Samsung galaxy j5 how i delete my forgotten pattern? - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hi.
I have the Samsung galaxy j5 2017(sm-j530f) model and i forgot the pattern i have lock my phone.
How i delete it without remember it?
Already do wipe data(factory defaults) & cache but still when i start the phone it ask me the lock pattern.
I try to download the firmwares:
J530FXXU1AQF5_J530FBTU1AQED_BTU_4file
AP_J530FXXU2BRH5_CL14125461_QB19348991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar
But it failed after it connected to the phone.

U tried from recovery mood?

Yes but it doesnt work.

I'm afraid to say that you need to flash stock rom again and your data will be lost for that Try to remember password/pattern ...thank you

Try guessing pattern several times , it will lock your device and will guide you through your associated account(Don't say that you've forgot that one too)

No simply I tallied you cause I have months to use that mail. Now that mail doesn't exist........

Finally I got that you're kidding with me... Nvm

Are you serious????
Really??
What i win if i am kidding with you?????
NO I WAS NOT KIDDING WITH YOU.
Everything i try when i open the mobile phone samsung galaxy j5 it ask me to connect with the internet and when is connected simply it ask me the pattern and this is the step i stuck.
It's so simple.

If you flash new stock rom via odin It won't ask you for password/pattern instead it will ask you to set with your email and password ...your device will be like a new one... To flash via odin...
First turn off your device,
Then press and hold power button + volume down maybe +home button together to boot into download mood... Search on google for proper key combination to boot into download mood,
Then flash via odin... That's all

As i see you are a new member of the site/forum so If you DON'T know please don't even post to my topic.
This was happening to old android versions NOT at android 8 and later.
I flash a totaly new samsung rom and it ask me pattern AFTER i connected to the internet.
So again PLEASE IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMETHING THEN DON'T POST to my topic at all.

OK... Thank you
Sorry and it's my last post on ur forum
I'm also using J5(first it was lollipop and now it's marshmallow). I always root my device and run new experiment on it & for that I had to/have to flash a lot (even on locked device). To be honest I never found that one couldn't bypass forgotten patterns. I'm really surprised about your problem ! NVM
Maybe this link can help u...

In twrp open file manager and go to /data/system.
Look for any file with .key extension and any file with 'lockscreen' in its name and delete them.
Reboot and that should be it
If no twrp is installed delete them files through adb on a computer

Or there is this method here on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49666433#post49666433

If i know correct when you say twrp you mean custom recovery menu correct?
The mobile has the samsung genuine - original recovery menu so.....
And the mobile doesn't let me to go to the menu and install any app.
Cause after i power on the mobile it ask me to connect it to the internet and then simply ask me the pattern.
If you want i can take pictures with my other mobile and send it.

No I know what you mean.
Is USB debugging enabled do you know?
If it is you can try delete through adb commands.
The thread I posted above is probably your best bet for an answer.

No there is anything i can do.
Doesn't let me to go to mobile menu at all.
After i connected to the internet simply it blocked me out.
So simple.
Do you want to make you a video to see what i mean?

No I know exactly what you mean.
Without USB debugging or a custom recovery installed I don't know what else there is you can do.
What happens if you factory reset again but next time don't connect to the internet.
Just skip the setup procedure

I'm thinking something else... Like the way we remove frp lock... If otg supported, download and store bypass apk in a pendrive... Connect WIth otg... By default it may read pendrive without that pattern... If it happens u can install bypass apk which will open settings manu and a reset after that...

You can't skip it.
You must connect with the internet it is one way road.

I think there is a way to bypass that by pressing the four corners of the screen or something similar

I screwed up my phone

Galaxy Note 3 Verizon
My fault. I was following a youtube video on how to get free tether. I did it, rebooted my phone and now
I am stuck at the white Verizon screen. After I did this I found the process was for TMobile, not Verizon.
It's been 3 days now and I'm afraid to do anything. A few folks have said, all I need to do is reflash with
a Verizon stock rom. I know for most, this is probably simple but, I'm almost in tears over this because I don't
even understand that instruction. I'm pretty sure once I have the correct file, I can flash my phone. I just
don't know what the name of or where this file is?
I did download these files hltevzw_MJ7rootODEX.zip and hltevzw_MJ7rootDeOdex.zip but I'm afraid to move for fear it's not the right one.
Is there anyone out there that might want to help?

