When the phone hold the volume up and power button turned on. The phone will reboot. When the phone is closed it does not fall into that trap black screen leaving the volume up key to releasing the power button, press the Volume down button. And select factory reset.

Sorry but you can't backup photos. And you do factory reset ?
if you made factory reset you data erase. ..

Do you have unlocked bootloader?

Use custom recovery twrp and aroma.zip file manger
In recovery flash aroma.zip then goes to data/system/
Find file name gesture.key and delet this file .
Reboot system then type any pattern.

Good idea but if he has locked bootloader he can't install custom recovery, and if he wants to unlock it, his data partition will be formatted in this process

how to unlock htc touch without password

Friends,
I've just joined the forum. My HTC touch has just been locked itself and I can't unlock it because I didn't set a password. I still can receive calls but can't make calls, the screen is password screen, nothing else. I can't shut it down without removing the battery.
I tried PIN, PUK, IMEI, 0000, 1234, etc but didn't work. I tried soft reset but didn't help. Tried hard reset but it didn't reset. I tried the SIM card in other phones, it works, thus, the problem is the device.
Any help will be appreciated...

Flash new ROM
You want to double check about that hard reset. I think you've probably only done a soft reset. A hard reset will reset the machine back and wipe off ALL your data and settings, including the password.
The front screen password of which you are referring to NOT any of the ones you have listed, but instead it is something you would have set when setting up the device.
Have a try with some of your usual passwords
I have tried hard reset (pushing green and red buttons at the same time pushing the reset button with its own pen) but, didn't reset (since there appeared no message on the screen like "the data will be lost"). I think those two buttons are not functional because of password. Every time I tried hard reset it has done the soft one.
thanks anyway

I'd suggest you query this in the HTC Touch forum rather than the General Forum for everything, as they have more intimate knowledge to help you
Hi there, my HTC touch just did the same today. I never set a password.
I contacted my IT guy and he mentioned the following:
Try number 1 once, and then tap unlock.
WORKED BRILLIANTLY!!
The HTC Touch does that all the time.
All you need to do is hold down the Send and End Call buttons down firmly and push the stylus up in the little hole near the usb port (Reset Button) and wait till the screen says that the phone is going to format and all data will be lost press the soft key to continue. Then when it says that press the center button and it will show Fat formatting and Rom formatting. This will erase all data on your touch so make sure you back up.
After turn on the phone and go through the set up and it should be perfectly ok.
You can do this for two reasons.
1. To reset the phone locks.
2. To repair the touch screen if it stops working.
Hope this helps. Enjoy
Dotybizz, I guess the O/P wanted a way to recover without wiping his data. However, due to the security reasons I'm sure you know about often that isn't a suitable option.
Not working

A Hard Reset restores the device to its default settings - the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are 2 ways to perform a Hard Reset on this device:
Menu path
* 1. From the Today Screen, go to Start>Settings.Select the System Tab and then tap on Clear Storage.
* 2. Enter in the password provided on the display of the device (should be 1234) and tap Yes.
* 3. The device will begin the Master Reset Process.
Keystroke Method
* 1. Power the device off.
* 2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Center Navigation Button at same time, do not release.
* 3. Press Power button and hold for a 3 count (quickly - say one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three). 1-2 seconds is too short, 4-5 seconds is too long.
* 4. The screen will instantly show the text to hard reset (this is a white screen with Blue text that provides the next steps to complete the Hard Reset. If you do not get this screen, power the device off and try again).
* o Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data is backed up before proceeding.

Forgot my lock PIN on froyo

I flashed [ROM-FroYo] Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (16/07 v1.0c | OpenDesire Team) and set up a phone lock when the display turns off.
After a couple of hours I realised that I have forgotten it. Is there any way to bypass it so it would let me enter my gmail password like in 2.1?
Pls help.
I have also forgotten my phone lock once and i have tried several ways to unlock it to no avail...
In the end i have done this to reset it...
1) Put the phone into recovery mode (off the phone and press the volume down and power key)
2) Choose recovery and when the phone with triangle comes up press the volume up and power key again to go the android system recovery
3) Wipe data/ factory reset and choose yes -- to delete all user data
4) Be warned that u will lose all ur settings and apps
Then reboot ur system and wait for it to set up.. U will then able unlock the phone as per normal...
Hope this will help u...

Phone locked with pattern lock

Hey Friends !
My friend messed up with pattern lock of HTC DESIRE and tried many wrong pattern and now phone locked and asking gmail password to unlock, unfortunately he forgot his gmail password since no longer using gmail.
Please help any solution for this to unlock phone ?
Thanks in advance !
Sorry, if already there is related thread.
Probably the only way he can do this without losing his data is to go to gmail and use the can't access your account link to retrieve his password. Otherwise you'll have to factory reset the phone. There may be other ways which i am unsure though.
On the unlock screen, attempt to enter your unlock pattern five times. When prompted to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen. Tap the Forgot Pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in. You are then prompted to create a new screen unlock pattern. If you no longer want to use a screen unlock pattern to secure your phone, tap Cancel.
I know u dont remember the account but maybe theres some other option there.

Try nandroid backup your phone and see if you can extract the data out. For recovery, turn the phone off, press Vol down while pressing the power button and press volume button to point recovery and confirm with power button.

You can also delete the gesture.key to remove the pattern lock via adb.
If USB debugging is enabled :
Code:
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
If not, go on recovery, mount all and delete gesture.key with adb !
Or crack it http://forensics.spreitzenbarth.de/2012/02/28/cracking-the-pattern-lock-on-android/ a bit difficult.

[Q] Cannot flash stock rom

Hi. I have a problem with Touch Pro 2. There is stock rom, never updated. But system is behaving very bad. Even touch works only when it wants (maybe physical damage, but I want to have new WM). But installation stops at 1% and phone reboots. Problem is that I have set a password on WM. There is a problem with touch in menu, so I can't remove it. May that be the problem that this secure makes flashing even stock roms impossible? I have no free SD, so only flash via RUU.

Have you tried a hard reset? I believe it's called "Clear Storage" from settings.
Or hold talk/send + power + vol down while the device is OFF.
I can't clear storage because touch is broken in menu. That's why I want to reinstall it.

Then do my other suggestion...
But it doesn't work. It boots into bootloader. Does it work for you?

3. Release the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to restore the operating system to the factory default configuration, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restore the factory default configuration and remove any operator customization, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
