Ok, so this is my first ever forum post and I have resorted to this after hours of searching for a fix.
So let's get straight to the point. After changing my drag password thingy, I forgot it. Numerous attempts later to unlock the password, I found myself on this 'Sign in with your google account' screen of doom.
My phone runs 4.0 ice-cream sandwich.
My problems are:
WiFi is disabled
USB-Debugging is disabled
Things I've already tried:
Factory reset on bootloader - the HTC screen just pops up then it freezes on it.
Recovery on bootloader - the HTC screen just pops up then it freezes on it.
Calling the phone with another phone and trying to drag the notification bar down/ button mashing - nothing happens.
Using ADB to unlock it - I can't because USB-Debugging is disabled.
Various fixes that use WiFi - WiFi is disabled.
Please, please, please help me! My phone has been locked like this for a month now. I've only had the phone for 6 months and I use(d) it very regularly. I will appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks!!

Firstly - this is a QUESTION and should be in the Q&A forum
Secondly - you know that as you have already asked the question in the Q&A forum and someone attempted to help you, so why would you want to open a new thread?

Haha i thought id seen this post before.. thought i was going mad :sly:
If your boot loader is unlocked you can install 4xt recovery and install another ROM.
Factory reset doesn't help - that's strange but I have never tested it before :laugh:

Hi,
After I was trying to to an unlock and not sure what happened. After the 1st step ok KaiserCustomRUU, the screen started to have colored dots all over and was stuck there. After it rebooted the phone doesnt have sound come on during the cingular splash.
Also after the Splash screen happens, the phone screen goes blank. I see that it syncs to ActiveSync.
Need help.... what should I do?
Hi :
may be you can find the solution here

didnt help
I saw the thread you talked about. It refers to a blank screen during an unlock process. Mine is different, it does this when I just reboot the phone.
Question:
1) Any idea how to fix this?
2) The phone syncs with Active Sync. Can i just install a new ROM and will that fix the issue?
Please do not cross-post the same question to different forums. This question should be asked in the already-existing thread of the unlocking method you are having difficulty with.
mistake
sorry that was a mistake on my end. How do I delete this post or close it out?

Hello,
I had a problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi.
My girlfriend was playing with my tablet and couldn't guess my login pattern.
Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off, in Airplane mode!!
So I am looking for way how to unlock it without root access>> is that possible ?
How often did she try? You should be able to wait a little while and then enter the correct pattern. There's also a way to unlock the xoom without knowing the pattern or google account, but no one on this forum is gonna help you with that ('cause we can't be sure that it really is your xoom;-) )
So just try to wait a little while until you can enter the pattern again or try to reboot, maybe the pattern will appear again after that...

Do you have adb debugging enabled? I think you can change the wifi state in adb shell....

I really just can't do hard reset, with no way of extraction for my data (it's 20g out of32)!
So >> Is there any new idea please !
Heeeeeeelp~!
You may need to fully wipe it.. you'll lose your data. This can be done through a connected PC.
Revert to the out-of-box state (stock/locked). There are many threads on this.
Or follow instructions here (you may need to register): MotoDev
Load up MZ604 Wifi (HWI69) - and go back through setup.
Once you enter your Google account - it will download your software and reload your wifi settings, etc.. Then let it go through the various OTA updates through ICS 404.
You'll have to redo your screens - but you'll get back a working Xoom.
Hi everyone I'n not technically new here, I have used this forum for anything android related from my first android phone, However I have never posted here so bare with me please if it is in the wrong section.
So my story is this, I have had another galaxy s3 before this one which i hard brick because a rom on another website was listed wrong and i installed the international version. After receive my new S3 from Verizon i learned very quickly that I couldn't live without root. So i followed the newest guide to rooting. After I followed the guide completely I ended up with a rooted phone that has No Lockscreen. What i mean by that is when i press the power button to turn the screen off and when it is turned back on it goes straight to the home screen. Even alternatives like (Holo locker and Go Locker) don't work. Also when the phone is factory rest it doesn't bring me to the welcome screen where I'm suppose to set up a new phone with my username and password. The final problem is that it is always in Factory Mode. I have followed guides that require you to run some SU terminal commands and they have not work. Everytime a boot my phone it is still in factory mode.
I have googled endlessly for a solution and found nothing. Can you please help me?

I originally had my phone rooted but I wanted to update my software to Jelly Bean so I unrooted it.
For some odd reason, the software didn't update even after I unrooted it, and I've tried everything but I think
I messed something up because now I can't even get back to the home screen
It's stuck in the HTC logo white screen and I can get into the bootloader menu page by pressing down on the volume and
power key.
But no matter what I press, like I selected the factory reset but it keeps coming back to the bootloader page.
I just want to get back to my home screen.
I'm a COMPLETE NOOB that does not know anything about flashing rom or boot.img or those things.
Please help I can't sleep because of this
It's probably better to ask questions in the "One S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" forum, in there you will find an ***Emergency Thread***. It would have been more helpful to post exactly the steps you took.
For sure it's recoverable - nothing to lose sleep over!
You will need to come up to speed on the terminological and tools that are used. My suggestion is to have a careful read of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076086. It has a reference to a toolkit - I've not used it, but it looks cool.

Hi guys,
My nexus 5 power button got stuck inside though it clicks well from outside. Problem with this is that the phone reboots continuously. This is a common problem for nexus 5. I fixed this problem by replacing the power button unit on the motherboard.
But now, the phone boots on until the colorful dots circling (lollipop booting) and stays there forever without going any further.(i guess its a boot loop)
I have never rooted my phone or done any tinkering with it.
I have not enabled USB debugging unfortunately and now am not able to change that. At least i don't know how to from bootloader.
I am able to get to the bootloader and get it to unlocked state. But i am not able to flash any image as the bootloader reboots and gets locked again and then i get "flash write failure" for all the commands.
How do i get past this, or is my phone bricked for good?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
