[Q] Requesting to Confirm Password after Factory Reset

I did a Factory Reset twice when my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 asked me to Confirm Password which is strange to me. I never created a password with it before. Please help.

Do you have CWM installed? Then you can do the factory reset from there and I'm pretty sure it won't ask you for a password.

If you bought the phone, ask for help to Samsung.
Password exist to protect the phone and it's owner.
Developer community are ask too often for help by people with bad intention, sorry if it's legit.

The password that I had to put in was my lock screen's password. Try creating a lock screen password and using that for the password for factory reset.

In normal case it shud not be happen after factory reset.
But if Phone locked with remote control / any antitheft application installed in secure way this cud be happen.
I dont feel comfortable to advise further before legitimation of Owner.(OP have posted 2 times on XDA n both for same Q)
Just DO one Thing, Change your SIM card

Try
5444 or 0000 or 1234

Without losing info? ... I think you could use adb pull command from stock recovery to pull the files you need from your phone to your pc, and then wipe data to remove the pass lock.

ok than, what stock recovery do you recommend me with adb enabled?
I need the phonebook from the phone and the messages.
I don't know the firmware from the phone but I think it's 2.3.6

Oooo damn, contacts? I dunno where the contacts are stored in the phone really, but I'll try to find out and get back to you.

Wait a sec... are you rooted?

Let me be a little more clear: thee phone I received it with locked pattern unlock (is asking for google account to unlock it) and I need the dat from the phone like is contacts messages etc; the phone I think it's with 2.3.6 android version and surelly is not root-ed.
The phone connects to the pc only in MTP mode.

So the phone isn't rooted...
If you just received the phone, how come you got your contacts in there in the first place... Anyway, you can try to use the adb command
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db ./
with the ./ in the end

Send me a PM in our language with your problem. Maybe I understand better what are you talking about.

In the phone is not my phonebook; I just need to save the informations from that phone wich has a blocked pattern and ask for google account to unlock it.

[Q] [SOLVED] IMEI / EFS problem - Any suggestions?

[SOLVED]
Took it a phone shop, got charged £20 IMEI is back to factory default!
Really happy!
Hi there!
I quite stuck on what to do.
My mum had her i9000 for a while, with no problems on darkyrom 10.2.2.
Suddenly yesterday she was prompted for an "update for virgin mobile" she had no choice but to accept. Apparently it didn't do anything (ie update, reboot etc)
However what she realised is that she couldn't make calls etc.
I've got the phone with me now, and basically the IMEI number doesn't match up under *#06# - the number is a random number although not blank nor 0000 only.
Things I've tried:
-Flashed many stock roms (incl repart + PIT 4 file ones)
-Factory reset
-Flashed without SIM & EXT SD
-Tried deleting the EMPTY EFS folder
Any ideas?
I'm thinking that it needs to be sent back to samsung (even out of warranty)
EDIT:
I should note that the phone is completely factory unlocked - she is on Virgin Mobile network (SIM)
Cheers

hey man!
I've tried flashing froyo and I just put my sim in there and it still doesn't work.
I'm now wondering if it really is factory unlocked?
So I'm flashing a VOD firmware on it (as mum did have vodaphone in the past) - to see if that works, might even try "unlocking" as well.
Might as well give that a try to be honest.
Anu sent me to a dev on here - no reply from the dev yet.
Normally the "flash back to an old stock rom" method SHOULD work...but it isn't.
That's the odd thing really.
Reason I'm thinking it was locked is simple - because with SOME firmwares I flashed - I got this password screen (attached)
EDIT:
Nop - password error is something else:

Already tried that bro - didn't work
Going to try that thing listed in the video now
EDIT2:
Video guide didn't work either - also tried looking into the XDA thread.
Still no cluk - only option is via samsung.
It HAS an IMEI but a completely wrong one.
Long story short - I can use 3G and emergency calls, but cannot use texts/calls, which is a shame and very odd why it did it on its own - if it were flashed I would have understood...but nothing was touched.
This is truly a one in a kind.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857054
just seen this chris might help might not if you have allready sorted it disregard

BIG UPDATE:
Put mum's sim into her i9000 again - and it came up with the same pop-up.
Now the odd thing - did the SAME thing when we put it into her NEW (on stock rom) NOTE 2.
This time I hit cancel.
What are VIRGIN MOBILE TRYING TO DO!?
They are going to get a call tomorrow from me.
Note 2: is still safe - and we hit cancel
S1: was already "updated" and thus IMEI is completely lost.

