Hi guy. A friend brought his Galaxy asking if I can unlock the screen cause someone used a wrong pattern many times and now the system is asking for an email account. the problem is he has no data plan.
I tried to do it using wifi, but I can't connect the phone cause never ask me for a connection password ... any Idea how I can unlock the screen???
You can remove security from your wifi to be connected anytime and then use his phone and then add the wifi security again.
Alright try this if USB Debugging is enabled.. connect to computer and adb shell into the device. So...
- Su
- rm /data/system/gesture.key
- rm /data/system/password.key
- reboot

thanks for your reply... but wifi connection is at the office, so I cannot
As I think usb debugging is not checked I decided to return his phone back... may him fight his own battle
install a ressurrection edition via ODIN. this should work
0. Do a nandroid from current recovery, if applicable/available.
1. boot into recovery and try adb from there. if not continue...
2. flash devil kernel via Odin with no wipes.
3. boot into recovery and use the built in Aroma file manager to delete i files i told you about.
4. Then reflash the rom he was on to remove kernel.
You may lose his data, so be aware, and dont be mad at me if you do!
Also when you remove the lock, the pattern will still be present, but ANY random pattern will unlock it,.

Doesn't seem to want to temp root my phone. Tried with and without restart numerous times. The phone is rooted, and adb is installed correctly (or at the very least it's always done what I've wanted it to) but the batch times out when checking for temporary root every time. Oh well it was worth a shot.
I think "usb debugging" is not enabled on your phone.
Go to settings, applications, developement and enable usb debugging.

No, USB debugging definitely was on. I always make sure it is. Otherwise straight ADB wouldn't work properly like I mentioned it always has for me
Besides, it tells you in the notifications bar if it's on whenever you plug in, and it's definitely on.
Maybe later I'll open up the batch and try the commands by hand from ADB.

Going through and doing it by hand. Pushing the files now. The line:
"%adb% -d push %gps% /system/etc"
makes total sense, in that it's pushing the gps.conf file to the folder /system/etc
but the lines following it:
"%adb% -d push %f1% /system/csc/WND/system/CSCFiles.txt"
and so on, they seem to be trying to push the txt file to a txt file already on the device. The shell tells me that "/system/csc/WND/system/CSCFiles.txt" isn't a valid file or directory.
There don't seem to be any lines that make directories /system/csc/WND/system/{files}
Should I assume that's still the intended destination and not an error? Go ahead and put some mkdir lines into busy box?
EDIT: DONE. It rebooted, installed packages, etc. Formatted data and cache when it did, so booting was like first boot (took a while, showed the general 'new rom' screens, etc.) Checking GPS now/soon.
Does it work on Mobilicity?
good work!
It should fix gps on mobilicity, i will add apn settings for mobilicity later.
On mobili u dont have to do *#06# or *#272 , just run the file and reboot.
giving me an error too
Just wanna be clear
I run the prog
Let it do its thing- exit
Then reboot?

Hello guys,
I have a big problem!
which is that my power button not work...
and I don't have any problem with it because I use trackball to unlock my phone .. and using (quick boot) for rebooting...
BUT,,, Yesterday I have change my ROM to (ICS) which is sdk version, and I know that...
the ICS url:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314781&page=7
whatever,,,, the wifi is not work ! the data(3G) is not work ! the Bluetooth is not work ! so how to enter the recovery mode to return my previous ROM ?!
Help me please!
Any help plzzzzz
just use quick boot but select either recovery or bootloader depending on which option you need
ICS is new enough that I don't know if this will work, but in Gingerbread and lower, you can use adb to do it.
Make sure Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging Mode is enabled. Then go to the computer type
Code:
adb reboot recovery

This is a long and hard procedure, but should work if you are not able to use adb or if you don't find a better solution. You will have to power on your device using the battery trick one time or two:
Pull out the battery.
Copy the passimg.zip to the root of your sdcard.
Power on the n1 with the battery trick. You have to keep the vol- button pressed while booting.
Install the passimg file
Root your phone (oneclickroot is fine).
Reboot with adb or with battery trick.
Install quickboot and rommanager
Install recovery.
Use quickboot to enter in recovery and restore your backup.
Hope this helps

-Upgrade to 2.2 Froyo
-look for a Z4Root QR Code
-Scan the Z4Root QR code using Google Goggles or w/e
-Install it using astro or a file manager app
-look for Z4root tutorials on youtube

-Profit
You don't need the computer at all but for looking up tutorials IF you are confused that is.
You need to install the phone drivers on your PC, than you can use oneclickroot. Reboot, install quickboot, recovery and you are done ;-)

