If you aren't allowed to install a root explorer app ..the odds aren't good ..
But depending on how brave you are ....you could push an entirely new rom image ....if you can get into download mode..
My initial thought was to push clockwork mod via Odin ...then install a root explorer apk and delete the surelock apk ...but it's likely going to block that ...so I went back to the new rom idea...
I suppose you could do an emergency restore through kies ...but you would need to block data from restoring the apps again ...
Gosh ...that's a tough one to be sure ...g
How about instead of getting fired, leave it alone.....
LOL ....
Well yeh ....there's always that option ....but mine is a lot more fun ....
And you can plead insanity or a virus attack ...g
they locked keyboard options and we log in thru password with spell check and autocorrect so it makes inputing a password very difficult .cannot log into phone to use annoying

It can be bypassed by restarting the smartphone in safe mode. I'm not sure how to solve that.. maybe complete encryption of the device?
how to unlock surelock??
Hello community!
I have a lenovo Tab 4 10'. it is locked by surelock. I tried resetting by entering in to safemode-->wipe data. but there is no such option in the recovery mode (wipe data/factory reset). Is there any other way that i could reset my device?
Long press the poweroff option to enter safemode, provided safemode is not locked in surelock (if safemode and recovery is also locked, then no other option to bypass surelock). Then in safemode disable admin access for surelock and then clear default for surelock in apps settings. Go to playstore and install any launcher (google now works better) and set it as default home in settings. Finally restart the tablet. Now you have bypassed surelock but surelock is there with its settings intact. Launch surelock and follow onscreen instructions to enter surelock if there is any inspection or in situations to hide your bypassing. To bypass surelock again, follow the steps once again from beginning. Hope this helps

Dear all,
This is the first time I have use an android device, and I have search many forums with no solution. So, thanks for everyone's time in helping me out.
1) I have root the Atrix.
2) I install Bloat Freezer from the market.
3) Install GoLauncher from market.
4) I freeze the 'home' app or system process (I'm not sure what term to use) using the bloat freezer.
Everything was fine. Untill, I decided to give this phone to my sister and from the phone instruction, I need to erase everything to factory default in order to get rid of my market account (no sure if this is the only option, but that's what the phone reflect when I try to delete my account). then, I
1) go the settings > privacy and run the reset factory default.
2) Did not defrost the 'home' app.
After the phone get back to factory default, I manage to get back to the initial stage of Motoblur setup. After setting up, the funny thing comes. There is only blank screen with a notification bar and nothing else. The lockscreen still works and double tap on the home button startup browser and hold on the search button goes to voice command. So I think the phone works, but without the GUI.
My so call solution,
The bloat freezer developer is very nice to send me an apk to defrost everything I had freeze. So,
1) I need to install the apk without the GUI. ( I found a way which not sure if works, by using a software to sideload using PC.
2) Using a Update.zip to install the apk (which I seriously don't know how to do it as I am just starting to use android)
3) Any way to defrost using adb (which also requires USB debugging enable).
Problem: I can only do it with USB debugging enable. Which is impossible as the phone is freshly reset and I cannot enable the USB debugging using the phone without a GUI.
Help:
Is there anyone who knows how to enable the USB debugging without using the phone?
Or direct me to settings using any shortcuts?
Or any other solutions? Flashing the sbf is my last resort.
Hope my explanation of my problem is clear and thanks to everyone who has view this thread and try to help me or give me suggestion.
Flash a fresh sbf, instructions and files are in the dev forum, I'd give you a link if I wasn't on my phone

Thank you for your advise. I saw the thread in flashing sbf. but this is my last resort or is this my only option? I really hope not. First time using android, flashing sbf is kind of a big step for me
wait!!1 don't flash!!! hold down home button to bring up latest apps and click on blotware freezer and unfreeze it

Unfortuanately, I reset to factory default makes the app not there anymore. So the only to defrost is the apk from the Bloatware freezer developer.
If you already did a reset and you don't have anything on the phone I would just do the sbf since you don't have anything to lose.

In the future (hopefully it won't happen again) you can log into your market account on a computer and download any old launcher. It will be pushed to your phone and from there you can then unfreeze your prefered launcher and swith back to it.

