Hi, I am sorry I have to open another thread but I am very desperate!
I used "One Click Root" to root my SGS and worked great!
After I installed Titanium Backup to removed some default apps. So far so good.
The problem comes when i installed Clockwork Recovery to backup my Rom before removing the apps. I followed the guide, the phone rebooted but didn't go to the new recovery screen (yes, I had the update.zip in the right place). After rebooting the Titanium Backup said I didn't have a rooted rom.
I runned "One Click Root and Unroot" many times and wiped my phone to stock. After rooting the Titanium Backup keeps telling me the same.
How can I fix this? I am afraid this is not my only problem since my phone can't connect anymore to my AP (it can't get an ip address).
Please help me!
What version of firmware, plus any custom rom packages and/or kernel mods, were you using? It's hard to help without knowing some really basic info like that.

I have stock rom JF5 with update-1. All other apps seem to see my root priviledges. But the titanium can't! And I cant find to fix My AP connection problem. Is tere a way to REALLY clean my SGS or to fix this? All I did was the steps I said before...
Maybe you need latest busybox installed. Do a search on forums for version 1.17. Also email the developer as titanium backup has has lots of problems on age for me with restores and only the 3.3. 5.2 only kinda works for me

Will do. Now i will go to bed (it's 5 a.m. in Portugal) and tomorrow i'll give you feedback. hope it works. I should have removed the apps before... now I have to endure with them still and worst with no way to remove them... Thanks for you help!

No I didn't because I could't store my stock rom. Would an upgrade to Froyo (the official one) fix this? I can't connect to any wi-fi network (can't seem to fix an IP address...).
By using a terminal emulator can I reconfigure my wi-fi configuration or IP aquisition? How could I do this?

Those were the stpes I followed the first time and it worked great. After trying Clock Recovery then Titanium stoped working. I managed to fix my WLAN problem (so so). I can use Wi-Fi if I connect with a static IP but for that i need to connect to the network first with a computer so I can get the DNS IP. It's more trouble but at least my Wi-Fi works again!
Still no go on Titanium....
Hey guys,
I would like to start by apoligizing if there is a thread relating to this issue, but i have searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. The problems i am having is that Google just will not sync on my phone ATT Galaxy S3. I lost all contacts, google play, and google talk. nothing is working anymore.
Recently i tried to install "freedom" on the phone to get free in app purchases. then installed localepicker. now removed the locale picker and the freedom app and i am not sure if this is what caused the problem.
I dont know alot about all this rooting and flashing and stuff like that... i rooted the phone a very simple way from this website just to get game gaurdian on the phone to mess around with games.
So if anybody could helo with my problem thta would be excellent.
Thank you very Much.

When you go in settings and add account, do you get an error? Also, do you set it to manually sync or automatic?
Did it randomly stop or it was after flashing?

Can not establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues Call Customer Servic .
Thats is the message that I keep getting. And i noticed it this morning after I deleted all that freedom/locale pocket stuff. The Internet still works, it's just it refuses to sync the Google account.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

When you look at your signal, is it grey? When it is colored (blue most of the time), then it's connecting with Google, if grey, it's not.
I did a little google search (can go a long way ) and found a few solutions:
1- Just restart the phone without the SIM card, and connect to some WiFi network, so you can login to your Google Account. It will log you into the account, and then you can put the SIM card back.
2- Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
Go through login process
3- Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this.
Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

Tried step #1 and #2. None of these work. Just a quick question before Itry step #3 . Will it cause to brick my phone? The only reason I am asking is because the phone is rooted, by one of the methods on this site. That is my only worry, will anything happen if I do it that way or doni have to go threw Odin and that whole process again? Once again thanks for the help.

No you won't brick your phone. Although, make a backup first.

You can go in recovery and make a nandroid backup. That will make a flashable image of your phone which you can get back to if something goes wrong.

Wow. Ok I totally lost you there. I don't know how to make backups and flash stuff. Guess I'll just try to take off the pics and videos. And start from scratch again. I would love to have the latest JB update w/o all the bloatware that AT&T puts on it, but that a whole other project in itself. Lol Thank you for all your help.

Fantastic.... all your ideas did nothing...
Still experiencing the same problems. same error message. its like its blocking my phone from syncing. Maybe i deleted a file. I think the best bet would be to flash a whole new ROM or reboot the whole phone, and make it a fresh one.

Do a backup and go back to stock. See if it works there. If not, it's a problem with your carrier, maybe even your sim card.
Hello everyone.
Somehow I managed to lock myself out of my own phone using the pincode screen lock. I've tried a few trouble shooting solutions which I found online, including downloading something from my computers google play store. Nothing seems to be working and I was wondering if anyone here knew how to help me out?
I've using a sprint galaxy s3 with cm-10.2.0-RC1 mod and I can still access TWRP.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
unfortunately your only option is probably a factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe.
you can do a backup first, reset and probably then restore data for your apps and their data, that probably doesn't include the pin settings which would be saved in the system settings (I would think)
Have you tried using your Google account to recover your lock code?

