Hey guys,
I already posted this on the MIUI.us forum and please don't bash me for reposting it here, but I kinda have this feeling that xda might be a bigger community
I have my marange miui ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627448 ) set on pattern lock and apparently my phone screen went off in my pocket causing the pattern lock to be triggered very often.
Now my phone is locked down as it asks me to validate via my google account, but I didn't have WLAN/3G turned on, so there's nothing I can do.
(I know this sounds stupid... as every "how do I unlock a locked XXX" question )
Is there a way to unlock my phone without reflashing it?
not sure bout miui roms but just when it says sign in, enter ur email and password and press sign in. it works (does for me anyway)

If you don't have internet connection, just flash the rom without a wipe. See if that works.

Hello all, I beg thee if you can help me, my friend "stole" my xda orbit while I was erm drunk and changed a load of settings, inc adding a password. When I was sober he told me what it was so I could use the phone again. But last night I accidently wanted to change the 4 digit number code that you do when the phone goes inactive for like 1 minute...Instead I think I accidently activated some password...everytime I go to restart the xda I get grilled for a password and if its wrong the time counter keeps going up and up...
Basically I really either need to crack or deactivate this password or some how backup my txts and phone...as I didn't before and theres a few sentimental texts I don't want to lose...
I hope you can help me
i think you might be stuck unless you can figure out the passcode!
i dont think it lets you sync your phone at all does it?
no sync
no asks for a password before sync-ing wondered if there was an alternative to activesync that would work??
was about bootloader mode, if you can go in you would be able to flash a (new) rom.....
errr right
you've lost me, last time I did rom flashing was on a very old XDA and ive forgtten..help!?!
You just have to go to WM6 artemis part of the forum, read the topics about "how to flash" and use the last wm6 rom B&B v3.7.
Before that, ensure bootloader mode is available.
Good luck
huh
1 I don't know how to know if bootloader mode is available
2 I think im on WM5!?
If it is a UK model then he can flash it back to the original ROM using the microSD card first if it will not connect by USB cable.
Yes its an 02 XDA Orbit and I live in the uk and it is a UK phone...so I guess I can but how the hell!? lol Thankyou by the way you may have saved me!
As it seems no backup was done, what about trying to ask a repair center if they can "unlock" the password. Of course you will have to show to purchase invoice ....
Thanks, that will be my alternative if the rom flash doesnt work...just need to be told how to do it via micro sd!!!!

I will PM you about the file you need as all references to it seem to have been removed from the site.
You then put the file onto an empty microSD card and put the card into the phone.
When you turn on the phone ho hold in the 'record' button (top left hand side viewed from the front of the phone) and the phone should go into boot-loader mode and recover the OS from the microSD card.
EDIT: NOT removed, just unpinned! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314866
Does it matter if anything else is on the SD card?
Do I need to update to a newer WM5 Rom after as I think i saw that 02 1 is a bit old??

Sorry, but doesnt a hard reset solves this problem?? (if the lock is on the phone) sipmle and quick solution.
If it is the sim that is locked, contact you provider.
Considering flashing the ROM is deffinately going to wipe any saved texts etc. Surely a simpler option is a hard reset?
Press and hold both soft-keys, press the stylus into the reset hole, release reset, wait for message on screen and release soft-keys.
This will return the phone to out-of the -factory state, so again you will loose all saved data in system memory and all installed applications in system memory.

Not quite. Flashing the ROM will erase your "sentimental" messages.

Yes, but it is looking like he is going to lose them no matter what happens.
Just Hard Reset it....Wont ask for the password...you will loose your data on the device though....and if your data is on the PC can sync again...no issue there...but the service centers will not remove the password...I had the same issue...and thats what i did.
cheers
yeah all you have to do is hard reset the pda and then the password will be erased, along with all your data ofc.
It would be interesting though to find a way to "crack" the password or somehow remove or bypass it.....
like some kind of PUK code?
Well, I normally dont use any type of lock for my HTC Desire HD, however I had people messing around with my phone therefore I set up a lock screen with password. Problem is I had mistyped the password 2times in a row while setting it up therefore now I don't know how to unlock my device. I have a gmail account however even after typing a incorrect password 75 times it still doesnt give the option to put my gmail it may be that I dont have internet connection at the moment on my device , all I have is emergency call. I dont want to delete my data on the device, I'm running LeeDroid custom rom. I've heard some suggestion about using ADB but couldnt find proper method how to
Replies very much appreciated,
thanks
I think the only thing you can do is wipe and flash rom again although i would assume there is some sort of forgot password repair.

that's what I really don't wanna do, got some stuff which I hadn't backed up yet thanks though.
Did you trie to re-install the custom ROM? Don't know for sure but if you don't format or wipe anything maybe it will set the lockscreen back in default.
Download android-sdk, this will give you the adb control.
when you plug your cell to your computer it will ask you what do to, and you can choose internet pass through(get internet from the computer on to the cell) and maybe the lockscreen will send a "reset password" request.
anyway, if you re-flash your current ROM without any wipes, you won't be loosing any data
help guys, i did everything the procedure of bypassing the activation like: tap 4 corner, safe mode, cdma workshop, cancel the *228 upon calling on them and non of them work on me.
i'm here in philippines and verizon network provider is not here.
my phone is htc incredible, android 2.3.3 and just a stock rom no mod just a fresh stock rom.

