I just had the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy S5. I solved the problem and unlocked my phone. Suggest the following if you locked your phone with a lock pattern:

1) Try the wrong pattern 5 times

2) You will see a message asking if you," Forgot Password"

3) Tap that message and you will be presented with a screen requesting your email and password.

4) Use your Google credentials and you will be able to unlock your phone.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] palankisaicharan:
change the lock pattern from settings

Go to settings>security and change your home lock screen.This worked for me.

ADM - Blessing and a curse?

Ok so yesterday my wife's phone was stolen out of a car. First we had AT&T shut down the services. According to the history, the attacker actually tried to access Paypal, and tried for a couple of minutes and gave up when he didn't get anywhere. He sent a password reset, that didn't go through. Then I found the ADM and turned on the Lock-screen with a message to call me. According to those who found the phone, the attacker apparently threw the phone underneath a car in a parking lot. The ADM-lock screen allowed them to call me... "Thank you 'Google!'"

Now to the bad news: I cannot get it to 'UNLOCK!'. No password I put in works. And when I attempt to reset the lock I get: "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed". I guessing this means that it won't alter the password or it can't. Many people all over the internet have come up with all sorts of ideas for this. But I don't see anything 'satisfactory'. Besides just a complete 'reset'. So I really have killed the phone I just recovered? Meaning the ADM is also a 'Curse'? With sarcasm: "Thank you 'Google!'"

This is a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-I537. I've already attempted to hook up an USB cable, I see nothing. I'm pretty sure that USB debugging is not enabled.

I can enter the password 15-20 times, it never offers me for a 'forget password'. It sometimes says that I need to wait 30 seconds. It keeps tract of how many so-called bad attempts.

PS: I got it... After 30 guesses. The first password apparently stuck. Apparently I wasn't thinking too much, and I put in 'dude'. LOL. And it is now unlocked.

You are living my Exact Story!!

I have a Galaxy S4, and I had a pattern lock on my screen. I also have a 2-year-old, who unfortunately got ahold of my phone and locked it out. It's asking me for the backup Pin- which I've entered over and over, but it keeps saying it's incorrect. Now I have one try left before a factory reset:( Please help!! I don't want to loose all my memories of the precious (however difficult) daughter :)

It's also started having a white pop up box that says "Unfortunately, phone has stopped." Then asks me to click ok- it goes away for 5 seconds then pops back up again.

I have already contacted Verizon both over phone and went into the store. Both told me they could not help.. also already went to the Android Device Manager and tried to lock it so I could at least call my husband- I put in the Call Owner thing...

SO FRUSTRATING!!!! Anyway- still don't know what to do..... But just couldn't help but reply when I read your story- It was serious deja vu!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NITLOC1:
This might work

i too had locked my nubia device through android device manager.

it can be bypassed by rebooting into recovery mode and you need to format /data and /cache.

after this restart your phone through recovery mode it may take 5 to 10 minutes to finally show "android is updating your apps " something like this.

this method worked on my nubia mini and i thing technically it might work on every android phone that is capable of booting into recovery mode.

this method would not delete your photos,music,etc.

only contacts and app data will be gone,i am sure that won't be an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KaosMaster:
This method WILL delete all data that is on the device! This will only not happen if your using a custom recovery solution!

Please be careful when giving advice. :)

If you log into the Android device manager website, it will assist you in unlocking your device. You can set up a password to bypass the pin lock, and make sure you don't lose your data

Hi All

Customer came in with a tablet that was stolen, google locked by her, but later recovered.

In short, this is where i'm at. ADM with her login details, unable to remotely unlock.

When blocking she used a password and device is asking for a PIN instead.

Device wont boot into recovery mode to factory reset.

Cant access device to connect to a network..

I cant think of another way around this.. ANYBODY, PLEASE HELP?

Android Device Manager Samsung Resolution

I read this in another forum, can't remember exactly where but if its your Samsung device use the find my Samsung app. Lock you phone then it may take a minute but the Samsung proprietary app will take over and lock your device. This will allow you entry into the device. Set the screen time out for 30 min then backup your device. This worked my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

My phone did not originally have a lock screen until i used the Android Device Manager. Each time I entered the password it was incorrect. I wasn't presented with an option to enter my email after 5 attempts either. After completing this procedure the option to remove the lock screen was still unavailable as I didn't know the password that was set. I was able to backup my device and reset.

