[JB&ICS] Unlocker for Pattern | Password | Face Unlock

Note: For Jelly Bean (JB) TWRP Users:


-If flashing does not work, do this first before flashing the zip file.
Boot to TWRP > Mount > System

-If the zip file is on Internal SDCARD
Boot to TWRP > Mount > SDCARD1

========================


INFO:
Sometimes someone plays with your phone and your Password, Pattern lock or you lost your Face este Face Unlocking was set accidentally. This is a work around to unlock your phone without doing a factory reset or to flash a new ROM daw. Since sometimes custom ROMs have a built-in data format which resets the lock to default.

This is also usefull when you don't have an ADB available to do the commands or you just don't know how to install and do it.

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT THIS CAN HELP COMPROMISED YOUR PHONE, MEANING ANYONE CAN ACCESS YOUR BELOVED FLARE WITHOUT THE USE OF A COMPUTER IF THEY HAVE IT ON A SDCARD. THEY CAN EASILY ACCESS YOUR PHONES BELOVED DATA, MMS, PICTURES, VIDEOS, SCANDALS(LOL), CONTACTS,ETC.. SO I ADVISE TO NOT LET THIS FILE STAY ON YOUR PHONE. WELL IF YOU DON'T USE PASSWORDS, YOU DON'T NEED THIS.
