I changed my pass code a few days before the card ran out, (I use straight talk) and so I put it down for a month or so (To save money seeing I don't really use it to talk to people much). Well, now I forgot my pass code and I can't get past it. I've tried over 200x and it's getting annoying. I don't want to reset it because I have things on there that I would like to keep, but if that's the only way to do it then I guess I can live with out them. But if anyone could help me hack it or get around it that would be great. Please help me?:crying:

I found an Eris last weekend, and by the next morning when we were trying to get a hold of the owner to get it back to them, it got turned off. It has been registered as lost I'm assuming and now it is no longer active. So now that I have this Eris sitting here unactivated I figured I'd put it to good use, so I rooted it and then decided I wanted to wipe it to get rid of all the crap that was already on it. I'm a Sprint user though so little did I know that as soon as I wipe this thing I'd be presented with activation when it reboots. I'd like to figure out a way around this, but I've been drawing up blanks. If anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
searched some more on google and broadened my search away from the Eris to verizon in general and I found my answer...
Keep trying activate > end call over and over again. Apparently the activation app crashes or lets you in after a number of failed attempts. I don't recall the specifics but I did just send an exchange incredible back and this worked for me.

I have ran some searches and such before making this post, but trying to determine if anything is going on in this rom for this kind of email, i have went all weekend without my work email it worked no problems before switching to liberty, and now to eclipse, i really enjoy this rom but must have work email. it goes to setup everything like normal, just wont authenticate at all.. i know my user and pass like the back my hand so its not that, i also know my server information as well, i am really decent on pc, just been trying to adventure out in phones.. anyone else having this vague problem on x2 using roms? yes its rooted, and rom is setup correctly. i have tried 2-3 flashes and still cant thru.

What are you using for your email client? I've used Lotus Notes Traveler (i know, yuck - no choice) on Liberty, Eclipse and Molten and haven't had a problem with any of them. The initial sync may take awhile depending on how large your inbox is and such. With Traveler, at least, it does some sort of authentication with the first sync and will report connection errors until it makes it through the first time. I had to wait forever until i decided to do some housekeeping in my inbox (long overdue) and tell it to sync only 1-weeks worth of history...
well i got with my IT guy from a different state and we are able to figure it out, had to get some file out of the way dont remember exactly how it was blocking it but he also roots and roms his phones so knew generally what was going on. i do appreciate the insight for sure, thats why i cam here was to find some insightfulness before actually having to tell the IT guy i was messing around haha, but gladly he was understandable telling me he's almost bricked numerous phone by always trying new stuff. i really wish i knew what we deleted so that way i could post it on here, and see if it would help anyone else or so the dev's could take a peek, maybe was my phone but i know i did full wipe before flashing so kind of hard to say, but again thanks i know noobs will be noobs but i also know forums and how to look before asking! im on overclock.net and such for pc and understand the aspects of what to ask and where! haha
Im rooted running Eclipse 1.3 and I have no problems with my corporate email... we do have our own exchange server here in IT so that may be a difference... I can even wipe my entire phone from my web accessed exchange email.....

As an IT guy myself, i think screwing around with technology is in our blood. You should ask him, see if he remembers, i would also be interested in knowing what your actual issue was. I had problems that seemed to surface at one point with the Blur email, it wouldn't authenticate. It seemed to work for a while but one day... It never seemed to be an issue with eclipse however because I could set additional parameters that allowed for security etc.
ok, this is my last hope. I tried Selina in support for cubot, but I dont have a reply yet. She probably won't be able to help any ways, but I lost my phone for 3 years, so I dont remember my password. I'm starting to want to just take the cards and smash it, like just have a demolishing party.
So my last hope is this, then walmart, then smashy. so is there anything anyone knows that would help. It's a pin password, and I have no idea how long it is. I was 14.
I'm currently working at a sandwich joint in Garden Grove, near my house, and there was this Samsung A51 phone that has been there for over 8 months now, apparently someone left it in the bathroom awhile back and never came back to claim it, so the manager challenged everyone to unlock it, whoever unlocks it, keeps it, simple ja? Well, it was a 3 x 3 dot lock, and there are over 200,000 answers to crack it, so he gave it to me because everyone gave up on attempting to unlock it. Upon bringing it home, I erased the entire data, in case I might unlock it and accidently stumble upon the previous owner's data. I then went around on Youtube on how to unlock it (since the original owner's Sprint SIM card is still on there, and his/her pin), and I got nothing. So now, I'm left with a clean phone with the previous owner's lock on it, and I'm trying to unlock it so I can clean off their data so I can claim it (Since I could use a new phone anyway), note, I've already did a hard reset on it, so there is no trace of the original owner's data on it except their pin and gmail on it. Is there anyway I can unlock it, and 100 percent clean it so I can claim it? Thanks

I'm not going to help you unlock that. Maybe someone else will? I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but here's my 2¢ about this.
Personally I wouldn't keep the phone, and I definitely wouldn't try activating it. If the original owner reported it stolen, then police will be knocking on your door within a few hours of trying to activate it. The honest thing to do, and what someone should've done 8 months ago, is turn the phone over to a Sprint store. They would've been able to contact the owner and get it back to them. The owner probably didn't come looking for it because they didn't remember that they left it there, or it was stolen from them. I also think it's really sh*tty to wipe someone else's device. Very important information or irreplaceable data could've been on it. Not everyone backs up their data on a regular basis. Again, I'm really not trying to give you a hard time. I understand why you did it, and I've been guilty of doing the same in my younger years. I just want you to know, there's much better ways to handle this kind of thing in the future.

Eaiser said than done. I'm gonna return it though, knowing the fact the police wouldn't knock on my door, considering the manager left it on for awhile and everyone attempting to unlock it already, now then, how do I explain to them I wiped out one of their phone's hard drive clean? I tell them I found it like that or sumthin?

I wouldn't say anything. Just drop it off and say that it was left at your work. They only know as much as you tell them. ;-)

Okay, one more thing before I actually give it to them, awhile back, I put on my gmail as an attempt to link it with the phone, and once I realized nothing can be done, I did a hard reset, any way my gmail is still linked to the phone, or its still clean without any traces of my info on it?

You should be fine.
I have an old AT&T Asus 9020A tablet. I got them new years ago thru my phone plan with AT&T. It wasn’t used much and is like new still.
Anyway, I take care of my mother and she likes games and painting by numbers on her iPad but she broke it and screwed up her charging port. I want to fix this tablet up for her.
I bet it wasn’t used 2 months and was just forgotten….I looked it up and completed a factory reset on it and wiped it clean. So I was trying to set it up and get her to painting again! It’s bout to kill her not having it..lol
I was setting it up and it wants the old email associated that was used to set it up. There is no way to remember that or even get it. I asked my daughter, she don’t remember. Anyway, are there any way I can use (reset) this tablet not knowing the old email that was associated with it? Where I can fix her up for her or am I just wasting my time? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
So it is FRP locked?

It’s not locked. It reset ever And started the initial setup as if it was new. It just wants the old gmail for some reason before it will accept the new one. It lets me start in the setting up her account on it but is asking for the old email for verification….. I don’t have it and there is no way to remember it unfortunately. I know they are there to keep folks from stealing them and that’s great. But 10 years later…LOL Is this possible?
what you describe (verify device with google account) is called FRP lock (factory reset protection). this is same on most/all official android devices to render device useless on theft.
however, the unofficial by-pass methods vary for each device model/android version. search on YouTube.
