[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Rashnaro79:
Hello together,

i´m looking for a way to get some personal data from an old phone.

Short backstory on the phone are pictures from a trip to Canada from 2018, two days after the trip the phone dropped in the sink and shorted the screen maybe something other too. Anyways I disassembled the phone and took the mainboard out and dried it. I searched online for a exact replacement phone at the time there was nothing reasonable available to test the board if its fine. Things happened and i lost track of the project and forgot about it. This year i stumbled across the phone and got momentum to maybe fix it. I found a phone silly cheap online and bought it. Now its working again and boots just fine luckily.

The problem is now it has a lock pattern to access it. My sister can´t remember the pattern used in 2018 at the moment we are at the 120min waiting time to try again. Its a non global stock rom with a locked bootloader?. Google services are side loaded on the phone and no Mi Account was created or bound to the phone. The google account doesn´t list this phone anymore in find my device. ADB is activated but not authorized and MTP is also enabled in the phone our WIFI is also saved and working. Fastboot and the original recovery works just fine and i´m familiar with flashing recoverys and roms.

I am willing to unlock the bootloader and flashing the recovery if there is no data loss (photos & videos) AND i am able to get previous mentioned data from the device.

Maybe someone is willing to help/assist before i am going to burn xxx Euros for a professional data recovery.

Thanks in advance

hi there i am facing the same problem with an old phone from 2011 and my father doesnt remember the password and i'am wondring if you have a method to recover the data in the phone withode losing it or do i have to go to a professional data recovery to do that , and how much it ll cost me ???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Rashnaro79:
Since i bought a 2nd phone (same model) we only swapped the mainboard to the working phone. The fingerprint sensor on the replacement phone dindnt work after the swap so i thought this connection was cooked when we dropped it in the sink. After some trial and error i decided to try the old fingerprint sensor and it worked. We tried it with her fingerprint over an over increasing the limit further and further. In a weird way the phone unlocked itself after another try, it was weird because the phone lagged at this exact moment. We medially gone into the settings and changed everything regarding screen timeout and then saved the data.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] YazJawad:
hi again thank you for your reply actualy i solve my probleme , i figure out that the phone when it's turn off i can access my files using my pc, i don't know why maybe because it's running in nokia Symbian not android, so i transfer all my photos and videos to my pc then i hard restart it

For my Doogee N20 (Chinese Import), I have tried everything I just cannot seem to unlock the bootloader....HELP!

These are the following I have done:

Enable the "OEM Unlock" option & activated "USB debugging" under the phone's Developer Options

Downloaded ADB fastboot file (tried a number different download sources)

Download and installed USB driver (tried a number different download sources)

Ran 'CMD' prompt window in the ADB Fastboot folder (placed in C: drive) and run the following code:

C:\adb>adb devices​

List of devices attached​

N20EEA0000000013658 device​

​

C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader (the phone shows it is in 'FASTBOOT mode)​

​

C:\adb>adb devices​

List of devices attached

(My phone is no longer listed. I have already restarted with 'disable signature verification in Windows 10' and also in Device Manager I have reinstalled the driver and now its under Android Device > Android ADB Interface.....but thought I continue the process).

​

C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock​

< waiting for device > (and its stuck at this point. the phone screen does not change and its still in 'FASTBOOT' mode....​

What am I doing wrong? I tried various USB drivers and ADB exe. from various webpages. I tried 4 different USB ports front and back of my PC and 3 different USB cables including the original cable.

1. I am using the wrong ADB Fastboot file and wrong USB driver?

2. Is there something wrong with this particular phone because its a chinese import? (I am also having lots of problem with another phone I am trying to unlock bootloader Lenovo K5 Note (Chinese version) I think that one requires a password to unlock).

3. Is there something else I can try?

4. My aim is to install a custom ROM and nano GAPP and only install like 5 apps on it and to have it completly clean. I must first unlock the bootloader, right?

​

Try these drivers

Doogee N20 USB Driver for Windows (Official Mobile Driver)

Download the official Doogee N20 USB Driver for your Doogee Mobile. We also provide all other Doogee Mobile drivers for free.

gsmusbdriver.com

instead of the drivers related to Google devices as you did.
[General Questions and Answers] jackjack1885:
Thank you for your reply, For the life of me, I dont know why but it worked this time. I installed this driver before and it didn't work but this time, I have decided to install both drivers, ADB & Mediatek. I didn't install the Mediatek before as its for flushing ROM.

I did the same thing before including restarting the PC once drivers installed and restart again in 'disable signature verification' mode and reinstalling the ADB driver once PC restarted in disable signature verification mode.

I also used a different ADK and Fastboot tools downloaded from here

C:\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037

* daemon started successfully

C:\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

C:\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock

(bootloader) Start unlock flow

OKAY [ 15.311s]

Finished. Total time: 15.311s

CMD 'fastboot oem unlock' didn't work, but 'fastboot flashing unlock' worked for me....checking if bootloader is unlocked:

C:\platform-tools>fastboot devices

N20EEA0000000013658 fastboot

C:\platform-tools>fastboot oem device-info

FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

fastboot: error: Command failed

C:\platform-tools>fastboot getvar unlocked

unlocked: yes

Finished. Total time: 0.007s

C:\platform-tools>

CMD: 'fastboot oem device-info' didn't work, but 'fastboot getvar unlocked' worked.

