Pattern locked.. At wits end!

Ok I've searched for a while and couldn't find anything. I couldn't get the SDK workaround to work.
I put the wrong patten in too many times and now it's asking for my gmail username/password. I've put in everything I can think of but it never works. I NEED some of the texts on there and yadda yadda. Is there ANYWAYS to get around this?

Put in your Gmail and type "null" for your password

Do I need to be connected to the internet? My account is under @Yahoo so would I need to sign in with that?
Thanks for the help..

Update: Null doesn't work =/
Ok. I'm offering $20 to the first person who can help me fix this. I'm on Froyo (latest version) on an HTC HD2. I just NEED to get past this unlock issue. Resetting the phone is out of the question

i'll give it a try, maybe $20 will buy me a new scarf.
so you forgot both your pattern AND your google account? or did you not have a google account on there? or what.

I have a gmail account on there and I've tried every possible combination I would use and it doesn't let me on. I'm out of ideas here

Are you putting in the whole gmail address or just the first part before the @ ?

I'm putting both
It's [email protected] and I've tried @yahoo - @gmail [email protected] Etc..
Nothing works.

This really shows why its important to remember what account you put on the phone even if its not the email you use.

Yes.. Yes I know that.
The thing is that I've tried EVERY gmail account I have.. That's only two though. I've read that there's a bug that causes me to not be able to log in or something?

Is there ANY way to set the default to Disk Drive instead of charge only? If I could do that I could use the adb method..
Anyone? =/

Try factory resetting

One possible solution...
Did you have root?
If you hopefully did,
1) install a custom recovery using adb
2) reboot phone into recovery mode
3) create a nandroid backup (not with ext)
4) wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache, rotate settings and battery settings, NOT SD-EXT
5) restore nandroid backup and phone will be restored.
6) reboot

YES! I'll look into this. Thank you!

Fix from the Android issue tracker
It seems during an incoming call, you can back out to Home & access settings to disable the pattern lock or reset your phone's designated email account. There are a bunch of workarounds posted in the Android issue tracker, bug 4784 - try to see if any suggestions help you:

The workaround in comment #35 worked for me, I disabled the pattern lock altogether.

cant download from market please help

y...
i dont know why..
after i formatted system in recovery and wipe date/factory
flashed a rom...
i just cant download apps from the market...
i tried to wipe again and sign in with new account and it did installed from market
again wipe date got back to my account and yet can't install from market it just gives me a stupid message cant download due to a problem...
please help if any1 knows what to do

Try to add a second account and use that account once to access the market and download. I had the same problem once and that fixed it for me, it kickstarted everything. Removed the second again and my main account worked flawlessly again.
Settings => Accounts and Sync => Add Account => Google => Sign in with another Google Account (make one if you don't have one).
Open the Market, hit Settings => Accounts and select the other account.
See if that works,
Greetz

Contact photos question

Hi all! Asking for a little help from the xda crew. Yesterday I went through the process of rooting my sgs4g, doing a Titanium Backup, flashing from Froyo to the GB starter pack, and finally installing Valhalla Black edition. Everything went *super* smooth and I love it! The only issue I have is that my contacts will not populate with facebook photos, which I believe is because Valhalla does not use the "accountsandsync.apk"
I believe this to be true based on this thread in another forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102157
Now, that being said, I thought I could just reinstall from my TB file, but I think this is where I made a small mistake yesterday. I backed up "all apps+system data" and when I try to restore the accounts and sync file TB hangs up at the popup window. After doing some research it appears that this may be due to the fact that I saved it with the Froyo system data? *If* all I've said so far is true, could someone please share the "accountsandsync.apk" and anything else I might need to restore this feature in GB on Valhalla Black?
Some simple instructions on where to put the file and how to install would be welcomed with a smile as well!
If I'm incorrect in my assumptions, hopefully someone will get me pointed in another direction so that my phone will populate my contact list with facebook photos again.
To be complete in my attempts at a fix I have tried multiple scenarios between syncing with google, and in the facebook app sync menu with no results.
Thank you in advance for your help!
-Devlin.

My contact pictures always worked fine, even with Valhalla Black. After using TB to restore apps, make sure you log out of Facebook app then log back in and select sync all. After that my contact pictures always populate afterwards. Even the newest Rom by Raver works fine.