First, thank you just for replying. I'm not sure of the terminology but, I can boot into the screens pressing Vol DN, Home and Power
I can also boot into the screens holding Vol UP, Home and Power,
I don't know what Safestrap is. Sorry.

You would have had to install safestrap in the first place... and seeing as how you don't know what that is, I'm guessing you didn't, :laugh:
That's OK, though, if you can get into download/ odin mode you *should* be able to odin a copy of MJ7 or MJE. Try the steps listed in the guide I posted and see if that works first.

Can you tell me if these are the correct files? N900VVRUBMJ7_N900VVZWMJ7_N900VVRUBMJ7_HOME.tar.md5 <--- 2.2gb
not sure about these two? hltevzw_MJ7rootDeOdex.zip <---51mb hltevzw_MJ7rootODEX.zip <--- 1.4gb
I should place them on the root of my sd card and the find them in the downloader screen
and flash them one by one?
I'll check your reply in the morning, ok?

The file you need is N900VVRUBMJ7_N900VVZWMJ7_N900VVRUBMJ7_HOME.tar.md5. That is the Stock ROM that came with your phone and that is what you need to flash with Odin. You can download Odin 3.09 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539. Install Odin on your computer and launch the application. Boot the phone into download mode, connect your phone via your USB cable and make sure that the Com slot turns blue, it may take a second as windows might need to install the correct drivers. Click on the AP slot and browse to the TAR file you downloaded. After you load the file into the AP slot, press start. This will flash the stock firmware on to your phone, it will be just like the day you brought it home from the store. Everything will be wiped out and reinstalled. Don't be scared to do it though, it's probably the only way you will get things working correctly again. Hope it all works out for you!

Use kingo. Search for it on Google. Hook up to your pc with your USB cable. Make sure USB debugging is on. To enable USB debugging go into about phone in your settings and press build number seven times, it will open up developer options. You can enable it there. Kingo is simple, after your plugged in just press root. Theres nothing to it. Personally I would replace the superuser app that comes with kingo with the one from the play store. Open superuser and select settings, at the bottom select "switch superuser app". It will uninstall and you can install the trusted version from the play store. Enjoy.

I've used kingo multiple times on multiple devices. So have many other people here. It's a definite way to root your device and I haven't heard of one person actually having any issues. Honestly, no I'm not worried about anything.

Hello,
The following should work:
1) turn of the phone completely
2) do hard reset ( http://www.recovery-mode.com/android/lg-leon-4g-lte-h340n.html )
The phone will be reset to like when you bought him. This means you will lose every app etc. but at least he will work again

hm that's weird.. anyway let's try it another way then
1. Download Super-Root.apk for LG Leon from this link : Download or http://downloadsafe.org/file/0yF980
2. Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.
3. Copy the Super-Root.apk over to the root of your SD card.
4. Once it’s been copied, disconnect your device from your PC.
5. Head to Menu>>Settings>>Security on your device and enable the Unknown sources option.
6. Open the File Manager app on your device and install the app you copied earlier to your device.
7. Once the app’s been installed, launch it from your App Drawer.
8. Select Install SuperSU from the first dropdown menu.
9. Select exploit, tap on it in the app.
10. The app should begin rooting your device, shouldn’t take too long to finish.
11. Reboot your device once it’s been rooted.
12. You’re all done! Excellent! You’ve successfully rooted your Android device using the Super-Root.apk app and you should now be able to see the SuperSU app in your App Drawer!

