Update ADB and Drivers
ADB Run works thanks to the adb utility, which needs to be updated periodically, you can do this directly from the program. You can also download the new Google Drivers. 
ADB Run - an application designed to facilitate the implementation of the process of flashing Android devices for a simple user. Includes and Fastboot from the Android SDK.
Almost all users who are faced with the need for a procedure such as Android firmware have heard of ADB and Fastboot. These modes allow you to perform a wide range of manipulations with the device, but the tools for working with them offered by Android developers have one drawback - they are console applications. Those. the user is forced to manually enter commands into the console, which is not always convenient, besides, the correct spelling of commands can cause difficulties for an unprepared person. To facilitate the work with the device in ADB and Fastboot modes, a special, rather functional solution has been created - the ADB Run program.
How the application works
At its core, the program is a shell over ADB and Fastboot, which provides its users with just the ability to more conveniently and quickly call the most frequently used commands. In other words, the use of ADB Run in many cases leads to the absence of the need to enter commands manually, it is enough to select the required item in the shell by entering its number in a special field and press the " Enter».
The program will automatically open a list of available sub-actions.
Or it will call the command line and enter the required command or script, and then display the system response in its own window.
Opportunities
The list of actions that can be implemented using Adb Run is quite wide. In the current version of the application, there are 16 items that provide access to an extensive list of functions. Moreover, these points allow you to perform not only standard firmware operations, like cleaning certain partitions in Fastboot mode or writing them (item 5), but also install applications (item 3), create a system backup (item 12), receive root rights (clause 15), as well as perform many other actions.
The only thing worth noting is that with all the advantages in terms of convenience, ADB Run has a rather significant drawback. This program cannot be considered a universal solution for all Android devices. Many device manufacturers bring some specificity to their offspring, so the ability to work with a specific device through ADB Run should be considered on an individual basis, taking into account the peculiarities of the hardware and software of a smartphone or tablet.
Important warning! Incorrect and rash actions in the program, especially when manipulating memory sections, can damage the device!Advantages
- The application allows you to almost completely automate the input of ADB and Fastboot commands;
- One tool contains functions that allow you to flash many Android devices from "0", from installing drivers to writing memory sections.
disadvantages
- Not available on the Russian interface;
- The application requires some knowledge of working with Android through ADB and Fastboot modes;
- Wrong and rash actions of the user in the program can damage the Android device.
In general, ADB Run makes it possible to significantly facilitate the process of user interaction with an Android device during low-level manipulations using ADB and Fastboot modes. Many previously unused operations become available to the untrained user due to their complexity, but they must be carried out with caution.
Many users of mobile devices often face a specific problem - they do not know how to unlock their Android. Often the reason for blocking is forgetfulness of the user himself. Taking care of the security of personal data, the owner sets a password or a pattern to log in to his device, which he cannot later remember.
The easiest and most effective way to find out how to unlock your tablet is to contact a service center, where they will help you unlock your tablet or phone for a certain amount. But if you do not want to spend money, and the time it will take to remove the lock is enough, then these instructions are for you. Consider several simple, but at the same time effective ways to restore access to the device.
Ways to unlock a device on Android OS
At the beginning of all actions, you need to figure out which device you need to unlock. If this is a phone, then you can try the following.
We make a call to the locked phone, accept the call on it without dropping it, minimize the call window and turn off the graphic lock in the settings. If you are going to unlock your tablet or this method did not help, follow the tips below.
Method 1: unblock via Google account
To unblock this method, the device must be connected to the Internet. If so, then we do the following procedure. We enter the wrong key several times in a row. Usually, devices are given 5 attempts to enter the correct key, after which the attempts are blocked for 30 seconds, and the display shows the message “You may have forgotten your graphic password”. Click on it, a window appears asking you to enter the login and password of your Google account. In this window, enter only your login (up to the “@” symbol) and password, press “Login”. After that, you will be prompted to create a new lock password. Create a new one or click "Cancel".
It is important to remember the following with this method. Creating a Google account after locking your device is useless. The account must be registered and synchronized in the device before the problem.
Also, a Google account can help unlock Android in the following way, however, this method is not effective for all devices. From a third-party device (computer, smartphone, etc.), log into your account, select the “Security” tab and go to the “Two-Step Verification” section. The account is tied to your Android device - well, if not, we try to link to a phone number. In the "Two-step authentication" section, select "Application passwords" - "Manage application passwords", where you need to enter your account password again. In the “Step 1 of 2” field that appears, create a new application password, enter the application name (any), click “Create password”. This creates an application password, which is also the password for the device.
We enter on the device your login from your Google account and the password you just created and, as in the previous method. Create a new pattern or cancel it.
Method 2: USB debugging with ADB Run
This method involves debugging the Android system using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) console application for the computer, as well as its simplified version of the ADB Run for the user. If USB debugging was enabled on your device, resetting the unlock through the specified program will help you. To debug in this way, we do the following sequentially.
The above method is universal and allows you to both unlock the tablet and control the Android system via ADB. After following this tutorial, the block will be cleared.
If this does not happen, you need to try to repeat all the steps or unlock it manually through the command line of the computer. To do this, connect the device to the computer via USB, launch the command line on the computer, in which we write the following commands, pressing Enter after each:
rm /data/system/gesture.key (this command will remove the pattern)
rm /data/system/password.key (will remove password).
We disconnect from the computer, enter an arbitrary key, enter the device.
Method 3: unlock Android OS without USB debugging and without ADB, Recovery mode
The following tips on how to unlock your tablet or phone involve booting your device into Recovery mode. Each device has its own way of enabling this mode, which can be found in the user manual or on the Internet. But there is a boot method for Recovery that suits most Android devices. We carry out the following:
- Turn off the device.
- At the same time we hold down the keys "Volume +", "Power on" and "Home" (if there is such a key).
- We hold the power button until the device responds (the backlight turns on, an image appears), the volume button - until the menu appears. You have entered Recovery Mode.
In order to unlock a device that has USB debugging disabled, and it is scary to understand the intricacies of the ADB program, or there is simply no desire, you need to download the file manager installer with access to the AROMA Filemanager system files to your computer. Copy the zip file to the SD card, insert the card into Android, boot the device in Recovery mode, select the installation from the SD card and press ZIP AROMA Filemanager. After the system boots up, using this file manager, you can manage it in Recovery mode, namely copy, cut, delete files, create new folders, etc.
So, let's unlock Android. In AROMA Filemanager, turn on "Mount partitions at boot", exit the program, then start it again. The device sections will now be visible. Go to / data / system / and delete the files gesture.key, locksettings.db, locksettings.db-wal, locksettings.db-shm. When the files are deleted, we reboot the device normally. Block removed!
The graphic key for the tablet is protection,which blocks other users from entering your device, in particular if it is stolen or lost. In simple words, a pattern is password, consisting not of numbers, but representing combination of nine circles, connecting which in the sequence specified by the owner of the gadget opens access to the device.
It's important to know: In some cases, you can try to enter the security key indefinitely. But, often, after several attempts, the program will automatically blocks gadget, believing that it protects it from an intruder who has attempted to steal data stored in the device's memory, and in this case, troubles begin, especially if you need to use the tablet urgently. How take off graphic keys will be discussed below.
How to unlock your tablet

