Figured it out without hard reset!!! htc hero " too many pattern attempts"

I figured out a way to get past the screen lock "too many attempts" problem without doing a hard reset on my phone.

I called my Phone (from my Skype account :) so I could get to the notifications pull down. (couldn't get to home screen or setting from the call) But, I could pull down my notifications. I had a "new email" notification so I clicked on it so that my gmail would open. I then opened an email that had a URL link in it and I clicked on the link. This then opened my browser, which tried to open the link but, it couldn't because, I was still on my Skype call. This prompted the browser to give me an error message that had a Settings button. I clicked on the settings button and was able to turn on my wi-fi and connect to my home network ( I couldn't get to any other settings). At this point I pulled down my notifications again and clicked on the sign in failure notification and this time my phone was able to authenticate my gmail password, through the wi-fi connection.

FYI, I had to go to gmail and change my password as I'd forgotten it. If you don't remember your password you'll have to go through the gmail, I forgot my password/reset process.

If you have email notifications turned off, I think you can send a URL link through with a text message but, I've never done that. Maybe someone else can chime in on how to do that. It's probably pretty simple.

Lemme know if this works for you.

Sounds like one hell of a flaw in the security to me. I actually hope that this gets fixed sometime in the near future.
[G1 General] teknopaul:
I had this problem on a HTC Hero I could not run sqlite3 ont he command line for permissions so the second thread did not work for me. But did not want to flash my phone, this is how I solved it.

Take out the battery, OFF button does not work.

Take out the SD card.

Plugin the USB cable to the phone and turn the phone back on.

Download the Android SDK

untar to a new directory

run

./tools/adb -d shell

To get a shell open, you do not need to be root.

You should get a $ prompt, indicating you are not root

Make a call from another phone to the blocked phone and answer the call.

Then run the following command.

$ am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS -n com.android.settings/com.android.settings.Settings

This will bring the Settings window to the front so you can then disable the screen lock, thus proving that the screen lock facility not a security feature.

Screen lock is still useful so you don't make unintentional phone calls.
[G1 General] teknopaul:
easier method

You can also enter your username, and in the password field just enter the string "null"

:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
For the last few hours my G1 has been showing me the X above the bars.

Ive tried restoring an old image...tried data wipe/reset.

All end up the same.

Selecting my network (TMOBILE) has been an adventure.

One of the following occurs

The menu itself gets stuck on airplane mode.

sim card not authorized on network

cannot connect to network

Ive rebooted numerous times even when bars/data look like theyre back , Ill make a call and it will drop the call, then right back to the X.

What compounds the oddity is that even with the X Ive gotten data to work for the most part. Sometimes it will sometimes it wont. Im extremely confused if this is my SIM card or the G1 itself.

Cus Serv online said to go to a Tmo store for a new sim. But my schedule may not allow that until Fri. I dont have any other sims or phones to swap and try either.

Any clues what this could be ?

G1/TMo/Offical Tmo Donut ROM from this forum.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
Crazy data transfers could be browser cache? Very odd. I would go with what customer service says on this one.

Reflash radio

Just reflash the radio - get the official one from HTC developer site or whereever you can find it and reflash it using recovery ( I hope you have recovery 1.4 or Amon-ra recovery). You can try to take out your SIM and examine it closely, and maybe clean it a little. Just take it out and put it back. Then reflash radio and see if tat works.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Stopped short of flashing the radio.

I wiped and installed Cyn 4.19999 same issue. Rebooted , wiped..then reception came back.

Maybe it was ROM Im thinking ? Wiped restored my previous save (TMO ROM))and everythings working again except for Picmail.((which has been a reoccuring problem)).

Tmo says to go pick up a new Sim card to see if it helps. I guess theres no harm in doing that right ?

Ive never flashed the radio since Cyn and The Tmo ROM dont require it. So its still on stock. Would the pic mail being sproatic before and after this be a Radio problem as well ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
What do you mean by "Picmail"? Do you mean MMS or is that an app?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Yes , PicMail=MMS

Its been buggy for me for awhile.

Im wondering if all this is some wonky Simcard.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garz:
Dont stress it. It happened to me yesturday for about a couple of hours. I think TMOB is workin out some signal issues. I had the same exact problem along with 10 of my fellow network friends. No rom bugs or flash fcuk ups. It'll restore it self normally unless you truely did it to your self while flashing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Could very well be.

