You know, it would be great if many people test this. As I have only an x10 mini pro, it's rather hard for me to test this on other devices .

No problem, bro, that's what I made this thread for. Anyway, thanks for reporting back!

I couldn't remember my unlock pattern. Tried flashing the .zip on my HTC Evo 4G LTE running Dirty Unicorn (based off Paranoid Android) but it didn't work (I'm Rooted, unlocked, S-Off with TWRP installed).
I was able to get in using my Google account after all though. The "forgot password" button didn't show before but it did after I rebooted and tried the pattern unsuccessfully 5 times. It showed up then (maybe the button stops showing AFTER 5 unsuccessful attempts until you reboot?).

SMS Bypass
Check out this app I made based on this principle.

Hey folks!
Assuming you forgot the Pattern/Password that you use to secure your phone. Of course,
you could get in using your Gmail account Password...
But what if you don have an account or you forgot the password to that, too???
Here are two possibilities:
.
.
.
B. For everyone without a recovery version installed:
What you need:
-A computer running a Linux distro (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) NOTE: This Guide was written for MINT 14, but it should work on other distros, too.
-a USB cable to connect your phone to the PC
-adb installed (look at quick tutorial below)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Connect you (turned on) Phone to the Computer via USB.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Type
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
rm *.key
4. Done!
Now you just have to reboot.
NOTE: The Pattern lock will probably still show up, but you can type in anything you want, as it will accept anything!
Please test this on every Android OS, as I have only tested it on GB so far, but, theoretically, it should work on any Android Version & ROM.
I know there are similar threads on xda, but this is the first that offers a tutorial for getting past almost all locks (Password, PIN, Pattern) instead of only he Pattern, and, of course, the first to offer a flashable zip.

I can confirm that i've tested this (Method B), using ADB in Windows and it worked on my Xperia T (Jellybean, firmware 9.1.A.1.141). Couple of points 'USB debugging' has to be enabled on the phone, had to add a 'su' command before the deletion line.
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
[B]su[/B]
rm *.key

Great

WoW I was looking for this thing and here I am got this one ...
Thankz OP

Tried on Canvas A116, didn't work.

So say I had a att gs4, no root, no recovery. Just stock, would this work?
S-OFF
Boot Unlock (TAKE THAT AT&T!)
TWRP 2.6.3.0
Running something that'll probably change in a few days

for option B the manual is incomplete, missing add that you need to have previously active USB debugging option, if you had not activated, it will not work.

The zip did not work for me on a KitKat 4.4, BUT... I was able to delete the password files in /data/system with "fastboot boot openreco.img"... Luckly I had an unlocked phone. It has a file browser in advanced, came in handy.

Thanks Mate!

[Q] fjfalcon swap

Is there a way that i can reinstall the swap directly from my xt720 without have to hook to my computer or be at home? If so would someone please be kind enough to share this info with me.
Nope. Because of Motorola's locked bootloader, we have to use fastboot over USB.

Cant see how you could, knowing you need Android SDK and fastboot to boot the kernel. So I guess no.
can i do fastboot from a mac or linux emulator? cos my external hdd just crashed and i have my windows VM on it which i use for rsdlite.
Yes you can.
All you need is kernel: http://xt720.ru/Files/Kernel/boot2.img
And fastboot tool: http://xt720.ru/Files/Tools/fastboot
Don't forget chmod +x to fastboot and run it as root(or use sudo)

It's always been that way. You have to fastboot to get the custom kernel with the locked bootloader.

am i supposed to adb reboot into bootloader and from there reboot the phone into fastboot? what am i supposed to type on a mac? because you need the boot.img to be in a specific directory on windows, but im not sure about doing it on mac. should i put the boot2.img into the android sdk too? sorry for asking so many questions, but i dont wanna risk bricking or anything. thanks!
edit: after i watched reverendkjr's vid again i decided to try and i put the boot into platform-tools and from there i rebooted into bootloader, and then typed fastboot boot boot2.img and now my phone is on [email protected] #7
but just curious, what was the chmod + x for?
Allow to launch fastboot binary.
I'm on XDA-SPECIAL-HELLMONGER-RC2. when I run - chmod 777 /system/etc/unit.d/00_swapon it fails and says"Read only file". And swap is not enabled by fastboot.. wondering what am i doing wrong?

