Over on the infuse if someone got that error they just entered a random combination and it would work.
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.

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.
Just DO one Thing, Change your SIM card

Have you encrypted your device storage?
Hi folks!
Sorry for the post (I know it has probably been asked before) but I could not find the answer by seaching so I have to ask again...
My friend has a Galaxy S with stock german T-Mobile software on (he does not know the version). He has forgotten his unlock pattern and the phone does not recognize his Gmail login! He has accepted the fact that his data is probably lost but when I boot the phone into bootloader and select a factory reset the handset is still locked when booting up again?
I have never encountered that problem before so I really hope you know the solution I am a WP7 man myself so my knowledge of Android is basic (know how it works but have never tried to flash new firmware etc.)
/Anders
Boot into dl mode and flash an unbranded stock fw using Odin. You'll find many tutos on how to do that.

factory reset will not work, you can use ADB , How to guide on My Android Collections link below, or flash a kernel or do the whole thing as Dark Knight suggested earlier
hello guys...i am a new user of Samsung galaxy note GT N700 and this is the first time i use a smartphone. My father bought it from a friend. Since i want to root the phone to get full access on it, i have encountered with a problem..
I cannot determine the kernel version, baseband, and firmware built on my phone. There is NO 'about phone' button in settings menu and i have search the entire phone for it. Is it okay to root my galaxy note without knowing these kernel etc info? i have tried to root my phone into Android OS ICS 4 using this way -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936319 but stucked at the 'download mode' section which when i push those button, nothing happenned (i have turned off my phone and tried to enter download mode by pushing those button).
So, how can i determine those kernel version, baseband and firmware built on my phone? thanks for any helpful replies, guys..i'm in such a hurry because tommorrow i have to go back to my college...
There seems to be some weird issue at hand, try doing a factory reset to see if it returns.

Hi everyone!
I bought recently a new galaxy s advanced and for some weird reason i can't make calls, can't text and can't receive anything. But i can unlock my sim without any problem and i can use mobile internet.
I had first the original gingerbread rom (i9070XXLK2), rupgraded it to 4.1.2 jelly bean(i9070XXLQE), rooted it, upgraded the kernel to this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597 and after that tried a cyanogen rom(this one => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497660 ), went after the cyanogen back to the 4.1.2 but nothing works.
atm it is running original 4.1.2 rooted and cwm.
I also tried galaxSim but it doesn't support the galaxy s advanced, also the *#simlock# thing does not work. I am not sure there is a simlock on the phone because mobile internet works.
If you need more info just ask! Not really sure what information you need to know.
I have no idea what to do now, i hope some1 can help me.

You must do Factory reset when you change ROM. Do it now.
Do you have I9070 or I9070P? On CM you do not have network unless you change tee folder if your phone is I9070P.

I have factory resetted it 3 or 4 times (after every rom flash).
It's an I9070, not the P one.
If some1 tries to call me they hear an automated message tape thing that says my number is blocked and i need to call my provider.
I did call my provider and there is nothing blocking my number or the phone.
When i put my sim in another phone everything works fine so the issue must be in the phone itself.
Thanks for trying to help :highfive:

Try to put some other SIM in phone. See what happens then. And did you wipe dalvik cache too? Try that.

I tried 3 different SIM's but all from the same provider, i am going to visit a friend tomorrow to lend his SIM (he has another provider). I wiped dalvik cache every time i factory resetted it (after every rom flash)
Is it possible there is a piece of hardware in the phone blocking the calls and the messages?
Found out something new, if i do phone (the app) => call settings => additional settings, i get a message saying "network or sim card error".
I am searching for an hour now for a fix but i can't find anything. I will keep searching for another couple of hours, i really want to fix this.

Are you sure it is not locked to some provider?

I don't know, as far i can see there is no sign of a provider/region lock. During boot no logo from a provider, sim can be unlocked when it asks for my PIN.
I tried to figure out if there is a simlock with *#SIMLOCK# but the code does not work. Any idea how i can see if there is a sim-lock?

I am not sure where you can look for that. And you bought from store or? You can go there and ask them maybe what is the problem. You have warranty?

I bought it from an auction, a phone shop went bust and they sold thousands of phones. They had over 20 shops and they were not promoting a provider.
it was brand new in a sealed box and as far as i know i don't have warranty.
Is there a place to check if there is still a warranty on the phone?
EDIT: just checked and i have still warranry (produced at oktober 2012) but the problem i have now is, i flashed it a couple of times, isn't my warranty ruined now?

I am not sure how is it in your country about that. You can go to some service center to see if the phone is locked to some carrier.
I just tried to check the binary counter, but as far as i can see it didn't move during the flashes and looks original
When i go in download mode i get this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-I9070
Custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
I think this means it got still warranty?
If it is, i'm going to put back jelly bean on it and try to send it back to samsung, is there a chance they will fix it and won't find out i messed with it?

Yes, just go back to JB and you are good to go. And you can uninstall app that need root if you have any.

No root stuff on the phone anymore, eveything looks how it's suppose to i think
requested to rma the phone and it will be sent tomorrow.
i hope they fix it! Again thanks for the help! :highfive:
Sad news, the phone is back from RMA and there is a simlock on it, but the problem is i can't find a method to remove it 4 free (don't want to pay even more for the damn thing). I am going to a shop from the original carrier over a couple of days(i know which carrier simlocked the crap out of it and they have shops not really far from here) but i am not sure they unlock it for free, and tbh the people that work there probably have no clue how to do it, so i don't have a lot of hope for that so i want to try it first myself if that's possible, but i tried already a couple of things and none of them works. Anyone an idea how i can remove it?

I did not see anyone that unlocked sgsa here on the forum… And I did not see any guide about it for our device.

I was afraid of that, thanks to confirm. Went to the carrier which locked the phone and they said it is illegal to unlock it, which isn't true of course (checked it everywhere and it is legal) I will find a way to fix it with the carrier, thanks for the help.

nah im good homie, imma let that phone be a paperweight
there is only 2 options u have now:
1.flash stock firmware with Odin .
2. even if after flashing it asks for email and stuffs...visit Samsung customer service and state ur issues.
one of my old friend solve that issue u mentioned using option 2 cause he was too noob to flash stock os.
