How to Bypass unlock home screen - M.O.J.O. General

I got an Madcatz MOJO Console, it is good and interesting. But on a day, when I start up the console, it asked me enter a password to unlock home screen, indeed, i don't know what happen since don't have any area for setting password of it. So, at the moment, I can not do anything with this.
You can see my problem in attached picture.
Could anyone pls let me know how to solve the problem.
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards,
Tom

tryied just hiting enter (empty password)?
Someone must have set it to activate the lock?
maybe this would help you:
http://droidlessons.com/how-to-reset-your-android-lock-screen-password/

Thank you for your reply.
But problem is when I'm checking on other console, i could not find place to set password for device.
I search on internet to find how to bypass the lock code at home screen, I tried all but unsuccessful since almost methods required root permission.
Luckily, I still connect and debug device via my computer, I tried reboot into recovery, but it only shows the android robot and yellow triangle then stuck.
If like android phone, we can hold volume+power button to show command line in recovery but I couldn't do like this with my console . On console doesn't have any physical button.
I also send an email to support center on Mad catz website but stil not receive any feedaback.

Were you ever able to figure this our. I have a M.O.J.O. that has the same issue

Still not yet. I contacted with Mad catz and seem that I have to return device for inspecting.

Apologies for the inconvenience. :C
As precaution for others, you can setup the Android Device Manager to remotely lock/reset password for your MOJO -- similar to Find my iPhone on Apple devices. However, it will need to be set up while you still have access to the device.
To set up, go to a http://play.google.com while on a PC, and then go to "Settings > Android Device Manager". Ensure the MOJO is connected online, and then locate the device and choose the "Setup Lock & Erase" option. A notification should pop up on the MOJO. Click on it to finish allowing Android Device Manager access to the device.
Once setup, you'll be able to remotely ring, lock, erase, and reset lock screen password as necessary. More info can be found here:

[Q] locked out from device, not accepting Google Id...

After following a process elsewhere on XDA to set up a pin lock, (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848962&highlight=lock) I've been locked out of my device, with the response Too Many Pattern Attempts.
It says: "to unlock, sign in with your Google account." But I do that, and receive an invalid login response. (This is without active wi-fi, which I can't access for the settings!) I'm not certain that it's trying to connect online, but that's my only explanation for why my google credentials aren't working.
I was hoping I could use ADB to reset the PIN again, but ADB doesn't appear to recognize the Nook; maybe it's not opening up the device to USB until it gets unlocked. And ADB Wireless is something I can't even access until I get past this!
I'm currently on the road so I can't go back to my home wi-fi... and I'm not even sure that the nook would connect to the home wi-fi anyway.
At the very least, I'd love to find out how to boot it in recovery mode, maybe re-install and re-root everything. I've seen a few posts online about rebooting in recovery mode, but nothing consistent.
Any suggestions?

[Q] Black screen of death

Hi everyone,
I hope anyone can help me with this.
After trying to change lcd density with apps from the playstore.
The mojo brings me a black screen, no logo at startup, the only thing what i can do is the root procedure, it displays me " Key driver not found.." etc.. but nothing after that.
I don't know how to restore it, or factory reset it, or acces to build.prop etc.. and also i can't acces to devices via usb => computeur(adb not listed)
If anyone get an idea, it will be great.:good:
LCD density? What app did you use? Why are you adjusting an LCD setting on a device that does not have an LCD screen? Try unplugging it for 15 minutes and then plug it back in.
EDIT: I see what you did. You used LCDDensity to try to increase the resolution. Not a great idea. You probably picked some value that is way outside of what the Mojo will display. Since this app requires root you had to grant privileges to it in order to do this. I don't know if you will be able to fix it until some method if sending a recovery image to the device (and a recovery image for that matter) is revealed.
EDIT 2: Can you try this:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?12075-FOUND-MAD-CATZ-M-O-J-O-RECOVERY-MENU
If you can get to be able to choose "Yes" for factory reset maybe it will help. It's something to try.
re :Black screen
I put a windows typical keyboard and try the mojo recovery menu procedure, always same black screen.
Now i found an image.zip call "mojo-signed-ota-MO0202-WW.zip" but how to use it now, maybe via fastboot or anything else because it's only way for now that displays me something from mojoto hdmi monitor.

Keep us updated. I am curious to see what their solution is. Either RMA the unit or reveal a recovery method to you. If the latter, I am certain many folks (myself included) would really like to know!

Hi,
We will see, i posted a ticket on friday, and a guy "symphatic" told me on live chat support that it would take 2-3 open days to have an answer.
I saw in another post on xda that one guy have similar problem but due a rom update i think.
I will keep you up to date with this an we'll check at the same time if they have a good technical support.
Thanks guys.

