I recently bought a mytouch 4g for my dad and flashed MIUI Rom for him. He was playing with it and forgot the Lockscreen code that he put on. Is there anyway of fixing it? Calling T Mobile? Or flash another Rom ? Or reset? Please help

Best bet is a complete reset
Sent from my wickedly brilliant Virtuos Unity Sense 3.0 BluMagic HD Android powered black myTouch 4G with my fingers.
But my phone isn't running on the Stock Rom, would a hard reset mess the phone up? I'm on the MIUI Rom
turn the phone off, or pull out the battery. start the phone into recovery, wipe data and cache, and then flash a new rom on it. That'll take care of the problem.

I've forgotten my lockscreen code a couple of times but after so many failed attempts I get the option to enter my email password and that unlocks the phone

If your dad's phone already back-up, you could reboot on recovery, mound storage to place ROM on SD card, and then full wipe & flash the ROM.

I was hoping for the email option too, but I just remembered that right after I flashed the ROM, I gave the phone to him without setting up Gmail or anything, he doesn't use those stuff at all. He only makes and receives phone calls, not even text. I did set up a Gmail account on the stock rom before I flashed it though, would that still work? And after trying a few times, the phone will say you've tried over 30 times, please wait 30 seconds before you try again. And how do I boot into recovery ? I still have the ROM file on my SD card, can I reflash the same Rom again ?

Did you sync contact list on stock ROM to Gmail? If yes, you can restore the contact list. To boot into recovery, you pull out the battery in 5s, place on battery again, push power + volume down at the same time, you can boot into recovery.
I think you need to full wipe before reflash the same ROM.
No, I didnt sync contact, my dad was gonna use the phone, not me. So I left everything as it is except for the email account since I was prompted to enter it when I was trying out Market Place. So let me make this clear before I decide to venture on:
This is the best option as of now.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Do a full wipe, Data and Cache
3. Reflash the same ROM again
Right? Calling T Mobile wont help and doing a Hard Reset isn't possible because I'm not on Stock rom.
Thank you for all of you inputs and knowledge.
If you just wipe data, you do NOT have to reflash the ROM since everything is still in /system. Wipe data = factory reset to the ROM your phone has.
Thanks Gazalan, data wipe did indeed remove the lock screen code. Thanks for everybody's reply. Didnt have to reflash the ROm again

If you had USB Debugging on, you could also adb shell into the phone and remove a file that disabled the lockscreen code.

the only thing I have on my phone is Fresh 3.4.01 nothing else and it reboots at will, like a 50% boot, ie: screen remains and phone appears to reboot, but its not liek when you turn it on........seems to be happening more and more...
If I do a factory restore will I lose all my contacts ??
what do you guys think ? thanks
Did u do a complete wipe before u flashed the rom??? sounds like u didnt....
You can export your contacts to your SD card for a hard copy, and your contacts are synced with your Google account. Google.com/contacts.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Login to your Google account and see if your contacts are backed up. If not do what someone said and export to your card. Wipe and see if you still have an issue if so try a different rom.
thanks for the replys
I bought the phone new,had the last fresh on it, was only 4-5 weeks ago ?
So i`m using it for a few days works great right, then i get into the phone and see what its running,and google it and see there`s an update available, so i contacted the guy i bought it from and he says no problem do the update if you want...
So i downloaded the file,plugged in my phone to the computer put the file where it told me to, rebooted phone pressing the volume down was it ? and followed the instructions....
So basically it did an update WITHOUT wiping the phone..... truthfully i did`nt have it long enough to know if it was rebooting before i did the update so i`m not sure if its the phone or the software...
These phone are so darn cool i love it to no end, and just want it to work 110% like the rest of yours.
I am an IT consultant and could use a good remote desktop app as well, any recommendations ? as all the ones I have downloaded so far have asked for full access to my phones every move ! whats up with that ??!!!
hey thanks in advance all here you guys rock

If someone else rooted your phone there are a few things you need to do. You need to make sure you have Amon_ra recovery installed and you need to to a nand backup with Amon_ra because it backs up the wimax keys. You also need to do a full wipe when installing a new rom wipe cash and dalvik I do it two times. Than install the new rom, keep in mind you will loose everything and always do a nand backup before installing the new rom. Now if your going from a 3.1 to a 3.2 rom update a wipe is not always needed but a nand backup is incase you need to go back. Hope this helps.
If you know how to root or are capable of following instructions to the end, I say unroot and try to use it like that. If the problem persists, take it in for service. My phone started rebooting randomly because the processor was overheating. I troubleshooted by replacing the battery, changing ROM, unroot, take it in. The phone got to the point where any data intensive app would make it turn off (maps, navigation, YouTube).
might wanna check out this thread. hope this helps

So, I have a backup of my rom from another device that I installed. What I need to do is change the sync account, but it says I can not remove it. Fine, so I try to add another and it says google can not establish a reliable connection.
If I factory reset the device, it will sit at the boot logo and keep crashing until I restore from backup.
If i install a new rom, only one actually worked but it seemed to be an older one (Different icons, missing the Hubs)
What can I do? I already completely bricked one device trying to get this fixed. I really gotta get this going, how can I either wipe it all out completely so I can set it up new again, or find the stock USA/Canada Rom?
Thanks!!
Ps, here is the thread I already have where i speak about bricking my other phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175098
Dude please stop whatever you're doing. You seems to be getting yourself in a mess.
First do some reading on how to flash with Odin and then flash a stock firmware to the device and do a cache wipe and factory reset in the recovery menu. When you boot into the device do a hard reset and then stop messing with the device.

