[Q] [SOLVED] Forgot my pattern & Email (Password still in mind) - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hallo,
I am using CM7 on my little Samsung Galaxy Y, but forgot the pattern I set.
I tried a lot, and after that, I remembered it again, but it is not useful anymore, it is asking me for my Gmail account, I KNOW the password, but can't remember the email anymore.
How can I get my SMSs (I only need them for very important number there).
Thank you.

Do you have usb debugging on you device? If yes, download android sdk and run those commands:
adb -d shell
sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;
.exit
exit
adb reboot

Click to collapse
or
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
exit
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you dont have, i think a factory reset is needed :/

This might be silly but it might work too (I have not tried but heard that it works) Insert sim card in your Galaxy Y, Dial your number from any where else (Frens cellphones you might pay him for that) Accept the call Don't end call rather press the button one at middle (it minimize your calling process) and navigate to Message and note that number.In that process try this too If play store can be started while minimized calling download any lock-screen application apply that And you should not flash it.
If above didnt work few suggestions Just copy the clockwork mode to SD card (Send it via SD CARD) Now backup the OS and flash it to default rom if you want to use it now for calling purpose or using it and you can revert it's backup and try entering password again in future.
If it really worked Please look at thanks button below

This is a really good tip man!
But if he recover the backup the password will return too I think.

newbie with android

Ok let me see if I can explain my problem right. I got an android locked to t-mobile USA I am planning to but an unlock code for this phone but the problem that I encountered before buying the code is this this phone come with an application that when it start up it asks you to to set up your gmail account but I am in mexico I am not interested in having a gmail account how can I delete this application or stop it or skip it otherwise I am not going to be able to use the phone what can I do I like this phone but it is useless in the state that it is help
Not having a gmail account means you wont be able to use the market, your contacts wont sync, the included calendar app wont work very well. There may be other issues as well.
Do you hate google or what? A gmail account is free.
no thats not the reason I dont hate google it is just that at the moment when my android turns on it start up with this message
Setting up your T-Mobile G1 I tried to register but it wont register and I can not even use the phone functions the android stays on trying to register this what I do
i try to register then a message comes up that says that it may take up to five minutes but after a while another message show up and it says
there is a problem comunicating with google servers
this could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provioned for data services. If it continues call customer service
well the bottom line I really want to use this phone but how can I get pass this registering bull
here in mexico we run into this problems all the time our cell carriers suck basically i just want to be able to use the phone functions only if anyone can help I will apreciate it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316
You may need to downgrade to RC29 depending on what version your phone is currently running.
Also, I'm not sure if your carrier, or any at all, block by IMEI if a phone is reported stolen. I'm not accusing you of stealing, but, you know...

Ok... Long story short:
The G1 is a "google" phone and is dependant on data services and a google account to operate. That being said, the only way you can work around this without having a solid data connection (through your cell provider) is to go the process to root your phone and use one of the builds that allows you to skip google registration. I know TheDude's build lets you, I'm not sure which other builds do. By skipping the sign-in process you would still be able to use wireless internet to get your phone to sync with google once you turn on wifi.
Of course, your phone will have to be unlocked if it's not already.
I suggest you look at the development forum and start reading the links from the "round-up" sticky on the very top.
Thank you everybody for your quick responses but it seems that i am still stuck in the setting your account bull.- i try to root my android but i can even get to format my m sd card as a follow instruction in how to root phone it says to wait until mount show up on my screen how am i suppose to do that when my phone wont get past the setting up account screen can i format m sd card with adapter and then load the rc29 and put it back on my android and follow the rest of the intructions will that work i dont want to try it just like that has anyone else done like this is this going to brick my android.