Hope this helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anilnehra009:
how can you able to unlock when it is locked by ADM??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flsunnyz:
Same thing with my Galaxy S5. Many, many times of password & pin incorrect over 5 days, 8 hours of phone & online with AT&T and Samsung and in-store visits. Finally, I did Findmymobile again. The unlock feature never did show up on the left side, but I right (I think) clicked on the location when it found my phone and unlocked it. I was so surprised that I didn't even realize my home screen was visible for at least a half minute. It's worth a try, 'cause I did the same stuff as all of you have said without any good results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cypepita:
This worked!

I left my device at a Starbucks and didn't realize until I got home. I went into my Google account to change password and found I could locate my locate and lock it so I did. It located the device exactly where I left it - at Stuckbucks. So, I went back in the morning to recover it...with a locked home screen with my message on it. Unable to unlock directly on the device. I went back home to research this on my desktop. Google Account doesn't have unlock device feature so I used the search engine and found this forum. I followed the instructions and bingo, my device is now unlocked! I was about ready to get a new device!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PNGC:
Hey guys -- I'm currently on the hunt for a Nexus 6. An uncle of mine is in Miami at the moment and he's buying me one.

Thing is, he's not too technology-literate. So I'm trying to guide him. Anyone knows where I could tell him to buy me a phone? It's also to be used in Europe (is that fine? I believe the N6 is unlocked so it should work, right?).

If anyone could help out, I'd appreciate it. I've called 2 T-Mobiles (the ones their online support suggested) and both were out of stock. I also have a MAJOR preference for the Cloud White one. I really need help locating a specific place that has the phone in stock right now.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
there are two versions of nexus 6, us version and all other countries version. in the united states, they only sell the us version. you can buy it at selected tmobile locations, or selected sprint locations. or you can order over the phone from tmobile, and have it sent to you via ups.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
If you're looking for a Cloud White one at a physical brick and mortar store. Good luck with that, most stores offer only Midnight Blue. You can find Cloud White only online at Motorola or Google Play Store and you'll have to wait for your order to be shipped.

Inventory of N6 can't meet the demand as of right now. Pretty much buying a N6 means you're on a queue, unless you get it from a carrier but even then with a carrier, it can be a queue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PNGC:
Dang, that's a shame. I mean, I could settle for a Midnight Blue one, I suppose. But from what you've said, that seems hard to get as well. Thing is, I'm not in the US, and calls to stores cost me a ton. What I really wanted was someone who heard or knows that there's availability in a certain store, so I can have my uncle go there and buy one.

I guess that's a bit too much to ask online, but I'm pretty desperate to get my hands on some Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEmpyre:
You can check best buy stores, they have online inventory listings. Just have to put in the zip code of wherever your uncle is

Edit: these will of course be carrier branded phones (AT&T or Sprint) unlocked version has to be straight from Google or Motorola I believe
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulieb81:
The AT&T model can be unlocked, and they have the midnight blue ones in stock. Is that an option for you?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] springer.music:
As simms22 mentioned in an earlier post, there are two variants of the Nexus 6.

XT1103 is the model for the Americas and XT1100 is the global model for the rest of the world (including Europe).

As far as I understand, the main difference is that each model supports different network bands.

More info: http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/nexus-6-header/Nexus-6/nexus-6-motorola-us.html#nexus-6-specs

To be on the safe side, I'd check that that the US variant of the N6 supports the GSM/WCDMA/LTE bands of your network provider before purchasing it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funcrusher:
I did see that Miami is one of the few markets that T-Mobile actually stocks the N6 in store, so maybe call a couple more. Also, if you're okay with the 32GB midnight blue, you can have them order it and overnighted. I ordered mine on Tuesday and got it yesterday.

I can feel the vibration at 5 ms vibration setting.

While on Nexus 6, I must set it to 20.

