Hi, looking for a way to protect the data in casa of loss or steal, i read something about crypting the phone...
Teorically if i do that, and then someone steal my phone, and its locked, he wont be able to read the data because the phone will need a password to startup (or something like that. sorry for my english).
my doubts are, if he connects the phone in the computer via USB... the protection still works, or he can read the data easily?
and this works the same whit the externel sd card if its crypted? if he remove the external Sd card and connect it to the computer, he can read it?
and the last question is, if the phone goes more slow because it has to be crypting and de-crypting data everytime i want to read something?...
Please sorry for my english, i hope you understand something and give me some help about this... thanks
There is a way to ENCRYPT ur fone but it will only ask for password when it is booting. But if u connect it to the computer. I believe he or she can still read the files unless u rly wan tat much security tat u even encrypt ur files. I feel tat encrypting isnt tat much of a use though. It isnt worth the time and effort. Btw the setting for it is at security for stock and most if not all custom roms.
For external sd card, if you encrypt the external sd card. It will require a password even on computer. As the sd card itself is encrypted.
There shldnt be any lags etc when processing it. Even if there is. It wun be tat much.

Ok, thanks... if the data can still be read in the computer i think it isn't worth the time..
Hey,
First flash a aokp or aosp rom so your phone connects with pc via the mtp. If you set a code like a password, pin or something else the device is shown connected with pc, you can click on it but then there is no storage shown. The storage is there if you unlock your phone. So the Internal storage can't be accessed without your code. Then you can setup a code that is required to start your phone. This settings is also provided as standard in android. At least you can download software like WhereIsMyDroid.
Best regards

Idk abt the method u said but i am pretty sure abt one thing abt WhereIsMyDroid. It can be removed with a wipe. Though yeah. U can set it up such tat if u lose it, u can remotely factory reset the phone which is always gd. With the gps feature well. And the remote factory reset, not sure if this will work. I just have to switch on air plane mode and remove the sim card which is both easily done without access to the phone.

The option on the phone encrypts all data, even if accesible it can't be read without breaking the encryption first (ie you get lots of garbage like info).
The downside, you won't be able to flash stuff through recovery since recovery doesn't have a method to undo the encryption. Also, i don't think encryption is reversible, so think twice before you do it.

No it doesnt encrypt all data. The option in settings encrypt the PHONE such tat whenever u switch it on, u have to type a password. Unless u use an app or file on ur computer to encrypt all the data. Otherwise, it wun encrypt the data.

Ok, thanks to all for the help... i wont endrypt it because i've read is irreversible, and if i dont like it i have to flash it again... so its not "that" secure to even worth the time...

Like i said. U have to think the chances of u losing ur fone versus the effort and time u nid to use to encrypt it and the chance of u forgetting the password. And also having to type the password everytime u reboot.

Now I can officially confirm.
The phone is bricked by WIFIunlocker
Now it does not even go to recovery as it asks about the password. Before i could at lease answer the calls but now it does not even load the system and it asks about password.
Same as for this fellow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215590&highlight=WIFIunlocker
On what level it is messing up that full flash does not help?
What needs to be done to unbrick it? The support from developer is not existant anf the app is messing up the phone.
Password is whatever you set the pin unlock code to.
No it is not
that is teh beauty of g4rb4g3 = Garbage development.
It is bricking the phone

The dev gave in to the fact about a password bug. And said he provided a fix.. but that is only installable when you have access to the OS.
This app is hellspawn.
What is the link to that fix?
The app's thread.
mahatma said:
ANd i fixed it again from the brick
Just go to download mode
flush it with stock
after restart try to go to recovery it will ask you about the password
type anything as many timea as it will tell you that if you will try again it will wipe out your internall sd card
of course try once more it will wipe out your sd card and ask you again for password
type anything again and again and it will warn you again that if you try again it will wipe the internal sd card and after that you will see red info that your pass was changed to NULL
restart
and you are in and all is back to normall

Holy ****. What an epic ****ing failure by that dev.
I can only imagine how successful his app will be, after seeing 2 different threads about WifiUnlocker bricking phones. It's a shame crap apps like that reach the market before being thouroughly tested by whoever develops them.
What a bunch of garbage! Glad i never downloaded that app
I have a x10 and I have to reflash it Coz of that wifiunlocker is asks for password for everything and doesn't uninstall after also unstalling through titanium backup it asks for password.

