A couple of days ago, I plugged my N4 in to charge. I then turned the screen on and tried to scan my fingerprint, but I got an error saying that the fingerprint scanner has to close because it isn't responding.
It then went to my backup password screen. I tried every password (including the correct one I have written down), and none worked. After 5 attempts, it says that it failed to "recognize my fingerprint". Apparently, it thinks a password attempt is a fingerprint scan.
Anyway, I rebooted numerous times, soft reset, cleared cache with recovery, tried google device manager, Samsung's find my mobile, and ADB. My USB debugging must be off, because I can't seem to connect with the phone through ADB. My "remote controls" are apparently turned off, so Samsung's solution doesn't allow me to unlock it.
I'm not stuck at the lockscreen and I have information that I need to get off. Mostly conversations with my clients through text/whatsapp. I couldn't care less about anything else.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Tricks, or maybe a fastboot method? I just need to get back in, desperately.
