Hello everyone, I am a noob user of android, so don't judge me. I already searched the topics of Galaxy J2 and did not find an answer, so I'm asking here. My wife changed her cell phone password (an SM-G532MT) and forgot which password she put in, now the phone is threatening Hard Reset if she puts the wrong password in 6 more times. The point is that the pictures of our baby are on the phone and have not been synchronized in the cloud. I would like to know if we can unlock the phone in any way or simply recover the photos on it before resetting. She has her Google account connected, but she didn't have a Samsung account, so we couldn't unlock it from Samsung's Find My Mobile, I've already tried ADM, and didn't work as well, there is no option to change the password when I click on "Secure my phone ", the options are just to put a message and a contact phone. We don't mind losing the rest of the files, but the photos have great sentimental value, so if anyone can help, I'll be grateful. Thanks.

I think you can install TWRP on it, then use it to copy /sdcard/DCIM (or any other files/folders you want) to a external sdcard connected. Search some tutorial of how to install TWRP with the exact model of your J2
And I'm also brazilian, you can send me a private message in portuguese if you need more help
If you can access the phone by means of ADB then it's possible to remove the lock with a few ADB commands:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/"
adb shell "am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity"
adb shell "content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1"

Hello all. I hope this community that looks so professional can help me with this, I will help as far as I can people here too, however Android is not my strong point.
Well, I've been asked to get access to a Samsung Galaxy Mini that is password locked. The owner of this device is not a computer-friendly person, neither a device-friendly one. So we have the password lost, and USB debugging is disabled neither root has been applied to this device. So, I've been reading some threads here, and that's what I've done:
1. Reboot the device and enter into system recovery mode.
2. I tried to do an "adb push" to put the rooting file into sdcard but I got a "permission denied" message.
3. I tried to access /data/system/ directory to delete password.key but I can’t do the “cd” to this directory.
So I don’t know what to do. We don’t want to reset the device to factory defaults. What could I do? Any help will be appreciated.
Im trying to access the data on a Galaxy S4 on which the screen is not working at all(no backlight and doesn't respond to touch). the data I mainly require is the contacts.db file. what I have tried sofar:
1. tried to access the data via USB but cant access the content due to the lock on the phone.
2. tried to access the data with KIES but once again failed to do so due to the lock on the phone.
3. Downloaded the ADB shell and installed the required USB drivers but cant access the phone, when running the command "adb devices" it says no devices found which I think is because the USB Debugging setting on the phone is not enabled.
4. Also tried to sync with the Google account but unfortunately it was not setup to sync contacts with the Google account.
Some other suggestions were to get another S4 and connect its screen to the the one in question which im sure will work but is there no other way to access the data or to somehow remove the pattern lock from the phone? maybe using another platform to gain full access to the phone or anything?

Dear all,
I do have a tricky question and I know already that this could be suspicious.
Allow me describe the issue.
I have Realme 5 where the user set password (not pin or gesture), but is unable to remember.
Now when phone starts (even before Android boot) it asks for password (not gesture or pin) which the user is unable to repeat.
Easy solution is factory reset, which is fine to be done.
But there is number of photos he wants to safe.
And I'd like to ask if there is a way to do so.
USB Debug is not allowed, therefore my thinking to use ADB is no possible as phone is not visible.
Is there any way to achieve the goal to safe the photos?
Can I make a backup, do factory reset and restore from backup?
Or is there any other chance? Via recovery/custom ROM? I guess not, since USB Debug is not allowed, right?
Thank you for hints or send me PM if you do not wish to discuss it here.

thanks all who checked this out.
I know how "silly" the request is, as this would be solution for any stolen device.
On the other hand, I was thinking about approaches and seems to me there is no way
Since I do not know pwd, I can't use recovery either, although there is sdcard slot, since I'll be asked for pwd before entering recovery (or before installing something via recovery).
I can't use ADB either, due to USB debug not enabled, this is also a dead end...
So I do not see a way how to get access DCIM folder..

Hi, I've a tablet which needed to be reset from recovery, at boot it asked to login to google account, I've tried all I have but seams I can't guess the right one. This version of Android don't let me skip this process, I've also tried to cut the network down, and all else I've read in google, there is no escape. I've wiped data and cache from recovery, didn't help. I've tried with ADB to send a "adb shell dpm remove-active-admin eu.sisik.devowner/.DevAdminReceiver" but I'm unautorized.
How can overcome it? How can I get an autorized from ADB of recovery console? There is any apk that can I upload that delete that info?
If not I have to trash the tablet and buy a new one (((
Thank you
It looks that USB-debugging ( AKA ADB ) didn't get properly enabled on the tablet, hence none of ADB commands will ever work. This cannot be changed afterwards.

To retrieve Google e-mail address what stored in phone's database-file
/data/system/accounts.db
it's required that
1. you can connect to phone via ADB
2. phone is properly rooted and folder /data/system can get mounted as Read-Write
3. you have a SQLite viewer at hand to read content of mentioned database