TL;DR -> keep entering a wrong password all the time. Seems it will wipe your SD after that, but that's your way out I guess.
Ok, i will try to provide as much information as possible, but i need your help.
A friend gave me his Galaxy S3, because another person messed up the pattern-lock-thingy and she now has to type in her google mail + password.
The problem is: the keyboard app crashes everytime and it is not possible to write anything.
She has no SD card and she needs to have those photos, which she did not back up, back from her phone.
She has no root and no USB debugging activated.
I need to know if Flashing a Rom (i think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 is a good) or Factory Resetting will delete any of those mediafiles, since she has no SD!
Thanks in advance!

Phone powers on you can try via Windows explorer / usb .See if you can see them in DCIM or wherever .
Alternative read up on Heimdall and ADB .

adb doesnt work, since usb debug is off, and i cant go into settings to turn it on,
usb doenst work as well, kies locks me out, because i have to unlock the phone and windows explorer doesnt show anything.
do you know where photos are saved on by default and if i flash the rom, that i linked at op, if they will be deleted?

i cant access any folders or data on the phone,
it is completely locked down because of the too many pattern lock tries..
and in the thread there are enough roms
Dont know if this helps but when i flashed the custom Omega rom , it formatted the system and some other partition but left my pictures and other files on the internal SD in tact. I did this twice. I backed up anyway just in case.
Some thing very strange happened yesterday, suddenly my pattern I have used for a year now stopped working. when I click forgot password and sign into my google account it still doesn't work (maybe because I have no internet access?) it says wrong username or password. I found a way to reset the gesturekey through adb, but I think the pattern is blocking my adb, because when I have it plugged in adb devices lists no devices... I am pretty sure usb debugging was on though from when I got my token ID for unlocking the bootloader... any help would be much appreciated. factory reset would be very bad because I NEED the playlists I have on my rezound, HOURS were spent on those and I use them a lot for work and I don't think I can recreate them...
If you can get into recovery (power + vol down), you can flash a ROM without wiping data (only cache / dalvic). I think it should disable all screen security (and return all system settings and apps to their original states), but not affect third-party apps. Alternatively, you could flash a system.img from an RUU using fastboot (something like "fastboot flash system system.img"). Any playlists belonging to third-party apps should be unaffected.
I'm not an expert in this, though, so maybe you should wait for confirmation before trying it. It may also be good to make a nandroid backup first.

Yeah... but the problem with that is is that I am bootloader locked. And to unlock my bootloader I need adb... and you cant flash roms with bootloader locked.
I was hoping someone would have an idea to get me adb access to the device so i could use something like this... in hboot and recovery still adb wont recognize

Try hitting the Emergency Call Button on the lockscreen, then while in the dialer you may be able to access the settings via the notification pull down. I know that there have been several phones in the past that have "Overlooked" bypassing the pattern lockscreen in this manner.
You may also be able to access all of the hidden HTC menus through there "Secret" codes in the dialer. I forget what all of them are but its usually #*#*{number sequence}*#*# > call. There might be something in there to enable USB Debugging.
If you get USB debugging working, there is an old temp root script that we originally used to unlock the rez that should give you Root adb shell access. Copy all of the data in the /data/app/{Your App Package Name} to a folder on your SD Card.That is where your playlists should be saved if they are not saved to the SD Card. If they are in the SD Card, they may be under the Android folder somewhere.

Pull your SD card and pop it into the PC... you might luck out and have your playlists there. What app are are they stored in?
I highly doubt that there is a way to do it through HBOOT. HBOOT is pretty much HTC's Utility for Flashing entire partitions from images to the phones NAND w/o the use of a PC and having a lockout control. IE RUU's, Recovery, and Kernels.
Having a locked bootloader means that you can only flash, with HBOOT, PH98IMG.zip files that have been digitally signed by HTC. So no custom recoveries, or PH98IMG.zips that only have system and kernel images.
I highly suggest that if you manage to get your data... that you backup and unlock or S-OFF your phone. Get a custom recovery on there so that you can nandroid backup and have access to a Root Shell in recovery mode.
Titanium Backup can extract User Data from nandroid backups now in case you ever have to wipe data because of an issue like this.

Some people have had luck with a paperclip, but I wasn't able to get it to work after about 30 min of trying. Any piece of wire should be able to work, really. I ended up using a 25-foot speaker cable I had hooked up to my stereo system. Worked fine.

