[General Topics] DeluxeMC:
So, here's the situation I’m in. Also I am 99% sure I got something wrong so please tell me.

I’m past the pattern lock screen so ADB won’t directly work to unlock the lock screen.

If I was at a pattern lock screen, I could use ADB to unlock the lock screen, as shown in a procedure here.

However, I do not have USB Debugging enabled, as you probably shouldn’t because of this obvious security risk.

You can however enable USB Debugging through an ADB Command, which may or may not work because you have to do it through recovery mode, which includes mounting and dismounting data partitions which I’m assuming is able to change values in android’s settings. Supposedly, you also have to have an Unlocked Bootloader as well, which is where the next step of the loophole comes in.

Entering Fastboot mode allows for an OEM Bootloader Unlock to be performed, which unlocks the bootloader and makes it able to load different operating systems (ROM Flashes), amongst other things. However, this performs a wipe of all of the data on the Internal Storage on the Phone, which is counterintuitive because this is just the same as doing a factory reset, which is the opposite of our goal.

However, there is one person who claims to have fixed the problem of data wiping, but I cannot find a way of rebooting into fast boot directly after I have issued the { fastboot oem unlock } command.

However, I cannot get the OEM Bootloader to unlock because a specific setting has to be enabled IN THE SETTINGS OF THE PHONE to allow for such an unlock from Fastboot Mode, which I cannot get into the settings of the phone because it is locked, hence the need for the use of ADB in the first place, which requires USB Debugging, which requires a Bootloader unlock, which supposedly deletes your data. Google Engineers definitely designed this pretty well. It's probably just my circumstance though.

Another solution would be to Reflash the ROM of the phone to a recovery rom or just another OS entirely since flashing a ROM doesn’t delete the contents of the internal storage. It doesn’t do this because ROM stands for Read Only Memory, which is sort of like the BIOS of a computer in hardware terms I think??? Since it's a separate memory partition (I THINK??? It's separate somehow) it doesn’t affect the main contents of the storage.

However, reflashing the ROM requires an unlocked bootloader, which WIPES THE DRIVE, not to mention you can’t get to an unlocked bootloader without something in the dev settings INSIDE THE PHONE, so any solution requiring a re-flashed ROM would not work, but it may work for someone’s use case.

HERE ARE THE GOOD THINGS TO LOOK FOR:

Your device is rooted, i'm pretty sure there are a lot of things you can do with this

You aren’t at the Google sign in screen of death

You have USB Development enabled PREVIOUSLY (It's not common to have it enabled) in the system settings.

You have OEM Bootloader unlocking enabled in your Dev Settings

If you don’t have any of those (which I don’t), then you can probably contact a Data recovery service and they will most likely be able to get your stuff back. I’d recommend Drive Savers.

Main Vocabulary and Connections:

Vocab	Definition	Enabling Depends on...
ADB	Android Debug Bridge	USB Dev Setting Enabled
USB Dev Setting	USB Development setting that allows the use of ADB	Unlocked Bootloader
Unlocked Bootloader	A version of a bootloader (the thing that loads the OS) that can allow for other things besides the factory installation of the OS to run & other things. (DELETES DATA WHEN BOOTLOADER UNLOCKS workaround possibly)	OEM Unlocking Setting Enabled
OEM Unlocking Setting	OEM Unlocking dev setting that allows the function of unlocking the bootloader FROM Fastboot	??? people can’t seem to crack this one
Fastboot	A function of the bootloader that boots android into a special mode that can receive flashboot commands from the windows command prompt or PowerShell.	Nothing, it can be run with some combinations of buttons.
Recovery Mode	A function of the bootloader that boots android into a special mode that can help WIPE SYSTEM memory and do a FACTORY RESET, or just other useful things.	Nothing, it can be run with some combinations of buttons.

IMPORTANT: ALL TOOLS REQUIRED FOR DEBUGGING that are developed by google.

Conclusion: Even though uploading more and more of your photos to cloud services contributes to the problem of massive data centers and the power they require, it's still probably a good idea to do so, and also probably just backing up your photos to like an archival drive on your PC.

Also probably installing a custom recovery option would be a HUGE help here, ClockWorkMod is probably your best bet.

You might consider enabling the OEM developer option because then you could use Fastboot/recovery mode to enable USB Debugging so you could get your files back that way, as this is a less obvious security risk, but it is still a security risk.

Here are some other forum posts that might provide some solutions.

Fastboot OEM Unlock without having to enable in settings first

Forgot pattern with data and wifi off, google can’t check if password is correct or not

I am seriously out of options, after I finish writing this I'm going to do a hard reset. I probably had pictures on there too which sucks, but I’ve been working on this for about 6 ½ hours now, and I think I’ve given my best shot at it. Hopefully this helps anyone else stuck in a desperate situation.
