[Sony Xperia ZL] mangatparamveer:
hey everyone, today I found a way to bypass the lock screen and remove the password/ pin from the settings.

well, this i got to know accidently when i was trying to run a code on the phone.

hile i was searching on a sonymobile website, there came a code *#*#73556673#*#* to run the retail demo, after running the demo, my locked phone removed the pin and shown swipe unlock screen.

then i again locked it with password and then run the code from the locked screen through emergency calling number. after that i pressed the home button 2 times and my locked screen changed from password to swipe screen unlock.

NOTE that after pressing this code retail demo starts, and to stop that demo you have to run the code again....... if you want more help, then ask......

http://youtu.be/gRelLSb0vgw

so this is easy way to unlock the Xperia zl, it must also work on Xperia z, if you have Z, then please share your views.

I think it is the best way to unlock the phone because it removes the password from settings. old trick was that to access the service menu through emergency number.........

my aim towards posting this trick was to show and tell SONY that they should look upon the security issues and improve the security for the upcoming updated of 4.2..........

please hit thanks if anybody was helped from this post

See here
[Sony Xperia ZL] mangatparamveer:
but that does not actually remove the password from settings. if you restart your phone, than the device will again ask for password, but if you try the method mentioned by me, then the password is actually removed......... just press *#*#73556673#*#* and press home button.......

I work in a "Buy-Back" shop and a customer left his locked mobile with us, and then didn't buy it back.

This worked perfectly, and we can now re-sell his non-collected goods.

Just remember, after removing the phone lock, as OP says, input the code AGAIN, otherwise every time the phone goes into sleep mode, the demo runs.

Thanks OP, very helpful.

Ok .. this is not working on my Xperia Z (android 4.2.2). I forgot the screenlock pin and locked myself out of my phone. Is there a code that works with this version of android ..or any other way to get rid of this code?

Sorry for my late answer :D

however ... i solved my problem unlocking my bootloader

i've done it risking because i didn't knew if my bootloader can be unlocked or not but it worked and there was no loss of any data.

I don't know if this works on Xperia ZL but on my Xperia Z (C6602) it worked and also i'm not sure if this works on other Xperia Z phones.

Thank you anyway :).

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
I updated my lt28at to he latest firmware, rerooted+cwm. Then flashed Miui, the kernel and baseband in "About phone" are the same as when I flashed Miui over the lt28i firmware. So when flashing roms with cwm to the Ion does it include kernel and baseband? I thought we needed flashtool for that?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Fredrick_Fredrickson:
Has anyone noticed that Activesynch over USB is much less stable in WM2003?

Frequently after a few uses, the XDA will no longer be recognised by the PC unless I perform a soft reset. It seems to happen every time if the PC goes into standby while connected.

This didn't used to happen so often with 2002.

It's odd becasue looking at device manager, the PC knows the XDA is connected, but activesynch isn't playing ball. Happens on both my PCs.

Anyone else having the same issue? / found a solution?

Thanks,

Fredrick

sometimes this issue happens, and i found the best option is to renew the partnership ... also make sure you have ActiveSync 3.7.1
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dondtm:
Hi all,

can you suggest an offline GPS navi program which works on GS4 (1080p display)? Can anyone confirm if any of the 'flagships' worked on it (ie.: IGO, Navigon MN, TomTom, Sygic,...)?

Thanks a lot, regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dondtm:
OK, i confirm, IGO and Navigon MN work properly :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomansch:
TomTom works fine, too ... AND TomTom does store its data on your external SD. Pushing Navigon to external doesn't work,(did work on S3 though...), and foldermount can't do the job either, navigon doesn't work afterwards and starts downloading once more...

edit: foldermount DOES work for me now, re-flashed STOCK ME2 and applied djembey's modified AutoRoot, now evrything's fine...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
Hmm no... iGo was on Windows Mobile at first, then iPhone + basic version on Android, and recently they released a much better version of iGo Primo on Android.

I've been using iGo on Android for years (on HTC HD2 first, then Galaxy S3), and I find it much better than the others currently for my use ;)

Sygic is pretty good too and it looks great, but lacks features compared to iGo Primo.

I am running trinity and am pretty smooth, but still I feel like sometimes it lags. I was wondering which one is better battery and performance wise. Personally I don't think trinity has that great of a battery life. Please just don't tell that you use one of these kernels, explain why you think its better over the other. Thank You

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
which is where the flaming will start. trinity(or faux) users will say that the one they use is better than the other, then itll go downhill from there. the pros and cons are for you to decide, based on how you use your device and how your device reacts to the kernel.

[HTC One V] Deontologist:
After trying to upgrade my unlocked phone to another ROM, I got into a bootloop.

But that's not the problem.