Password represents a four-digit number or alphanumeric combination that was previously set by the user (for example, pincode 1111 or password ab11).
It's important to know: as you can see, the key and password activation methods are the same and carry identical functionality, and differ they are among themselves exclusively by the input method and each user chooses for himself which of the methods is more convenient for him to unlock.
Well, now we should proceed to a detailed description of the ways to unlock the device if the password data has been lost or simply forgotten.
We use a Google account
Google account verification is the most optimal a way to unlock the tablet, allowing you to access the device by sending an e-mail. To carry out this procedure necessary:
Resetting the device to factory settings
If, the password information was lost, and account recovery does not help, then in this case, resetting the settings via Recovery.

- Disconnect the device and go to the Recovery menu.
From different manufacturers, you can get into this menu in different ways.
Navigation the developers menu is carried out with the keys loudness, and the selection must be made with the button nutrition.
Flashing the device
If the user failed to enter the Recovery menu, then all that remains is reflash device, since this is the only way to start operating it from scratch. For flashing required:
- To find required version firmware for the device (firmware is selected depending on the manufacturer).
- Now, on the official website you need to download software required to control the tablet system.
- Further, it is necessary to plug device to a personal computer and run the previously downloaded software. It will automatically detect the user's device and suggest starting OS updates.
- After that, the firmware starts load and installed on a tablet.
Removing gesture.key and password.key
gesture.key Is a file on the tablet system that stores the graphics key data, and password.key - this is a similar file, but it contains data about the password. In order to restore access to the tablet, you must delete one of these files.
Deleting files:

The easiest way to reset is to use the utility located in your device's settings. Since access to the system is blocked, you will have to act through:
Each user action (creation of a PIN-code, pattern) is displayed in the system by creating certain files. We can conclude that if you delete the password data, you will be able to unlock the device without losing user information.
Many users are actually wondering how to unlock Android through a computer. To do this, you need the ADB utility, as well as your gadget connected in USB debugging mode. Follow the following algorithm:

Delete gesture.key (only works for pattern lock)
Unlocking an Android phone or tablet in this way is impossible without Root rights and. If these conditions are not met, then choose another method to bypass protection. The pattern is reset as follows:
Many of the methods described above are impossible without unlocking the bootloader. By doing this, you will get root rights, you can install your own firmware version or custom recovery, therefore, before hacking the Android lock, you need to remove the bootloader protection.