Brian! Welcome! There's a thread about your ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206018
You may need to post 10 times before you can reply there though. So, how's the weather?
which one should i use for cm6.3 rc3? havent fastbooted for a long time. ive tried boot2 but when i fastboot, setcpu doesnt show any swap. in my notifications, android keeps "checking sd card for errors". any help?
For now, is there any way to fastboot fjfalcon's kernel without using any PC?
I've heard something about hot reboot that reboots the phone but keeping the fjfalcon's kernel.
Thanks for the info.

[q] [xoom 2] i think it's bricked

Uhm, I have a XYBOARD 10.1 inch (WIFI ONLY) And I edited something in Build.PROP. I then restarted at to my surprise it goes completely black after it shows the Motorola DUAL CORE screen. I can get into the recovery. I even Factory Resetted thinking that might help but, Nothing. Is there anything I can do to restore it? Because I'd rather not have an expensive XYBOARD paper weight.
BUMP? I really need help.
if you can get to recovery, you should be able to push stock OS via ADB.. there is a guide in the Xoom development section.

Also, How do you push it on using ADB?
I think there is no way to solve the problem. Send it to Motorola and will fix it for you.

As the XOOM2/Xyboard has a locked bootloader and no bootstrap for a recovery so your stuck right now until Motorola decides to care about the Android community. Also adb is not possible from what I heard when it can't boot. If you want some help then contact the not many Xyboard devs here "Bricks" as they are always happy to help bricked people.

I'm in the same situation as you as of today (But I have the Verizon Droid Xyboard 10.1). Messed around with the Build.prop and now its not working. I have a copy of the original Build.prop but don't know how I can push it to my tablet.
Adb is not working but fastboot is.
I don't think my original build.prop would be any help to you since I have the 4G version but if you want it let me know and I will send it to you!
Looks like I may have to send it to Motorola :-(
OK guys, no worries... I think I know the solution.
1 - enter in recovery
2 - open cmd on your PC
3 - go to adb and fastboot folder via cmd
4 - type:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
cd /system
rm build.prop
exit
5 - copy original build.prop to this folder (adb one)
6 - type:
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot
exit
Hope that helps you guys it already helped me (I have the Origina Xoom)

Just one more little thing, I presume you guys have su, as you changed build.prop and recovery (because to install super user recovery is needed!) If you guys don't have them, I'm sorry but don't know a solution...

[GUIDE] Unlock and Root a Nexus 7

I found less detailed guide on rootzwiki created by birdman, but i decided to repost it here in more detail.
* Disclaimer: I do not take any responsibility for anything you do to your phone, whether be brick, break, or somehow mess it up.
Requirements
1. You must have the sdk installed and you are able to access, and use adb and fastboot.
2. You must have debugging enabled on your Nexus 7.
3. Download Su here (Chainfire's thread for supersu) (Thanks Eric_Eric_Eric)
4. Download CWM here. Scroll down to Nexus 7 and choose whether touch or regular.
Pre-Steps
To make this easier, you should put the su zip on the sdcard for later.
1. In terminal, cd to the directory you have your sdk in. Then cd into platform-tools.
2. Type adb push path-to-zip/JB-SuperSU.zip /sdcard
Unlocking Your Nexus 7
To unlock your device
1. cd to platform-tools
2. Reboot to the bootloader - adb reboot bootloader
3. Unlock your device* -
fastboot oem unlock ​*You will have to accept and erase all the user data on the tablet.
*You must run this as sudo in Linux
Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery
(You're still inside the bootloader)
4. Flash CWM -
fastboot flash recovery path-to-img/CWM-grouper-recovery.img​5. Make CWM Permanent -
1. Boot into recovery​2. Go to Mounts and Storage​3. Mount /System​4. Type in Terminal*​adb shell
cd /system
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak​
If your having trouble gaining shell, try "adb kill-server" then "abd start-server". Couple of my friends had this problem, and this should hopefully fix it.
* For some people, it has been reported that you don't have to replace recovery-from-boot.bak. The flash is enough to make the recovery stick.
Flash Su
1. Go back by pressing power button​2. Install the zip in the sdcard​
Reboot and your device is now rooted!!
For anybody having trouble trying to use fastboot and come up with a no-permissions error or adb ????????? problem, I created a guide to fix the problem here: [GUIDE]Fix Fastboot and USB

What he wrote about pushing SU to /sdcard is correct. I have a Transformer Prime and ASUS called the internal storage /sdcard, which is a little counter intuitive. I presume the same situation exists with the Nexus 7.