You might try using an app like MyBackupPro and do a selective backup of apps and their data and not use the recovery restore.
Only thing I could find on pin and google account was for wallet and voice, admittedly I didn't spend more than a few minutes googling it. Figured I'd take a look as well, for ya.
Good luck
EDIT: there is an app for that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thomascannon.screenlockbypass.pro&hl=en

According to Google, if you enter a bad pattern 5 times you should see an option for "forgot pattern," which you can use to log into your Google account and bypass the lockscreen.

that's what I thought too, but I'm thinking cyanogenmod disables this feature. Its told me on numerous occasions "you got the password wrong 15 times, please wait 30 seconds then try again"

Hm. No idea there, but if that's the case then perhaps it's possible that there is a way to flash a patch to restore that functionality.

Flash this in recovery. Phone will be unlocked on boot. This is safe to use on ANY phone where u cannot pass the screen lock. Made by me so please don't do nothing unethical with it

worked like a charm. you sir, are amazing. thank you!
Thanks for the bypass alternative, Billard.
As an epilogue to this thread, I'd like to share a discovery. It turns out that there IS an option for "forgot password," but if you use a PIN instead of a Pattern with a PIN backup then you'll never know. It's squarely centered at the bottom of the screen if you get your pattern wrong too many times and don't decide to use your backup PIN.
Basically, some (I'm going to guess) intern had this bright idea for increasing security... And so what we've wound up with are two neighboring options on the scale of security levels: the PIN option with zero official redundancies, or the Pattern+PIN option with its TWO redundancies. Why the pattern gets more outs than the Mets on any given day, while the PIN is as rigid and unforgiving as a Catholic school matron, I can't begin to fathom. Go figure, huh?
Maybe somebody who's a lot smarter than I am can figure out how to copy that function and incorporate it into the rest of the lock options for future ROMs.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it,
-Zen
Hi All,
Sorry about the vague title but wasn't sure how to word it.
In a nutshell, i play an online game (madden mobile) which is obviously linked to my phones hardware. I messed it up and need to start again but can't as it always forces the original player i created as it knows the phone i'm guessing.
I have tried re-flashing my ROM (ARHD 34) with a full wipe but it still goes back to my orginal game login. I've tried flashing rom and using different google account, still no good.
Any suggestions? Whatever this game is using to validate my device - is there anyway to change it??
EDIT: Tried spoofing a different MAC address and that didn't work either.
Thanks for any help.

Are you sure it's not linked to your google account ?
I guess you are looking for device id
It can be backup and restore by titanium backup
Give a try

Whenever you do a system back up with Titanium Backup it also back ups your device ID. Which is what I lot of things use to save data to accounts. For example, if you flash a new rom and restore the ID you won't have to reconnect to a bluetooth device cause it already recognizes that device. So the game should regonize the same device as before even if you have a different rom.
Hi,
After a factory reset to Lollipop 5.0.2, I don't seem to have the Contacts or Phone app anymore. How can I solve this?
The background story is as follows:
I recently resat my Z1 Compact and installed Lollipop 5.0.2. Earlier I had a CyanogenMod version, but it had some annoying bugs, so I decided to go back to stock Android.
I used Titanium Backup to backup apps and user data from CM. When I tried to restore these apps and userdata in Lollipop, I got error messages all the time, saying "android.process.acore", "android.process.phone", "Phone", "Top Contacts" and "Contacts" had stopped working. Trying to get rid of these error messages, I cleared the data and uninstalled some apps related to Phone and Contacts, but the error messages kept coming.
I therefore did a factory reset again. I discovered that I did not have any contacts synced on my phone, so I tried to sync them.
It turned out I couldn't find neither the Contacts app or Phone app on my phone. It is therefore impossible to enter the settings in the Contacts app to make the phone sync contacts.
I have tried searching, but I haven't found a solution.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you may have to reflash. Did you check /system/app? Are they there? If. So, you could try clicking on base.apk, and see if they reinstall, or try to get a stock apk from another user. I'm currently not on stock ROM, so I can't. I came across this thread recently, http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/xperia-z3-apks-t3059426 - it's for Z3, but they might work, or maybe there's a similar thread for z1c, (I haven't seen it). Hope that helps.
Thanks for your answer.
The only relevant apps I could find in /system/app, was ContractsSIM. I'll try to find a thread with stock apps for z1c like you suggested, if not, I'll try the app from z3. If that doesn't work either, I guess I'll have to reflash again.

1. if you switch from a custom ROM back to stock always make a clean install (full wipe)
2. NEVER restore apps with Titanium Backup from CM to stock - lots of problems
Full Wipe - flash stock ROM - install all apk´s new - finish
Ok, great, I'll try that. ?
By the way, I haven't been able to reboot into recovery mode. It's like that possibility doesn't exist after I flash to stock Lollipop 5.0.2. That means I haven't been able to try to install Xposed (which I don't know if would work at all, though...). Any idea why that is, and how I could fix that?

If you flashed stock ROM via Flashtool, you no longer have root or recovery, etc., unless it was a pre-rooted ftf. You'll have to reroot, and flash recovery.
Edit- don't know if you figured it out yet or not, but. I came across this today - http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-collection-stock-files-sony-devices-t3142349
