ok, I'll try this...from the store I haven't receive any update, even if i search manually for the app,I can't find it...
[HTC One S] jenkins-84:
Maybe coz your already running latest version that why it ain't updates but if you do want a the version on ere. Just extract it from a zip file it should work or what I did with flash awhile ago to use it with aosp when they was no flash for it was use app back up and restore. I backed it up from sense system file and when I flashed a aosp ROM I just installed it from a file manager so should work if it was other way round too

Hello Fellas, I took some time off my tight studying schedule for exams(:() to share this trick with you

Reset Android Pattern/Password/Pin lock (without even root and USB Debugging Disable)​

I am not responsible for your device being dead, you flashing stock ROM, you using your device as a brick, or any harm to any information, personal or intellectual property, terrorism, vandalism, theft, or any other thing by use or misuse of this mod.

This guide is for educational purpose only

Introduction

It sucks when you forget your passwords

But Gmail account can save you. But what for those who don't have it?

There are some methods to reset them

Wiping data being most popular

But, why loosing precious data when there is a easier or easiest to do method

This is a new method found and tested by me on a rooted device but the resources it uses are available to be used without root too, so it may work on unrooted devices too.

This method uses Aroma File Manager by amarullz in Recovery Mode of the device to delete the password database related files. So, it should work on all devices!

So, first you need to download AROMA FILE MANAGER from this thread :-​

Aroma File Manager​

Credits:-​

amarullz for Amazing Aroma File Manager

m.sabra for information about which files are related to passwords and pattern

Instructions:-

​

1. Download Aroma File Manager.

2. Place it in the root of your sdcard(Preferred)

3. Reboot into recovery

4. For CWM:

Mount all partitions (including sd-ext if you have it)

And flash Aroma File Manager from sdcard

For stock recovery(Samsung e3):

In stock recovery, there is no option to mount partitions, so

Flash Aroma File Manager, Click on menu option and go to settings

Select Mount All Partitions

Now, exit from Aroma File Manager and reflash it.

Now, you will see each partition is mounted

5. Now, go to /data/system

Note : If you have sd-ext mod to increase internal storage, go to /sd-ext/system/

6. Now, If you have to remove pattern lock, long press and delete gesture.key

If you want to remove password, delete password.key

7. Exit the Aroma File Manager

8. Reboot

9. Enjoy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Groot:
very useful for those whose devices are not rooted

good job
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jsarunotres:
or you can just flash a scipt that deletes the gesture or etc instead of flashing the file manager and look for the parts to be removed

by the way thanks for the guide.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iamareebjamal:
Exactly, Thank You for suggestion

:good:

Actually, people cover these topics in a very hard guide of commands when it can be easily achieved
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jing000l:
so...

what if we havent recovery?!

any solution for xperia series?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iamareebjamal:
If you have USB debugging on and ADB installed, then connect your phone to PC

And type

adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key

If you get error like Read Only File System

Type adb remount and hit Enter and try again

its very imp for me to unlock it without loosing data..

plz do help me

waiting .. thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iamareebjamal:
Then it's very easy for you. Download CWM and install it and then do it

And BTW, it's "Apply update from sdcard" in stock recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RazzTick:
Thanks for this. Technically you should get the option to reset the password with your gmail account after a certain amount of failed attempts but of couse this is not always the case.

On another note I hope this makes Google get on the ball with security if bypassing it is this easy.

i choose the "aromafm-1.91.zip" file.

But then i get the error "E: Signature verification failed" :confused:

what can i do?

greets

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iamareebjamal:
Disable the signature verification
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] triralf:
Hi!

I cant. I dont have access to my device.

therefore i am looking for a solution to delete the gesture.key and the password.key.

is there another way to disable the verification.

ralf
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iamareebjamal:
You don't need access to device for disabling signature verification

There's option of disabling it in CMW
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] triralf:
I have a non-rootet Stock-Rom and i dont have installed CWM.

the workound just works with an installed CWM?

Good morning, did you ever try this on a newer version of Android, like 10 or 11?