Thanks Garz.

For SEA users, if you want Chinese support (display and input), only 3 things to do after loading the UK WWE ROM:

1. Install east Asian font(s)

2. Install IME

3. Extract wince.nls from Chinese version of Windows Mobile 6.5 device emulator image, overwrite the one on the phone. Run reloadnls and reboot.

4. Done.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ctbear:
Hi,

I have an HTC Pure on AT&T network. I don't have a data plan with it since I'm always near Wifi access points.

So I have set up my connections to use the default "My Work Network" with no proxy server set up. (I also checked the "This connects to internet" checkbox)

I also turned Data Connection to off in the setting tab.

With this setup, I cannot access the internet without connecting to a wifi spot, which is exactly what I want.

However I also realized that I'm not able to receive MMS (I haven't tried sending yet). I would get a mesage of "Click to view MMS", and when I try to download it it says unable to download the message.

Is there is special setup which avoids all cell connection, while still keeping the ability to send/receive MMS?

P.S. I'm running udk Leo R4, if that makes any difference.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KingJaffe:
simple ? do u guys think htc will also update htc magic/rogers 32a with 2.0 like the hero? im pretty sure they will but i want to know if the xda community thinks that as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sengkangboy:
Yeah i like to know too. would be cool to have a Eclair Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] porky1981:
well, it seems like rogers doesn't give a cr*p about it's customers (i.e.,still no donut 1.6 yet...still not paid apps), so I wouldn't hold your breath for eclair or sense UI... maybe 6 months after everyone else gets it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
The Canadian carriers are bottom feeding scum. They provide horrible levels of service at the highest rates, while making huge profits.

As a long time Rogers customer I doubt you will ever see a 2.0 update from Rogers. 6 months to 1 year after the rest of the world they will roll out a 2.0 phone and offer it as a sign your life away for another 3 years upgrade.

Root and enjoy the freedom to load and run what you want.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] copolii:
Rogers blows

Yeah ... I wouldn't put money on Rogers coming up with a 2.0 release any time soon.

I sent them a formal complaint about the half-assed state of their android OS (on Dream) ... all I got back was a long email full of fluff and BS. About twice the length of my complaint with absolutely no content. There wasn't a single answer to any of my questions, just the usual "valued customer" BS.

Canadian carriers are truely scum. Let's hope with Bell and Telus going GSM, this'll create some competition and things get better ... though I think it'll just turn into a group Monopoly where they all get together and find the best way to gouge the customers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BrandoHD:
ok what about finding an official google branded rom and installing it on a 32A Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DopyG:
It not only in Canada =/

In Denmark the HTC Magic (32a) is not affected by the carriers, so its up to HTC to release ROM updates, but they never do...

Havent seen 1.6, no official HTC Sense on the way and I wont even wait for android 2.0.....

People can always say "go root and install some custom ROM". Well yeah its nice, but it will never be like having the stock ROMs =/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bmassico:
I have to disagree on this one.

Rooting your phone is ultimately better than having the Rogers-provided stock ROM for a number of reasons like:

- One-touch FULL backup and full RESTORE of your whole phone;

- Wireless tethering;

- Ability to go on the Market and purchase apps as required;

- App2SD and swapping capability, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BrandoHD:
OK well i might be buying a 32A Magic, but i was wondering if original google ROM with OTA updates can be used on the 32A
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tozes:
Root account

Does unlocking root account voids the warranty?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Eskibo:
Well yea, compared to a branded phone.

But as he said: In Denmark HTC phones are not branded, no sim-lock no nothing. Meaning the phones haven't been altered at all.

And I would rather have a rom especially built for a certain device, than a cooked version designed for a completely different one.

Just like Sense before there was an official HTC release.

Sure it was fast and most things work, however some things just could'nt be fixed properly.

Regarding wireless tether.

Would'nt it be possible to develop a program not needing root access?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
Not easily. Android is built on top of a customized Linux and the underlying permissions and rights are pretty fundamental to the OS. You could open everything up to allow non root users the access they need but I bet that "bad things" (highly technical term for difficult to debug file system changes, corruption, etc... :-) would happen as some other poorly written program could then trash the OS. Plus you would have to deal with how the Dalvik machine sitting on top would complicate things. Perhaps once it is opened up to allow running user applications in C it might be simpler, though they are still going to be running virtual.