I have Imilika's AOSP ICS ROM V6,
I changed the buid.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=213
for tablet mode. after I reboot, my GNote is not booting. I cannot go to recovery mode or download mode.
Please help. I don't know what to do
Got it
OK, I was really sad about what happens to my phone, but finally I managed to fix it .
As I told you, my phone was not booting to recovery or download modes (key combinations not worked). finally I try to connect to PC via USB and luckily my PC could detect my phone . So i realized that the problem is the display not coming but phone is halfway booted.
So, I tried to change my build.prop via adb but failed due to cannot grant root permission (becoz display is off).
Finally I issue a adb commad to reboot in recovery mode.
"adb reboot recovery"
yeah, that command directly take me to the CWM recovery. then I flash AOSP v6 again.
Now, my phone is working again.
P.S. I just note this down for others if they get same problem future !
I have question.. I don't understand the term adb. What that actually and why need that? I did so many flashing so far and I didn't use this adb yet!

If you don't know what ADB is, you probably shouldn't be flashing so regularly. Anyway, ADB stands for "Android Debug Bridge" and it is a protocol for device control, development, and debugging.

adb is a connection type. we can run shell commands (in the phone), file transfer via adb by using our PC. for that we should have to enable usb debug mode in our mobile.
Actually you might used adb, when you root your phone in the first place . If you have CF-Root zip file, just extract it. you will see a folder called "files", in there you can see adb.exe .
If you need test run,
connect phone via USB(make sure you've enabled USB debug), open command prompt, navigate to that "files" directory.
run "adb shell ls" (to run "ls" command in phone)
run "adb push <anyfile in the PC> /system/sdcard/" (copy files from PC to sdcard)
like that
OK now I got it.. But why do we need to push some file like this when we are able to transfer files like mass storage??? Or what else can be done??? Sorry for the basic questions..

On the device. Terminal emulator can now be used in recovery!
Download the aroma file manager with the terminal that works in recovery off the phone go here.
Then boot into recovery, mount USB storage to your pc,
Transfer the zip file to your phone, and then flash it from recovery.
It will open into a file manager. I believe you go to settings, start terminal. (refer to thread). Then do the commands that I listed above. Sucess
Hello, I am very new to this forum. I searched everywhere but couldn't find an answer to my problem. I really appreciate it if you can help me as I am a total noob in android.
Previously my power button was a little buggy, it works on and off, and I solved it by wiping the partition cache in stock recovery <e3>.
My power button completely stopped working today for no reason that I know off.
Out of frustration, I tried what I did last time by booting into recovery mode (using quickboot this time) but then to realise that I can't choose anything/ get out of the recovery mode.
Nothing works by removing the battery. When the battery is reinserted, it boots back into recovery.
My phone is rooted, non CWM. Has a bad eMMC chip with a susceptible kernel. (latest update from KiES, no custom ROMs)
I got this phone as a prize, so there's no warranty that comes with it.
What can I do now? I have heard of this ADB thing but I have no idea how it works. Does it help? If so, how?
Thank you.
Edit: Service centre fixed it. Turns out its a pretty complex issue.

you could try adb.. you need to first install adb .. its included in the android SDK package. eg http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241935
once installed.. boot into recovery... connect phone to pc.. go to the adb folder and run command prompt in there.
then use command
adb devices
<the output should show a device connected> if yes then
adb reboot

Hello, thank YOU very much! I got it to reboot properly and working. And I learnt a lot in the meantime.
Words cannot express my gratitude right now.
I have another question though, is it possible for me to wipe partition cache thru adb?
yes using adb shell, you will get the access to file system.
for this adb should run as root.
adb root
adb shell > this should give a # and not $
mount /cache
ls > this should list the files. check for cache folder
rm -r cache
same way dalvik cache (if you want)
cd data
ls > lists dalvik cache
rm -r dalvik-cache
adb reboot

Okay, so I tried to do what you suggested, and got stuck at adb root. This is what I got in return:
"Adbd root cannot run as root in production builds"
So what I did was to skip to the second step,
"adb shell"
This is what I got in return:
[email protected]:/ $
I entered the command "su", granted su access on my phone using supersu (got a pop-up) and got this:
[email protected]:/ #
Moving on, I entered "cache /mount" and it repeatedly failed to mount.
I read up a bit of it and it seems like its because my bootloader is not unlocked.
But given the fact that my power button is malfunctioned, I cannot unlock it by normal means. I gave some thought onto PhilZ safe kernel but then the fact that my phone is susceptible to brick if I unlock the bootloader (there will be a data wipe right?) makes me stuck at where I am now.
What are your recommendations?
Additional info on eMMC:
[email protected]:/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device # cat cid | cut -b 19,20
gives back: 19 (susceptible)
[email protected]:/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device # cat name hwrev fwrev manfid oemid date type
