[Q] uaing root explorer..trying to change default gmail acc - HTC Inspire 4G

So before I start, I just want to say that I can't do a factory restore because at the moment in in India studying and getting another unlock code would take too long and isn't advisable I think. also, one night my inspire was charging and the whole night the air conditioner was dripping water on the screen..all night, so I'm pretty sure the digitizer is broken because the startup goes fine and the screen still works but when it come to unlocking the screen I can't..the phone doesn't reasons to any of my touch. Luckily my sister wanted an infuse, got that and I just got her phone the inspire. However here is where the gmail problem plays. In short I want to get all my stuff from old inspire to nrw.
Anyway I've read threads that claim that changing the gmail account is possible, I've tried everything before finally downloading root explorer. For some reason market is having a hard time connecting but that might just be for the moment,hopefully. Anyway I downloaded rootexplorer through Megaupload online, still works ap its all good I presume.
Anyway, after downloading I read that I must go through data to system then find accounts.db of which I must delete it and then reboot order for gmail to ask for email again.
Unfortunately, everytime I go to the root I go under data..nothing is there. I search up accounts.db and it searches and searches but stops or idles at say/class/msm_vidc_enc/msm_vidc_enc. Question is why can't I fins it? What now
So ya, dunno what to do and stuff. All help much appreciated

couldn't you just log out of the current Gmail account in the accounts and sync menu, then log in with the desired account?

The only problem I would think then is not being able to unsync the original and replacing that with my gmail acc ap it could hopefully get all stuff I've lost from my broken digitizer phone.

Sorry couldn't fins the edit button.... anyway I tried the logging out thobg like you suffered however it didn't work out..can't really fins a way to do it. Also says the sync OS having problematic ap it is temporarily down. Root explorer still searching through thw msm vidc file..but isn't frozen because the searching wheel is still going found and round.

The hack kit carrier unlocks your device so no need for an unlock code. Best bet is to either factory reset and or since you've done the hack kit flash a new rom.

Thanks for the answer and especially the pm. I'm looking forawlrd to learning all this stuff..konda Haha. But it'll really help I presume and if not ill let you know. So just wondering, what good does the root explorer do? What can you do with it?

It lets you access everything on your phone and let's you delete or customize any file that you want something you cannot do on other file explorers

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!

HELP!!! serious problem.... help please!!

Hello there,
I have a serious problem. A while ago i flashed the energy rom to my device and it worked great. Now i can't use my phone anymore because it was a beta version? I've searched the forum, and i saw more of you got the same problem.
And i've read that it's possible to reinstall windows on my device but..
I typed serious import texts with notefolio and windows note creator program thing, i need it for my job,, Is there any way to retrieve those text files? It's not on my SD card, so it must be in the internal memory.. ****
My laptop makes a sound when i connect the USB cable, nut i can't see my touch pro in ''my computer'', it seems it won't connect...
Please please help me i'm desperate
thanks allready
Greatings,
Bouke
Mine just did the same thing and im about to leave the country. Have any suggested new builds?
Energy Rom Craps Out
My phone has also taken the time trial sleep, any help before I reflash. XDA should make it known that acts such as this do not happen again. I have donated to the development of this site, now wondering why & if I will do it again. Please help with a fix other than reflashing.
Moved as not ROM Development.

I dont think theres any way to undo this thing. just happend to me this morning. I was able to get a start menu, but all the apps I start, start under the message.
BUT, since I got enough reminders that this version I flashed was going down, I see not more than to just accept this failure .
So I held down the vol- button en pressed the reset button with my stylus, now I its flashing a new ROM.
Good luck
yea i tried that aswell, but everyting is beneeth the message.
And indeed it's a huge FAIL from the energy rom developer
I'm still hoping for some reactions that may help recovering my valuable text files..
If i flash a new rom it will erase all the data on the phone memory including text files notefolie etc. right?
Greatings
unfortunately yes. as far as i know there is no chance of getting them out of there. but you installed a custom and private made rom - that is to some extend alsways a risk and you should back up all the things you have on your phone when you do this.
good luck
i too want to get a few things out of the phone.
the stuff that still works is htc sense, and anything started directly out of sense, but not any shortcuts to programs.
you can access it by locking the phone, then unlocking it.
it will give me access to sense ui.
so i'm now pretty much looking for anything that's left to help me start a backup program.
any ideas on how to add a program as a service?
maybe with sd autostart.
does that still work?
all we need is to get the phone to run one lousy backup app.
maybe even automated.
we need ideas! ;-)

My phone locks on long end key.
If I press that and unlock again, the expiry message disappears for a while.
Sense and some Programs started directly from within work. Not the home screen links
However, I cannot start programs from links or access the internal memory.
Is there any way to read this while in "boot screen" mode?
If you can get some things to work, then pull your sim card out, and sync to a pc. If the syncing works, set the pc's date back a few days, and see if the rom starts working normally, then back up what you need and re-flash.
If you can't sync, just try to fix the date on your phone. A soft reset may be required.
Doesn't work as Sense crashes when I try to set the date.
Maybe it works for other people.
Sync does not work as that is blocked.
I tried changing the timezone immediately after it locked but that didn't work either.
So I suspect changing the date back wouldn't do you any good.
In other words: I don't see any way to recover any data from internal memory.
I'm going to do a hard reset now as I don't have time for this.
I conclude that whoever decided or implemented this timebomb as is, is a complete asshole and I hope he gets eaten by wolves in his sleep.
Disabling a product after a beta phase and/or forcing customers to update is perfectly fine, destroying their data in the process is unacceptable.