Do not play with a build prop on a m,o,j,o it wil screw it up likely,but if you can access a terminal on the console or command it in windows/linux/mac osx etc somehow,then you can reset the screen resolution,to do that use this set of commands in a terminal for the mad catz m.o.j.o if possible: type: su ,no comma though then hit the enter key, then type: am display-size reset ,no comma though and again hit enter key.
If a terminal is accessible which i guess it should be if usb debugging option was left turned on if usb debugging was turned off before this your [email protected],but don't ask me how you do this as i am not a developer,but it would reset the resolution on the console to factory and allow it to work for sure if performed on a terminal within the console which you cannot get access to at present,but i do think it may be possible in windows over usb debugging somehow?
I found the recovery menu i covered it in a thread here,but it only says erase not erase/restore so i guess it is dangerous doing that,the other question is does root work on erase if it does restore it,and or did altering your resolution alter the build prop file which erase/restore may/may not restore to factory after such changes making erase option in recovery dangerous although you could try it but be warned it could wipe/brick the device possibly.1st try to use the commands i gave it's easier and safer to toy with.It also 100% worked within the os when i used resolution changer pro and got it stuck in a shrunken screen size you couldn't see all the icons in.
the link to the post about accessing the recovery menu is at the very top of this post #8 post, it links to my freaktab page on how to access the recovery menu,you can only use a usb keyboard for this in usb 2.0 port though to be on the safe side remove any sd card carrying data on it if you choose to erase do not erase cache etc though at a guess?To be completely safe ask what each erase option does on the site 1st otherwise you may completely brick your m.o.j.o at present it is ok but semi bricked and still would function if you can get terminal up to alter the resolution.

Yeah i saw your method,but in my case i can't acces to an adb shell (termnial) to put "am display reset" command, i'm on macos and i can't list my mojo attached via mac's terminal in adb mode, (i've done kill...start...adb server) my mojo only appear in fastboot mode (fastboot-mac devices) it seems that it can't past the bootloader.
I've found a ROM named "mojo-signed-ota-MO0202-WW.zip" but can't flash it coz i think this rom can only be applied via recovery mode (clockword etc..).
I know that in fastboot mode we can also flash a rom, it has command to do it, but need the right files(img, etc...) which is not in that rom.
I know also that we can make system.img etc... from a rom like this but i'll be laborious, coz i am not develloper too, and i just have some basics on linux distro's but if mad catz don't give me a method to unblock my box or give me a fully stock rom, i will try it.
Well, we'll see i'll keep you up to date.
Thanks.

TMK, fastboot only flash the boot rom, at least that's what in the v2 update the sys files are just overwritten, but not a rom.
I dont think fastboot can flash the nand/OS partition.
Yeah if you get a system rom and way of installing, I too would be interested.
I'm guessing it's something they can't openly distribute...
I guess it's something we can do ourselves... just have had the time to research...

The recovery menu has update from zip file so why not try it? Put the file on an sd card and see if recovery install from zip allows that 202 update to be done without being inside the os,It's going to be risky but in your case if they opt not to fix it free,and i gather they won't without charge it's not going to hurt, as you've voided the warranty any way messing without being insulting.

Hi Dave,
I had the same problem after a reboot of the m.o.j.o ...
I only could push an image on it but without success.
The hotline sent me this link :
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?12075-FOUND-MAD-CATZ-M-O-J-O-RECOVERY-MENU
But the keyboard was not recognized.
I think the best way is to push all the rom "mojo-signed-ota-MO0202-WW.zip" on it.
Because the image is only 6Mb against 240Mb.
Do you fix it ?

Do you fix it ?[/QUOTE]Yes that's my freaktab page i made lol.But it's going to have to be usb not a ps2/usb adaptor,it does work trust me if your using usb 2.0 port it works with a usb keyboard,the only time it won't is if your not 100% right in how you press the keys.
can get it on my usb keyboard a cheap 5 quid generic keyboard,so i seriously doubt you can't.Unless your pressing the order of the key differently
you need to :boot from cold with keyboard in 1st read bottom paragraph then start step 1.
Step 1.1st press alt then print screen and then i hold them in as you are pressing them in that order after turning on the m.o.j.o before the light comes on though not after it will not work if you do that,doit very quickly
Step 2.Then you see the blue light appear release and repress i key holding the rest down still keep i key held in for 5 seconds release press again for five seconds release press down for 5 seconds keep doing that until white writing appears keep those alt and print screen keys on all the time whilst doing the 5 second press of i key,until white writing appears.
Step 3.Once done you'll land at a broken robot screen tust me you can do it,once there you need to press the windows symbol key hold it on, then press the print screen key hold that on as well keep both held on and finaly press home key this means you have all 3 keys held in now press down arrow with the keys held on if not working press up arrow with all 3 other keys held on.You will 100% go to the recovery menu i guarentee that.
JOB DONE
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
If it doesn't work turn the console off at the wall and then leave a bit turn back on then repeat until it works keep doing that,it maybe the keyboard isn't picking up if you use reboot in comand or if your using a reboot tool to reboot it use the power for the mains to turn it off on not a reboot command,it needs to be done from a cold boot.

