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
Hi,
My desire is bricked so I have no SD card access or USB connectivity and I want to export my SMS messages to my new sensation.
Any ideas how I can copy my SMS messages from my Desire (bricked) to my sensation ?
The import tool on the sensation won't copy over the SMS messages.
Thanks for any help.
You cant get anything off a bricked phone as it is bricked. Are you sure its bricked?

Yep it's bricked I've tried all the things mentioned in other threads and no joy.
I'm planning on trying my luck at sending it back for repair as it's still under warranty but wanted to get my SMS off it if possible.
Does ,adb recognise it or no?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
brick is a term which is very over-used... tell us what is ACTUALLY wrong with it rather than just saying it's bricked. Does it turn on? yes? then it's not bricked. simple. (unless it's radio brick then you're f**ked).. If it doesn't turn on then okay it's bricked.
Try my guide maybe theres something on there you can find. However most solutions to problems make you lose data anyway so I dunno how much help It'll be to restoring your sms LOL

The phone works except for the fact I can't access the SD card or connect via USB.
I had a quick look at your guide and I don't think any of it relates to the SD card access issue, reading through other threads most people suggest running fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 to fix the issue but this doesn't work for me.
That's a standard usb "brick". Go through one of the usb brick threads from start to finish

Hi all,
I have rooted my wildfire recently, and flashed CM7 a month ago.
However, I restored it back to froyo as I found the camera app in CM7 very ineffective.
I use the camera a lot, so had to revert back to Froyo today.
Now I have been recieving weird sms messages that give me an option to save or cancel.
Please see the pictures attached.
Is is due to some app i might have installed and the permissions i gave it?
The sms messages are very frequent and pretty distressing as they disrupt my music too
Kindly help.
Regards,
Abhay

I rooted my phone by unlocking the bootloader from htcdev, downgraded the hboot version using "gold card " method, Used revolutionary to S-off and unrevoked to root.
I then made a back up of my froyo rom from backup options in the revolutionary recovery.
I flashed CM7.2 from the official CM website.
I neede the camera badly, so I had to go back to recovery and restored my froyo through recovery.
(I did wipe data, davlik cache etc according to the procedures mentioned on Xda )

Looks like your cellphone operator is sending you apn settings in the format which the phone cant read it.Which operator are you using ? BSNL ?
Three possibilities:
1. Service messages, stop them by DND
2. Some friend is sending u a flash message, try this from a nokia handset.
3. (Just kidding) You are using sms faker..

I am on DND. so, can't be service messages.
Don't have an idea about flash messages, but these are not like routine sms.
routine sms doesn't prompt me to save or cancel as in the first picture..

I dont think so,I think bsnl has been sending you apn settings, and trust me they have worst phone database. May be customer care people could explain better?

Done that as soon as you suggested the idea. i already have settings for gprs, and the customer care has denied having sent anything.
I plan to back up some apps with titanium, then do a factory reset and see if that works.
One important doubt though: Is it ok if i do a factory reset from settings, rather than from recovery?

Its the same.
Let me tell you, I dont think reseting will solve ur prob. It might be some app, maybe something like fb try to remember where u gave ur no. and when did this start.
Uninstall some suspicious apps that arent much popular in market..

If a factory reset does fix this then it will have most likely have been a rouge app. But if it is a network text, they wouldn't know as it would most likely be a automated service.

But it didn't work out.
Just uninstalled titanium backup... no sms since past two hours...
let me see if it works
My HTC Wildfire S has effectively been bricked after too many incorrect pattern attempts, and is stuck on the gmail account unlock screen.
My issue is, prior to it being bricked, neither wifi nor 3G had been activated on the phone, so it can't authenticate the gmail account when it's entered. Also, USB Debugging was disabled, hence making it very difficult to do much with a PC.
I'd very much prefer to stay away from a factory reset, as there is a lot of data on there that I'd like to keep, so any workaround, no matter how obscure, I would appreciate.
Which rom is this on stock rom
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
It is indeed on a stock rom, yes.
Also, if it helps, the phone is on Telstra.
Wats it showing on screen give me full details so I can help u and tell me if u r roted and have recovery
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
The phone is entirely unmolested, I was intending to root it soon but apart from that it's essentially stock in every respect. Also, I have no recovery images.
It's simply the screen requesting a login using the gmail account that was used to set up the phone that appears after too many screen pattern attempts. The problem resides in that the phone has neither network nor WiFi internet enabled, and I can't change that through adb because USB debugging is also disabled.
Maybe u disabled the data connection before I guess
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
Yes, the data connection was disabled before, thats my problem, if I could re-enable it, I'd be fine, the problem is the only way I know of doing that is by adb, however USB debugging has also been disabled.

Huh, got yourself into a pickle there.
From bootloader maybe, but I have no idea.
Just tried that now, I have the phone in bootloader, there's the five options, fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc...not entirely sure how exactly they function, except for of course factory reset...thought to perhaps explore fastboot, and there's the options "bootloader", "reboot", "reboot bootloader" and "power down". Any hints on where to poke my nose around in here?
Could it be possible to access the phone in bootloader or fastboot via adb without having to enable usb debugging within the actual phone?
No to push files u have to enable USB debugging

At this point, I pretty much just see a factory reset ..
You can't flash anything, seeing how USB Debug is off, so ..
At the very best, you could ask your local retailer :/

I have a rooted htc one m8 running 4.4.2, I've had it in my pocket, and the thing is it unlocks itself sometimes, and the screen is turned on. So today I turned it off, and when I turned it back on I lost service. The pin input screen doesn't pop up anymore, not after shutting it down and restarting, and turning my airplane mode on and off, on top of that my my middle on-screen button doesn't work anymore. I can press it and It gives me feedback by vibrating, however it doesn't take me back to my homescreen anymore. This is enervating as you see, not being able to talk or send messages... Please do give me a solution or refer me to the thread treating this issue as I've not found such thread. Thanks in advance!
Regarding the "Home Button" I don't have any clue.. Rooted my One as well and never happened to have this problem.
The no service maybe is not directly linked to the other problem. Are you using an original nano SIM, or did you cut it yourself? If yes it could have caused a defect which has not occurred right away. Have you tried removing the SIM tray while phone is on and place it back in? If not what happens when doing this.

I'm using an original nano sim, and yes I did try removing it. I haven't dropped my phone, nor was the sim out of place, no dust or water could have reached it either, I've got a sturdy case around it!
Do you know how to use adb and fastboot commands?
If yes you could try to clear the whole cache of the phone to check if the problems result of some data in the cache.
The commands would be
adb fastboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
No data will be lost by this. Thus this is what I would try first. Otherwise I would - as long as you are completely stock - perform a factory reset. By this all data on the phone would be lost including installed APPs, but it is with it, if you get the problem solved by this.

I've factory reseted it, wanting to flash the stock recovery so i could install the 4.4.3 ota, however inbetween everything I installed a back- up from twrp recovery. i didn't even know I had backed it up, it was a fairly recent one. So I got lucky, the problem has resolved itself, thank you for your help!
