Forgotten Pin on phone [SAMSUNG DIVE]

Hi i really need some help here. I stupidly was testing out the samsung dive mobile tracker feature and forgot i already set a pin for it. So when i locked it, i cannot remember the pin at all. I've tried everything.
Is there any way for me to flash the phone or reset it at all? Bare in mind i haven't flashed this apart from the official way of using samsung kies. I don't mind using ODIN if i have to flash it that way. It's just a case of whether ill be able to connect it up to my pc because it asks for a pin and there is no way of actually getting in by using a forgotten pin method.

Easy -.-'
Just start phone in Recovery Mode (Speaker Up + Home + Power) and select factory reset.

Omg please help

Hi guys today i tried to instal a stock rom 2.3.3 via odin
i got the version from sam mobile
i installed it succesfully
but when it tries to boot it repeats the samsung logo too many times (like boot Again with out turning the phone off)
then i reinstalled the version
and again i got the sam problem
so i went to recovery menu and tried to wipe
when i tried to wipe it comes a message telling me confirm password now i cant do anything
:|
PLZ help
after that i went back download mode and tried to install version 2.3.6 via odin but when it succesfully installs it , it tells me to enter a password again PLZ HELP I GOT 2MANY PROBLEMS :|

Usually that is a password from Sam mobile to unlock the firmware. Try samfirware. com as the password. On there site it tells you there passwords.

Hi
I had similar problem... After first reboot following an Odin flash I was requested to "Confirm password" and got on-screen keyboard. The hint was given after typing wrong password several times - it warned me that my personal data will wiped if make further errors.
So I eventually realized - I had an Exchange account sync set up previously - which required me to type PIN or password to unlock the device. AFAIU, apart from unlocking the screen, it may also be used for encryption of some contents on "sdcard". Installation realizes this and asks for the password... I typed my PIN - it complained that it is wrong - but still went ahead completing the installation.
For some reason I cannot replicate this behaviour again - maybe because I was running ICS before - which has improved security allowing for contents encryption and now I flashed stock Gingerbread. Anyway "Confirm password" screen looks similar to the one used by "Password encryption" (which I was not familiar with using a PIN).
Did you have similar scenario? Did typing previous PIN or password help?

[RESOLVED] Please Help! Forgot Lock Screen Password - Unrooted!

Apparently i've changed my lockscreen password this morning which i'm sure i remembered the changed password but i could not access into my phone ever since. I've gone through the forum for the possible ways to resolve my issue but i couldn't find the best way to do it as some threads are most probably out of date.
I would still want my data to be kept therefore i did not perform the factory reset. The data i would like to maintain are my contacts and pictures.
My phone is unrooted, it's probably not usb debugged as well. I'm unsure of the firmware version of my phone too.
I did not try to root my phone yet because I am not sure what I'm doing and am not sure if i can actually root it when my lock screen is locked.
Please advise on how i can resolve the issue without losing my data. I do not mind having an option to copy my data out from the phone storage before resetting my phone though.
Thank you!
Updated:
Apparently i had registered my phone with a samsung account which allows me to unlock my phone via the "where's my phone" through the Samsung website. I did not root nor factory reset my phone for this, but i still appreciate everyone who replied to my post! For anyone who is having the same problem with me and unfortunately did not have an account with Samsung/gmail, you might want to look through the suggestion below! :good:

Ok, first of all You have to root Your phone with this file: http://adfoc.us/4207233512571
Put it on Your external sdcard, reboot Your phone into CWM (volume up+home+power) and flash it. Great, now You have root.
Since You don't have usb debugging enabled You will have to use aroma file manager.
Before running aroma file manager in CWM make sure You have data mounted. (mounts and storage->mount data).
If You have it installed go to: /data/system/ and delete such file as "gesture.key" and some other "*.key" files in case there are some others.
Ok, now You should be done. Reboot Your phone. If it won't boot You will have to flash good kernel, but I think this should work.
One more thing, reseting data won't delete Your pictures as they are stored on sdcard and contacts are probably synced to google account.
In case You had some questions or problems just ask me.
I'll answer as soon as possible. If You will need some faster help we could talk on Facebook or Skype.

There are too many ways to reset your lockscreen.. I will give you the easiest way (Make sure that you are using the way I will give for your own phone, not someone else phone, as we don't want to get in trouble..!!)
1. Download @Phil3759 custom recovery from here (the zip one).
2. Download [updater-script]_Remove_LockScreen_Security.zip from attachment in this thread here.
2. Put both zip files in sdcard
3. Reboot to recovery mode by pressing and holding Power button + Volume up + Home button simultaneously.
4. Once you are in recovery, flash Philz recovery.
5. Reboot to recovery mode again (press and hold Power button + Volume up + Home button).
6. You will be in Philz recovery now, just flash [updater-script]_Remove_LockScreen_Security.zip which will remove the lockscreen security.

[Q] GT-I9000: Boot screen freeze, no download mode, no access through ADB or Heimdall

Hey guys!
To keep it brief:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Problem: At startup, the boot logo shows up but nothing else happens.
Possible cause: Flashing "cm-10.1.3-galaxysmtd.zip" using CWM Recovery
Debugging results:
No access to recovery mode.
No access to download mode.
No access through ADB.
No access through Heimdall (heimdall detect -> ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.).
No access through Odin.
No different reaction after taking out battery for some time.
No effect of taking out SIM.
Outlook:
Debugging mode should still be turned on (Could help if the connection with the ADB worked).
Search for driver issues (Unlikely, because tried under Linux & Windows).
I hope you have some ideas left for me 'cause I'm at my wit's end.
Many thanks!

use jig to make your phone able to go to download mode.
Search for "Homemade USB Jig" in Google and make a jig using resisters. USB jig assure 100% success if there is not any hardware problem

Yes, jig- or you can buy one on ebay for ca 2€.
BTW, are you sure you have the i9000 and not one of sub-models? Did you check your imei no? If you've flashed i9000 on one of its variants, it is bricked, only service can revive it then. I suspect this, did you flash with succes any i9000 rom before this?
Another question: did you wipe 3x before flashing CM zip file?

