Locked out of my Rooted G1 -please help. - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi all,
I'm new at posting here so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I usually come here for answers to my G1 questions but have never needed to post before (yes, I'm a lurker).
Basically, after drunkenly failing to pattern unlock my phone, I pressed 'forgot pattern' and was brought to the Gmail sign in/unlock screen.
The problem is that it keeps saying my username or password are invalid but they're not!
I checked by logging into gmail on my PC and nothing has changed.
I tried 'username', '[email protected]' and [email protected]' to no avail.
I have a UK model and have rooted it using Jesusfreke's RC8 then the update to RC9 using Moussam's root app.
I don't really want to have to wipe my phone but will do so if necessary; I was just hoping someone could tell me why its not accepting my details!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

bump this message up the list please, I have not found any answers.

Device password

Hello!
I really need some help, I installed some cab files from this link. And now when I reset my HTC TyTN/Hermes (running the official WM6) I can't unlock it with my usual password. I have no idea what might have happened, but the only thing I can think of is that it was something in one of those cab files.
Does anyone know a way to work around the password check? I really wouldn't want to do a hard reset...
Thanks in advance!
at the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure you're entering the right password? i mean, your not entering the device password and it's asking you for the SIM pin or something.
i'm only mentioning it b/c i've done it before
Hehe, yeah I'm sure it's the right password. I've been using it for about 3 weeks, and I can't have forgotten it since I know it's the same numbers as the year i was born (not very safe I know ).
And it can't be the PIN code, since it's the same thing if I try it without the card inside.
I have also tried the usual 1111, 0000, 1234 and so on.
Thanks for trying to help me anyways
Does anyone else have any idea of what I can do?
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there are posts around here stating that a certain ROM does gives problem of resetting the password to some unknown (and untypical) password. It seems to be ROM related, rather than the CAB you've install. Try doing a search around for people having PIN problems.
Thanks for your reply!
I did a search before I posted, but I guess I didn't think of the correct keywords to use.
But after a couple of searches now it seems like I have to hard reset... And that this bug mostly happens to official ROMs, which I find a bit weird.
Oh well, I guess I'll hard reset, flash a cooked ROM and install a backup program to prevent future problems. Oh, and I won't be using a password anymore. xD
Good thing I save my contacts to my sim card.
Thanks for the help everyone! This forum is the best

Need Serious Help Urgently

I Am Unblocking My Spv M700 And Its All Going Wrong I Got The Tri Coloured Screen But I Have Lost Connection With The Active Sync And I Neeeed Help
Please Can Some One Help Me Through Email Msn Pm Or Here I Really Need Help
When you are on the tri colour screen you are at boot.
You don't need active sync connectivity. Make sure you install hard spl before you flash your device with anything else.
If anything goes wrong with flash hard spl will get you at boot mode again and you can reflash.
Read the trinity guides to get through flashing without any problems...

Please do not post the same question in half a dozen different places!!. This is Cross Posting and is a breach of Forum rules.
It has taken me some time to clear things up.
You search, read and post if necessary. You wait for a reply.
If you do not get a reply it may be because nobody knows the answer or morelikely the answer is easily found or worked out.
Above all do not cross post and demand answers too quickly. It upsets other members and you will find you do not get answers.
So lets continue with this thread ONLY.
Anybody that can help?
Mike
may he should try another hardspl or sspl ? what other member think about it?

Arc Syncronizing problem

hello to everyone,
i tried to syncronize my phone contacts with sonyericsson site, but nothing happens. i tried to remove and add the acct again still nothing happens now i dont know wat is wrong or wat am doing wrong. I can syncronize with Google though.
My phone is Arc
Model:LT15i
Android Version is 2.3.3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build #: 3.0.1.A.0.145
Phone is not Rooted nor Bootloader unlocked. 100% untouched with any modification
Kindly am asking someone to help me figure wat is wrong or to solve this prob.
Thanking all in advance
I wasn't abled to either so we are both doing something wrong but not really I believe Pc companion is done quite poorly by S E Im quite disappointed in them even if it's me being a little bit less tech savi I don't believe they have made there product so user friendly like they have made there phones in the past .
I Hope someone has a solution for this, i believe there are alot of people with same problem out there, so if someone can post the solution for the sync problem it would help others. I tried to delete the Sonyericsson acct and adding it again but no use. i did clear the contact Storage which can be found in Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-All then locate contact storage then long press it and clear data, but still it did not help.
The last thing that i did was to reset the phone to factory default. This solved the problem, but i believe there is something wrong that i did. Hope other people wont go all way to reset the phone coz it's really tiresome setting back your phone the way it was reinstalling all the apps and contacts, really tiresome.
Hope somebody help

[Q] Need help accessing locked phone without data or usb debugging enabled

Hey guys,
First off, I don't have any idea where to post this as the phone I'm working with isn't on the forums, so I thought it would be more appropriate here. Please move it into the correct place if there is one. Thank you.
So I'm a new comer of course and I was browsing the internet for solutions to my friends phone issue and I came across this forum. From what I can tell this is a really intellectual environment and therefore was inclined to make an account to see if anyone can help me out with my issue.
The problem(s):
Currently my friend's HTC Wildfire S (T-Mobile) is locked out.
He had tried too many times to unlock it via the pattern and now has to enter in his google email credentials to unlock his phone.
Right now the wifi or data is not on for the phone
Failed solution 1: I tried to call him and have him answer the phone. I then tried to pull the notification tab down in order to enable data or something but that didn't work. I had read on another website that it could work.
Failed solution 2: I downloaded ADB and tried to access the settings.db file in order to edit it via an add on on mozilla firefox. After going to the path where ADB was located i typed in "dir", where settings.db usually is it wasn't there. I then concluded that he probably didn't have USB debugging enabled as that is a strange setting to turn on for no reason.
And now here I am...
He doesn't want a factory reset because he wants his texts, I can only guess that he has important nudes he wishes to save, haha.
Anyway, I'm not too educated in computer or coding language, so if you have any ideas please provide me with some extra details for my noobie status.
As a result of this tinkering, I'm kind of interested in learning how to code and messing around with my Samsung Galaxy S2, so if you also have any pointers for that I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for your help in advance,
I look forward to engaging in the community and trying to contribute
There is a forum for the Wildfire S. Search at "Type Your Device..." and you'll find it.

./adb devices offline

Hey People.
I am wondering if anyone could take a second look at my problem. I have had a lot of help from the forum from HTCNerdYoda and i feel guilty for taking up so much of his time and expertise.
Basically I guess my iniitlal unroot attempt went wrong in some part. Now although Rootchecker states i am not rooted. I have files lingering connected to SuperSu....I have been advised the files i need to flash to the phone through boot loader, but i don't seem to be able to connect from my mac using./adb devices it says List of devices attached FA46MWM12742 Offline....i have tried powering down, rebooting, turning off the mac reconnecting....although the phone is on and connected still saying Offline and been trying for hours now.
Can I ask for a fresh set of eyes to cast a look and see if anyone can offer something i am not doing or missing.
thanking you in advance
There is no need to open another thread for the same problem. If anyone else want to help you, they will help you in the same thread.
Already answered here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/how-to-unroot-htc-one-m8-using-mac-t2859675/page8

Many thanks,
