Hi there, my aunt ask me to unlock her pattern lock of galaxy W because she forget the pattern and (sadly) her email. I told her earlier that it should be wiped completely to reset it, ikr
the problem is she doesn't want to lose her hundred of message,, is there any other method to recover the message or to hack the lock pattern?
via root is okay.
EDIT: im aware there are cracking method via adb, but i dont think its turned on

i have this prob b4 on my friend's device and the only easiest way is a hard reset (which will delete all of your data. try the custom back-up in recovery.
or try this:

HOLY COW!!! I found the solution....
So there is a separate password generated for you android phone other than you gmail password. Here is where you find it, or create it:
Log into gmail account on your pc
follow this link:
https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodes
If you see a password next to "Gmail Phone"- Revoke it
Then in the "Step 1 of 2: Generate new application-specific password" box, type in "gmail phone" and click the "generate password"
Type (in your phone) the obnoxiously long password generated along with your username (without @gmail.com worked for me)
Voila, agony is over. Pass this along if it worked for you, save someone the frustration and anger. Happy Days.

The easiest way is to just call your phone and then you have to answer, go out with the "Back"button on the main screen. Go to settings and turn off the pattern and it will no longer be blocked. Worked for me.

Go to your amazon account device section and make sure your AFT is loaded there. If it's not loaded it.
Hey everyone,
Just got a New LG G3 and post a factory reset the device is asking for a McAfee PIN which was never setup. Is there anyway to skip this and move onto the homescreen? This screen has locked the device and no options work except the emergency call option.
Attached is a screenshot of the same.

Thats not going to work as its a lock which shows up before even setting up the phone if you do a factory reset. Spoke to support at Mcafee too who also could not fix it.

Reflash the stock firmware for your device

Get a new phone. Something is wrong. I wonder what LG thought McAfee should give in user plus. You have to root to get rid of it, clever thinking
This is what happens if a half baked feature incorporated into a released device(I say it is half baked, it never should ask for a pin if the pin is not at all set at the first place & McAfee should have a solution to this problem). This is the 3rd or 4th thread that is opened on this issue, within last few days. Hopefully, McAfee or LG quickly find a solution for this, so that users don't suffer.
To OP, as some one suggested please try to flash the stock firmware(if it is possible).
Revoking administration privileges was the first thing I did when I got this phone.

Tried to talk to different representatives from Mcafee and they could not find a solution but anyway I have got this solved by going to the app and resetting it before the lock could show up. Will be writing down later on the complete procedure.
Thanks to everyone for contributing.

u cannot root this device when its lock by mcafee because of kill switch. so u have to think smart.
try to go to setting, in setting> guest> set a code for guest after it turn on guest option. than restart your device, before comming mcafee put the petern as guest... after this u have to go again in administration, at that time u will see mcafee will not come, and u can easily goto the mcafee app, after going on set your number as a buddy number, after setting buddy number, turn your phone off, insert sim and start it again. macafee will again apear... at that time click on send the code to buddy, proceed it.
this code will be applicable for an hour, so if u got the buddy code, after geting pin code u have to change the pic code to new one... after doing this procedure mcafee pin will be change.. and u can use this device
hope you got my point,:good: you dont need to root your device

by mistake I turned on guest mode and now after restart it shows only 4 apps on main screen which were allowed in guest mode setting, no setting, So what steps should I take to turn off it?

Hi,
The main point of his workaround was to successfully open mcafee app.
why?
- because it has a feature where you can add buddy numbers.
- buddy numbers can be used to retrieve the unknown pin (not the actual pin but a temporary one which you can use to get past the pin log-in screen) through sending temporary pins to the buddy list.
- mcafee will ask for a new pin combination after the pin requirement screen.
P.S As long as you can open mcafee app, you are fine. I also don't have any workaround aside from what the OP posted.
yes . go to guest mode and turn screen off an on again put admin lock pin and go to mcafee app and set up buddy number @mDaynal you are great

Hello!
I'm stuck with a huge problem. After hard reset, I can't sign in to any of my Google accounts which were previously used on my LG G4.
I try to sign in with my main Google account, but it still says that I should use another one.
This safety system is ret**ded.
I really need my phone back for my work and I have never occurred such a stupid problem in all 6 years of android experience.
How can I bypass it? Please, I really need help this time.
Fixed. Thanks!

1. Well thank you for contributing to our forum! Nice posts and really helpful
2. You have to login using the exactly account the phone asks you to.
3. Once set up just sign out from all of the accounts(the one the phone asks you to enter)
4. Reset the software
5. that should be fine now
Thanks for the answer, but the problem is - I've already made two resets in a row.. The first time, after the reset - I was asked to change my password for the main account. After the password change, I was not able to login with my main account. I logged in with another, which was added before. It worked. After that, I made another hard factory reset and now I can't do ****. It sounds stupid and it is stupid. I'm stuck in the "verifying your account" screen, my main account doesn't work.

Try logging in on computer(gmail) with the main account and see if it works. Maybe it's a temporary block

If it was that easy.. It's something else, a block for the device of some sort.

can you make a photo of the screen?
Also try flashing kdz -> refurbished (or cse) option so it wipes everything. Then try again. I had the same issue and was freaking out because I was going to sell the phone.

You must wait 24 hours prior to doing a factory reset after changing your password. Now you will have to wait 24 hours before you can log back into the account on the phone.

what about the second post in OP?
Hi Guys. My device is SM-950F and I was able to root with the Latest TWRP and Magisk 20.1 .
My installing sequence was;
flashing TWRP after enabling OEM UNLOCK
flashing the encryption and lock bypass zips through TWRP right after restarting to recovery.
Installing Elementx 2.11 together with MAGISK 20.1 via TWRP
Finally Restarted the system without choosing the option to install TWRP App
Set up all welcoming pages without setting up any accounts because I already have my backup ready via Smart Switch
I tried to set up my Samsung Account with the correct password afterwards, it showed me the agreement and so on... pressed agree and it said " Process Failed" and sent me back to login page and this loop continued whenever I wanted to set Samsung Pass as well.
I tried to set up Lock Screen with fingerprint which forced me to set up either pattern,pin or password in the beginning. I setup the pattern but couldn't back it up on Samsung cloud so LockScreen does not stay on what I set because of that I guess . When you set a pin , it doesn't accept your pin either as well as password. As if it is not enough , when you restart your phone you are faced with the restart loop where the sim card pin screen appears and disappears after 10 seconds same thing. You can not start your system unless you go back to recovery and flash an official rom again
Is there something I should do after restarting the system like installing Ex Kernel Manager app which I figured is not a free app and enable something within the app or download a patch within Magisk Manager for Samsung not to see the root. Because without rooting everything works flawlessly on the same rom :crying:
Please help!!!
Update: Ok guys I solved it. After researching and trying some other new things I found out that I needed to use TGP Kernel instead of Element X which fixed all my problems
I hope someone else might also benefit from this thread because it drove me crazy to not to be able to use my phone for 1 week ...
By the way I will not give his name but someone wanted me to contact him directly via hangout and asked me to send them some screenshots and so on and when I asked him why he wanted to help me via hangouts but not here so that everyone could benefit from the solution he said that he is using a server to fix problems. I guess some hacker trying to benefit from people's difficult situations. I blocked him immidiately. Do you guys think I am wright ? Should I expose him to you guys or to the admins ???

Telegram is a bit different in groups. But yea most of these guys will want some form of payment. A lot of us use Telegram now just cause of the quickness and capabilities
