In the above thread, does this method work with the stock sony Xperia T firmwares
please can you post your firmware version (stock only, no cm, no aokp or custom roms) and let me know
if it worked.
Basically I want to access my wifes phone and check her messages as she has been acting weird
I tried the service menu trick on her phone but it didn't work which means her phone has more up to date firmware i believe
EDIT found this

Just tried that for you, it didn't work; the Emergency dial screen wouldn't accept the *#*#73556673#*#* code.
The lock screen WAS disabled whilst the Demo was active but as pressing the power button to wake the screen was immediately rerunning the Demo I'm sure that would get noticed. (Xperia T firmware 9.1.A.1.141).
Might have time to test out the 2nd link you posted later.

1) Did the demo run?
2) Did you then press home button to go to the home screen?
3) Did you then bring up dialer and type in the demo code again to disable the demo?

In the video when the demo is running he taps it to bring up the home button, did this work on yours?
Thanks v much

1) The Demo ran when the phone was already unlocked and I typed in the code from the dialer - on first run it even prompts you that it will change the screen unlock password.
2) Yes pressing the home button went to the Home screen (at this point if you switch the screen off then back on the Demo reruns).
3) Yes I did.
The code doesn't seem to work at the Emergency Call screen on my Xperia T, or perhaps the phone he's using in the Video doesn't have the most current firmware.

It is possible you can test the zip file method?
I'm on my way to work now, I'll try the 2nd thread a little later. I'll have to try Method B in that thread because I don't currenty have CWM recovery on my phone which is required for Method A using the Zip file.

ahh ok, neither does her phone so that wont work.... never mind thanks for your help
Had a thought what if I flash an older version of firmware which has the service menu security hole?
Would just have simply plug her phone in, flash it, and then let it restart (wiping only cache and dalvik, if they are available in stock recovery)
So she won't lose any of her data and won't be any wiser?
hmmm....

I've tested a similar method on windows that worked on my T on JB.
all it needed was a
adb shell
su
rm /data/system/gesture.key

This of course has limitations, the device needs to be rooted and usb debugging must be enabled

Well I suspected that USB debugging would need to be enabled to use the B Method in that thread you linked and what Matt has said Tally's with this; I've now had time to try and can confirm this.
Matt's commands worked when I substituted 'password.key' instead of 'gesture.key' in the 3rd line (I had a PIN lock set) - 'gesture.key' seems to be for when a pattern lock is set, and 'password.key' for PIN lock.
Method B in that thread is missing the 'su' line that Matt has above, so failed with 'Permission Denied' when trying to delete the .key files - works once you add the su command.

Affected models:
Galaxy Tab 8.9" P7300 (confirmed by me) / P7310 (confirmed by whitehart)
Galaxy Tab 7.7" P6810 (confirmed by sebi1964)
Other Galaxy Tab series, including 10.1" (lot's of complaints on XDA, please confirm in this thread)
Symptoms:
No lockscreen, regardless of the setting
"Factory Mode" icon on homescreen, that opens up a calculator
Power button powers off the device instantly: no menu appears
No setup wizard after factory reset
Open Lock icon at boot screen - maybe it's not a related issue (please confirm)
Myth:
Only Samsung repair center can fix it - FALSE!
Workaround:
Type *#7594# in the Factory Mode application and uncheck the box in the Shutdown App that appears after entering the code - Works in some cases, temporarily, till you restart
Fix:
Rooted device
Mounted /efs partition (if in recovery)
Execute the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
chown 1001:1001 /efs/imei/keystr
Reboot device
Optionally: factory reset to get rid of the Factory Mode icon (or just delete it from homescreen)
Result:
All of the symptoms mentioned above are gone, except the lock icon at boot screen.
Needs investigation:
The lock at the boot screen may, or may not be related to the issue. It happens on my P7300, but to the following user's P7510 too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18833764&postcount=1
What are the advantages of having a Galaxy Tab with unlocked bootloader? Or disavantages of having a locked one? How to relock?
Reference:
I've adopted Odia's solution for the Galaxy S3, spent some time with reverse engineering to see if it applies to our Tab's, if so, what are the differences, and voila!

Same thing. Is something like this "enable shutdown at long press...". It is not checked. But even if is checked or not my lockscreen missing.

If the "enable shutdown at long press" is unchecked, does changing the setting at Settings -> Location and security -> configure lock screen have any effect?
I suppose you have the Factory Mode icon, else you couldn't type in the code, right?
EDIT: I've helped sebi1964 and my fix solved his problem.
Open lock icon on boot screen just means you have a fully unlocked (nvflash is accessible) Tegra device. About half of Tab 10.1s sold were like this, many of them got locked by an update but if you never took the update in question it would remain unlocked.
Some of the other stuff I have seen once - on a special developer device (with socketed eMMC) in the hands of a Samsung engineer. It was an I9100.

