Hey,
I've got a friend that has a s8500, the screen broke and i changed it. By the time i gave it back to him he had forgotten the Phone Securty code he had setup. The only thing i want is a way to recover the data before the reset.
Is there any way to achieve that? Or is there any way to reset/get the code ? I've been looking into the FLOCK thread but im afraid it will lose the data after the flash.
We also contacted Samsung and they said the only way to reset that code is with a hard reset which will make the data being lost.
Can i in recovery/download mode get the data? The most important thing is the contacts/photos.
Thanks in advance.

No idea about the FLOCK thing, i think it's to unlock SIM-LOCK or freeze and not the phone.
The photo are recoverable with android, not sure about the contact (i don't know where they are stored in bada).
In short, you need to boot an android recovery (see the android dev on bada section, i can also provide more detailled instructions), mount bada user partition and then copy paste what's inside on SDcard.
It need an sdcard, a SD fota, multiloader an android kernel and adb (android debug bridge, free software anywhere on the net).
No data will be lost if you do it (if you are on bada 2, else i don't know, and phone will still be locked).

Thank you, i had forgotten that i could just boot a costum recovery. Need to do some research on the contacts location tho since it's really the most important data i need to recover. Thank you again.
Hi yesterday I worked on my girlfriends phone. She said it just rebooted and showed this error. But I haven't found a solution here in the board.
It says. It's encrypted. When she puts in a code it says that it was correct but encryption unsuccessful. Data corrupt.After that only reboot in the same screen where to put code.

Biggest Problem. The phone is not important but the data. Most options would delete all files There are important family pictures and interviews on it.
t. I tried to connect via mtp but no luck. Is there a way to dd the data to salvage files later or something.
Any suggestions. Thx!

Samsung S4 mini (GT i9195) in Bootloop and cannot start recovery mode (No command)
I WOULD LIKE TO BACKUP THE DATA FROM INTERNAL PHONE MEMORY
Phone is 2 years old, as original and was never rooted and I have never added any inofficial software to it. I think Android 4.4.2 is on it, but cannot access the phone to find out.
First it did not start up again at all after last time the battery was low. Also it did not charge anymore, nor vibrate nor did the computer identify it when connected. Also tried with different battery and chargers, phone was completely dead.
I disasambled it and cleaned it and now at least it boots again and charges, but its stuck into bootloop and only thing I can do is going into download mode. In recovery mode it shows "no command" with lying android and warning signal. It wont switch into the menu for recovery options. Hence I have to try via the download mode to fix the bootloop I guess? - Any intelligence on this? Main thing for me is the data, so want to get the phone running again with all my data from apps etc. - is that possible?
I would buy a new phone anyways but have some important data in an application on this phone (a todo list with brainstorming I did for a job project) which I urgently need to recover. Is there any chance to get hold of this data which I assume must be stored on phone internal memory? Hence please suggest how I can backup the data from this phone. Also would be good if I can get pictures etc. saved.
Can I install Odin and CWR or TWRP in order to extract the data from phones internal memory? and if so, how? I am complete beginner to this...
Thanks for your help

TWRP has MTP so you can transfer files from the phone. I can't say about app data. I think that'll only be saved if you had synced the apps with some account. Appdata syncing with Google account was only introduced with Marshmallow.
Hello!
I need help regarding a Redmi Note 8 that no longer accepts the correct pattern and is locked.
I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to either unlock my phone without data loss, or make a backup of the phone's internal storage on an sd card/pc before hard resetting.
The device is not rooted and I don't have custom recovery installed. USB Debugging is on, but my laptop is not authorized.
With Adb, the device is detected but unauthorized. It seems to be detected normally in fastboot mode. I was able to get my laptop to detect it in recovery mode by clicking on "Connect with MIAssistant" while it was plugged in, but only in sideload mode. I also somehow managed to get into safe mode, but I used the stock screen lock, so unless there's something else that can be done in that mode, it doesn't seem useful in this situation.
I tried the actual MIAssistant software but it tells me to update my device before connecting. From what I found, this is because it doesn't even work with phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow or above, so that seems to be a dead-end, unfortunately. Downloaded from here, updated to version 3.2.1.3111. If there's a newer version that could support my device, even an untranslated one, I would love to know, but I couldn't find a working one.
I had some ideas that could potentially solve my problem, but couldn't find a way to actually execute them, so here they are in case someone out there who knows more than me could help me with one of them.
1, Is there any way I could authorize my laptop for USB Debugging without being able to accept the prompt on screen?
2, Is there a way to make a backup of the internal storage of my phone in fastboot/sideload mode?
3, Is there a way to get adb to detect this device normally in recovery mode, instead of in sideload mode?
4, Is there a way to get my device into mtp/ptp mode instead of charging mode when connected to a PC without USB Debugging so I can copy my files?
5, Here's a thread I found that seems promising, although it's old. Could I somehow use this, or a similar method on Redmi Note 8? The Recovery Mode is much more limiting on this device, unfortunately, so I can't exactly follow this tutorial. Are there alternatives that can be done in adb fastboot/sideload mode, perhaps?
6, If I am forced to hard reset, is there any software out there that could recover at least some of the deleted data afterwards, or is everything lost in case of a reset?
I am open to new ideas not listed above, as well. I am not a very advanced user so I probably missed some things.
Thank you so much for any answer in advance!

Sad to hear that. Are there any alternative options that could solve my problem? I'd really rather not factory reset.

not as far as i know, ask in ADB thread if you find any
Updated with extra info in case anyone else has any ideas.
Even if you can copy your files to PC, they are problably unusable because of encryption.
That is why you need that pattern
For security this is exactly what you want, if your phone is lost or stolen.

Do you mean that the reason it doesn't accept the correct pattern anymore is for security? I would have thought it would still accept the correct one, at least after several tries of the same thing. Being completely locked out even when you know the correct password is a little strange to me.

Howdy bro (I also have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8).

I need help with my pixel (taimen), and I don't know what to do. In attempt of resizing partitions with help of parted, I somehow deleted all the partitions (even though it showed they were recreated successfully), and now the phone won't even boot to fastboot. Is there any way how to repair it? I've had it for long time and I don't feel like loosing it today.
There are a couple of other threads where a user posted firebase files that could be used with existing firmware. Those files and a copy of MiFlash on the PC may be able to restore the device, but only if it shows up as a Qualcomm USB loader in Windows. The only other alternatives are to pay Google to fix the problem or sell the unit for parts.
