thnx for amazing help sir am asking for help not to sm 1 make fun of me thnx
It does sound like a stolen unit that has had it's IMEI blocked. Where did you get it? Why do you not know the pattern or email? You have to admit your post does sound very suspicious. As the previous poster said you need to return it to wherever you got it from.

I was playing around with the pattern lock and eventually got the 'Too many pattern attempts!' message, with it asking for my Google username and password to log in.
No matter what, it doesn't accept my username/password. I am 100% sure I've typed it in correctly.
This bug has been around for over a year with many people reporting 'bricked' phones without even doing anything particularly naughty with their phones.
This is the Google bug that has been posted on it: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3006#makechanges
As you can see this has been around for over a year. The 'null'-in-password trick doesn't work, nor does the spamming-home-button trick.
My phone is rooted and with the Voodoo Lagfix-only custom kernel. Any suggestions?
Do a hard reset / wipe. That's my suggestion.
Try booting into recovery (Home Button, Vol Up + Power), and resetting your cache and wiping it. Then try logging in with your Google account. If all else fails, try changing your Google password on the PC then logging in on the phone. And then if it still fails, looks like you need to flash the phone again. Next time, don't enter the thing wrong! Stop rushing haha .
I wasn't rushing, I was playing with the lock. It takes about 30 times before it's permanently requiring the username/password. But really...you can't blame me for not expecting this. :/
I'm currently trying to flash a new ROM but I've run into another problem - I can't get it to boot into downloader/recovery. It's not the lack of the 3 button combo - I've managed to reach Recovery and Downloader ONCE each in the past, but never again since.
And now with all my efforts to boot into recovery/downloader, it now cannot boot into normal usability mode (or in my case, locked mode). Instead, the Galaxy S logo loops endlessly.
Sigh.
Have you read the thread for the fix for Galaxy S variants that are lacking the 3 Button Combos? It's in Android Development. Maybe try that? Or, can you still connect the phone and connect with Kies?
I can't turn on the phone anymore, meaning no changing to USB debugging etc. And I'm having problem accessing recovery/download, even though I definitely HAVE done each of them once before and therefore do not have the 3 button problem.
Without turning on my phone, Kies can't detect it
So what happens when you power on?
Now, it shows the first Galaxy S splash screen, then shows the boot logo, then nothing. The boot logo continues to glow endlessly.
Be patient, i waited up to five minutes. If you see the s logo glowing/shining youare ok

Yeah it's continuously shining. Haven't left it for up to five minutes though... And even then it probably won't help since I'm still locked out of the phone, and unable to access download/recovery mode to reflash it.
After waiting for a long time, the logo disappears, screen goes black. Menu and back buttons light up. Nothing else.
Looks like your going to have to reflash your phone again. Download the desired firmware, open up Odin and put your phone into download mode and start the flashing procedure. Be more careful next time.

Good advice considering he said his 3 button combo stopped working =))
All I did when I got that black screen was adb reboot recovery and wiped and phone bootedup fine. But only if you have debuging enable and and sumsung drivers. Hopes this help.

Ok i did the same thing, and spent hours googling.
Tried the key combinations to restore, but never worked.
Heres what worked for me, but, be warned all your contacts will be lost if stored on the phone.
From another phone, call your locked number.
Answer it on the locked phone, then hit the "back" button.
This gives you full access to the phones menus etc.
Hang up on the phone you called from.
Now, go into Applications / Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset.
This worked for me whereas all other methods did not.
Once your phone is up and running again, be sure to create your google account on your phone.
That way your protected again. If you didnt previously have the account set up from your phone, like i didnt, then you cannot log in of course.
This works...give it a try. Hope it helps.

dear friend dont worry or panic... i'll tell you a trick , go to the samsung customer care and tell them that your phone gets heated up very often and today it just refuses to boot up normally...
since your device cannot get into recovery mode or download mode the company will never know that you had played with the system files in the device or not... (rooted )..
since the samsung people will also try to get your device in recovery mode.. but when it will not go to the recovery mode you will get a mother board replacement under warranty.....
this heating up of the device is a common problem in the galaxy here in india.. so use this excuse and i know it works 100% ... (just dont tell them that you had rooted and lagfixed your device )
What you describe sounds like a very large security hole if I am reading it correctly.
Are you saying that even if your phone has been locked out from too many lock screen failures, that just answering an incoming phone call gives you full access to the phone? Really?
I just checked on my phone and while I can answer an incoming call while the screen is locked, if I hit the back button or menu button, I just get the lock screen.
I'm missing something here...

