Please help me.
I was trying to get into the recovery screen/mode by turning on my phone and pressing the up/down volume key but it doesn't go into recovery. It just boots up as 'normal'.
But when I try to enter my pin code it doesn't recognise it, hence doesn't unlock. And yes, the pin code is definitely correct.
What do I do!!!??......................other than a hard reset.
Thanks
PS. the bootloader can't be unlocked. If that's any help?
I've sorted it.
Apparently whatever I did with the button sequence it had disabled the Xposed Framework. All is OK now.

My friend was trying to guess my unlock pattern and after so many failed attempts the only way to use the phone is to input your Google account details. The only problem with this is I had the mobile data and wifi turned off so the phone is stuck on the same screen. Any way of getting past this? If not, any way to restore to factory settings without getting into the settings menu or flash the stock rom? For the first time ever a Google search has completely failed me
I'm not sure the correct key press sequence, but I thinking holding both volume keys while powering on (from off state) should get you into the bootloader, from there you can pick recovery, and in recovery there should be an option to do a factory reset.
edit: once the stock recovery boots, it might look like a warning sign with an android in the middle. from that point you need to do another key sequence to see the options. It's been a while since I used a stock recovery, so I am not 100% positive.
perhaps try and pull the battery and let the phone restart? might let you try and use the pattern lock.
Thank you! Sorted now It was the same key sequence from the recovery screen and got it from there!
I am quite sure that the stock recovery menu does not offer any options.
I know one way which would work 10000%. Go to bootloader mode(hold both volume buttons while switching on), connect to your computer, and then use fastboot(http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/) in the console, typing "fastboot oem unlock". This will unlock your handset(not a simlock,just the bootloader), but because of security reasons, your phone will be restored to factory settings. After that just use "fastboot oem lock" to lock the bootloader again if you want to preserve your warranty.
Stop thief!
I was using hasoon2000's All-in-one toolkit to unlock bootloader, root and flash a new ROM;
Everything was going smoothly, my "Vol+" key never worked, but I could do everything with the Vol-, so I didn't pay much attention...
Now, the power key has always worked, but I hadn't been able to boot into bootloader using the power + Vol- keys, I thought I was doing something wrong, and just used the script in the Toolkit to boot for me. Now, I think the Power key is not working on bootloader, for some reason, because I need to press the Power key to agree (selecting "yes, unlock bootloader (may void your warranty)"), and I can't!
I'm stuck now, I can't reset, I can't shut down, I can't accept, I can't decline (because all of that is done with the Power key!)
Is there anything I can do? Run a script to accept perhaps? or at least reset it...
Any help is appreciated
Have you tried pushing the key hard? Many power keys die easily with this phone. Or is it just the bootloader? Does it turn on by pushing it normally or you have to push a lot?

Pushing, holding, pressing, praying... nothing works. Eventually it restarted, i'm back to the non-unlocked phone.
The key works perfectly, any press wakes the phone, i can hold to reset, etc...
BUT, try as I might, i can't boot into bootloader (I need to use the script from the toolkit to do even that), and after i'm in bootloader, the power key doesn't work at all.
The question now is, Is there any way for me to install a ROM without a functioning power key?
Hi there guys!
I have a friend who had forgotten his pattern and Gmail account on the m8 and now we can't unlock it
We've tried to make it wrong 10 hoping for a reset as I saw on some websites
And tried to enter the recovery no luck as fastboot is on
Tried adb but he never turned it on
He would do anything to unlock it
From flashing a new firmware to unlocking the bootloader anything for a working device
Actuality I am a Sony user and I am a noob Inn htc stuff
So a helping hand is needed
Bootloader is always accessible, doesn't matter if the "Fast boot" power option is on or not:
Hold power and volume up for several seconds. This will force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark (but before the white boot screen) release vol up, and start pressing vol down. Don't let go until the white bootloader screen appears.
Or you friend can just go to Gmail on a computer and retrieve their password.

Hard reset using key combo. But it will wipe the data from the phone.
Then after reflashing make a nandroid backup!

Thank You guys It worked after some painful attempts
Hello Everyone,
I have a Redmi 6 Pro, with Chinese stable rom installed. My phone is stuck at MI logo at startup. I didn't do anything abnormal with it.
I can only access the Fastboot mode by pressing Vol down and power button. And nothing else. Pressing Vol up and power or pressing all buttons at once doesn't do anything, (Just goes to the logo screen and stays there.)
I am trying to reinstall the same rom using Fastboot method (Since it's the only way, I can't access recovery mode). but it's bootloader is locked. And I can't unlock it using the MI flash unlock tool. Because it requires modifying developer settings in phone, which I can't access.
I tried other unofficial method to unlock bootloader but it didn't work because that requires recovery mode. (Which I can't access.)
Please someone help me how do I unlock the bootloader, or just fix the phone any other way. I will be very glad if someone helps me get my phone running.
One more thing, I don't have any customer services center where I am right now, so that's out of the question.
EDIT: Sometimes (but rarely), the "Powered by Android" message also appears but then it stays there.
If you need any other information, Just ask me.
Thanks in Advance.
same issue here only fastboot option. tried edl/test mode but can't bypass edl authentication.

What happens when you try to unlock with official unlocker? u get error message or something? Also try to press power button and volume button continuously, let it reboot like that two three times, then leave power button as soon as u see the screen lighting on but keep pressing vol + till u see recovery. see if that takes u to the mi recovery, if it does then wipe data from recovery
I found an old while cleaning today, it powers on and seems to be working fine, there is a lock screen on it and I don't remember the PIN.
USB Debugging is not enabled.
I've been trying to boot into recovery mode with the combination
home + volup + power
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it just boots normally. I can't tell if I'm doing it wrong or if the home button is faulty (I can't use it to wake up the tablet)
Any advice would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I have the same issue but on the SM-t575
Really annoying as can't get into recovery and can't do factory wipe or reset as that's not available and like you it is locked with PIN.
Hope someone knows here
