, which was frustrating after there great advertising!
thanks for any help
my friend has remembered her gmail details that the phone is connected too, does this help? i can install apps to the phone using my pc but dont know how this helps me?
If i can get usb debugging turned on somehow then getting the files off would be easy, is there an app or something that can do this remotely?
Im guessing not as nothings coming up with a search :?

Locked out of Samsung S8 [SM-G950F]

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone could help me please...?
Android Recovery
samsung/dreamltexx/dreamlte
8.0.0/R16NW/G950FXXU4CRJ5
Also an Exynos not Snapdragon
I am in possession of my mums Samsung S8 SM-G950F, she has had to send it to me from Australia. Her ex husband activated a 6 digit pin code screen lock. We haven't a clue what this is and obviously he wont tell her what it is.
I spent a while on google and thought I may be able to sort it, I received the phone yesterday and I am still yet to crack it. She has photos on there that she would like to save.
I cannot get in to the phone to enable oem unlock or usb debugging so that leaves me very limited as to what I can do with the phone.
Has anyone got any ideas or know of a way I can get in to the phone to delete the pin lock or even flash stock firmware that may reset the settings so there is no lock activated? I even looked up how to use Rubberducky to create a script to put on a usb or sd card that will run and try all the number combinations to hack the pin code. But unfortunately I didn't find anything that would work.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Lee

LG-X210MA lockscreen bypass issue (LG Aristo 2) no DBG mode enabled

Hey guys, I am trying to bypass the pin code on an LG-X210MA which I believe is a LG Aristo 2. I have downloaded several apps that claim they can bypass the Lockscreen without deleting all the data, however once I get to the actual button, it says "WARNING ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED."
This is for a friend, and he really needs some text messages on the phone, but he cannot remember his password, and never enabled ADB mode, which would have made this a BREEZE to do.
I have no idea what to do next, so I figured I would consult with the experts. Can anything be done? Can I somehow dump the phone? I am an IOS user, so this is out of my realm.
Thank you in advance y'all, I hope i put this in the right place.
u should use octoplus box!

Forgot KnockCode Lock on LS777, need help figuring out my options

Hello, I recently found an LG Stylo 3 in one of my drawers that has a knock code on it. I don't remember the code and I already tried 66 times to unlock it (it now takes 240 seconds between each attempt). No "Forgot Password" or backup pin option shows up, USB Debugging is on but it's unauthorized, and the mode that it's on when I connect the phone to my PC is Charging Only. I just want to know what pictures I have saved on it, or if I can pull out my photos or something. I can't reboot into bootloader from the recovery options, it just reboots my phone. I'm able to go into recovery, and safemode, update from adb puts it into sideload mode, and it's connected to my wifi but because I changed my passwords on my google accounts already, the phone doesn't show up in any of my google device manager accounts.
Everything is stock, no custom recovery or firmware and it's not rooted.
What can I do now? Is there a way to reset my password or bypass it entirely? I don't care how technical it is, if given a good guide I can do it. I can't find anything to help me, hopefully someone can help my problem here.
Before anything, I didn't steal the phone, it's my old phone I had when on Virgin Mobile, I can give as much proof as I can to show that it is my phone if needed. I just don't remember the knock code
Thanks!
