My work uses the RSA token app to connect to the VPN. For security reasons, the program uses the phones device ID. I ran into an issue where I had to relock and flash the RUU. This changed the device ID and I had to have our IT guy resend the Token. If I flash a rom, will this change the device id again? I don't want to keep bugging our IT guy.

Depends on what is being used as a Device ID. If we are talking about the IMEI then no it will not change or the serial. Now I do not think this is what is being used and upon some research
It's known to be null sometimes, it's documented as "can change upon factory reset". Use at your own risk, and it can be easily changed on a rooted phone.
So yes when you flash a ROM or even factory reset that ID will be lost. However you can find out what it is and then change it on the new ROM :highfive:

Ok, thanks. I think I read the same thing somewhere, but I wasn't sure if the Android ID and the Device ID was the same thing. After a little more digging, I think it is. I found an app called Change Android ID *Root which will allow me to backup and restore the Device ID. It's only a Dollar, but maybe my work will let me expense it

Well, I just had one of those moments of "don't trust everything you read on the internet". It turns out they are not the same. I downloaded the app and the Android id is 16 digit hex. The device ID I sent to the IT guy is 24 digits. I guess it will be trial and error nandroid-->flash rom->restore RSA->recover if I have issues.
Digging up an old thread, but did you ever get a fix for this? I'm having a similar issue. Thanks

hi I hope this is the right place for this but I updated my rom to congnitions 2.2 froyo beta 5.5 and now I cant log into my storm 8 accounts it keep telling me that my user id and password are incorrect. I emailed storm 8 and they told me they are aware of the problem and are working on it. I tried that a week ago but they have not given me a response or an answer. So i thought maybe someone here would know more info or even better know how to fix it. I'm soooooo addicted to imobsters I think i need to go to rehab. lol thanks to anyone with any info.

I think it has to do with the device ID of the Froyo ROM...Whoever flashes it ends up with the same device ID...DG said there is nothing he can do about it till the Final version is released from Samsung...
I have been working with the higherup techs over there and the issue will not be fixed until the official froyo is released, mainly becasue the issue is not with Storm8 but with our phones. The leaked version of froyo and all of the roms since have the same device ID (which is why your username and passwords do not work); this usually happens with custom roms.
Since Storm8's apps use your device ID to log in and since we all have the same ID, it basically crashes. So unles you flash back to JH7 and somehow extravt your deice ID and import it to Froyo, we are stuck until the official update.
However I am working on doing just that, if it works, I'll post how.
[edit]
Ok I found the solution and it works (same time the other guy in the cog thread did). You have to change you device ID.
WARNING!!! I do not know what other isues this may cause like with market or other apps; so try this at your own risk. If a Dev with more experence with this sees an issue, please post and I'll take this info down. Doing the following requires that your phone is rooted and you have SQlite3 installed.
Go back to JH7 as the device id works there (verify by loading one of the storm 8 apps)
You have to go back to get the correct DeviceID
install this app from Market: http://bubiloop.com/android-tools-device-id
Use DeviceID to get your correct device id, this is the one that works
Reinstall or restore back to froyo
Install DeviceID on Froyo and verify that your ID is now different/wrong
Backup your /dbdata/databases /com.android.providers.settings /settings.db file
Now to change your device id you need to type the following in either adb or connectbot
(note when using SQLite, enter “.help” for instructions and SQL statements always end with a “;”)
su
cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> insert into secure (’name’, ‘value’ ) values (’android_id’,'what-ever-your-device-id-was-before’);
sqlite> .exit
Reboot
You can verify it changed by running DeviceID again, or just firing up one of the games.

It is not Device_ID that is the issue, it is Android_ID. Download Android ID Changer from market andf just change some of the numbers and letters (only use a-f). Or flash back to a 2.1 rom, use Android ID Changer from market to backup your correct ID and then go back and restore it.
Your ID should contain both numbers and letters android ID changer is what I use.

Hi guys, i got a Nexus 6, bought to a friend, but i did a factory reset and now is asking me for the last account used in the device, i ask to my friend and dont know (the phone its a gift from his father). Android 5.1 and there is no way to know wich account were used in the device.
Please someone can help, the bootloader is locked, cant unlock because "android debbuging" is off. Can i flash a special stock images or something?? or what can i do to pass this vrification?
thanks.
@fernando2610
You have to enter the username and password for the last person who used the device. There is no way around this. If you can't get that information, then this device is useless.
If bootloader is locked you're Sol!

No offense to you but let's hope not. It is a theft deterrent
have him ask his father. his father would know his own username and password. if his farher doesnt know, then id say that there's something fishy going on with that phone..
Thanks again. I ll ask his father, maybe he can talk with Google to solve this.

I still don't see the problem. On every PC ' father ' can login to his google account. And when he has forgotten his password there is a password recovery protocol.

