I can't seem to set this thing up, had one and set it up fine after finnicking about with it, but it was more of a luck thing I guess... I smashed the other one during a mental episode. What can I do? I keep getting ADB unauthorized with the standalone ADB setup. If anyone could help please, I need this to remind me to take my medications.
Did you try a repair with Xperia Companion (http://support.sonymobile.com)
wasnt aware such an app existed, thank you, I will giveit a try.

Hi,
I can not recall my password; kinda silly but real...
I don't want to make a hard reset and loose my son's pictures at his graduation ceremony.
Any recommendation?
Youy should be able to hook the phone up to your cradle & then browse using activesync to transfer all your wanted files onto your PC before you hard reset. Even if you only manage to sync as a guest, not a peer, file browsing should still work from the PC
Thanks for your response..
When I get connected via cradle, I get a message like "this mobile device is password protected. In order to connect to the device, you must enter its password."
So, I can not browse.
I feel like I need to hack my own device..

There are only 4 digits.. maybe u can try all the combo.... :roll:
Earlier, it used to give a message telling it was the wrong password, when I enter directly from the device.
Now, it does not give any response, just waits.. I have soft reset device each time or reseat it to cradle to reactive ActiveSynch.
I wonder if it is blocked or not.. I might be trying hopelessly..
i'm facing the similar issue...
would a hard reset do the trick?
i think so.
you don't have nothing to loss.
same probelm
hey people,
i'm with the same problem i tried an alphanumeric password and now i cant get it right.. I tried to do the hard reset but i think i'm doing the soft reset. In the manual says to hold the power button and press reset. I did this millions times and stills asks for the device password!!
can anyone help me?
In case that this wont work is there anything i can do? developing it to the factory or something?
thx in advance..
Hey.... face the truth...
Hardreset it...
My Grandpa' told me long time ago....
"Isn't good to have all the eggs on the same basket"
Thanks Grandpa... i always record in two cameras, or imediatly synced my data for backup...
Oh yes... Skynight...
Does you have the original for BA manual? i mean maybe if you google a little or read the wiki pages can found how to perform a hardreset... or maybe i become a great guy and tell you where it is.... mmmm im hungry search please.
plz help me man..the manual says power and reset. i searched on forum and they said camera+power+reset would do it. when i do that way i only get a white screen with something written on it..I only had the pda for a couple of hours and it's my first pda, i'm kinda new in this "world".
can u tell me the right way to do it? In a electronic store it costs 50€ and i dont wanna pay that
thx

Hi
Have got a serious problem. In a nutshell I decided to upgrade my ROM using the Samsung website. Ran the updater - after getting to the stage ‘downloading file 2’ it asked me to manually soft reset the phone. So I did and nothing. By now it had reached the ‘downloading file 3’ stage however the updater then froze too. I looked at my phone and all that appeared is a black screen with picture of white phone in the middle and an overlapping solid yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside.
The phone now does not shut off/soft rest or anything. I even took battery out for five minutes but still same screen. The next problem is that I tried to run the updater again however it requires active sync and as the phone does not turn on it will not sync up.
Please can someone help with this? I am noob so please don’t suggest any soldering or hacking type methods but I can work my way round a set of clear instructions using basic software. I have spoke to Samsung who have suggested sending it to their engineer but will take two weeks just to give me a reply as to what’s wrong with it! Further if not covered I am screwed for repair costs and if covered it’s going to take ages and I need my phone back asap. As I used the Samsung website software there must be a way to solve this.
Please can all knowledgeable forum users reply as I have previously relied upon and used advice from this forum with much success. I would really appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance.
Sorry Samsung Omnia by the way
Welcome to forums
As this is an HTC devices forum only you won´t get too much atention, however in off topic there is a thread regarding samsung, perhaps there you can get more help.
Good luck,
Hi,
I suggest to ask on www.modaco.com forum, there many people have developed omina roms, so, for sure they know much more about this PDA.
Usually you should be able to enter in bootloader mode and flash a new rom but I don't know omnia. So, ask there and you'll find some answer.
HI Team,
I am very impressed by you work here.
I am unfortunately not a tech geek and I don't have much idea about phones troubleshooting. I need you all to try your best to help me.
I have a Xperia S Lt26i.It is already rooted as my brother who previously used it rooted it. The name of the root group is Tux Kernel (I see this when the phone restarts.)
Just two days ago my cousin was playing with the phone and he pressed the wrong pattern code for more than 20 times. My phone is not connected to 4g or wifi. I am unable to answer the secret question. I have my gmail configured on the device but it doesn't give access even though I enter the correct username and password. My brothers gmail was configured on it at the time of purchase(FYI)
No whatever I try it doesn't help me. If I connect the device to my PC. Sony Companion center doesn't recognize it. I have some very important notes on my phone under notes and I will be sacked from my job if I miss those notes. I am only the bread earner for my family.
I just want help to recover the notes on my device. Please let me know in detail the steps while you answer it will be of great help.
Forgot to inform you people that my usb debugging option is also disabled on my phone.
I am even ready to pay for this service as this group is my only hope after 16 hours of internet search.
GOD bless you please help me resolve my problem.

