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

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.

[Q] Google Talk Authentication Failed

I'm getting the google talk authentication failed error on my phone and I can't seem to resolve it, google talk works fine on my desk top. I've tried going into flight mode and using wifi to log into google talk that didn't help. This is preventing me from downloading apps, how do I fix it? I've also tried a factory reset, a full unbrick, nothing fixes it.

that's really weird because this JUST happened to me today. SO FRUSTRATING! I did a factory restore/data wipe and that fixed it. Try that.

Are you fixed?

I'm having this problem too, followed GTG's unbrick guide to set it back to factory and, getting emails, txt, and phone calls. web works too. connected to wifi, but getting the authentication failed notice and cannot download anything from the market.

Go into tge stock recovery after you use unbrick. Do that by holding both volume keys down then press the power button. After that, wipe cache and user data.

Perform a factory data reset and you'll be good. Same thing happened to me.

It wont let me install the app you suggested.

I just stumbled across this thread because I was getting the same error on a Mytouch 3G slide and I found a way to fix it. all I had to do was force the phone to authenticate thru wifi and not the cell network once, then I was able to authenticate successfully the regular way after that. the way I did it on my phone was to remove the sim, but on a CDMA phone like yours you could try to activate airplane mode (settings>Wireless & networks), then turn on wifi and connect to a working wifi connection, log into the google talk app, then disable airplane mode.

Worked perfectly for me. All pending downloads started.

Factory reset your phone. If you search Google and type in Google talk not authenticating it will bring up tones of fixes most the same but the work.

How I fixed this on a rooted Droid X (should work for most Android phones)
Again, must be rooted
Rename /data/system/accounts.db to /data/system/accounts.db.bak
Soft Reset phone
Go to Settings -> Accounts
Backup Assistant took a few seconds to appear on my phone
Click on Add Account
Add the Google account that is failing to authenticate
After going through all of the add account screens, go back and rename the /data/system/accounts.db to /data/system/accounts.db.reset (or possibly just remove the file)
Rename /data/system/accounts.db.bak to /data/system/accounts.db
Soft Reset the phone again
If you go to Settings ->Accounts after the reset, wait about 10+ seconds for the accounts that you previously had to show.

The only way to "fix" google talk authentication failure is to do a factory reset from the phone...not cwm...this happens often with gtg unbrick with odin...if u use odin to go to stock dont use the pit..just pda and phone and you wont have this prob...theres a prob with the pit for some reason...

No need for a factory reset, this works just fine.

After cloning a samsung gio s5660 through a CWM backup I started experiencing the same issue. Heres What REALLY happens.
Google authenticates you in their services trought unique "keys" which are automatically generated upon system installation / factory reset, so if you clone your device or install a rom which has these "keys" pre-installed, obviously, your rom will only autheticate you in google servers if your phone is the only one using the service at that given time... Upon failure, your phone assumes to be the one who's wrong, and google servers won't autheticate you until you either tell your phone he is not wrong (by deleting the data from play store, which resets its status and errors) or you change the "keys". SO, what can we learn from this? deleting the play store data IS a temporary solution, and won't solve a thing. Let's delete the duplicated keys shall we?
Navigate with your favourite folder explorer on your android (I use X-plore, you can tell me anything, there's nothing better) to the following directory:
- "(root)/data/data/com.google.android.gsf"
Now you have two real options, either you may delete the all folder, which was the perfect solution for me, since my rom is prepared to re-create it upon phone restart and new keys will be generated, OR, you might want to just delete the contents of app_sslcache inside com.google.android.gsf whish are THE KEYS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL TIME, YEEEIHHHH and reboot your phone...
Needless to say, take a nandroid backup before you do any of this...
Thank me later
For those who remember me from symbian s60v3 phones, yes, it is me, I'm back, and I've moved to the droid world, it's much better indeed
Ps. Moderators, please test this out, I've done it countless times, or else I wouldn't be wasting my time writting this, and make this the "Clonning" for cwm and Google talk authentication error solution, if you will thank you for your time reading my post, regards---

THANK YOU!

