Hello,
I have Oneplus One 64 gb variant, yesterday my nephew somehow changed my phone's lock pattern and now my phone is locked. USB debugging was disabled at that time. I am not able to get into my phone through any means. I have lot of important data in my phone and don't want to hard reset my device. Also I don't have any custom recovery installed on my phone. I don't know how to get a backup of my data. Any help will be appreciated. Please help me get my precious data back.
Thanks in advance.

If you still have internet access on the device, you can try entering the pattern over and over incorrectly until the "forgot password" button appears. You'll then be able to sign in to your gmail account and reset the password without losing any data.

In Cm13s this "forgot pattern" option has been disabled for god knows what reasons. I have attempted to unlock 85 times and still counting but still no option has presented itself.

Oh.
Some custom recoveries give you the option to backup your data to the SD card. You could check if that's available in yours.
I'm not sure if its gonna backup everything (similar to a nandroid backup) or just your apps+their data.
If its the latter then you can backup->wipe device->restore. If its the former though, then there's not much point as the password would've gotten backed up as well.

apparantly i locked my TB with a pin code and woke up this morning and now i cant get into it at all. after 60 tries i thought it would ask me to enter my google account email and pw which i have but it hasnt. anyway to get past this??
Well that really sucks forgetting your pin code, but if it were easily worked around, it wouldn't be much of a security system, so it's not easy.
This Google help forum thread might help you out: http://www.google.com.tw/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1889ba0fa1e29183&hl=en
If you're rooted, with adb access you might be able to clear something in the system to reset it, but I'm not sure where to start with that if it's even an option.
Factory reset will certainly get you back into the phone, and shouldn't wipe your sdcard data, but I'd pull it out before resetting just to be safe.
thanks i appreciate it. i just cant believe after 75 tries it doesnt tell you to enter your gmail account info to get into the phone. i thought all androids did that

yeah. both my OG Droid and Fascinate made me type my Google credentials after a certain number of failed tries. Call VZW and see if there is a workaround. Keep us posted!
If you are rooted and using ClockWorkMod, u could restore a backup, that uses no pin or an old pin.
If you do have CWM and a earlier backup, I would perform a backup and then restore the earlier backup.
if you can do that and get into the OS again, you might be able to Run Advanced Restore in CWM and just restore the Data Partition from the backup of the pin locked one. (this is just a guess, Im not sure where the pin is saved but this may be the best way to not loose data)
I have a Nexus 5 that I have had since December that has been functioning flawlessly (Google replacement for my last one with busted glass)
I have not done anything to this device (no hacking, no ROMSs, no rooting), beside replace the battery....
A few days ago, I noticed that a bunch of my "custom" ringtones were not working anymore. They just stopped showing up on the ringtone picker. The same goes for my "custom" alarm tones. I also noticed that when I go to attach a picture (to a hangout message, or SMS) that the "Recent" category shows only 1 or 2 pictures (instead of all recent pics). However, when I use RootExplorer and look at the directories, all of the files are there. The ringtones, alarms, pictures, etc. In fact the only pictures that are showing up under the "Recent" category are the ones that have been taken since I began having the problem.
There is also some other weird things happening, like I have lost some contact pictures and the phone has been acting weird.
This phone got the 5.1 update and I have already tried to wipe the /cache partition. Again, all files are there, but Android is not recognizing them...
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I guess I was just hesitant because this is the 1st phone I have had that does not have an actual "SD card" so I was not sure how it would work...
Also, the phone is not rooted -- not sure if that matters

So to keep from loosing app data, I need to use Ti Backup -- but to use Ti Backup I need to have root access...
In order to get root access, I will have to wipe my phone and loose my app data.... -- Sounds like a never-ending feedback loop
This is why I wanted to wait to do a factory reset

If you don't know how to see that then probably it's locked because it comes locked out of the box. So I'm afraid you will have to wipe your device data to fix your issue. If you're still wondering how to see that you must turn off your device and hold volume down + power button, phone will turn on and green Android will appear. At the bottom you will see lock state of bootloader

Two ways: the first say is she should've had a backup pin setup initially... I don't know how it let her continue setup after setting up fingerprint security.
The second would be too download the firmware preferable from XDA in any forum.. Run Odin and flash the firmware and start over...all data will be lost that includes fingerprints.

