would unlocking the bootloader ( which wipes the device) do it ?

Did you try contacting Motorola?

I read that the stock recovery is messed up. If you want to factory reset then chose the option above, ie the text you see in the menu does not align with the actual option that will be chosen.

thanks for reply guys,
I dont want to unlock the bootloader as it voids the warranty.
I contacted Motorola, but no reply.
Is there any other way to factory reset this device?
BTW Happy New Year to all

Did you read my post just above yours? You use the stock recovery, just highlight the option ABOVE the option you actually want within the recovery.

cheers mate!

[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

Here ya go

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.

Note 5 No Signal

hello i just purchased a verizon note 5 and for some reason the device is getting no signal. ive inserted a valid sim card the device recognizes it but yet no matter what i do there is no signal bars or LTE, when i look into it the signal strength is -113dbm and 0 asu. does anyone have expierence with this issue or know how to fix it?
i have already had all the hardware diagnosed and everything is working perfectly, could this be a firmware or modem issue? any help is appreciated

I would suggest that you either do a factory reset or re-flash whichever firmware you have on the phone already using Odin on a Windows pc.. You'll need to get Samsung USB drivers and if there's anything you would like to save you can use the application called Smart Switch to backup your stuff and Smart Switch can even install the latest firmware update but I would suggest you use Odin to re-flash the firmware you have already on the phone! The easiest thing to do would really be just a factory reset but first you NEED to enable oem unlock in developer options and also need to allow USB debugging if you do not turn oem unlock to enabled you'll end up stuck.. After you enabled these all you need to do is hold the volume down button and power button at the same time until it shuts off and turns back on then select factory reset and let it finish... This will basically reset and get rid of anything on the phone so like I said if you want to save something do it before you factory reset or you'll lose it all... DO NOT FORGET ABOUT OEM UNLOCK, SERIOUSLY!!!

[HELP] Softbrick due to FRP Lock?

Hi there,
apparently I screwed something up while trying to prepare my 6X for Lineage
I did the OEM unlock but FRP Lock is still active and somehow this prevents me from doing anything else.
The combination of problems seems quite special, I've found (and tried) a lots of tipps for softbricked devices here but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
When restarting I get the warning that the device is not secure and will boot now - however it is stuck on "booting now" until the battery is drained.
It starts into Android when charged again but on every restart it will be stuck again.
When in "booting now" only Vol- key combination works when connected via USB to a PC. All other combinations (Vol+ , Power and Vol+/-) have no effect. Doesn't matter if connected to PC or not.
I can only get into fastboot, however I can't flash images (remote command not allowed), seems to be because of FRP lock.
The device is recognized (fastboot devices) and HiSuite sees it too. Drivers are OK IMHO.
Simply locking it again is not possible, the fastboot lock/unlock options don't work and when booted OEM unlock is greyed out in the options.
dload method is not available, because I can't get into erecovery since the key combination doesn't work.
I also tried factory reset, but:
doing it in the options doesn't work - it reboots and is then stuck in booting. After charging it everything is still there, so no reset at all.
doing it with *#*# 2846579#*#* doesn't work - says can't do it because I have a google account. Removed the device from my account, message remains.
erecovery is not available, can't get in the menue
Any help is greatly appreciated, I would be very happy to just restore it to default settings.
Cheers

Did you removed your screen lock password before unlocking bootloader?

yes, i did. At the moment I don't have a screen lock pw set. Should I set one?

Maybe you need to use dc unlocker

hm, not sure. I got the unlock code from Huwai and it worked. I read up on dc unlocker, how do you think it could help?

Look into DC unlocked Phoenix. It can write to the phone in fastboot mode if the bootloader and frp is locked. I used it and it worked... Cost 20 dollars not better than buying a new phone

Thanks, will try it in the next days and post my results.

Question Forgot unlock pattern on GW 4

Hi All
I had long time to use my smartwatch and "managed" to forget my unlock pattern
It's not inside my Find my device Samsung service and the only way is via offline hard reset
I can't turn it off or restart.
As I have the purchase receipt I can do at Samsung repair center but I was wondering if any flash tool or way available to avoid the cost
Thanks

If you have US LTE device... then no idea...
But if you see in Reboot Menu...
Bootloader unlock....
This makes FAC Reset.
Then you can in same menu Bootloader lock...
NOT Flashing!
Only unlock/lock...
Good Luck.
Best Regards

I have a EU non LTE version, my problem is that I cant reboot to Bootloader . still I need to put the correct pattern to turn off or restart

Only to be sure...
You can not hold both keys to enter Reboot Menu?
Btw.
Maybe if not Top Secret... why not tell complete Model Name?
Like SM-R860 or SM-R870 or?
Best Regards
Edit 1.
User with SM-R890 confirmed this as working...
Because I am not set Security crap like this. Not self tested...
Edit 2.
Visual help... look at 40 seconds... he enters Reboot Menu...
And I see at bottom:
Bootloader unlock...
This is possible with your mystiries Watch?

I did it and worked
I feel kinda stupid but on my previous attempts wasn't working
Many thanks for your support

Not forget to lock again...
Bootloader lock
This makes again FACtory Reset...
But then all "normal" settings...
Best Regards
