Hi there, So my sister recently found an old phone of hers and asked if i could get any and all of the pictures and videos off the phone but doesn't remember the pin code to it / the Google account she used for it. So is there any way to get the personal data off the phone and possibly bypass the lockscreen? If we can't use the phone thats fine as long as I can get any pictures/ videos from it.
The Phone i believe is the HTC Desire Eye E1
Thanks for any help! And if this is on the wrong place im sorry, I'm new here

Hey everyone I'm new here and just recently got HTC Mozart. Its not a bad phone, but I am having some problems where I cannot access the market place,because it requires a activation code. Does anyone know what the code is or how to get it. Right now I cannot really do anything on the phone, its a bit boring, so I need some advice.
Thanks.

have you subscribe to hotmail or live messenger, once you set these up on the phone running, the market place should work.
Hi, thanks for replying, but yes I am already subscribed, when I try to sign in or create a new hotmail, it keeps asking an acitivation code, at the botton, it says call support, which takes me directly to orange which are no help at all. What should I do. Thanks
i have the mozart, and have master reset it many times, but have'nt come across activation code, would this be a network lock, can you take a photo and upload it.

is this a new account, and also in the phone all you need to do is sign in, not create a new account.
Well the phone is second hand where I bought from a shop and I already have hotmail account. So what happens now?
have you checked if the phone is network locked.
How do I check if it is network locked, the network I'm using now is orange, it could be locked to Orange.
can you put a different usim, other than the orange, can you also take a photo of the screen showing the activation code.
have you set up hotmail to run on the phone yet, does it work.
No I can't run the hotmail on the phone, because when I do that, it asks me for an activation code. So how did you get access on the marketplace?
can you take a photo of the phone, can you put a different usim in the phone.
Call Microsoft support they'll give you new activation code in no time
Yeah I will try call them, thanks for the advice
Hi, as one of my friends phone was about to get stolen when we were out in town a few days ago, I wanted some tracking and anti-theft software on my GS2. I found out how the pre-installed software from Samsung works (go to http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do and register your phone, and then enable tracking under the phone's security settings). But it is a very poor anti-theft solution if you ask me, even thou it works just as well as any solution on the market. First of all, if GPS is disabled and you try to track your phone using the Samsung website, it will ask you "do you want to enable GPS?"..that's just plain stupid and I don't see why it can't force it to start. Second of all, if my phone got stolen I would expect it to get reset to factory settings at some point. In order to avoid this, the phone should ask for the same pincode it ask for when you enable/disable tracking. That way it should always be possible to find the phone if it ever got stolen. I figured it was a simple yet good idea and wanted to feature request it for Android, but I couldn't find any information on where you can do so. Do any of you guys know? Or do any of you developers talk to the Android developers or do they roam in a certain part of the XDA forum?

Please try to contact Samsung/Google via the official contact/support email addresses first.
As they are using help desk systems, each email to those addresses become documented as a request or ticket and will be worked through in some way.
Every other contact (via personal network or a free/internet forum) is "in-official" and could lead into a loss of your input.
Good luck !

It doesn't on my phone. It remotely turns on GPS automatically with no prompt on the phone.
Hey guys, I got the following problem:
Lately, my gf used my tablet for playing some games. She never did that before and she actually knew that she wasn't allowed to. Anyway, she knew my pattern code, so she could unlock my tablet.
I could now change the pattern, of course, but I would rather be interested in an app which sends a signal to my phone, email, messenger whatever, just when the tablet either gets unlocked or goes online.
It would also be very helpful because I live in a shared apartment....and you never know
So does anybody of you knows such an app? Or maybe, there is another way to control this.
Cheers,
Sven
My friend has been deceased in a car accident this Sunday.
Is it possible to unlock his sony xperia u phone without knowing the unlock pattern to contact his friends, relatives, and everyone that matters?
Or flashing a custom recovery to the phone somehow and cloning all the data on the storage to an sd card or hdd?
Every option, recommendation, possibility matters, even taking the phone into a sony service or sth. like that.
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks!

Well, just try some random patterns. Sometimes, it's just a real simple one. If that doesn't work, and you enter the wrong pattern for a certain amount of times, you can get in using the Google account (if you have those credentials) or by answering the security question. I can't think of anything other than that, but perhaps some smart folks around here have a good idea.
I think its impossible due to android security programming unless you just keep tring or answer the security questions or crack his google account password.
If USB debugging is turned on its possible.Just delete gesture.key from /data/system using adb shell..
Hello Everyone,
This is a 100% genuine question, I am not a crook, blagger or thief.
A friend of a friend passed away recently, she was young (30's) and left three young children behind and a heartbroken husband.
Anyway, she had a sony xperia X with photos of her kids, her life and all her personal accounts linked to it - and it is behind a password so her family have been unable to gain access to her phone. They have asked me to help as ive done a few things for my friend in the past with a high level of success (data recovery, etc)
I have a ton of info about her, kids DOB's, husbands DOB, all their names, her email account (but no password for that either) and a ton of hints and suggestions of what the PW could be from her dad but so far ive been unable to get in.
I have tried DrFone android toolkit but the phone isn't supported.
I have searched and searched and the things I have found either involve a hard reset/wipe which we dont want or involve using some dodgy solution that I really dont trust (i only just persuaded myself to get DrFone as that didnt exactly look fully legit)
So i'm reaching out to this community as I know if anyone will have any suggestions it would more than likely you guys.
Im a LONG time lurker of these forums (although i'm ashamed to admit ive only just singed up now to post this) im reasonably clued up on these things and have messed about with phones since I was a kid, but this has left me scratching my head.
Few points to note;
The phone is locked with a password, I dont beleive USB debugging will be enabled (cant check) and I *think* i know the gmail account linked to it but cant get access to it. The phone is no longer on a network so cant access the web or have security pins sent to it via SMS although I dont think I would be able to see them as its been rebooted and needs password to view contents of any messages that come in.
Thanks in advance guys and girls
if its locked bootloader then there is no way you can retrieve data
not from the internal storage
its encrypted! any attempt to login and rooting will require long process and sony will wipe everything
try remembering her gmail and password. usually backup goes to gmailaccount , perhaps thats you clue
Thanks for your reply mate, I am trying to get access to her email, I shall keep you posted
Why not unlock her bootloader, flash TWRP and gain access to the pictures that way?
Edit: OEM unlock needs to be enabled in developer options - unlikely
