Hi all,
Greetings first as this is my first post on XDA and appreciate all you guys contribution all the way through here. Back to the topic I got my X9 using in good condition unless of low remaining space yet some weeks ago during my normal use the machine suddenly froze and reboot and after that though I am able to unlock on the first boot screen, by using the same unlock pattern I cannot enter my desktop and it always tell the pattern is incorrect. Yet no matter how many trial I did it didn't force me to exponential-time-wait. I googled for some time and learnt that the same problem happened on samsung S7 and some nexus device (those HTC made ones?) So at this point I am wondering if:
- there is any chance I can unlock my phone without data loss? i tried "find your phone" on ADM yet over-riding lock screen seems no longer work;
- The machine is clean as-is from the factory without any s-on/off or unlock of bootloader; under current circumstance am I still able to install TWRP and get a back up being dumped? (seems I can dump a copy and use the pc script to look into the gesture-key, or simply delete the gesture.key from TWRP / aroma manager);
- Any other alternatives I can do? I really want to keep the data inside as there were some precious photo as well as some chat-record that is not being backup to the g-drive;
thanks in advance =)

Have you tried wiping data? and photos are on your sd card/internal storage, which is not your system, data, or cache partitions.
or if ur phone is rooted then there are a lot of tutuorials to tell you how to bypass it
Hey guys,
last weekend my Huawai P9 battery got empty over the night and on the next morning after charging i noticed that the phone ask me for a password. Before i just used my finger sensor to get back into it but as you know after a complete restart it ask for the set password.
The problem is that i do not remember it in any way and right now i am @ 1 hour waiting time between the attempts.
I really don't want to delete and reset the phone and loose all my data. So i hope someone can help me to solve that problem to get back access to my phone without loosing all data.
Phone data:
Name: Huawai P9
Model: EVA-L09
Latest official available Android update installed.
No Root, No Modification
What i have tried so far:
1. Google Android Manager
I logged into my google account and tried to reset the password but google tells me it cant replace the password because its already active. So looks like that reset way only works for pin and gesture phones but not for ones that already have an active password.
2. dr.Phone
I have downloaded dr.phone toolkit for android and tried the unlock locked screen option but it tells me that the phone is not supported.
3. ADB / Fastboot
I installed ADB and fastboot on my system and tried to connect the phone to delete the password.key file. ADB is running on my windows but it does not get any connection to the phone because the phone has no developer option enabled and i am not able to enable it because it cant access it.
Fastboot does detect my phone but yea i cant delete a file with it right?
Greetings,
Chris
I would pay for a working solution so please help me to find a solution.

-I could only imagine that you are able to unlock your bootloader with DC Phoenix (normal bootloader unlock would cause data loss and u would need DC Phoenix for the oem lock)
-Maybe u are able to flash TWRP recovery with DC Phoenix and backup your files from there but i dont know if TWRP works without an unlocked bootloader.
-All in all DC Phoenix is a risky tool.

Stop stop stop.....
Is your phone under warranty? If it is, dont touch the bootloader or flash anything. Send it back to Huawei to fix it.
If its no longer under warranty, is it requesting a password to unlock your phone or is it the password for decrypt storage? And last question, do you use the finger print scanner to unlock your phone?
only solution with bootloader locked is the wipe data/factory reset inside erecovery
Due to some personal issues, I was not using my phone since the past 6 months. Now when I started it back, I am not able to enter the proper screen lock(Pattern) and I never ever made an account on myXperia. I tried many ways which included google find my device but find my device is not allowing me to change screen lock, it just allows to make sound and "Lock and erase" option which basically does nothing.
I actually need my data intact and after a little search on internet, I came to know that i need to unlock my bootloader and then flash a recovery and remove the screen lock file but unlocking bootloader will result in factory reset and hence my data will be lost.
By default the phone doesn't allow usb debugging when connected to pc, if some how I am able to allow usb debugging then I can recover my data.
Please help guys.
Hey,
Today I have an unusual request. At the Sister on the phone after the update asks for a pattern and despite entering the correct pattern it is not possible to unlock the phone, unfortunately the fingerprint for huawei after restart will not unlock the phone. Unfortunately, there is only one copy of her child's pictures on the phone and I don't think I need to know how important they are, I ask you for help. What can I do to get at least to the pictures in the internal memory. I read about adb but unfortunately the phone has no SD card slot so there is nowhere to put it in, I downloaded some Google programs that either do not support this model or are paid $ 60. All the time we try to enter familiar patterns every hour but after 3 attempts he locks the phone. The phone has an original system, no root, no modifications and USB debugging is turned off (as is standard in the system, because it was not needed by the sister).

Android is an open system so I believe there is a solution, thank you in advance! Greetings!