Hi!
and Thank you!
No backup pin... but Password. and this - if it is the correct one she uses - doesn´t work.
(Internet is full of ths "Features", that Password don´t work)
i downloades Firmware from sammobile, and flashed it with Odin.
no changes. it still wants the Password - which don´t work.
BUT we have typed very often the Password 70times. so at the Moment there is no Fingerprint scanner.
don´t know how Long to wait till it will work again.
no data is lost.
next week, when we can use her Laptop again, we will reset the phone.
or there is an other way?

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and doing the factory reset that way?
no, not now.

Hello there,
Unfortunately I deleted an important video from my Verizon note 5. I been trying to recover the video for two days but no luck. I tried Samsung Data recovery, dr.fone, Recuva, and many different software. I came to the conclusion it's not possible without rooting my device which I would if I know how,but from what I read there was no successful way to root the Verizon version. Any idea, or a recommendation would be really appreciated.
Thank you!!

It's probably to late without having some sophisticated software recovery tools and taking the phone apart.. I guess if it was mine, I'd create a backup of everything I needed and then do a factory reset and when it asks to restore thing's after the reset tap yes and hope that it did back it up to your Google account and save it but I really think it's to late. Make sure you sign back in with the correct(same) Google account. Before doing any factory reset make sure OEM unlock is ENABLED in developer settings!!

It's could be to late because the memory blocks that it was stored on could have been overwritten already by now and that makes it to late it's gone and something else is in it's place.. That's why I said maybe your Google account might have backed it up so you can email Google and see what they say about it..

Thanks a lot for your try to help. It was not backed to the cloud for sure because it was deleted right after it was recorded. Do you think there is still any chance to recover it by the factory rest method? Also, Is there any software I can purchase to help ?

Probably not.. You can ask around but a lot of the software or apps people sell don't do what they say they can do but I would search around and try to read reviews on some of the applications because other people will tell you whether they've had any luck or not but I would look around before the factory reset because if you do that you're definitely overwriting the memory blocks for sure!!
Still looking for some way to recover the file but no luck. Didn't use the phone ever since.
I wonder if you have set up to sync before. If yes, maybe you can check out in the trash of Google Drive. It is allowed to recover deleted data within 60 days. Or you can try FORecovery to recover your data, which I have used before. As I know, it's have nothing to do with device version while the software identifying and rooting your phone. Anyway, just take a try. Hope this is not too late for you.

If the video is super important and you absolutely have to have it you should take it a recovery specialist and don't download or put anything else on the phone because it can overwrite the memory blocks.. Usually when you delete something the system just marks the memory blocks as reusable and able to be overwritten but if you don't do anything to cause it to be overwritten it's possible that it's still just sitting in the memory blocks and you just can't see it..
So i restored my phone. Via MSM. Updated. To lastest 11.0.9.9 international.
Unlock bootloader. Installed twrp. Restored data only, clear cache l. And phone will only boot to blank screen. I can access adb so is booted, but won't show lock screen or anything. Get power menu when i hold the power button. Can reboot to recovery fine. Any ideas what's going on?
Oh and trying to boot the other partition b gets me to Qualcomm dump. Just get back yo recovery and switch back to a and back to black screen.

Did you follow the instructions in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...covery-project-8t-kebab.4302449/post-85292199 ?
In particular, had you removed password before you took the backup?

Funny how i minds block things. Never saw the notes. It looked like what i have been doing in the past.
So haw many is a few restarts? How many is too many and time to give up?
And now that i think about it can't be sure if i removed my pin. (Did the backup few days ago and my memory bis crap lately )
