ok, i read somewhere on slatedroid, that one could remove "register" button, by renaming a file via root explorer. and i cant find the damn thread anywhere now, cause the topic was something else. anyone, the name of the file, and a possibly a location ?

I don't recall that we're able to remove the register button by renaming a file, but if you rename the checkin service .apk extension to something else (or freeze it in titanium backup) it won't continue to ask you to register and you can press the button and nothing will happen.
If you do find a file to rename to remove the button itself, please do share...

Hi, I have the same Huawei adapter, and when you enable PIN on the simcard, does it come up with a enter PIN screen on yours? (and FAILS? Even if the pin code is correct?)

I know PIN is correct because the dame moden abd pin work fine with my Windows XP computer.

after downloading the update 3 times it finally worked .. it asked to reboot so i did before i entered the code i made sure it was connected to my wireless network entered the key that came with the device and it worked right off the bat so after that i rebooted the tablet and everything is working perfect can make calls on skype now yay

hello
firmware update 1568 does not work for me with SD card
if you have a solution ???
merci

try this if u cant register ur tab.
BEFORE u flash to a new firmware use root explorer to go to cache/profile/ and delete the file in that folder
now flash the tablet whichever way works for you
once u connect to the wifi enter ur original registration and it should work

works perfect !

success with the 1568 update.zip ... for whatever reason it didnt like my 2gb or 4gb SDHC cards but when I found an old 1gb Kingston one it happily upgraded itself
(shrug)
unfortunately cat broke the screen, glass is spiderwebbed but the LCD is undamaged and the touchscreen works fine, is the aforementioned £32 eBay replacement what I need then or is there a cheaper alternative given the two expensive/important bits are fine?

I haven't my registration. So, that, It will not work for me.
Anyway, all apps and market are working. I renamed the wowupdate.apk, so, I'm not seing the annoying registration pop-up. The only annoying thing I see yet is the word RGISTER in the upper bar. I can leave peacefully with such annoying word.

The only way for me was to put the sim in my phone and setup it to no to ask for the pin.
returning to my Huawei pen worked like a charm.

remove 3G signal from status bar & 1561 update!
Please,
Do someone know how can I remove that stupid 3G signal from the status bar at the top screen? This tablet doesn't have a phone app, of course, neither 3G, so, I'd like to get rid of this...
And what about the "1561 update"? Does it worth the download? Does it remove installed apps? If someone got it, I'd like to know what is new... Thanks!

As i know 3g status bar only appears if you enable 3G connection into the 3G settings applecation. by the way an useful program to manage connection (wifi, gps, bluetooht, 3G) easly and quicliy is quicksettings available on the market and free

[Q] [i9023] [SOLVED] No keyboard for getting past lockscreen

SOLVED THE PROBLEM; SEE BOTTOM OF POST FOR SOLUTION
Here's the deal, kept short:
Wife's Nexus S just updated to Android 4.1.2
Wife disabled the stock keyboard, because SwiftKey was disabled whenever she restarted her phone
Password on lockscreen
No keyboard for entering the password, only voice input (wtf)
Phone is not developer, so I cannot use ADB; [adb shell input text <password>] followed by [adb shell input keypress 66] is not an option
Phone is not rooted, running stock Android 4.1.2 from Google
and, yes, my mom agreed: I'm special
What can I do? Resetting/wiping the phone to factory defaults is just as much an option as entering the password.
Update:
Tried speaking the password, did not work
Tried following a hard factory reset-guide, did not work
PM me if you have the same problem.

How could she disable the stock keyboard? You cannot disable it unless you're rooted.

It is entirely possible with Android 4.1.1, apparently. See attached image. My phone is in Danish, but the marked button is the Disable-button. Also, 'Android-tastatur' means 'Android Keyboard'.

Oh boy she really went out of way to disable it haha! You're not supposed to disable a keyboard like that, rather uncheck it from the input section in the settings. I have no idea myself, I was just curious. :/

Unless you're going to factory reset, which should leave data in the storage alone, then I guess you'll have to speak the password.

Yeah, but it is a random collection of letters and numbers, similar to xxxXxXX##X; x'es are letters, #'es are numbers. Also, it doesn't work. We've tried. As soon as I've waited 5 minutes, I will update the description.

I may be wrong, but maybe someone else can help me out.
Try going into download mode and downloading a keyboard from you computer?
Just a thought. Not sure if it would even work.
But then again you said you don't have ADB or whatever. :/
EDIT: Try going to your carrier. :f

He is running stock with no Debugging enabled it won't work. Also download mode is for Odin, not recommended with Nexus devices.
If the device has data and logged into a Google account, then apps can be installed remotely from accessing PlayStore from a webbrowser, though I do not know if it install while in lockscreen mode. Unfortunately, when a keyboard is installed it is not enabled by default until the user select it.
I don't have a Nexus right now but I wonder if one can fastboot boot cwm.img without flashing it thus not requiring a complete wipe via fastnoot oem umlock, I think I'm wrong though. Then you can either clear data, then the keyboard would be reenabled. But since it looks like you do not want to clear the data, I don't know. Probably find a signed update.zip that work with regular recovery, if there is one.
I don't have a solution beside a factory reset.
I wonder if phones thieves find all this useful.

