Lockscreen issues and Device Manager properties - LG Stylo 3 Questions & Answers

Two separate topics.
I have the LS777 Boost version running Nougat. I broke the screen and it sat for a couple years before I decided to replace it. Either I forgot the pattern lock or it did because I can't get past it. key points:
USB debugging IS on. It shows up as unauthorized
I can access the recovery screen
NOT rooted (yet, seeing it can be on here prompted me to fix it)
NO custom recovery
No dialer in emergency call mode
When I go from the lockscreen to the camera, take a pic, then hit the pic to preview it, then hit the share button, a bunch of social media icons pop up. If I hit one, it ALMOST goes past the lock screen trying to pull up the app to share.
I have it registered with LG, but I can't find a way to do anything with my device, let alone unlock it, you know like Samsung has.
Account device manager experiment: It had all five of my main accounts on there, but since I regularly change my passwords, I get the Account Action Required notification. If I can get it to authenticate on one of them, then I should be able to go to Where's My Device and set a new lock. I know all of the passwords I have used on my accounts, but I don't know what password I was on when this phone was active. Using my hotspot and changing the name to one of an open wifi I know I conneted that phone to, I am able to get it online (hence the notifications). I took one account and started changing the password on it, waiting 24 hours between each change and waiting a few minutes (until the notification hits my main phone at least) before powering it on. I'm on the third password and no luck.
It's theoretically sound, but I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure whether my device will authenticate the account when I get to the right password.
And yes, I know I can just wipe it. It's an old phone running Nougat that I haven't factory reset. The data on there isn't important, it's just a perfect situation to run some experiments on.
Second thing, because the issue of unlocking LG bootloaders still exists:
I have up Windows Device Manager because I'm working with various phones here. It's on the lock screen (booted normally) and is showing up under Portable Devices. If you co to the Details tab, scroll down to Capabilities, it has a second value: "CM_DEVCAP_SURPRISEREMOVALOK"
Remove a lock? Is this something we can exploit, or is LG pouring salt into the wound caused by them refusing to give us the codes to unlock the bootloaders.

Upon further research, that description in device manager is "surprise removal ok" and had to do with unplugging it.
Still, screw LG for keeping their bootloaders locked even after they decided they were getting out of the cell phone business. Makes the fact they had to shut down their forums even funnier.
On password number 4 of 5. I have a feeling this experiment isn't going to work. I'll report back after the next be password change.

I'm fairly certain I have tried every password from that account by now, and it didn't work.
However there are three other counts on there, stop I'll run the same experiment with them and see what happens.
I mentioned something about sharing pics from the gallery. From the lock screen,
1. Go to the camera icon and pull up camera,
2. Take a pic,
3. The picture will show up in the gallery preview box in the lower right corner. Press (or long-press) it and a pop-out menu will appear just above it.
4. If you pull the menu out, you'll see a bunch of links to various social media sites.
5. Click one of them. I've tried them all, but I usually pick Tumblr because it's the first one.
6. The screen changed to the app's background and it appears to start loading the app and will hang there for about 3 seconds, but then you get sent back to lock screen. It's 3 seconds can be maddening because looks like you're allllllllllmost there and then...no, no you're not.
If anyone knows if there's an exploit there, in all ears. I'm going to restart that password experiment with the second account now.
And I know most "plz help me get past me locked screen" posts are sus and address likely people trying to either scam someone by stealing their info or trying to spy on their significant other. So if anybody has any questions I'll gladly verify that I do own all of the accounts, that they're on this locked device, but due to the time that has passed they don't show up in the device lists in the accounts (not even in the web version of the Play store), and due to password changes wile it was broken, it won't sink now and allow me to reset the lock through "where's my device."

[Q] Initial issues from a WP7 newbie...

