Hi, yesterday my friend came and gave me his one X to try recover his data. The problem is, he forgot his unlocking patern and phone asked him his mail and pass to enter. Since he couldnt remember the pass for gmail i had to do factory reset. Is it possible to recover deleted pictures and video after i did factory reset? Thanks in advance. Cheers
Umh... I think no

Hello all, I beg thee if you can help me, my friend "stole" my xda orbit while I was erm drunk and changed a load of settings, inc adding a password. When I was sober he told me what it was so I could use the phone again. But last night I accidently wanted to change the 4 digit number code that you do when the phone goes inactive for like 1 minute...Instead I think I accidently activated some password...everytime I go to restart the xda I get grilled for a password and if its wrong the time counter keeps going up and up...
Basically I really either need to crack or deactivate this password or some how backup my txts and phone...as I didn't before and theres a few sentimental texts I don't want to lose...
I hope you can help me
i think you might be stuck unless you can figure out the passcode!
i dont think it lets you sync your phone at all does it?
no sync
no asks for a password before sync-ing wondered if there was an alternative to activesync that would work??
was about bootloader mode, if you can go in you would be able to flash a (new) rom.....
errr right
you've lost me, last time I did rom flashing was on a very old XDA and ive forgtten..help!?!
You just have to go to WM6 artemis part of the forum, read the topics about "how to flash" and use the last wm6 rom B&B v3.7.
Before that, ensure bootloader mode is available.
Good luck
huh
1 I don't know how to know if bootloader mode is available
2 I think im on WM5!?
If it is a UK model then he can flash it back to the original ROM using the microSD card first if it will not connect by USB cable.
Yes its an 02 XDA Orbit and I live in the uk and it is a UK phone...so I guess I can but how the hell!? lol Thankyou by the way you may have saved me!
As it seems no backup was done, what about trying to ask a repair center if they can "unlock" the password. Of course you will have to show to purchase invoice ....
Thanks, that will be my alternative if the rom flash doesnt work...just need to be told how to do it via micro sd!!!!

I will PM you about the file you need as all references to it seem to have been removed from the site.
You then put the file onto an empty microSD card and put the card into the phone.
When you turn on the phone ho hold in the 'record' button (top left hand side viewed from the front of the phone) and the phone should go into boot-loader mode and recover the OS from the microSD card.

Does it matter if anything else is on the SD card?
Do I need to update to a newer WM5 Rom after as I think i saw that 02 1 is a bit old??

Sorry, but doesnt a hard reset solves this problem?? (if the lock is on the phone) sipmle and quick solution.
If it is the sim that is locked, contact you provider.
Considering flashing the ROM is deffinately going to wipe any saved texts etc. Surely a simpler option is a hard reset?
Press and hold both soft-keys, press the stylus into the reset hole, release reset, wait for message on screen and release soft-keys.
This will return the phone to out-of the -factory state, so again you will loose all saved data in system memory and all installed applications in system memory.

Not quite. Flashing the ROM will erase your "sentimental" messages.

Yes, but it is looking like he is going to lose them no matter what happens.
Just Hard Reset it....Wont ask for the password...you will loose your data on the device though....and if your data is on the PC can sync again...no issue there...but the service centers will not remove the password...I had the same issue...and thats what i did.
cheers
yeah all you have to do is hard reset the pda and then the password will be erased, along with all your data ofc.
It would be interesting though to find a way to "crack" the password or somehow remove or bypass it.....
like some kind of PUK code?

I dont think you can, try hyc sync it might let you back up your contacts etc then factory reset it.

htc sync needs adb connection which is not available at this point.
Any other idea?
My sister asked me for help and has a galaxy nexus 4 g. She really only cares about recovering photos ( she never backed up ) from her phone and not so much bringing it back to life. The phone will not boot anymore. It is stock, unrooted and still locked. I can still get into stock recovery and phone still charges. When I plug into pc it won't recognize the device and I'm sure she never turned on usb debugging. If I factory reset it will wipe my sister's photos. I am asking for guidance or basic plan on how to extract her photos or get the phone to boot up normally without wiping. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Well it sound like a Soft-brick. I don't think that there are any other options to recover from this kind of problem without wiping everything off, at least none that I know of. Wait for few more replies or go to a GSM service and maybe they can help you. If not, just get the Nexus Factory Images and try to flash them. If the photos are located on the "SD card" partition, a wipe of the data won't delete them, as wiping data from recovery has nothing to do with the "SD". Another thing you can try is to wipe cache. If none of the methods from above work I am sorry but you will have to get rid of the photos.
PS: Tell your sister to use Google Photos, as every photo is backed up in their servers and she won't lose them
Hope I helped

Thanks for the response. After spending a few hours trying to figure it out for her ( My sister is not to tech savvy ) she logged into her new phone good news all of her pictures showed up which means she backed them up without knowing it.

Hello
A friend of mine own this head unit to his car.4 days ago he see the message that the gapps unfortunatly stops.How we can resolve this isuue?We try to factory reset but its asks for a code and we dont know them.Any ideas?
All the info you seek is in the sticky.
Factory settings isn't a factory reset, just a collection of settings. To restore you need to enter recovery.

Thank you very much my friend!!Heads down for reading!!
Hello guys,
Just bought a Nexus 5x from someone and i can't assign my email,always telling me to use the previous owner mail.The former owner said he reseted the phone from the google account not from the phone itself.From what i read online a security measure has triggered on my phone and i can't do anything about it....he even game me his email/password to use,but that doesnt work eighter.
Is there nothing i can do but wait 3 days?Will i be able to add my email after those 3 days expire?
When did the countdown start?The moment he reseted the phone?He reseted the phone on tuesday night so i need to wait untill friday night for 3 days to pass,but he changed the password to the email today.Will any of this have an impact?
Thank you!

that all sounds a bit strange ... anyway, did you try to hard reset the phone in recovery? after that you should be able to setup the phone for the first use again.
here's a howto for the hard factory reset in recovery: http://www.hardreset.info/devices/lg/lg-nexus-5x-north-america/

Yes i did hard reset still the same.In the "safe mode" it says "Device Locked'.I think the problem originated when he reseted the phone from his google account,instead of phone settings....i guess this is used to lock the phone?Thats why its always asking me for the original gmail account.
Only the original gmail account can unlock it?He previous owner gave me the account today to try,but it didnt work...im confused.

The security feature is called FRP, factory reset protection.
There may be other ways to bypass it but the surefire way is to use the TOT method to completely reflash the phone.

When you reset a phone you need to get rid of pin/pattern/password or it will trigger factory reset protection which forces you to install using the account that the phone was originally installed under.
Now if that account changes their password, then there will be a 72hr lockout. Everytime you try to install it will reset the 72hr counter.
I don't believe you can install even with original account/password until the counter has run its course.
Perhaps LGUP will work as mentioned above.
Someone posted this. I don't know if it works.
