Applied new MIUI Lockscreen, Won't Unlock Now

[fiskeryatigo]

I'm using MIUIAndroid 2.8.3. I got tired of a custom lockscreen, so I put on the stock one. In my haste, I hit the lock button maybe too early while it was still applying. So I locked it, but when I tried to unlock, the screen stayed blank, but the capacitive buttons lighted up. I tried to hit volume up and the back button at the same time, but it doesn't unlock. But what matters is all I really want is to back up my SMS messages. I haven't backed them up for a week maybe, but I have some I'd like to spare. Can I back them up, access them from ADB, or am I out of luck here?

I'm guessing here but do you have a nandroid back up you can restore through recovery by pulling battery pressing volume down and power then going in and restoring your backup? That should give you what you had before you got locked out And at the time of your backup . This is what I would try first if it were me. Then you would be restored to normal and everything would be as it was the time of the backup. Hope this helps. Don't see why it wouldn't work. It's sure worth a try. Best wishes and hopefully this fixes you're issue.

I do have backups, but there are a few SMSs that are newer than the latest backup I'd like to keep.

I think there is a button combo specifically for this issue try volume down or volume down and power or.. volume + and power..

Tried that as well, still no luck. Stubborn as it seems, I'm not going to quit just yet. I'm kind of sure that there's a way to pull the file from root via ADB, I just don't know the command.

Yeah your best bet would be adb currently.. make a phone call to yourself and then press home button while in call !?