Gee, Office 2010 is a beta release, and came with a time-bomb. Maybe you should call microsoft and tell them to suck it since your custom rom didn't live up to your expectations.

I totally agree with that. I don't have time for it either, and i've already told my supervisor the good news..
Does anyone know a good working smooth ROM without the crappy time bomb thing?

[Q] Locate my phone without app

Yesterday i lost my 1 month old HTC HD2 (with MIUI on it) and i really want to have it back. To bad i didn't install a locater app yet, so is there a possibility to locate my phone without a pre-installed app (a google service or something like that)?
Thanks
Wow, I feel your pain.
Have you try out Plan B? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=en
It can still install itself onto your phone from the Android Market website, provided it is on, have data connection and the phone is still tied to your Gmail account.
It will be able to give you GPS location.
Here is an exaggerated account on how someone got his phone back, but I suspect the credibility of this story.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/08/how-plan-b-found-the-droid-i-was-looking-for.ars
Nonetheless, it works and still gives a little bit of hope.
PS: Press "thanks" if you think I helped you. It will be my first "thank". =)
i've pushed install B to my htc already, but i don't know if it installed. didn't get any mails yet, so i don't know where my phone is
Hmm.... unfortunately, I cant provide any further help...
When technology fails, we can always fall back to basic human kindness.
I lost my phone once before, but the finder was very kind to call my home and tell my mother about it. Thus I was able to retrieve it.
The finder guessed that it was my home number by searching through the contacts and saw the entry named "Home". But it was a few days later then she called my mum.
So let's hope for the best. =)
call the police first! maybe they can track the phone when someone use it

So phone screen cracked... anyway to backup internal SD?

My phone screen cracked a couple weeks ago, it wasn't that bad that I couldn't stand it but it was a little bothersome. Anyways I thought I would just put up with it for a while, but I ended up placing a claim for a replacement from Asurion a few days ago. Well I dropped my phone again the other day while I was walking home using the LED flash, and I thought everything was fine til I got home and I noticed the screen didn't turn on anymore. It is unresponsive as well so can't answer calls either. I tried plugging the device into my computer and it listed the device but I couldn't access the actual files. I tried opening Odin up just to see if I could even write to the phone, and ended up flashing a root66 file I had from a while back. I don't believe it wipes the the internal SD so I was wondering if it was possible to retrieve the data off the phone still? I have most of my stuff, including Titanium backups, on my external SD; but I believe I have a few important files on the internal too.
Edit: .-. Just remember I was on an AOSP rom before odin'ing.. so phone won't boot up all the way. Are there any AOSP roms I can flash in Odin? Yeah I know what I did was really stupid haha.

There's an app called airdroid that let's you control and use a lot of the phones functions on a web browser via wifi. You can browse your files, send and receive text messages among many other things. Maybe it will help you out with copying files to your computer and other problems?
Edit: just saw your edit sorry don't know how to help.

Even then, the screen doesn't turn on and is unresponsive. So can't install any apps or anything.
You could try adb pull, but I don't know the exact paths you should use. Don't forget phone needs to in usb debugging before you're able to use it.

Gave up on adb a while ago. Tried so many times to figure out how to use it to no avail. Plus I might have screwed up too far at this point to adb
You could give Android Commander a try. Read about it on Addictivetips, I believe it uses adb. It's pretty much a file explorer.

Did you solve your problem?

Portable ADB ALL [ANDROID] devices

Have you ever needed to use ADB at a work PC or a location you could not "install" applications?
Unzip the attached file and click the RunMe.bat
I have tested this pulling logs, pushing/pulling files, flashing recovery, roms, and anything else I could think of.
I tested it on the M8 stock rom 5.0.2 but this is a generic file so it should be fine on most if not all android devices.
The idea came when I was at work and looking for a solution for a problem I had. I could not install anything on my work PC, so this came in handy, the only problem is that it was outdated, or seemed outdated for my needs.
find the zip file here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347791558
This topic has been covered but is very outdated. I only found information from 2011 and 2013. The included information has since been updated by Google. I found it and included it, re-zipped it and now it is here for you to enjoy.
Thanks
to @Kickface, (where I first found this solution) wherever you went and any others who have created a truly portable (not minimal) solution to using ADB without installing anything.

