So guys I have HTC One X, it isn't rooted and it's stock...
Yesterday one stupid girl made too many wrong pattern attemps and I was locked out of my phone and now it says sign in to your google account, and I do that but since the wifi was off and my mobile internet is also turned off - I can't unlock my phone even when I'm entering my gmail and password.
Is there a way to turn the wifi on and unlock my phone, I don't wanna do a factory reset because I can't copy all my data from my phone so I don't wanna lose anything.
Thank you so much!

If you restart your phone you still can't activate wifi or mobile internet or maybe just try to fill in your google account again
Yes, can't do ****...tried to turn it off, restart, recovery, filling my credentials, checked gmail password on my pc even, but since wifi is off it won't accept anything...please help me guys, I don't wanna lose my things, even if I consider factory reset I still can't copy my data from my phone before wiping :crying:
Hang on, you don't need a internet access to sign in.

That's what I thought but it doesn't accept my google account credentials however times I tried, everything was to no avail.
So I'm open to any suggestions because I really don't want to wipe my phone :crying:
Thanks again
There is a thread that says its possible to make a backup by adb commands ! Don't ask me where the thread exactly is but I've seen it
And what about flashing a custom recovery and make a nandroid backup then you do a factory reset and after that you restore just some parts of the nandroid ..... You can chose in the recovery to just restore data only. So the system where your pattern lock is located will not be touched anymore
Just thinking out loud for a minute
Ok, I would try anything... But how do I install this app if I can't use wifi?
About the adb command thing i dont know much, sorry about that. And i see you are still on stock and not rooted, so you probably also have a locked bootloader ? If you unlock it you might void the warranty of the phone.
Unlocking,flashing custom recovery,doing a backup and a partial restore will probably work the best and it is also the only way to do this. At least as far as i know (if somebody else has a better idea please pitch in )
Marcel.
What happens if you try to connect it via usb?
Doing an adb backup is not an option if OP didn't have usb debugging on.
One way out would be unlocking bootloader like Hofs said, but then your warranty would be gone.
If you don't want to void warranty, it might be a good idea to contact your local HTC repair center and they might salvage your data for a small fee.

I tried adb but it doesn't find my device. When I plug it in my computer it appears as a device but can't see any folders because it's locked. On bootloader I have only so much options - I have tried hboot and recovery... If only I could turn on the wifi somehow...
I think adb commands could be used?
Sent from my faster than SGS3 HOX.
It turns out I have disabled usb debugging, so it doesn't recognize my device-tried different computers, drivers and stuff but it wont work. I just tried my Nexus 7 and it finds it instantaniously because usb debugging is on. Sucha ordeal - everything is off...wifi and usb debugging..I dunno what to do
Just want to highlight to you that unlocking your bootloader will wipe everything on your device same like a factory reset.
Oh so what should I do? I just want to unlock my phone or at least copy my data before doing a factory reset. Is there any other possibility...

I think you're out of luck, unless fastboot can do a backup like adb.
Drop to fastboot on the phone and see what
fastboot backup
Has to say.

CRAP :banghead: completely forgot about that !!! My humble excuses
When you said your data, what kind of data ? Those files on sdcard/HTC Storage ? Or data such as apps that you installed, email settings/passwords
I will make a test with my device later. Now with USB debugging is off, I can still browse my files in recovery mode. (I'm using a PC based explorer to browse). I will install the stock recovery and stock boot.img and let you know
There'a no fastboot back up option just hboot, boot reboot, reboot and shut down. Well data like my pictures and music and stuff that I don't have anywhere else. I don't care about apps and email I can restore that.

Ahh.. I see... can someone else confirm that a factory reset will remove all those on sdcard ? AFAIK, it will not.

No, you need to go into fastboot mode on the phone and then from your pc, use the fastboot tool.
I just found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36596181
Says the guy had adb access with the phone off. Not sure if that will work.
Hello, this is my first post so forgive me if I'm in the wrong area. Let me try to explain where I'm at. I purchased an HTC6500LVW from Craigslist that was restarting randomly. I figured if it boots up and works, even for a little while, I could find a solution on XDA to fix it. Well, I've tried to reset the phone a few different ways with no luck and even tried to use a tested working EXE version of the last RUU for the the verizon m7 (4.4.3) (from one of dottat's posts). The phone is locked, S-on, not rooted. The phone has a free version of McAfee Mobile app on it that is set up for security. I have never dealt with McAfee and I think their app is the cause of my problem. I can unlock the device with the McAfee PIN but it keeps prompting every few minutes. I can go into Device Administrator and revoke McAfee's permission and then uninstall the app. Then I do a factory reset and it doesn't work. Every time the phone reboots it ends up right back where I started with none of my changes saved and the McAfee app back on it with its crazy security PIN prompts. It says something about NV files when it's trying to do a factory reset. Is that some sort of security file that restores it back to where I started?
How particular is this phone when it comes to cables? I don't have original HTC data cable.