I used a plain paper clip when I did it. Just make sure to ground yourself before hand
You touching some very sensitive parts of the mainboard while doing this
Double Check before hand... I know bootloader unlock wipes your phone. I don't remember if Soff will too
Check your SD Card under the Android and Data folders... your playlists are probably on there somewhere. 98% sure HTC stores playlists on the SD card... just don't remember if it was Internal or External on the rezound
It's best to use a different sd card just in case it gets messed up. Had 2 get deleted, easily fixable , but you will lose data on the card.

He just means to touch your wrist or hand to something metal prior to your phone to discharge any possible static electricity. Check to see where your music is stored by using file explorer or root explorer because if it is on internal it will get wiped.

He is unable to check via this method because of the lock pattern issue. I believe he is trying to S-OFF so he can flash a new ROM and access his playlist data to export it. I am still Unsure if it is stored on the Internal SD Card, External SD Card or in /data
Static Electricity will murder electronics, some test equipment I've worked with would cost 3-5000 dollars to fix after just a 0.2v static charge.... Typical static charge can be upwards of 10,000 V.
While touching something metal will discharge static electricity, it may not discharge all of it. Touch something metal that is connected to earth ground, like the metal of outside of your computer's case.
Also what I meant by double check was research your S-OFF method... it May wipe your Phone, Internal, and/or External SD Card.
I think the playlists are gone..... they wont show up in the stock music app... but alas... I will make do, but I'm gonna make sure to S-OFF, and install a recovery and get a nandroid on my computer so it doesnt happen again, i just unlocked my bootloader and gotta wait till i get home (I am on vacation right now) in a few days to have access to my linux computer then I will be S-OFF thanks again everybody, especially insertnamehere12!

I think hard reset means rebooting your phone by holding down the power button.. Meh anyway I understand what you meant.
Well just to brainstorm, HTC comes with a default integration with drop box. Meaning all your photo's gets uploaded automatically to dropbox unless you disable it. So, First off check dropbox first, you should atleast have some photos since nobody disables "dropbox" that immediate.
Next time, If you have important stuff on your phone, try to back them up on the pc, and try to use a cloud service like what i said "dropbox" or "google drive" or any other type. Or just upload to facebook
Best of luck and hope you get the photos back

Now that you "factory reset" you should have an empty SD Card, so if you are "interested" in rooting or think you might be , you should unlock the bootloader now before your phone becomes filled with apps again, since the bootloader unlocking will require you to "erase" the data AGAIN.
Just a tip although you might not want to root, unlocking is different from rooting though, so you are not really "rooted" as per say. Anyway best of luck, if you are interested in knowing the difference there is a link in my signature explaining that or you can just google or check the forums, or not Best of luck

HTC One X+ does not have SD Card

I understand just fine, you misunderstood what i said. What I said was, now that you sadly lost all your data, you might want to take this chance and root since the step of unlocking the "bootloader" itself will make you erase the data again. It was an offtopic out of content advice , just for the future.
As for your issue I already said all what I know, best of luck and maybe someone else knows

Hi!
A few days ago something happened to my dad's xperia active.
He said that the battery got empty and when he got home, he wanted me to check what's wrong with it since he said it didn't turn on. When I pushed the power button, the screen was all black, BUT the blacklight for the soft buttons started up. So I thought it must be either a dead screen or a dead battery but I wasn't sure, so I pulled the buttery and tried booting it up and it didn't, even the sony logo didn't appear and this time no backlight for the soft buttons either. Anyway, fastboot maybe works, not sure, semc flash mode works, but no adb...
Is there any way to recover data (SMS, contacts, and some pdf-s) from the phones internal memory? Actually, I'm sure there is, but how to recover the data?
Is it possible too boot a custom recovery with fastboot boot recovery.img on an "untouched" phone without root and without unlocked bootloader and do a full backup from there????
Any help is appreciated!
fastboot unlocking will erase your data to prevent data theft .so you cant use fastboot flash recovery.igmg
There are other ways which I can't clarify but they require submitting the device to an professional analyst and will probably cost more money that the device itself ..
You can just pull out the memory card which should have PDF's since /data,/system and /cache cant be user accessed

Haha, that's what I thought but my dad tried to convince me that they must be in the internal memory, like there was no other way which I found highly unlikely aswell.
Anyway, I think I will try to flash the phone to working state and nevermind the data loss.