Hi everyone... I'm having some initial problems with my new Optimus 7 device and maybe someone more experienced can help me...
1) After 1min of inactivity, my screen goes totally black... and I cannot seem to unlock it! The only way I found is by holding the camera button, which opens the camera app and then the phone is unlocked... but for sure there is a simpler method! When I try to unlock right after it has locked I can do it by "scrolling up", but after it has gone totally black, it does not work anymore... Is this a bug or am I just stupid?
2) I would like to know the MAC address of my phone... I saw a tutorial for the Samsung Omnia 7 using the MFG app, but the MFG app in LG is different, and I cannot find the MAC there... is there a way to discover the MAC of this device?
I'm sure many more questions will come, but that's it for now...
Many thanks!
Leo.
Alright, it is totally understandable that you may have these issues. First of all, in order to take the phone out of standby, you need to press the 'Power' button at the top right of the phone. It may seem too small at first, but you'll get used to it. When you press the button, the screen lights up and you can scroll up to unlock. As you may have discovered, the 'Camera' button also unlocks the device, but that is a feature to quickly take a photo, not to unlock it.
Secondly, have you installed the MFG app on the LG Optimus 7 yet? If not, bring up the dialer, and dial ##634#, wait for the app to install, and then it will be available like any other app in your 'right flick' list. You can even pin it up to the Home screen if you choose to. Then, enter 277634#*# for the password to enter the app. The following is the path you must take:
7. Engineer Menu > 2. Device Test > 8. WIFI Test > 1. Net.Info.
At which point you should be greeted by the Net.Info. screen showing you the MAC address and the IP address of your device.
Hope this helps. Ask any other questions you have here as well. Welcome to the WP7 Club.

Thanks very much! I was going crazy with this lock screen problem... I think they should state this flow more clearly somewhere... anyway, thanks also for the MAC info, I got it also!
For now that's everything! But I'm sure there will be more in the future...
OK, one more small thing that is bothering me...
Does IE (on WP7 of course) has any means to store passwords and auto-complete them? I even looked for some apps, but they didn't seem to integrate with IE...

As of now, IE does not support any plug-ins, ActiveX (thank God), or any of the regular functions you are used to on a desktop browser. However, I believe autocomplete will come soon. For now though, you should upgrade to NoDo, and use a password manager (I use 7Pass, and Passkeeper), and copy username/passwords from there to your browser...

OK, I was afraid of that... unfortunately this didn't come with NoDo (I already have it
It will be a long wait until the next update (Mango, if I remember the name correctly)... it would be very nice if MS would release smaller updates like this more often... this way maybe they could even deploy it faster, since the changes would be small and so would the probability of a grand failure (I guess)
Anyway, one more question came up yesterday: is there any way to show my contacts birthdays on the calendar? I had this same problem on my Nokia... I never understood the reason to have a birthday field on the contacts if they didn't show up on the calendar!
Thanks!

Just flashed CM7--few questions...

So last night I flashed my nook Color with CM7...works great, love that my nook is now a full featured tab instead of an eReader with some tab features...I have a few questions though:
1. Netflix installed fine, however any video I play is very out of sync and a bit choppy. I'm sitting right next to my router (wireless N 300, 30Mbit connection from my ISP)...is there a workaround?
2. Is there any way to get the stock nook store app back? I tried 'nook reader for Android', but upon first launch it said that the books that I already had weren't compatible with my device, and upon subsequent launches I can't click anything, it freezes as soon as it opens.
3. No matter how many times I set it/reboot my device, I cannot make 'screen unlock protection' work. I've tried the 4 digit code, pattern, and password, and upon setting any of them, turning the screen off and back on, it goes straight to the home screen with no need to unlock.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not sure I am going to be much help but as far as the Netflix issue, you may need to change your build prop to reflect a different model/manufacture. I did this before and I have not had an issue yet. Here is the link for that in the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078123&highlight=Netflix
You may also want to try the rotation build ones. For the Nook Color I love them because my case folds one way, and the rotation allows for proper viewing. Here is the link for that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178425.
I personally use the pattern lock on my device and do not have any issues. Though I think at one point I did (old age getting the best of me), and I am wondering if it works because I use ADWLauncher home screen.
I never really liked the Nook Reader and use only the Aldiko Reader so I cannot answer you on that either.