Weak.... :(
[Nexus 6  General] Silentsoul:
not sure if troll or serious.

since i got the N6, i cant keep it on my desk at work cause it would eventualy be sickening loud.
[Nexus 6  General] farangutan:
I wish I could turn off the vibration, it's too strong on my N6.
[Nexus 6  General] AmesCell:
The vibration motor seems strong for everything except Swiftkey. I keep playing with settings also and 20 does seem about right. But it's still weak and seems to not vibrate for every keypress.
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
Yes, this is the case. I am not trolling.

I think the vibration motor is not proportional.

It is very strong starting at 25 ms. But below that, it's really weak.

At first, I was thinking mine is broken, because I compare it to my Nexus 5, sensitive vibration.

Moto G 2014 Multi-tool

​

Testers needed!​

Hello my friends, my name is mrtaylor and I am reasonably new to the forums and pretty much a newbie when it comes to things like this too.

bare with me, probably scaring you all off by saying that but I have an announcement!

I've spent the last few hours tinkering away and have come up with four useful tools to help people that are not to familiar with android and need a hand when it comes to modding, rooting, etc.

the tools I have created are not "new" by any means but i have put them all together In an easy manageable folder with everything needed to execute them.

Tools Included​

Root

Installing Custom Recovery

Removing Unlocked Bootloader Warning

Restore Without Data Wipe

These are just a couple to get started and before I continue with the development of these and decide to turn it into a fully fledged executable tool with nice pretty colors and ponies i need a few people to

TEST

them.

So,

anyone interested then please reply to this thread and I will PM you the dl link

, i would really appreciated the help and feedback.

these tools are based on the xt1068 build but I'm sure they will work for all models.

Use tool at your own risk, it's in development; MOD EDIT Use of a hosting site requiring an account to download [MENTION=3843529]gregbradley[/MENTION]

You need to change the first line of your batch files from "mfastboot.exe reboot bootloader" to "adb.exe reboot bootloader" Your instructions say to enable debugging and run the bat files, but it doesn't work correctly if you can't reboot into fastboot because of the wrong command being used. Also "mfastboot.exe reboot recovery" is a nonexistent command. Either reboot into android and use "adb.exe wait-for-device" then do "adb.exe reboot-recovery" or add in the instructions to manually reboot to recovery.

People on XDA

*need*

to learn how to reference and configure their PATH environment, instead of pointing to specific executables and trying to remember where they all are. From a Unix background, I can tell you that having to keep track of the path of every single executable file on your system, so that you know from where you need to execute it, is utterly silly and highly inefficient.

Here's a GUI setup for how to setup your PATH in Windows 7, so you don't have to keep remembering "C:\Users\Blah\Desktop\FolderOne\FolderTwo\Untitled Folder\XYZ\adb.exe":

http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx

For Windows command line PATH syntax, type:

setx /?

and do some heavy reading. For example, if you want to add

"C:\Users\Blah\Desktop\MyFolder\bin"

to the System PATH, you do (from CMD, as Admin):

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Users\Blah\Desktop\MyFolder\bin" /M

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwpoersch:
I have had this tablet for awhile and now it has been shelved as newer devices have been brought into use and it's sort of "obsolete" but still works thanks to Timduru. I'm wanting to see if anyone knows of an app or some sort of setup that would enable me to use this tablet as a message/info center (always on) that could either be hung on the wall or set on a desktop. Ideally it would display either digital photos or current weather radar as a screen saver, but anybody (in my home) could tap the screen and get messages or notes (sent by me from another device). What got me to thinking about this is that I work in the transportation industry (railroad) which takes me out of town often and when I'm returning home it would be better to be able to post a message to my wife/family that I'm on my way than to send a text because it is often very early in the morning and I don't like waking anyone up for such a message (they have to get up early enough as it is during the school year). So I was thinking it would be neat that they could just check that message board for messages/news just to see if I checked in. I'm sure there's a plethora of apps that do any of those individual tasks, but I have never seen one that "does it all". Hopefully I described what I'm looking for clearly and understandably, if so, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks ahead of time!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fooox1:
126/127 have a different kernel and baseband. Guess that makes the difference.

But for a recovery, it should be enough. Actually, you do not need it, since it goes well with a custom recovery.

If you want to use the internal update program, then the stock recovery must be on it. With Custom Recovery works only on Volume + Power.
