Hey fellas, I got a tricky one for you.
I turned on my Galaxy S6 (duos) after it had died on me. The phone is secured by fingerprint, but if you reboot it, you have to put in an extra security credential for the first time. My extra security credential is a lock pattern. Now, what drove me Nicholas Cage MAD is that the phone keeps telling me that my unlock pattern is incorrect and asks me to wait for 30 sec (then 60, then 2min today) from the first attempt. Now I should tell you that I'm very good with phones and techie stuff. Therefore, I know that the only way to reset the pattern (nowadays) is to use the Samsung Find my Mobile service. The tricky part is that I forgot my Samsung account password and had to reset it. When that happens, the phone logs out of its Samsung Account so Find my Mobile no longer works. Seems like my only option here is to factory reset, but I REALLY don't want to do that..
Pleeeeaaase help !!
Thanks,
Adel

I have a non-rooted verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). The display slowly started dying and is totally gone now. No illumination at all. I need to retrieve my data. However, my phone is locked with a PIN. Now what? Without being able to unlock the device I can't just plug it in to my PC and copy over the files. Surely I'm not the only one this has happened to. I don't plan on repairing it unless utterly necessary.

Hey guys, I have been out of the modding scene since Samsung started locking the battery in the phone. My current G7E+ is falling apart and I need something new. I went to browse on AT&T devices but I'm pretty overwhelmed with choices, and have no idea which of these devices are rootable/moddable, or if unlocking tethering for free is still even an option.
Mandatory things:
unlock free hotspot tethering
badass camera
big screen
big battery
Any advice? Thanks.

i guess you mean the sim lock ?
it varies from a carrier to a carrier
this info should be included when you receive your sim
Hello,
I was tempted by the Gome K1 for my son and received the phone today. Apparently I am unlucky and the screen is very unresponsive and the phone is so unusable.
I removed the screen protection film as it could be the culprit. Now I try to find how to start the factory reset in order to wipe it clean and try again before sending emails to the shop support...
Do someone happen to have the procedure to start the factory reset for that phone ?
I tried the usual combinaison of button, but it doesn't work.
And by the way, I could not set the correct language and once the phone picked up an exotic language, the list narrowed down ...
Many thanks

Thank you, I saw that post also, but as I just received the phone, I don't want to use the whole flash tool as if the phone is really defect and not the program, I will loose the waranty. I want try the hardreset that will bring the phone back to it's status before I opened it. If that doesn't work, then I will send it back.
Thanks anyway.
got the same problem...
on my wife's new one....irresponsive and could not even do the initial android setup....
after charging an doing an hard reset it started to work fine!
