10 STEPS to UNLOCK (without factory reset) your Android device locked by "Too many Pattern Attempts"

NOTE: This method will work only if your device has its USB Debugging ON and a Google account added. You will save all your data and applications as well.




You must be stuck to the following screen:


You're not able to sign-in because of no internet connection. To sign-in you need to enable either the mobile data OR wifi of your device, so here's (100% working) how you can do that.


Follow Step-by-Step to UNLOCK your device & be patient:


1: Collect all 3 of these that you're going to need:-

  • Download & install PC Drivers for your device OR (in case you don't find drivers for your device) Moborobo Application(25MB, link: Download here)
  • Download Android adb files (473KB, link: Download here)
  • Data Cable for your device.
2: Unzip the "adb files.zip" you've downloaded, and place its contents in a folder in C drive, I'm using here "android"
C:\android\...
Contents



The contents of android folder will look like this(refer picture on right): 



4: Now open "C:\android\" and copy this path from the address bar.


5: Now connect your device to PC via USB. It will take a while for your device to completely connect to your PC.


6: After connecting your device Run "command prompt" with administrator privilege, and type the following command(refer picture), paste(use right-click)the address you copied(cd C:\android) and press Enter.



7: Now you're inside the "android" folder.


8: Just to make sure your device is connected, type here "adb devices" press Enter you'll see a list of attached devices, the serial number of your device will show if it's found connected.

9: Now type here "adb shell" press Enter. You're now inside the shell. To enable the mobile data of your device, type "svc data enable" press Enter. Now you'll see your Mobile Data is turned on so you can sign-in and UNLOCK your deviceIn case your device doesn't have a SIM card slot, you can connect it to a known wifi network to which you've ever connected your device earlier. To enable the wifi of your device, type "svc wifi enable" press Enter. Now you'll see your wifi is turned on, it will automatically connect to a familiar wifi network then you can sign-in and UNLOCK your device
