Hi, I've a tablet which needed to be reset from recovery, at boot it asked to login to google account, I've tried all I have but seams I can't guess the right one. This version of Android don't let me skip this process, I've also tried to cut the network down, and all else I've read in google, there is no escape. I've wiped data and cache from recovery, didn't help. I've tried with ADB to send a "adb shell dpm remove-active-admin eu.sisik.devowner/.DevAdminReceiver" but I'm unautorized.
How can overcome it? How can I get an autorized from ADB of recovery console? There is any apk that can I upload that delete that info?
If not I have to trash the tablet and buy a new one (((
Thank you
It looks that USB-debugging ( AKA ADB ) didn't get properly enabled on the tablet, hence none of ADB commands will ever work. This cannot be changed afterwards.

Hello all. I hope this community that looks so professional can help me with this, I will help as far as I can people here too, however Android is not my strong point.
Well, I've been asked to get access to a Samsung Galaxy Mini that is password locked. The owner of this device is not a computer-friendly person, neither a device-friendly one. So we have the password lost, and USB debugging is disabled neither root has been applied to this device. So, I've been reading some threads here, and that's what I've done:
1. Reboot the device and enter into system recovery mode.
2. I tried to do an "adb push" to put the rooting file into sdcard but I got a "permission denied" message.
3. I tried to access /data/system/ directory to delete password.key but I can’t do the “cd” to this directory.
So I don’t know what to do. We don’t want to reset the device to factory defaults. What could I do? Any help will be appreciated.

This worked for me:
1. Enter to recovery
2. Plug your phone to a computer and start adb
3. Type the following commands:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
su
rm *.key
And then reboot your system and you will not be asked for the pattern or password (my case)

Hello,
So long story short my brothers an idiot and installed a "Flash Player" because he thought he needed it. Now he has the "Prism FBI Child Porn/Bestiality" ransomware installed. I can get into safe mode and I am unable to uninstall the app. It is listed as "XXXVideo Droid Porn." It does not exist in safe mode under "Device Administrators" so the uninstall button is locked in normal and safe mode. I have since rooted his phone and I can gain access via ADB, I figure removing the package via ADB is my only option at this point. Within the shell I can gain Superuser access and can navigate fairly well having just learned how to do all this in an hour. So far I am having no luck locating the package or where to go at this point to remove this for him. I have tried Avasts ransomware removal tool as well as some others but none of them are working. I can get into these apps and run them normally but after about 30 seconds the ransomware starts and cuts off any progress made, and none are available in safe mode. About the only thing I can find is when I connect through the ADB Shell and list the packages I recognize all but one. It is labeled "package:ysvv.dvvsg.bfydrij." I cannot find any information online regarding this package, I even hail mary-d and tried to uninstall the package but it failed. I have also searched through the root folders looking for some hint of where it could be. If there is a way to enable one of these in safemode to try and have them run it then i cant find it. Or if there is some shell command to list packages by install date, I can try to uninstall it that way.
So any help at this point would be appreciated. Sorry if this is the wrong area but after a few hours working on it I am at a loss.

Your best bet is gonna be to fully wipe the device. Then reload the rom.
[Solved!]

Actually I was able to do it without wiping the phone.
I just navigated to /data/app and did the "rm" command on the suspicious package and it worked. The prism ransom ware became broken and I was able to boot up normally and delete the broken piece of the app.
-----
adb shell
su
pm list packages -3 [found the start of the ransom ware]
cd /system/app
ls [found the ransomeware .apk file here]
rm /system/app/ysvv.dvvsg.bfydrij-2.apk
------
Then it worked
Hello all,
So I have a Kindle Fire HDX and I decided to try play around with safestrap on it. It was going well but me being stupid didn't realise that when I was wiping everything, I was not just wiping the contents of the rom slot but the entire device! So I am in a soft-brick state at the moment, which is OK because I have been here with lots of devices before, just not any quite as restricted and complicated as the HDX. So my only option is to push the zip file or sideload it through ADB, which seemed to be a fairly easy task. My first challenge was installing the necessary drivers for windows 8.1 to recognise the device in adb sideload mode. I managed to do this successfully however now I have a problem when trying to sideload or push files to the device. When sideloading, the server starts successfully but I get a *failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' * error. When trying to push files I get an error:closed, the same by running the usb command (I am not sure what this one does but I seen it as a possible solution so have tried it). When I run the devices command I see my device connected and it is shown to be in sideload mode. I have tried the following in order to resolve this error, all have been unsuccessful:
New USB cable
Different versions of ADB (minimal and android studio)
Different computers and operating systems (each again with minimal adb and android studio)
Updating the packages in android studio, including installing the official kindle fire driver from amazon
Killing the server and starting again
None of these steps have helped and I am finding this to be incredibly frustrating as in every thread I have read online one of these solutions has managed to fix the problem for the person asking the question. I figured there isn't a place on the internet with a better knowledge and understanding of adb than here so there would be no better place to ask. Any help you guys could offer would be much appreciated. Also I am relatively new (and dumb) when it comes to adb and using the command line so if you guys could dumb it down as much as possible that would be brilliant.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have also noticed that when trying to format the device from the TWRP menu I get an 'unable to locate device to partition' error. I'm guessing this has something to do with it
Just thought I'd update this thread with the fix I found in case anyone else in future has this problem and googles around. I am not sure if I specified but the issue was with a kindle fire hdx 7". Safestrap would not let me change the active rom slot to the default OS and it was stuck in rom slot 1. So I contacted amazon and asked them if there was anything they could do to help me. They started off by giving me the usual reset by holding the power button. I thought there is no way that could fix it because I wiped the system files and that is the problem (I could see from TWRP that the system files were empty). So just in case I done as he said and after holding for a full 40 seconds, the previously soft bricked kindle booted back into the stock os and whilst it was completely wiped, it was now fully functional! I am sure this will only work for a very small percentage of people with a soft brick but definitely try it none the less. I would be interested to hear anyone who actually knows the technical aspects of this chime in with what happened here. Did it just look like I wiped the entire system in TWRP because it was hiding the system files? (even though I could see the folder and it appeared empty). Or does the kindle have a built in recovery drive through which it will replace these files when the power button is held for 40 seconds?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist if you are getting partition error then possibly your partition table is wrong rectify it and see
Good luck!

Hi, I've come to these forums because you guys are knowlegeable.
I essentially uninstalled thorugh ADB the package installer (com.google.android.packageinstaller) and little did I know that was a big mistake on my part, as I didn't realize the package installer was a core part of the system. All was going well until i turned on and off my phoen, and it is now always stuck in recovery mode.
- Rebooting the phone just sends me back to the menu.
- I've not tried wiping the data yet, since I want to keep my files (for the moment).
- Connect with MiAssistant allows me to connect my phone to my PC, but it in sideload mode automatically. I can go in fastboot mode though, and fortunately I have turned USB Debugging on.
As I've come to realize, a factory reset or flashing a ROM would fix my issue, but also delete all my files (photos, music...). I was planning to do a backup of my photos, but now it's too late.
Is there any way I can access my files and pull them to my PC on sideload/fastboot mode?
The only thread i have seen with a similar problem is this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487147
I also get the error:closed when I try an adb pull.
Thanks in advance.