If the phone belonged to the father, there is no problem
Has he changed his password lately? I think you have to wait awhile correct me if I'm.wrong
if he resets his password for you because he doesnt know it you will have to wait 72 hours i believe before you can even log into that phone.

I understood from the OP that the father didn't even remember his password. So he won't be able to reset it. Catch 22.

Not sure on that. Though if you have an unlocked bootloader, the device protection is useless anyway as you can just flash it back to stock and if you're rooted / modified, locking the bootloader is quite a dangerous thing to do (if you get in a bootloop and cannot get into custom recovery, with a locked bootloader, you're screwed).
Hi,
I'm a starter developer and tested my rom. It had a binary script issue, due that the rom wasnt installed. As all of us may know, before installing rom, you should backup and wipe data, right? So, I backuped system, cache, etc. Wiped and tried the rom, it didnt install as I stated before. So I went to my computer and searched for the mistake. I turned the phone off, because I was away for some time and I thought I could boot into recovery later. So, as I found the mistake and grabbed the phone to go to recovery, it didnt get there. Got to that fastboot&rescue mode. It showed, that the bootloader was locked. But how? I have no idea. So, I can only get to the fastboot&rescue mode. Once I got all the information needed to get a new unlock code, it told me "The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days". Putting the dload folder on sd card doesnt work aswell. Any other fixes? Please help! I need to get the device running. Thanks!
Have a great day!

Anyone know where I could get a new product id? The current one I generated with a tool, using Y300C model. But that isnt legit, or what?

Product ID is generated using 2 strings, phone model and IMEI, so it shouldn't be valid for other model name. PM me your IMEI/model and i will generate it for you.
The battery is dead now aswell.. Please help! What to do?
Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the unlock page. After a bunch of searches, I just have more questiions.
1) It keeps saying 'Please input correct name'.
I can log into the forums - my username is wanfr01.
I'm fairly sure that's the name I'm supposed to use on the unlock application page.
Any idea what the problem is?
2) Is there a place to e-mail/post for an unlock request if the main unlock page isn't working?
3) Anything in particular I should give as a reason, or shouldn't give? Can I just say I want to install TWRP to make backups? (which is basically true)
- Frank
Are you sure your phone is locked?
go here to verify it isn't locked first http://en.miui.com/thread-279195-1-1.html
I thought mine was locked but someone mentioned the phones come unlocked if you buy from a retailer so YMMV.
Try using your phone # (11231234567) then on the left of it change the number to 1 if you're in the USA or your country code and delete the 1. Or, use your name without any spaces. Another trick is to login to the forums and then go to the unlock site. http://en.miui.com/unlock/

By your numbers...
1) I was also confused by that field for name. Tried my name and tried Mi Mix ... don't recall which worked but just tired a few times and it eventually worked. It may be one of those page has the refresh on any 'mistake' things so try that.
2) Xiaomi mentions where to post if you don't get the code in X days, if it keeps acting up for you try that.
3) I put 'so I can root phone and customize to my liking' and was approved. No idea if there is a check on this.

Actually, I don't have the phone yet. It's on the way.
I could have swore some people on xda got their unlock "permission" prior to receiving their phone.
Since it can take a bit to get the unlock permission, I thought I would get the ball rolling.
I guess I'm wrong - I'll just wait to get the phone. Hopefully it's unlocked already.
Thanks!

If your phone has a vendor installed ROM then it's unlocked. Did you select or was there an option to have Play Store installed for you by the vendor you bought it from.

I had problems with the name ended up just putting first name in and it worked, although not for mix.
I had kept my bootloader unlocked for flashing new ROMs but unfortunately i lost it on train and now i can understand that the theif can easily flash a new rom and so i can never retrive my device as far as i understood that i have to keep my bootloader locked but this means that i have to unlock and relock my bootloader each time i want to flash a new rom so this is very problematic for losing internal data too every time.
Also i don't have a job else i would have brought a new OP3T. I hope that in future OP can introduce some hardwire based tracking for lost devices , what do you people suggest?

I suggest that if the thief is able to flash a new ROM, he will be perfectly able to open the bootloader. So I recommend that you do not worry about having the bootloader open.
As for the tracking system, I think Google has already developed certain functions aimed at this use. When I have time I will investigate about this topic and update this post.
Please, be awere.

Try Google device manager. Thats the tracking tool you searching for. ?
not a big deal to reset FRP. Samsung and LG FRP takes only few minutes to be removed with z3x box. i think even stock rom have some bugs to bypass FRP. Best way is not to loose your phone.
It won't help you now, but take a screenshot of your imei, then back it up to your photos. If your phone is lost or stolen report it and depending on what country you live in, it will be black listed. Then it won't work on any carrier, no matter which rom is flashed.

Ya I know that I have already submitted FIR in police with the IMEI number but I believe these days they remove all the parts and sell the parts differently so very less chance in recovery
