I’ve recently separated with my husband and I found two phones that I didn’t know about one as a Samsung one is an Apple iPhone. Both both are dead. Is it possible when they are charged to achieve any information? If I don’t know the passcode?

Working on Ubuntu 20.04. I want to root my device to uninstall some apps (.apk) and possibly also install Ubuntu Touch. I want to uninstall almost all Google apps because I don't have a Google account and I don't want to. Without a Google account, you cannot use most Google applications (Gmail, YouTube, Drive...). A few months ago when I bought the device, I unlocked the bootloader, but I didn't have time to root it. Now I want to root it. I followed these TWRP for Xiaomi Mi A3 instructions and cannot flash or boot the TWRP.img. 1. I downloaded: twrp-installer-3.4.0-0-laurel_sprout.zip and twrp-3.4.0-0-laurel_sprout.img renamed it to **twrp.img** and **twrp-installer.zip**. 2. I copied the files to the device in **/sdcard** ---- adb devices adb push ~/Downloads/twrp.img /sdcard adb push ~/Downloads/twrp-installer.zip /sdcard adb reboot-bootloader ---- fastboot devices ---- fastboot flashing unlock ...

It won't let me use Google assistant through talkback or edit the emergency information.

I received a brand new BLU tablet and someone has already put a security pattern on it to unlock it. How do I unlock it?

My location now is in Africa and my phone is manufactured in America and it's an American version Samsung A03s. How do I unlock it? I've tried many online mobile unlock sites but they don't work.

I feel like I should have been able to find the answer to this, maybe I'm distracted or something, but does anyone know how carrier/network/sim lock actually works and if there are any workarounds? Say I wanted to make one of those unlocking services. What is the process? I saw a couple answers from some years ago, they all seem fairly vague and as if it's actually an unknown, so I'm not sure if that's current information. It seems inevitable that someone would have leaked or reverse engineered that information by now, right?

Is there a way to unlock a Samsung phone locked to a carrier without contacting the carrier for its unlock code?

It happens to me occasionally to forget phone somewhere, usually when working on the field, so I have custom text displayed on LOCK SCREEN " If you find me, please call ". And it is super efficient, usually people call that number even before I realize I forgot phone. But this only works when phone SIM is unlocked. If phone gets out of juice and powers off, when powering on SIM unlock prompt will pop up. So, before I give laser engraved emergency number to back of casing, I am wondering if some customized message could be written on SIM unlock screen?

I bought a LG D803 and it came locked to an unknown carrier. All the unlock services require the information of which carrier the phone is locked to give me an unlock code. So, how can I find that out?

I recently bought an unlock code to unlock a Motorola DROID 2 Global which was locked to the Verizon Wireless network. Navigating to the *About phone* section: Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Status, I saw two IMEI numbers. I used the top one (IMEI) as the code to complete the unlock process. However, when I tried to unlock the device, it rejected the code. - Should I have used the IMEI SV? - I have Android 2.3.4 but this device is normally equipped with 2.2, could that be the problem?

I use Keepass2Android to store my password, credentials and other sensitive information. For me it makes sense to use use it to store the PIN of my SIM card as well, so that I don't have to remember it. But when I reboot my phone (moto g73) I get the window with the *unlock sim* form and I would like to skip this step and look up the SIM on my keepass and then unlock the SIM. But it seems that this is not possible, at least I cannot find any setting related to that. The only thing that I can find is to disable the SIM locking entirely but I want my sim to be locked. I just want to unlock it after I looked up the SIM on keepass. Is this even possible?

