Hey Guys, I've got a problem with my phone, an Alcatel One Touch Idol 6030a.
Today I was messing around with Android Device Manager, locating my phone via web, and tried the "lock" thing. There, I was asked to enter a password, which I did, and then my phone was locked.
The problem came when I tried to type that password. I just can't, there is an input box, but when I tap, there's no keyboard, no nothing, so I can't enter my password! (See attached pic).
So I started searching the web for help, but it seems today is not my day. Yesterday I change USB mode to "charge only", 'cause I plugged it to my car's stereo and just wanted to charge it.
I never have USB Debugging on, only when I know I'm gonna need it, and today I didn't know :/, son I can't use adb.
I also tried deleting the "gesture.key" file, in /data/system/, via aroma, but nothing happened.
So, as far as I know, my only option left is wiping, but that is something I'm really trying to avoid, unless, of course, there's nothing left to do.
And that would be my question, do any of you know what can I do to disable that darn password lock?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried going into recovery and removing the app entirely with adb? Of course this is assuming you're rooted.

Did you delete password.key also from that ~/data/system ?
If you have not done, then do it again and try.
After you delete, clear cache and reboot. If it asks for password, try to see whether the keyboard comes up.
If it doesn't, try to access without typing anything.
Press thanks if I have helped.

Hello everyone,
we got this cheap tablet for my niece as a Christmas gift. She put a password on it and now she doesnt remember the password. It is connected to one of my gmail accounts, but I cant even get the tablet to give me an option to bypass device password via my gmail and password.
I have attempted to use the reset button to factory reset the device, but every time it reboots it asks for the password again.
I am about to throw the thing in the trash and tell my niece "sorry, you borked it, too bad so sad" but I thought I would try here before I did that.
Thanks in advance!

I kept messing with it, and after trying the power + volume down process about 25 times I finally got it to take and entered into recovery. It didnt work at all the first bunch of times I tried it, basically this thing is annoying.
Thank you!

So I was having the same problem. It turns out that you do not press the volume up button along with the power button, but instead press the volume button in the middle along with the power button. Found that on a you tube video.
That resets the device to factory settings.
Note: If you have a memory card in the device, take it out before you start all this process so it doesn't lose data.
Sophix Tablet is made by digix media but I didn't find their website helpful to reset the password. Their website had me downloading zip files to my computer, etc. Very lengthy and time consuming.
Hope this helps someone else!
hey guys, I own a Nexus 4, kitkat original ROM,not rooted, disabled for USB Debugging, and yesterday it fell on the street and broke the lower-right part of the touchscreen, which is right the part that the pattern to unlock is at. So now i'm not able to unlock the phone, and i can't also put the "forgot the pattern" option cuz almost half of the keyboard doesn't work. I'm going to buy a new phone, but I don't want to lose everything I have, so i was looking for solutions to unlocking the phone or at least accessing the files without going through the screen. i won't use it ever again, so any option at all for me to recover the files is good, no matter what. I thought of some ways to recover, but i'm not familiar with them, so i thought you guys could help:
-mirroring the screen on the pc so i could unlock it
-hacking through the password to either access the files on the pc or using the phone
-bypassing the lockscreen somehow
-tricking it so that the pattern would appear at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom
-hell even opening the phone sounds good to me if i could use its files after
thanks in advance,

How about you change your gmail password to coincide with what you CAN press on the keyboard so that when you enter a password, you'll be able to enter it.

