I read this over at tmonews...
"While playing with my G today, I found a way to enter "safe mode" which will bypass the initial gmail signin and allow you to straight to the good stuff with out activating via google. You can also bypass the security drawing pattern.
1. Power off your device
2. While device is powering back on press and hold the "menu" key, keep holding it past the G1 and android splash screen.
Phone will boot all the way to the main screen and display "safe mode" in lower left corner.
I have confirmed that data is still fully operational and all of my downloaded programs."
Very interesting

How about a ROM DUMP?
I think there's already a thread or two about that.
im sorry to say this but the safe mode does not allow to bypass the initial activation screen but it sure does bypass the security screen

Correct I already posted about this. You still have to activate service with Tmobile and Google. Safe mode on the phone is just like on a regular computer help you fix issues.

It runs exactly as u would have it if it wasnt in safe mode the only difference is that u can bypass the security screen and attempt to change the security lock i'll play around wit it later on today
Well being the moder I am. I was smart enough to download that converter program floating around before reading about it and I get non stop errors on the home screen.. but for w/e reason running the phone in safe mode does not let the program load so I get no errors now but I can't unintsall it from the applications uninstall from settings.. it gives me an error when iit treys to compute the program sizes so I I can not run the phone when not in safe mode.. would be awesome if someone could help me here
try connecting it to the computer in debug mode and uninstall using adb
i have been google searching for two hours and i have yet to find how to put commands into the g1 i got the drivers and everything and its recoginzed by my comp but i dont know where i type adb shell uninstall or w/e can you direct me in the right direction?
you need to download the SDK from google. You should see some threads with the SDK or the Emulater... it is all the same. adb is in the tools thread. Ohh and you need to enter "adb -d uninstall (name of apk)"

google is your best friend. try searching for a solution. all you have to do is change the APN settings to rogers/fido and go through the gmail activation.

Bypass Google Account Just ONE CLICK

Hey guys how's it going?
Story:
My little cousin borrowed her old HTC Desire S to a friend.
This said friend, might have changed the Google Account and activated a Lock screen-Pattern, although she claims "I didn't change anything".
She claims, her sister tried to access the Phone while she was in school but couldn't, because of the Pattern Lock, so it locked up.
My little Cousin had a similar problem before (she knew her pattern but somehow it didn't recognize it and locked it. I unlocked it with the Android Device manager, since it didn't work with her Google Account).
She hasn't put a new Lock screen-Security Pattern/PIN/Password since then.
What I did so far:
tried putting in the Google Account Information of my Cousin
tried it with the Android Device Manager, but it couldn't even find the phone
tried entering the Recovery to perform a factory reset, but it just boots up normally
tried gaining information on How-to re-flash stock firmware but all I've found, required you to get into "HBoot" for relevant Information (which I can't access somehow)
So, is there anything I can try to regain access to the Phone, I don't already have?
It would most likely be a back-up phone, so, if it's lost, it's nothing too bad but, I mean, it cost quite some back in the day...So yeah, would be cool if you guys have a solution!
Thank you in advance for reading this post and thinking about/providing a solution!

EDIT: I forgot to mention, that my PC doesn't even recognise the Phone properly. It finds a removable Drive but it says "Put in a storage Device in the removable drive(H)" and if I want to save disconnect the device, there is only ". . ." listed and it doesn't do anything. I assume it is in "Charge-Only mode" or something.
Oh and it's connected to my Wi-Fi but it wont install apps (through Play Store in my PC Browser), since I tried one of those "remove Lock-screen" apps.
Pull the battery out for 15 seconds then put back in then press and hold volume down + power button. That should get u into bootloader and there u can try factory reset or if all fails try a ruu.
Hi guys, I have a problem. My friend has a pattern lock on his HTC Evo 3d and someone kept trying to unlock it. They have successfully locked him out of his phone. The phone asks for his google account and password now whenever we try to unlock it. He has no connectivity whatsoever enable, both mobile data and WiFi are switched off and I cant access the notifications panel. Also, he doesn't have a Google account. I tried to follow a Youtube video on how to delete the file responsible for the pattern lock (some "gesture.key" file) using an SD card but I hit a snag when trying to access the recovery menu of the phone. It shows me a symbol of the phone with a red exclamation mark and just stops there, a couple of minutes later, the phone restarts and takes me back to the lock screen, so basically, I can't access the recovery menu of the phone; It may not have either stock or custom recovery installed on it perhaps?
Please can you guys help me work around this. Any help would be appreciated. I'm just trying to help my buddy unlock his phone without factory resetting it and losing all this data (no, his phone isn't backed up at all). Thank you.
Heyy guys
So I have a bit of a predicament here... I'm helping my buddy root his LG 'XPower' prepaid phone he got from Boost Mobile awhile back.
However, before giving me the phone to work on, he preformed a 'factory reset' not knowing about the Factory Reset Protection that Google now puts on their phones. Essentially it locks you out from completing the phone setup unless you can login to the last Google account that was used on that phone.
My friend doesn't remember.
SOOOO. Ive got a much bigger task ahead of me than I originally thought. Rooting the phone would have been easy, and I know once the phone is rooted, I can easily pick and choose what google services to activate (such as FRP)... but is there a way to do that that doesn't require me being able to access the phones home screen?
or is there some sort of FRP bypass method someone could show me that would allow me to bypass the lock, so I can root from there.. ?
Idk... I don't wanna waste too much time doing something I don't need to... or something that isn't going to work... anybody got any advice for me?
Thanks I appreciate it!
Hi, My wife dropped her P30 and now the screen is broken. She has a new phone as the contract was up anyway, but I would like to try and get acess to the device somehow to retrieve some data. The screen is just black - no interaction at all. There is a passcode on the phone as well which was unlocked via fingerprint or code.
Is there any software that will allow me to mirror the phone and access it? All the software I've tried so far wants you to install an app on the device itself which is obviously impossible.
Any ideas?
Thanks
replace the screen, is about the only option.
a phone repair center may be able to recover the data with a spare screen if they have one available to boot into the phone, obviously passcode etc will be needed to access the data. even hisuite will need the phone to be unlocked before any backup is possible.