If none of the other options work about your only other choice would be to try and root it and get s-off, then you could remove the activation from a rom zip and then flash it.

can you give some information how to do that and what is s-off?

Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
did u cancel the *228 activation several times in a row? canceling once only will not work. you must cancel it like 3 or 4 times in a row.
i did it in several times not only 3 to 4 times i did it as many as i can but still doesn't bypass the activation.
many user out their have a same problem as mine and *228 cancel the call works for them, but in my case it doesn't :'(

If your on a gingerbread rom ie 2.3.* then this is the only known method to root and get s-off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400 S-off turns off the bootloaders security and allows editing of system files and flashing things thru hboot like radios and different versions of hboot.
Dissabling the activation is fairly easy. It just requires a build.prop edit, either in a rom zip before flashing or on the rom you are currently on. This requires you to be rooted and s-off though. If you can get your self rooted come back here and i will tell you exactly how.
There is always some danger when modifying your phone from its factory intended state, however thousands do it every day without issues. Just go slow and read carefully, if you follow instructions you should have no issues.

Try these instructions carefully:
1. On the Welcome screen with the touch the android to begin icon, do the following:
2. Tap the top left corner of the screen then
3. Tap the top right corner of the screen then
4. Tap the bottom right corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it) then
5. Tap the bottom left corner of the screen ( just above the grey bar along the bottom with emergency dial and change language in it).
6. That’s it, should pop up the home screen shortly, if not retry. Remember not to drag your finger, simple tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
OR This:
When you see the screen that tells you to call to activate just hit call to activate end call, back activate again, end call and repeat 4 times and then it will bypass activation.
Let us know how it goes. Cheers...

1)when the phone calls to *228 tap contacts icon,right to the "end call"
2)try to add a new contact and enter facebook or other socialnet dialog.
phone asks you to enable wifi, do this and connect your wifi network
3)next hold the search button and (via voice search) search in google "market"
4)tap to the official market page, phone asks you about opening this page,choose market app.login in the google accounts,if you need.
5)search in market "usb debug" app. install it and tap "open' in the market app
6)enable usb debugging and enjoy)
thanks to ramazancik94
this is just accidentally
another way if you didn't downgrade to 2.2
1. call *228 and tap the contact on the right side of end call.
2. add contact and put any information.
3. try to connect it in facebook to prompt the setting window.
4. tap setting.
5. tap search softkey and type application.
6. finally you can enable usb debugging without any problem.
now what should i do cmlusco told me to change the build.prop before flashing so it will bypass the actication screen. but i don't know how to do it, please help me.
ohhh... by the way i already root, s-off and install cwm .

Ok your probably going to hate me but the build.prop edit dosent work as i thought it did. I decided to try it my self before i took the time to write it out, and it does bypass setting up the phone (ie. google setup, location service setup), but not the ota programing as i had thought it did. Sorry
However now that your rooted have you tried flashing another rom and then see if you can use one of the tricks like 4 corners, access epst (##778), or call and hang up? The 4 corners trick, call and hang up, and selecting emergency call and typing ##778# choose edit mode and enter 000000, works on my rom, and on several other roms. Note it may not be ##778 on your rom, it could be ##data#, *#*#program#*#*, *#*#data#*#*, ##prog#, ##program#. I saw this which i have never seen before, turn the phone off then back on to get to the language select screen, press volume up, volume down, back, and search one at a time in quick succession
The only other way i know (and tested) to bypass it would be to rename /system/app/Phone.apk to Phone.apk.bak and then reboot. This will bypass ota programing. However by renaming the Phone.apk you can no lonher access EPST which you would need to enter your local carriers info.
You could also look in to QPST, a windows program that can be used to program a phone.

Are you trying to activate it on a local network? If so you need to enter that carriers info in epst, you need to get that info from them.
If your just trying to use it as a mp3 player etc with no service, just change everything in nam settings to zeros. If it says 0004564 change it to 0000000.
Qpst and cdma workshop are similar type programs, but not the same program. Im not very familiar with cdma workshop and if it would work or not.

This sounds fishy to me.... all you need to do is enter your Google account info next to emergency call. How can we trust that it is actually your phone ?

Hi
So I changed the PIN on my tablet and forgot it. Now I am trying to get in and I cant, I assumed there would be an option to log in with my Google account, but I do not see that option anywhere. There is no forgot password button like most phones for some reason. Is there no option for this at all on this tablet? I've already entered the incorrect PIN 60 times, hoping it would pop up asking me to enter my Google account info but no luck. Is factory resetting the tablet really the only way to get in now??!
