[TUTORIAL]ByPass Pattern

Having protection and security on your Android device is one essential thing you should take into consideration, especially if there are people who tend to snoop around your device without your permission. The possibility of actually forgetting the pattern you’ve set to unlock your device is not that high, but it may happen. What’s worse, your friend may have messed around with your Android device and set a completely different unlock pattern, leaving you stumped when you try to unlock your device.
In situations like that, you could lose all hope and start bickering with the perpetrator (either your friend or yourself), not realizing that there is a way to go around that misfortune. Thanks to XDA Developers member m.sabra, an easy way to regain access to your locked device has been made for your perusal.
This guide will work on any Android device, rooted or not. It uses the Android Debug Bridge or ADB. If you are having a hard time recalling what ADB is or you don’t know what it is, check our article about how to install the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) and how to setup and use ADB (Android Debug Bridge).
In this guide, learn how to bypass the security pattern lock on your Android device.
Warning
The instructions in this guide reportedly work for both rooted and non-rooted devices. Root privileges, however, make this guide work in most cases. Several users have reported that the guide does not work in certain non-rooted devices.
The information in this guide is provided for instructional and educational purposes only. There is no guarantee that these instructions will work under your specific and unique circumstances.
Use these instructions at your own risk. We shall not hold any responsibility or liability for whatever happens to you or your device arising from your use of the info in this guide.
Read and understand the whole guide first before actually performing the instructions.
Requirements
Any Android device with USB Debugging enabled, preferably rooted; or, if not rooted, the device must be running a kernel that grants root access to the adb shell.
To enable USB Debugging on devices running Android 4.0 and up, go to Settings > Developer Options. Check the box beside the USB Debugging option.
For devices running on older versions of Android, go to Settings > Applications > Development. Check the box beside the USB Debugging option.
A computer with ADB installed
For help in setting up ADB on your computer, check our article about how to setup and use ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
Your device’s USB cable
Make sure your device’s battery is charged 75% or more to avoid interruptions during the process.
Backup all personal data on your phone to make sure you have a copy of your personal data (e.g., contacts, SMS, MMS, Internet settings, Wi-Fi passwords, and the like) in case the procedure in this guide erases such data.
For backup tips, check our guides on how to sync your data to the cloud and how to create local backups of your mobile data.
Instructions
Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.
On your computer, open a terminal window (or command prompt on Windows-based machines).
Type in the following commands at the terminal or command prompt window. Press Enter after every line:
Code:
adb shell
The prompt should display a # rather than a $. Otherwise, enter su to switch to the root user.
Code:
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
sqlite3 settings.db
update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';
update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';
.quit
exit
adb reboot
After your device has rebooted, enter the following commands at the terminal:
Code:
adb shell
The prompt should display a # rather than a $. Otherwise, enter su to switch to the root user.
Code:
rm /data/system/gesture.key
exit
adb reboot
Your device will reboot. After it reboots and asks for a security pattern, you can use any pattern and the device will still unlock.
Once you regain access to your device, make sure to change the system security settings to re-select another unlock pattern.
Congratulations! You have successfully bypassed the pattern unlock on your device. You don’t need to panic anymore because you now know that there is a way back into your phone after you’ve been locked out.

I use pattern lock and I am rooted. But I make sure the USB de-bugging mode under Developer options is never ticked (I only turn it on specifically when required and then switch it off). My phone is also encrypted using the stock settings options. These 2 things will render the above technique useless and make your phone a much secure object.

Still it can be cracked even if you are not rooted and USB Debugging is turned off, by Aroma File Manager

Forgotten lock screen pin password

I have forgotten my lock screen pin password and so can't access my device.I have however found a method on XDA to bypass or remove the pin password (without wiping data) but that requires usb debugging enabled.Since i have usb debugging disabled and stock recovery with locked bootloader, is there anyway to enable usb debugging so that i can delete the .key via adb in command prompt?
here is the above method

"METHOD 2
Solution For Everyone Without Recovery Installed - ADB :
What You Need:
=>A computer running a Linux distro or Windows+Cygwin
=>USB cable to connect your phone to the PC
=>Adb installed
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Connect you (turned on) Phone to the Computer via USB.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Type:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
su
rm *.key
4. Done...Now You Just Have To Reboot.
Note : If You See The Gesture Pattern Grid Or Password After Restarting, Don't Worry. Just Try Any Random Pattern Or Password And it Should Unlock."