[BETA] - Caesura Remote Administration and Lost Device Finder

*****************************
Please note: this is the OLD VERSION THAT IS ATTACHED TO THIS POST. THE NEW VERSION IS AVAILABLE AT:
www.gundersoft.com/pages/downloads/caesura
******************************
***********************************************************
* Agreement:
***********************************************************
Firstly, I want to start out by saying that I have put a lot of hard work into making this app and I am trying to make it free so I would appreciate it if we can keep all criticism on this forum strictly constructive. At the moment, it is a BETA and probably has LOTS of bugs (but I am not aware of them). That is where YOU come in. Anybody who is interested may come download this app in BETA and give me feedback and test it and tell me what I can add/remove/fix. I will hopefully be releasing a final release version this month. Its all up to u how successful it is
I had a lot of free time this month so I have started building an app for android. What is Caesura exactly? Hard question to answer. Its a tool box for those who want to remotely control every aspect of their precious phone, even when out of 3G, or its a way for parents to protect unruly children from danger. So far it can be used for all of the following:
Remote Control Phone Via Text Message
Remotely Block Phone Numbers (for your kids phones)
Get Phone status (battery life, wifi, unread messages)
Remotely send text messages
Forward Texts
Find lost phones by turning volume ALL the way up and ringing, vibrating, and flashing the flash.
In the future I also plan to give it these features:
Ability to track lost phones via GPS and Cell towers
Remote Wipe data capability
Remote Lockout
Remote Password Change
Remote Play Sound (Fun for the occasional prank )
And for those with unruly children:
Sms Alerts anytime the phone leaves its current location
Sms Alerts anytime the owner of the phone exceeds a certain speed limit
What I really need are BETA testers. Anyone interested is welcome to download the APK which is attached to this post. Tell me what u think.
Instructions:
Download the APK from www.gundersoft.com/pages/downloads/caesura and install. Next, the first thing that you DEFINITELY want to do is open the APP and press the menu button, and select Settings. In the settings screen, Press the Set Password button and set a password. Also, insure that the "Require password" checkbox is checked.
Then, on the main screen, check the Enable Service checkbox.
Now, to remote control the phone, either install the APP on another phone and use the "Login to Another Phone" button on the main screen, or send the following Sms to the phone WITH CAESURA that you wish to control:
!login
The phone will then prompt you for a password. At this point, you may reply with a password. If you enter a correct password, you will be granted access.
At this point you can send any of the following commands and the phone will treat them as instruction for what to do:
Please note: any texts send while logged in will be sent as commands and will not reach the remote phone's inbox. Do not forget to run the exit command every time you finish.:
!login - first command to be sent. Logs you in.
password [new password] -sets the password for logging into Caesura.
exit - logs out of the service. ALWAYS do this. you cannot log in from another phone while that phone is still logged in.
toast [text to display] - shows a tiny toast window with some text in it for about 4 seconds
sendsms [number] [message] - remote control the phone to send text message to the specified number
torch - toggle system flashlight
panic - sets volume to high and flashes light and displays custom message on screen (BUGGY, causes app to crash if done repeatedly. Work in progress!)
help [command] - gives specific help for the specified command - (Not available for most commands yet)
status - tells the number of unread msgs, remaining battery life, and whether wifi is on or off
unlock - if the lockscreen of the phone is showing, hides it and unlocks the keys
block [number] - blocks the phone from getting texts from the specified number (WORKS!!)
unblock [number] - unblocks number
blocked - sends a list of numbers that you have blocked
forwardto [number] - sets the number to which all forwarded texts will be sent to
forward [number] - forward texts from a number
unforward [number] - stop forwarding texts from this number
forwarded - sends a list of numbers that you are forwarding
Console:
To remote control the device from within another copy of the APP itself, press the "Login to Another Phone" button on the main screen. This open a window that will ask you for a phone number. Type in the number and the phone will attempt to send a login text message to the phone in question. If successful, you will receive a message in return. To select a command, choose it from the drop down list. Click send. Wait a few, (it can be up to a few minutes if your carrier is slow but took only about 3-10 sec. on AT&T) and you will get a response.
ALWAYS SEND EXIT WHEN YOU ARE DONE OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEND TEXTS TO THAT PHONE THAT IS BEING CONTROLLED!!
License:
In the process of compiling a license...at the moment, just think to yourself, if it seems dishonest or sneaky, its probably going to be against the EULA
No reverse engineering
No reposting on other forums or threads. You are welcome to post a link here, but I wish to insure that all users get the NEWEST possible copy since Im constantly updating it

