Android Central Question
I've forgotten my pattern so my phone is locked, i'm trying to find a way to bypass the pattern in order to get my files and apps. I'm NOT interested in hard reset to unlock the phone, i already know how to do that and it's my very last resort.
My phone is a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, with android 6 (Marshmallow). it has locked bootloader, locked pattern, usb debugging enabled. and i have all necessary proof of ownership (like invoice, etc) and google account credentials.
While searching for a solution, i've already tried the following:
1) google's "find my device". It doesn't work because i need to confirm usb debugging by pressing ok in a pop up window in the phone which it doesn't show due to the screen lock.
2) ADB commands. It doesn't work because again you need to confirm usb debugging in the phone, which i can't do because of the screen being locked.
3) Root phone. Not working because again you need to confirm usb debugging in the phone.
4) set up custom recovery (like TWRP). Not working because again you need to confirm usb debugging in the phone
5) Stock Recovery not working because my xperia phone doesn't have one!
I'm at my wits' end on what to do, and looking for anyone with advanced knowledge that may be able to bypass the screen lock either with some low level coding or any other way.
