Enabled PIN on boot + disabled HTC keyboard = locked out



Yeah, that was dumb.

So, I disabled HTC keyboard a while ago.. been using Google keyboard just fine. Everything was fine, that is, until the reboot after enabling PIN on boot.

It starts to boot, stops and asks for PIN, but no on-screen keyboard shows.

Here's more info: I'm S-off, TWRP recovery is installed (and usable, an on-screen keyboard is included in TWRP, so I can decrypt okay). Reflashed kernel, no luck. (well, thats good news)

The HTC keyboard apk is probably still on the device, just moved to another folder.

Elemental X 0.06 kernel.

1.19.605.22 (Verizon)

Almost a full charge.

No access to a PC for a week or so. (moving, its packed)

Using my previous device, Moto Maxx. SIM fits either phone, luckily.

Help very much appreciated. Thanks.
