Bypass Gmail sign-in, Bypass passwords, Bypass screen lock drawing!!!!!

I read this over at tmonews...
"While playing with my G today, I found a way to enter "safe mode" which will bypass the initial gmail signin and allow you to straight to the good stuff with out activating via google. You can also bypass the security drawing pattern.
1. Power off your device
2. While device is powering back on press and hold the "menu" key, keep holding it past the G1 and android splash screen.
Phone will boot all the way to the main screen and display "safe mode" in lower left corner.
I have confirmed that data is still fully operational and all of my downloaded programs."
Very interesting

How about a ROM DUMP?

I think there's already a thread or two about that.

im sorry to say this but the safe mode does not allow to bypass the initial activation screen but it sure does bypass the security screen

Correct I already posted about this. You still have to activate service with Tmobile and Google. Safe mode on the phone is just like on a regular computer help you fix issues.

It runs exactly as u would have it if it wasnt in safe mode the only difference is that u can bypass the security screen and attempt to change the security lock i'll play around wit it later on today

Well being the moder I am. I was smart enough to download that converter program floating around before reading about it and I get non stop errors on the home screen.. but for w/e reason running the phone in safe mode does not let the program load so I get no errors now but I can't unintsall it from the applications uninstall from settings.. it gives me an error when iit treys to compute the program sizes so I I can not run the phone when not in safe mode.. would be awesome if someone could help me here

try connecting it to the computer in debug mode and uninstall using adb

i have been google searching for two hours and i have yet to find how to put commands into the g1 i got the drivers and everything and its recoginzed by my comp but i dont know where i type adb shell uninstall or w/e can you direct me in the right direction?

you need to download the SDK from google. You should see some threads with the SDK or the Emulater... it is all the same. adb is in the tools thread. Ohh and you need to enter "adb -d uninstall (name of apk)"

i tried this and no luck the system still crashes... and you know i wouldnt mind loading factory defaults its just i use shazam and i already have over 150 tags that i do not want to lose and thats all i really need to back up... but i can not access the file system on the phone unless i am missing something :/ this is really killing me i hate when i cant fix something

I just tested and you are correct it doesn't save to the SD card... weird why it wouldn't a couple other applications do besides amazon.

google is your best friend. try searching for a solution. all you have to do is change the APN settings to rogers/fido and go through the gmail activation.

EVDO HTC hero sprint

Hello .. I have my HTC hero back on sprint. but no EVDO or DATA connectiuon at all.. I went to the corporate store and of course the MSL code did not work.. so i told the guy well use 000000 and the guy said .. so u messed with the phone...and i had to say yes...therefore they are not messing with it at all...even when i putted the right MSL.. L*( so. what can I do to get my EVDO DATA back?
I can make calls etc...
my other question is...
if you flash your phone..with STOCK(RADIO,STOCK APPS) and you changed the MSL before...will the STOCK flash do all that it suppose to do?

I had the same sort of thing happen to me when I was trying to pass a rooted Pre to a friend. Using the RUU might sort it out, if it doesn't call customer care and ask them to send out the hands-free provisioning signal again. That will put the right info on your phone. Most of all, don't panic All will be well once again.

That's a problem..the hands free activation starts working when you turn oin the phone but it does not complete it gives an error 1012

that's probably due to the MSL not matching the one on file. have you tried rewriting the correct MSL code to the phone? the handsfree activation and profile update should work after that.

Yes I did that...They gave me the MSL...and It does matches the one on file...I am going to try using the RUU again ..

fix
Take the phone back to the store all they have to do is reprovision the phone. If the won't work on the.phone factory reset the phone. I work for Sprint and either will work.

But I am thinking that Update Profile...and Hands Free activation need a EV or 3g whatever connection...right? I don't have it there is no ICON
Just to make sure.. I am running the RUU properly...I have to go to the bootloader( 3 android skaters) and select Fastboot right?

