Hi guys, I've found an HTC Wildfire S this morning at the train station. IT has locked SIM and locked Screen. Tried to look in the SD card but there'snothing useful.
Debug USB is not enabled so I can't navigate the system folders to find any clue. What do you suggest to help me find the owner out?
Why didn't you just hand it over to the police?

That's the last option. I trust more myself
No, the reason is that is much easyer for the owner if I can directly call him. And also often the loss of a low budget device is not reported to the police, so the owner will never find it.
Just some months ago I forgot my phone on a train and a guy called with it my mum and I was ablo to retrieve it in a couple of days!
try installing the sim card to other phone and see if it works than just wait for the owner to call on that number...
Or
you can make a nandroid backup and extract that backup using your pc find the social apps like facebook or tweeter and you will find the account info for the owner and you can send the message to that account that you have found the phone or whatever you want to send...

Take it to the carrier store. They will contact them and i think they might even give reward or something. I believe carriers used to.

You should be able to see what the network is from the SIM - I'd contact them really. Whoever lost the phone is going ot have to contact them so would be able to get the phone back that way. You could also leave a note with your contact details at the lost property at the train station.
Then contact the service provider of the phone. They will have a record of the device serial number and IMEI, and will know the owner of the phone.
Edit: too slow

The SIM is locked, so it's no use.

Power off the device, remove and replace the battery, boot into hboot by pressing volume- and power, --wait-- use volume keys to select recovery. You should now be able to use adb stuff even though usb debugging is disabled. I'm not sure, but it's worth a try. I still think the best option is to return the phone to the carrier.
I think if i lost my phone id be a little upset at someone going so far as a nandroid of my stuff even if trying to return to me. Id just take it to carrier. It's a guarantee it gets to the person. They usually have an email or alternate contact for the person.
There will be a serial no on the Sim Card, so that the carrier people will easily identify the owner. (Same thing for the phone also)
**Much simple**.
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.

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.

Anyone know how I add buddy number please

Search the forum, there are methods with a bump'd image. You can also pay $5 for an unlock code which is what I did. Good luck

Bump is for a bootloader unlock, not for a sim unlock. But you can find it here (ONLY USE WITH KITKAT).
Just contact the carrier via their support site, open a chat session and request an unlock code. There's no charge, and you'll receive it during the session. You could also try the Mobile Device Unlock app if on T-Mobile...
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011
Again, if on T-mobile these are the unlock requirements
Unlock your mobile wireless device

Same problem
Hey guys, I'm having the same problem
I own a D855 phone bought at SFR (in France), I'm about to change of carrier but SFR made a mistake when they created my unlock code, so now they are contacting LG to have a new code, but it'll be too long... (up to 4 weeks)
I'm sure there might be a way to unlock a network without to have to pay, right ? Don't know, maybe a file to edit or replace or something like that ?
My carrier will be automatically changed in about 2 days, and I wont be able to use my carrier services network anymore in 2 days if my phone/network isn't unlocked.... So no more texts, no more calls, ...
I'm using Fulmics ROM & last Xceed kernel
Thanks
UPDATE : I bought an unlock code on https://www.freeunlocks.com but they gave me the same code that my carrier gave me. This code doesn't work...
I really need help, any way to unlock my phone and use it with my new carrier please....
So, basically I bought a broken Nexus 5x off ebay with the bootloop problem and I fixed it up but the last owner left their passcode and stuff on it so I reset it in Recovery mode but now it's saying that I need the last owners google account to use it. If you could give me some help on A. How to get past it or B. Find out the previous owners email so I can email them and maybe get them to login or something. I just don't want my time fixing the bootloop problem to be wasted if I can't resell it or use it myself. Thanks, Pengus009
You need to google bypass to use the phone.
