how i can reset sim unlock counter i have tried 10 times
please help
Hi guys, I´m new to this forum, but not so new to the "android world", but yesterday I seemed to have made some sort of mystake with my samsung galaxy tab 7, and I cant seem to make the SIM card be detected at all.
Well, I decided to update the OS by instaling CyanogenMod on my tab, and I made it that far, but has I was trying to make the sim card work, I noticed it wasnt even getting recognized and I can only make emergency call now.
My SIM card is from an European Carrier "Vodafone", and what happens is that as soon has I insert the SIM card on the slot and try to unlock to go to the home screen, the system kinda "resets" (?) and I get the unlocking screen again, until I remove the card, and unlock once again.
I´ve tried to turn of an immediatly on the device over and over, but nothing seems to take effect.
Can you guys help me at all?
Thanks in advance for any help guys!
Hello guys, I own a Moto E(2nd gen. - 4G LTE), I mispelled the password while resetting it but I also had facial recognition by luck(which worked fine).But I have now switched to a new phone, migrated the google account to the new phone, but that removed the facial lock and now I cant unlock my device. Its SD card wont be detected by my pc. Please help!
(p.s :my phone is not rooted and I dont wanna factory reset it as it contains important data to me)

If you can access your Google account, you should be able to reset your password.
Hi all
I've recently reset my wife's phone so my son can use it.
However, after factory reset (using the buttons) when it reboots I cannot set it up.
It says that an "Abnormal factory reset" has been performed and asks for my wife's Samsung email/password.
When we put this in - it's rejected (actually, it says signing in but nothing happens).
We've reset the password but it still won't work.
I'd be happy to just format it an put a clean custom ROM on it but I don't know how.
All guides I find say it needs to be rooted first and to enable USB developer options - but I cannot unlock the phone to get to this stage.
Could someone please help me figure it out? Samsung can't (they want us to send it to them for a chargeable repair!)
Thanks
Matt

Hi, you don't need to root before flashing.
Samsung is AWESOME FOR THIS.
You can flash at any desperate moment.
It is time to install Android 10 for the dummies : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425
Thanks. I managed to fix it though.
I had to get the L2 Samsung account support to disable two-factor authentication.
Then the password worked and the phone unlocked.
The "this phone is blocked" screen requires your Samsung password but isn't smart enough to work with two factor auth (which is default turned on for all Samsung accounts). #facepalm

Nope the twofacauth is not turned on by default for Sam acc or any other acc on this Planet...that must be activate and config by user.
But if you have the right knowledge you could flash other Rom even if the Phone is lock by google. You just need to know how to.

Hi guys, i have a samsung a51 and i had to hard reset because i forgot the pin to unlock the phone. Now after restarting, it needs old pin or google account. I don't remember the old pin and the google account. I tried to install TWRP and then install a custom rom, but the phone needs to unlock the bootloader from developer settings that i can't activate because i can't start the phone.
Thank you all.
