Hi,
So my dad passed away, he had a Samsung J4+ with a pattern.
I like to remove that without losing data.
My dad never switched off OEM unlocking and enabled USB Debugging.
If i try to flash TWRP via bootloader or adb or Odin it gives a error. (the standard errors like its blocked by FRP etc)
Is there anyway to bypass the pattern, paid or free?
This can be closed, we gave up.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to unlock the pattern lock to a nexus 5. When the phone got disconnected from service provider, it became pattern locked and it is disabled from USB debugging. The bootloader is locked. I do not want to wipe the data. Need help on recovery. I am sure the pattern is correct but the phone will not recognize it. I have been browsing forums and no answer yet. ROM is stock
Help!!! Help!!! Help!!! Is there anyway to do an ADB pull if its locked?
Hello, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. When I power on the tablet I found a warning that says:
"This tablet's bootloader is unlocked and its software integrity can't be verified. Any data on this tablet may be vulnerable to attackers. Don't store any important or sensitive information on this tablet."
I know that this is a normal warning for users who want to root their tablet but this is not my case. I want my OEM locked again. I am searching a way to lock again the bootloader but I am unable to find information. Most users want to root their device or maybe I am searching in the wrong way.
I want to know how to lock my device again. I did a factory reset but the unlock remains. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Backup your data before doing this because it will wipe your internal storage.
1.Enable usb debugging in the developer option(developer can be enabled by tapping build number
2.Download ADB and Fastboot on your OS(e.g windows: minimal adb, learn how to install it and use it here)
3.fully shut down your device.
4.press and hold vol+up and vol+down at the same time, then plug in your charger that's connected to your PC.
5.Select Continue Unlocking Bootloader by holding volume+up
6.follow the on-screen instruction and relock your bootloader.
Your device will now reboot with a fresh system and a locked bootloader.
This post is more like an explanation.
So my phone got bricked today, stuck at logo. I managed to access recovery and format data, but its stuck at formating data for more than 6 hour.
The only choice left is to unlock bootloader and flash firmware. Now here's the bull**** part.
When i try press fastboot oem unlock it says failed, device state locked. Device state can be set to unlock only through one method, by booting>going into settings>developer options>turning on oem unlocking. Doing this set your device in unlocked device state and thus allow it to unlock bootloader through fastboot. But, if your device got bricked and can't get into phone and your oem unlocking was off (average person will not set it to on) then you're ****ed, cuz without it you cannot unlock bootloader, thus you cannot install twrp or flash firmware.
This is so dumb, not even adb can set the device state to unlock. Read the last paragraph - (https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/locking_unlocking)
There are so many post like these but no answer. so this post is for those guyz.
guess, i'll use feature phone for rest of my life
That an Android device's bootloader is locked by default isn't dumb, it has good reasons.
BTW: Flashing device's Stock ROM doesn't require device's bootloader got unlocked before.
tried flashing stock rom using adb sideload and fastboot. both failed. adb states that it cannot as it is a downgrade. fastboot says that device state is locked.
Yes, im aware that it is present for a good reason, but someone who's phone doesnt boot up has no way to unlock bootloader or do anything.
I'm not sure that I have the same problem but I have Samsung sm-t500 on the download mode says : device state lock and Im searching for FRP software but I think it won't happen because I tried too to connect via ADB and still can't connect.. But mine is still not bricked.. I will be very happy if you can give me some advice
Hi all
I had just finished installed Lineage and twrp succesfully to setup this phone, but I then discovered that the unlocked bootleader was preventing me to install Netflix.
I then tried to re-lock it via "fastboot oem lock" which apparently worked, but the side effect was that my main system is now not booting at all.
And when I've then tried to unlocking it again, it just fails, so I'm currently closed out.
Right now I can only access fastboot mode.
Any idea if this can be saved?
thank you
It can be saved but you need to use EDL mode (Emergency Download Mode). This mode is locked by Xiaomi and you Need an authorized account to use It.
You have 2 options:
- Pay a man that have an authorized account and can flash the stock rom from EDL.
- Go to an authorized Xiaomi center.
Thank you. Luckily that was not the right answer.
I've managed to put the phone in EDL mode via hardware, after opening it up.
After bypassing also the lack of helo message error, I've finally manage to flash with Xiaomi Flash tool and regained access to it.
Hi guys, my friends phone suddenly got bricked with error: Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly
Phone was never rooted, never unlocked bootloader, usb debugging was not enabled.
I am only able to boot to recovery. If i try recovery i always get "Get package info fail".
I did not try factory reset as the data in the phone is really important to him.
Phone is visible to fastboot, but not to ADB. Its also not visible to HiSuite.
I have been trying for 2 days but this seems to me like impossible situation, to recover the data.
anyone has any solution?
@kmet11 you can use HiSuite Proxy and Recovery OS https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/wiki/System-Recovery-Rom-Instruction-(-Soft-Bricked-)
