TP2 locked me out!

rebelx · #1 (**permalink**) 12-11-2010, 08:21 PM

So I had a massive test in the morning so I shut off my phone (I rarely do that) and when I turned it back on, I seem to be unable to unlock my phone with my password (4 digit numerical PIN, using default lock screen). I do have Lookout Mobile installed, but when it prompts me to type in my username/password, I can't. The boxes don't register that I've hit pressed any keys.

What do I do? Hard reset necessary? I hope not... don't want to go thru the hassle of getting everything back the way I like it.

I can't seem to do anything when connected to a computer either... I can't bypass the lockscreen.

I am using stock ROM, with CHT 2.0(or whatever the most recent version is).

Well, as tough as it sounds, it looks like you are going to hard reset in order to get passed the lockscreen. Lookout mobile has a lockscreen also? Maybe the two locking programs are incompatible.

lookout doesnt have a lockscreen persay, but a login page where once the device has been "activated" on their servers, you can track it and stuff. tbh, i hardly ever have to type in my credentials since it's usually always saves my info

yup hard reset and get rid of CHT ,its a super RAM guzzler, especially on the stock 6.5 rom

.

and this is why we learn to make backups... setting your phone up shouldnt be a hassle... not when PIMBackup, Sashimi, XDA_UC, MS MYPhone, and/or other backup programs exist..

sorry but like everyone else said, Hard Reset is the only thing thats gonna fix it..

yep, you have to hard reset. cht uses a app called LockDevice and it doesnt support lockscreen passwords. thats why u got locked out. it says this in the first post of the cht thread.

Thanks for your help guys.

I dont understand why yesterday of all days it decides to act up when it was working fine for the two months previous when I had CHT installed? I did a hard reset. Luckily had all my CABs in my SD card and got my contacts from MyPhone

so you had cht installled while using a pin lock for about two months and it just now decides to act up? hmm. were you messing around with the cht lockscreen lately? i think u can have cht installed and u a pin lock as long as you dont activate the cht lockscreen. maybe someone else can clarify this.
