hello. i forgot my pass screen code from the note. anyway i can restore it?if i install a new rom it will erase the scrren code asking?thanks
anyone?
ddddd
Look the problem with such posts is that it's kind of hard to believe that someone can actually forget a code he has chosen by himself/ herself.
I certainly don't want to call you a thief but actually that's a very realistic scenario. People who have acquired a phone through illegit means need to circumvent things like the lock screen. And, although I still don't want to blame you, I would feel really silly if I helped someone to unlock a stolen/ found phone. So unless someone else gives you an answer you will probably have to figure it you yourself.

writing a post like that is better to write nothing at all. the phone is from my girlfriend and she doesnt use it for over a month because she is whit the galaxy s2. she forgot the screen code. if you dont want to help its better to shut up instead of calling thief to people
Download screen unlock bypass from web version on play store, If that fails, theres a way of doing it via ADB, But you must have usb debugging enabled.
Or use Samsung dive to unlock the screen (if you have it activated?)
Finally, theres the hard way........ Booting into recovery an doing a full reset.
EDIT: it was your GF's right ? Go through some possible combinations before doing the reset, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Lucky numbers etc etc.
You want to avoid wiping if you have important data on the phone with no backups
Unfortunately screen lock bypass pro is not compatible with N7000 anymore and it can not be directly downloaded from the Web market

reset is only a way around it, it don't even know which rom he's on.
ics, install a safe kernel
gb, go ahead and do a factory reset
Seriously, why do you guys help people with this kind of an issue? What if he/she stole the phone from someone?.. Never help these kind of people unless they can prove that the phone is theirs..
We're here to help not judge, he's been a member for a while and has made over 100 posts. If the phone was stolen he would immediately reset it.
Not everyone is a criminal, give him a break. Some people do forget things ya know, we're not superhuman

thanks azzledazzle and nokiamodeln91
i solved it. the thing was that i didnt want to do a full reset. thats why i asked. thanks again
as for the others, i dont have to make justifications. as said, i am a member for a quite long, i know a litle bit about this and as said, a stolen phone, four our bad luck, is imediatly reseted. i now reseting a phone turns of the screen code. i didnt want to loose things that was recorde in the phone.
thanks again azzledazzle

Just curious..how did you get in finally?
Well, If I one time stole a phone from a very hot girl then NO WAY I was going to fully reset the phone.. Just think about all the pictures you could lose. What if there also were videos.

Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.
I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.

Hey Everyone. I just wanted to let all of you know that I am very sorry about the screw-up on my part that led to damage of a few users devices. The error was all mine and it is inexcusable. Please know that I take this very seriously, to the point of losing sleep over it. As I have stated many times, I would like to pay for the cost of the bricked users JTAG repairs. Please just PM me.
I also want to apologize for my defensive attitude over the course of the past couple of days. I have never screwed up like this on these forums and I wasn't sure how to handle it.
There is some good news that has come out of this, however. I have been working with Task650 of GT 10.1 fame, an amazing dev and person, I might add, and we have come up with a beta ROM that I am running now that will be safe to flash and better than the original ROM I posted in terms of speed, stability and overall performance. I plan to have a private beta, and will ask for testers in a separate thread after Task650 and I have made sure that everything is OK and it is ultra-safe...
I have been humbled a great deal through this experience, and I believe it will make me a better developer. I have already learned a lot from Task and all of your posts, and I hope that I will be able to earn your trust with smooth, stable and innovative ROMs to come.
Steve

People are getting bricked? WTF? Works fine on mine. I will remove right away. Is it working for others? To the solution, let me get this clear, you flash and the device wont even turn on at all? Also, please let me know what build you are coming from.
Thanks, and i am so sorry for any problems. Lets get this fixed.

