Hello.
My brother locked my HTC Desire HD by entering the wrong pattern.
Now I have to sing in with my mail but I can't remember what mail was it.
Is there a way to check what mail is registered or just backup my contacts and than, I'll do a factory reset ?
NOTE: USB-Debugging is disabled and when I concect the phone to the PC it says Charge Only.
If' there's a way to root it with download mode or turn debuging mode on or backup contacts or find the registered E-Mail, please tell me because I have 1000+ contacts and they're not backed up on Google.
Thanks in advance.

If you synchronized ur contacts with google, then after a reset,your contacts would be sent right back to your device after signing in with that acount. If you dont remember that account then am afraid you are going to loose em.
I havent heard of a way to enable USB Debugging remotely. It can only be enabled from the device.

I can't remember what account I used. If I knew i could reset my password or install Lock Bypass from my PC on Play Store but I don't know it.
I can't afford to lose those contacts :/

Then your options are really limited. Unless....
This is going to be difficult as i havent tried it before but it might be possible.
What i would want you to do is flash a custom recovery and back up ur rom. Then send the file onto ur pc and extract the backup. And go through the data part, since your conacts are held by an apk called contacts storage.
I havent tried it before.
But it might work

I can't access my phone because it's not rooted and usb debuging is disabled so I can't put a custom recovery :/
Don't get Panic...
After reading all the conversation, what i was thinking is that, If you're not rooted then you must be on Android OS 2.3.5(last update) or lower. So you can do either login into all your Gmail accounts One by One and check which accounts has contacts sync with number which you were expecting not to loose. If you find that one then just click "Forget Password" on your device. They'll sent reset password to your account or else last option Hard Reset.
Where i found: http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/unlock-android-smartphone-after-many-pattern-attempts-34229.html
I think your answer lies somewhere on above link so try it. let us know.

I tried all the mails I can remember but non of the works :/
It doesn't give me a "forgot password" option :/
None on the methods in that link worked...
I'll try to do something with Android SDK and terminal when I put the phone in Fastboot mode because it's the only way that my PC recognizes my phone...
I'll let you know what I've done

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.

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.
Hi there, my aunt ask me to unlock her pattern lock of galaxy W because she forget the pattern and (sadly) her email. I told her earlier that it should be wiped completely to reset it, ikr

HOLY COW!!! I found the solution....
So there is a separate password generated for you android phone other than you gmail password. Here is where you find it, or create it:
Log into gmail account on your pc
follow this link:
https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens#accesscodes
If you see a password next to "Gmail Phone"- Revoke it
Then in the "Step 1 of 2: Generate new application-specific password" box, type in "gmail phone" and click the "generate password"
Type (in your phone) the obnoxiously long password generated along with your username (without @gmail.com worked for me)
Voila, agony is over. Pass this along if it worked for you, save someone the frustration and anger. Happy Days.

The easiest way is to just call your phone and then you have to answer, go out with the "Back"button on the main screen. Go to settings and turn off the pattern and it will no longer be blocked. Worked for me.

Create a new gmail account that has a better password then use that to get past the wizard.

That will not work in the new 5.1.1 update.

It happened to me because I bought the phone used and the person forgot to disable that feature in Accounts & Sync.
What I did to make it work is to Downgrade to a 5.0 Android custom ROM (or official if you can, I couldn't, I don't know how and I'm not S-Off), and then sign in your account there, let your gmail account sync and then flash a 5.1 custom or official Rom from the same developer over it without wiping anything. Then you should be ok. Let me know if it works.
You could also try to reset your password and then wait 72 hours.
Has this been resolved yet? I have exactly the same problem..
when i install a custom rom (viper one 4.2.1 or 4.3) i get the following error please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device. when i install the RUU for AT&T developer i can log in just fine with my account.
anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Go back to your functioning rom and remove the google account (might want to do a backup first!). Then do the flashing etc and sign in with your account as a new device.
The problem is googles factory reset protection. Its designed to make the device useless if the phone is factory reset without being unlocked first.
The other way is factory reset from android settings, then flash, then sign in to your account as a new device.
Google needs to address the fact that frp is too strong and needs to add another way in to devices in the event of accidental lockout.

I am having the same problem more or less.
I have bought a Nexus 9 from another person.
I did a factory reset today and I cannot sign in now.
Will this solution work? How do I go to funcioning rom, etc?
This is a "Google" security feature... When you wipe a device and then set it back up, if you didn't delete the Google account first, it will ask for those "original" credentials. Only way around it is to completely RUU the device back to the latest stock image. But I've heard some devices still have issues since the SN or IEMI is associated with the previous users Google account.
So, if you buy a new device... ALWAYS make sure the previous owner deleted their Google account first, or have them there when you go through the first few setup screens to enter their credentials....Then after you enter your credentials, you can reset it.
Just kind of mirroring what shivadow said
OH no! I am having this problem with a newer device!! Please help! It has been about 22 hours since I tried booting a custom binary with a non-unlocked OEM lock! I'm waiting to try to sign in to my Google account until 24 hours passes! I might have to wait 72 hours! Please review the post [LINK=http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/s7-edge-canada-boot-to-twrp-t3509603]here[/LINK]...I don't know if I posted that right so cut and paste this if that link doesn't work:

I am having same problem with my old lenovo tab 3 7 . When i got it, i used it once and twice and then put it. now after a year or two, i want to install lineage and use it again as secondary device. but the problem is i don't remember which gmail id i used(i had 7 ids) and don't even have a clue about some accounts ids and passwords which i (currently using only 2 ids) don't use. And as usb debugging is disabled i can't do anything with my pc to get out of this situation.
Help!!!!!
I have forgotten my pattern and ive been trying for a whole day to get it right, but it just wont work. I'm on 6.0, theres no alternate way to log with google account.
I've been trying things out, but even with my computer, no luck at all, my usb is like "use usb for charging" and i cant change that cause i need the pattern.
If someone knows a way, how to pull those photos out, knows a way how to bypass the lockscreen, I'd really really appreciate it, these photos mean the life to me and im gonna be very depressed if i lose them.

Assuming your phone wasn't in airplane mode (ie, it is powered on and is connected to wifi or your cellular network), you may be able to use Android Device Manager. Log into the Google account associated with your phone, select the device and click 'lock'. You'll be prompted to put in a new password, which you can then use to unlock your device.

I did that but its asking my pattern first
Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed.

Well darn. I should have tested that before posting - I'm sorry.
There are some things I've encountered via Google search about deleting a file but it's not clear if it actually works and in all explanations requires ADB debugging to already be enabled and the bootloader to be unlocked. I'm unwilling to test the method because I don't want to mess up my own phone's setup.
Unfortunately, I think you're straight up out of options, besides a factory reset.
Does stock recovery supports adb? That might be woth a try
