not trying to be too much of a smart-butt, but heres the full version to do it, what u did is the basic commands, but leaves an empty pin/pattern for ANY input will be correct, heres each command (new line=new command):

adb shell

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases

sqlite3 settings.db

update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';

update secure set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';

update system set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';

update secure set value=0 where name='lockscreen.lockedoutpermanently';

.quit

busybox rm /data/system/gesture.key

busybox rm /data/system/cm-gesture.key

busybox rm /data/system/password.key

busybox rm /data/system/cm-password.key

busybox rm /data/system/locksettings.db

busybox rm /data/system/locksettings.db-wal

busybox rm /data/system/locksettings.db-shm

reboot

some kernels+file-systems(or user actions) convert databases to "wal", or "shm" so they will have different names, as for some newer CM-based rom builds, the pattern, gesture unlock (if implemented), and sometimes pin get put into a different file "cm-***.key" but pin+password goes into "cm-password.key";

u need to only do first two commands(adb shell, and the cd), then skip to after the .quit if u ARE NOT locked out, if u are u need to do ALL these commands, and if it says "file/directory not found" or simmalier errors when doing the "gesture.key","cm-gesture.key","cm-password.key", the "locksettings.db-wal" +"locksettings.db-wal"; just ignore those errors as u dont have the configurations stored in there like some other custom roms do =)

i found and compiled this list from my app i made, if u heard about it "SMS Tasks", and this is acually the exact code (in adb shell form, not in java command line with added characters, voids, etc...) to unlock the phone remotely =), idk why people tell me not to share this code, as its good for users to have so they dont lose their data incase of forgotten passwords on devices stored in their dressers/storages for ages and got out for whatever reason (maybee a new rom-tree was born for it and u want to see it in action, idk =S) but use this if u want, if not u can ignore this post, just wanted to share this with u incase u want to add some to the OP as the commands u do some roms might not fully unlock (it will erase pass/pin, but some roms keep the config that its still set, but any pass (even one characters+a single_space, or one-three dot patterns), so if anyone got those errors, or want more understanding on what files are used, this is my most resent list of things to delete by what i see used on rom developer's github's anyways =S

but hope this helps any of u in any ways =)

much simpler way

download aroma file manager from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646108

flash aroma file manager in cwm with system mounted

browse to data/system

delete gestures.key

delete password.key

restart

of course you will need aroma file manager on the root of your sd card so download it and put it there now for safe keeping

you can always put it there via a card reader or pop your sd card into another phone if your phone is already locked
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StaticBlaze:
Using Aroma File Manager would be the easiest way!

There is a way to do this without USB Debugging enabled nor Custom Recovery installed, as long as stock Android system recovery <3e> "backup user data" option is working:

- create a backup

- modify the backup file

- root the phone

- restore backup

root is not required for backup, but for restore. i prefer restore from custom recovery. but i have done this without flashing, too.

please see this link

i know this is an old thread, but im trying to bypass the screen where it says that youve tried your pattern too many times on a zte z932l (also known as the rapido) for a friends sister. She really just wants the pictures that are stored on the internal memory is all because they are of her kids. Any ideas on how to get this done? I would up on this thread because i was hoping that usb debugging had been enabled, but it hasnt
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alecxs:
no "backup user data" option in Android system recovery <3e> i guess? if you can't create a backup then my friend, this is the hardest case for unlocking... if playstore is working and wifi enabled, you can unlock using Android Device Manager first. if this not help, check if fastboot is working. you can boot custom recovery with "fastboot boot recovery.img" if no fastboot mode available, find any way to make a backup of usrdata partition (maybe in download mode?) once you have a backup, its easy to modify and restore (as long as FRP lock is disabled)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alecxs:
with usb debugging enabler you can modify a rom and flash it via odin (without losing data???), and with Android Multi Tools you can unlock the screen. if this is possible for samsung devices, then there should be a way for other phones, too. another way is to enable adb via sideload, if someone will create such app.

and of course, if fastboot mode is available, the easiest way is booting a custom recovery without flashing it. then just delete /data/system/locksettings.db* files from adb or with aroma file manager (try calung version 1.80)

Does the One have the connectivity issue as the Evo LTE? Connecting /holding a LTE connection..

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] retnuh730:
I don't live in an LTE area normally, however I flew to both Dallas and Houston a couple days ago which are LTE areas. I did have trouble staying connected to LTE for long but I wasn't there long enough to tell if the weak connection was due to the airport/bad range/something else. I would flicker between that and 3G pretty often when I was using my phone, but I was also moving all over the place.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
I tried following this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1580070

"INSTRUCTIONS" part:

did all the above, never forgot any of the 3 wipes/resets that were necessary.

used this rom file:

http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/i9100g

(latest one)

for my Galaxy Samsung S II GT-i9100g.

I had CWM and also had a rooted android 2.3.

first boot it showed me the normal samsung boot screen, for 45 minutes....

so I restarted and the phone gave me the same behaviour..

so I removed the battery to turn off the phone, and attempted to reinstall the whole thing, going through this process again from scratch

not forgetting any of the wipes etc...

now every time I boot it, it leads me to CWM instead of the normal boot screen and the expected paranoid rom eventually...

