Can someone upload that for me? The new ROM i flashed didn't have, and i prefer to enter test mode via shortcut instead of dancing around the keypad. If you are running TNT 1933, it should have it in windows directory.
kthankz
Just uploaded it to http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=42UUAOM6
Enjoy

Its the key combination that normally starts test mode on wizards.
Also i realized that my phone did have gsmtestmode.exe, it was just hidden compared to my previous ROMs where it wasn't. You can unhide it with total commander.
Another thing, you need to enable EngineerMode in registry, otherwise nothing will happen when your dial the test mode number or either running GSMTestMode.exe directly.
Hello folks,
idk if anyone of you guys had a hard time with the same annoying 'feature' on ics roms which forces you to set a PIN/password/pattern lock when you try to install enterprise certificates into your credential storage.
As for myself I need some of these certs to log into the WLAN at my university (which is 802.1x protected). But I don't feel the need of locking my phone.
So I exploited this to go around setting a password for the secure lock screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites are a rooted phone, a root file browser or adb tools and apparently your certificates.
I tested this on AOKP build 38 and 39 on a rooted HTC Sensation XE and will check this on two other devices the upcoming week.
UPDATE: seems to work even easier, I made the changes inline since the previous workaround did not work in every case.
Step 1:
Download the certificates to your SD card and/or install directly via browser/email etc. Do as you are asked and set up a PIN/password/pattern lock. Remember it
Step 2:
now with your root file browser go to /data/misc/ and recursively copy the folders keychain and keystore to a save place.
These are the folders containing the certificate files.
(See [System settings > security > Trusted credentials] for installed certificates)
With adb tools you can for example do this:
Code:
adb shell
su
cp -R /data/misc/keychain /sdcard/certificates/
cp -R /data/misc/keystore /sdcard/certificates/
Step 3:
Go to [System settings > security] and click [Clear credentials] at the bottom of the menu. Now your previously installed certs are wiped and you are free to set the lock method to [none], [slide] or [face lock] again.
Step 4:
Finally fire up your root file browser again, set /system as read/write and copy the in Step 2 backed up directories back to /data/misc/. They are now installed as the before but since CertInstaller.apk does not get involved, noone forces you to lock your phone.
in adb shell:
Code:
cp -R /sdcard/certificates/* /data/misc/
Now you should be able to find your newly added certificates in the System list under [System Settings > Security > Trusted credentials] in the [User] tab and thus be able to log into your desired WLAN.
I hope this helps some people out there. When I get deeper into developing maybe I will find a 'cleaner' method for this.
have a good night,
.eXa
Thank you for sharing! I have been really looking for this kind of hack.
Sadly I can't use it as my certificate has a different structure: it seems to install 3 files in /data/misc/keystore/
The files are 1000_USRCERT_Polimi ; 1000_USRCERT_Polimi and .masterkey
I tried copying these files to the new directory and even changing the file extension but it did not work.
I don't know if this issue is rom or certificate related.. anyway I am using a stock rom on samsung galaxy s3.. perhaps samsung manages differently certificates..
Have you any clue on this? Thank you!
hey, thanks for the reply.
alright, I figured something new, maybe try the updated version of the tutorial and pls tell me if that works for you.
greetings

You were fast! and I think you made it: I can now select the certificate in the wifi options dialog (so it's correctly installed).. but I can't test the access to the network until monday.. Anyway I am convinced that it made the trick and it was really simple, I must say.
Thank you so much , this will be useful to many people!
Your trick helped me only partially. It allowed me to install the certificates just fine. But as soon as I try to connect to any 802.1x protected Wi-Fi network, the phone bugs me again with setting the screen lock. So I need a workaround for accessing the key storage.
I tried it and sadly it does not work: it asks me a password to activate the credential storage.. only problem is that I never set a password for it so I can't insert it and use the certificate. Too bad but I think it depends on the certificate.. anyway thank you very much for the help provided!
so, back from vacation.
@grgur: in your setup it is the 802.1x wlan that forces you by corporate policy to lock your phone. i am still trying to figure this out, i will try and search the system where stored wlan access points are stored. update will come as i find a solution to this.
@grievous: which version of android are you on? try clearing your credential storage first, then set up the password and then add the certificates. after that proceed with my tutorial.
since i am in the middle of learning for my exams i have really no time to go on with my android studies... it seems like in the long haul someone has to "fix" the app that handles phone lock and device policies. i know who the bad boy is but i am lacking time right now, so hopefully i get this done by the end of august.
i'll keep you up to date with my progress.
greetings
Is there a one-click fix for this yet? Bloody annoying...
Working great on stock rooted JellyBean nexus 7. Muchos grazis!
As soon as i go back to university (politecnico di milano) i will use your suggestion! Has anyone already tried with polimi wifi network?

I was using a samsung stock rom 4.0.4 and the tutorial worked but when trying to connect again it asked me for a credential pwd (that I never set). Now I'm on CM10 so there should be no problem. As soon as I get to Polimi I'll try
doesn't work for me (SGS2 AOKP JB)
Hi!
I've tried to apply this solution to my device (SGS2 AOKP JB), but after clearing the credentials and copying back the keystores/keychains the user credentials cannot be found (Trusted credentials > User is empty).
Could anyone please help me with this one?
Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem. And unfortunately I didn't find solution for that.