In another thread, you said you bricked cooking your own ROM. So which is it? Not trying to be testy, just wondering, so I can figure out what the issue is.
BTW - where are the bricked users from?
OK
So, flashed again, still fine. THe issue must be with the couple/few people's devices that bricked, or the installation process was messed up in some way. BTW, am NOT saying its anyone's fault, just saying that there must be something unique to your tab, or how you installed that caused the problem. So, if anyone has been "bricked", please let me know the following:
1. You did a full wipe, right?
2. You flashed on galaxy tab 7.7 wifi and 3g, not the wifi-only version, correct?
3. Where are you located and what was your build before flashing?
I am not asking these questions to be rude or defensive, I just want to know what's going on. I have had thousands (over 10k) of people download and flash my ROMS (search "Magnolia" in XDA), and have NEVER had anyone brick their device on my ROMs. I am known and respected by most or all U.S. developers for Verizon, so I am not some hack.
Thanks.
Steve
One last question...
Can you power on while holding down the Volume up key simultaneously? I am guessing, no, but thought I'd check. I just dont see how a device can be bricked when there is no firmware/radio, etc. being flashed. Not saying it can't, but it's weird...
EDIT - Try removing the SIM, too.

Nope. Only two users have had problems with it, that I am aware of. The other 148 seem to have been fine. However, if you are not willing to take a risk, don't flash it. Simple.
Dont get me wrong dude... i already downloaded your ROM, but reading through the thread makes me think twice of flashing... Sorry if my post offended you... ill be traveling this afternoon so i cant risk flashing now because i need my tab... Anyway Thanks for the effort of this ROM...

Definitely not offended, sorry if I came off that way. I just wanted to clear up that it is apparently a VERY small minority (2 users, that I know of, and one other who bricked cooking his own ROM and then came here to state that he was bricked for some reason) that seem to have this issue, and, in fact, samsung tabs seem to have the "wont turn on issue" anyway, so I am not sure if it's the ROM, the devices, or what. I just don't like the dissemination of potentially misleading statements, intentional or otherwise.
Thanks again for your post.

(This thread is finished yet I do not know how to set my own reply as the answer! An extremely kind developer helped me out immensely and I fully trusted him and I am very proud now!)
I got an SM-G955FD ( S8+ Dual SIM Europe XSG Variant )
I rooted the phone and installed renovate ICE and titanium backup, apparently, I messed up and after a restart, it was stuck on the flashing Samsung logo.
I went into download mode and tried flashing the TWRP from Odin with the BL button. It kept saying FAIL! and the text does not show that the NAND installed so I probably uninstalled something that's stopping from installing to the bootloader? Re=partition was ticked OFF all the time as I heard it freezes your phone or something??!
I tried installing stock firmware and still says fail when it comes to the bootloader part.
I tried Smart Switch as I seen videos of people doing it successfully with an s8+, but it apparently does not support specifically the XSG variant (from what I remember the XSG is the United Arab Emirates something when I was installing the firmware from SamMobile)
I contacted Samsung Help Services and redirected me to their messenger which then redirected me to their Smart Switch page and I sent them my problem yet it's been two hours and I have no answer
I know they are very busy which is why I sent here, maybe I get some tips.
Should I enable Re-Partition when reinstalling? I am really scared it might brick my phone if it says FAIL! :crying:
I really need help and if anybody can help or give tips or feedback, hints maybe or thoughts, anything I will be extremely glad an appreciative as every little is super useful and I need lots of help. It's my fault and I admit but I became super desperate, whenever I had a problem I always came here first thing and found the answer and I have not found anything like this exactly.
Thanks and sorry for the long paragraphs, I may have been too dramatic
You guys are amazing!

I seriously can't thank the person enough, I don't know if he wants his name mentioned I will PM him about that and I will definitely recommend! My phone is charging next to me with all its features working perfectly and I am again so grateful!! Apparently, my device was messed up good and he took a long time on it and it came out amazing.

I purchased Lg G6 unlocked t-mobile from ebay India on a half price of original "this is what I was patting my back with pride for" for a while though. Well, today I got a prompt on my phone screen that T-mobile temporary unlock period is expired, please reboot. I could smell the issue by now and as soon as I rebooted another message said "Network Lock". Now my sim does not have network signals. It is as good as a brick because I do not have t-mobile sim nor I think this phone was outright'ly purchased before it landed in my hands.
Looking for options:
1) does flashing custom rom (If available) release the network lock?
2) are there software available that can unlock without t-mobile sim?
3) are there paid unlock services available for foreign network?
4) any other that I am not aware of?

