I have forgotten my Pattern lock on my galaxy S2 running CM9, is there a way to toggle the data on from adb or clockworkmod, I have tried the method of removing it via adb but that doesn't work for me, I can't wipe the phone either.
Did you enter your google password?Also as a last resort you can always wipe data from the recovery.

Hi i have a question about the GT-P7100.
the first one is, Ive been trying to unlock my tab but have read that this will reset my device to its factory settings and wipe the entire internal memory, now is there a way that it doesn't do this?
Unlock as on put the password in?
Why would it do that
Or do you mean using odin because you forgot your password
If you use odin you will lose all data

Yesterday I flashed and when I was done I realized double tapping home wasn't pulling up my cam. I checked the apps its not even there; did I make a mistake along the way? And can I get it back without flashing again? This is the first time I flashed a rom I've been rooted with bootloader unlocked for a while but never tried it til now. Also since im already bothering people is there a way to play netflix on a tv through the hdmi cable?

Have you tried a fresh reflash of the ROM? It has a camera because I have the ROM also.

I had the same problem too, but it was because I didn't wipe data in cwm. I tried the rom that saves data so I thought I wouldn't have to wipe data. I wiped data after I installed the rom (before the theme) and the d3 camera was there, but you lose everything in data.

if you're coming from anything but alien 2 you're best bet is to wipe, and use the wipe version as well for good measure

^ this. and / or use the fastboot wipe, boot the phone into fastboot mode, hook it up to computer, open a command line prompt, navigate to your fastboot folder, and type fastboot -w to wipe all. Some people claim this is equal to or better than the wipe with CWM. I do all.
Thanks for all the input and wiping through fastboot did clear it so my cameras working but now I have other issues I can't lock my phone even though my fingerprint scanner is setup it has no security it turns on with no prompt, my home button doesn't work anymore, and it seems I can't mount the drives to my pc with the Usb cable. Should I try a fresh flash again. ive realized i cant cwm cause it wont find my external sd

Can anyone help me find a site with stock roms for lg e739 or the lg mytouch 4g? I need it to flash my phone back to stock. Any help would be greatly appreciatied.
Tsk Tsk Tsk, on you for not backing up your stock.
You could always try the LG Mobile Support Tool
www[DOT]lg[DOT]com/us/support/mobile-devices/phone-support
I havent tried to use this method yet so I'm not 100% sure it puts you back to stock, as it came out of box.
Download and install LG mobile support tool, run LG Mobile Update. Click on Customer Support in the menu, then click recovery. Remember to have your e739 connected via usb.
I did make a backup. It just won't restore. Even tried removing the Android secure file from my backup and got a md5 sum mismatch. Downloaded someone else's backup and it shut my phone off before the restore was complete just like my backup before I removed the Android secure file. Now I'm stuck wit cm7.2. Should I flash cwm before I restore like I did when I installed cm7 the first time?

You got the md5 error because you removed something from the nandroid...thus changing the ckecksum.
I would say try flashing that nandroid that you downloaded. Makin sure its named correctly. Without removing any files from it.
Also try to redownload that stock nandroid backup n try again. Btw which one was it?
Did you wipe cache system and data partitions before flashing nandroid?
Do not wipe sd card.thats where nandroid would be.
On my e739 during flashing nandroids Ive had it get stuck at lg logo once or twice. All I did then was use adb reboot-restore...then tried reboot from cwm again...if that didnt work then do adb again to get to recovery and flash nandroid again...dont give up. If you want stock keep trying.
You could flash ur cm again to get working on ur phone again but thats not what you want is it?

If you cant boot into an android you can use adb to push files to ur sd card...If you dont want to do that then ull have to flash cm n use file manager of choice.

I would offer my e739 stock backup...but i got it from a third party..and it has extra bloat and carrier iq on it. so im keeping it in a safe place.

I don't know how to get adb to work. I downloaded the sdk and jdk but don't know how to set the path. I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats before I tried to restore. Still running cm7 but upgraded to the RC. It's quite smooth. Scared to try another restore since each time it stops I get a bootloop and have to hard reset to get back into recovery. And Odin doesn't support my lg. :-( any other suggestions?

If you lived close enough I would willingly trade. No lol. Real talk! But have you tried unlock root? Our worked like a charm on my e739.

To get adb working put phone in debugging mode
applications>development>tick debugging mode
Connect via usb..start>run>cmd type: cd c:\androidSDK\platform-tools
press enter
you can now type adb commands
type: adb devices hit enter that will show you connected devices
to get into recovery type: adb reboot recovery
device should now reboot into recovery

Well still not able to get adb for ask to work but on a brighter note, I finally got my phone to restore to stock. Wiped everything 3x's factory/data reset, cache, and dalvik. Then I formatted my system,hit restore, and voila! It went back. Back to cm7.2 RC since TMobile now wants to charge extra to tether. Even tried ICS or cm9 but think I'm gonna wait till there is a more stable version

I bought an atrix on-line and it was sent with a pin lock. They obviously did not know to wipe the data. Can I get around it somehow? I would like to unlock BL and root etc so I can actually use the phone. Any help is appreciated.
Ok I found an app called "unlock bypass" but it needs to be installed to the phone. Does anyone know how to push an app through adb?

Not sure what the command is in fastboot. Also does the phone have to be previously put into debugging mode. Because it is not. Thanks
Hello,
during the last weeks I have massive problems with my S3 it freezes all the time, also when I just restart it freezes at pin stage or lock screen. Its horrible especialy when you use it as Navigation system and you are not noticing that it crashed but it still shows the screen from the moment it crashed.....
So I want to completely start fresh, but I have installed Avast also on root to protect my phone. So do I have to deinstall it first or which is the best way to completely reset?
Thanks in adavance!
Best SKYY
Boot into recovery and do a wipe/factory reset. You're rooted, so you probably have a custom recovery, you can do that easily. Else, you can also reset from the settings. I'm not sure if Avast prevents it, I don't think so.

If it is not working you can flash superwipe (factory reset) or mega wipe (wipes anything, no files on phone or internal whatsoever). Both done via recovery. You can find them here in the forum.

You can also flash stock rom via odin and start completely from the beginning
R: Complete Wipe to Stock while Avast is installed?
You dknt need the antivirus if you flash from scratch. once you flash your phone will be virgin, therefore not capable of being instantly infected (unless u do some stupid things or have some sort of infected kernel or stuff) so u can just go and install avast from play store again.
Thou i do not believe an antivirus is needed on these phones yet...
