Have you flashed the recovery image on your phone using fastboot? If you have flashed the recovery image you boot the phone up normal and can telnet into it.

I tried it now here’s the result

Sending ‘boot.img’ (30848 KB) OKAY [ 0.992s]
Booting FAILED (remote: ‘unknown command’)
fastboot: error: Command failed

Are you following this guide?

yes got to the recovery mode now and in the shell it ask device lock code. I have 2 tries left. My question is this i tried the device lock code but it said wrong code. but in the documents it says like so 3) Shell” in the Recovery menu Type the following two commands. In the latter command, replace “12345” with your correct security code!

chroot /rootfs
/usr/lib*/qt5/plugins/devicelock/encsfa-fpd --check-code 12345
exit

Do i type the text with code replaced with my owncode?

There was a time when spaces in passwords didn’t work in recovery mode although they were working in the graphical password interface.
Not sure if it is still of actuality…
Do you have a space in your password?

I’m sorry, I don’t know this procedure. I can’t answer.

Glad you got this sorted, but for future reference, you have to first enter your device lock code in order to enter the actual Shell and after you get into the shell, you type/copy&paste the commands you listed. After that, you follow the guide to restore the proper boot image and your new lock code is 12345 or what ever you used instead of that.