Yes, if you have a card reader you could put the dreaimg.nbh, update.zip and recovery on your sd card and never have to mount your phone to the pc.
Or just use another device with a memory card reader or writer. Or even better, install ADB, go into the recovery window by pressing home+power and on your computer enter the ADB interface and type in
adb mount /sdcard/
adb push (location of firmware).nbh /sdcard/
and voila.
Hey I downloaded android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2 isnt this file suppose to have everything I need to work in my android but it doesnt where is ADB at and I am suppose to have and update zip and restore it doesnt say anything about that in development. I am liking this but it seems difficult but thats why I like it just show me where this files are at and I promise that I will at least brick my android lol not really but I hope I get it working. Well this are the instructions in how to root.
Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode:
Hook your phone up to your computer using a USB cable and then wait for the notification to show up in your title bar of your phone.
Click the notification, and then click "Mount".
A new removable disk should show up on your computer. Right click it and select Format, and select FAT32 as the file system type.
Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAMIMG.nbh file to the SD card. (RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)
Turn the device power off.
Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode. You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card. If you don't see that, make sure you followed the instructions properly.
As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
After it is finished, perform the restart your phone.
see it doesnt say that I need and update zip and a recovery. But I might be wrong so where are this files at

I have cut to the chase and given you the direct links in the stickies that you were supposed to have already read if you were following the very good advice from skri11a.
After reading this, you should have all of the knowledge you need to make your phone work... If not, come back here and we can clarify any further questions.
If you continue to refuse to help yourself, there is a good chance that this thread will be locked, closed, fired, deleted, or shot into space.
Well I am back after reading and trying all that I have to say and I am probably going to get this thread close is this. I can get adb to run I downloaded sdk copied to C installed drivers for my android and nothing happens. I also tried using a memory adapter and formated my sd to fat 32 and then copied DREAIMGRC29 and then tried to run it and nothing happen I am the dummest person in the world.
I don't think this is the phone for you. Just sayin.

Did you happen to rename/extract the DREAIMGRC29? It needs to be the DREAIMG.NBH. Also "Dumbest" not "Dummest".

he still can call.
and i'll even list the number: 1-800-937-8997.
all they need is the IMEI number, then they give the correct unlock code contingent on that.
and it'll be obvious that he's in mexico and needs his g1 to be unlock, so i'm sure they'll supply that code for him.
granted he's been with tmo for 90 days or more.

SD-ROM: Screen locked with pattern and cannot unlock

I forgot the pattern of my lockscreen, tried too many times and cannot unlock with google account.
Unfortunately wifi, data and developer mode is turned off.
Was able to locate and extract gesture.key but how can I remove it from data.ext4?
SD-ROM is containing all my phone numbers, messeges etc.
Please help, thank you in advance.

How have you found and extracted gesture.key?
To remove something from data.ext4 you could mount the file in Ubuntu/Linux which will grant you access to the files.
Code:
[CENTER]sudo mount -o loop data.ext4 ~/Desktop/data
then edit it and unmount it
umount data.ext4[/CENTER]

Had a quick look and if you aren't given the option to reset it, after ~5 failed attempts you could try downloading lock screen bypass from the market to see if that works, I'll attach a copy of the apk if you cant get it.
Just tried it and its 5 failed attempts for me, then the offer to reset.
unfortunately this did not work for me. think it is locked at a different point.

I'm glad that you could solve it and unlock your phone, but I am curious, why it didn't let you unlock using Gmail without data.
Sometimes, I unlock the phone using gmail and pass EVEN with airplane mode on and no WiFi. Isn't it supposed to check with your already registered gmail account? thus no need for an internet connection?
Anywa, enjoy your phone.

Glad you got round it, I didn't mention anything adb wise as I though you said debugging was turned of, at least you've learned something. And being able to edit the data.ext4 on a desktop has it's benefits.

Yes Marvlesz, was also strange to me. Tried the same with my ICS Pad without any connection while I read somewhere that even wifi should not work only when the device is connected to USB!? Maybe it depends on the version? My phone was on ICS 4.0.3 (IceCreamTosti_v0.10_AOKP_M4) with Tyatung Kernel 2.6.32.
Now after all my installation got broke but I can access my stuff, finally save it and reinstall newer version while I have a good reason now to do that

Yes HypoTurtle, debugging was off and I did´nt use adb. With your kind help I mounted data.ext4 and changed settings.db in linux.

