Bypass(Reset) Lock screen Pattern/Password/PIN/Fingerprint scanning without wipe

Bypass(Reset) Lock screen Pattern/Password/PIN/Fingerprint scanning without wipe
We know it's a big pain when you forget PIN/Passowrd/Pattern and you simply can't afford to wipe device as you don't have backup.
Then What?
You were all the night busy with your new beast and when you wake up in morning and notice that your GF/BF took revenge by registering and locking device by his/her fingerprint
Then what?
Very simple. Flash attached file from recovery.

Need to figure out bypassing roam restrictions in download booster

My company policy makes me enter a 6 digit password. It's just a pain. Can I bypass this restriction? They have made their app as device admin.

does this work on more devices like galaxy s5?

Wait, does this mean that the passkey and fingerprints are not secure since everyone can use this to reset/bypass the lock without wipe?

Obviously. Once your device is rooted / CWM installed, there is always chance to modify your system.

Usually samsung device have common storing location for PW PIN etc. SO I believe it should work on S5 too. You can try it, I don't believe it will affect anything else even it fail to reset.

Just like that...?
I take it this needs a custom recovery?
So... all a thief has to do is flash a custom recovery from download mode and then flash this file to get past fingerprint scanner and even a strong alphanumeric password?
DONT KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY!!

try the app Nine, its an exchange email app which lets you set the 6 digit on the app as opposed to the phone, so you can unlock the phone as per normal with swipe but when you want to open the email app (Nine) then only do you put your 6 digit code, works like a charm, just an idea cos as far as I know there is no exchange security bypass as yet.

I logged in only to thank you on this suggestion. This is one awesome app and my device is finally mine again
I set up pin code on the app + full encryption of the data, so it's very safe, all the draconian admin policies from my organizations admins are now gone, plus my device is now intelligently set to have automatically enable pin when I'm not at home.
If anything I have now double security because when I'm not at home, the device requires PIN and the corporate mail does too + it's all encrypted. Well worth the money.

What about for reactivation lock. Is it secure?And can i flash that zip file with stock recovery. My phone is not rooted.

This does not work on Galaxy S5

Did you use Odin to flash this file? Is so can I get some feedback on how because odin doesnt take .zip files. Since I do not have access to the file system, I can't move the files on to phone. Is there another way to flash this files to the galaxy 4 note. I am from the world of iPhone Jailbreaking and helping out a friend.

With Odin you flash your custom recovery. Flash attached file from recovery, it's said in OP.

I took a nandroid backup with fingerprints registered, when ever i restore, it does not recognise my finger prints and even the backup password says incorrect. I tried flashing the utility but no luck. Any work around for the solution as i had to factory reset from recovery to clear the data

It's known issue. Before making nandroid remove registered finger prints.

Can this be used to erase the stored fingerprints and reset them?
i used a nandroid backup and while i'm not locked out of the phone, i am locked out of changing fingerpring settings - and the backup password is corrupt as well.

(SM-N9300) Iris Scanner broken after flashing TWRP and rooting.

Hi everyone,
Let me explain, I used odin to flash the recovery, because of the encryption or whatsoever I wasn't able to transfer via MTP using TWRP in order to get super Su on the phone to root and boot because of the dm-verity thing.
So I wipe data and then I could transfer super Su, get the phone rooted, and boot it up.
Of course Knox was tripped, so i can't access private folder nor S health, but I can live without it. (Ok, if someone know how to make S health work again I take it )
After all of that I tried to setup the Iris scanner again and it scan my eyes, says everything is okay, and goes back to the menu where it is written "add your iris".
No matter how many times I try it seems that it doesn't save my iris properly, or don't save it at all.
Do someone knows something about it ? for those that are rooted do you experience the same issue ?
Thanks in advance
PS : I rooted following this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/recovery-official-twrp-galaxy-note-7-t3458413

Hello.
I did root my sm-n9300 following the tutorial.
Only SHealth didn't work.
To put it working again is easy:
Go to playstore, and downgrade the SHealth. Never allow to upgrade it again.
About the iris scanner, I had my iris saved before rooting, and didn't have to scanner it again.
The private folder works fine.
You didn't follow exactly the tutorial.
After flashing the recovery, you can tranfer su via MTP, using the sdcard, and then flash it.
Maybe if you flash the official firmware via Kies, and do the process of rooting again, you will have the iris and private folder working.
Hoppe this will help.

Hi, thanks for the answer!
In fact I wasn't able to transfer SU via mtp, for some reason twrp wasn't able to mount anything, so I had to format data, in order to "break" the encryption.
Maybe I'll try to flash the firmware with Kies and do it all over again.
But I don't get how secure folder can be working for you if knox is tripped...