Sounds good so far, I'd suggest to produce a version that can be installed to system partition (for rooted devices) and stores its settings somewhere in a safe place (possibly system partition as well) so it gets factory reset proof. Also it should have a simchecker option so the owner of the device gets a notification if a new sim is inserted. This way it would always be possible to find and remote your device, even if a thief performs a fr and formats the sdcard.
Hope this is not too much to request, but i think this would make it the ultimate anti theft tool.

Will be trying this as soon as I have time(which might be long,but just sayin').Sounds reaaaaally good.
And because I see potential in this,lemme give you an idea.
There are far too many tools with which you can control (Parts of or the whole of) your PC from your phone,but for the opposite there is nearly nothing.The only app I found that allows for remote control of the phone from a PC is Webkey which,while good in its essence,isn't exactly useful.And it does everything over wi-fi only(Not bad for most but anyway).
So,an app that allows remote control of the phone from a PC in a proper manner is more than welcome and I'm willing to pay for it.
*I know Caesura allows for texting remotely etc,but I'm referring to real remote control,where you can use the phone as if you held it with your hand or something*
No matter if you do it or not in the end,I want to congratulate you for the effort.

There is Droid Explorer, it has a screencast option to do this, but you need to be connected to USB.

I came across this by using the search for a remote app on lost devices. Will get myself a copy of the apk, you still need testers? ^^
I think this was abandoned... j use 'android lost' instead, has the same functionality...

This has not been abandoned. You can download it from www.gundersoft.com/pages/downloads/caesura
I still need testers. It's not the same as the other app...it has quite a few more features.

if i undersand it right caesuara will send you my numbers and give you the capability to connect to my phone is that right?
If yes why should i use it?
If i missunderstand i am sorry for asking stupid questions *grin
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
It sends phone number only (for usage tracking by area code...this is a beta thing only). Also, if you set a login password, no one but you can connect.
The only command that can be run without password is factory lockout. Let's say user abuses software and I am contacted by law enforcement: I can disable caesura remotely. That is all.
I've never released this app publicly and I was scared to death it would be misused and I'd be liable. See, all of my beta testers locally have been teens, and they have a way of using this stuff immaturely. This my way to cover my butt just in case

