Hi Everyone,
I'm having a big problem with my Note 6 Pro. So, I came here to hopefully find a solution. Several days ago, when I attempted to enter my password, it was no longer accepted. Just receive a message on the screen that it's not correct. Except that it is correct - it's the Xiaomi garbage that is not correct. I changed nothing and nobody else ever has access to my phone so, it's quite impossible that anyone else ever changed it. I really am in a bad situation. Could someone advise any potential method that I could be able to access the phone?
I'm currently living in Hong Kong. Are there any top, local phone repair shops that might be able to help? Xiaomi service told me that the only way to use my phone again would be a complete reset. I can't believe this is the only method that would ever work. At this point, I don't even care what happens to the phone in the end as I will never use it, nor will I ever use any Xiaomi product again. I just want to be able to retrieve the last few months of irreplaceable photos and my various contacts.
Cheers!
Amy
Well...i can tell you one thing.
My office colleague have Redmi Note 5 amd last week she had exactly the same issue...
Phone locked itself and she couldn't unlock it...and she also didn't do anything...
Nothing was working, nor fingerprint, nor PIN code...
With your post, I'm wondering if it's some kind of a bug???
She eventually take it to service in order to somehow make backup of all the files of internal storage.
I saw that she has the phone now but didn't ask her what she did, was she able.to save the data etc.
I will check it tomorrow if i see her.

At first do you have any custom recovery installed on your phone? If so open it and select Advanced tab , File Manager and go to data then scroll down and open system folder and delete this files one by one > locksettings.db , locksettings.db-shm , locksettings.db-wal , gatekeeper.pattern.key (If found) , gatekeeper.password.key (If found) , password.key .. Now reboot phone

Thank you for the information. However, I don't have any custom recovery installed. I'm using the phone as purchased - everything is stock. What you described would not work on stock phones?
I have checked with my colleague, she needed to do factory reset of the phone, and thus lost all the data that she had on the phone [emoji53]
She said that there was some glitch/bug during charging - phone was on charger, and at one point there was voltage dropdown in the electricity network (usual stuff in Serbia), like power got cut down for 1 second and up and running again...after this, her phone was locked...

Unfortunately it won't work without flashing a custom recovery
Bro I encountered the same problem and I knew that this is some sort of a bug, (by the way I'm an tech expert, so any problem in Android or windows i can probably solve it) so before dealing with any kind of bug in Android just reboot your device and guess what, 99% bugs get fixed after rebooting your device. And it perfectly solved mine too
Hi! I have made an account specifically to reply and inform you that I had encountered the same issue on my Xiaomi Note 9s and my brother, twice on his Vivo y19. I was the victim first and I was certain that I hadn't forgot nor did anyone mess with my phone. Afterwards I'd just keep my phone without any security. When my brother told me that he had the same issue, I was shocked to know that it wasn't only Xiaomi but Vivo as well, so my decision to keep my phone free of locks was solidified. My brother however, decided to use security again and it happened for the second time.
I'm not sure if Google or Xiaomi, Vivo, individually or collectively, have a part in this. All I know is that it's really painful to loss your data this way, for no apparent reason at all.
This sucks and there's very little information on internet regarding why this happens.
So my advice is that if you've been locked out of your device this way once, don't ever use the security features again. Because most of these phones require a primary password (pattern, pin, code etc) for other features like facelock and fingerprints to work. What sucks even more is that they only ask for the primary passwords on restarts. Had it been the fingerprint, I probably could have unlocked my phone (not sure if my fingerprint would have also been reset).
P. S. I used a lot of words to convey a simple message but it's because English isn't my first language and I don't want anyone to deal with the same headache as mine.
I have a Oppo R17 Pro on ColorOS 6 (Android 9). It is missing a few settings, such as the "Display Owner Information". I've tried searching for keywords like "owner" and "lockscreen" and it doesn't give me anything related to "Display Owner Information". Without this setting, I can't set my phone number or email address on the lockscreen - which is useful in case my phone gets lost and someone can look at the info on the lockscreen to contact me.
I've tried using apps like QuickShortcutMaker to see if I can find a hidden setting, but I couldn't find any. I've also looked up on the ColorOS/Oppo forum and there are a few forum posts about the same issue, but Oppo hasn't bothered implementing this basic feature.
I've even tried looking up ways to set this via Tasker, but this requires root and Oppo R17 Pro is hard to root and I think Oppo even removed fastboot completely in the latest ColorOS (which means you can't flash recovery). I haven't rooted this device and don't wanna go through all that trouble to do it. I own other devices and they are rooted, but I don't need this Oppo device to be rooted.
I'm out of ideas and this is something simple that should be baked into the ROM. Anyways, just wondering if anyone else has any ideas?
Hello,
I am new to this forum (and also to android); so please forgive me for any mistakes.
A few months ago my cousin bought a used Huawei phone, that he couldn't log into with his own email, because the "original" email was needed, that the seller did not provide. According to my cousin the seller wouldn't reply to him; so I am assuming that the seller knew that the phone was useless.
Now my question is, is there any way to remove the old account? My cousin asked for my help, but I have no clue where to start. The phone seemed wiped and I don't know what android version it is on. My cousin said that he updated it once by getting into the menu you get when you press the power and volume buttons. When we tried to connect it to a pc software it just said that adb or something like that was not activated; therefore the pc couldn't find out any information about the phone.
What can we do? I would be thankful for any ideas or tips!

Hello,
I have one OP8T 11.0.8.12 i want to downgrade. Is that possible?
THe problem is i have a Google account lock on it and i cannot use it.. So i try on youtube how to do but in this version is missing th Oneplus Switch. SO i was thinking if we can downgrade to get this app.
You have a phone.
You wish to downgrade the phone to a previous version, but you are unable to access the phone because it is locked.
Locked using an account you do not have control over.
Unless you add a little more detail, what you are describing is the sort of situation one would be in if they were in possession of a stolen phone.
Is there any solution for the bypass of the Google account?
Hey
I am using oneplus 7t (root).
i wanted to know if it is possible to see some information about what was done on my phone when the phone was in the possession of the authorities for a week (inappropriate). i got my phone back today and i would like to know if any data has been picked up??? .. i have settings in the past i have enabled oem lock. but usb troubleshooting was not enabled. could someone tell me if it is possible to see somewhere if my phone data has been visited?
AFAIK Android doesn't store a file's last-access-time.
if there are traces of getting inside the phone, can I see any way???