I followed this path because CM 10 failed me because upgrading from 2.3 to 4.x requires going through something that is called "stock" or as I think it actually is - google's /manufacturer's original firmware/rom production line thingy

and after that it needs me to re-enable root on that stock rom all over again. And only then I may attempt to install CM10...

so I picked paranoid instead, because in it's instructions is showed me no such constraint. heck it can't give me that constraint because there is no "stock" of android 3.x for smartphones :)

but then this issue happened... so I need your help.

I found similar search results but couldn't figure out their solutions or how whatever triggered that same problem (which isn't mentioned in those threads) is related to what I did to my phone... (so that I will not repeat the same mistake)

your help is much appreciated as I need it so so much! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Huh?

Just flash a stock ROM, get back on your feet and go CM or paranoid.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
by "flash"ing you mean the option "install from a zip file" in CWM in recovery mod?

if I have some rom, the only way for me to install another would always be by going through that middle step of also installing a 'stock' rom as well?

there is no way around it?

installing a 'stock' rom, wouldn't it make me loose my root I have on the phone and force me to root it all over again before I can continue install anything at all?

thats the reason I wanted to try out the paranoid way of doing this instead of the CM10, because I have no interest in rooting my already rooted phone and I hoped that paranoid does not need me to go to stock first.... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Couple of things:

Stock: why, when in trouble, we suggest stock?

Stock is the original state of the phone.

Samsung write it for our device to work flawless, so, by flashing stock we can check if our device is fully functional.

Imagine you flash a custom ROM and you lose IMEI, you go "wtf?" right?

In order to check if your EFS folder is f&#cked up, you flash stock and check if your IMEI is still there.

We can always use stock to take a long breath "phew, we're fine" after a f*&k up.

You can flash stock via CWM (zip file), Odin (tar file, md5) and mobile Odin (tar, zip and md5).

CWM: custom recovery, you can get it by flashing a custom kernel or by flashing it via stock Recovery (generally comes with BusyBox and SuperUser app, which gives you Root).

Odin: Just download any version and follow directions.

Mobile Odin: Well, this is a hell of an app, you need Root to run it.

It does all that Odin does, plus it roots your ROM (only stock ROMs) while it's flashing it, all by itself. Costs 5 bucks, but it's damned worthwhile.

Wanna know the best scenario?

You get M.O Pro, you get a nandroid back up online app, you get CWM zip files (sitting on your SD).

With that line up, you can flash whatecer the hell you want and you will ALWAYS have root.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miki800:
some questions

ONE QUICK IMPORTANT QUESTION BEFORE THE REST:

If I use mobile odin, will I be able to use it to install stock rom and also root it at the same time?

SECOND IMPORTANT QUESTION:

you said I could flash whatever I want and still have root, but my problem was not 'not having root', it was not having the flash process complete successfully... how do I attack that?

THIRD IMPORTANT... info... :

My "BUILD" version is "GINGERBREAD.XXKL5", isn't that a 'stock' one?

If you don't have a lot of time,

then the rest of this post is not as important as the 2 questions above...

the saddest part is that I couldn't figure out most of what you just said :(

what is 'nandroid'? 'flashing'? do you mean like dd in linux? copying to the entire flash storage device?

'IMEI'? huh..? O_O

at the moment I was able to 'get back on my feet', I restored everything back to normal with manual copying of important parts of the CWM corrupted backup from this week, and old stuff for a CWM backup made few months ago.

now that I am at a 'normal' state.. I want to install paranoid or CM10 on my GT-I9100g.

which one of those 2 does not force me going through installing stock?

I have this fear of installing stock that it will take away my root and that I will have to use adb from command line to re-enable root afterwards, which I have bad experience with.

I need to know a few things before I attempt to install stock via CWM,

will installing stock disable my root? will installing stock disable my ability to load recovery boot menu CWM?

is 'root' an attribute or state that belongs to the running rom itself after boot has been completed and to that only?

or does it also belong to the state the device is at while in the recovery boot menu CWM ?

I tried messing around with ADB in the past to see if I could root devices via that way but it wasn't very successful so thats why I'm afraid of having to attempt it again.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I haven't seen any overheating complaints since the recent hardware revisions. I don't think you'll have an issue.

As for the over heating problem most people here don't have an issue with it I seem to only have a problem of there is a rogue app or charging watching Netflix at the same time

Even then it's not hot just very warm on the back panel. I believe both phones have thermal throttle so if the processor gets to hot it will slow down in order not to kill your device / mine has never done this even when it was almost 90 outside

GT-S7500

So I installed a custom kernel by MD-14,

Installed ICS along with it.

Telephone didnt work that well, so I wanted to get back to the stock.

I reversed the firmware with the rom backupped with CWM ( also from MD-14)

At this point Wifi stopped working.

Reflashed with the netherlands firmware, phone crashed ( didi it trough Odin, not a smart move )

Reflashed kernel to blackburners kernel and the phone works now

No network support, no wifi support, so this isnt the solution.

Phone was ordered in germany, currently downloading the europe firmware.

Is anyone in possesion of a offical kernel for this phone? or what is the way to go.

Second of all I want a fresh clean phone. can I also format everything? or doesnt that get repopulated by the firmware flash ?
