TRANSFORMER GUY
I just completed the process of rooting/installing CWM Mod1.3.0.1/installing Primordial 1.3.
Each step was successful but after completing step 2-CWM Mod1.3.0.1 and rebooting, I was presented with a Device Password login screen. Since I did not have the password I could not login.
Went ahead and sucessfully installed Primordial 1.3 and rebooted. I was back to the password login screen without a valid password.
I rebooted into CWM and did a factory reset and cleared all user data and rebooted but was back to the password login screen without having a valid password. Tried factory reset again with the same result.
Does anyone have a suggestion for clearing the password or bypassing this login screen?
Hie,
I recently purchased a Chinese Tablet (Fondi PAD T708B). I had set a password for it and then forgot it. I read a couple of forums on how to get help, it showed generic password recovery methods for android which seemed not to have been options for this tablet. Then I read another forum which gave me another solution to be to factory reset it. I'm a noob it that sort of thing so i tried to follow the steps correctly. I was able to boot into recovery mode and found the factory reset option which showed it would erase all user data. I had no problem with that considering there wasn't anything I hadn't backed up. However, during the 'wiping data' the tablet went off. And when I tried to boot it again it gets stuck on the screen as shown in the attachment.. And however long I wait it doesn't seem to pass that point. Can any one help me out on this?
May you please help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 GT-P5110 which I had successfully installed CM12 onto. I decided to set up work email which insisted that I encrypt the device. I believe that the process completed successfully.
At that point I decided that I would like to flash the device with CM12.1. Restarted the process (Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe dalvik cache) and flash the new CM12.1 zip file from external SD card.
I cannot now get to the recovery mode and the device doesn't always boot into anything recogniseable. The screen goes black and blacker! I have manaed to get to the CM logo and then a screen asking me for the PIN for the encryption. The next screen tells me that the PIN is right but the data is corrupt. It gives me the option to "RESET TABLET" but that really doesn't do anything and won't let me in to the recovery menu.
I can get into the Download mode and connect Heimdall up to it.
Is there anything that anyone can point me at that will help me to unbrick it?
I hope I've passed on enough information to help. It seems to me I need to somehow re-format the internal SD but I can't get to any menu that will allow me to do that.
Any thoughts anyone?

Fixed It
I seem to have fixed it. I flashed the CWM Recovery rather than the recovery that I had been trying to use and I got control of the device back. Not sure why that made a difference but this time the Android Robot came on screen with the 3D polygon rotating inside it and it seems to be running correctly now and updated to Android 5.1 ... Magic!
Hello everyone. I am an old member, seeing as I registered almost four years ago, but I guess either your database was refreshed and it lost my username, or I only lurked. So, as the title suggests I have one of those lowly, inexpensive, down right cheap Kyocera phones. Here is what I have figured out so far. I was able to root it using Kingroot. That went splendidly, though because of my over adventurousness I decided to swap some apps out. I added a new launcher to the /system/app folder and wanted to upgrade the com.android.settings.apk with one from a newer build. This phone (was) running Android 4.0.4 Kyocera release r77 build date 2013. Apparently Kyocera loves to lock the bootloader so if I was able to spin a custom system rom I wouldn't be able to flash it. Another thing which discovered was upon boot up the system checks the integrity of app the system apps. If one of them fails the check it will not boot the system fully. I was able to recover the stock boot/recovery/system roms from a thread on here, but I seem to be stuck in a soft brick loop. One thing that another thread said, the thread that had the rom images, it said that you could used ADB to flash the roms to the phone. Thing is, when I boot the phone it restarts, and if I put it into recovery mode (press and hold volume down plus power for ten to fifteen seconds) the only options I have are "reboot system now", "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition." There is no "flash update from sd card" or wipe dalvik cache option. As I have said before, I could try to flash the rom to it using adb but I believe that wiping the system partition unset the USB debugging setting. When I connect it to my computer windows device manager notices the kyocera removable device for a second then as the phone reboots it goes away. Setting it into recovery mode does not make it show up in windows. Is there any way I can flash the stock rom onto it? Any android sdk or adb trick I can use that can boot it into some recovery mode? I was trying to see if I can get it to boot into download mode but seeing as it has soft keys and not a physical home button I do not know if I can manage that. I was thinking that maybe they tied one of the physical keyboard buttons to the home button but I have yet to uncover that one. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
If you can access your recovery it is already a good thing, try first to wipe data and see how it goes.

So, I boot into recovery and I do the wipe data/factory reset then the wipe cache partition for good measure and it still halts on boot. Same thing. Boot, kyocera logo, virgin mobile boot splash, then it halts where it would normally go into android. Then it reboots. Rinse repeat.
Any suggestions? I sorta need the information off the phone.
Hey here,
short story: Mum forget her fingerprint password and now we have to wait 1 hour after she tries it for two times...
I thought it should be easy to reset the password after installing the android device manager to the smartphone (since i do have access to the google account) and then create a new lockscreen pattern.
But nope - i've sent the command from the website, that the google device manager should be installed but nothing happens and i can't retrieve the status from the device manager
But the part which irritates me mostly is, i can't even do a freakin wipe trough the eRecovery and the eRecovery Update mechanism fails completely. Fastboot also doesn't help because the phone is locked.
And since ADB Debuging and uknown sources isn't available i can't do anything here...
Since i have no chance of getting my pictures back i wanted to ask if any1 here has a tipp how i can atleast reset the phone?
Best regards
