Honestly your best shot was USB debugging while authorized. Once that’s gone, it’s rough.
Yeah I’ve been careful with that now.
Also stop trying random patterns too much, you might trigger longer lockouts.
Just don’t install random apps on the phone after reset, that overwrites data fast
+1, not guaranteed but better than nothing.
If you do end up resetting, don’t use the phone after that. Try Android data recovery software on it, sometimes it pulls old media.
Checked both, only a few old photos there.
Before you give up, double check Mi Cloud + Google Photos from browser. Sometimes stuff is there without realizing.
Real talk, service centers aren’t lying. They’ll just reset it
Yeah saw that, don’t wanna risk making it worse.
There was a method with flashing eng firmware, but risky and can wipe data anyway.
ADB tricks won’t work now since your PC lost authorization. Without root it’s basically locked out.
Yeah tried that, still asks for pattern first.
Have you tried rebooting and using fingerprint right away? Some phones allow it before forcing pattern.
If the data is really important, some professional services exist, but they’re expensive.
