[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carl0sra1n:
Hello, xda-developers community! This is my first post here, and and I come to ask for help.

Yesterday, I ****ed out my tablet, I did it trying to install ClockworkMod Recovery from this thread: Clic here. Ok, I entered to my tablet's stock recovery, installed update from zip, selected cwm6028-a13-10part-v2.zip, rebooted my tablet, and here comes the problem. CWM stuck in a bootloop, I can't boot to Android, just CWM, and CWM can't mount /cache, /system, /data, etc... just the /sdcard. I have tried reinstalling the ROM with Livesuit, and Livesuit throws me a error: Upgrade fails : 0x162[random chars here], no matter what rom try putting on, always throws me that error. Ok, next solution: Change the recovery.img via fastbook, ha! my tablet can't enter to fastboot mode. Wipe data/cache: I can't, because /cache is not mounted. Factory reset: same. After hours of research, I figured my tablet partitions were screwed, why? Here is the answer:

~ # cd /dev/block
cd /dev/block
/dev/block # ls
ls
loop0 loop2 loop4 loop6 mmcblk0 nandf ram0
loop1 loop3 loop5 loop7 mmcblk0p1 platform ram1
/dev/block #

There must have more partitions, like nanda, nandb, nandc, nandd, nande, nandf, nandg, nandh, nandi and nandj. I tried every solution, but all fails. Here's some info from the tablet connected to adb (in Recovery mode):

~ # cat /proc/partitions
cat /proc/partitions

~ # mount /system
mount /system

Btw, my bro has another tablet like this, but fully functional, no CWM, only rooted.

PDT: When installing the CWM, the tablet was still with the stock ROM.

PDT2: I can only access the terminal via ADB.

PDT3: Sorry for my bad English, my native lang is Spanish.

Thanks for all the help.

me too!

Sounds exactly like what I did!

Except that I have nandf, but as a file not a partition.

I have tried to recreate the partitions with fdisk, but it fails to write the partition table at the end. next reboot i get the same thing. Surely it must be possible to repartition the device, but this is taking me beyond the limits of my linux knowledge.

So annoying because I have each of the partitions backed up on my PC as an image file.

Live suit cant detect my a13....says that NO DEVICE NEEDS UPGRADE

The only way that i can think of to solve this problem is to have someone with an ALLWINNER A13 Tablet which is in stock rom and nothing has been changed could make a back up of his or her tab and upload it here for us to recover in our restore option in the cwm recovery boot loop....

[General Questions and Answers] Iankicksass:
Maybe it`s because the rom you`re currently used doesn`t have google framework installed,you could either flash another rom or flash gapp.

Lock Screen security bypass

As we know forgetting lockscreen password/Pattern is really painful. Normally you need to wipe data.

Here attached a flashable LockScreen_security_bypass.zip

Download and flash using CWM to bypass security lock on Lockscreen without wiping data.

If you have PIN/Password lock, it will disable it and reboot directly to unlock screen

If you have pattern lock, on rebooting you will fing pattern lock, but still it can be unlock by any pattern :)

Enjoy !

Here is Video guide. Thanks to [MENTION=4570192]savadam[/MENTION]

Something more

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] emgluon:
Good work. It just makes onr think now easy it is to by pass security. Does this work on none rooted stock recovery? Is there any points of using password if it does. Anyway good work.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jamesd86:
Looks like it uses busybox in the script so I don't think it would work on a system without it. Which is most non rooted environment.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
Another Epic Creation..!! :D

Respects..!! :good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Can you give me logic why it needs and where you find busybox in my script?

I do believe it should work on non rooted device too(though i didn't test on non rooted), provided you have CWM. naturally it needs CWM to flash zip.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jamesd86:
run_program("/sbin/busybox",

It's in there like three times. I'm far from a dev but looks like it calls for busybox.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rocketmail.com:
So can the password or pattern be set again?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes, you can set it again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Then why you not simply remove busybox, unroot and try to run script rather than making speculative statement.

You can ask here too. Indeed it should work without busybox and even root.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] EgyMan:
this will work with my tab 2 .10.1

my tab not root and have stock rom
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
You should have CWM installed to use this.

I have not tested but i don't think it may cause issue, as it just removes some files. if path on your device is different then it should not do anything, and if path is same as note2 then it will work.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] EgyMan:

Do this

adb devices

adb shell

cd data

cd system

rm passwork.key (for PIN and password)

rm gesture.key (for pattern)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ibraahim:
And you need debugging set to On to do this...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] viraj6990:
I had tried almost every script to bypass lockscreen on my Note 2 (for testing purpose) but nothing showed the desired result. And today, I gave a shot to this script and it worked like a charm. Thank you dr.ketan for your efforts (Thank you pressed already ;)).
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mikemyersgnex:
I'm now in India, trying to help a friend. His brother got locked out of the pattern lock, and I spent the past many hours searching for a way to correct it. I ended up on xda-deveopers, but posted in the developer's area by mistake. Between what I found elsewhere (not much), and in the discussion I posted here, everything eventually pointed to you, and this discussion. Thanks for sorting it out!!!!

