Bypass PIN lock and 2.0

davidra · 01/12/2011, 11:27 AM

Does anyone know if the Bypass PIN Lock patch will work on 2.0?

jsgraphicart · 01/12/2011, 12:06 PM

I've always wondered what this patch actually does.

gnark · 01/12/2011, 12:20 PM

some configurations of the device enforce the pin screen whenever the screen is turned on. i have this behaviour too because of the exchange server sync.

there is a patch to bypass this pin screen.

i rolled my own patch (it only bypasses the pin within an hour and enforces the pin again when i switch it on 2 times in 3 seconds) so i pretty much know the code and suspect the patch to be easily portable due to its non-complexity unless webos 2.0 has invented new really mean ways to do it...

Seems like i cannot find this Bypasspinlock in the Preware installed on my Pre2 ... ;-(

does anyone have a pointer to the .ipk file ?

Patch WebOS Bypassing Lock Screen - WebOS Internals

http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pr...-screen-2.html

PLEASE let us know if you get this functioning on 2.0. The patch currently exists on Preware for 1.45.

om007 · 02/17/2011, 01:39 PM

so ..

looks like it working fine !

i have a Palm Pre2 unlocked , european model running webOS 2.0.0

i installed the novacom driver on my win7 64-bits, then downloaded a novaterm i found here ( Portal:Accessing Linux - WebOS Internals ) to be able to run the vi editor ..

connected the Pre2 by usb and edited the pin-assistant.js as you mentionned .. (Patch WebOS Bypassing Lock Screen - WebOS Internals )

reboot et voila ..

soooooooooooo good ... was getting sooooooo annoyed by the Exchange pin code ..

thanks

Garrett92C · 02/17/2011, 01:53 PM

I used the info over at WebOS Internals and put it in patch form. I have no way to test it though...

om007 · 02/17/2011, 03:31 PM

Hi Garrett92c ,

i will see if i can try your patch on one of the Pre2 in my office .. and report ..
thanks for the effort

brennan7 · 02/18/2011, 09:47 AM

I have a pre2(sprint) bypass pin works just fine. No need to worry if its going to work for you or not.

manordwall · 02/18/2011, 01:57 PM

Sprint Pre minus, it downloaded successfully and I am currently in luna restart.

skrenlin · 07/08/2011, 08:51 AM

The Touchpad (ala WebOS 3.0) seems to have done away with the whole directory of the original file patched. There are a bunch more files that seem related to PIN function, many of which have the same name, just in different directories. I've been poking at trying to bypass the (exchange-mandated) PIN screen but haven't really managed to accomplish anything yet. If someone gets this working, please post it!

Definitely on my must-have list for the TP.

kilroy · 08/11/2011, 03:08 AM

Anyone had any luck figuring out how to bypass the PIN lock on the Touchpad?

satterwc · 08/28/2011, 01:44 PM

*bump* .. I'm another one that would really like this for TP.

robotech1985 · 08/28/2011, 02:11 PM

I have a bounty asking for people to chip in for a dev to take a look

1 tried already but could not get it to work
check the patches forum for my thread

jateelover · 09/09/2011, 03:03 PM

bump I would also like this on the touchpad

blake711 · 12/06/2011, 08:23 AM

Bumping this sure would like it on my TP. Works great on my pre2.

auTONYmous · 12/20/2011, 11:53 AM

To any interested devs - I mucked around a bit and found this (both on a 2.2.4 Pre2, and a 3.0.4 Touchpad):

/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/phoneAppPinCode

There's a "source" dir under that which curiously contains a few Enyo files. Namely "PinUnlock.js"

I'd fix it myself if i had the slightest clue about js programming, but that should make it easy enough for someone else to crack it.

puppi · 12/24/2011, 03:44 AM

I've got a PalmPre2 - with 2.2.4 webOs installed. I don't find the patch (yet?) in the patches list from homebrew. also i did not find a /usr dir on the usb-mapped device (do I need to browse on the phone itself?)

...or will this patch to bypass PIN be available in the installer again at some time?

thanks for advise,

amrcc · 12/24/2011, 10:19 AM

I'm not sure yet (Wifey updated even tho I told her not to) but it looks like they might have moved the PIN code into the binary [like they did in 3.x on the TP] in 2.2.4 (Bypass PIN worked fine in 2.1).

The gotcha here is that if you had a pin set and used the Bypass PIN patch (you (or she) probably don't even remember what your/her pin was). When your wifey updates her phone even tho you warned her at least 5 times over the last month to not do any updates on her phone if it asks, um then your (um her) phone is locked and YOU are screwed. QuickInstall and/or Commandline access won't even help. Unless we can figure out how to (without getting into the phone) either remove the EAS account that is forcing the PIN/Reset the PIN/Find the current PIN/patch the binaries or new enyo pin code (whichever it is), even a Doctor/Restore won't help. The doc will wipe the phone and get it back to a working state, but any attempt to restore the profile will put the PIN requirement back.

research ensuing ...