[Q] Unknown PIN - recovery of device

Hi all
I'm attempting to fix a Nexus 7 2012 for a family member. I know that they never used a PIN previously and have been told that the PIN lock was activated when browsing the web and pressing the volume up button. Naturally I'm absolutely baffled as to how that set a PIN code but that's apparently what happened. Is there any Android malware that could have been downloaded which could cause this?
Either way, I've used a variety of resources to attempt to recover the device WITHOUT resorting to a factory reset (which I would like to avoid if possible), however I've reached an impasse so decided to ask about my specific case directly. At this stage I'd be happy to just find a way to somehow remotely backup the device so that the appdata etc. could be restored following a factory reset.
Here are the routes I've eliminated so far:
As this is a PIN code the option to login after 5 incorrect attempts is not available (that's for pattern locks only, unfortunately).
The Android Device Manager has not been set up with this device for Remote Wipe & Lock so I cannot change the PIN code remotely in this manner. Nor are there any other installed apps which would be of any similar use according to the list of installed apps on the corresponding Google Account.
Screen Lock Bypass Pro is incompatible with the device according to Google so I can't install that remotely from the Google Play store. Plus I don't know of any way to sideload it given the below two points (even if that were safe to do given that it's "incompatible"). This would have been sufficient to disable the lock screen long enough to back up the device using say Titanium Backup before wiping & restoring.
USB Debugging is not enabled which means I cannot do anything via ADB. Nor am I therefore able to backup by any means I've looked at thus far.
The bootloader is locked. To unlock you need to wipe the device, which as I mentioned above I want to avoid. This means I can't use a custom recovery to turn on USB Debugging and use ADB to load Aroma File Manager in order to delete the password database files.
So, I would like to know a way to do any of the following without a factory reset:
Remotely enable USB Debugging.
Remotely install Screen Lock Bypass Pro.
Backup the device.
Any other method to achieve the backup of the device or a PIN code reset that I'm currently ignorant about.
Please let me know if this is just impossible. I realise that the PIN code is there for a reason however I'm being persistent in case I'm overlooking something simple. Thanks in advance!
NB: Apologies but I can't yet include any URLs. Please let me know if you need any of my sources for the above information and I'll see what I can do.
Apart from sending a password request to your Gmail or linked email, unfortunately I don't think you can do anything without wiping. If it's a 4 digit pin code try guessing the basics. 1234, 0000, 4321,etc.

I have the Google Account e-mail and password so that isn't an issue. How would the above help to obtain the PIN code or to change it?
If I'm not correct somewhere at the bottom of the screen after entering it incorrect twice or three times, should display an email reset option. Let me try it and get back to you in just a moment.
Edit : was able to get it working for a friend on Android 2.2 but it is no longer working for me on 4.4.2 sorry.
Double edit : It is the pattern lock you can reset from but there used to be a way to do pin reset. I'll update my post if I find anything else. All the best.

No, as I said in my OP that's only for pattern locks.
I don't think there is any way to do it without wiping the device. Try safe mode though it may temporarily disable the pin. That would allow you to backup the device
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Just tried Safe Mode but no luck. It really must be the OS that's responsible and not an app.
Thanks anyway!! I'll just have to wipe it.

Not sure if this is the right section to post this but in need of help/info please!!