Hello.
Indeed you are right.
The private folder don't work.
i thought it did, because everytime I was seeing photos, I got an information to put them in that folder, if I wished
But never did. Now I tried, and got a message saying the Knox couldn't create it.
My mistake
Sorry. But the iris do work, indeed

I really don't have any clue about how to fix the iris scanner

Trying to use a secure feature where one side of security has been compromised, i.e the ability of any app to have root privileges. I think there is a reason for the Iris scanner to not be working... Admittedly I used to enable root I every phone as I do normally tinker at system level, but, more and more apps are doing what normally root was needed for these days, the need to root is really low now. With my corporate policy basically blocking any knox tripped device, I have kind of learnt to get by without root and luckily that is now paying off with some convenience features that you can only really use in a secure environ safely like Android pay, fingerprint and iris unlock etc. Now my phone is effectively a wallet, I really want those secure features maintained so something more sinister is somewhat blocked from making its way into there.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk

I see your point, the fact is when trying to set up the iris scanner there is no message about compromised security like when trying to open the secure folder.
In fact it works, it just seems to not be able to save it properly.
My phone is also a wallet in China since wechat pay and alipay can be use even on rooted phone, and it also can be use everywhere. ( no need of special terminal or whatever special technology, just a bar code scanner)
Thanks for your answer, I think k I'll try a factory reset tomorrow and let you know

I remember when setting up either finger print scanner or iris, the phone brought up a message about knox environment being activated, so I think you will be out of luck.
Be careful with rooted phone in China, I connected my rooted phone to my Chinese wife's laptop, and it installed an app with root privileges unattended!! I was not impressed with that I can tell you.

Unlocking phone issue after upgrade to 3.2.8

After updating to 3.2.8 I have issue unlocking the phone. Using my Fingerprint used to unlock it but now it just turns on the screen and asks me to draw the line and underneath it it says 'emergency'. (it does not say that it didn't read my Fingerprint)
Any idea what to do?

I've seen no such option to set or remove it (and it used to work before the upgrade)
Sometimes it does unlock and sometimes just turns on the screen and sends me to unlock via pattern (again, it didn't fail to recognize my Fingerprint)
Edit :
The issue was with Nova launcher, I had to go to 'advanced settings' and give it root access so it will be able to open the phone normally without asking for pattern

Worth Rooting?

Hi all,
Joining Team Pixel tomorrow after my debacle with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the green screen fiasco.
Just wondering if its still worth rooting the Pixel? If i do it i wanna do it straight away to save wiping my data again when unlocking the BL. My main reasons would be for Adaway, Removing the Nav Bar, Swift theme installer and Viper.
Most of these can be done via ADB now so is it still worth rooting?

Rooting this phone is pretty easy and it doesn't impact the updating process much if you know what you're doing, so I vote that it is definitely worth rooting.
I don't use a lot of root apps, but the two main ones are worth it to me. I use AdAway for ads (VPN ad blockers are slower and have several cons) and an app called Sa2ration to compensate for the screen's weak color.
I have everything working the way I want without any compromises. Very happy with my setup.

It's soooo easy to root, I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't. My main reason is viper 4 android, but adaway, pixel launcher mods (changes icons and has a system UI tuner), and sd maid pro having deeper access for cleanup as well.

I've always had an Android phone that has been able to be rooted. Adaway, V4A, Substratum, Sa2ration, Titanium Backup and removing the stock navigation buttons are the biggest things for me currently with the Pixel 3 XL.

I always recommend unlocking the bootloader right out of the box, even if you never plan to root. The sole reason for this is if at any point something goes awry and you end up in a bootloop or somehow end up soft bricked, with an unlocked bootloader you can be back up and running like new with a very quick flash-all script from the latest factory image on Google's support site. However, with a locked bootloader, if you find yourself in one of those bad situations, you're at the mercy of Google support to either get you a new device or go days without a phone while they try and fix it.
So, in my opinion, unlocking the bootloader is a no brainer on these phones, right from the get-go.
With that said, rooting is much more user preference. I found no reason to root my OnePlus 6. However, with the 3 XL my sole reason for rooting is to edit the build.prop to properly hide the nav bar at the system level, allowing me to use gesture controls without issue. You can use ADB commands to achieve this as well. But my experience in trying to hide the nav bar with ADB commands on this phone has caused some wonky things to happen, such as status bar notifications not going away and volume controls getting cut off when watching something in landscape mode. Rooting the phone and editing the build.prop was the only solution that worked for me to hide the nav bar without running into unforeseen issues.
If you are one to do other things like use Magisk modules and such, then rooting will be a no brainer for you. Also, as someone else mentioned, rooting this phone is the most straight forward/simple experience I've had rooting a phone in years.

Thanks guys thats it decided then. Is it best to OTA to november then root via twrp after ul bootloader.
Yeah nav bar is a pet hate of mine, I used to love LMT launcher, might try the OP gestures though on this one

Try this: [Guide] Pixel 3 XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by Homeboy76 do #4 then #8 if you want root. Also, Prerequisites has a link to download SDK Platform tools r28.0.1, if it needs updating.

I'm perfectly happy with the stock experience on this phone. I have no need for anything that requires root. I've rooted a lot of phones in the past, but there's something about this one that I just feel no need to do so. To me that says a lot for how far Google has come.

