Hey everybody. I have googled a lot now but have not found an answer to my issue. I got an old phone from the company I work for to use as a personal phone for my child. The issue is that the phone was not resetted properly after taking it away from an employee and now when I want to set it up for my daughter there is a google message: "This phone was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device". The issue is that the phone has been stuck in a drawer for a few years and no one remembers even who it belonged to. I thought I had the right person and we tried logging it in and at some point it even seemed that it worked but later on I still get the same message. I have gotten an ok from the company to do what I want with the phone (root, hack etc) but I really do not know anymore even know how to start. Tried flashing twrp through odin and recovery, did not work, got some error 21 or smth.
Has anyone good info how to fix it?
Thank you so much!

Helly everybody,
The strangest thing: I installed the wifi improving htc update this morning on my stock rom DHD, which went successfully. Then I was viewing my emails at gmail and suddenly the phone locks. Apparently it is locked from htcsense.com and asking to enter pincode1 to onlock or call owner.
I remember i tried to lock it from the website a few weeks back but it didnt work. Perhaps this is fixed after the update and it remembered the phone must be locked. Or could it be that somebody hacked htcsence and locked my phone?
Now I wouldnt bother much about that but when I enter my pincode it says its wrong while i m 100% sure it s the right one! After 5 attempts I have to wait 300seconds and then the same thing.
Cold reboot didnt help; I cant unlock it from the website either. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Thanks on beforehand!
Its definitely a problem with HTC Sense. I'd give HTC a call and complain a bit and tell them to fix it immediately.
Hello I have searched the forum in hopes of someone having the same problem to no avail. I am on phone no 3 of the Verizon variant of the HTC One. My problem is that on all 3 phones I cannot connect to WiFi at all. It sees the networks it says connecting then stops and tries another 2 times and then says authentication error. I have tried 6 different WiFi networks both secured and unsecured at Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King, Library etc all with the same result. I want to like the phone very much and for 3 phones in a row to have this issue is a bit much. I am on SW version 1.10.605.10 and not sure if this has to do with it but it says hardware version 0000. I've even contacted HTC and after 30 min on the phone from trying factory reset, booting the phone into safe mode, and everything else no go. On a side note after everything the HTC rep did admit this is a known issue on a "limited" number of devices. Oh and and factory recovery is gone as well we couldnt get it to boot into it, the screen goes black then reboots itself. The phone is on stock 4.2.2 and has never been rooted, thank you in advance

If you can boot into your hboot, you could try to root it and flash a custom ROM to if it fixes it. If not, you could return to stock and send it back...
I had this issue happen earlier today while I was tinkering with the s-off exploit trying to get it to work. I was using the Stock Rooted Odexed rom when I first noticed I couldnt connect to my WiFi network. After installing Newts NOS v1.0.2 HTCOneVZW I have had no problems with connecting to and using my WiFi.
I'll give you all the info I can as this has all happened since last night.
Yesterday I was bored, and decided to Root my SGH-I747M [Virgin Mobile, runs off Bell I believe] I used to jailbreak my apple products all this time, my S3 is getting old so I figured heck why not. I was curious about all the Kit Kat hubbub lol.
I Rooted it successfully, then installed the CyanogenMod 4.4 Nightly Custom Rom onto my phone.
That was also successful minus two things that happened, I don't like some of the features & I lost cell service [NOT due to and EFS/IMEI issues]
Decided to downgrade and unroot as the only reason for rooting was to install Kit Kat.
Unfortunately trying to Unroot something went wrong, after pushing start in Odin and my phone froze in Download Mode and Odin failed.
After rebooting my phone I got the typical "Firmware upgrade encountered a problem" so I hooked up to Kies, entered my phone model and s/n and did a full Firmware recovery.
Still had no cell service, could make calls but no SMS.
Found a post that said to take out battery, take out SIM card, boot, then take battery out, replace SIM and reboot.
I believe I have full service back with no issues.
