I turned on my tablet and found that it had had the wrong password entered 110 times -_- i have access to custom recovery and i have usb debugging enabled im pretty sure but its asking for me to log into my gmail account which is no problem but it doesnt recognize my username and pass. i know there correct because i log right into it on a web browser. i cant access anything though and i need the info on the a500 as i have research on it for a project does anyone know of a way i can get all the info off of it i would create a backup but no sdcard.... please i need the info really bad worst comes to worse ill factory reset :/ im running thor recovery and thor ics custom rom by the way.
EDIT: Ive tried flashing another rom without doing the wipes and flashing them with only erasing the cache but no cigar still asks me to enter my pass and gmail account.
EDIT:I just solved it using advanced backup and restore i restored everything but data and was able to get all my pictures and videos back and then i just installed titanium backup and was able to restore all my apps

[HELP] "Stock" is now unusable

Ok, order of events
rooted
ext2 lag fixed
installed clockwork
made nandroid backup01
removed ext2 lagfix
made nandroid backup02
installed voodoo kernel
wanted to try a custom rom, but read to remove voodoo first
used the automatic voodoo enabler app to remove voodoo which failed and hung at a blackscreen after verizon logo
used odin to restore /system and kernel got to stock, but could not connect to google
restored from backup01
All was good, phone was back to previous settings, connected to google just fine over 3g
Went to bed
woke up, wanting to do more modding
made another nandroid backup3
decided to try a custom rom
after rom was done (didnt test it) installed voodoo oc kernel
one of the two failed, oh well, back to clockwork to restore.
restore from backup01 which worked previously, doesnt now
odin back to stock, put me at stock, but I cant sign in to google, at all
try restore again from backup03, still at stock, cant login to google
wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, restore from backup01, still at stock, cant login to google.
Im fine with being at stock and having to start over.. The problem is, the stock im at, WILL NOT let me log into google, not on 3g, or wifi. Also getting a force close on reboot (Gallery)
Exact google error message is:
Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server.
Help?
Restore the nandroid image from the nandroid stock image topic here.
This should bring you to root a usable state where you have root.
Download root explorer.
Delete "databases" folder in /dbdata through RE.
Factory Reset (from Settings menu on phone)
Reboot to "stock" recovery.
Wipe data/cache.
At this point you should be good. Try the OTA update. If it fails, install the "unsigned" Fascinate D101 update (Search Google, it might be on the "other guys'" forum..>)
This should, without fail, bring you back to stock unless you neglected to replace your mbr with the original.mbr or odin-restore the kernel (and flash stock.zip) as described in the odin restore thread.
Good luck.
Assuming you're not suffering from any voodoo-uninstall badness, like the wrong mbr, you can just do.
Settings - Privacy - Factory Data Reset. All done. (This is not the same as what you did previously).
If you still have issues after that, boot into stock recovery and see if you get any error messages at the recovery screen. It sounds like you might, and this would be because voodoo didn't uninstall correctly

I was getting this exact same message. If you have a youtube account with google, login using the youtube app. If you don't have a youtube account create one with your google account that you are trying to use then you will be able to login no problem on your phone.....
Try that....

UPDATE:
After I posted this thread, I went to the one on how to completely remove the voodoo lagfix. Worked perfectly, then I used my nandroid backup and got everything back.. Now to start tinkering yet again.

[Q] deleting personal information and restoring to basic

okay so i had a HD2 running Nand installed Cyanogen Mod7 and i sold it to a random person on craigslist, No matter what i did to clear the personal info and restore it to factory setting(including going into privacy and hitting factory restore) it would just reboot and come back up with my background and all my google information. it wont let me remove the account saying many apps require that account to work right and i should delete all personal info. he has his own account installed on the phone using the google accounts & sync under settings but i cant find a way to make it the primary account for apps. I deleted all the apps that i thought would use my old account but now it wont let him access the marketplace, anyone have any ideas short of just Nuking and starting over?

Just boot into CWM and do a factory reset, simple!
Once done it will be like you have just installed the rom, All you need to do is enter his info not yours.

- hold power button down to enter magldr
- ad recovery
- wipe data/factory reset

Can't sign in to market

I cannot sign into the market or anything google related. It won't accept my valid password which works just fine still via my laptop. This started just after flashing the
EI22 Legendary ROM. Everything else is working fine so far. I've tried clearing cache and recovering data thought titanium. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
try re installing the Rom without recovering data..
I did try that. After the first flash, when I couldn't sign in, I rebooted into recovery and re-wiped and flashed it again, but it still wouldn't accept my password. I've also tried resetting my google password from my laptop and it still won't take the new one. I was able to set up a new account okay but then it still would not take the original account's password. I don't really know what else to try other than to nandroid back to stock EI22 and maybe trying it again, but I have this feeling it might still have a problem now. I don't know...
Problem solved. I had to regenerate a new application-specific password through online. once I entered that it started working again as normal.

How do I format?