But an answer, again, no, there isn't. You need to download the sdk, and install the tools. then just cd to platform-tools, and use adb like i said. If your in windows, use adb.exe then the arguments, but if your in linux, just use ./adb. Same thing with fastboot.

hey, a big welcome shivam. you will love the people around here.

i've heard that huawei cards do work on this one(mine is d-link so no cake for me).
but somehow, if we gain root. then most of the things will work in it.(things like bluetooth, gamepads)

Hi ,
Can the developers please mention which all methods have been tried and resulted in failure or bricking of the device. This may help other people to avoid those chances. Also has any one tried installing sparkyroot.apk . infinity has the same config as xtab.
Rooting
Here is the description of different methods i tried on it.
unlockroot: recognizes the device, flashes its name. but after "trying to get shell root permissions", it just returns to normal.
superoneclick: freezes on step 4 "failed to set prot mask"
Sparkyroot: doesnt even starts its process "SU binary not installed"
maybe the long way (the one used to get root permissions on pre-froyo era) through ADB may work here after some modifications, of course, but have no experience using adb ))
did you guys try any other?
First i would like to say,i dont own this fun book tab...Im a proud owner of galaxy note...
Ok that being said,to gain root all you must need to do is push susperuser.apk to/system/app and its binary "su" to /system/bin to gain root...now you guys need to find a way to do this...if anybody knows to use adb you can try any exploit...sorry if you guys already know it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I havn't tried any yet. Just bought the device yesterday evening and searching the net fo any hit.
Or if you device runs android 4(ICS) you can try to put a cwm zip containing the required files in your external sd,boot ibto recovery and select apply update from external sdcard and select the zip.It might work in a easy way....Because afaik ics allows to install zips from external sd which are test signed...
Note1:The zip must be named update.zip to work.create the zip then sign it and pls dont edit anything after signing as it may break the signature
Note2:if you dono to enter recovery you can try "adb reboot recovery" command in adb(without quotes)

@ creagrox, thanks for welcome note,
If I can use 3G dongle, definitely, I am interested in rooting.

[rom] [kfsowi 2013] kindle water beta 1!

