Hello everyone,
This thing has happened with all of us that our phone got locked and we don't know the pattern/password/PIN or either we ran out of our chances to enter it ( I hate those small kids ). So here's how you can unlock your device without factory reset. It should work on all devices with any android version (except the ones with locked bootloaders). You don't require root for this.
The pattern is stored in /data/system/gesture.key and password/PIN is stored in /data/system/password.key. So, what I did is, I just deleted the "gesture.key" and "password.key" files.
Here's the updater-script
Code:
ui_print("Mounting /data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
ui_print("Removing saved pattern/password/pin...");
delete("/data/system/gesture.key");
delete("/data/system/password.key");
ui_print("Unmounting /data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
THINGS REQUIRED
1) minimal adb and fastboot tool installed
2) PC with fastboot drivers for your device installed (Check your device forum for fastboot drivers for your device)
3) Custom recovery image for your device. You can use any custom recovery, but twrp and cwm are preferred.
You can search in your device forum for custom recoveries.
WHAT TO DO
1) Download the zip from the attachments and place it on your device.
2) Put the recovery.img for your device in "minimal adb and fastboot" folder on your pc.
2) Open your device in fastboot mode. (Search your device forum for this)
3) Press "Shift + Right Click" in adb and fastboot folder, and choose "open command window here"
4) Now type "fastboot devices" in the cmd window to check your device. If it says, no device found then you have not installed fastboot drivers correctly.
5) Now, type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (you must use the exact name of the recovery image you downloaded or you can rename it to recovery.img)
6) Your device will reboot into recovery.
7) Now select "Install zip" and choose the UNLOCK_PHONE_BY_SASUKAY.zip on your device.
8) Reboot your device.
Done!!
Now the next time you boot, you can enter any "more than 3-dot" pattern, if it asks. You can set new pattern or whatever, now.

I made a video to show how easy it is :-

This will work for all the device having the gesture.key and password.key files in /data/system/ directory. I'm sure it'll work on any phone with any rom. (But, you can never be 100% sure with Samsung devices )
I have a similar problem - thanks for the tips!

You can also unlock your phone without installing any tool or app.

I was unlocking the bootloader so i could root the phone. I was successful but now my phone is stuck on the google screen with the unlocked pad at the bottom.
Through the forum i found that i'm missing the boot image so i found that.
I pulled in my phone to the computer and typed "fastboot flash boot test_boot.img". it comes up with "error: cannot load test_boot"
The same thing happened when i tried to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" aswell to try and fix it that way but the same error came up.
I made sure the file names were correct.
Please help!!

do you have the proper drivers installed? if not, go directly to PdaNets website http://junefabrics.com/android/ and have it install the proper drivers onto your computer. this way is by far the easiest way to install the drivers. download and install the free program then just follow the directions on the screen.

EDIT: when i typed "fastboot devices" into CMD, it shows my device!
take a screenshot of your /sdk/tools folder.
(seriously do it).
OR if you don't want to.. does fastboot appear as "fastboot" or "fastboot.exe" ?

Okay, yeah. I see the problem, your extensions are hidden "recovery.img" is actually "recovery.img.img" so you're fastbooting a invalid file. What I want you to do is on the top left of a Windows explorer, it says Organize. Press that and go to folder options -> view -> hide extensions for known file types (UNCHECK THIS). Rename recovery.img.img so it appears as recovery.img not recovery.img.img
Put your phone in bootloader mode if it isn't already with USB plugged in.
The phone needs to be in bootloader mode in order for it to recognize the fastboot command.

yeah that meant it worked. you can access clockwork menu by going down to RECOVERY in the menu or "adb reboot recovery"
you install a ROM by...
1. Shop around the Dev forums and look for what ROM you want to use. I personally use CM7.
2. Use netarchy's kernel (its worth it).
Steps:
1. Put ROM onto your sdcard
2. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (told you above on how to do it)
3. Wipe Factory, Dalvik, Cache
4. Flash ROM (Proceed to flash CM7 Gapps afterwards if you decide to go with CM7)
5. Flash Kernel (Optional)
6. Reboot!
Ahhh, i updated without looking at your post first. Can i put the kernal on now that ive rebooted?
thank you for your help and time
hello there, i am trying to root my htc one x+
But while typing "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" to unlock the bootloader, i get the response "waiting for device" forever!
on the phone,it is showing "fastboot usb" and also the cell is being detected on normally being connected to the pc!
I even checked the device manager, all the drivers are proper, no exclamation mark near the htc device.
I downloaded the fastboot files from htcdev and ran it. Also downloaded and installed Android SDK as mentioned on htcdev.Also downloaded AdbWinApi.dll and Adb.exe from here:
http://adbshell.com/download/download-adb-for-windows.html
Placed all of them in a separate folder &ran the above command.
Also i copied adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusb.dll in win\system32 just in case.
i also ran the adb.exe
Also turned off the fastboot option on the device
Also restarted the pc and left it overnight just in case....
I have no idea what's going wrong! Any help!

sorry for the late reply....
I tried the same thing on different pc and it worked!
But i have another problem!
I installed cm11 nightly for my on my x plus from here:
http://get.cm/get/qG0
After that my imei has gone blank along with the baseband version.
I did a bit of research and found that by using ruu, u can get the imei back.
So for that i needed turn my s-on to s-off by the foll commands:
adb reboot
if i am not mistaken, while the phone is rebooting i am supposed to put the 2nd command:
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
The problem here that I think is the phone reboots so fast that i guess the command fails to execute and i get an error saying :
error protocol fault (no status)
So, how to turn off fastboot or quickboot in cm11? There is absolutely no option in the phone. I tried battery settings,power settings, everything!
is there a way to disable fastboot/quickboot in bootloader mode?
plz help!

i cant get OTA UPDATES after unlock the bootloader LOL
They do warn you specifically that pushed updates will no longer happen.
I think the solution is to find the updates from ASUS and use an app like FlashFire
There is a request for a Rom on the cyanogen forums.
Xposed worked like a charm.
It also appears that the kernel source is available although I'm not sure from where.
Still not sure where to find the ASUS updates
Thank you very much it works perfect, but how do you flash the recovery.img and boot.img to un-root?