Wiping the data was an option, and that was what we did. I didn't think of the thief-dilemma. Will edit the original post in a few minutes.

From your post we assumed you didn't want to wipe your data, not that you couldn't figure out how to do it. Misunderstanding I believe.

My English sucks sometimes, sorry. I see where the confusion came from. Allow me to be clear (pun intended): Wiping the phone was an option; entering the password somehow was also an option; as long as I could do it myself, without bricking the phone, and as long as I didn't have to buy a new phone it was an option.

No problem, these things happen. At least you fixed your problem.

You may want to start the device in safe mode, I did it that way and was able to change the keyboard to the android stock keyboard. Google your device to find out how to start the device in safe mode.

[Completed] Recently Rooted Galaxy S6 Not getting past decryption by password

Today I decided to root my US Cellular Galaxy S6. I followed the instructions from a link I will comment (new users cannot post links, XDA Forum policy). It all seemed to be going smoothly and my device began to boot. However, as I password encrypted my device not long ago, I had to enter my password to access my device. The problem is now, when booting, it gets to the point where I have to enter my password, but its like the touchscreen does not work. All the actual buttons work, but I cannot use the touchscreen to type in my password. Please Help!

You can use an OTG cable. Connect it to your phone and a USB keyboard. You can find both the cable, and the keyboard at any electronics store. But I'm not sure if you're phone will recognize the keyboard as it is not fully booted. Just hope for the best. Good luck

New S8+ with google FRP problem

Hi All,
I've just received my new S8+ Coral Blue (Korean LGU Plus branded) SM-G955N that I had bought online from Kogan.com.au. I was alittle devastated to see that upon trying to log into it with my Google account, the dreaded "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device" error has occured.
What I've tried:
I've tried factory resetting through stock recovery, but this didnt help.
I've went ahead and downloaded the stock firmware from Sammobile (sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955N/LUC/download/G955NKSU1AQDG/129793/) and flashed it through Odin. I've made sure to flash everything - the AP, BL, CP, Home CSC but the issue is still present.
Is there anyway to get rid of this damned error without rooting or voiding warranty?
Please help!

Galaxy s8+ frp bypass
try adding a network then in the pop up type any work....try holding it down then press assist when it goes to google app type test dpc bypass install it n add a work account.....reset your phone once more and your good to go

Wiz_Kidd,

Just for the record, I cannot get beyond the Google Sign In screen so I dont know where or how to add the network you've explained in your post.

Ok....heres a different way....when you reach at the add account pop up....type any random word and hold it down until you get another pop up then tap on assist....when the google app pop up type test dpc and download it when you complete that contact me

Do you know which software the phone is currently on? You should be able to find the version it's currently on in the recovery menu.

There's only one descent solution:
Return the phone where you bought it and:
1. ask there the log-in account
2. ask for a new phone
You'll never pass FRP (and that's a good thing, in case the phone has been stolen)

Ugh, is this really the only thing to do?. I dont think they would know the login account as I bought it from an online retailer shop. The box wasn't opened and all the stickers on the box were still there (until I opened the box of course).
Theres videos of people passing FRP online. I do believe there would be a way around this. But if it comes to it I can always return it.

So what are you thinking?. The phone is fake or some Samsung engineer logged into it before factory resetting it or something?

Flash the combo fw and eng boot. Should fix your problem

Honestly its quicker and easier for you to return it to Kogan ASAP and get a working replacement *fingers crossed* in your hands quicker.
If anyone is claiming to have a quick fix on YouTube I would be apprehensive and venture to guess that they're just out to make a quick buck off of some unsuspecting suckers. It seems there was some method for the s7 on MM but after some light reading I am under the impression that this method doesn't work on Android 7.0 Nougat.
There may legitimately be a fix out there somewhere but I feel like I would have seen it by now when you include other threads where this FRP question has been brought up. Again I could be wrong but I still think it's just not worth the effort tbh.

Question Is it possible to extract passwords from a device?

I don't speak English, I hope you can understand me.
My mom uses a huawei y3 II LUA-L21. The touch stopped working. The cell phone starts normally.
I buy a new cell phone. however she does not remember the password of facebook, google etc.
could take the cell phone to a technician to repair the touch, which would lose the sense of having bought a new one.
Any solution?
Note.
They know a custom rom for Samsung Galaxy A01 Core. I didn't find one here.

Setup a new phone should do the trick for you, as for your touch problem you can just buy an OTG cable and use the mouse on it.
