Unlock your screen via adb. (send the menu keycode)

[britoso]

Found this via google groups.

You can unlock your phone via an adb shell command

adb shell
input keyevent 82 

or on one line:
adb shell input keyevent 82

key event 82:

public static final int KEYCODE_MENU

Since: API Level 1
Key code constant: Menu key.
Constant Value: 82 (0x00000052)

Background: I flashed a kernel and rebooted and when the phone was fully booted I could not unlock the lock screen!
Had disabled the slider and had the menu key set to unlock (cm7). Unfortunately the kernel must have had a bug or something and all my soft buttons were not working.

Neat! It never occured to me that ADB might support sending key events.
