[Q] Unlocking Xperia Play - General Questions and Answers

Hallo,
first of all I did a really dumb thing. I did the following:
My brother got a Xperia Play and someone did all kind of things with it to make it play games. Now the device had some kind of unlocking-system where you have to follow some kind of pattern... I wanted to sync his contacts with outlook so I took it when he was asleep before he will go to work and I thought I knew his pattern... What I didn`t know was that he changed since the last time. So because I didn`t know how many times you can try it I actually managed to do it 20 times without succeeding...
Now the phone asks for the question and somehow he things it is a word but that doesn`t seem to work as well.
I`m really desperate right know, since all we can do is to enter the question, which the answer to we don`t know...
Is there any other way to unlock it or a way to change the word?
Much appreciated if someone could help me....
(I also hope I`m not in the wrong forum-section...)
EDIT: Updating the software or Reseting the whole phone via the Update_Service_Setup-2.11.6.12 doesn`t work as well....
EDIT2: OK, I now did the restoring update again and now it worked...

Hi all! Thanks for reading! How can I cook a ROM?

Hi! I have a HTC p3300. I am having trouble with it. I had WM5 and installed WM6 to try to solve the problem, it kept blocking and stoping, but neither that, even installed in Bootloader mode, solve my problem, at least for now.
Sometimes I have to format the mobile 2, 3 and 4 times a day (any suggestions would be appreciated) and, since I have to do that, I always need to install all my software, well, 3 or 4 programs, and to resetup all the device. My question here is, can I, in some way, create an image of the ROM after all these installations, just to avoid myself all those time consuming operations? I am tired and tired of doing the same thing all day. I am tired of having the same blue screen, well, white, MS-DOS style, saying that the device wasn't properly shut down, to press yes or no, and then it starts formating itself... Please, some help. I intent to send it to repair, at least to check how much do the mobile store asks me for the repair, and, after that, consider if it is worth or not, but, since I like the mobile so much, I really, really, really would like some advice on it.
The very same moment that I write this I am completely MAD with it because I was finishing one of the plenty formating sessions I do everyday and it gave the same problem, blocking itself, stoping itself (sorry, can't specify with an even exact word) when rebooting so that the Regional settings took effect.
I am tired, at this time, 4h25 in the morning in Portugal, have classes at 10h. Need to set the alarm to wake up in the morning, and really, really, really hope and expect some help from a lot of you guys.
Wait, the word for what happens to the mobile is FREEZE! Damn vocabulary at this time of the day...
My question was «How can I cook a ROM», but, since I have never did it before, any other preferable solution is also welcome. In fact, any other solution easier for me to do is a lot welcome. Anyway, if not, any help will be appreciated by itself.
Thanks for reading, at least, and I will be eagger waiting for that help.

P.s.- Just by the way... Does also any of you know how to really «crack» the TomTom Navigator? It was cracked when I bought the mobile, but, after formating it once, lost the way how to do it, because the first time wasn't done by me, but the previous owner. If possible, help to this question also appreciated. Thanks!
P.p.s.- Mobile just went dead for all those formats! Any advice? Now, even in bootloader mode it just checks for the card contents and freezes in the big RGB screen... No idea! I guess that its time has come... Did it really died? Any help, please!

No letters anymore, only digits...

Hello people,
I suppose this problem isn't directly concerning only my Topaz, that's why i place this threat in general forum.
Since about two hours my device hasn't got any letters! Sent a mms to a friend, everything was fine. Later tried to write my girl, but only numbers/digits show up in the editor... I don't know what I have done... Maybe some more informations would be helpful. I flashed a different ROM to my device, but I think that isn't the problem. I haven't had used Tweak HD before, then the problem showed up and everything a found was because of this program. So I installed it, activated T9, then disabled it, but the problem is still there. I get this problem, when I use the normal phone keypad.
Could anybody help please?
THX

Can be closed!!! After the fourth or fifth softreset, it works again. Didn't change anything. But for whatever reason it works now.

Sync Contacts & Messages without Touching Actual Phone

Okay if you want the WHOLE story here goes: (if not skip to the second paragraph)
Last night I came home from working a double shift and was very tired. I was sleepily playing with my phone and my genius self decided to reset my password (since I've recently said my password out loud a couple times when I give ppl my phone and they ask me to unlock it for them) but of course my genius self makes a password to stupe anyone who would dare steal my phone...and in the process dupe myself as well. I dont remember a damn number from the password ...except possibly an 8 and a 1. Anyways I woke up in fright and shock and looked every where on google for a way to circumvent the password. No luck.
Then I remembered that a while ago I changed the settings on my computer so that I didn't have to unlock my phone every time I plugged it in. YAY! Except th one computer that has that feature does not have outlook, or at least outlook isnt working right.
In essence my question is this. Someone please let me know of a program with which I can backup my contacts (and preferably messages as well) without actually having to do any installing on the phone itself or toying with it...since I can't get past the password screen. Basically a program that would be pc based. If not, could someone please lemme know how to do it step by step on outlook? cuz i've tried a millino times (prior to this password fiasco) and have never succeeded...I feel like my outlook isnt the full version or something tho..like some features are gone. I dont know.
Also, could I just go into my phone folder, copy and paste everything out, hard reset, then copy and paste everything in? It wont lemme copy the file "cemail" whatever that it.
PS my phone is an HTC Touch Diamond, the verizon version.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Please help me out, cuz it really is a sucky situation. Especially wen I know that everything in my phone is just a password away. A password that I created....in my sleep. What the heck man. THanks in advance!

SM-J700H

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone.
Before i start, i want to point that i've tried a lot of stuff before being hopeless & turning to this forum.
I have a SM-J700H. yesterday i wanted to change my phones lock screen password, so of course i did so, the problem is, i think i made it wrong, i missclicked somewhere or i don't know, twice, & now my phone is locked. i dont know what to do nor how to deal with that. sadly the Usb Debugging is i think turned off ? i'm not sure. Adb doesn't seem to find it. i tried the google location stuff, it's turned by default on this phone. i don't know what to do, i don't want to hard-reset , as i have important data, photos, etc.
If anyone's could help. thanks
Try to check on youtube .... e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwTng4mtWQ8

[HELP] OnePlus7Pro locked and Pattern forgotten... Help please !!

Hello all,
Even though it is my first post, I'm an old member...
I know people is alwas asking for that answer but I need to ask it before having to reset my phone.
I've never used the pattern way of locking my phone and rather used instead password but I decided to use a pattern to lock my phone and now that I've forgotten it, I'm stuck...
My phone is on stock Rom, locked bootloader and USB debugging mode activated.
Is there any way to bypass that security and to use my phone again WITHOUT wiping anything (I'm on travel and I completely depend on my saved datas, that's why I'm looking for any way to do that) or am I just wasting my time ???
I know a lot of people will tell me that it's not possible but I'm still hoping that one will tell me it is and will give me the way to do that...
Thank you all...