I have the same problem, only early stage.
I just rooted my phone, for the first time, installed Bloat Freezer, Froze Moto Blur HOME which has caused an error which I can’t get passed to fix and unfreeze.
The error states Sorry, the application home process has stopped working. Please try again. Force Close.
So, what is the easiest way to fix this without going too far down the rabbit hole?
That said my disgust with Moto Blur has got me this far, I’m sure it could take me further.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
when I reset my Optimus One with VolDown, Power + Home something got messed up and I received a phone where the desktop is not starting any longer.
After the above reset the setup screen appears where I can choose my language etc, but at the last step I get a force close message for the Setup Wizard every single time. When I then force close, the screen goes dark except for the status bar on the top.
After a while the phone autolocks and I can see the lock screen with moving grass and time etc. When I unlock, again the black screen with only the status bar on top.
The phone receives SMS messages and calls and shows the appropriate screen, just no desktop to choose any apps to start. I can even long press home and then get the recent apps screen with no apps to start.
Can someone help me to get my phone functional again?
Thanks.

seems like problem with your launcher app. use adb push command to push new launcher in your phone.
no debug

Yes that would be a good idea if I could enable USB debug. But I cannot get to the settings where I could enable USB debug, therefore ADB push is not a possible option for me.
u can log into your google account on desktop and install any launcher app from playstore , it will automatically get installed on your cell if your data is on.

Thanks again for ur input: But the VolDown Menu Power thing did a complete reset and therefore the phone is completely virgin, i.e. no google account is set-up.
While during initial boot the setup wizard comes up, I get the error message:
"The application Setup Wizard (process.com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
So I cannot setup a google account for this phone.
u may be able to go to contacts screen while on call. there u will have an option to add google account. try this n if this doesn't work try resetting your phone again.
Thank you! That did it! I called myself with another phone and during the call via the menu button I was able to go into the account section and add an account. Then the play store updated (some time is needed for registration to take hold on the play store web site) and then I installed the Go launcher via web install.
After I got access to the launcher, I immediately activated USB debugging in Settings > Application Settings > Development and also install from unknnown sources in Application Settings.
I wrote these details so that people with the same problem of corrupted launcher or setup wizard know what to do.
BTW before I tried numerous phone resets but none solved the problem.
Now I still have the following problem: To root a reset is suggested to have a clean file system. A reset however again gives me the above problem. How can I break that vicious cycle?
Again, thanks a million for your help.

Binser

No need of reset or so, just root and install clockworkmod recovery via ROM manager app, choose optimus 1 old baseband even if u r on new coz the recovery for old baseband is much more stable.
NOTE:-
do not choose to boot into recovery from ROM manager,u might end up at emergency mode. instead use the key combo to enter into recovery.
don't choose to factory reset from phone menu once u have installed custom recovery, instead do that from recovery.
Thanks, hephappy's ICS CM9 is running well now.
There is only one problem, possibly because I did not get your advice about old baseband in time: Cannot make or receive calls/texts, but I am being asked for SIM PIN and the phone shows the carrier ID in notifications.
My phone has the 20d baseband - is that the problem? Do I need to upgrade to 20g or would that not matter?
Regards,
Binser
OK, I flashed the 20G baseband and the problems are now history. I can make an receive calls.
There was a problem when flashing: The phone did not reboot into recovery mode. I had to do that manually and disable the LG modem. Then when the process was done I the phone showed 20G baseband, but no IMEI and network. I solved that by using the saved NV2 file in a subdirectory of the LGMDP.exe and the NV Restore button on the program icon bar.
Now everything is fine.
Again, thank you for your help.

Long story short i deleted my data/app file(accidentaly). Sony xperia S android 4.2.1 i think... Dont ask how that happened. So right after i deleted it by mistake everything started crashing many apps stopped working. Immediatly after doing that i restored a restore point and rebooted. As you would expect my phone is password protected, but when i klick the password slot id doesnt show the keyboard nor the option to change keyboard because i was using swift key keyboard. Now i cannot enter my phone, so i think that i should do s factory reset but i cant do that. I know that i saw a factory reset option on the sony software updater on my pc because i wanted to update my phone. Also when i tried to root my phone i could not flash it some broken driver issue (was not able to fix) so i finally rooted it with the root tool kit. Well please help me with this. Also i assume that the restore point didnt work. Please help :crying: :crying:
Hmm. So you deleted your /data/app folder and most of the apps are gone? Whoops! lol And you are rooted. Do you have a custom recovery? I'm assuming so since you said you tried to restore a backup, is that correct? It would probably just be easiest to factory reset in recovery as that will remove the password and then when it boots, you can restore the keyboard app. Other option is trying to remove the password in recovery (has to be custom) with adb commands as you won't be able to while booted due to the password.