Hi, thanks for your reply. For s&g I tried to log out and log back into the FB app but this didn't update my list. This is certainly not a ROM issue. It has to do with not being able to restore my 'accounts and sync' apk. I imagine my contact photos would work if I could restore the accounts and sync apk from TB, but as I stated TB hangs when I try this. I believe this is because of the way I backed it up while still on Froyo. I believe that I need the actual apk from someone currently on GB in order to make this work again...so, original request still stands. Thanks again.

Yes.. rather than use TB to restore I would push the .apk. Anytime you can do fresh installs in better than using TB because it can sometimes cause issues. For future reference you can get most .apks from other ROMs like the stock GB rom.
I use 'Super Manager' from the app market. Open 'Super Manager' then go into file manager. Check your settings in Super Manager by going into setup/root and make sure 'enable ROOT function' is checked. Find your AccountAndSync.apk on your SD Card and copy. Press 'Back up level folder' twice. Go into 'system/app' and make sure 'system is set to (r/w). Paste the AccountsAndSync.apk in the folder.

Thanks a bunch. The app shows up in my app drawer, but force closes when I click on it. I tried to navigate to the file in the system/app folder and set permissions but Super Manager has a blank screen for permissions. Tried install and that process failed as well. Now I'm at a loss for ideas. Might you have any yourself? :/ Also did a reboot, tried to resync with FB app, no success.

I flashed Raver's latest ROM. It had Accounts and Sync in it.
If you have not done it yet try fixing permissions. Uninstall facebook reinstall. Clear cache, fix permissions, uninstall, reinstall fresh... these are all the things I would try.
If all else fails flash the most current release and see what happens. I don't use facebook.
EDIT: Look at the attached files in my previous post. I added one. You may be needing that apk as well.

BOOM! That at least got the app working! THANK YOU! I think I will either have to wait for it to update the list after reboot or play around a bit...I feel like I'm getting closer to the prize!

I have rc3.1. However, there is not an app icon for accounts and syn like stock. You access it through through settings.
Glad you are getting closer.

Dude, thank you THANK YOU again! All my contacts are syncing now and photos are slowly populating the list!
I saw the "accounts" menu item in settings in my release but it force closed when I tried to use it. Next weekend I should have some more time to do a fresh install and update to the new release. I am on the Beta Rc2 release and I LOVE IT!! As soon as I get my tax return Raver's gonna get a donation!!

Glad you have it working!

Hi,
Try deleting your account,rebooting,and reinstall everything.

I can't delete my account cause it's not listed under accounts. facebook and whatsapp is there, but not google.

WORKING Lollipop Bookmark Sync Flashable

***I'm not sure if this is done properly, but it seemed right and felt natural, like childbirth.***
I have found that Google Bookmark sync is not included in the latest Gapps and that is because there is no official BookMarkSync for Lollipop.
But Behold! I have found a version that works in Lollipop so I made it flashable from recovery!
Just flash it after GApps and you will be able to accept it to sync when you start up your phone, or it can be done at any time on any Lollipop ROM. The reason I say Lollipop is because of the new folder structure. Just make sure to add the browser sync to your account sync settings and allow it access the first time you open your browser after this. You might also want to go back and check under accounts on the device if bookmark sync is actually synced.
You would still want to follow the normal flash procedure, wipe caches before, after, whatever your preference but I do it after flashing.
You may have to wipe your browser data after boot if you have already installed a rom and have been using it. I did not, wiping cache and dalvik cache seemed to be sufficient.
If this doesn't work for anyone please let me know, and let me know what errors or issues you get. I can try to fix it, but believe me, this dang thing took me forever to get right, so it should work. The folder structure threw me off as well as the permissions. But I finally got it right so I hope you enjoy. I know I missed having my Google Bookmarks.
I attached it as well as included a google drive link. ENJOY
Google Drive Link

for me it work perfectly on Captivate i897 LP5.1.0 OmniRom Lollipop.
Thank you :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I have the Verizon G4 and the option to sync bookmarks is not present under the settings page where you specify to sync gmail, contacts, etc.

Can you make it work with marshmallow? I am getting "Sync is currently having problems. Will be back shortly."