Firmware question - post Samsung beta programme

Hi guys,
I participated in the Samsung Beta programme after purchasing my Galaxy S8 last year and have since done a Factory Reset.
I have noticed that I am still getting the "This is Beta software" messages and I'm having more and more problems as time goes by.
Could you please tell me how I can go back to the original firmware, so that I can get rid of the beta version I can't seem to get rid of ?
Many thanks for any help,
Antony

Could you please tell me how I can go back to the original firmware, so that I can get rid of the beta version I can't seem to get rid of ?
Many thanks for any help,
Antony

With the use of Odin and similar revision bootloader firmware for your carrier and device
Restore to stable firmware
1. First of all, backup all your data:
- with Smart Switch Mobile, you need a microsd or usb flash drive. Your OTG-Connector is required to connect the flash drive
- or you have to use Smart switch for pc. You need to perform a full data backup
2. Enable developer options and oem unlock
3. Download Odin for oreo https://mega.nz/#!l8RhzahQ!V8oBOJOEic7e50oCD7KlB4jQltEe8YrzX7s6WGFw_-8
4. Then download your firmware for your S8 model. I recommend Samfirm(https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841) Just download Samfirm from this link and start it. (YOU NEED NET FRAMEWORK FOR THIS).
4.1 Enter your Model Number (e.g. SM-G950F) and your csc code (e.g. DBT for germany) at the bottom. Then let it search for an update.
4.2 Download the firmware it searched and tick decrypt automatically.
4.3 wait until it finishes to download
5. Unzip the downloaded file
6. Now start Odin and upload the 5 files to odin. (Delete the CSC_xx, you need HomeCSC)
7. Shutdown your phone if it is nearly fully charced like 50%
8. hold the vol(down)+bixby button+power button. If you get the warning screen, press vol(up) to pass it.
9. Connect your phone to your pc and click on start.
10. While it flashes your device, prepare your fingers for vol(up)+ bixby, but don’t press
11. Your device restarts if odin says pass. You will see an blue screen with an android robot and saying erasing. Now immediately, your prepared fingers should press the buttons (vol(up) and bixby). If the screen is balck hold as fast as you can the power button to let it start the android stock recovery.
12. In the recovery, perform a factory reset and afer that reboot your phone.
Your device should be on the stable firmware!!! If not reply!!
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I have a Mac, not a PC.
Does the above still work?
Thank you,

No I don't sorry. I'm not that technically good. I guess there is no simple solution for Mac ?

Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) with FRP Lock

Hello,
I just flashed TWRP and LineageOs-v16.0-UNOFFICIAL from this https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-lineageos-v16-0-unofficial-samsung-t3892229 and after reboot the screens shows "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.".
I bought this mobile phone completely legal. I read a lot about this, but I do not really understand what the purpose this functionality has.
When I started flashing TWRP on it, I haven't done a "Factory Reset" in the original Firmware. So I of course don't know the Google Account from the previous owner. I also don't now why the hell the Google Account is responsible for this.
I read, that with flashing Stock Rom and activating "OEM Unlocking" and the problem should be solved. I have never heared of "OEM unlocking" before, on my other phones I don't even have this point in the developer options.
Is this the solution? And where can I get a Stock Rom which will work?

Hello. Can you tell me what your variant of the phone is (SM-A510XX)(what are the numbers or letters which replace the "XX".
With the variant, I can help you get the stock rom and give you a guide on how to flash the stock rom via Odin. Hope this helps.:good:

No you don't need payment method for downloading from sammobile, Only needed if you want to download at high speeds. Provide me the link where you found your firmware from sammobile. With that link, I can download it, upload it to high speed servers, and then give you the link where you can download. I am asking for the link as I don't know what country you live in and therefore don't know the correct firmware. By the what I mean SM-A510xx, replace the "xx" and give the country code or the country you live in so that I can find the firmware as the number you gave me (A510FXX7CRJ6) is not what I meant and that number is a firmware number and not the device number.
ok, so after your post i tried another time to get an account on sammobile.com and now i succeeded. So the download is running atm. But the next question is; how am i supposed to get by the FRP lock? Cuz i tried to flash TWRP on it with odin, but got stopped by the FRP lock.