Well the thing is that im not near a pc for the next few days, but i have a tablet which has the device input to usb output cable. So i was wondering if theres a app that turns my android tablet into a keyboard for my phone. Ive been looking but only found bluetooth and wireles keyboard wich wont do me any good since my phone is locked. Also is there an app that could hack my phone since its rooted.
Pretty sure you're out of luck without the PC.

Hi, i have a quick question. I've installed cerberus, hidden it and made it a system app using Link2SD. From my understanding, now if somebody factory resets my phone it will stay there hidden. But somebody can still acces recovery mode or S/W mode and flash a new ROM which will wipe the whole system including cerberus. Is there any way for me to ,i don't know, lock this modes with a password or something ? My last phone got stolen so i am super sensitive when it comes to countermeassures.
So i'm trying to remove a google account from this device. Tried all ways and is still asking for the same thing - account previously used on the device to continue.
The tabled was setup by somebody and eventually lost access. Tried to factory reset it but no luck. FRP enabled.
Is there something i am doing wrong maybe? Thank you!

It's hard to advise since you haven't said what exactly you're doing.
The more detailed you describe, the easier it will be to help you.
FRP can only be removed on a running system, not by flashing the firmware.
I am trying to remove the FRP.
I thought with the firmware i could reset the tablet.
So i have lost access to the synced account basically. I am trying to bypass the security. Tried to recover the password for the google account but since it was a new tabled with a new account i have not so many informations to be able to recover it.
I have also tried the method with Alliance Shield but i can't access Google Play neither.
Have you unlocked bootloader? It's there in the developer settings as "OEM Bootloader Unlock"
I cannot trigger developer mode. Tried but no luck. No message apears when i tap Build Number or any info about the device.
Are you sure you did it right? You are supposed to tap 'build number' seven times, because tapping once will not help. You may already know the above fact, though
Edit: Spelling error.
I did. Nothing happens. Tapped several times but nothing pops up. I am an apple user this is my cousin's tablet received as a gift this Christmas. He is only 9, tried to set it up himself with the help of another cousin....They forgot the password and tried to factory reset it after.
Also, there are quite a few videos about disabling FRP, have you tried them out yet?
Yes i did ... no luck ... I am taken to different not-so-trusted websites with unknown programs (potentially viruses).
Just found this here where it says to clear cache partitions:
Developer Mode Not Showing
I have the SM-N9600 model on TMO, running 8.1, and not rooted. I tapped the Build Number repeatedly to turn on Developer Mode, and I accessed it the first time, but now it's not showing up anyplace. Also, when I try to redo it again, a little pop...
forum.xda-developers.com
Please try it out as I don't have a physical tab on me. I am sure it will not remove data and such, so feel free to do so. You can access it by booting into the recovery options.
It also says that you can alternatively "Place a Nova Activities widget on your desktop, then, take a look around in the Settings section of the widget, see if there's something for Developer Options."
I did clear the cache several times. Factory reseted the phone also but no luck.
Is it possible for you to use ADB instead of using Odin? I am not sure if it will allow you to pass through without oem bootloader unlock enabled, but it's worth a try.
You also should remember to install adb platform tools and also install samsung dev drivers.
ADB not working neither.
I think I know exactly what is the issue either you should downgrade to FW patch prior feb 22 since KNOX doesn't allow to run developer option unless work environment is set-up. In those upgrades you can use Talkback for FRP bypass.
You can try pro disabler method to enable knox and get developer options then from there.
After disable knox https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ite-emergency-call-factory-test-mode.4502277/
@Abish4i so if knox is removed, dev settings are also removed? Could you please explain it to me if that's fine by you?
Once you get Knox verification done Developer options are enabled by system. You cannot remove knox without adb unless using Root.
When i try to install any apk the settings crashes. I don't think there is any hope for this device ...
Is it organization owned? What is your current FW patch?