I'm getting my pixel 3 xl in a few hours today and I've been up all night watching pixel 3 xl videos. I was just about to post a question like this, but thanks to you I don't have to! The wonders of searching.
Anyways, I agree for adway and maybe even mods.
What bothers me is if I decide to use Google pay, Pokemon go or using my bank app, because I was told rooting can stop them from allowing me to use them.
I also want to do it out the box.
Also don't know about the new gesture stuff, so if I don't like it, I'd probably want to mod it.

That is exactly what I did with both a Pixel 3 and a Pixel 3 XL. Just don't do a permanent install of TWRP on the XL unless you want to lose your touch screen in TWRP with no way out of TWRP when it boots back in there. I ended up having to hold the power button down until I forced the device off. Booted back into bootloader and ran the temp TWRP (which strangely works fine for touch) and then ran Magisk again to get back to the OS. Strange, the regukar Pixel 3 took permanent TWRP after Magisk, rebooted to TWRP was still able to use touch commands and ran Magisk again to get back to the proper boot image. I can even go to TWRP normally, and touch is functioning normally. I'll have to write the stock boot image when I get home today so I can get back to stock recovery until TWRP for XL is fixed.

Magisk has a hide feature built-in that has been working for me. I have several apps that normally detect root and Magisk blocks their detection 100%. My banking app works (normally detects root) and Google Pay is working just fine with Magisk hide.

I've been learning to live with stock ROMS, BUT, I still need my root. Adaway, TiBu, Substratum, LMT Launcher. I can't give 'em up.

Not sure, I haven't encountered this.
I find that when an app has detected root, sometimes they retain this information even through reboots. In those situations, clearing all data from the app often fixes it.
Something else to be aware of is that if you have a widget for an app that detects root, it's not uncommon for the widget to load before Magisk finishes loading and hiding after a reboot. On my Pixel 2 I had one app where after each reboot it would load first (due to a widget being present) and would detect root and block itself. I had to remove the widget and just just use a normal shortcut to the app instead, as I would never manually open it before Magisk finished loading up fully.

I just got pixel 2 xl this thing is a beast came with 5g and unlimted data when I got tablets for kids literally no download it's all instant. every phone I have had b4 is rooted most still work. My question will I improve anything by rooting with this speed? I don't think a VPN blckr would slow it down. How hard is it to reverse root if I need warranty? Is this speed the 5g or just Google built a great product?

Unlocking the bl is problematic in some instances. Detection for apps and things like that. Why would you just not check off the "allow the bootloader to be unlocked" option in OEM unlocking? Then you get to fastboot and can unlock if needed without actually being unlocked and compromised.

It is my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, that apps recognize root but not bootloader locked status. As long as you don't root, you should be fine with all apps.

No I don't think so. If you bl unlock it will be detected. There are kernels that will fix that but stock unlocked is a trigger.

Yes. As @bobby janow said, some apps treat bootloader unlock as having root. DirecTV Now is a prime example. Also, Netflix won't even appear in the app store and would have to be sideloaded. Although, all of those can be worked around it is sometimes a pain.

Android q beta 2

Anyone running Android Q beta 2 ? Can you make a comparison to Pie in terms of speed or apps that crash or hang? TIA

I have no apps crashing and no apps unable to start. Performance and battery are identical to Pie.
The Android Q is definitely a daily driver for me.
EDIT: The only single issue I have is that double-tap or lift to wake are not working.

How best to backout of the AndroidQ beta2?

Can't mount system partition R/W on Marlin using TWRP 3.2.3-1 once updated to AQB2 (although I did a dirty update by removing the -w erase flag from the bat file before executing.)

As you can see in this screenshot, it's working just fine. You have to install the latest Magisk canary build. TWRP won't work to do some backups, but you can flash it fine.

Been running Q2 for a few days and is a great daily driver. As soon as Nova paid was installed I have no complaints
and battery life has been excellent. Coming from the Essential phone rooted this has been a pleasant surprise. For 180.00 new
unlocked on Sprint this is a good deal. I also prefer the 16x9 screen and camera.

So, I have some weirdness going on…
I screwed up and tried to install the last P build after getting the ota beta Q update….i had issues (possibly of my own making).
Realized that trying to go back wasn’t going to work so I thought I would just reinstall the Q beta version 2, I downloaded it…all seemed well until I wanted to get to “settings”
I can pull the “curtain’ down and see a few quick access icons (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode…) but it won’t pull farther down (second swipe) to see other options and the “settings” gear at the top. I also don’t seem to be getting notifications, I hear them but don’t see an icon.
I also can’t get to the setting that allow me to transfer files.
Any ideas?
Edit: also can't get to my app drawer...
Edit 2: home button doesn't work either...
I got it, it must have been a bad "dirty flash", did a clean install, and all is working as expected...except,
I've got root but can't see my internal storage with ES file explorer (I can see it when using my PC) (or any other root explorer) and can't edit my build.prop (can't save it)