3 things I can think of that worked for me the other day, you will need your MSL and do a ##RTN# (##786#) hit menu then reset. It will ask for MSL but it will also delete everything. should work as long as you have 1.5 based off the 1.29 or 1.56.. Or you can try ##DATA# (##3282#) and reset the data profile. If that does not work call sprint or go into your local store and have them reset your Vision username. 1 of those 3 things should get you where you need to be. If they do not work it is more than likely hardware related.
Just wanted to note as I am still an active employee for sprint as well, a data provision will not work, they will only be able to go these routes in this case, so def. back up any information you may want to keep if you have not already.

ok thanks for all the replies...I just came from a Sprint store, and they guy said that my DATA was not provision properly and I have to wait 1 hour take out the battery ... and turn the phone on again..that should do it...if it does not I ll call Sprint and have them reset my Vision Password ... Thankss!

Ok I think I know what's the problem...First I don't have a recovery thing....HOME+POWER ON brings me to a Exclamation ICON I guess there is where my info should be ... and because the phone was rooted before that image is gone...so the ##3282# USERNAME menu is empty...where can I get that info? that suppose to be there? IP, etc

Your data information will populate automatically once provisioning completes, Id try calling tech support having them reset your vision user name not password then preforming a RTN or doing the RUU prior which should reset everything to what it needs to be prior to root.

FIX
It is not the username and password. It is the fact that the phone is not recognizing there is a network available i have seen this issue a bunch of times. you are going to have to do a hard reset (not a ##786#)or you can take it back to the store and have them provision the phone through icss.

I have done Hard Resets more than 5 times. now ... So i am getting a new phone, and that's it .. I'm tired of goind around with my phone..having i consirderation that my phone was in Metropcs and then to Sprint , maybe that screwed something, ahd the guys over in the corporate store don't want to work on it.

if you were in my area i would help!!

Hard resets will do nothing... Run the RUU... Your MSL has no ties to your provisioning.. So I don't know why that keeps coming up.. I'm not sure how Metro does things, but to take that ESN to another carrier usually needs a radio flash and if they had done that, you will not be able to use it unless you reflash the sprint RUU...
You cannot exchange a phone that you have maliciously changed... It has nothing to do with the phone, its the user....

I have run the RUU several times aswell, and I have insurance on the phone, so I hope I can get one tomorrow.

Hey, he bought the phone. There is nothing 'malicious' about him modifying or customizing 'his' phone. The only thing malicious here is your attitude. Well, that and the phone company Nazis warping the brilliant idea that Google had when the Android was first conceived. It wasn't supposed to be about control, or about 'nickle and dime-ing' their customers to death reselling features that are already built into the OS.

Bypass setup — is it possible?

I returned my phone to stock UE40. So it's in something like a factory state. I booted up and, as expected, got the language selection screen. After that, I logged into my WiFi network. But I don't want to enter my account info. I just want to get to the home screen. Seems to me I did this very recently, but that may have been on a Nexus device, maybe one with a custom ROM. I don't recall for sure. Anyway, I can't get past that system request for my Google email address. Is there a way to do this where I can just get to the home screen without entering credentials?

One method is to NOT enter your wifi...or to tell it to forget it...maybe pull the sim to so no data connection...then it has no option to setup a gmail account and should let you skip it.
Once at home screen you can go into settings,wifi and re-enable your wifi.

I don't think I was able to get past the wifi request. That's what I tried the first time around. I could reset and try it again. The SIM card is already out.

I reset and tried to bypass the wifi selection. No go. Even if I turned wifi off, the system would just turn it back on and cycle me through language selection and wifi network. Strange. I KNOW I did this recently, but that may have been on a Nexus 6. Probably was.
FWIW, every time I reset the device, it bootloops when I try to boot into the system. Tonight, this happened a few times. First, when I wiped the device, flashed a system image, and tried to boot into it. Then, a few more times when I reset from stock recovery. Each time, I'd power the phone off during the bootloop and then restart. And it would be OK.
No matter. I'm where I need to be. Just wondered if there was a way around wifi selection and and entering an email address.