Bad news for my mojo.
First of all, mad catz did the same thing as French_Dev (Salut à toi le français), they sent me the PHYSC-1 method to recover my mad catz.
After that i have retry the method with another keyboard, and i thought i recovered it coz i was able to see the android logo(robot screen broken), and recovery menu, but impossible to have access to data factory reset.
And now Ladies & Gentlemen...
I give my mojo to a friend who sometimes unblocks android phones, thinking he will find the way...
But he bring's me back the mojo now bricked, no blue logo at startup, and no access to fastboot mode with the male male usb cable.
He told me that he finds an another rom tu put on it, but after cleaning and flash it ===> bricked...
I can i confirm that the PHYSC-1 method work, but in my case i couldn't apply data/factory reset or maybie it's coz keyboards which i have.
Now i must find the way to unbrick it if it's possible. (i think it's possible for sure, linux based...)
Thanks for all your replies guys.

It would be bricked he's attempted some or should i probably say has likely flashed clockwork mod or some rom for eg.a samsung phone or nexus tablet etcetc.Which they don't work for any other tablet or phone because they are device specific,hence the need to flash only a zip file in recovery and only a zip file from mad catz not any other rom or backup is made for a m.o.j.o except the mad catz m.o.j.o 202 update zip file so nobody should try anything else like erase etc only flashing the provided update from mad catz at a guess it won't need previous cache erase or any other erase because the zip when inside the os seems to fromat it for you so should do the same in recovery mode in theory to.Try all over again to get to recovery with a usb stick plugged in somehow with the 202 update on if possible,i am of the 'assumption' that is how it is done with a usb stick in usb 3.0 port with the zip on it but not 100% i have never done it nor do i need to chance a rick of a working m.o.j.o mate? Really feel for you though it can't hurt to tinker with it some more though now can it?
OK sorry ,may have misread a bit there,so before giving it a mate you did flash the 202 update file yes/no?
Secondly if you did flash it it tried to boot logo the lot yes/no?
Thirdly you gave it a mate who [email protected] it up for you yes/no?
Sorry i see what you mean now,you don't erase you flash the zip 202 update zip job done mate that's all no erase no nothing else to do barr that i am guessing,but you need it on usb stick or think about this,if it was downloaded on the m.o.j.o prior this 202 update zip and you click update from zip in recovery menu,i think it may ask where giving you the choice to look for the file on what ever device it may be on including the console,so you may not need a usb stick?
Perseverance is the key if at 1st you don't succeed try try and try again trust me i have used that motto to my advantage many times it's the only thing i learned from school.
That's how i found that recovery menu,it's how i found my tv secret menu last night,it's how i found all necissary flash files for and flashed a haipi phone,how i flashed my mates bb 9820 curve etcetc,i never stop trying,i have recovered iphones before and that haipai when bricked etctc so you have nothing to loose in persistantly trying it again and again until you have found the way to flash it over with 202 update.zip
I always find ways to mod (hack) devices on my own from what i label as ethical hacking although it's not the real terminology but it sort of is in a way,i basically scour forums finding bits here and bits there puting them together to find the complete path to flashing something,i may resort to taking one sentance in a forum then another then another finaly i get the full guide and i flash it,so my view is it's a sort of ethical hacking it's diuling infromation to perform a hardware hack in an ethical way as modding a rom is legal 99.9% of the time.
It's how i managed to get pi****u on a k-r42android tv box and then upgrade it to ubuntu trusty tahr 14.04 by looking at ubuntu forum posts for commands to upgrade the installation,the reason was it's ubuntu on pi****u os so therefore it can be upgraded as is done in ubuntu.So the story goes where there is a will there is a way.

Hi there my name is cesar and i have a big issue with my lumia , i was in the insider program and one day my phone just wont boot up , it was on black screen all the time so i flashed with the microsoft recovery tool and it works then when it turn on ask me for a recovery key or my account so i decided to removed from my devices on microsoft account and it was successful and i receive an email with that confirmation and i flash the phone again but when it turn on the phone still ask me for the recovery key or my account so i decided to enter my microsoft account but an error just pop out "could not turn off reset protection Ooops we ran into a problem trying to turn off reset protection. make sure you have a network connection and try again later " it's the same error since the first day i try to unlock my device

What should i do
Thid when i skip the android setup wizard
This at start up android setup wizard
Any help here?
odd question but... where did you get the phone? can you root it? unlock the boot-loader? it is locked to whatever that company it via their MDM policy.
https://www.linkedin.com/company/groupama-protection-juridique/
if you can unlock the bootloader i assume you could restore via fastboot and that would unlock it. then again, it may brick you phone.
or thy this
On the managed mobile device, go to Settings.
Navigate to Security.
Select Device Administrator and disable it.
Under Settings, go to Applications.
Select ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus and Uninstall the ME MDM App.

Enable install from unknown sources in settings security section, install apk and open connect wired/wireless mouse press get root .wait, if it is stuck at 90% press back and a error will show, just exit the app delete it in settings app section, turn the tv off and turn on again, go to settings about tv/about tablet press model number for 6 times until you will get developer option, press status copy the ip adress of your android tv, enter developer option turn on USB debugging, download adb, download adb run for windows: https://dl.uploadgram.me/618fc31b84902g?raw
install it then open press 1 then 3 then type the ip adress of the android tv, press enter then enter 2 then enter 5.
Did it work?
