I am just asking this for informational purpose, is it possible to bypass the unlock pattern of android by any means. OK the real thing is that my frnd challenged me that it can't be bypassed by any means. He's kind a bigger noob than me in these kind of things. I know a way of formating all data thru recovery but by that way all data is gone. So is there any other way

I'd assume you want to run something along the lines of:
Code:
adb shell
This will bring up a Linux shell for the device...
Code:
$ ps aux
This lists all running processes (don't type the $)
Code:
$ pkill [process]
This will kill the process if you replace [process] with the process name for the lockscreen process...
A few issues that you will probably have are:
adb might not be enabled on the device if he doesn't do any dev stuff - it needs to be turned on in Developer Options...
The lockscreen process is probably going to be run by root (oe), so you might not be able to kill it or even see that its running with the above commands, instead you need to run
Code:
$ su
before trying the above commands, however, the phone probably needs to be already rooted and might require user input to give permissions for this, unless the option for root over adb is enabled in Developer Options aswell.
However, if you were really desperate, you could probably figure out a root method - basically use the commands in the "root.zip" flashable package, in order to root the phone over adb, but you could push a superuser app which gave permission by default - by changing the source of the one you normally install - I'm pretty sure its open source... then you could run the commands fine, however, there is a risk of bricking the device if you do something wrong.
Also, the best way to work out which process is the lockscreen is to run the command without lockscreen enabled and then with it enabled, and find the difference... that is, of course, if its not obvious.
All that said, the lockscreen process might be part of the system ui or something, so you'd have to reset the lockscreen settings, by overwriting the settings file for the phone (but all the data would be kept on there), then restarting the phone or killing the process & starting it again....
Anyway, hope some of this helps!

Thanks dude, very much. These commands were of great knowledge, I was able to list down all processes but unable to find the one of lockscreen, as there were many processes, may be this is because I am on custom rom. Thanks again.

What is the simplest way to send commands to my phone (HTC Hero CDMA Sprint) through my computer (Mac OS)?
I haven't explored Android SDK yet. I rooted my phone through Terminal and bash_profile file. I'm interested in:
- how to push .apk's to the device
- how to install a recovery image if my phone can't reboot and there is not a recovery image present
Thanks!
Android sdk is the easiest

What I do is use terminal and cd to the Android sdk/tools folder. After that use the ./adb commands, which there are several tutorials for and own your phone. Hope this is clear, doing it on my phone

Sweet. Thanks. I've searched the Android SDK site and it seems that I need other software or plunging such as Eclipse and Java. I'm not ruling these out eventually but know I'm not ready to get in this deep yet to start developing apps or customizing roms. Also, after a Google search all the queries came back with options for rooting your device which I've already done. If there's a good easy tutorial, would you mind posting a link?

Just download the 2.1 SDK, cd to Android/SDK/tools, and use ./adb, I think it can tell you some commands too.
I made an app to put my phone in recovery using ./adb so I wouldn't need to go through the trouble everytime, I just go to spotlight, type "recovery", and it puts it into recovery.
I might make an app/interface for Mac OS later for ADB commands (recovery, push files, etc)

Don't hold your breath though, I have been working a lot, but I might make it in the next few weeks.
The only main problem is that I'm having trouble getting variables to run in the shell script. I think it might be possible with Automator (or AppleScript), but I will keep trying

DISABLE OTA UPDATES!!!!
To disable OTA updates that will patch this exploit, (after rooting and booted after creating a nandroid backup) run the following commands from Command Prompt.
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Code:
mv /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.bak
After doing this, the OTA updates WILL still download, BUT they will not pass signature checks to flash because of the code you just entered.
Did you do this when you rooted your phone? ^^

I've never used an app to root my phone, I followed a guide and did it right the first time. Here is the guide thread. What is the wireless ADB app you're using? Try terminal emulator with the commands, or take 15 min and un-root your phone, then re-root using this guide, that may solve the other issue you're having with the wigets and icons being odd. Let me know how this works for you.

Hello Everyone,
This is Just a small and easy mod/guide for all those who want Default Android Lockscreen and like me hate the HTC slide down Lockscreen:
Usual Warning : I am not responsible if by doing the steps below ::
You brick your phone (Highly unlikely if you follow only given steps).
Your GF starts loving your phone and wants it.
Your GF gets pregnant. Its you who did it .. well hopefully
Let's not delete your lockscreen just keep it in case you want it back. yeah yeah i am all for safety just like my rom.
(Always be safe)
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Connect your phone and use ROM manager to reboot into recovery alternatively you can disconnect your phone reboot into recovery (vol down+power) and then connect your cable when you can see the green text.
Select partition menu or mount ** (dont remember the option its mount something something) depending on your recovery version and Mount system
Now i hope you know how to use adb. (Download and install android sdk)
Open command prompt (cd "path to android-sdk-windows/tools" without quotes) on my pc for example it is
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
If you're on LINUX i am sure you know what to do.next all instructions are same:for Windows and Linux
Run following commands
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
Now you will get a nice transparent default android lockscreen.
In case you want your stock HTC lockscreen back do this
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.bak HtcLockScreen.apk
exit
I have tried this with SUnAaBh ROM and it works flawlessly and ideally should work with every ROM including those not meant for HTC Wildfire.
The suggestion in the next post i.e post No.2 will cause your framework to change i.e your Theme and look of icons on notification bar, dropdown bar, battery icon etc SO to Preserve your framework just INSTALL THIS FILE..its same from attachment.
Hit Thanks if it helped.
This doesnt fix the Alarm clock bug that appears when removing the HTC lockscreen.
This does:

Using it on Wildpuzzle 0.1 with no problems.
Will using this work:
- If you set a alarm ( for waking up or something ), does it work then?
- If you start Angry Birds, to make it working I must power off my screen, go to lockscreen and unlock it. And then I could play. Does this work too with this lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!