That is actually a good idea, but i would also need to change my gmail, cuz i also need to type my email address. Do you know if there is any way of doing this?
Hey Everyone. I have a extremely annoying and stupid problem with my phone
I have Z5 Premium. What happen is that my phone was always locked with fingerprint and pin number. BUT, for some reason after installing some applications and launchers to try on my phone my locking system sometimes didn't work. Some it lets me just to swipe my finger and I unlocks the phone, without asking for pin... sometimes it asks and sometime it don't, it started to be very annoying so I wanted to check if I change it to password instead of pin if it will be the same. The good news is, it looks like it fixed that problem and the bad news is my phone is so f***ing safe now that I can't even unlock it my self!
I created that password for very temporary time, for some extremely stupid reason I used password which I never used it anywhere else, it was only 4 letters and at that time it looked very easy to type and remember it but I was wrong... I reminded it for 20 mins than I felt a sleep for a short nap and when I woke up, its gone I'm trying to guess that pass and unlock it for 4 straight days now!!
I know I can do hard reset and start again from scratch but I don't want that. I just made all the setups for my phone and everything and I don't want to loose whats in it.
So what options do I have? I found quite few good methods but usually I'm not able to do one of the steps in it..
I tried Google Device Manager method, it didn't work because I already had password not a pin or pattern so it didn't let change pass
The best one I found so far is to flash a script through CWM to remove my pass. The only thing is my phone is stock at the moment and unrooted so I don't have CWM. Another problem is I don't think USB Debugging is enabled on my phone which creates even more problems in my situation I couldn't even get my phone into normal recovery mode when I tried with this phone, anyone know how to do it?
So guys, what options do I have without resting and deleting everything on my phone again?? Please help me, as this thing drives me crazy form 4 days now... I want to smash my phone into wall or my fu****g head because I set that pass up...
Ps. Is it possible to do a android backup on my phone? with looked screen and debugging disabled? but somehow so it doesn't backup my lock screen pass to? I dont think so my self but may be Im wrong..
thanks
I just found another method which I will try now, it could work...
nope, usb debuging needs to be enabled on that method too.. :/
never mind "helpful people" sort it out by my self.. how do i delete this threat??
Hi, I have the exact same problem but I want to hard reset the phone as it is new. What should I do to achieve that?
hey, a week ago my phone was crushed by one of my friends somehow and now, as you could guess, it doesnt.. display. No touch response either as far as i can tell. only response is vibration (turning on and off, recovery mode etc)
see.. i've really messed up here. this is a samsung device which means i have two tools useful in aiding my problem. kies and FindMyMobile (to unlock the screen) and as i just noted my phone is locked so kies will not work. why cant i just import files? Usb Debugging is disabled. FindMyMobile? not enabled on device. AllShare? Remote Control? both disabled. everything seems to be blocking me.
so the question is, is there any way possibly using adb or another method to either enable usb debugging or pull my files from my internal SD? if so, sorry to be a pain but this hasn't happened before. well, my data hasn't been as important before. Anyway, could you explain in deep detail for me? i'd appreciate it.
if not, is there any program or method to unlock my phone through my computer?
please, no one suggest USB OTG as even if my device does support it, it either wont work or i wont be able to get one in time. my phone goes off for repair or replacement on the 28th. (factory reset)
i've been looking for the past 5 or so days for a software that can do this. Wondershare was one of them, installed the recovery package on my phone but did nothing at all.
I apologise for the long and vague question im not sure what im asking. i just want all my photos and videos off my phone. nothing else. my computer recognises my phone but doesnt allow data transfer. i guess my priority right now is finding out a way to unlock my phone. Thank you in advance
Hello to all genius mind.
I am writing here, to find a solution for my problem. I will start from beginning, to be as clear as possible.
This summer, during my vacation time, while diving, I found SG J5 in the bottom of the lake (sorry for the person who lost it like that...). Since I never had android smartphone in my hands before, I was wondering, can this device still work, since I have no idea how long it was under water and what can I learn from this process.
After opening it up, cleaning with 96% alcohol and drying it, devices finally showed some signs of life. Actually, almost everything was working, amazing...
Once I got this device running, I started to deal with software. Following some tutorials online, I was on the process to bypass RFP, but could not finish it, since I had other important matter to attend to. After I was back, and turned device on, for some reason, it booted into safe mode. I have been tried again SideSync method, but it was not working, since device did not reacted, after I plugged in to PC. Computer can recognize device and I can even browser the files in it. Weird thing is, that lower volume button stopped responding (I had theory that it could be jammed, once I removed it and cleaned contact, no changes was in the system, still in safe mode, so its not jammed button...), it was working before and all other buttons are working fine. Because of that, I cannot load recovery mode.
OTG method also did not worked, since nothing happen when I plunged usb into phone (safe mode block all external apps). I have tried to flash new ROM, with a help of "Samsung 300K Tool" I can launch download mode, but new ROM did not gave any result either, and RFP blocks all custom ROM's, that could modify system.
ADB do not find the device, since USB Debugging is probably off, and I don't know a way how to activate it from PC. The trick to disconnect WiFi, when it checks info for google account, did not worked either, since its not possible to select a text for sharing it.
After trying all the methods that I could find, I hit the brick wall. Phone works fine, but its completely locked. I am thinking, that new Samsung protection system is designed like this, to force phone in to safe mode after one hard reset and lock all posiblities to byass RFP, not sure though, it could be hardware problem to, but no idea where...
Does anyone here could help me out with this case
THANKS!
Best regards to all,
HG