Yes, I've read about those 10.1". But this is a 8.9". So the only advantage is that I boot into nvflash (APX?) mode without the battery drain trick?
Yeah i got my P7500 in factory mode after had a main-board and screen replacement(under warranty) all the symptoms are correct.
I have to returned it back to Samsung and the technician doesn't even know what to do, after much debate that i want the factory mode gone finally it returned to normal mode. I didn't know what Samsung did, but my guess is that my tab doesn't have imei and board serial number and missinf efs folder, that is why it is entering in factory mode. just a guess though as when i check last time my serial and imei was 0000 and 0000 something.
I wish people acknowledge this problem back then, i felt like an idiot asking in the forum and no one else had it and everyone said that i had done something wrong.
Fortunately samsung fixed the tablet.
My major problem with tablet in "factory mode" is that power button shuts off tablet immediately without menu,
cheers.

No, the advantage is you can actually USE APX mode - if locked, APX mode requires a key that we don't know.
Tab 10.1 and having the same issue.
I had installed a custom firmware after it returned from repair and had no issues. The issues started after I updated to the official ICS rom. But there is no factory mode app to be seen on the phone. However all the symptoms persist.
I tried to run the adb commands through recovery but it just keeps giving me not found errors.
When I try in debug mode the commands go through by the looks of it. Is it supposed to show me some sort of an output on cmd ?
Either way after the reboot issues still persist. :/ Any ideas?
Try to mount /efs partition from the "Mounts and storage" menu in recovery.
Posting here as it seems more people post here
I have same issue after the device was repaired (new board) I have tried the code with teh device rooted, the only thing that works is the engineers code which is temp, as soon as you reboot it its lost'

I've tried this on a Gt-P5113 and it works.
1. Root the device and then download SuperUser first and Terminal Emulator from Google Play store.
2. After that launch SuperUser app and then use Terminal Emulator to type in the following commands:
Code:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
That should solve the issue.

Im trying to root my phone, its an Xperia Z from tele2 in sweden, C6603, android version 4.1.2, version 1.0.11.a.1.253, when im on this part of the tutorial it won't work, it doesn't do anything when im entering display on service test, just flashes some colors, so can you try to help me? im on part 9 but nothing happens when i press the power button to power down the screen many times, i used droidviews.com as the guide, for the toolkit, please help me, i have tried everything possible, changing to msc mode didn't work either
7. You will see the Service Menu of your phone, select “Service tests” from the available options.
8. Now select “Display” (screen will turn white), the toolkit will now start executing some commands.
9. Now press the Power button to turn off the screen, wait for few seconds and press the Power button again in continuation till you hear a beep sound. Keep observing the command prompt for outputs.
10. Then you will see “transfer files to your phone part2“, “installing busybox,su,Superuser,etc…“.
11. Finally, you will see “Cleaning up“ on the screen and then the phone will reboot automatically and when it boots, it should be rooted.
im a complete newbie with rooting, fine, i rooted my old galaxy 5, gt-i5500 using some app named one click root, and another app named z4 root also worked, please help me out here, bootloader is unlocked, according to the service test thing, but it still won't root my phone

Since you can read and did follow the instructions but it still isn't working, your phone is probably broken.
im trying my best here to fix it, buy its still saying the phone is set to read only or something and i have looked everywhere for how to remove a read only partition from a phone and repartition it to still work, but also become writeable
Oh, and i bought my phone less than a month ago, so i don't think its broken
Hello All,
I have Gt-N7000 note mobile. I am running JB germany official rom. Suddenly my phone has restore it default imei "0049999010640000" so i can register on any network. Also, the power button problem appeared to me. When i press it for a long press the menu of restart does not pop up instead the phone just power off and if i pressed for a short one, the phone will just turn off the screen so if press it again or the home button, the phone would just open and bypass the lock screen.
Thanks for ur help guys

Try to explain this again.
Can you register on a network?
Or can't?
This IMEI is not a "restored" one. You simply lost your original one. If you did not make and do not have a backup of your /efs then it's lost.
So: was your device rooted? What did you do before "suddenly"?
i really mean suddenly. The phone was OK then it lost its imei. I can not register to my network anymore. the mobile internet is working fine but i can not make any voice calls. The phone was not rooted then but i root it now.
For the EFS folder, i do not have a backup

Workaround 1: disable SIM pin number. After that the network should work
Workaround 2: use an older version of android.policy.jar (from an unofficial developer release from Samsung). In this versions the check for a corrct IMEI seems to be disabled.
I have this problem myself and was lucky to get an upgrade with the so called developer imei. Since then I use the android.policy.jar from this upgrade.
But please try W1 first. If you'll get the network then it is solvable with W2.
If W1 doesn't work then even W2 will fail.