This one is more easy to use and also no need to wipe any data.So data would be safe

How to enable usb debugging when the phone is locked.(pattern forgotten)

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. I found a solution online to get usb debugging on through adb , but I am a ultra noob and don't understand how that has to be done. please dumb it down so that I can save my precious data and unlock my phone when debugging gets enabled. Also I don't have any custom recovery installed on my phone.
This is what is mentioned in the solution.
"Instructions
1. You should try your pattern-cracking software (or whatsoever the genre it has) from inside the Stock Recovery to see whether it works with the former's environment (ADB shell available there or not).
2.Since I would never try step 1., I would do the following:
-For Jellybean 4.2.1:
1. Boot into Recovery and mount Data partition.
2. Open a shell on PC and type:
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config ~/
Repace ~/ with home directory of your OS.
3. Open that file in a text editor and you would possibly see mtp written there. Change it to mtp,adb.
Note that sometimes Android doesn't understand the text file changes if the line terminator is "DOS Terminators" which Notepad would probably do on Windows (mine is Linux so no issue here).
In that case, I would suggest not using adb pull but doing:
adb shell
echo 'mtp,adb' > /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
You may verify that the echo command overwrote the file by using:
adb pull /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config ~/
and seeing the file's content in some text editor.
4. Unmount Data and reboot into Android OS. USB Debugging would probably be enabled.
-For Lollipop 5.0:
JB 4.2.1 users can also follow this method if the previous one didn't work for them.
1. Boot into Recovery and mount Data partition.
2. Repeat step 2 and 3 used in JB 4.2.1 method.
3. We need to tweak some parameters in settings.db. Type:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db ~/
4. Back it up at some other location too, and open the file in an SQLITE editor. I'm running Linux and DB Browser for SQLite works well. It's also available for Windows OS/OSX.
5. In the global table, change the value for:
adb_enabled to 1
development_settings_enabled to 1
6. Check that verifier_verify_adb_installs is set to 1 in the global table.
7. Check that as default, in the secure table:
adb_notify is 1
adb_port is -1
These checks in step 6 and 7 are not necessary but should be done so that troubleshooting becomes rather easy if the solution doesn't work for you.
8. Save the changes in settings.db and copy it back into Android by typing:
adb shell
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
exit
adb push ~/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
That delete (rm) command is not necessary since adb push should overwrite the file, but I executed it for my peace of mind.
8. Unmount Data and reboot into Android OS. ADB probably would be enabled.

Please help me understand this code and be a life saver.
Thanks in advance..

You are stuck, I'm afraid. You won't be able to run any script on stock recovery, but you can't flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader which will wipe your data.
What's more, your phone should be encrypted (if it's running 6.0 or higher), which means you'll need to know the pattern to decrypt after a reboot.
If you can't figure out the pattern, there's nothing you can really do.

Is there any way I can create backup of the data in these conditions?

Unfortunately for you in this case, there isn't.
From a general security perspective, if there was it would mean the pattern lock and encryption can be bypassed, which would be very bad.

How to unlock bootloader for Intex Aqua Life 3 and what custom rom will be good for it?

Hello everyone. I want to unlock bootloader of my Intex Aqua Life 3. I searched entire internet but no one has even taken the name of it neither a single document is available. It is a very old phone and have a lot of problems like battery goes 43 from 88 in 2-3 seconds while it is idle. So, I was thinking if installing a cutom rom can solve it. I was very much concerned on trying games on it. I dont play pubg mobile, cod mobile or anything like that. I play brawl stars only. Otherwise my primary gaming machine is my laptop. Please help me regarding the bootloader thingy here and don't worry, it's not my primary phone so no need to backup data, worrying about phone get bricked etc. It was our very old device that no one uses anymore so I thought to use it for my testings and experiments.

Unlocking your Android 5.1 based device's bootloader typically is achieved by this ADB / Fastboot command sequence - requires of course option OEM Unlock is available in Android -> Settings - Developer option and got enabled:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock

requires of course option OEM Unlock is available in Android -> Settings - Developer option and got enabled:
192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1

But where do I type this ADB commands? How can my phone know if it's being feed in it or not?

Applying ADB / Fastboot commands requires the CLIs got installed on your computer.
If you are unsure whether they are already installed or not, and you're on a Windows PC, you in Windows OS's command prompt simply run
Code:
where /R C: \ adb.exe
to check it.

Need to unlock my Android Lenovo Tab without factory reset.

So I tried to get back to my old Lenovo tab which I haven't used in like 2 years. But I forgot the pin code. I don't know its android version and don't know the model either. But when connected to my laptop, it shows Lenovo TB-8704V.
Speed Test https://vidmate.bid/
I tried various methods suggested on the internet but they haven't worked. I don't use any 3rd party lock screens so safe mode doesn't do anything, I have no emergency call buttons, android device manager doesn't list my tab to unlock it, factory reset wipes the photos in them which I need. I don't know anything about ADB software but I'm pretty sure my tab has USB debugging enable but I'm not sure about OEM something settings and whatever the case, typing in adb says adb isn' recognized in the command prompt. I went to a site to download ADB and extracted the downloaded file and ran adb.exe but it didn't do anything.
So, can you help me out here?

First thing unlocking bootloader without reset is same lime entering the room without opening the door
Second thing to run adb command you must use ./adb "command"
