Hello.
I've repaired a nexus 4 screen and digitizer but I got it back because my friend can't recover access from a forgotten pattern lock.
He is running stock android 5 lollipop and he doesn't get the email recovery option when he inputs wrong pattern. I've searched even in google support but I didn't find a solution to recover his photos.
My main concern is to recover files and photos!!! There isn't a reason to suggest a factory reset....
--Phone Status---
Boot loader seems unlocked "Locked state is marked as unlocked in bootloder in red letters"
USB debugging seems OFF: There is no android device listed in device manager. I only get a music player in disk drives which is empty.
adb devices command in bootloader recognises it
When entering to recovery I get the message "no command" along with the icon of an android under repair.
No dropbox no google+ photos backup
---What I've tried---
Android Device manager: Returns error that the phone is already locked and there is no need to apply new password.
Tried about 30 wrong patterns and it didn't came up the google mail recovery option.
Tried during a phone call to see the files but I only managed to turn on WiFi.