Of course you should try it.
First root your device. Go to Philz kernel thread and download the kernel for your JB version (XXLT4?).
Tomorrow I will connect to my PC in Germany and download the old version from there (right now I'm in Thailand).
Will attach it here.
With a rooted device and a file explorer with root options you can copy it to your device.

Yes, same reason. When I use the other jar this problem disappears too.
I just copied the file from my N7000 and attached it here.
Copy it to /system/framework. Change permissions to rw-r-r.
For this you need a rooted device and something like Total Commander with /system mounted as writeable. And before you do this make a backup of you android.policy.jar.
If you do not understand these things right now: start searching and reading here about root explorer, mounting /system, permissions. There are enough examples and descriptions.
But first: root
I had recently bought a lg g4 off ebay with FRP lock I was able to bypass the screen using the pop up when you try to sigh in at locations such as McDonalds. I was also able to root the device. the problem I still have is when I try to use any google service it will prompt me to give email. I tried hard reset and when I go to settings there is no way to reset it. And I was also able to unlock the camera

You can unlock your bootloader in dev options and root is the tmo forums, if you get that working you can flash a custom stock rom in twrp and your device won't have any lock I believe, if that doesn't work I'm not quite sure on how to help you further
the only option is use one of the services on ebay. there is many over there offering this service.

i found same lg and was unable to get into the settings by doing the accessories-talk back etc.......what i did do was enable quickview so that i can dual screen two apps, i went on google and typed settings to this phone, or download the samsung bypass either is fine and takes you to settings......so what you do is once you get into settings go to display and in the top right corner click tab view. then go to home screen and change it to the reg screen. once you do that, go to one drive in your google folder thats standard install. once there it should either give you the option to add and should register your email acct as original user.....i may also add it was rooted as well.
at setup click accessories->enable switch acess->turn on->if you get the screen that gives you the option to use one or two switches click two so you cab select and confirm which button volume + or vol- does when pushed.......-> now now go to the settings of switch access-> assign switches-> and scroll down to overview-> highlight-> either vol+ or vol--> once done go back to setup--->push until you get dual screen option-----and follow my earlier long ass speach.......side note been at it two weeks lmao

Delete (or rename) the following files inside /data/system (note that probably not all of them exist for you, simply delete those you can find):

pattern.key
basically any .key file in that folder

Hmm. Not going so well now. I'm doing the following:
Security> screen lock. 'Confirm pin'. I enter a pin, then either a) press 'OK'... Screen goes back to 'security & fingerprint' screen. Shows 'screenlock none'. Or, if I try to previous then press forward arrow on keypad (rather than pressing OK), it goes to blank screen with left facing arrow at top of screen saying 'choose screen lock'?.
I've also noticed that in security & screenlock screen, it shows 'finger 1' under fingerprint list. Like it still has a fingerprint saved.

Yeah the fingerprint will be saved, i cant remember exactly how i did it (i'm not doing it on my phone as my bank already hate me for being rooted and registering android pay like 20 times a month) - if i remember i enter a pin, then choose either pin again or none, and after none go back to pin. I think that worked, but don't hold me to it - it's easy to recover i just dont have a device in that state to try. I could teamviewer your phone if you want me to and sort it haha. Just have a mess around to see what happens, one combination of that should work. Basically android still thinks you have a pin, but it's physically not there.

Ta bud. I've gone back into system file and deleted the other two lock files. I'll try the pin reset again...

Ahha!. Looks like those last two files were causing the prob. Deleted them, now its let me choose options. Reset pin, redone fingerprint and all is good again. I reaaly appreciate the help bud

I'll shoot you a pm if I run into more probs in my quest to pimp the phone . Its all a learning game lol. Opo3t is certainly blowing away my modded n6 so far lol and I'm still only using the standard ROM. Can't wait for some of the nexus devs to make it over to the one+ with uber quick ROMs/kernels

Delete (or rename) the following files inside /data/system (note that probably not all of them exist for you, simply delete those you can find):
password.key
pattern.key
basically any .key file in that folder
Using TWRP file manager (its under advanced)