No. You don't need TWRP to flash stock rom via Odin. Just get the phone into download mode and flash the stock firmware via odin. You flash it the same way as you flash TWRP but just use the stock firmware. Hope this helps. Also, please make sure that the firmware is correct and if not, your phone will be stuck in a boot loop.

Oh. Ok I belive that the FRP lock won't stop the install as the phone is in download mode and the fact that you are flashing stock firmware.

Yup the download went very slow, took 2 hours to complete. So i succeeded with flahsing stock android on the phone. But when i booted the phone, it instantly told me that an unauthorised wipe took place and before i could continue with starting the phone, i had to log in with the google account which was on the phone before the wipe. So can any1 help me with this, cuz im out of options here.

You have two options. The google account has a cool off period and I read that if you wait 24 hours, the login will be gone. However, on old android phones, you have to wait 72 hours. But if you go to a Samsung service center, they will remove the logins for free.
I found this website where you can bypass the lock but I am not sure if it works. Do the samsung bypass and not any other brands. Try it anyway: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/bypass-google-account-verification-factory-reset-protection/

Well let's try two things
If your data is important to you try to install custom ROM via TWRP
And if not try to reset factory from TWRP
I don't think that you BRICKED! your phone
It only causes from flashing wrong model firmware
And I think the best way is install custom ROM(do a full wipe)(see completely clear tutorial videos to install it right)and after system booted you can install stock ROM again
---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------
If all the things go wrong
At if your completely know that you BRICKED it(that I don't think) you can easily request debrick.img and install it from SD card
So be relax dude
It would be great experience for you to save your phone

I assume that you must have installed magisk module like app systemizer or any other like that to convert system app?
Just have to uninstall certain module from twrp using twrp file manager. Reboot it will boot.
OR
You can use read my thread in guide section " upgrade downgrade without losing data" i mentioned in detail and also some links to ready magisk patched firmwares.
New Weird ****
So Thank you so much for replying, It gave me hope , I went to a Fixit guy, He I HAVE TOTALLY NO IDEA What he did,
Since i couldnt reach Download Mode, I got him to fix it, now ...
I am running my phone. Everything looks good, The warning of root at the start disappeared and the software starts normally.
There is 1 issue. I am still unable to run samsung secure folder (type apps , i think its because i did once root the phone), Secondly.
I updated my Phone to the new Andriod version and it bricked again ? (got restored by the same guy again), So like , can someone tell me what might be causing this ?
Should i Enable Debug, Go download mode and Reinstall the Original Firmware that I patched before with magisk? like (I compared the Baseband version and Build Version of the new installed software its not same as my original phone ? Maybe this is causing it not to software update? )
I dunno The Sideefffects of once rooting the phone? I mean can i ever get the old default non rooted phone back? I hope you someone understands what im trying to ask ? Like Should i Default firmware it ? or just keep using it ? will i gain something? like Will i be able to update the software?
(NOTE: I dont need root anymore . Im done with it.)

Once rooted, secure folder will not work anymore. If you are using Android 9 then use custom ROM because there is fixes there for Secure Folder. If on Android 10 then forget about it and wait until dev fix.
And for other questions, it sounds like you are newbie and didn't know anything about it until now. I would suggest to read some article here, explore about some magisk that what its, Bootloader ... how to unlock Bootloader etc. Trust me one day you will become dev. Good Luck
What i am asking is, I think something is wrong. I cant use Netflix , It was working before (when rooted), So i want to know, Should i Use ODIN to Put my Original (UNPATCHED) Firmware in this phone?
And If i do agree to proceed, (My Boot loader is unlocked permanently btw in developer options),
I just have to put it on download, connect pc open odin add the original files and run it ? and when start wipe data and cache. is that is ? Am i missing something can you please confirm sir? and these files only right?
"AP, BL, CP and CSC (I also have HOME file should i also attach that?)
Can you recommend me a tutorial to follow via odin, Restoring my Original Firmware back ? In s10+ please? Ill be grateful to you.