Did you ever try this on a Samsung Galaxy A31 SM-A315G/DS or similar A series phone(Secured By Knox logo together with the SAMSUNG logo on start up)?

I ask because I am currently in the situation that I am locked out if my wifes phone, because of my own stupidity and grief, she died December 22 2023.

I need to unlock it somehow, without data loss and I made a thread in this forum, but nobody answerred.

https://xdaforums.com/t/samsung-gal...ove-screen-lock-without-loosing-data.4650943/

The phone is not rooted and recovery is stock, but have some interesting options, (see attached photo), like :

Reboot to bootloader

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD card

Mount /system

View recovery logs

Run tests

Repair apps

Hope you can help

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Radamantys-N7000:
I suppose you have tried changing the name of aroma manager to update.zip, you put it on the memory card and used option 4, update from sdcard and it didn't work? That's what occurs to me...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] insomniacno1:
Actually I have not tried that yet, I can't loose the data so I ask before jumping into something.

The technicians in the local phone shops here all say that its impossible, because of the AMC chip. But I learned long time ago that impossible, just mean that nobody found a way yet.

I am hoping someone here can prove their statement wrong 🙂

[General Questions and Answers] inexposure:
Hello, long time user of the forum, first time posting on a sort of recently made account. Before I let my inner Noob show I wanna thank you all for such an amazing experience on a very talented base network of like minded individuals with the same purpose, making our phones truly our phones.

I've used Roms, root, and recovery threads/ guides with such detailed information that I'm glad to be finally able to thank an show my appreciation for Devs and users alike.

My main questions are involving Kernels and scripts, such as init.d support, a2sd and a2ext4

Now from my understanding kernels are made for individual OS ie gingerbread, ics, jb etc. Etc.

So there not all equal though I don't know how to find a specific kernel to work with my Rom or phone model an was wondering if theres a simple way for me to understand what to look for on my own. Since I do have a 10 post intro to go through I can't specifically ask the dev and honestly I'd be more happy if I could just understand and do it on my own.

as for scripts same issue incompatibility and understanding. Not sure what the differences are or which would benefit my needs better. For ex: I have a 32g SD card partitioned with 4g an swap enabled. I mainly use it for link2sd and mounts2sd preferring the latter of the two and on some roms either my busybox won't configure or init.d wasn't properly installed or configured. as for link2sd it won't find my extension knowing that I did partition my card, assuming its the kernel or the base Rom itself but no clue on how to resolve or even pinpoint the issue.

If I'm in the wrong place or have made a mistake please, I'm sorry in advance an if you could guide me to the right area I will gladly move an assume what needs to be done.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ftkatyowser:
My trusty S3 and I had an adventure today.

It all started last week when all of a sudden, I was getting no service on my phone whatsoever, and when I did have service I got a "you do not have permission to call this number" message. Turns out my verizon phone all of a sudden thought it belonged to sprint! The only number that was callable was *2 for sprint customer service. Phone was running stock JB 4.1.2 with cwm 9 (I think, it's been so long since I rooted it). Call to verizon CS resulted in "well, try a new sim card". I brought the phone to verizon, where upon looking at the system it had no identity. No imei, serial number, anything. I couldn't get a replacement today, so I brought it home and hooked it up to the computer. Flashed Jelly beanz- no dice. I read something online where people had success with "- adb reboot nvrestore", so I tried that and got a soft brick. I wound up having to follow the instructions for ODIN recovery, and now have a fully working stock phone. Thankfully I made a CWM backup a couple days ago.

<strike>Now the problem. I can't root. Whenever I try I get "failed" in Odin trying to flash CWM and "E: signature verification failed" when applying SU and bootloader unlock. What's going on</strike> Nevermind, root successful =)

Ok here we go the question is:

Is there a way that I can put the radio archive programs onto my

saves it as an M3U file which my Pocket PC does not have a player for.

Does MusicMatch have a player for the Pocket PC? Or is there a way that I can convert them to a different type of file such as an MP3 or a WAV file?
