Locked out of family pics etc. on Google Nexus 7 2013 edition

The screen on my Nexus 7 was damaged a few months ago, and it was left unused until I finally got it repaired and returned to me yesterday.
Unfortunately I have so many different devices, I have forgotten the PIN code. I was aware I was unsure of the code while it was in for repair, but I was relying on the fact that I thought I could use the Android forgotten password option to reset via Gmail.
Unfortunately it seems this option does not exist, despite inputting many incorrect PINs and getting the 30 seconds delay. I have read this must be because the version must be Lollipop or above.
I also tried Android Device Manager, which can communicate with the device as it is online, and I set a lock code 1234, which the Nexus 7 mentions when I turn on the screen, but it does not accept it. Apparently if the device already has a PIN lock set up, that overrides the Android Device Manager lock PIN.
I know I can factory reset, but I would hate to lose the pictures - and yes this is another reason why I should have configured something where my files are backed up to drive etc. automatically. Is there anything I can do?

If the bootloader is unlocked then follow these steps to backup your data.

It is not unlocked, but perhaps I am able to unlock it without the PIN?
I read online about the Nexus Root Toolkit, and that I could perhaps ADB pull with that? Here is a screenshot of the options from the website:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Okay, so the PIN just came to me, huge relief. I am going to set up Google Photos to automatically backup my photos in case this ever happens again, or the tablet is lost, and double check that I have Prey installed.
Is there anything I else I should do that may perhaps allow me reset the PIN in the future?

Stuck on unlocking bootloader

I have been having this problem with unlocking my bootloader of Realme X .
The device does not accept any command from the fastboot, flashing unlock gives error (pic uploaded) .
Although the device is still recognized on fastboot, any command to it just reverts it to the screen for shutting down.
I have tried different cables, different pcs, linux and windows. Nothing seems to work. Other phones seems to work fine. OEM unlock is enabled. And the in-depth test app is verified too.
Device:RMX1901
COLOROS 6
Version : RMX1901EX_11_A.08
Kernel Version : 4.9.112
Security Patch Level : 5 September 2019
Any help is appreciated.

Download In-Depth Test and submit your application, wait the review and then you will be able to unlock bootloder.

I did that, the query was successful and the device booted into the fastboot quite easily.
Tried with cmd and system-wide adb, no such luck.
I was thinking maybe is it an thing with the A.08 update?
Let me try with the A.09 and see.

I had to use a different windows machine.
As soon as I switched, everything worked fine.
It could have been a driver problem on my first cpu (too many drivers from different oem installed causing problems)
Try uninstalling any non oppo drivers and reinstall One-click adb and Google drivers.

[HELP] Moto G5 Plus XT1686 boot up failure

My 3 year old Moto G5 Plus running android 8 suddenly restarted two days ago and went into Start up failure. It no longer shows My product or IMEI number. It just shows potter 000000000000000 32GB P3B
Bootloader logs read " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant" written in red.
I have my IMEI and product numbers saved on my pc in a notepad file, but the LMSA software does not recognise my device to even try to rescue it. I want to retrieve files from my phone before attempting a factory reset.
On using the LMSA, it says "lmsa doesn't match appropriate firmware. you can try to select a firmware manually" but then it has no option to select anything manually. I have my phone previously registered on the software on my PC.
I have not rooted my phone, nor used anything other than stock android. My bootloader is locked. I cannot remember if I had Developer options selected or not, most probably not.
On trying to go to recovery mode it says the same message " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant"
When I connect the phone to the computer, it recognises it (I hear a notification sound) and under Devices it shows under Unrecognised as "Fastboot potter s"
I've never flashed my phone but would it be possible to recover the files in the internal storage of the phone by installing TWRP (in a non rooted, bootloader locked phone) without data loss?
How does it work?
Please help! I really need to recover my photos and notepad notes. Is there any way? Any software?
Please help! Please!

i have the same issue.
can someone help with that .
sharing screenshots of the same.

I'm not responsible for what you do to your device.
Have you seen this post? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-as-qhsusb_bulk.3636457/page-9#post-76035108. Also read post # 223 about trying this on a Windows 10 machine.
Good luck.

Huawei P20 FRP Lock Removal

Hello XDA,
Hoping someone here can help me. Not sure if it was relevant, but something must be but I was installing an APP on my P20 that helps to verify you to access Canada Gov't websites. Yada yada and now my phone has a password on it. At some point I was given Google Codes, but those do not unlock my phone now. I tried updating the phone from wifi and safe mode however it still comes up with the password screen below. The SIM card is now in my new phone (S20 - done with Huawei) and the old phone is in Airplane mode. When I drag up from the bottom you can see that menu at the bottom that mentions "Enable Magazine unlock" but doesn't do anything except calculator and flashlight.
Yes I can access recovery menu and the option to Factory Reset is certainly there and I know how to use it. The thing is I have over 3000 photos (most of them of our Cats) on there and I cannot and will not lose them. Been hacking this thing for a few days now and even though the P20 does not have an SD CARD slot, I was able to insert a USB stick in the USB-C slot with a bunch of useful hack .APKs but I cannot seem to be able to use them. In the EMUI menu I can select Update from USB but it just hangs at 5%.
I don't mind any kind of solution but it has to keep my data. Would installing Cyanogenmod delete my data? Anyone encountered this before? Also - obviously my phone has not been rooted and trying to connect to the PC via USB does recognize the phone, but Visual Studio, the Huawei software and ADB and everything else does not recognize it enough to communicate with it, perhaps because of the password.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you try to make a backup onto your pc or does it not see the device? I know there’s Back up Option under recovery mode at more than one place but not so sure if it would include all of your data.
The only way to disable a password on a huawei is thro factory-reset along with the password setup proses.

You said something about google codes. Can’t it by chance be from your find my phone, that the device is secured from find my phone platform

Add Account and Device in Mi Unlock Status says Request parameter error

I've tried everything, please help.. I factory reset a few times, used a VPN, turned on Find device and sync (except SMS and phone because it won't activate my SIM), USB debugging, OEM unlock are all on and it's still the same. Of course I've waited about two weeks... It's on MIUI 12.0.6.0 Global and won't check for updates (says can't connect to network) I'm pretty sure something about its IMEI or something is broken too but IDK how to fix it. I'd love to get some help please

How many hours did it tell you to wait for unlocking?
Are you 100% sure the drivers are installed correctly on your computer and the phone is detected correctly?
When you start MiUnlock, did you click in the top right corner and update the app to the latest version before requesting unlock?
Edit:
When I unlocked my phone, the Mi Account said that the sim wasn't activated but I could still send and receive SMS.