Weird turn of events - or fortunate to some extent:
Beforehand: Texts, calls and Mobile data wouldn't work properly.
I flashed a VOD firmware on it - and out of the blue - the phone now works as it should HOWEVER the IMEI number it has vs the one printed is still incorrect - I am thinking of buying/getting a VOD SIM card and putting it in there - might that fix it?
Anyone have any ideas?
So baffled as to how the phone is working without a proper IMEI number, but yet can send/receive texts, calls, data

[SOLVED]
Took it a phone shop, got charged £20 IMEI is back to factory default!
Really happy with the outcome.
Tried EVERYTHING known to me to get the IMEI back, but it didn't work.
Long story short - back up your EFS folder - always.

Do you have a custom recovery? if so then this might help : " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225695 "
My friend followed the above method but he had a Samsung and he forgot his pattern.I'm pretty sure that it might work for you too as well.Still not too sure though.I'll appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Do this at your own risk.
Also, I don't think you need to consider service centers.
Good luck.

If you forgot your pin used on lockscreen then you can also reset your password by signing in using the id used in PlayStore.(If you have signed in).
You can get that option near Emergency Calls after you enter wrong password more than 5-6 times.

Phones IMEI changed without even touching it

I have this problem - my G800F changed it's IMEI to 350695200123951. When that happened I had not touched it (no root, no nothing) at evening I still was able to make calls, but later that night it showed 'not registered on network'. I have tried factory reset, reinstalling the firmware using Kies, then I used odin, tried to make EFS backup and restore, but so far I haven't had any success. So I thought that some of you brilliant minds could help me, maybe there is a way to change the IMEI in efs backup file? The only strange thing that happened to my phone couple of days before this happened is that some random number from Ukraine called me, but for obvious reasons I did not answer it nor did I call it back. So now I'm stuck using my fathers old HTC Wildfire S, I really hope that you could help me, because I want my phone back.

SOS
Sorry no answer from me but exactly the same thing with my S5 mini g800F last week (end Sept), with exactly the same false IMEI, and I think I have now tried everything. No luck. Not the Ukraine phone call though!
Cannot get into "engineermode" which may have been a way to fix this. I loaded a new firmware, still nothing. ANY help will be appreciated but please nothing that asks me to add a "secret code" as the phone does not respond to those. I'm not an expert but got desperate enough to try my hand at a terminal emulator, it did not work. Stopped short of using SDK as the download is huge. Firmware now loaded is android 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Heeeeelp anybody! The vendor is of no use either, just mumbling "this is a very strange thing, where did you get the phone....." (bought from the guy asking!!)

Warranty service restored the original IMEI

Just couple of days ago got my phone back from warranty and they fixed it (thought they wouldn't since it was rooted), so I would suggest doing the same thing. At the warranty center I had to explain my problem for about 30 minutes, because they believed that phone couldn't change its IMEI. Also you could try other service centers, because some of them said that they could fix this problem for about 30-50 EUR. I believe the only thing that could help otherwise is something like the z3x box, but it would be more expensive as it costs 100+ USD.

If you download the original stock firmware you can flash the IMEI number back to the phone

:S
No solution has been under warranty , the pochaine time to think about backup your EMEI

Yes yes
there is a backup somewhere between all my external hard drives, memory sticks, cloud servers... And i can't find it, too long ago and too many passwords!! But, no use telling me now to make a "pochaine" backup. I will try the reflash to older version suggestion, and see whether that gives me access to the required features. If not, it is the mountain to climb, of getting to the samsung "support" to tinker with the phone. Glad you you are sorted sunciks. A person from xda did contact me, so lets see if that bears fruit.

A back up of your phone? I would suggest just making a new back up because it's less time consuming.

Nope it shouldn't. The IMEI number is installed with the firmware. So if you back it up and factory reset, it should fix it.

No, I mean downloading the firmware upgrade. It will download the new files but not install. This was long ago. Right now I get to tools to upgrade and initialise and get the message "does not support initializing" I give up!

No don't give up, just download the firmware and flash it with ODIN. If you need my to explain that, leave me an email and I'll send you the instructions.

What you propose was the second thing I did. The first was doing a factory reset with the older version of the firmware (what the phone came out with). Neither steps worked. The firmware I flashed was (Build number) KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Which btw Kies indicates as the latest version.
