TL;DR Need help enabling USB Debugging on locked phone, need help retrieving data inside or need help gaining access to locked phone. (Galaxy S6 SM-G920V)
Hello! I've never used any kind of community like this, so maybe this is in the wrong section, but needless to say I need help. I've had a broken Galaxy S6 for two years, and I needed to recover my photos and stuff, but I had no luck since the digitizer didn't work and LCD was whacked, I had USB debugging turned off and couldn't do much. So now I've fixed the LCD and phone works just fine. But I forgot my pattern lock. Now I've got 2 more attempts before the phone resets. Now I can reset it and use it just fine, but if there's any hope for retrieving the pictures and app info stored in the phone, I'd very much appreciate it. Couldn't find answers on reddit, dr fone didn't work, and now I'm here. If someone is able to help me here, I'll gladly pay. I've got the Samsung Cloud account, but stupid mf's deleted my info because I didn't log in in 12 months, so no luck. So I need help retrieving the data inside. Will provide any proof that the phone is mine, just ask me. USB Debugging is turned off, and phone isn't rooted.
Thanks for reading, if anybody is able to help me, thank you so much.

I recently bought myself a transformer prime tf201 and i have had a pattern on it for a little while. A few friends attempted without me noticing to unlock it and eventually got to the stage where it asks for my google account username and password.
However even when i put those in its says invalid username or password, i have read this is a bug to do with multiple accounts.
I really dont want to factory reset the tablet. Ive seen apps that i can remote install to temporary bypass the lockscreen, however the tablet has wifi completely turned off so i cant do anything like that. Is there anyway over the usb connection to turn wifi on, install an app, or some how bypass the lock screen. Also if there is no way of doing that can i root the device and somehow get all my stuff back. I have had no luck so far, please help as i have no idea how i can get all my stuff back without resetting it. It would be greatly appreciated for an answer to my problem and if i have to root it a link to something helping me to do that.
Thanks heaps Brent.
ps. when the device is locked the usb connection is useless as nothing comes up on the computer
I have the same problem! my password is refused!
So my friend passed away and his mom asked me to unlock it so she can see the text messages and last calls he had before his accident.
I tried adb but i cant seem to enable usb debugging cause i cant get into the phone. Any more suggestions? or any help would work, thanks.
Reopened the thread. It seems there are plenty of guides on how to do this on this forum, like on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292671 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225695. However if those don't work, you might have to find someone to JTAG your phone or someone with forensics experience.
OK so I'm new to all this I actually never done one of these so excuse me if I'm not doing this right. But I've found a simple way of I don't know if you want to call a bypass but a way into the phone from being locked out and stuck on Samsung factory reset protection.
I didn't use any special cords or any hacking of files it took me a about a week to figure out but I don't know weather to post how I did it or if this is even useful.
I managed to log onto Samsung account well basically everything like if it was never locked the only thing afterwards is the it doesn't let me remove the Samsung account that I signed in with and doesn't let me factory reset.
Just keeps loading the password option over and over but I can do everything else, and 1 more thing I did it all without a simple card so I haven't been able to see if the network would work.
So that I may call and receive messages and so fourth but maybe some advice on weather to post the method I came up with its about a 10 or 15 min process all yew need is WiFi a USB cable and PC and that's pretty much it so someone help me out you'll be amazed I think..
Posted in wrong section. Also this was hard to read please format it a bit better.
I need help with a hacked possibly hidden root phone attack & i really don't know muc
I felt my phone was 'hacked', it was echoing during calls, getting really hot, passwords & secret questions on my emails were being changed, FB password changed & picture login disabled etc. etc. I BELIEVE my device Samsung J1mini is rooted HOWEVER somehow hidden cas most apps say it's not rooted but I found a hidden /root file & Superuser was only to be granted access with 'android.permissions', ok explaining it best I can. I also have PC Acer Laptop. USB ports disabled won't charge my phone. ESET picked up a virus but it disappeared b4 I could press Y to delete. Renamed I believe. The top of windows go green when I click in them the same person said Crypto something which he explained as ransomware but I've had no demands & drive has been wiped so many times there is nothing to hold to ransom. I seriously need help. Just bought a Huawei Y9 Elite LYO-02 but it's only 4 weeks old, got a new sim with new number & EXACTLY same things are happening again. So I factory reset it (whilst off) cas a password I didn't put there prevented me from phone factory resetting it. Now I'm stuck on the gmail screen & NONE of my emails work. I've watched you tube videos on how to bypass this screen but no success yet. I asked someone I didn't know very well to help & he installed Terminux/Linux on my phone & told me it was just underneath my phone he accessed, what I now realize is he was most likely setting it up so he could remote control it from his PC or IPhone 6 & he had to install Linux. I hate liars.... now wondering instead of helping he saw an opening & made the hole bigger & this guy does IT. HELP! Please be kind. I wanna boot whoever is in out & take control by rooting phone myself. And taking admin privileges back on my Acer. I am administrator but u wouldn't think so. It's running Windows 8.1.
Urgent replies please. This whole thing is doing my head in. But I'm smart & willing to learn. Someone patoent please Show Me the Light lol
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first or contact the manufacturer for stock firmware and flashing instructions.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
I am very computer illiterate so I am hoping someone can help me here! My friend has a Galaxy A01 with a broken screen and he needs his contacts off of it. He didn't have it backed up in google or anything. I have his broken phone here. CAnt I just connect his phone to my computer and somehow retrieve his contacts off of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No, you have to be able to unlock the screen in order for PC to connect to the device. Your screen is broken which means you can't unlock the screen. If they did not have anything backed up to Google then I'm pretty sure they also did not have USB debugging enabled. Between the screen being broken and USB debugging not being enabled, you are pretty much screwed with no way to retrieve anything from the device.
This is what happens when one takes things for granted or never considers that things can easily go wrong and overlooks the necessity of backing up important data to avoid the situation they are currently in.
Accept your losses and consider it a learning experience. In the future, make certain to back up important data.
Hi, do you mean your computer can detect your friend's phone via USB cable? If yes, try Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help you access to contacts on the phone and export them to the computer via USB cable. It's easy and safe. You just need to enable USB debugging on the phone. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.
You may not able to get back contacts if you don't have a backup on Google. You can check the local backup. If you have taken local backup then, you can bring back his contacts.