Well, I've confirmed with Verizon that McAfee doesn't come pre-installed. I talked to HTC and they were stumped. The rep said that I could send it in for a new board to the tune of $230 USD. However, HTC is sending me a data cable. I did an online chat with McAfee tech support (and I use the term loosely) and they said they would have to escalate me to a senior technician.
When I try to wipe cache partition it says:
Mount SDCARD failed 1 times
Mount SDCARD failed 2 times
Mount SDCARD failed 3 times
Mount SDCARD failed 4 times
Mount SDCARD failed 5 times
Can not mount SD Card.(No such device)
Write host_mode:0 done
Here's what it says when I try to perform a hard reset.
--Wiping data...
Restore NV for Verizon. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Backup Data Preload
Backup CW Package
Restore Data Preload
Restore CW Package
Formatting /cache. . .
Data wipe complete.
Write host_mode:0 done
Does that look correct? Because it returns to right where I left it. Same junk is still on phone from previous owner.
I talked with Senior Technician from McAfee this morning. He asked me to put phone in safe mode to uninstall third party apps (theirs). The phone would not enter safe mode by holding power button on top and then long pressing power off option and selecting to restart in safe mode. He told me if it couldn't enter safe mode he couldn't help me and I would need to contact HTC (again).
So... I call HTC and speak with a rep about entering safe mode. He has me go into power setting and uncheck fastboot then power phone down and then restart but hold volume down key as soon as I see HTC logo on boot and release after it completes boot. Now it enters safe mode.
I deactivate admin rights for McAfee and uninstall app. I restart phone in normal mode - McAfee is back. I repeat but perform factory reset through settings this time - same problem. I repeat again but perform hard reset through factory recovery - nothing.
Still dead in the water.
Is encryption checked in the security settings?

I looked at this last night... the pone acts like it's write protected for every partition on the phone. No form of reset while s-on works. Phone won't s-off either because nothing you change on the phone persists after a reboot.

Wow that's crazy. I wonder if maybe they had it encrypted before they sold it to him and then did a reset which yielded the same results he keeps having. I don't know any other way the entire phone could be write protected unless it was encrypted or a script running on boot that causes it.

That didn't work, it weird because my phone is like the OPs phone. Except the phone will bootloop kinda like it will either load OS for like 5-20 sec and then reboot over and over or just straight bootloop. I get same results when trying to factory restore. Also if it does go to os for the 5-20 sec then like almost every app forecloses. I tried safe mode as well same situation. Also very weird is trying to use the rru and attempting to unlock bootloader. I managed after days of frustration to get it to fastbootusb but when I run rru it says Waiting for bootloader (I was already in fastbootusb) then it reboots the phone and goes to bootloop losing connection resulting in fail of umbrick. By the way it says like USB device unknown blah blah blah it malfunctioned. Then the same reboot situation happened when trying to unlock bootloader. Any ideas how to get this phone going?

Hey Forum! Hopefully y'all can help me. I have a S9 from Rent A Center and so does my wife, well her phone updated to Pie(9.0) 3 weeks ago and we're both on Cricket Wireless. Well mine hasn't updated and I've even went in and manually checking for updates and it says my phone is up to date so I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile and it failed cause i forgot to turn on USB Debugging in the developer options. So I restart my phone and go to settings and hit the build number and it says that developer options has already been turned on. But back in settings the options are nowhere to be found. So I figured doing a factory reset would help, but when i reset the phone and booted it up and went back to the build number and pressed it 7 times instead of saying developer options had been enabled it backed completely back out to my home screen and so i went back to settings and hit the build number again and it said that the developer options had already been turned on but again nowhere to be seen. So my question is is there a way to remove RAC from the phone or is there a way to remove knox where rac is on the phone? I need help cause I want the update, but it seems there is no way to do it with RAC on the phone.
USB debugging has nothing to do with flashing firmware with Odin
Ok then. I get a mdm mode cant download when I try flashing the firmware in download mode

Not sure if it still works with the S9, but there was a trick where you set up PIN security on the phone, but also enable the setting where if the wrong PIN is entered 10 times it factory resets the device, this supposedly removed the Rent-a-Centre crap after the reset which you cannot do while it is still active
Then enter the PIN 10 times wrongly

So it's a different factory than going into the settings and doing a factory reset?

No, same one but supposedly you do not have access to that with Rent a Centre software on the device, nor can you do it from recovery (As far as I am aware from reading others with the same phones)
Oh so basically I'm screwed until they come out with the update for my device

Do you have the ability to factory reset your phone as it stands right now?

Yes I can and have reset my phone. But when I set it back up it shows up rent a center in the Knox portion of it and I guess reinstalls them. So to speak
Good morning,
I'm writing this post 'cause I'd like to know if it's a possibility to "unlock", if I can say this, my phone. My company installs on my phone VMware Hub and the Debug USB is locked because I cannot unlock the related menu. I've tried to format the phone from original recovery by wiping data and nothing changed. So, I've run my phone into bootloader in order to overwrite the original firmware with a new original one. The process is ok but when I restart my phone, VMware is installed and configured.
Now, a question, is it possible to remove it withouth root or debug USB? I'm so annoyed because it is possible to check everything I do in my phone
Did someone answer you? I have the same problem.
Thanks.
Hello, sorry for such late reply been way for too long, the answer is simple, go to developer options, select the oem unlock option reboot the phone to download or recovery i don't remember, a message will come before that will alow you to unlock bootloader, precede to unlock, i can't recall if the phoene will reset but i assume so, when it comes back it will no longer be tied to your employer, it will be an A50 like any other bougt on the store, keep in mind that from then foword you will get a message saying that bootloader is unlocked at phone power on, that's it
hello guys before I’m be crazy I want ask something for you, so I bought A5 2017 for training purposes, but this Sh1t never show me OEM unlock mode, Trying all ways from internet like, set date back, waiting few days, flash anothers roms, trying also fastboot, but “Android”doesn’t appear on my computer, so I’m really lost, someone have this issue before? please my head is nearly to colapse.
Do factory reset and when it asks for date roll it back a few years.. keep wifi off.. reset tablet and when it boots up.. do second factory reset.. don't enable wifi till tablet is done setting up.. turn on wifi and bobs your uncle.