Yes I have tried those steps. That steps are for phones which are originally having the sony software. However, I have a rooted phone and it never gets detected if I connect to sony PC companion.

If You are able to receive calls, are You not able to access the phone while being in call? This might be worth a try!

why dont u try fresh install thru flash tool
Hi everyone
This is my first post here and a sad one at present.
i restored my G3 back to stock last night and all seemed to go well but now my phone says McaFee mobile security your device is locked and is asking for a pin to unlock it.
i don't have this pin and i don't have a clue how to get it, i purchased the phone as a used mobile and it was all good until i did the root back to stock because lollipop was causing some serious lag issues.
can anyone please help me with a way around this if possible
big thanks in advance
Contact the person who sold you the phone. He entered the PIN. McAfee thinks the phone is stolen now.
You can try flashing stock firmware (kdz) file with CSE flash. It could help

Thanks for the reply
I contacted the seller and it seems the phone is infact 3rd hand if not more and basically he does not have the pin
i did the firmware flash and thats why I'm in the pickle now as the phone knows its been factory reset and MacaFee kicks in for security, the sellers not interested as he sold me the phone working which it was but lollipop was just killing the phone when i updated it and after trying to get back to kitkat I'm in brick land
If anyone else has a suggestion or can help then please do get in touch if possible
Thank you
In fact the previous owner set up an account here: McAffee Mobile Security.
Contact someone there and explain your situation.
I will contact McAfee for sure and see if they can help me but I do believe the answer I will receive will be can't help and I come to this conclusion through general security measure because I'm pretty sure anyone could steel a phone and call them up asking for the unlock code but let's see what they say.
If anyone has had this happen and have found a way around the issue please do send me a private message if you don't wish to publish it as I am stuck big time at present
Cheers
I have just got off the phone with McAfee customer support here in the UK and well to be blunt I'm up that creek without a paddle
Nothing they can do for me because even though the software licence is valid and I have the original owners email address that confirms this because I don't have a prof of purchase for the phone like a receipt or mobile number for the original owner they can not help me I'm anyway
All they said I can do is to keep emailing the owner with this email address and hope for a reply and if I get one enter the pin and it will unlock
So people be very careful if you don't have the pin for your phone as it looks like I have just lost £240 and now have a brick to look at
Again if any of you wonderfully cleaver people know of a fix please do help me out if possible
Thanks
Joe

have you tried any diff roms or cyanogen mod? maybe a diff software wont have the mcafee on like cyanogen mod
No I haven't tried to put any other software on because I can no longer access download mode as the McAfee has a kill switch and won't let me do anything from what I can see.
All I can do it switch on my device I can't even get into setting properly because the McAfee block kicks in to quickly and I've tried probably 20 odd times
If anyone can explain a way for me to flash another operating system onto my handset please get in touch as I will try anything rather than have a dead phone and e out of pocket
Cheers
Take it some private repair shop. They will solve your issue.

Help please, I did a hard reset on my S6. I knew I would lose pictures and stuff but what I forgot was I didn't get them backed up first as my macbook and android don't communicate and my gateway doesn't work so no windows pc. I was locked out of my phone and only getting to try to enter my pin once an hour and after all day of doing this I was frustrated and did a hard reset, as soon as I started I could have kicked myself :crying: because my phone was the only place that I had pics, video and audio recordings ......of my brother, his voicemail before he passed away and pics before he passed away and of his funeral. I have never rooted. I tried kingoroot, kingroot and neither will root. Can someone help me get my files back please? Thank you.
First off, please accept my condolences on the death of your brother. I am so sorry for you loss.
I have never used it,but this might work for you: http://www.jihosoft.com/recover-data/recover-data-after-factory-reset.html