I tried to troubleshoot it and restore using CWM but I kept getting MD5 errors.

I ended up relocking my phone and now I cannot access CWM. AT ALL.

I tried getting a PrimoC Virgin Mobile RUU, but it fails with error 132 (signature error).

Currently when I turn on my phone I go straight to the bootloader. My phone is relocked. I cannot access CWM. RUU does not seem to work. All I got going for me is that my phone still turns on. What can I do guys? I really would like this phone to work again. I need help desperately as I need to be able to use this phone to text my friends and girlfriend.
[HTC One V] gulsher:
go to bootloader then unlock it with a same way as you did before (hope u didn't deleted your unlock_code.bin)

flash the CWM again then try to go into recovery

mostly it should work
[Nexus 7 General] xMopx:
Hi guys!

Last night I decided to mod my Galaxy S3 dock (a phone I no longer have) to accept the Nexus 7! Both devices have the usb micro on the bottom center of the device, but the plug is upside down the Nexus 7!

Here's a close up of the dock's connector. The goal will be to rotate this 180 degrees!

And the Nexus 7's connector (Top = front)

To begin: With the dock closed, flip it over and peel off the rubber bottom to reveal 7 screws. Take them all out.

Next, starting from the side of the rock, use a tiny regular screwdriver to split the top and bottom halves apart. There are clips holding it shut so some force is required.

Cool! The dock is now open. We'll focus on the top half - the counterweight on the bottom half IS enough to keep the Nexus 7 upright.

This is where the ribbon cable goes to the top side of the dock, and into the connecter. Doesn't look like we can loosen it from here - so we'll have to dig in.

On the left and right there are 2 tiny screws and 1 tiny spring on each side.

These springs are tiny! Don't lose these! The easiest way to get them off is to use a needle to pull from within the loop at the top end.

By removing these springs and screws we can remove this component - remember to unclip the ribbon cable from the PCB!

There's a sprig loaded cover on the top. Pry it off from either end. Be careful, I cut my finger nicely doing this.

NICE! We can now see the screws holding in the USB connector!

Once you remove the connector, simply rotate it and plastic mount 180 degrees and screw it back in. Remember to completely remove the ribbon cable from the large plastic piece, it rotates as well. From here, it's as simple as following the steps in the reverse order to reassemble the dock.

IMPORTANT: Remember to put the ribbon cable back in it's socket on the PCB in the same orientation it originally was. This means the cable will have a twist in it when you're done.

Unfortunately the Audio out on the back of the dock does not work with the Nexus 7. Perhaps this could be solved though software? Charging, of course, does work.

Enjoy!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] evltwn72:
Okay, so I bought a Note 2 that was rooted and unlocked. It's running CleanRom 4.8 with TWRP recovery. Its baseband is I605VRALL4. I have downloaded everything I think I need to return it back to stock. I have Odin3 v3.07, Kies, and I have the pit file downloaded. I downloaded the alternate restore for VRALJRB like droidstyle said to. My problem is this. Odin does not see this file at all. It will see the pit file, but when I open PDA, it can't find the alternate restore file. I downloaded the original file, and Odin sees it just fine. Here's my question. If I try to flash the original file instead of the alternate restore file, will it brick my device or will it flash it just fine but lock the bootloader? I don't mind having a locked bootloader.

so DVD (around 4gig) down to MPG (around 1gig) then down to PPC (128 or 256MB ) 4 gig down to 256 or 128 MB depending on your settings !!!!!!

hope this helps

It sounds like you have a good connection to your router, but the router is not providing internet access to the connection. You can try forgetting the connection, turn the N7 off/on and connect again. If that doesn't work, try resetting the router. This can be an issue with older routers or routers that should have firmware updated.

[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:

Found out hard way: you can't just be on the last official RUU (3.14.605.12) to get the new update from Verizon.

ALSO dammit you have to have previously taken the small February update to 3.14.605.13. The update's name mentions

605.13 in its title. The problem is that you can't get that little update anymore!!!!

Those of us with only 605.12 may have to wait until the next RUU is issued. Gripes me.

[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
how to solve that

In February, Flyhalf205 uploaded the 605.13 OTA.zip in another thread.

The one I could not find anywhere.

You take that little one, rename it update.zip, and flash in hboot.

Do a factory reset and it'll boot up.

Then you can get the current OTA from Verizon.

You can only use the official update with your bootloader locked and a non modified stock rom or you need to wait for a new RUU to come out.
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
-or- s-off if s-off and on the latest ota it doesn't matter if you are locked or unlocked. You will need to flash a custom recovery and su when the ruu is done but the update will complete. You can also downgrade the bootloader (hboot) back to a modified one such as vinyl freaks if and only if s-off.

If you're s-off, you can flash the firmware on it's own and not have to touch the recovery...