But after the Kies recovery, I have this constant screen on my phone as picutred in the attachment!
I can use my phone, I can touch anything/everything it doesn't block anything thats behind it, but that screen stays. It goes away if I need to go into settings but it comes back shortly. My phone is also still set as "custom" in the info so I'm assuming it's still Rooted???
Update: A friend of mine suggest doing another Kies recovery. So I'm waiting for that now.
And I'm not sure if it's still rooted, Went to settings>More>About Device>Status> And Device Status reads Official.
Alrighty another update incase anyone reads this and can either help or point me to help lol, I am searching forums/google like crazy trying everything.... I figured out that the screenshot is showing me factory mode is on.
Turned it off, after re-rooting and installing SU/Root Explorer.
So factory mode is off, now my only problem is Mobile Network: Disconnected despite Service State: In Service and all the other stats seemingly normal?
It seems I can make calls, but I can not use data or send sms/mms.
Hello Everyone. I've searched XDA and the net high and low trying to figure out what is going on here, but it has come time to post. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Bought my S3 from T-Mobile a few years ago, have installed a number of roms on it, but most recently updated to CM 10.2. I started having boot issues (phone would stop booting after a couple of restarts, not a sudden death syndrome phone, BTW). After using ODIN to load on root66-UVUEMJC (tmobile 4.3), and running into more issues, I ended up loading Stock 4.3 from Kies (yes, I realize this is a horrible mistake now).
That got me on my feet again, I used ODIN to install clockworkmod rom manager, then re-installed CM10.2. It was at this point where I noticed that I no longer had cellular network connectivity anymore. I've tried another t-mobile SIM in my phone to make sure it wasn't that, and it had the same problems:
On startup, my phone will connect to the cellular network and fill in all the fields under Status (including IMEI), but after a minute or so, I loose that and the device goes to "No Service". Nothing I've tried has been able to get this fixed. I have attempted to flash the latest modem as well with no luck.
As mentioned, any help would be greatly appreciated on what to look for / do to get this thing working so I don't have to drop a load on a new phone.
Thank you!
I need help knowing how to proceed with my daughter's tablet. I got her a used Note 8 from e-bay. The seller said they could not keep the sim card in. That was not a problem because we don't plan on using it with AT&T, and the price was right.
So the tablet comes and my daughter uses it for the afternoon with no problems. When I got home I was playing with it and put in an inactive sim card to see if it would stay in. It did, so I took it out and gave it back to my daughter. Now evey couple hours it gives me a message saying sim card added, restart your device to access the mobile network. If I pull down the settings menu it says no sim card. I cannot do anything though, so I am forced to restart. I cannot figure out what to do.
First I am not sure if I caused the problem by putting in the sim card for a minute or it was already there.
So I have tried a few things. The last thing I did was a data wipe, followed by clear cache, then I did a force stop on any at&t app. We still get the message.
I tried to update android as it is running 4.1.2 But is says it is up to date.
While trying to figure out what to do I discovered it is apparently rooted. I noticed it had SuperSU v1.80 installed. To check root I installed root checker from google play store. It says root access is verified. So I assume that is why I cannot update android.
Anyone else have this problem? I searched and couldn't find any solutions.
Any ideas on solving it?
Currently I am debating undoing root and seeing if I can update over the air. And hopefully fix the problem. Or updating with a custom rom to try to fix it. But I am not sure how to do that. It has been a really long time since I rooted anything.
I appreciate any help. Thank you, Sherry
When the message comes up I cannot do anything but access the settings drag down menu. It still says no sim card, but the message on the home page says there is and to restart. Must restart device. So after I restarted it I clicked on the notification that says no sim card for app info. It says it is system UI. At first I was hesitant to disable it, but finally gave it a try. It worked. No more sim card messages forcing me to restart. And so far everything works properly except for the background image. It is just a black screen. Everything else seems to function properly. Good enough for now I guess.
