I enabled 2 step verification and generated a application specific password and I used it in my android gmail app. Now my phone is locked for too many pattern attempts and asking for gmail login.
My phone remembered the application specific password. Now I am unable to sign in using the original password. The only way to unlock the phone is to know the application password I used it... How to know the application password I previously used?
1.My volume button also damaged and even cant hard reset the phone.
2.Unable to connect to PC using the USB.. The phone is only charging when connected.
(Not Enabled USB Debugging)
3.Tried calling from another mobile to access menu and change password.. But unable to access the menu..
4. Tried generating more application specific passwords in gmail and used them. But nothing worked
5. I have gone to phone repair shops, they are demanding too much money.. BUT THEY CAN DO! How do they it.. They do it in 5 minutes
Still are there any solutions. My phone is HTC EXPLORER. (I am in India)

Did u. Do Factory reset
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
Option 1(easy but I do not recommend it): Settings ->account & sync ->Menage accounts -> click your google account-> delete it.
Option 2. Enter in CWM. Hard reset your phone. All data will be gone.
Only in ICS you can delete the primary account.
In others version of Android you have to restore the phone.
Settings-Privacy-Factory Data Reset.
You can use Root explorer to delete the file "account.db" in : /data/system. Then reboot.

So, I wanted to do a factory reset on My old Sensation so I could give it to my dad. I did it, but I forgot that I removed default home application from it. And since I removed my account from it, there is no GoLauncher Ex on it theat I used either, so I can't see any screen, menus, nothing. All I can do is I am able to use notification bar and view settings. I have no backup anywhere. Why did I ever even root you ask if I am not computer or phoney savy, well, because I wanted to remove some apps, so here I am now. Any ideas?
you can flash the rom again

Could I simply install GoLauncher on it somehow?
IF you have a another android phone or a computer you could enable bluetooth and send the apk file wich is go launcher. You can search Google "go launcher apk download".

Press thanks if it helped
You can install it by using sdk using a computer but my guess is that you dont know how to do that so just download the official ruu if you are bootloader lock or there are many stock rooted roms if u have s-off and have a custom recovery...
I mean no disrespect by assuming u cant flash an apk through sdk on a pc...
Forgot to mention there is a third and easier way which is to find a launcher zip that can be flashed on recovery like touchwiz from the galaxy s3 then you can flash then you can install any other app out of the play store and remove or keep the flashed launcher just in case you reset the phone again...

Best thing to do is. Download golauncher apk file to your computer then either you send it via Bluetooth,or you can create or have account in any file sharing site eg. Box or dropbox. Uploaded to that then make file as for sharing to friends, you will get specific wab address to access that file then download from ur phone. You will see download in dropdown notification menu install file from there.

To install a apk from the computer with adb use the command
adb install apkname.apk

Thanks guys, you are right, I don't know how to flash, no offence taken, I just wanted to share an easy solution, perhaps someone messes up like I did some day, in settings I went to TTS and pretended to want to download English files. That lauched Market for me and I just downloaded Go Launcher from there. I was just veeeeery lucky.
Hi everyone,
I got pico. Unexpectedly made wrong pattern and phone needs to mail and paswords. I dont have mail so null or any other options doesnot work. I try to use setting.db but phone doesnot connect to debuging mode. How to enable it via SDK ?
Thanks,
Go to Settings>Applications>Development and make sure USB debugging is enabled first...

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but............. try with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Also I don't remember if you are using fastboot option from hboot menu, maybe there was no need debbuging to be enabled, not sure about that, I always enable debbuging.
Another option is to do factory reset.
Thanks for replies.
My phone locked because of wrong attemp of keylock pattern. Need gmail account and password to open phone. I tried answered call but no solution.
I have to connect phone via ANdroid SDK than changing the setting.db value. After this changeing i can use my phone again without any data disappear.
I donot know using SDK but i see the how to do the chaning setting.db. I only need how to check USB Debuging mode.
Also what is fastboot option? I see the menu that was fastboot and recovery or factory reset selections. But i need my datas.
Are you rooted?
If you're make a nandroid backup first. I'm not sure you can use adb to bypass security.
If it's possible, I think it should go something like this
Insert into secure (provisional, 0)
Sorry messing up

If your rooted.. Keep calm and do a factory reset. Unless your on stock rooted. If that's the case. Flash another ROM

Just a alternate options:
Before a factory reset, make a nandroid backup .
You can extract data from it after you do a reset

Take two to three nandroids just in case.. keep one in your PC. ~check size of nandroids to make sure you have all data (just by your memory )
There are apps to extract data from nandroids
~nandroid manager here in xda
~app extractor

I have an app on my phone that I would like to prevent from being uninstalled in the event of being lost or stolen. How would I do this. I have been searching the web and most people say its not possible but how is that bloatware is seemingly impossible to get rid of? Would it be possible with a rooted phone?

The best way would to put the app in /system/app but you'll have to be rooted for that

Yes I am rooted. How would I make it so the app installs with all the current settings?
For example if I have an app that shows me the current location of my phone via email I would need the email settings to be loaded each time.

After you move it to /system/app and set permissions just log in like normal and all of your settings should still be there... just keep in mind a factory reset or a need rom will delete it. So after each time you flash a new rom you'll need to move the app back to /system/app

Bear in mind that the first thing anyone will do if they steal your phone is wipe all data, so this won't achieve much unfortunately.

How to disable Encryption
To disable encryption you need see to that you comply with the following things:
a) Your battery must be fully charged to a 100%.
b) You must have an android phone
c) Brains.exe (Kidding! Patience)
Since, you did not tell me your model so I am considering that it is Android
Step 1: Backup your data (If you know to decryption key )
You can do this by installing TrustGo antivirus from the Play Store, Its Free and Legal! and sign up for an account
Step 2: Use someone's WiFi or your Internet Connection to Back Up the Data
Step 3: Check the Data on the TrustGo Website (Only Contacts and Messages will be backed up)
Step 4: Use your Google Drive to back up your data (15 GB of Free Space should do it)
Step 5: Factory Reset your phone (Hard is recommended)
Step 6: Restore Data (TrustGo) by installing the app and signing in and restore
Step 7: Restore Data from Google Drive
Step 8: Volla!
Thank you .. i want to try it now
