So my friend put a pattern lock on my 1st gen moto g(xt-1033)(non-root) and by the time I came to realize what happened and asked him the pattern, he had forgotten the pattern crying:). We have tried several patterns but I am still locked out. I am not sure if debugging was on or not and it's not detected by any pc for some reason (I guess you have to unlock it first for the pc to detect it).
I really can't afford to do a factory reset. I need the data.
Can any dev or anyone help me unlock my phone without losing any data?
I'd really really appreciate any kind of help.
TIA.

My father in law recent had a cardiac arrest and is now in a coma. I was given his phone by the police and as expected it's got a lock screen requesting a PIN code. Multiple missed pin entries do not bring up a reset with his google account. I'd strongly prefer not to do a hard reset as to avoid deleting any important or sentimental data. I've done a bunch of reading to see how to unlock the phone that involve CWM amongst other methods but the phone is neither rooted nor has USB debugging enabled which seems to make all the methods I've found unhelpful. The phone also does not have data nor Wifi enabled which makes things worse.
Can anyone point me to a method that would not require USB debugging to be turned on? If the data is permanently locked, is there a way to at least back it up?
Thanks in advance for any help

I think the best bet be to take your phone to a samsung service centre and explain to them what happened.Maybe they have some trick up their sleeve.
A friend of mine bought a Galaxy S6, and has used it for a few months now. He has it locked with the finger print scanner. I'm sure this topic has been covered here before. The scanner no longer recognizes his finger print, and his back up password doesn't seem to work for some reason. Both Verizon and Samsung say all he can do is a factory reset. Samsungs findmymbobile was not setup on his phone. Googles ADM is useless all of a sudden. It tells you that since the phone is locked, there's no need to lock it to the specified password. He's fine with doing a factory reset, however, he has a ton of photos (he never setup cloud storage either) of his kids he is desperate to save. He's asking for my help. I told him I'd take a look, but it's pretty tough to do much of anything when I can't enable USB debugging.
A couple questions;
When I boot into odin on the phone, there's an option to enable USB debugging. Does this actually do anything? It seemed to reboot the phone and just bring me to the password screen again.
Is there any way I can root the phone and remove the password, while maintaining the pictures on the phones internal storage?
Is there anything else that has made its way into the scene for dealing with this bug? I've done a bit of research, and it seems it's happened to quite a few people.
Apparently when you don't use the pattern lock, it does not give you the option to unlock your screen with your google account credentials. Google has been no help in this matter.
If this has already been answered in the past, I apologize.
Thanks for the help.
Hello guys,
Can anyone introduce a way to unlock the pattern of Samsung a30s-fn (a307fn) with Android 10?
The bootloader is locked and the phone has a warranty.
ADB is detected on the computer and known the device, but the ADB shell does not open.
If you know the path of the pattern lock file, state the address, or if you know an other way, help meeeeee.
Certainly, your efforts are well appreciated.
I´ll be honest with you, I have no idea of how to unlock a device like that.
So if you want to use the phone, I´ll recommend you to save the important files and factory reset on recovery.

This could help, but I feel you can damage your device.
If either Samsung or Google find my device junk is active I think you can use that.
This why I never password lock a phone.
You will lose access sooner or latter even though the device is right in front of you.
A hardware failure is all it takes.
Hello,
This is my first post here and I'm really desperate.
My phone has a fingerprint, face scanner, and pattern unlocks configured. On Friday I changed my pattern and as you know after 72 hours MIUI asks you to re-enter your pattern. Yesterday on Monday I tried entering it and I found out that I had forgotten the pattern I set on Friday ( I know I'm stupid for not backing up the important things I had there but I've been dealing with many personal problems and I'm currently not very stable at the moment)
I went through many threads and I didn't find a solution to remove the pattern unlock without losing my files or to at least allow me to backup some important things like the pictures and videos of my father before his death and some other important files that are currently there.
Is there any way I can disable the pattern unlock and make fingerprint unlock or the face unlock the primary unlocking methods? because these ones are also configured.
What options do I have to fix this without losing the data?
is there any way I can unlock the bootloader ,root the device and install a custom recovery without losing my data ?
I would really appreciate it so much if I can get any advice on how to proceed with this.
Thank you very much and I do apologize for my English.
Hello all,
Even though it is my first post, I'm an old member...
I know people is alwas asking for that answer but I need to ask it before having to reset my phone.
I've never used the pattern way of locking my phone and rather used instead password but I decided to use a pattern to lock my phone and now that I've forgotten it, I'm stuck...
My phone is on stock Rom, locked bootloader and USB debugging mode activated.
Is there any way to bypass that security and to use my phone again WITHOUT wiping anything (I'm on travel and I completely depend on my saved datas, that's why I'm looking for any way to do that) or am I just wasting my time ???
I know a lot of people will tell me that it's not possible but I'm still hoping that one will tell me it is and will give me the way to do that...
Thank you all...