Well, i'm having a huge issue going on the past few days. I wish to start a new account on a game called Knights & Dragons and the developers are of no help at all [it's a GREE game]. Somehow the app keeps loading up my old account and I cant get it to stop. I've tried the following:
Factory reset
Flashing new ROMs and GApps [4.3 and 4.4 ROMs]
Change ID in Titanium Backup
Spoof all info with XPrivacy
Made a new google account completely after all of the above
Formatted and erased completely my SD card through CWM.
Used PDroid to block/spoof info.
Nothing seems working. When I open the app it'll show the "complete tutorial and get so and so" above the loading bar which is fine and dandy but then it goes to update the game and boom. Old account loaded even with the Google Play ID and all Phone infor not only changed but being randomized as well.
On my Note 10.1 all I had to do was flash a new ROM and GApps and it made a new account without me even intending to do it.
I'm so lost so my last ditch resort here is to completely wipe EVERYTHING possible and then get my ROM back up and running, reroot and all that jazz. My question is how do I go about doing so without completely bricking my device? I need to get this new fresh start going here and I don't care if I lose everything as I backed up all stuff already to my laptop.
Any ideas?

[Q] Lenovo K4 Note Vibe Softbricked - Need Help to debrick

Hello guys,
I need some help with my Lenovo K4 Note Vibe (3GB RAM version). The thing is it started popping up random "Unfortunately xxxx stopped working" a couple of weeks ago. That specific app would just crash and restart itself. It can be a system app or game or any random thing (GUI, Contacts, Messaging, Angry Bird and other games etc.). It would usually gets solved on by restarting the phone or stopping the app from setting or on it's own.
Now the problem I have is, I gave it a restart and now it just shows "Unfortunately Notification Center Has Stopped". I have two option "Okay" and "Try To Resolve" none of them does anything except the error goes away for a second or two and pops back up. I can not even see the usual "Enter you PIN" screen. Yes I was using Fingerprint so I had to enter the PIN every time I restart the phone. So now basically I'm stuck at startup screen without any options. The phone is alive I can tell, I can feel it vibrate when I call, hear messaging tones (whatsapp/text). If connect it with PC when turned on, I can see a Lenovo Folder option to browse but its empty since it requires the phone to be unlocked first with pin.
The mobile belongs to my sister and she is dentist by profession and have lots of important data including some research she did (photos) for journal she publishes in national magazines.
How do I get past this error ? I do not have root, I tried the recovery but it is a Chinese recovery and does not have an option to wipe catch partition. The phone was on latest version (Marshmallow) and there is nothing I can do to start it up. Tried booting in safe mode but still the same error.
There is an option to see basic details in Chinese recovery, it shows
Model No. A7010a48
Build Time : 2016 12 27 14:35:36 CST
Kernel Ver. 3.18.19+
Android Ver.: 6.0
along with various other details.
How do I save my data ? Can I recover it anyhow ?
1. Try wipe data and factory reset
if not solve
2. Use SP Flash tools to flash stock rom.
If you have unlocked bootloader, then you can try to flash/hotboot into twrp recovery as it shows all files and folders in pc while connected in recovery mode.
Even if the bootloader is locked, there is no harm in trying.

Bootloader is locked. And there was no custom recovery flashed, every recovery flashing method I searched required for data to be wiped and bootloader unlocked so I`m stuck on that front.

Like I mentioned in post, the data is important, I could throw away the hardware I just need data.
I`m looking for a method to wipe catch partition without getting my data erased or to extract data any other way. Please do let me know if anyone have any solution at all, this is really really important.
Enable usb debugging
Use adb pull command to get the data.
Edit: nevermind, saw you can't unlock the phone.
Pretty sure if you flash twrp it will wipe data data partition as soon as you reboot. So I wouldn't do that.
Other option is do a full nandroid backup using adb but the only way you are gonna get that working is if you flash twrp and like I mentioned it's probably not a good idea but I'm not certain.
Another option is mtktools/spflashtool and do a full firmware backup from that, reset the phone and then restore from the backup, but I have no experience in that but it should work in theory.
Do you see the error even when there is incoming call? If not try from InCallUi i.e. when you answer the phone, try to navigate from that such as opening contacts, if there is a chance pull down notification bar and enter into settings. If any of these happen, it will ask to enter your pin and then you can unlock your phone. Now connect your phone to your pc and backup the data you need
If the data you seek are images, google photos should already backup your images to your google photos cloud account. Check this by signing in from your pc.
If they are media from whatsapp, don't worry, it will be backedup daily to your google drive account and all your messages along with your media will be restored after you install whatsapp again.
If they are Docs, then probably they are in gmail account (PROBABLY) you can always search for required ones in gmail.
Any other files from these cannot be restored if they are inaccessiblefrom your phone.
Suggestion: Maintain a cloud account which you feel safe and backup to that account so that you have no need to worry about the important files. **** like these happen every now and then.
Edit : These are gonna work if you checked the online backup or sync in respective app.