I know this is totally off topic, I'll report myself for it later....
So, I installed the zip file onto my work PC, a DELL Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 professional (I really cannot get too much more info about it now) sorry. My nooby butt just went and downloaded the file not checking the MD5 :crying: Totally a dumb thing a NOOBY would do. It started to get late & I had to get ready to go to work. I know I had the command prompt screen (Black box) running and I then left the computer. 8 hr's later I come home from work and the computer is locked as normal, I to proceed entering Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination as usual & NOTHING (panic setting in)!! I was concerned since it was frozen from something I done, also I didn't want to loose all the work I gathered that night prior (is the very least of my worries now)... I took out the battery to reset the computer, again like a dummy, I started Windows normally ignoring the other "safe mode, etc" options. I click on windows Chrome, NOTHING! Not even an option to open the program/app. Okay, I'm really panicking now WTH did I do??? I knew I did something wrong, so I reset the computer by battery again, put it in "Safe Mode" which did absolutely nothing as I couldn't "open desktop gadgets in safe mode". Now, I restarted the computer from the start menu... Started up completely fine, I have access to everything EXCEPT Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. anything that is browser related has the administrator shield on the icon. However, I still cannot even click on the icon to run as an administrator even if I had the password!?!?
Is there any possible hope to uninstall that file and just maybe it'll go back to normal??? I cannot re-install Chrome or Internet Explorer due to the darn administrator rights!!!
I've searched to the ends of the earth since last night trying to find a solution, this is my last ditch effort resort for any possible suggestions to point me in the right direction. Luckily my friend was kind enough to lend me his laptop and my phone is in proper working order:angel: If I tell my IT guy what happened, I'll be in huge trouble, going on the 2nd laptop destroyed, 1st time really wasn't my fault, just saying so u don't think I'm continuously reckless.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated! Hoping someone has had this happen maybe:fingers-crossed: and just a slight point in the right direction (link, website, specific thread on forum) would b awesome?? Again, apologies on the "off-topic" content, I don't know what else to do & I feel as though XDA is THE ABSOLUTE BEST forum site for any Android help, apps, devs research, roms, etc. Thx in Advance!!

I can tell you that it's not related to the files because I use them on my work PC all the time. I am working 10 hours days, 6 days a week. So the only time I can do anything out of the ordinary on my phone, it has to be at work.
That being said, have you tried system restore? I'm not sure if that requires admin rights, it might. On another note, tell the IT guy your internet explorer just stopped working, they love that. Because seriously, it's unrelated. The most he will do is uninstall and reinstall IE/Chrome. If that doesn't fix it, a system restore should. If that still does not, there is something off with the settings for internet access (I've seen that before). But if you are saying there is a shield/lock over an icon, that's new to me.
Also, I can install chrome at my work. It usually does not require admin rights, that and Firefox. There are also many portable browsers you can download from another PC and copy the zip file to the laptop, and run the app. Just search portable browser. At least this will help determine if the browsers installed got locked or if there is a network setting being blocked.
Let me know how it goes. This IS a bit off topic, but let's figure out what's wrong publicly so the mods can see there is nothing wrong with the zip I posted and then we can have our posts removed.

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
I'm glad to hear that it's not the file bc I cannot uninstall that regardless. We do have crazy blocks on all the computers at my work. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the sensitive information we have (a drug tx center so everyone's personal info is in our database). We can't even update the time on our computers, I have no clue why. I asked him once, he said something about giving that permission would open up another way to bypass security (I can't remember exactly).
This is my laptop, I never even bother bringing into work because I work so much from home. For example my login at the office has updated twice when at home it's still my old login password. The computer is physically in bad shape (it's been used & abused for sure) I'd prefer not to the bring it in for him to see so I plan on waiting to Friday night (IF ALL ELSE FAILS) and txtg him saying I absolutely need to work & see if he will do troubleshoot remote access! I hope that doesn't sound too horrible :-/
As I was typing this I just received an email to restart all workstations due to updates/ changes to the server done this weekend... Hmmmm it could totally be bc of this!!!!! Fingers crossed. I may just have to bring it in let it connect to the local server reset it, and bam good to go If not due to this I can almost guarantee it's the internet settings that I don't have access to!! But the portable browser should work...
I will still try all of your suggestions once I get home this afternoon and report back to you ASAP!!
Luckily I have my friends laptop to borrow & Dell had some good deals on laptops last night so I ordered a really nice one since I really need a personal computer again. Which I will also get an expense check for (bonus)!! But, won't arrive until 3/16. Until then I do have access to extra pc's here I could always swap it out, but I don't want to be scrutinized or punished for being sneaky, it's really not my character...
Again, I appreciate your input. Also, totally agreed on the "off-topic resolution" first and then delete our posts...
Thanks Again!
Yeah, I cannot get through the security on it.
When I look at the properties or try to repair Chrome or IE, it has an incorrect path, totally crazy looking.
\\localhost\C$\os(c\Users\mludford.....
I'm currently downloading a zip for a standalone browser. Hopefully that'll work...
This thread in general is totally crazy too, it looks like I replied like 3 or 4 times, I DID NOT :/ I tried twice & it told me that I didn't have access to the post, with a grey button over my original post you replied to, saying "Spoiler"!?! Very strange....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Needless to say it's not the settings or anything with the computer as I took it into work for it to "register" & update to the network settings... Nothing! So, I'm trying the above to see if I can't get around it. Thanks Again