I have a rather unusual scenario for which I need your help. I am running an OP9 Pro with Nameless ROM A13 and Microsoft Intune forced me to set a 8-digit PIN. After the last update however, Nameless started to automatically decrypt (FBE) after entering 4 digits after booting even though I need to enter 8 digits, which is probably a bug. When going into TWRP recovery, the decryption with the 8 digit code works just fine, so I backed up my data in case a reset is needed. However I am wondering if there is any other way via ADB to change the PIN back from 8 to 4 digits. When in

shell

, it says

:/ # locksettings clear -- old XXXXXXXX XXXX

/system/bin/sh: locksettings: inaccessible or not found

Maybe I'm missing something here. Would appreciate your help. Thanks Edit: Would it be sensible to try to dirty flash another ROM without said "bug" over this? Edit 2: This circumstance actually prevents me from using my phone, as it automatically tries to unlock after entering 4 digits (even though 8 are needed) and therefore fails to unlock. By decryption in TRWP I knew that the 8 digit PIN is still correct and in place.

My Gabb phone's sim card got locked. It's my only phone, so I can't call or text any number. I don't know my PUK code, which it requires to unlock. How would I unlock it? Thanks in advance.

I want to know if an Android tablet is specific to a cellular carrier (T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.). The particular one I have in my hand now is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, but I have multiple types of tablets in my environment, so I need to know a way to understand if the tablet is locked to T-Mobile or if I can simply swap SIMs to a different carrier. Where can I look in my T-Mobile tablet to check?

I recently flashed a custom ROM on my Samsung I9300. Everything is working fine, except I have to enter a 'SIM network unlock PIN'. I assume, that this is not the usual 4-digit PIN code. If I enter the correlating correct 4-digit PIN, it says 'SIM Network unlock request unsuccessful'. - I tried different SIMs from different providers which are working in a different mobile phone. - The problem appears with Slim 5.1.1 and 4.4.4, CM12.1 and OmniROM 5.1. My phone was running stock firmware Android 4.3 and I never had this problem (even if I once changed my provider). There are plenty of tutorials about how to unlock the I9300, but none worked so far, there are also many non-free services for unlocking which seems rather untrustworthy to me. It would be new to me, if the phone is or was ever branded. There is the possibility to unlock the phone by using the service menu by entering the secret/hidden code - *#*#197328640#*#* like shown in this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1hzeBEeO_k . Why is the code (or others) in Slim not working? Could you please verify too that the only possibility to unlock the SIM is to buy a specific unlock code?

I'm currently having problems unlocking my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. I've tried hard resetting it through the old volume down (or up) + power but it always ends up showing "No command", no matter how many times I try it.
I've also tried entering recovery mode through ADB, but being that USB debbuging is disabled, it won't even detect the device.
I don't have a Google account linked to the phone, so I don't know what else to do.
All support is appreciated, thank you.

What do the suffix numbers on Samsung Tablets (and possibly phones) mean. I ask because I work at a prepaid cell phone retailer. We carry the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. The model number is SM-T227U. I had seen something on a forum on a page about a cell phone model where it was said that the "U" stands for unrootable. When I search for details about rooting the T227U I get pages talking about the "T227" saying it is indeed rootable. Does the U stand for unrootable? Is the T227U rootable? What exactly do the suffix letters on a Samsung tablet indicate?

I got a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P, Sprint) running stock Android 6.0.1. As it comes, it's a CDMA phone, but I got it unlocked at a phone repair shop to use GSM and it has been working fine, but it only goes up to 3G. If I flash a custom ROM (lineage-14.1-20171004-nightly-kltespr-signed), will my unlocked phone stop working with the SIM? or the unlock will remain after the installation? P.d: I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm outside the US.

I've bought Motorola Droid Razr M from eBay. It is locked with Verizon by default, so seller unlocked device for me and it is working fine. It comes with Jelly bean 4.1.2 and I found that Kitkat update for this device. Now the question is Will my device get locked again after update from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2???

I bought an unlock code because my phone was asking for it (Enter PIN Code). I got the code and it does not work. It actually only allows me to enter 4 digits. Now, these guys are telling me that the code is for the phone's "Network unlock" not the "SIM unlock", and if I don't remember the PIN, I will need the PUK code from my network provider, so I feel that I paid for something I don't need. This is the first time I try to do this and I feel frustrated. I would really appreciate any help.