***DEPRECATED***
THERE ARE FAR MORE FUNCTIONAL ROMS AT THIS POINT!
PLEASE VISIT http://www.kfsowi.com FOR MUCH BETTER ROMS!
I'm going to leave this up just because.
ROM
•°•KINDLE WATER Beta•°•
Beta 2
Based on 11.3.2.1, and I recommend NOT doing this on http://11.3.2.2/11.3.1.0 as I don't know if the kernel has changed to be incompatible. UPDATE: this IS compatible with other versions, there is just an extra step I added below.
Special thanks to Gran PC. Without his help, this wouldn't be possible.
So, what is Kindle Water Beta? Kindle water beta is a far superior firmware to the one that comes stock on our Fire HD's. Why you ask? This is why:
FEATURES:
•No Amazon Garbage
•No Lockscreen Ads.
(They show up again. Turn them off by going to /data/securedstoragelocation/ in a file explorer, select the adunits folder, and remove all permissions)
•No Unwanted Updates
•Wallpaper
•AOSP settings
•Cyanogenmod Gallery App
•Google Play Store & services included & working
•XPOSED Included
•Better navbar using UDN. (Configure in UDN app. Setting it to appear by swiping up from the bottom of your screen is the best way to configure it)
•Gravity box included (Set it to hide Navbar or you will get a double Navbar)
•APEX Launcher
BUGS:
•Not everything is set up perfectly on first boot. You may need to play with Gravity Box, Apex Settings, and UDN to get everything working right. (Specificaly: Set UDN's Trigger to be a swipe from the bottom of the screen, Hide Navbar in Gravity Box, and Turn on tablet ui in Apex if you'd like)
•Some Settings Menus don't work. (Only nonessential ones)
•"Wireless" and "Help" status bar pulldown shortcuts are broken
-------------
CHANGELOG:
•Beta 2- More internal Amazon things have been removed from the ROM.
•Beta 1- First release (Removed)
-------------
INSTALLATION:
(Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for broken devices, but I will try to help you fix it if it does not work)
(Downloads below)
(REPLACE "PATH/TO/DOWNLOADED" WITH THE PATH TO YOUR DOWNLOADED FILE!!!)
•Download Gran PC's minisystem image from his Google Drive page. (Link is posted below)
•Move my system.img (each beta version is in its own named folder in my Google drive, the link is below) to your kindle's SD card.
•Plug powered-off kindle into your computer with fastboot cable.
*•If coming from a version NOT 11.3.2.1, download the boot-prod.img from my Gdrive, (Same link as
Roms down below) Then type "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot /path/to/downloaded/boot-prod.img" and hit enter and wait for it to complete.*
•fastboot flash the minisystem image. (fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system /path/to/downloaded/minisystem.img)
•when it finishes, unplug the Kindle and turn it off.
•plug it in with a REGULAR micro-usb cable.
•It will boot up into a very minimal system. (No UI at all I believe)
•type "adb shell" hit enter.
•type "su" hit enter
•type "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9" hit enter.
WAIT FOR IT...
•When it finishes, hard reboot your tablet.
•It should boot up and you're good to go.
•activate ALL xposed modules in the xposed installer app. This will enable wallpaper and block updates. Goto gravitybox's lockscreen area and enable rotation to fix it not rotating.
•lockscreen ads will show again. Turn them off by going to /data/securedstoragelocation/ in a file explorer, select the adunits folder, and remove all permissions).
Thats all.

Shouldn't you be making backups before flashing.

Yeah, but I think that's a given.

Will surely try this later on tonight.
The link to the minisystem img file is a 404
Flashing a ROM with no disaster recovery or at least a backup is risky. @Mineturtle33 do you have a source code for this? It's a nice start though. That tablet may get a full makeover yet.
Edit: If there is a source code available.

The 2013 has a method to recover to stock, making backups its useless though because the system image is too big for fastboot's buffer, hence we have a weird recovery procedure. This is interesting, I'll have to check how big the system.img is out of curiosity.

No source for the ROM, but I believe there is for the minisystem.img. Feel free to modify/redistribute this as much as you'd like.

Well,not quite. Gran PC found something called "fastboot multiflash" which allows you to flash ridiculously large system images. I don't know how it really works. You can check it out in his Google Plus post.

The reason I use the minisystem to dd the system.img to /system instead of fastboot flashing is because the img file can't fit in the fastboot buffer. @Anonymous.123

Hi,
I've try to upgrade my kindle, but when I connect it with fastboot cable the system (Win7 32bit) configure it like Adb Android but the command adv devices not recognize any.
I also try with on Ubuntu 13.10 and also here the adb devices not recognize any.
Can you send me the driver you have used to install ?
Thanks a lot.
First of all. Make sure adb is on in settings. Secondly. You don't need adb until you install minisystem with fastboot. Use Ubuntu. I do not give drivers support for windows. @slim_s200

o.0 this is interesting i looked it up on google, very interesting way to implement that, if what i read is that same, then fastboot on the pc would split it up into several segments and then send them in multiple flashes. Thats pretty cool.

When you plug it in with a fastboot cable, you don't need adb commands, and adb won't see it. You need to use fastboot commands.

This is great!
Would you mind posting some screenshots of the AOSP settings and status/nav bars?
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the advantage does this have over CM11?

Well,none. But at least it is better than the stock Amazon OS. And by better I mean REALLY good? .

Thanks for your reply, but, I've ask fot the drivers because when I've try to type the fastboot command it returned the error "File minisystem,bin" not found!
I've check the path, but this is ok, /storage/sdcard0/FILE.bin and also try /sdcard/FILE.bin nothing change, any ideas?
Thanks.
