So guys I have HTC MYTOUCH4G it is stock...
Yesterday one stupid girl made too many wrong pattern attemps and I was locked out of my phone and now it says sign in to your google account, and I do that but since the wifi was off and my mobile internet is also turned off - I can't unlock my phone even when I'm entering my gmail and password. tried many times, waiting an hour, then trying.
Is there a way to turn the wifi on and unlock my phone, I don't wanna do a factory reset because I can't copy all my data from my phone so I don't wanna lose anything.
Thank you so much!
I have tried calling it and then pressing home, or accessing notifications menu but it wont let me do ANYTHING.
Even if you factory reset, the only data that will be lost would be the non-google apps. So basically, the extent of your losses would be to lose some of your game data as your contacts, emails, blah blah blah is backed up in google's cloud and your sd card would be untouched. If you were rooted, i would just tell you to wipe system and cache are reflash the rom
Not sure if this works on stock but you can try the following to turn on your wifi ...
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='wifi_on';
.exit
Once wifi is connected, you can enter correct google credentials ...

I guess I found a bug, and it really irritated the hell out of me.
First of all, I had a rooted phone with lagfix, but wanted to update my phone to latest software version. I couldn't do this without restoring files with Odin, then resetting the phone.
Prior to the reset, I had it connected with my company's exchange server, which required a password when you restarted the phone, or after 12 hours of it being on.
AFTER the reset, the password prompt was there, but no password worked!
So to save anyone any hassle in the future: Just enter 10 wrong passwords and let it wipe the data. It'll come back afterward.
GOD WHAT A PIECE OF SH*T
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.
EPIC WIN

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.
I'm very confused by the behavior of my Nexus6p right now. I would like my phone to be fully encrypted, IE, you pick up the phone and can access absolutely none of my data without typing in a password. So I've clean flashed it several times, usually whenever a new update comes out. And each time I do this, the phone behaves how I want, when it boots, I get a password screen that says "enter a password to continue boot". It goes on this way for a day or so usually, and then suddenly this password screen stops showing up and I get the "you must enter a password after restarting" screen that clearly has already decrypted my data because I can see notifications and even play music through bluetooth without entering the password.
After each clean flash, I have been installing various mods. This time around, I have the things I've flashed down to TWRP 3.1.0, Magisk 12, and ElementalX 4.08. In the security settings, the phone still reads as encrypted, so I'm very confused. Is this normal behavior for this device, or is it one of the above things I have flashed? Either way, how do I fix this so that my data actually stays encrypted when the phone boots?
I have had similar issues to fix I formated everything and then installed the rom installed newest vendor image and then kept on eye on what I allowed special access to my phone
Keeper was wanting special access so I stopped using them and switched to last pass I have not lost decryption on phone boot
Also decided to pay for esexplorer pro to get ride of any possible infected ads
Your phone data is still encrypted, but your security settings are not optimized for what you want to accomplish. Make sure your Lockscreen has a password/PIN/Gesture set. There is the password on BOOT when encrypted, a password on Lockscreen when the screen is off, and In Settings>>Notifications>>Gear Icon>>"On the lock screen"- there are three settings. Default is set to "Show ALL notification content". Set it to NOT show notifications for now until you set which ones you want to show or hide. TWRP and EX are not causing your issue. Magisk might be but I don't use it. Uninstall just to be sure and/or check in the dedicated Magisk thread. This is on the stock 7.1.2 ROM. If you are running a custom ROM, YMMV.
So if I understand the issue correctly, you clean flash and you have the prompt to enter your credentials before booting finishes. Eventually you get set up and upon a reboot you notice that the prompt is gone?
Check your apps. You're using an app that requires an accessibility service (see Settings / Accessibility / Services). Granting an app accessibility service will do away with the boot entry of your pin/pattern/password. Set up your apps again and either don't use the app in question or just don't grant it the accessibility service for whatever feature requires it.
Known issue, btw. I forget why it happens, Google may turn up the results you're looking for.
Edit: Despite it not asking for that prompt on boot, your phone is still encrypted, by the way. This also has absolutely nothing to do with TWRP, EX, Magisk or how you choose to have your notifications hidden on lock screen.
2nd: Sadly, just revoking the service won't usually restore the prompt while booting. You'll need to clean flash again and not grant it in the first place.
That makes sense, I was looking in the wrong place. That's a really irritating design decision, there's no sense in having the encryption at all if you're just going to store the material necessary to decrypt the data in the clear.
For now, changing my password seems to have returned the encryption prompt while leaving the accessibility services working to the best of my observation.
It will probably go away again shortly​, most likely after the app uses the accessibility service. If it does, revoke the service and change your password again or clean flash. I don't believe there is a way to keep both 100% of the time.
Ok, just bought a US Cellular US996. Whenever I set up the phone, it wouldn't let me enter my google account. It just gives me a "There was a problem connecting to play.google.com" message. It does the same thing when I try to open the play store. I've factory reset it, removed my SD card, cleared data from the download manager, Google play services, play store, tried different data connections and I still cant even get it to the screen where it will let you enter your gmail account. The phone is rooted but i even restored it stock and it still does the same thing. Any one have any ideas?
Anyone??
i get the same thing
hi rafe and everybody. this is my first comment!
i get the same thing as OP. i had factory reset the phone and had cleared all 'google app' data iirc. please help!