Sorry to bump this thread,
But I'm having a similar issue. I restored the phone and booted fine. Until I got to the setup page, I couldn't skip it so I login in my credentials and the "protect your phone" prompt appeared and sent me back to the language screen.
I’m restoring it again using the restore software 4.9.2 tool, since I had the 5 percent issue earlier and I’m going to try again and see if I can skip it.
Of course I’m unable to set up usb debugging as I can’t at least accessing the main home screen.
Any advice suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks.

Never mind got it working and back on Twrp and flashing. Used an old samsung trick and accessed the developer settings that way.

How you did it?

I can tell you what I did to bypass it.
I first got a USB OTG flash drive from the local computer store. I then downloaded an unsigned apk file from any site that has them. Personally I stumbled upon this solution so I had some random "Unlock your phone" APK on the drive. Anyhow, when the phone was on I plugged the flash drive into the phone and tried to open the APK file, it gave me an error message stating that the app was unsigned but then it allowed me to go into security settings, from there I could turn off all of the google verification crap. After I turned off all of the settings, I wiped the cache on the phone, restored it, and it was fixed. No more verification screen.

i HAVE NO ISSUE ON 6045y WITH STOCK FIRMWARE OR WITH DCZ FIRMWARE. I can bypass the setup screen normally.

Network locked requiring master unlock code

.

I had to call Samsung
oopsies said:
Ok, I figured it out. This is how I did it in case someone else encounters the same problem in the future:
1) wipe cache
2) factory reset phone
3) after setup, immediately put in the non-Bell network SIM card. Then enter the network unlock code. Reminder, if you are in Canada, CRTC requires all carriers to give you the unlock code for free even if you're not a customer.
Now you can go and root your phone, etc. I hope this helps someone!

I tried your way but it did not work for me. the issue got solved after I called Samsung because of two different code need to be entered simultaneously more than once.

I got trolled by FRP

My girlfriend wanted to sell her mother's old S7 and I was tasked with wiping/resetting it. When the phone asked me for the password to the Google account, I thought "Don't try to trick a trickster, puny phone!" went straight into recovery mode and factory reset. Worked like a charm, I could create a new account, use playstore, phone ready to sell. So I went into recovery again, factory reset again and - fast forward a few days - the phone was sold and sent back, because after the 2nd reset FRP triggered and the buyer could not use it.
Main problem: The new account I created. I remember only [email protected] and the password.
Since it asked for _a_ previous owners login, I already tried gf's mother's, but that won't work.
So, is there a way to find out the test account? Otherwise, I found this method by tpierce89 to bypass FRP, but I guess at least I'd need the correct firmware to reflash, it says G930FXXS8ETC6.
Any ideas?

It's the test account it's asking for, surely you can guess what it is? test account? test phone? test something?
Always sign out and remove the google account before any modification.
I'd be suprised if the method you've linked still works but you can try.

I tried all combinations I could think of. The thing is, I put in test and something as name and used the first gmail suggested.

Will do in the future, but since I don't do these things regularly anymore, I wonder what they think of until the next time.
What puzzles me is, why could I log in after the first reset, didn't put in the password then and FRP didn't trip.
Well, it looks like we have to pay for unlocking, hope it won't be more than the price we took for the phone.

It depends on the firmware you had, some allow x amounts of factory resets before FRP kicks in. Its usually the network branded firmware which allows this.

AFAIK it was unbranded straight from amazon.de

Well my advice is to turn off FRP lock, it's a nuisance. It's not like a theif is going to bring you the phone back because they can't use it. They'll just throw it away or use for parts.

Yeah, to me it feels like you own your device another bit less.
Anyway, is there a way to get around FRP on that phone now? Or do you mean turn it off on new phones?

Sign into Google online with the same email and password your using on the device. Then device activity and notifications, then review devices. Select the phone your want to disable, then the red "remove" button. Sign out online.
Make sure sync is turned on, so the Google account can sync with the phone and turn off FRP lock.
Then after that to check. Turn phone off, press volume down+home+power to boot into download mode, read what it says about FRP lock in top left.
Then just reboot phone by pressing volume down to cancel download mode.
Other way is just remove Google account from phone before modification.