Much, much simpler to use SuperUser Permissions and explicitly grant access rights to specific programs. :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] m1k3-:
Correct. Also, the wireless tether program that everyone uses is essentially just a gui for executing the necessary iptables commands to handle the routing/nat stuff. Iptables has been in existence for like 10 years now. That's way more than you can say for products like PDANet.

One of the things that makes Linux more secure than other OS's is that it inherently has user separation built in. The advantages that are gained from this far outweigh the minor inconveniences.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] copolii:
I checked a few days ago and the source hadn't been released yet.

Apparently someone here has ripped the 2.0 from a Moto Droid and put it on a G1 (Dream), but according to the same article it's not issue-free yet.

I'm sure Cyanogen would be on it as soon as the source is released :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Epicardium:
Sense UI on Magic

Came across this:

Sense UI on Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] visitador02:
Old news. I hasn't made it to Canada. I read somewhere that HTC may be releasing it to Rogers around Christmas.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Taknarosh:
Actually the reason why Canada (Bell, Telus, Rogers) still don't have paid apps on their Android devices is because the Carriers want a piece of the action. They watch Apple rack in a TON of cash and now they want a cut of the profits.

No wireless tether requires root access, there is not way to tether without it. It plays around with some settings in the phone that only root access will give you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] copolii:
It does, but you can always unroot if you need warranty service.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I'm working on a similar project Evil. So, this is very nicely done...I wasn't planning on releasing until Saturday. You managed to beat me to the punch; then again...I thought I had all the time in the world. ;)

Seems pretty sweet.

hi evil....am EAGER to try out your rom but I'm with a 32A device, I wonder can you make a quick 32A kernel patch-over for this to work for us too? Thanks a bunch!!!:D:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cheperdumonde:
thank you for the work

Why work all your side?

you could work together, Evil, Eugene, Reignzone, Qtek, ... ? and create the perfect rom

Excuse me for english, iam french

Xda Rocks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
You bring up an excellent idea; however, it's just not as easy as all that. It's the hint of individualism that developers strive for. If we were to create some "SUPER ROM" then our individual talents would become obsolete; lost in translation. :rolleyes:

I've considered something along those lines though...so it's not completely absurd to suggest that as you did. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Sadly there will never been a "perfect Rom", As each Dev. has a personal touch to each Rom, and what he/she feels is acceptable per there Rom's.

As stated, we could work together, but then surely, Somethings would not be ideal for others in the group, which in turn could very well slow progress down, or even halt the production completely.

I for one Would offer PS skills to that Dev., But to say what should be in a rom is anyone's guess.

Mainly We do it out of Bored, or just really enjoy fiddling with things.

*Back to topic.*

One thing I've noticed, is no Ring lag so I'll definitely be adding the media back to the system Folder.

Great Job eViL :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
ugh, 4shared, why do you ruin my life?

Anyone have a mirror? Id really like to give this Hero a try. I liked the speed of the other superlite ROMs, and all the extras dont appeal to me anyways.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deleted member 2086469:
pleeeeeeaseeeee, someone make a 32A kernel patch for this sweet+lite ROM as I'm dying for..............by the way eugene, can I use ur 32A kernel patch over this one??? but i think it's not possible......:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edding3k:
Really nice ROM, really fast but i have big problem. The phone doesn't wake up after a while!

i flashed the device with this 3 times, every try the same Problem.

sorry for my bad English!

so I have tried a UID mismatch fix. it seems to run.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wicked_beav:
Hey evil, could you tell me exactly which widgets have been nixed. I definitely must have the calender widget (full size) and maybe the music widgets. Other than that I can live without the rest. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edding3k:
Available are the search and the Clock! and the normal android widgets!

btw, i'm not able to insert a new APN, i cant write anything at the textboxes like APN Name, APN, Username or password. Only numbers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wicked_beav:
Is there a way to push any of those widgets that have been taken out? If so, could someone explain how to?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Wow good work Evil...it's good to see someone doing some different :)! Downloading now and will flash in a second. I can't wait to see this one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, I hope so. Next release I am disabling compcache by default and having linux-swap only. LS has always been faster IMO.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jonstanley2:
cant wait for that :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
is it me or anyone experience "slightly" lag on sweeping home screens (left/right) and menu programs (up/down)?

