Is there any way to flash different lock screens on the Verizon galaxy s3 the reason i am asking is because even thought the boot loader is locked I was able to flash a different splash screen (original Samsung logo) so i was wondering is there a method similar to that with the lock screen or is it possible? I would really like to flash the galaxy nexus lock screen with short cut apps to my Verizon galaxy s3!!!
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for looking at this thread. I have tried looking through the forums but to be honest I am not exactly sure what to look for...
I have a galaxy s1 which is out of contract from 02 - they have unlocked it for me.
when i do *#SIMLOCK#* it shows
network lock off
network subset lock off
sp lock off
cp lock off.
I also took it into a store today and they did try doing their unlock but it still didn't work - I got them to agree I wouldn't pay them if the sim didn't work.
Yet when I put a three sim into it will not work - it stays on emergency calls only.
I only need it to keep going until the S4 launches but I refuse to buy a new handset now.
So is there anyway to get it to accept the new sim? the sim has been tried in a different handset so I know it works.
Thanks again for any suggestions.
Hello.I have a problem.I have old samsung wave 533.And I don't remember it's phone's password.I know,this forum for Android,but all are experts in phones.
HELP HOW UNLOCK PHONE PASSWORD IN SAMSUNG WAVE 533(Wave 2 Pro)?
You'd have to take the phone to the Carrier.
As a XDA Policy, we can not help with locked phones or getting around the phone security.
i have a samsung galaxy s3 i535pp verizon and cant get past the activation screen need to know if there is a way past that any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi
Facing the issue of being unable to remove the activation lock on my iPhone - I'm of course using the same samsung account as the one I used for activating the lock.
I receive a message prompting to use the same samsung account as the one used for locking the S3...
Tried to connect it to my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, but I have the same results...
I'm stuck!
Any idea of anything I should try out before I send the device for servicing?
Thanks!

I returned the device for servicing.
Samsung charges approx. 70 USD for "attempting" to reset the watch, without any guarantees it will work!!!
I find it a bit harsh - is this common practice?

Ouch! That's crazy expensive without any surety.

Have you tried doing a hardware factory reset (hold down the power key then repeatedly tap it) on the watch?

Reactivation lock survives from resetting the watch. Even if you -by reflashing- make the watch forget about the lock, the second you try to pair it, gear manager will check watch’s serial number online and if it is reactivation locked by some other samsung account it wont let you pair with it.
Correct - tried all these options. The lock survives.
I don't how it got screwed up: I always used the same Samsung account, whether on the S7 or the iPhone.
I did lock and unlock it successfully on the S7.
I could lock it on the iPhone, but the unlock failed eventually.
And now I'm left with an unusable device.
Hopefully Samsung can unlock it.
Can't really tell if the iPhone version of Gear S is at fault or anything else happened in the background.
OK. Did you try logging into your Samsung account from a computer, erasing the device and removing it from your account? Basically the steps you would go through if you were going to sell the device.
I am Also Facing Same..
I Too received the same message and same problem. i am stucked. fcked ..
the same samsung id is used now it says enter the id used to lock gear previously.
but the both id used is same. then also it is not unlocking.

Unlock without activation code on iPhone
I am too having the same problem and have tried since January April to get it resolved and no one knows how and I'm also out $399 for a watch that doesn't work and was promised to work with iPhones. Wtf and I can't do anything about it
Does anyone know what to do?
I've contacted T-Mobile, Samsung customer service via phone and email, and bust-buy and even a Samsung help center. But no one know how to unlock it
Same with me! No iPhone involved, hehe.
I'm from Brazil and bought a pre owned Galaxy Gear S3 in a Game Stop store January this year. I locked my Gear with my Samsung account in a Galaxy Note 8 and it worked fine for 3 months. After a restore to restabilish a freeze, I couldn't unlock it. I tried Game Stop, Samsung and TMobile support, no success. Reflash and factory default didn't help.
Samsung support in Brazil don't support a imported device, so I just have a little brick... Send this device to USA is too expensive. Knowing that Samsung will charge 70 dollars for a try is tragic.
If someone knows a way, please share!
Obs: in my anguish I found a site that promises a unlock. Is there any base for their method? Or this is just a scam?
