1.) No Malware or any harm application is installed in the device.
2.) Owner uses strong password (no pattern, no pin, no smart unlock).
If it is possible, then who can unlock it?
-Can Google company unlock it, If it wants?
-Can phone manufacturer unlock it, if it wants? (like Samsung, One plus, Sony etc).
-Can service center's unlock it, if they want?
-Can FBI/NSA or any one in the world unlock it?
If it can be unlocked, then what information can be retrieved?
Do they need to reset the phone, in order to unlock it, or phone can be unlocked without any reset, and they can access the data.
Nothing is impossible, but just tell me as far as you guys know.

I'm trying to get into repairing, flashing networks/roms, buying and reselling phones.
So I need to know how to be able to change a cell phones carrier too.
I don't want to buy locked icloud iphones or stolen phones but I know it does sometimes happen no matter how much u try to avoid it. So if this does happen I would like to Also know what I can do to bypass this:
If there a way to bypass icloud lock, patter locks/pin code locks, what can I do about bad ESN/imei?
how can I unlock androids phones and iPhone phones so I can use them with any carrier?
How can I unlock an android/iPhone to work on a different carrier?
What's the best jailbreak method for android
and best jailbreak method for androids?
Help with all this would be greatly appreciated ;") thanks!!!
Bypass?
The thing is to switch carriers, you will first have to determine what carrier the phone is with, then contact the Carrier and ask them if they could unlock it to use with other carriers. However, this does not mean it will work with all carriers.
Q:Can i bypass icloud?
A: At the moment this is only possible with the iPhone 4, on every other iphone model, you are forced to enter Original apple id and password
Q:Can i unlock and android with Pin,Password,pattern, etc.
A:Yes this is possible by wiping the phone or also hard reseting. To do this, you will have to press+hold a certain button combination. (Varies on what device it is. For example: On a Gaalxy note 3 the combination would be Volume Up+Home+Power. To navigate you will have to use volume rockers. Once your done with that,A menu will apear and one of the options will be "Reset or Factory Reset". You will then confirm Nd youll have an unlocked device.

There are many reasons why people need to root their phones. We're glad to have phones like the Pixel 3 with unlockable bootloaders. Google requires that the bootloader remains unlocked to have a rooted phone. A security warning about the unlocked bootloader is displayed every time the phone starts.
In an ideal world, once the phone is configured the way the owner likes (including root), it should be possible to re-lock the bootloader, entering a password required to unlock again, and perform lock and unlock without wiping the phone.
With the current status quo, what steps can the owner take to improve security and reduce the attack surface of a stock but rooted Pixel 3 - from both wireless and app-borne threats, as well as physical threats (e.g stolen phone)?

Just the usual stuff, use a strong pin or passcode to access the device. And don't side load apps from shady sources.
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, XDA.
I bought a Moto e 2020 Unlocked (Renewed) thru Amazon, and it's apparently Not unlocked.
When powering up, it shows "Xfinity Mobile".
A search in this forum found threads that tell us how to unlock the Bootloader.
Is That what I want? What is the Bootloader?
Will That procedure then make the phone Unlocked, so that I can activate it on RedPocket?
Thanks.

Hi, unlocking your device leads, unfortunately, to the lost of your guarantee once you have a problem with it. So, my advice would be: not unlock it. Kind regards, kuzibri
Thanks for the reply, Kuzibri, but I Think I'm not worried about the Warranty.
This is a Used (refurbished) device.
Will unlocking the "bootloader" allow me to use it with another service provider?
AFAIK, your device is connected to a specific provider and unlocking it does not allow you to choose another provider, but only allows you to downlaod, f.i., apps that are not allowed to be downloaded from the app store or gives you the opportunity to install a different ROM on your device. Kind regards kuzibri
Really?
Unlocking it will Not allow moving service to another provider?
Gee... I thought that's usually the Purpose of unlocking these devices.
As I already said, unlocking a device does not allow you to switch to another provider. The main purpose of unlocking is to download apps that the Store refuses or to install another custom ROM on your device. If you want another provider, you have to switch from your current provider and choose another one, which, in general, also means another SIM card and if you're lucky, the new provider lets you keep your current phone number, otherwise you will get a new one (rather disturbing IMHO). Regards kuzibri
Hello~ if you're looking for a new service provider, then the 'unlock' you're referring to is probably the network lock, which locks your device to certain network provider/s. So i suggest you search in that direction. regards.
Well, Thanks, Fjildeth, for that clarification.
Apparently there IS a Difference between unlocking the Network, and unlocking the Bootloader.
THAT was my original question.
Yes, I want to make this new phone usable on a network other than Xfinity.
So, unlocking the Bootloader will Not do what I want... correct?

Yes. unlocking the bootloader is a different matter, and isn't what you're looking for. I suggest you go search for 'SIM lock' topics. there's a lot of guides regarding this. Hope you'll find a way.
If you want to make your new phone usable for a network other than Xfinity, then the solution lies in the SIM card corner. Each SIM card is coupled to a certain provider. If you put your current SIM card in another device, it will still be the Xfinity network and not another provider. Alas, you will need another provider with the accompanying SIM card to switch from network. And indeed: "So, unlocking the Bootloader will Not do what I want... correct?", this is correct.
Yes. Unlocking the bootloader will trigger a factory reset that erases all device settings, user data, third-party applications and associated data from the device's hardware storage.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you will be able to root or flash custom ROMs. But keep in mind that there is a reason why every Android comes with a locked bootloader. While locked, it will only boot the operating system that is on it. This is extremely important for security reasons.
Unlocking your bootloader is not recommended if you don't want to install a custom ROM on your device. Bootloader protects you from various data theft attacks and provides security features.
Why would I unlock? To debloat and install different ROM for security reasons.
Problem with this was, to unlock the bootloader, you have to make an account using emails, passwords, telephone number and logging onto the phone, giving them phones UID datas, thus removing the reason to do it, for the security and privacy.
Installing Mi Unlock tool on the computer, give them more system details, and then you have to wait 1 week (or 2?) just to unlock the bootloader, to 'apply' for an unlock. Which meant I couldnt use the phone for a few weeks, whole point of getting it...
Was rather upset in having to do this, as there shouldnt have to be a reason to do all this for a phone unlock. Now theres a nice row on Chinese databases with phones unique id, telephone number and emails, which will never disappear...
Phones are totally locked nowadays, anyone else upset/annoyed with all these systems?
bit of a rant as im rather annoyed still.