I'm with 32A sense3s kernel patch by Case_ with FAT32+swap(128M), opening programs are very very fast (due to cache maybe..), just that there is noticeable lag while sweeping through screens.

I wonder is it due to I'm on a different kernel?? just maybe:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jonstanley2:
I was wondering how to remove things I dont use like google talk, the other mail, and widgets like calender, bookmarks, mail, messages etc

was thinking it would make it faster for me personally.

is there an easy way to perform this or is it like built in and youd have to change the whole rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I believe u can remove them from /system/app and /data/data(if any) by adb remount/shell

also If u have root explorer it's even easier u just have to search for keyword (eg. "plurk", "mail") and just remove all instances(examine & remove) and u're done with it:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jonstanley2:
root explorer wont remove widgets will it?

EDIT: bought root explorer. Seems to delete widgets too.. now to find everything I want to delete without messing things up :P

EDIT EDIT: tried to delete com.htc.htcbookmarkwidget and it said it was deleted in data/data, but still loaded the bookmark widget and when I went back to root explorer it was there again. wth?

and it wont let me delete it in system/app because its read only. Any way around this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I don't see this lag......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rgbc:
I've tried most of the 32a BFS kernels with eViL's and others' Hero builds and have always found the interface laggy, with nonBFS kernel interface is very snappy(with no swap).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juanavila:
Hey eViL, I see you posted the V1.5 Update, and you say it is in a Test Phase. What would you say is the biggest test portion of this update, or what could potentially be the most buggy portion or change of the new ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aldri:
this rom is excellent, the only sense rom that I might consider using, the only problem that I see is the qwerty keyboard, I can't change it to azerty keyboard, it seems that you have removed this option... is there a way to put it back ? because a qwerty keyboard is very unconfortable for us frenchies :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Basically, I just want to make sure everything works. There's alot of editing going on, so really, any 1 change can break the ROM.

Thanks for the feedback.

For now, you can download TouchPal from the market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tobi87:
wow love this ROM but:D, i cant log on to my Google account???:eek:

whoaaa....nice!!! what kind of optimization can we expect? (since it's not stated in the change log ;))

anyone tried it pls feedback...since eViL is on break and he should be, since he has pour so much effort on making this super rom!!!!:D

again thanks eViL!!! superb effort
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kloopk:
well earned,

I have tried may roms over the last 5 days trying toget sense working, so following numerous boot loops (not on your) and reloading home screens, I finaly stopped trying to partition my sd using adp or paragon and used the gparted cd, and formatted my swap there.

and I have to say, SWEET your rom is fast and responsive, love it, I have only had one fc on the sense when i tried to change walpaper, but I can live with that.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wicked_beav:
Now here's a suggestion Evil and let me know what you think. How about maybe releasing a superlite version with minimal apps/widgets included, especially those pesky apps/widgets that always love to pop back up in background processes like peep, etc. What you could do on top of that is provide maybe a tutorial or explanation of how to put back in the apps that we want, that way the app can be tailored to each individual instead of each release putting this back in, taking that back out. That would eliminate some headache, you might lose some followers, if so they weren't true followers. It's not that hard to push apps/widgets back into your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yoshi323m:
very nice rom, its realy fast....thank you. it´s possible to put the ram hack into your rom? it would be nice to have 10mb more ram.

thank´s
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] futangclan:
I second this suggestion. Great idea.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] danfozzy:
when you say linux swap only, i take it you mean fat32 and linux swap partitions only??

if so whats the command in adb to make just these 2?

and why does it come up as a htc hero under model, when this is a sense 32A dump reworked?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
That's exactly what I want. Sense is nice, but there's also a bunch of stuff included that many people dont need which slows the whole phone down.

Why dont you give us a REALLY slim baisc rom!

its worth a try
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Easy enough.... but, I can't get a consensus on apps or widgets people want. Maybe like the first release, with clock only and have everything removed packed in a zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dereck66:
That is a good idea!! :D

At least you give people options...

By the way... great work on this rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
Its very easy to remove apps/widgets via adb. so why not leave things in and then people can remove what they don't want. That makes more sense rather then having to add things back in.
