Hello everybody! I hope you could help me. I have a Redmi Note 7 and have no debugging and no bootloader unlocked and now i lost my screen pin or maybe my son changed it. Xiaomi says I can only reset, but I have a lot of data that is not stored on a cloud. Did i have any Options? I can’t imagine that there ist no way?
There is no way. You can boot to recovery select wipe then keep trying some pins to avoid the timeout, but that's it.

Hi guys
My daughter forgot PIN No, and when her phone died, she can't unlock the phone :silly:
Is there a way to unlock it without factory reset (phone is unrooted - like out of the box), or do I have to wipe it?
Any serious advice will be appreciated

Hello, I have a problem with a friend's Redmi Note6pro.
The phone suddenly restarted, and since then it turns on, redmi logo for 3 / 4sec and then turns off.
Same thing if I try to go into recovery with vol +, while I can go into fastboot with vol-.
It is FUNDAMENTAL first of all, even more important to reset the phone, save the data inside it (photos, videos and whatsapp chat), the app settings do not interest me.
I did some tests with adb to see if I could access the data (I'm pretty sure, having done the configuration of the cell to my friend when she got it new, that I have activated the usb debugging), but since the phone goes only in fastboot I was unable to access the data saved inside (the command adb device gives no result).
I found a guide to flash a rom with Miflash without deleting the data, but the guide talks about unlocked bootloader, which has never been done on this phone.
Now, since I am not interested in loading a mod rom but I would reload the official rom, is it possible to do all the procedure described WITHOUT unlocked bootloader?
I'm only interested in accessing the cell to save the data, after doing that I can also reset the phone, so I don't necessarily need a 100% "working" rom.
And above all, do I have the ABSOLUTE certainty of saving the data inside the phone (rather than risk losing the data, I will return the cell to the owner and see her)?
Thanks for who will answer
(sorry for my english, i'm italian ad i use google translate)
I found the phone in my bag with a discharged battery and does not want to boot all the way. It shows the animated MIUI logo for about 1 minute and then restarts, sometimes showing the menu to switch to 'wipe data' and 'assistant'.
It's all stock, locked, up-to-date, I think still on Android 10 or which one it is. I did not install any new apps and don't even use the phone for anything other than gaming.
I've tried connecting with PC Suite but it doesn't see the phone. Fastboot anything does not work since the bootloader is locked. I know I can wipe data and be done with it, just wondering if there is anything else I can do.
EDIT: I've wiped the data and reinstalled the phone but would like to know if there is a way to avoid this in the future.
Unlock bootloader. This is very important. Then you have full control over the device.
For example the other day I had hard brick because fastboot flash was interrupted. And I still managed to unbrick the device thanks to unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
It's really hard to hard brick this device. I love Xiaomi <3
Trying to salvage the user data from a friend's Oneplus 8 Pro, that had a nice and salty sea bath. Took the phone apart, and managed to clean it up enough to be able to boot EDL and Fastboot modes. There's no hope for the screen, the connections/PCB are too badly corroded to fix up.
The obvious method is to get another OP8 Pro and swap the mobos, but the cost is of course quite prohibitive. Since you'd have to break the water/dust seals, reselling the donor phone at the same price afterwards isn't an option, there's still some traces of honesty left in me. Finding and buying a bricked phone to use as a donor seems to be easier said than done.
The phone is completely stock with locked bootloader. USB debugging isn't enabled.
Managed to dump the encrypted storage in EDL mode. As expected, the dumps seems to be more or less impossible to decrypt off the phone. Guess protection from that is the main reason why the storage is encrypted
TWRP is available for OP8 Pro.
A possible approach here would be to unlock the bootloader, boot TWRP on the phone, and try to transfer the userdata off the phone with ADB. The problem is of course that the bootloader unlock will factory reset the phone, and erase the user data.
Would it perhaps work to unlock the bootloader, restore the EDL userdata partition dump after the factory reset, boot TWRP, and access the userdata? Or will the factory reset also affect the encryption chain somehow?
I do of course have the current screen lock PIN.
Hi all,
I'm having issues wiping the data via recovery mode. I don't have the option to do it. The only options I have is the boot to bootloader, or exit.
The phone is fully charged. The only reason why I need to wipe the data is because my daughter changed her password but can't remember what it is fully. I.e. where she may of put spaces or capital letters.
Any ideas what I can try? The bootloader is showing as locked and I can't seem to find a way to unlock it without turning on developers options.