The only solution is a data wipe through recovery.. A message to your friend.. Next time
1.remember your pattern
2.add a google account
3. Have a nandroid backup available with screen lock disabled
You will need :
Android SDK
----
- Connecte Phone with PC
and run This adb command
" adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key "
reboot then , recreate a patern lock

Is it gonna give us a chance to recreate the pattern.??
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**

after reboot you can passe the lock using any patern
after that change it or disable it

Let here try: if she remembers gmail address she should type it in. Since she doent know password she should type "null" without he quotes and she should be able to access the phone. Both email address and password should be in lower case (small letters ). I haven't tried it but got it on the net. I doesn't hurt her to try it though.
Frankly best option for a noob is to do factory reset and loose all data (tell her her pics and music will not be lost a they are on sdcard iand if in doubt take out sdcard before factory reset/ data wipe).
No need to download sdk and possibly samsung kies and am sure she did not enable usb debugging on her phone

[Q] How to reset password, when data and wi-fi are turned off?

My friend has Samsung GT-S6102, and in trying to change the pattern lock, he did something wrong, and now is locked out.
The next step is to enter his Google account login and password, which will let him log on and create a new pattern lock. The problem is, the phone has Wi-Fi and Data turned off.
I think he is now dead in the water, with no options left but to factory-reset the phone.
Is there any way to get the phone to connect to Google, even with Data and Wi-Fi not connected? If we could get 'data' or 'wi-fi' on, we would be all set - but unless there is some diagnostic way to do this from a connected PC, I can't see much else we can do.

Try rooting the device & flash cwm. Then use aroma filemanager to go to the path, '/data/system' delete the file gesture.key

How about if I both hit "thanks" (already done!), and also say thanks!!
I've been here to xda-developers before, and now have my own device to use to learn rooting and installing custom ROMs. Haven't done it yet. I suppose this might be a good time to learn, but if I mess up, my friend isn't going to be very happy with me.
Let me ask you two questions - if the device is "locked", how can I even root the device? Doesn't it have to be on, running, and ready for whatever it is I need to do? A second question might be how I find the information here to learn how to 'root' a GT-S6102, but I can try that in the morning, when I'm a bit more awake (am now in India, and it's 1am).
I was thinking there might be some kind of diagnostic code that could be sent to the phone from a PC, even though the USB connection is probably not on right now, to "wake up" the data or wi-fi, which would enable the normal process of connecting to Google to continue.
I think you're suggesting I root the phone and flash a new OS. If there is a way to do that, isn't there a way to just turn on data or wi-fi?
I found this from a list of codes:
#*3282# Activate/Deactivate Data
Now, if I could only find a way to get that command to the locked phone....
If I do some of the steps you suggested, can I get to a step where I can give the phone those instructions?
here's the full list:
http://www.netlife.co.za/tech-guide...hones/113-samsung-secret-codes-and-hacks.html
1 - questions belong in question & answers section NOT development section
2 - answer has already been given plus iv posted it loads of times so please use search facility
Download aroma file manager & place on route of sd card (take sd card out & put in pc card slot or card reader)
go into CWM (flash temporary cwm zip if kernel doesn't have cwm)
mount system
flash aroma file manager
goto data/system
delete gesture.key
delete password.key
Restart
Thanks to all of you!
Sorry for the thread being in the wrong place....
I just came back here to say I found what might be the answer, which in fact originally came from xda-developers.com Here's the link, but since it points back to here, I probably don't even need to post it:
http://androidlegend.com/how-to-crack-unlock-pattern-lock-of-any-android-device/
Anyway, thanks to all of you for your help. Without this thread, I'd never have known where to look for an answer.
Any further questions I will post in the appropriate place.
Go In Recovery Mode And Wipe Data and Wipe Cache Partition ..........
Thanks to everyone for all the help. It's no longer an issue. They took the phone to a shop and had it reset to new, so it's in effect a brand new phone again. I guess it will at least be faster now.
I find it hard to believe that Google did things this way - it's good for security, but if someone's phone has data and wi-fi off, and a kid plays around with it and it gets locked, they've in effect, killed it.
I guess it's time for me to stop reading, and start doing. That's the only way I'm going to learn this stuff. Again, thanks!