[Q] How to restore wifi passwords?

Before flashing my LG GT540 a few days ago, I backed up /data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf, which is the file containing the wifi passwords.
Then after flashing it with a new ROM, noticed that if I replace the wpa_supplicant.conf file, the wifi won't work after rebooting.
To get the wifi working again after a reboot I have to remove /data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf and then turn the wifi on. At this point I can replace again the wpa_supplicant.conf file and everything will work until the next reboot.
How am I supposed to restore the wifi passwords without removing and then reinstalling that file everytime I boot?
Anybody knows the reason of this error? Is there any log file? I couldn't find much from dmesg.
Already posted this same question on the GT540 subforum ten days ago, but got no answers and I think that this issue is not specific to my phone, since it was present in every ROM I tested (some 2.1, some 2.2 and some 2.3).

I would suggest 'wifi key recovery' application, then export them to your phone....

Don't need to see my wifi passwords: already got them from the wpa_supplicant.conf file. I just need to restore them without breaking the wifi.
I was more interested in understanding why my method fails, rather than in finding an app capable of restoring passwords, that's why I posted in the hacking subforum.
Anyway I'll try some apps for for now, thanks for the suggestions!

Lost all app data after crash and forced reboot

Hi, did a quick search but couldn't find anything.
I experienced something very strange and depressing this morning. Running AOSPA 4.1 beta, I experienced a bug with pie that locked my phone up after rotating it while pie was active. Only way I could find out of it was to hold the power button until it rebooted the phone.
When my phone booted back up, I was greeted with the message "System UIDs Inconsistent." All of my gapps started force closing at random times and ALL OF MY APP DATA was gone. All of my apps were still there, just all of the data was gone so every time I opened one, it was like the first time it has ever been launched. It's like a factory reset was performed but all of my user apps are still installed.
I wiped system and reinstalled the rom and gapps hoping to solve it but it didn't fix anything. Used Titanium Backup to try to restore the backed up system ID but it said the current ID matches what's backed up. I then ran fix permissions in TWRP and that fixed the UID message and gapps force closing but my app data is still gone.
I'm hoping the data is still there, just inactive/hidden. My free space on SD seems to be a GB or 2 lower than before the problem but it's been a few days since I checked that so it might be the same as before the issue.
My last backup with Titanium was a few weeks ago so I'm really trying to avoid restoring that if there is some other solution to restore the app data if it's still there. All that Swordigo progress gone with only the final boss to go!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried browsing the app data to see what's there?
I've had similar things happen across multiple devices and typically only a restore has helped.

The data/data folder has a folder for each of my apps but all that's in most of them is a cache folder or lib file but nothing else. I guess it's just gone.

Try fix permissions in recovery.

Fix permissions solved the UID error but didn't fix the issue with the apps having no data.

I haven't got my n5 yet but on pure stock on my nexus 4 I had a forced reboot (do have a custom kernel) and all my Google app data was gone (account, music, ect...) I think it has something to do with fsync being off possibly?

I just gave up and restored to an old backup. Lesson learned... Auto backup now enabled.

Rootkit is monitoring all traffic on router and will not go away after factory reset

I somehow got a rootkit on my phone and it will not go away even after a factory reset. I used Huawei's recovery feature to reinstall the rom and recovery however it is still there.
Nothing shows up with Malwarebytes or Kaspersky.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mate20 pro.

factory reset will not remove anything in system.
Did you really reinstall rom? You must flash FULL version and do full wipe (you will loose all data so back up all photos, sms chats etc) to overwrite system where rootkit likely hiding. If you did that & still it's coming back then maybe it's on your SD card, synced storage, some network you connect to, your router has been hacked & has open port (reflash the firmware & change admin password) an app you reinstall that later infects your phone (so antivirus will not detect when scanning apk), a website you interact with etc etc though some things depend on your phones installed software versions
Change passwords on anything that might be allow access to your phone like router admin & wifi etc
