Locked out of Moto X

Set a pattern on my phone and immediately forgot it. It's a first gen Moto X.

How do I get back into it?

Stop stealing phones, Tyrone.

Give it back, Jamal.

Goddamn it I knew this was coming

it can help legit users and it's not that hard to find anyway. Literally 1 minute to write.

Give it back Tareeq

you need to get into the dev settings to turn on ADB

Won't that wipe everything on my phone? Can I recover anything?

Yes you fucking idiot. You fucked up. You're not gonna be getting that data back no matter what happens now, might as well have a usable phone.

use fastboot for partitionning then.

But my memes

alternate locks always have PIN backup, just fail until it asks for the PIN

yep if you have to unlcok the bootloader.
Can't you unlock your phone with your google account?

Tried a 100 times.

Why do people always post threads asking for help with getting into a phone they're locked out of? I feel like it's just bait so people respond with the "Give it back" maymay.

Might be 101 that gets you in

Entire filesystem is encrypted, you probably don't have debug mode access.

You have to nuke it, there is no way in.

Why would it bother you so much unless you were a nigger that steals shit.

What makes you think it bothers him?

The partition is wiped, but you can just use DD to recover most of the data that has not been written over, yet. Data recovery on android is braindead easy.

Done. Shit yeah

Give it back, Jamal

So I can steal an android phone and get all the data from the person I stole it from?

factory reset. google the instructions for your device's exact model.

enter the bootloader and do a factory reset

Give it back, nigger.

sad fuck