Sadly only option is to return/get a refund for the phone I’m sure eBay will work in your favour due to this.
Try the network unlock app (purple icon) and request unlock that way. Make sure your on WiFi.
If that doesn’t work only solution is to buy a app unlock on eBay which usually varies in price. And that’s only if the phones imei is not blacklisted

Thanks for the guidance.
I contacted my local market repair shop, he tried unlocking with his software but failed. He tried unlocking by sending a request to some recognised network unlocker but failed. Now he is suggesting a solution that a modified software flashing can be done to revoke the network lock from it for which I'm unsure about.
While surfing for the resolution, I have come across 2 options,
1 - flashing a ROM for H872 from this xda post.
2 - Have gone through several "GSMHosting" forum pages and people are doing network unlocking at ease with logs as proof. Is this all legit?

1. Flashing a rom is not going to unlock it.
2. No it’s not legit to unlock a T-Mobile phone unless T-Mobile themselfs unlock it. But there’s plenty of app unlocking services on eBay between $15 and $30 usually. And if they can’t unlock it it’ll just be a WiFi only device.

Most probably people forget to reply so if you just give us the solution that would be very helpful in those kind of situations if anyone encounters it.

Its not that I read your post after a month but I responded late cuz been busy with my stuff and 2ndly your phone still works. I have helped about 21 people so far who have network lock issue, few came back to me to say it worked for them and few dint. All I know is that it worked for me and may work for others too. If my intention was just to keep it to myself I would have already wiped out my relevant posts.
However, thats not the point, point is this forum have ample of info already to understand how to fix this issue but all it takes is to read through all the pages and posts which most people dont take pain for.

Do you want me to post the solution in public? I thought that is what YOU DIDN'T want?
Listen, arif238 just decided it was ez'ier to quote everyone who posted asking you a question of the solution, folks who were basically in the same boat with him. What do we call this...lazy fingers. My response was calling this out, if you didn't realize. He too should have written you a DM for the solution, right?
BTW again thanx for sharing the solution with me. I didn't pursue it though. I decided to return the units and got a US997.
Please helpp!!
I have the same problem. I got my phone online for half price too! At first when I entered my local sim, it was working. The phone was new so I wanted to explore it and opened the device unlock app to see what it was about. Tried pressing permanent unlock but it said failed. Then tried temporary and it approved. 2 days ago, it said that the unlock period has expired or something and it the network tag said "network locked". T-mobile lets you temporarily unlock your phone twice a month. So I've unlocked it for another month but won't be able to do it again. Please helpp!!

File a claim. There’s nothing that can by pass that unless you buy an expensive unlock and that’s assuming there’s no payment due on the phone

@mannunikhil said that they found a way. I really don't want to go through the headache of transferring everything on to my computer and reinstall and restore all the apps on my old phone and then do the same when I replace it after I get my claim.
FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.
I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.
It's not like that.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.
True hero right? hahah
I love to watch how people come together for things like this.
We need more of that in the world... Just taking a little of your time to make someone else happy.

She is wonder I didn't need mine unlock but she was willing to do if needed ?
Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

I wouldn't donate... Seems not completely ethical.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

I don't care if she unlocks it, but taking a"donation" is not ok.

Yea I get that it's a gray area, but on the other hand better a voluntary 'donation'to an individual than a high payment to some shady unlock site :/

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Hey everyone!
So I did not realize how much attention this would get. SO, in an effort to help out everyone but keep this a little more low key PM me your phone number and last name! All of this info will be sent to the user for the unlock to go through.
This is both to benefit those with the Tmo variant of the device and keep the user responsible a little more safe and secure. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and ask away!

Thank you. Respect to you for respecting them.
Did you delete the other post that I quoted you on? I tried loading it and it just said "fetching page" forever.
None of my PM's are going through. Would you please message me so I can provide you with the name and number.
Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.
just did mine, literally look an hour.
Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
