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

[Q] Kindle Fire Bricked! I know why, just need to know if it can be fixed.

About 6 or so months ago I bricked my Kindle Fire in a rushed attempt to install ICS.
Basically instead of properly installing the firmware, I mounted the root, and dragged the new firmware files (extracted) onto the old ones, without changing permissions or anything.
I know I'm stupid, and details may be fuzzy since it's been 6 months. I've installed ubuntu on USB since I've read there are some methods to fix it from there, maybe someone with my exact problem in the past could help.
I really, really don't want to buy the recovery cable, so if there is some other way that would be sick.
Thank you for reading!!!

I just tried using soup kitchen, I don't know what I'm doing really but it says "ADB STATUS: ONLINE" that's a good thing right?

Hate to triple post, but I'm getting this error using every option.
I'm hoping the only way isn't to use the factory cable, what about the shorting method?

Zeki TBDG874 Tablet

Just got this tablet a couple days ago.
Zeki Tablet TBDG874. It has 4.2.2 Jelly bean. I have been trying to find a way to root it. Have tried several different ways to root(including the update.zip, and crystalroot.zip) and they fail which a expected considering it is a different version of Android OS. Also cant even seem to find a usb driver that works for it either. If i could find a usb driver could dig further in but can't seem to find one anywhere. Called Zeki customer support and they informed me the tablet is very new and they don't have any drivers for it either. Was rather surprised by it, and was also notified they didn't know what rooting was even though i tried to explain it, that was in vain.
Anywho, I am wondering if somebody could send me perhaps there working drivers for usb and maybe they might work on it, or if any other ideas i'm open to try them If you need more info let me know. . If this is in the wrong place, please move accordingly. I have been lingering on here for quite some time but never needed to post before due to great people on here always having a answer for nearly every problem i have had with any android device.

Well finally found drivers for this tablet. If anyone needs them send me a message and i will try and send it. Cant post things yet or i would put them here. However have not found a way to root it yet. Have tried many tools and methods so far to no avail. If anyone has any ideas i'm willing to try anything. I really dont want to have to send it back but it may be looking like i have to. It keeps locking up and have to reset it alot to make it usable again.

mandamelo
ami mandame los drivers mi correo es [email protected] mandamelo porfavor lo necesito

King root was the only way I could root mine, but the tablet went crazy after about 2 months and quit booting.
The only other way I could think of that I didn't try was to push /system/xbin through adb.
Another useful tool was called Uberizer, but it requires full adb access to push superuser.
Lmk how you make out...
Sent from my BLU Studio 5.3ii using XDA Free mobile app

Could you please send me my mail [email protected] update.zip?
If the driver is recommended you use Android tablet Multi Tools v1.02b will serve to remove the screen lock or wipe cache, etc ...

I know this is super old... but...
hey this prob sounds stupid but would the"drivers" you speak of fix my tablet that won't boot fully? it won't factory reset either. I've never tried rooting or anything.. it just stopped booting past where it says "Android" back in like 2012 or something & I just decided to pull it outa the closet and see if I could find a solution. thx!

Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U ROMs

Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance

I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!

Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.

Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.

I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!

Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.

I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method

well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.

What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.

Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.

Did you find the zip file for the recovery

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.

links are down....check this instead
Hey guys, links here seems to be down .
Maybe this link would be useful for you all... stock firmware can be downloaded and useful help on videos is available too... Enjoy

XT1789-04 Wireless is missing

I've done many dumb things to this phone but I've finally found something I have not been able to recover from. Let's start with the list of things you guys will have me try that I've already done.
- FlashAll to the latest as well as the "Return to Stock" thread here on XDA
- Lenovo's Recovery Tool (I thought someone on XDA might be wrong about something and went with the Mfg's software, sorry I doubted you guys.)
I'm using linux so I convert your Flash bat to an sh but I've never had issues doing so before. I've rooted this and three other phones and I'd like to think I know what I'm doing I've spent about two weeks on here and other Android forums but this time I need to actually ask for your help.
Now on to my issue.
I installed Lineage OS using their lovely guide and everything was great until I found out my WiFi isn't working. Well can't have that, return to stock! Oh my WiFi is still dead. Wait now I can't even enable dev options because I cannot get past the initial setup without WiFI. OK full reset wipe and restore. Nope nothing doing.
It shows MAC unavailable in the initial setup. adb shell over via recovery shows no wlan0 then I tried TWRP and also OrangeFox because I saw a similar fix with it. I try ip link show but ip isn't there tried to su but it's not going. I think I have eveything mounted right but I'm more Arch than Android :\
And in 5 seconds someone is going to link a thread on here I couldn't find in the search with a easy 3 step procedure. But just in case that doesn't happen feel free to ask for any logs.

I'm a dumb. Be sure you do the Pre-install instructions as these are what fixed my issues.

Hi, is your phone ATT version? Thanks.
