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 )

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?

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.
Hi,
So my friend asked me to fix his Desire 820. It was working just fine for over a year. Recently, that changed - if you make any changes(uninstall app or for example turn fast boot off) it automaticaly turns off and resets the setting back. I decided to try and root it. Unfortunately I can not unlock bootloader through htcdev. Everything goes fine but when I am done phone restarts and changes everything back to normal(relocks bootloader) and without an unlocked bootloader my hands are pretty tied.
Things I have tried/done:
Enable usb debugging
Install drivers
Tried to unlock 2 times with different unlock code.bin-s
Reset to factory defaults(It doesn´t even work!)
Also while booting it displays red text over htc logo(This build is for development purposes only... blah blah blah)
So, how do I unlock the bootloader?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I still can not unlock the damn bootloader...
Hi everyone..
I will go into the main point directly..
firstly my phone run out of the battery then the phone slept.. I plugged the charger to get the phone powered on again...
after that the phone started and asked me for the pattern..
then I entered the pattern I save but the phone says that the pattern is wrong and I swear that pattern I use every day :laugh:
now the phone is locked and I tried to tap the "Forgot Password" button but it says that all data on the phone will be erased and that will be impossible for me :crying:
Please advice me what should I do regarding that the phone still in the warranty period!
the phone is Note 5 AI global version..
thanks in advance
If you have twrp installed then its easy to delete lock pattern. If you are stock then not so sure.. Anyways patterns dont just change, im sure you must be confusing something.

thank you for your fast reply..
if I used the common method on youtube using twrp then i deleted the gatekey file the pattern will reset ?
this methode won't affect warranty ?

Hey peeps, I have my friend's phone that doesn't accept the pattern to unlock. I have to add that I have tried everything manually possible to get the phone into recovery mode but it will not start. The device is not carrier locked but also I cannot get the IMEI number due to the pattern lock screen which I cannot bypass. What do you suggest I do?
I was thinking about re-flashing the firmware on it, but I am not sure if it'll work. Please, I need urgent help to revive this phone for my GF.
Is there anything that I can do via the companion? Or maybe force rooting it or anything of sorts? I managed to get it into safe-mode once... but that was all... nothing else I could do.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
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