Tutorials and the tools are not my work, so I don't take any credit. However, the tutorial is come from China. I combine my experience and translate them as much as I can to english.
Instructions:
First, download the root files (at the bottom of this post) accroding to your tablet model (at the back of your tablet) and install the driver in the computer.
Please install in the following order:
1) iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0.exe
2) IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0.exe
3) PhoneFlashTool_5.3.4.0_win32.exe
Pay attention to the following points
a) you must install those driver in the above order
b) Don't change the install location of those driver
c) Close your antivirus software to avoid unknow problem
Then, go to Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging. Enable OEM Unlock and enable USB Debugging Mode
Now, connect your X80 Plus to the computer,
Open a Command Prompt window in "Root X80 Plus H6C3" folder (To open a Command Prompt window in any folder, hold down the shift key and right-click on the folder) and enter the following command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Press Enter
Wait for the device to enter fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Press Enter to unlock the oem and enter the following command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Press enter to flash the kernal, then enter the following command
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command will restart your tablet.
It is normal that tablet reboot 3 to 4 times automatically, just wait for it. (turn on the tablet yourself if the tablet do not reboot automatically)
After your device is on, check that Wifi and bluetooth works or not. (Wifi and Bluetooth may not works with the replaced kernal, just perform a factory reset)
If everything is ok, enter the following command
Code:
root.bat
Wait for the Command Prompt until it stuck at this command, "adb shell su --daemon"
Now, disconnect the tablet and reboot it manuly
After the device was booted up, Supersu already become a part of system app.
Open Supersu now, it will notify that the SU binary needs to be updated. You must need to install the binary once, but you will fail at 100%(unless there is a miracle, and your tablet is root successfully, congratulations)
Close Supersu and reconnect the tablet, enter the following command again.
Code:
root.bat
Now the command prompt should run all of the command smoothly and Supersu should have no message about the SU binary update !!
Therefore, if your Supersu shows nothing (works properly), your tablet is rooted, thats amazing.
If Supersu keep notifing, please enter the following command again and wait for it to boot up automatically until Supersu have no message about the binary update.
Code:
root.bat
Note that this root method are not stable yet
Known issues:
1) Old version of Titanium Backup was unable to execute the SU command
2) LBE are not 100% compatible with this root
Post reply if you have any requires or problem.
Stock Rom for X80 Plus just in case you need them, and the instruction will be translated later

Please report if you do not encounter this issue.
Hi.
I'm stuck on "adb push SUfiles/Superuser.apk /data/superuser" command in root.bat
I've done all the previous steps without problems.
Before executing root.bat I have set again Usb Debug and OEM Unlock, is it correct?
Sometimes I get stuck on "adb remount"
What can I check?
Thanks
Woody
I just got this tablet a few days ago so I was wondering if it was possible to root it as I already have a primary phone that I use.
Search the WEB for "root any MTK device"

Will the method still work even though it's not a MTK device? On CPU-Z it says it's a ARM Cortex device.
ARM Cortex is a processor technology,, what in your case is used by MediaTek when they developed and produced the chipset for your phone.
That seems to make sense. I'll try the method when my laptop charges back up. Thanks for the help

The method doesn't seem to work because after doing
adb reboot bootloader
The device just reboots and when I do
fastboot oem unlock, it gets stuck on waiting
What's the method you always are referring to?

The mtk one you told me about
I was following this to be more specific
The steps to prepare programmatically unlocking a phone's bootloader by means of fastboot what most people do - me included - are
Code:
adb devices <- your phone must be listed here
adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported" <- The return value must be 1, if not then don't proceed
adb reboot fastboot <- or: fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot devices <- your phone must be listed here
to verify the phone is succesfully connected and acting in fastboot ( aka bootloader ) mode.
If phone isn't shown then a fastboot connection doesn't got established.
adb devices - works
adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported" - I get a 1
adb reboot fastboot - device just reboots normally
fastboot reboot bootloader - says <waiting for any device>
fastboot devices - just shows a empty line of text

You simply confirmed that fastboot isn't working.
Hints:
1. Install its latest version ( -> see my signature )
2. Additionally install the "Android USB Driver" suitable to your phone: with regards to some phones this driver is also needed to make fastboot working - may be your phone is one of these.

I've finished doing 1 and 2. Do I retry going into fastboot again?

Do what you think is right ...
It seems that the device is still unable to go into fastboot mode.
I will double check to make sure
In @Oskii 's defense, I've had some Alcatel devices that somehow seemed to have fastboot disabled (namely the Alcatel 1 / Orange Rise 54, IIRC), I don't know how though. It's just impossible to boot into any bootloader/fastboot mode (or at least I never found out how).
I *did* manage to (sort of) root them using a method I don't remember (sorry ; it was an obscure app), but it was unreliable : root wouldn't always "get applied/stick" after boot and I had to reboot and cross my fingers to make it work again.
I know it's not of much help, but still…
It's still not working :v
It cannot without booting to fastboot mode.