Isn't it great to see Android security in action. Send the phone to Huawei for unlocking. Proof of purchase will be required unfortunately.
I can do it here: consumer.huawei.com/pl/support/postal-repair
??
Proof of purchase will not be a problem.

That looks correct. Contact them with the issue, i'm sure they can help you.
Unfortunately, after a phone subject to Huawei, I received information that Huawei cannot unlock the phone without losing data even for the user who owns the phone.
are there any other solutions?
I tried ADB but with usb debugging turned off I can't do it.

This is exactly how it should work tbh. There is no reason for the fingerprint and pattern unlock to change after a simple update. Either more is going on, or you are extremely unlucky. If Huawei can not keep your data, maybe you are best to get them to reset and start using backups for your family member from here on.
Edit: I know that is a bad answer in your situation. However, it should not be a simple process to bypass security on any Android phone.
There is no possibility to use other way of unlocking (password or something else than pattern)?
Try doing an 'emergency backup' in eRecovery.

There is unfortunately no other option, otherwise a fingerprint would unlock the device.
How to make such a copy? After making such a copy will I have access to data? Can you expand the topic?
THEME DIRECTLY FROM THE SAMSUNG STORE. THE DOWNLOAD FINISHED AND I CLICKED APPLY EAGER TO ENJOY THIS REALLY COOL DREAMCATCHER\SACRED GEOMETRY VIDEO THEME.

I THOUGHT OK REBOOT FOR EFFECT NEW THEME\\\NO IT WENT INTO A BOOTLOOP GETTING TO THE PINK TMOBILE SCREEN B4 BLACKING OUT AND RESTARTING. ON THE 3RD REBOOT IT LANDS NOT QUITE IN RECOVERY MODE WITH 4 OPTIONS SAYING POSSIBLE DATA CORRUPTION OPTIONS WERE REPAIR APPS \REBOOT BOOTLOADER \SIMPLY TRY AGAIN\ OR THE DREADED AND UNACCEPTABLE FACTORY RESET.
NOW IM NO NOOB YET IN THE SAME TOKEN I HAVENT USED ODIN OR FLASH FIRMWARE ON ANYTHING SINCE 2013 AND I CAN NOT AFFORD A BRICK IT WILL CRUSH MY EXISTENCE CURRENTLY.
THIS IS THE VERY 1ST TIME IVE EVER POSTED AND ASKED FOR DIRECT HELP, SIMPLY BCUZ WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THESE DEVICES,THIS IS A PRETTY "WEAK" OBSTACLE IN THE WAY OF FUNCTION AGAIN.
SOOOO MY QUESTION IS THIS ## CAN I NOT SIMPLY USE RECOVERY MODE TO "UPDATE" FROM EITHER SD CARD OR ADB AND PUSH OR SIDELOAD A STOCK THEME OVER WHATS THERE TO GAIN FUNCTIONALITY BACK.
LIKE I SAID I AM 100 PERCENT SURE THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS WHATEVER IS IN THAT THEME IS CORRUPT OR ALLERGIC TO MY DEVICE. THAT SAID OF COURSE IM OPEN TO ANY AND ALL WORKAROUNDS THAT GET ME THERE. IM PRETTY DESPERATE RIGHT NOW BCUZ ALOT RIDES ON COMMUNICATION DAILY....IF MY FIX IS SIMPLE ENOUGH COULD ONE OF YOU DEV-GODS SHOOT ME THE STEP BY STEP CODE LINE FUNCTIONS I NEED TO COMPLETE THIS I HAVE ADB\FASTBOOT ON MY LAPTOP AND A DOWNLOADED THEME I KNOW WORKS BUT WILL MY SUGGESTION WORK AND IF SO CAN YALL HELP ME WITH THE FUNCTIONS OF CODE I HIGHLY APPRECIATE ANYONES TIME, ABILITY AND CAPACITY TO HELP ME OUT TODAY AT LEAST GOODNESS I HOPE ITS TODAY PLEASE RESCUE/

Hope someone can help you fix your N9.
Bad news odin and such wont help. Right now you are what's called soft locked you have 1 recourse and that is factory reset. Using adb it might be possible to pull off a backup of the file system but that is still it. If you get a readable backup you are still going to need factory reset. The only thing that would have helped would be twrp and nandroid backups you could have loaded them or used twrp to mount the emmc to copy off. And since you are stock you might have encrypted the emmc and sd card and if that is the case nobody can help you you only have 1 option and that is factory reset and restore from syncronized backup.
What's more is this isn't an issue of a maligned 3rd party theme needing to be overwritten it is from an official store on a stock device. Good news is you seem to have signed into samsung cloud backup and perhaps linked a google account to the phone so the auto backup should restore your contacts and txt messages.