doh
I bought it off ebay and rooted it so i dont even have warrenty on it , how much is it gonna cost approximately ?
same here i bought from ebay and I had no proof of purchase, just rang samsung and said it crashed and they fixed without proof of purchase and for free .
For just a backup i sent my recipts for ebay and paypal, they have just responed back to me that they have recieved the docments after they fixed my phone and i had recieved it as well. ?
so send your phone in and say it crashed whilst you accidently unmounting the internal memory card and the battery died and now it will not turn on. tel : (0)1932 454358.
also forgot my phone was rooted as well ...... no harm in giving it a go
thanks dude, will definitly give it a try.
i have a note 3 that is boots up to the unlocked padlock screen gets stuck there then boots into recovery mode. it even gets stuck in like a bsod mode where i cant see nothing or get it to respond to buttons. the only way I can is if i open it up and disconnect all ribbons(havent tried pinning pointing one yet) after i do that and reconnect them i can get the phone in download mode or recovery mode. i tried the restore with title wifi fix. to no avail. the only thing i know about this phone is supposedly it was working then they guy tried to do the update since then stuck. he said he sent it to samsung and they wouldnt fix it because it supposedly had a custom rom flashed. which im sure it had something done because of the unlock padlock/bootloader sign. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Brother !!
This same thing happened to me!!
I looked everywhere for an easy solution BUT THERE IS NONE !! Yet.
The reason why is because there are no easy "Odin back to stock files" yet is because at&t is a fn a-hole and locked the bootloader !!
I brikt my shıt about 4 days after I brought it home from costco.
I combed through the interwebs for the 48 hrs straight like a mad tweaker!! because of course this is our 800 dollar babies we're talking about !!
I kept getting the same error message as you are mentioning about the kies update connect your pc blah and so I tool it back to costco and played dumb and said that I got a notification to update and clicked ok and it did some stuff and "now its stuck on this screen with some error??" .. the lady at the kiosk looked it up and down and said someone else had come in last week with the same error message . LoL !!
I walked out of there with a brand new baby !!
Maybe you can do the same thing? Just hoping you are within your return timeframe.
your last but definitely not last worst case scenerio option is to stick your sim card in another phone and wait till someone from our awesome family here finds away around/through that damn bootloader and drops the beautiful Odin+files to give new birth to your 5.7 beast of an angel !!
Hope this helped in any sort of way. Good luck dear Brother!!
Please let us know how it goes. I think there are many brothers on here in the same predicament.
Hiya, Remember this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-m7-stuck-boot-loop-t3028651/page1
Well, we got it working and everything. We used twrp to flash cyanogen mod snapshot (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m7.zip) and then flashed gapps right after (gapps-kk-20140606-signed). Everything went fine and the phone was stable. This morning we ended up putting in my friends SIM card. It worked for a moment and then the data stopped working. Stumped we made a call and found out the device was blocked. This deactivated my friends SIM. We do a IMEI Search on Swappa and the phone comes up as reported stolen. Well bummer. At least the phone still works. Well later in the day, my friend starts to use the phone generally on his WiFi and starts to have issues when he installed Facebook and tried to open it, the phone started to lag and he decided to reset the phone. It booted back up fine, then started to lag again. Something about Google now I think popped up and then the phone froze again. he restarted the phone. he got to the HTC logo and it froze. He restarted it again, and now it won't boot. I can say the battery was at about 15% when this did happen. I've had the phone connected to my portable charger all day. I am not sure what to do. I've tried the bright light trick and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

As the guy says above, however if it is your phone, then get in touch with your network operator and ask them whats going on, the phone has been IMEI blocked by the network and theres nothing you can do to get it working again, you cant even flash a rom as during setup it checks IMEI, and will just reboot loop when it fails to register.

I would turn it in to the police. You know, it's just the fact that this phone didn't come from somewhere local, it came from about 5 states away. On top of that, I was reading some articles and found out that sometimes the network will mark it as stolen and block the IMEI since the original owner did not pay their bill. I bought this phone from ebay. I still have to get my money back, and I need to give the seller a chance to respond, as maybe this is all a misunderstanding. I called the network. They couldn't look up the IMEI or anything for them to contact the original owner. I was told that to get it unblocked the owner of the phone would have to call and report it as not stolen. Also, seanie, are you saying due to the IMEI block, the phone is acting like it is?

The IMEI block would explain it not booting fully into a rom, but are you saying it not charging either ?
If you brought it from ebay I would file a case myself if it was me with paypal and explain what the fault was, paypal will just give you his address to send it too, send it registered post, as soon as it arrives and you have proof of that, paypal will give you your money back, the seller wont get a say in it, ive done it myself before where a seller has sold me faulty goods without me knowing.

Yes, it's not charging either. The reason I haven't gone to paypal yet is I want to give seller time to try and resolve the problem. My friend really wanted this phone. On top of that, WE FIXED THE PHONE! It was broken originally. If it does turn out to be the imei being the problem and the seller gets it back, gets the imei unblocked and it works, he can sell the phone for more. It may not be working now, but I don't feel it's fair for me to get what I bought it for back. That's why I am taking a different route.

the charging problem could be a few different possibilities, I would try the cheapest option first, the charger and the lead, failing that, you will have to think about things like the charging port or the battery itself, not an easy job being sealed units.

Of course. I don't have any other micro-usb cables. I guess I'll have to wait till later. What I can say is that that I want to confirm the phone will not boot a custom rom if the imei is blocked? Also, I'll note this issue occured after I called ATT to ask them about the phone now that I think about it.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone is able to help me out with my HTC one M7. My phone has been out of commission since Monday night and I'm all out of options on what to do, I've even tried doing a factory reset as a last resort but that didn't seem to work as it looked like the process just stalled.
Here's a bit of background of what happened: Monday night I charged my phone through the wall outlet and went to have dinner, I came back to check on the phone and it was off. I thought that was odd so when I tried turning it back on I would only ever be able to get to the white HTC logo screen. I'm able to get into fastboot and recovery but after googling solutions and trying the options people have mentioned, it still isn't working. I'm not very tech oriented so I wouldn't know how to flash ROMs or anything like that...soooo, I'm hoping someone is able to explain steps in I'm able to understandr. I don't even know flashing ROMs is possible at this point since whenever I plug it into my PC, the drivers aren't recognized by Windows and says 'failed to install drivers'.
Any help is very much appreciated!! (I signed up to the forum in order to write this and seek help lol)
I haven't done ANY customization to the phone everything is all stock from my service provider so I'm really baffled at how this sudden fail could have happened. There was no OTA update either.

Yes, I did. It flashed to the screen with 2 green arrows in a circle and 1 downward green arrow with a progress bar at the bottom but nothing happens during this period. I left the phone like that for about 30 mins just to see if anything would happen and nothing did.