The thing is, if i do a factory reset, it will not boot for some weird reason :/
Thats all I am trying to do, I just need to get back to stock then i'm sitting there. The only thing that actually seems to work is the backup I have on it right now, but I can not reset any of the settings to actually be able to start using the thing
this is the second one you've messed up? use one of the other 2 but don't try to do a restore just download all your apps manually. and send me one of the messed up ones.

I have a Jig on the way, ill see how that goes
Well I would also like to change the sync account, which it will not let me ://
I just reflashed like 8 times in the last hour trying different roms, none are working
Stop.
There is a bug when you wipe, which stops boot...
Affects older stock roms.
Newer ones should be OK, as should custom ROMs

I also cant even find any Stock USA roms, which is weird

The only thing different is it by default has some widgets added, and the Messaging app has a different icon. All the hubs are also intact

All seems to be working now. Woo whoo!
I have 4 And 2 of the 10.1 tabs
I am working closely with Samsung on one of their new marketing projects, which is why I get all of these
So, factory resetting this image screws up too.
But its okay, as I got a blank backup now with no accounts. So I'm all set
Also, just got the email confirmation that my jig shipped out.
You should probably donate one of the "b0rk3n" device to a dev.

Pls help somebody!!!

Did it. Then performed a hard reset again by *2767*3855# (just to be ultra clean).
Looks clean uptill now. No FCs.
Now the steps I think should be performed are (in order):
1. Flash a custom kernel (SpeedMod for eg.)
2. Flash a custom ROM (SURFACE, for eg.)
3. Change the CSC to my country (maybe using Nitrality)
4. Apply a good looking theme (PaulGiddy for eg.)
5. Restore Apps by TitaniumBackup.
Now, the thing is, I've done it all before too. But, I dont know which step caused the problem.
Maybe I did all one-after-another without waiting for some time in between to let the things settle (maybe a week or so).
Pls advise what should I do now (I'm still ultra-n00b to flashing world).
Did you delete some apps from system/app?

If you want to flash surface rom, then just follow instructions in rom thread step-by-step and do everything what is said..many times fc's are caused by bad flash or theme which replaces some apks/files. So try your rom before flashing theme (as boot & few minutes waiting time before that is anyway advised..) and you will see if it's theme which is causing problems.
Also, restore only user apps with TB..

Hi there,
I have a little problem. I wanted to present my sister my HD2 with Android 2.2.1 on it but can't delete my gmail account.
Everytime I try to reset the factory settings I only get a reboot, but it never resets it.
Is there any way to delete this gmail account? If not, how can I update my device on another build?
Would be nice, if someone could help me. My husband put this nand version on the device but he died in march and I have no clue what to do now
Hopefully someone can help.
I don't know if it's helpful but the core verion is:
2.6.32.15rafpigna_1.7_OC-g39281e5
Thanks in advance!
First of all my heartfelt sympathy!
You can wipe your phone (but keeping the OS) by rebooting the device and holding the power button pressed till you get a screen with AD SD and so on.
In this menu go down with VolDown button to AD SD and than press call button. Your phone will boot into another menu.
There is an option to to factory reset your phone. With this you delete all programs and personal data from your HD2.
Hallo icke!
Thank you, I will test it and let you know if it worked.

I had the exact same problem! Phone would boot into the rom, or stock and freeze after about a minute and reboot itself constantly. I had the updated version of TWRP and was flashing the new 1/30 Mahdi build and it happened after I did that! I tried flashing stock roms, aosp roms, and eventually did a Flash back to stock method, which non of them worked. I took the phone into T-Mobile and did a warranty replacement, got a new one overnight. Not sure if it is related to Mahdi or not, but it happened after a supposed successful flash.
I tried my TWRP Backups too, and those still restarted on me. Nothing helped me..Tried wiping the sd card, format the whole card, wipe cache, fix perm..
Hopefully you have a warranty or figure it out!
Good luck.

Should still be under warranty with LG. I'd call their support and give them the serial number to see if it still covered.
As far as the LG Warranty goes, all I did is walk into the store and show them the issue at hand, and he put in a order for a new one sent overnight to me. They send you a prepaid label and a box to ship your old one back(phone only). The new phone I have appears to be brand new, with all the crazy plastic protection on it... not sure if it is a refurbish or not. Didn't cost me a penny, as I have the JUMP w/ protection plan.