I find it hard to believe that Google did things this way - it's good for security, but if someone's phone has data and wi-fi off, and a kid plays around with it and it gets locked, they've in effect, killed it.
I guess it's time for me to stop reading, and start doing. That's the only way I'm going to learn this stuff. Again, thanks!

did u reset d phone?? if no here is a work around .
1) insert a sim card that has incoming call facility (u must know the sim card no)
2) make a call and receive it
3) don't hang up.. after receiving when u r in call window it will let u access d notification dropdown window.. now u can activate wifi or data network mode as u wish..
so no need to reset!!

I know this is a stupid question (I am new), but what does the clear data option do? Wipe/reset the device of my personal stuff?
You will not need data,wifi to sign into google Account..

yes it will wipe all user data - this includes installed apps (not system apps) contacts sms and so on
if you want to remove the lock screen password you can do it without wiping data
see my post in this thread

recovery mode
So when i do this process does my active SIM have to be in the device as well?

does the sim have to be in the phone when signing in and/or doing the workaround (or any method)?

you can flash this zip in cwm with system and data mounted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2192613&d=1376652536
it will remove the lock screen - if the lock screen does appear just enter anything you like
your sim card does not have to be in to do this although if your phone is set to not allow access without a sim card in you will need to edit your build.prop to allow phone use without sim

This is working. Easy oem unlock on samsung
When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account
When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device

I found a way to remove FRP on Samsung J5(6) SM-J510FN model, Android 6.0.1 without flashing the phone, or using Odin, RealTerm or other SW tools, it might work on other samsung devices running Marshmallow 6.0.1 too.
As a new user, I am not able to enter any URLs for the files. do a search for the following APKs instead: Android 6GAM.apk and FRP_REMOVE.apk
Download the above APKs on your comuter, copy them to microSD and insert it in the phone.
Turn on the phone, connect to wi-fi, once you get to the screen when you need to enter your email, press on "mike" icon and choose Settings>>Text Shortcuts>>Add>> and type random text, select it all, then long tap and choose "Assist".
Tap on "No, Thanks" and Type "Galaxy Apps". Galaxy App will come up, tap on it and sign in when launched.
Install ES File Explorer, when launched, go to "sdcard" dropdown>>select the microSD card with the apk files. Install Android 6GAM.apk first, once complete, tap on "Done", install FRP_REMOVE.apk, once done, tap on "Open". This will launch Google Account Manager.
If you are not familiar what to do here, then do the following:
- Look for “Type Email and Password”>>Tap to launch it>>Tap on Try
- Tap on the three dots and choose “Browser sign-in”>>OK
- Sign in with your google account details and wait until you get back to “Google Account Manager”
- Tap on the back button until you get back to the phone setup wizard, you can go as back as to wi-fi settings.
- You can now follow the setup wizard, it will tell you that a new account has been created.
- Once you can access settings on the phone, you can do another factory reset, this tyme without FRP.
Hope this helps
Good luck!

I couldnt find this method on xda and I dont know why but it works
Got two old Samsung J5(6) from work. We don't know de original name anymore. The one we mostly use don't work.
Is there a option the get them to work again without paying someone for a hack?
I know how to flash a rom, but I read that doesn't work anymore? (I did this things on the galaxy 1 and 2... so that old...)
I tried some tutorials on the web, but they are old and don't work anymore.
Anyone a new howto that does work?