So a week ago my galaxy s7 edge from ATT thats now on straight talk was hacked somehow very badly and not even 2 hours later so was my whole home network which was my desktop my laptop and my sons tablet. I have all the things i need to rid whatever vile thing/person/persons that infected me home network wise but my phone is a different story i was told by a local phone shop i could factory reset it using recovery and it would prolly fix the problem but as soon as i went into recovery and seen the little android guy i instantly got booted out of recovery and went right to my lock screen and quicker then id ever gotten to it so i restarted my phone again in recovery mode and instead of seeing the normal android recovery stuff i was greeted with about 4-5 swirling circles for about 2 mins then it took me straight to a blue screen that said odin and it immediately started to download something i had to hold the power and home button down for like a good 45 secs before it finally powered off. When i turned it back on it thankfully went back to my phone but i no longer had control of anything my radio band had been switched i couldnt access any of my folders like gallery, music, videos etc. for like a good 30 mins and i was denied access to google play store and i couldn't make or receive a phone call or a text for like 30 mins then my phone restarted itself 2 times on its own and when it came back on after the 2nd restart i could access my files and google play but the only browser i could use was Chrome. Dolphin which i have set as my default and have used for almost 2 years now without a single issue and the stock Samsung browser would force close on me soon as i opened them and alot it was in chinese like home icon and tab icon etc. and i had like triple the apps running in running services then normal and alot of the normal android system apps you would see running had a 2 at the end of the app name now and i couldn't do anything with them as far as force stopping them or disabling them and not just system apps either but normal ones too like my camera or memo app and the ones i could disable which was very few came right back undisabled and running as soon as i did it. I downloaded 3 different apps just to be thorough to see if i was rooted and all 3 said i wasn't but yet i could go into my files app and go all the way in my recovery file system and see my /sys/ priv-apps folders and others too im pretty sure a non rooted phone would never have access too and i also seen a directory named fake libs and a directory that had a bunch of apps for listening through the mic and turning the front and back cameras on and live broadcasting apps and an app for logging of every keystroke i made and lots of crazy txt files one of the txt files said downloaded mobicore hidden apps and the list of apps looks like they downloaded a whole repositories worth of stuff i was told by another local phone place that the first ones i talked to were idiots and even a full factory reset wouldnt fix anything and id need to flash it or have it flashed if i didn't know how which costed 90 bucks that i didn't and still do not have so i transferred everything i had access to and wasn't denied from to my sd card and did a full factory reset which actually fixed my radio band problem i can now make and get phone calls but still cant text and or receive them even thought straight talk has fixed it on their end like 4 times now so today i decided id try and learn to flash and flash it but was told if it was rooted and i did it a certain way id screw the phone up completely and if it wasn't rooted and i did it a certain way the same results would happen. I actually downloaded win rar and went back into the recovery system directory and the sys/priv-apps/ section and /fake-libs/ section and took like 16-17 screenshots of like only a 10th of all the crazy stuff apk wise and txt document wise that was in there id seen and rar'd it up so i could email it and post them along with this post but every email address i tried to send it to immediately sent me an error email response back saying it didn't exist or the person was not allowed to recieve emails even my own email account that i was sending it from because i thought id send it to myself and download it off my computer but soon as i sent it to myself i got the email doesn't exist error email i also tried sending it to a friend in FB messenger but messenger would force close on me every time id click on it to send it and at the moment i can still access my FB messenger but now can no longer send a message it sends out but never changes from the greyed out check mark so the person on the other end isn't receiving it i also tried calling people this evening but every call i made went straight to busy signal oh also the screenshots are still sitting there in my screenshots folder and i can access them and click on them etc. but im now denied access to win rar i go to click on it and it says access denied and google play says the same thing once again so i cant download another archiving apk and the RAR archive i made to begin with that was in my screenshots folder is gone now just disappeared like that and if i plug my phone into anything to try transfer them that way it says that my s7 edge is not equipped for data transfer but i can unplug it plug it back in and try to transfer a normal picture or an mp3 song or something like that and it will transfer just fine after about a 10-15 second hang/wait time. All i know is i want my phone back from these A-holes and i am willing to flash it just downloaded the newest odin and got the stock ATT android 7.0 rom but im at a loss after that as i do not understand the whole if its rooted do/don't do this or if its not rooted do/don't do that stuff plus seeing as how 3 different apps off google play have said it isn't rooted but yet i have been as far as the folders right before my boot sector and can see hidden system apps and a crap ton of /0/ folders and stuff and somehow have odin for a recovery even though the first time ive ever even been into recovery mode in the almost 2 years i have owned it was when i tried to factory recover it the first time a few days ago and if they have control of my phone like this and i do need to root it how would i even accomplish it without them stopping me?????? Please help me i'm tired of not having control over my phone and being listened too watched and logged by whoever if they might just actually be doing it since i seen the apks and such with my own eyes so anyone that may have any info advice tips or can help me in any way please please please do!!!!

I couldn't get Google Playstore to download pro key to an app just sat there at 100%. Went online stupidly and downloaded from some site. Lots of apps like you said. Muy Norton security doesn't show under device admin there was a blank listing with device admin set! ****ed up but trying to delete all without reinstalling entire phone!!! Just did that!!!!