I've tried this a minute ago! And it's really simple.
1. Download the android-sdk-windows folder and place it anywhere
2. start cmd.exe ( open it via start > cmd.exe )
2. Enter: cd: C:\whatever\whatever\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
3. enter: adb.exe
4. then enter the things from the first page ( the adb commands )
5. unmount system ( ! ) on phone
6. reboot phone.
And you got it! I really don't ever used adb! So it's really simple with instructions. Maybe you could include my instructions?
can somebody show screenshot with default screen lock and htc? because i dont understand know about what are you talking. I had one screen lock since i bought mob with 2.1 android and know i have other one with 2.2. / 2.3 android. I nothing changed, nothing deleted and i like it.

It's Android Debug Bridge. Basically, it's a command line interface from your PC to your phone. Think of a terminal emulator that you run on the phone itself. ADB is pretty much the same, but from a PC. It is part of Android SDK. You can also find it included in many installation packages posted here on XDA, e.g. CWM recovery. There is an executable and a couple of DLLs.

If you got your phone rooted or want to test it run adb.exe shell the type su and hit enter. If the prompt change from $ to # you have root access

What is likely to be the problem if it says SU permission denied?
If you are on stock, that means that you have no root access. If you have cm10 or cm10.1 you have to enable adb root access somewhere in the settings. I am sorry but I can not tell you at the moment where to enable it because I am on stock right now.

I'm rooted and am trying to mount the system to remove bloatware apps... However everytime Titanium Backup removes it and I reboot it's still there...

System is protected: you can't modify it while the phone is booted. You'll have to make a zip or whatever to delete it in recovery.
You have to be kidding me...
I've spent all day long trying to root this bastard phone and that didn't work then I managed it and now I can't disable, remove any apps ?

The recovery flashed but wouldnt boot , managed to get round it when i discovered POB with his superboot Thank god for the desire C
Then i realised that i couldnt flash anything because I manged to install 6.0.2.8 as a boot img, and 6.0.3.0 as a proper recovery.
Then i didnt have any files on the device to flash boohoo so i managed to get ADB sideload working through the AIO One Toolkit... And managed to flash AHRD finally getting a working device,
As you see Im a seasoned vet at these things but the HTC One has been the first device that has stumped me....
----------------------
The apps issue is not unkwown for HTC however they havent done this for a while.... Back with the G2 they did exactly the same thing and yes ive frozen them but there should be away to remove system apps for us through root.... But i cant remember how, Throwing it into ADB Shell and requesting SU along with a Remount works fine but still would like to remove the apps.
Im also looking for someone with a locked phone... (Sim Locked) i have a theory and it worked on the Desire C Anyone wanna help?

Delete the apps with titanium and power off the phone. Don't do a restart.
Already tried that ^_^
You need to flash a custom kernel with a modified ramdisk to disable system protection Without doing that you're like deleting an app on windows with deepfreeze on it
Is that the only solution?
There are so many bloated useless and intrusive (cr)apps on this phone it's unbelievable.
Other solution is boot in recovery and delete it there. Either thru adb while in recovery mode, flashable zip or through file manager(if you're using TWRP). Other than that nope
Hmmm I'm thinking adb through recovery here but how do I got about doing this?

the joys of a s-on devices
read up on adb commands...
or use the zip I attached and edit line 18 in this format with the apps you want to get rid of, use a file explorer to get the proper names.
make a backup first in case you mess up something
Code:
delete("/system/app/xxxxx.apk", "/system/app/xxxx.odex", "/data/app/xxxxx.apk");
The best way to remove apps in recovery is through adb:
Code:
adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/abc.apk
the simple way is ROM CLEANER, but isn't available yet for the One.

I dont have a One, and dont plan on having one (ever, thanks to this thread! I think I'll stick to Sony, they have instructions to unlocking bootloader on their official website)
BUT, if the system is locked, it should be locked trough ADB too, so I guess what I'd try is install busybox, custom recovery, go into recovery, connected it to the PC (or a mac, but since we're on no-apple forum, I'll assume PC), mounting system there and doing your thing.
You can install busybox and custom recovery right?
Edit: never mind, I should really learn to read. Sometimes I think I'm dyslexic a little, just for words, not letters.
I did not see the 'recovery' part mentioned.
Anywho, mounting system is what you forgot, so at least I said something helpful

the joys of a s-on devices
read up on adb commands...
or use the zip I attached and edit line 18 in this format with the apps you want to get rid of, use a file explorer to get the proper names.
make a backup first in case you mess up something
Code:
delete("/system/app/xxxxx.apk", "/system/app/xxxx.odex", "/data/app/xxxxx.apk");

The best way to remove apps in recovery is through adb:
Code:
adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/abc.apk

I dont have a One, and dont plan on having one (ever, thanks to this thread! I think I'll stick to Sony, they have instructions to unlocking bootloader on their official website)
BUT, if the system is locked, it should be locked trough ADB too, so I guess what I'd try is install busybox, custom recovery, go into recovery, connected it to the PC (or a mac, but since we're on no-apple forum, I'll assume PC), mounting system there and doing your thing.

All Wonderful Ideas folks, however i had a go at this last night, it was a fricking nightmare even mounting ADB through recovery