In fact i was really searching for this i will try this tomorrow !
Sadly exchange with client certificate refuses to work after trying this hack It says that it can't found the cert it needs..
I have found the permanent solution !!!
I hope this will solve everyone's problem here.
These are the steps I have done after installing Eduroam certificates from my university:
1. Obviously I have installed CA
2. I had to choose which lock screen style will I use (I only could have choose between pattern, PIN, and password), it doesn't matter which lock screen style you choose between those three.(FYI I have chosen pattern)
3. After that I have failed to swipe my lock pattern correctly 15 times
4. The "Unlock with your Google account / unlock with your PIN/password" screen appeared.
5. Choose the "Unlock with your Google account" and type in your username and password
6. After that the "Choose your lock style" screen appears. DO NOT CHOOSE ANY OF THEM, since swipe still can't be chosen
7. Just press back to exit this menu.
8. Lock your screen and unlock it ---> You have swipe unlock enabled along with the CA certificates !!!

It won't work for me. After 10 failures it says that I have to wait 30 seconds for another try. I have Samsung Galaxy SII with Omega v21 (based on Samsung-stock Android 4.2.1).

Same thing here. Although files are backup up, there is no certificate showing up on the list. It would be great if someone found a solution, this lock is driving me nuts.
Hi, this seems almost too easy, and it's more of a workaround than a solution, but it works:
Try to login to your network
Accept the request to set up the mandatory screen lock and set one up (any kind)
Connect to your network
Go into Android settings/Security and change the screen lock type to None
Your network credentials are now saved and there is no longer a screen lock.

The last time I tried this with my CyanogenMod install, removing a pattern/password/pin was not possible because of the certificates. Only after removing the certificates, the screen-lock-type could be changed to a non-pattern/pin/password type.
Hi,
As you may know, you cannot enter the secret codes (e.g. *#0011#, *#27663368378#...) on a device that has not been enabled the HiddenMenu.
I need someone to help me to test if these codes work on your device by using my app: Shortcut Master.
Here is how:
- Install Shortcut Master app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
- Go to menu 'Secret Code Explorer', select your desire code (e.g. 0011, 27663368378, 0228, etc...) and tap to launch it.
- You can select 'Launch 0' or 'Launch 1' to test if it work. 'Launch 0' requires ROOT access.
Please kindly test and feedback. Thanks.
Hrm I just changed /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu with a root browser and changed it from OFF to ON and reboot, all codes work just fine.

I tried the first two that you gave as examples and both worked. I have not enabled the HiddenMenu.
EDIT: I only tried the Launch 0 option
Works for me as well when I use the root required method.
Please help

Yes, I see. I have also faced with the same problem as you
I can't remember but there is a code that clear the APN settings. To fix it, you have to add the APN manually:
open Settings --> More networks --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names --> + to add
If you don't know what parameters to input, you may have to contact your service provider (your mobile operator) for help.

English qnd germqn in CC
https://youtu.be/krZXnsIU2zw
===============
Requirements :
Brain
Whatsapp with verifed number
Xposed frame work
Rooted phone
Titanium backup
Donkey guard
Lets Start
The Idea of this trick is to fake the Imei number of second mobile which will make Whatsapp think that it's the first mobile and keep receiving messages without ask to re-verify .
step 1 :
In first mobile . Dial
Code:
*#06#
, You'll find the Imei number (15 digits) , just write it on piece of paper .
step 2 :
Open Titanium backup , Grant Root permission and backup data of Whatsapp , you'll find three files in dir
/sdcard/Titaniumbackup
copy them to your desktop
step 3 :
Install Whatsapp, Titanium backup.
Install Xposed frame work , and thin install Donkey guard module .
You can find out how here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-donkeyguard-security-management-t2831556
step 4 :
Open Donkey guard, find whatsapp, and select settings , Identity , thin click on pen icon next to Device ID
Popup will show up , write the IMEI you get from step 1 , and press save , then click on floppy icon in upper corner to save the rules , then close donkyguard.
step 5 :
copy the files you get from step 2 to /sdcard/Titanium backup
Then open Titanium and perform a restore .
That's it , easy right ?
Now you can use chat with your friend from two devices without use another number .
For me I'm using YouWave from Laptop and mobile

Donley guard : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-donkeyguard-security-management-t2831556
**Note**
1) It's impossible to recive messages on two devices on same time , The device which is connected to Internet will recieve the messages , If both were conncted, The last devices you send message from will be the receiver .
If you find this Useful , please press like , It mean a lot to me .
Sorry for my bad English

I couldn't make it work. Titanium backup doesn't seem to work on my pricipal device. Always got a storage problem error.
Is there any workaround for the TB step? Tryed to copy the system folder and the media folder but with no luck.
Also i'm using lollipop in one side and the JB on the other. This should cause any problem?
Thanks a lot!!!

Hi! is there a way to do a rebbot on Head Unit Android 9 (PX6) ?
I know only the method pushing the small pinhole on the radio.
Maybe there is another way via interface in the settings?

I'd like to know too... without root (root is easy).
At the moment I use a terminal app and type 'reboot' but I'd like an easier method.

Slow down; not suggesting a terminal app at all, read the wiki - factory password codes for various utility commands, you might pick up a few other things than might then enable helping others, rather than a quick answer to get what you want and exit.