The phone I am trying to fix is a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos S6102. From what I have read so far, I think your procedure should work on this phone. Any special considerations?

One last question. I've been coming to xda-developers for the past half year, but haven't yet actually tried to root any device, followed by installing any custom ROMs. I do intend to start doing this, but planned to do so on my own device, so if anything goes wrong, nobody else will be upset at/with me. Are there any discussions in xda-developers that will better help me understand how to do the things you mention? I think for most people here, all this is "simple stuff", but for me it's all new and unknown.

I've downloaded your attached zip file. Is there anything else I should download while I still have good internet access? Once I leave for my friend's home, the only tools I'll have access to are a new Windows-8 laptop, and a plug in device with a slow data card.

Thanks again, and I've already clicked on the <thanks> button. :o
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I have not access to device you mentioned, but what I have seem on samsung most of device it remains seen. Though this script don't do anything other than removing files which having information about PW/key. So in fact location is different on your device this shouldn't do anything other than fail to unlock.

You need to get CWM for your device to run this script. It shouldn't difficult if you search on your device forum.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shiropetto:
Hi r ketan,

May i ask 1 question? Is it possible to flash with stock cwm? Stock cwm only able to flash update files. Can i jz rename it to update.zip n flash it? Tx for help n sharing!

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Hi ibraahim,

Is that mean need device must be turn-on condition? Some users were stuck at unlock screen.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
-No it won't work with stock recovery

-If you are flashing with CWM USB debugging status have nothing to do.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shiropetto:
Noted with thx. coz i have fren always forgot the unlock code but they don want raise up the binary counting after flashed custom recovery. so, they have no choice to factory reset it. thx anyway!

It worked to reset the pin lock. However, after that how do I use the pin lock again?

Same as before you were using

If I set the pin lock again, It will lock me out again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bengylow:
What do you meant please?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
No is shouldn't wipe. You can set it again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bengylow:
If I set it again I will stuck with pin lock again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
It will just erase existing pin and again you can set like you have done before.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mr.LOVER:
excuse me sir! how can i secure my device from this hack? please tell me!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vikraminside:
Do no unlock boot loader/root :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mr.LOVER:
thabks for relying. but if i dont unlock bootloader or root then the robber can do it n then flash this hack to gain access to my phone without wiping. the purpose for my question was how can i secure my device from this hack ? any other tweak to secure or another lockscreen etc? or the only option i have is to encrypt my device to survive?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vikraminside:
The robber has 2 ways:

1. ADB - Switch off usb debugging

2. Flashing - Don't flash custom recovery.

Did you try flashing in stock recovery? The partitions has to be mounted for this hack to work. I don't think your robber can flash this in stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mr.LOVER:
and what about odin mode? custom recovery can b installed from bootloader or odin mode.n i think its possible through stock recovery to root the phone ?

alright.can u tell me how this hack work?so i can research about its opposite functions or something?

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vikraminside:
Yes there is a possibility to flash modified boot loader via ODIN but I have flashed only stock boot loader. You are free to test and update. We can chat this possibility separately as this may become off topic.

You can go through the hack script bro. It looks simple. Removal of some keys and stuff.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] anupritaisno1:
It will work.

If the user does not have busybox, he/she can go to twrp/cwm>mount and mount /system /data and /cache and flash your file, unmount /system and reboot

---------- Post added at 14:41 ---------- Previous post was at 14:39 ----------

It is possible to do it without busybox. You should not arrive to conclusions if you don't know how to read EDIFY.

Hello sir,

i frgt my pin of samsung tab 2 7" ( gt-p3100) , tried to reset my pin with the help of lock screen bypass security .zip but its dont works
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] benjamen50:
Yeah I did exactly that on a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 5.1.1.

Before even starting the steps below, make sure you have an aroma file manager flashable zip file for custom recovery.

1. Flash Clockworkmod or some other custom recovery via odin

2. Boot recovery

3. Install the aroma file manager zip file with custom recovery

4. The file manager will open and you will need to look in the system partition (you have to mount it first in custom recovery sometimes) and go into data where the lockscreen security is kept in .key files. If I can remember one was called fingerprint.key / lockscreen.key / password/key and etc. I made a backup in a folder in the same folder just in case anything goes wrong I can go back to recovery and restore the file.