Not sure how but it worked now. Nezt step is installing TWRP then 'GSI ARM64 A/B' ROM then nano Gapp , lets see what wonderfull mishap messing around with internals of a phone will bring us now :LOL:

MANY THANKS (y)(y)

Hi

I was familiar with up ROM for SPL 1.2

But in order to up ROM to SPL 3.5 version, I spent 6 hours to read all, all, all... and I still confuse.

No one says about the way to upgrade SPL from 1.2 to 3.x

As I knew, AP 4.0 can upgrade from directly from (???) - because in the instruction of AP 4.0 installing, they did not talk about the version of SPL, they only say that it must be 3.x, and 3.5 was attached in AP 4.0

But also they said that if up ROm 3.5 for SPL 1.2 it will make the phone be a brick one.

So confuse here.

Pls forgive me, because I am a newbie, so much information here (even I tried to search many times, but no result for me to know about that way)

So, pls help me to answer this question.

Thank you very much
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
from the beginners guide sticky at the top of this forum

SPL3.5 Upgrade

OK if you got this far You should be able to do this.

**First step is to install AP4**

At the moment there is only 1 foolproof way to do this and this is to use the Athena Updater

But first read the upgrade Guide Please Here http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf

It is very detailed and I recommend following it exactly !!

This is the link to the athena Updater

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387409

This simply answers your question!

Please read the Upgrade Guide
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vqscorpions:
thank you Lakeman

It is clear now for me.

As I know now, installing AP 4 is one process which also includes the "up SPL 3.5". That's why I could not find out any thread about alone SPL 3.5

Also, it means that AP 4 will support SPL 3.5 for any other upROM 3.5.

I know that the file PDF is VERY CLEAR about the process to Up Ap4

(however, it is not clear to talk about SPL 3.5 for newbie, who still doesn't know where SPL 3.5 is).

So I guess that, the Instruction file for AP4 SHOULD attach more one sentence " The SPL 3.5 is not alone until now to install, it is attached to AP 4 ROM, and it will be THE FIRST VERY IMPORTANT step to CONVERT Athena into SPL 3.5".

I am sure that, after that, the most stupid one can be known.

Thank you again.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] katooom:
Ciao tutti!

I have a T-Mobile DE2118 with Android 12 DE2118_11_C.16, SIM and bootloader unlocked. The goal is to get TWRP installed and to root the device. When I try to fastboot from Linux using either of the TWRP images from EnumC (twrp-3.5.2-11-holi.img and twrp-3.5.2-11-2-dre8t.img) I get this:

fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2-11-2-dre8t.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.752s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 2.752s

Is this expected because I have done something wrong? There are some additional steps for the DE2118? A different TWRP? Perhaps there is a special Windows fastboot as I have seen references to fastboot enhanced? I see detailed references for how to do things for the DE2117 but I believe I am missing something with this DE2118.

Thanks for some clues or help!

A working TWRP has not been ported to this device.

You can convert your device to STOCK OEM and root with my guides and this will also bring you up to C_17.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] katooom:
Thanks! In fact, yesterday I used your "Full Convert Tmobile...dummies" to prepare an old Windows-7 partition to do this but I have been working up the courage to make the attempt. It is reassuring to hear that I am on the right track.

Make sure you install .net v4.5 on there before you install Fastboot Enhance
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] katooom:
Thanks! By chance, it seems that I already had .net 4.8 installed from 2019. However, during setup I did have to setup the Visual Studio 2015 redistributable package.

Hello,

Is a way to get the call recording function on my phone? I installed the Voice recorder app, from galaxy store, when I called Samsung.

Tested it out only to find that I do not have that function, Voice Recorder app and screen do not record when on the phone with someone.

Is this possible to do without rooting my phone or flashing stock ROMs?

Hello everyone,

I tried to upgrade my Nord 2 (EU) device from Oxygen Updater and I downloaded 11_C.01 zip update file, but the instructions given from the app for local upgrade lead to nothing.

The apk that the app suggested can't be installed as my device runs Android 11 and recovery mode says that the version is older as the current (I have 11_A.21, how is it possible?).

So I want your help to update my device, thank you in advance!
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] roldev:
You need to wait the new update for A12 which will have android security patch newer than 11_A.21. Or downgrade to 11_A.20 which have lower than 11_C.01. So will update without issues. The reason is that 11_A.21 is newer than 11_C.01.OnePlus development schedule....

under the same scenarios on Fold4, photos arrive with reduced quality when sent, the photo is sent 2.5-3mb, and 615kb is already received on fold4. The settings have not changed. And I would understand if in one of the messengers, but so in all. Someone can check?

Hi,

Pardon me as English is not my main but, I'll try cut right in to the chase and explain more below.

Phone:

Working White Samsung S6 Edge Sprint Model: SM-G925P, locked by Pattern. Need access photos and documents, is this possible?

(Disconnected old sim and no Wifi connection)

What and why?

My wife's father passed away year and a half ago, hes personal phone contains food recipes & photos etc, that my wife really badly wants(happy wife, happy life), Hes father old iMac had gotten some water damage and nobody knows that password either so I'm trying to do everything in my power to fix this.

Attachment:

I have consulted & purchased Tenorshare & iMobie that were promising pattern unlock without data wipe, iMobie told that their application cannot do it, so i got refund.

Tenorshares application should be able do this but my G925P model is not in the list(pic) and I'm afraid to brick it and the customer service doesn't understand to ask R&D.

I don't mind purchasing any application or even pay for help, i just want to know if it is possible to gain access to this phone without wiping it?

I've been surfing the net for hours and hours, trying to find a solution and i still don't know if this is even possible.
