Hello
I have already unsuccessfully searched in the forum ...
i have configured in the device my exchange server email...it works everything but it is missing a device encryption which would allow me to read the email than now are completely unformatted.
I am searching for a *.p12 file but no way to find it anywhere...
As an alternative I have downloaded Secure EAS, an application which allows me to view the email perfectly well but, at the same time, downloads the full email and cannot set up 2Kb as a default....
I am getting quite crazy here...would appreciate if anybody could give me a hint...thank you guys!

Hi all!
My GF is getting a new phone and we are having real trouble remembering her Google mail password!
We have tried all the recovery options on-line, but Google are pretty useless at recovering passwords and its driving me insane!
Now, on her old phone, it all still works, and Im just wondering if there is anyway at all as to recover or dig out the password from in the phone somewhere!
Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me insane haha
Cheers
Keith
I found this with google from another forum, password could be stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.gm/database/gmail.db
and related files to google account in
Code:
/data/system/accounts.db
/data/system/sync/accounts.xml
/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/gmail.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail/databases/mailstore.#######@gmail.com.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.talk/databases/talk.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/databases/subscribedfeeds.db
Haven't tried myself cause I have no account of any type, so I dont know if passwords are plain text or hashed...
If this fails, I can share you my method anyway:
Connect both your PC and phone to the same home wifi network.
Install a POP3 server on your PC (ok this could be a pain in the @ss, I give you a hint on a easy one: Argo Mail server)
Activate and run it, then take your PCs IP (let's say it's 192.168.0.2)
Edit your Gmail account from the phone, and change the server from gmail's to 192.168.0.2, edit the ports and set it to use POP and plain authentication without encryption (default port should be 110).
Check your mail from the phone ! You just hijacked your credentials from the gmails secure server to your home mail server, that will of course give you an error because there is no account for that address. But you are then able to intercept the password because it's sent as plain text !! And should work for any email address, as long as you are able to edit the server address in the mailbox settings.
Just don't use it to bash into ur GFs email
not a clue how to get into /data/data/com.google.android.gm/database/gmail.db! haha
But i just tried you 2nd method, and i have the e-mail server setup no problem, but there isnt any options to change the Gmail address/port on the phone :s ARGH!

You can use adb shell to get that file, but I always use my dear QuickSSHd and get it with WinSCP on my pc. If I get any permission error, I open my Root Explorer and mount the root with r/w permission ! With that you can access any file in your phone/memory card.
As for the second, this is supposed to work only if you can change the address of the server and auth method ... if you are using an app with hardcoded server and port (and you could even hijack it that connection to your server) it will still be encrypted and you might not get the password...
Wow! Didn't realize recovering a password would be such a pain in the ass! My issue is I have been using LastPass and last night it decided to lose my Gmail info. Now I can only get to it from my DInc. I had LastPass generate a 20 digit secure password and it is too long to remember it all.
Google, being the dicks they are expect you to jump through hoops to try to get it back and will "get back to you" in 3-5 days. if you haven't tried They want the last password you remember, when you opened the account and on and on....
Reading this second method here, I am unsure exactly what to do. I am a noob at this linux based stuff and not terribly familiar with adb. I barely muddled through all it took to root my DInc and install a custom ROM.
A little more help? Maybe?
EDIT: Got QuickSSHd and WinSCP working together, but I have no idea where to look for the file to change the POP IP address to try to recover this password.
Never mind .....
Hello! I have a little bit different problem.... I have changed the password in Facebook last month and is stored in my Samsung Galaxy 5... How i can recover the password?

Thanks ell3!! It's a really witty solution that i would never have come up with and I just used it to recover my mail password from kitkat's mail app. I used Wireshark to sniff the traffic during the authentication attempt and it worked really fine.

The method is good but you do not need to complicate yourself. Do not install mail server install wireshark and with a r73 or any wifi that can capture promiscuous you can sniff your username and password

For recovery of password from HTC Email app you unbase64 the password field, then you unbase64 the result and then you switch pair of characters like this "0123..." -> "1032..."
Following this procedure your password should be "shooshoom".
Can you please confirm this is correct?
Yes it works but I can't understand exactly how?!
I decode the "YUhOdmIyaHpiMjl0" via base64decode.net and result is: "aHNvb2hzb29t"
What is your mean about "switch pair of characters" exactly?

At first you have "YUhOdmIyaHpiMjl0"
you decode base64, you get "aHNvb2hzb29t"
then you decode base64 the result, you get "hsoohsoom"
now you switch pairs of characters (first with second, third with fourth...) and you finally get "shooshoom"

if your device is rooted then navigate to "data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases" and copy the file "mail.db". Then open given file in some program that can open sqlite database for example SQLiteStudio. Then locate the table with name "accounts" in which are the _password and _outpassword values obfuscated in a way that was described above. If your device is not rooted, then you can extract the file through ADB backup.
nice one bro

I have got the Tablet S for a week, purpose is to check the company email.
Badly, stock email/exchange cannot handle the corporate email address when reply.
It cannot recognize the address, but know only the last name.
Error: Some email adresses are invalid.
Since I am very busy, so I just try copy from other stock and finally found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572901
Delete current Email.apk and Exchange.apk (v.4.1.0010)
with above (4.1)
Now I can reply to my colleages.
FYI.,
- Mine is rooted
- Copy with adb or any root file manager
Seem like few people use Tablet S
I have made a backup of my Samsung Galaxy phone and used that backup to prepare a second device for another person. Both devices now have the same ID that is used when contacting the Exchange (Z-Push) server. You can see that ID while creating a new Exchange account (after selecting the "Exchange" account type), it's usually "androidcxxxxxxxxxx" where the x's are digits
(see codeXgoogleXcom/p/android/issues/detail?id=50371, replace the X's with dots).
Is there any possibility to change that device id afterwards in order to be able to use that device in parallel to the first one? Of course, I intend create new Exchange connections on that second device.
Thanks in advance
I have found the solution myself: There's a textfile /data/data/com.android.email/files/deviceName containing only the ActiveSync device name. After editing and rebooting the device, the new name takes effect.

Hi,
did you ever restore the ID after a factory reset and regain access to a previously existing activesync account?
Thanks!
I think that the ID isn't modified by a factory reset. I assume that you are able to get access to the ActiveSync account again.
Actually a factory reset does.
Guess I'll test it soon
Thanks!
