The worst thing that may ever happen to you on planet Earth is, when you forgot your Android smartphone’s password, it may be a pin, a pattern or any other kind of password that you may have implemented on your phone. This may be a case even when someone has changed your device’s password without bringing it in to your notice and you’re unable to get inside your device. The very first thing you would think to do is, you’ll try to apply any recovery options and most probably you will fail. The 2nd choice you’ve is, access your phone’s recovery and reset factory data, sounds quite ugly isn’t it? You will loose all your data just to get inside your device. There is need of a method that can easily grant you the access of your device without wiping/loosing data stored on your device or any settings on your device. In case you’re unable to find any such method, you’ll definitely want to hit your phone on the floor rather than compromising on your data. Well, you may just wait a little and find the remedy to your problem in the very post we’re going through.

Android Lock

Our friend Dr. Ketan (XDA-Recognized Contributor) has developed a great solution to bypass Patterns, Pins, Passwords on Android devices. The solution is packed inside a zip file that you may flash on your phone in case you’ve lost your device’s password, and it will immediately bypass it. What’s the cool thing here is, you won’t have to worry about any data loss or loosing any settings that you’ve made on your phone. Dr. Ketan’s tools earlier was believed to work on Samsung’s Galaxy Devices only, but after trying it on different devices by myself I concluded that the tools is able to bypass lockscreen on most of the Android devices without any hitch. So far this bypass has been tested on Sony Xperia Z, Xperia Z1, HTC One X, HTC One, One S, Sensation XE, Desire, Desire HD, Wildfire, Wildfire S, Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, Note 2, Note 3, Tab 2 7.7 and few other devices and it successfully unlocked all these devices without making any side-effects.

Let’s learn now how to Bypass the Screen Lock using Lock Screen Security Bypass:

      1. First of all you need to have a working CWM or TWRP recovery installed on your device. You may find one here.
      2. Download Lock Screen Security Bypass.zip file.
      3. Copy the downloaded .zip file to your phone’s sd card.
      4. Now boot into recovery on your phone. These methods vary for different devices. For HTC you may press Volume Down + Power Key & then select Recovery mode.
      5. For Sony, turn off your device, now turn it on and as soon as you see the Sony logo, press Volume Up key.
      6. For Samsung, turn off of your device completely, now turn it on by pressing and holding Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key.
      7. In case you’ve some other device, try using ADB method explained in this guide.
      8. Once in recovery mode, select “Install Zip > Choose Zip from SD Card > Lock Screen Security Bypass.zip > Yes “. 
      9. Wait for the file to get flashed.
      10. Once flashed, reboot your device.
      11. Turn it on now.
      12. Phewww! The lock has vanished.
      13. That’s All! Enjoy

Android Device Manager: Perform ADB & Fastboot Commands Easily On Your Android

Android developments are not seeing a break anytime soon. If you have a little knowledge about ADB & Fastboot, you may tweak your Android device up to the maximum extent by flashing recoveries, pushing in different commands to perform tasks in the Android ADB & Fastboot command window using your PC. It’s always been a big problem with newbies when they are unable to perform different commands and end up getting failed while they are trying to tweak their Android device. Most of the devices like HTC’s devices, Google Nexus devices, Sony’s Xperia devices and other similar ones need to be treated through ADB & Fastboot at times. While going through the comments on our site, we found that users are not so much familiar with this official Android tool and they need a much better and easy interface and rather then typing the commands, they should be able to click the buttons and get the work done for them though no such method was available at that time.

Well, we’ve a great thing to share with our users today. Our friend Mohamed Ashraf Fares (Senior Member XDA-Developers) has developed a great tool that minimizes all that hardwork and performs all the tasks by just clicking on the buttons. There is no need to type the commands again and again and then face different errors. The tool is named as Android Device Manager, that means this tool can manage your device, let you do whatever you want or whatever you could do using the ADB terminal. Moreover, you no longer need to install ADB & Fastboot setup using Android SDK tools and others. Android Device Manager comes pre-loaded with ADB drivers, this small sized tool has almost minimized all the worries and all the hardwork and complexity.

The interface is way too user-friendly. Mohamed has divided all the commands into different segments. You just got to enable USB debugging mode on your device, connect it, select your tab [the task you want to perform] and wait for the tool to do the job for you. You could never imagine this tough thing getting teared down to such easy method right? Well, that’s what I thought at first and later had to admit the tool’s ease.

How this tool works:

  • Enable USB debugging on your Android device. Get it in Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging > Check it.
  • In case you’re unable to find it because you’re running your device on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, you will have to first enable Developer Options. To do so, go to settings > about device > tap build number or 7 times. You will see the developer options in settings now, you can enable USB debugging.
  • Use OEM data cable to establish connection between your PC and phone, also make sure that your laptop has enough battery charged and your phone is charged enough to perform your desired operations as well. If you’re using a desktop PC, make sure that you’ve proper power supply.
  • Connect your device to your PC now and allow USB debugging once prompted after connecting it.
  • Open ADM and perform the tasks you want. You may find your desired .img files or desired apks to flash using this tool.

Let’s have a look at the features of Android Device Manager:

Basic Operations:

  • Reboot Bootloader.
  • Reboot Recovery Mode.
  • Reboot Download Mode.
  • Reboot Normally.

Install / Uninstall APKs:

Install or Uninstall Android applications using APK files from your PC. You can delete the applications by applying the package name. Installation is done by selecting the APK file store on your PC.