IMEI check returns "Model: I9000 Galaxy S" (Sorry, but I'm not allowed to post outside links). I don't think it is a very special version although there might be differences to the american products.
You mean wipe data or wipe dalvik cache? No, I didn't. In fact, I just backed up the whole system using CWM and after that I flashed the ZIP from the internal SD-card.
It might be worth mentioning that this was my first "real" flash since I only rootet it a few months ago.

The point is, that flashing a ROM made for i9000 would cause bricking of any other device. There are about 20 sub-models of i9000 and they all look the same. Therefore it is good if you've checked your IMEI no.
It might be, that your i9000 is in bootloop because you haven't wiped. It is required to do so before flashing CyanogenMod: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Try this trick: remove your battery, keep the power button constantly pressed for 1min. Then while battery is still removed keep 3-buttons-combo pressed (power+home+volume down) and insert the battery while all buttons pressed (acrobacy or using mouth needed), maybe you can reach the download mode then?

I checked the IMEI on "imei dot info" but I couldn't see anything special.
If I ever get this thing back to work, I'll never miss that point again.
Unfortunately, the trick didn't have any effect after several tries. (new acrobatic skill unlocked! )

Pity it didin't work. I really hope it will work when you get your USB jig. It would be good if you quote my text and let know about the news.
If the jig inforces download mode on your phone, keep in mind that flashing a stock ROM should start quite soon, as the i9000 after some 30sec in download mode "gets sleepy" and often won't react if you're waiting long before the flashing starts. Then turn it off, prepare Odin and turn it on just short before you start to flash the ROM.
Once you retail download mode again, just follow my unbricking instructions in this topic:

Good luck!

Great!! Congratulations and many years of fun with your i9000 did you use my guide for revival?

[SOLVED] I'm possibly bricked.

Okay, so, I know it's possible to fix this, it has to be. And let me explain why I can conclude this.
1.) I can access Philz recovery but ONLY when forcing the phone to hard reset via buttons.
2.) The touchscreen works in the recovery when resetting but doesn't go to the main menu or anything to restore a backup.
3.) The phone will recognize adb commands from the computer, but since the touches don't work when booted I cannot select the "allow this computer" prompt.
4.) The phone boots into the CM11 ROM and the buttons work (I can change volume, take screenshots, and access power menu.)
So, I'll explain what happened. I tested a boot.img for Quarx and flashed it. I didn't reboot my phone, just let it stay on. It worked and everything, but a little bit after church it rebooted on me and showed the CM setup menu. I was like, "What? Okay..." So I was going trying to make it work, but I realized the touchscreen wouldn't respond to my touches. I locked/unlocked the screen, rebooted, all that good stuff, and none of it worked. So, here's the damage done.
1.) I can't touch anything on the screen. It won't respond to touches.
2.) I cannot access recovery, only hard reset.
3.) I cannot approve adb commands because I need to hit "allow" on the screen. (The prompt does come up though)
So, I have a phone that boots, responds to hardware actions, and can recognize adb commands, but won't accept them unless I say "allow." I can access recovery but only when factory resetting through holding Power + VOL DOWN when booting. The touchscreen works in recovery, but it won't do any actions (back, home, etc.) because it's resetting. After resetting it boots instantly, and voila, my problem remains.
So in short, I need a way to bypass that "authentication" for adb, because in order for fastboot to recognize my device I need to run adb commands to set it up (since that's gone too now). That, or, I need to find a way to access Philz recovery without having to use the touchscreen. It's so frustrating because the one button I need to press is literally right in front of my face, on my screen, but it won't respond to my input.
Does anybody here have any suggestions? I haven't been able to flash a KDZ successfully, I don't know why. It never works for me on this phone. I was a pro at it on the L9. School begins in a week and I need to have a phone that works, for transportation and such. I'm not really at a point to buy a phone right now either since I'm focusing on buying my first car (yay I guess).
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. In fact, I'm even willing to donate money to whomever can point me in the right direction.

I hate to say it but Factory Reset appears to be your only option for a fix.

Maybe this is a long shot but check out this thread

@Ilxaot
are able to use philz??? fully...means is touch working on philz???
if yes then
you can put aroma file manager there...and in root of it in default.prop
change the lines
ro.adb.secure=1
ro.secure=1
to
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
and reboot
now you have adb access without any confirmation required....
this is possible only if philz is working...
best luck...
and remove every possible LG driver from your pc
then reboot
connect to the internet
dont install drivers manually
let windows find the drivers if it doesnt find one.
then just reboot
after rebooting install drivers manually.
this works form me everytime.

The only way I can boot into Philz is when it's factory resetting. When it's resetting, it shows the recovery and everything, but it's just resetting. There are no options to flash anything and such. It just resets and reboots.
EDIT - If I could get a KDZ to flash, I'd be set. When I connect my phone in laf mode (s/w mode) my computer doesn't recognize it. It says it's an unknown USB device, and shows a warning symbol next to it in the device manager. If I could get that fixed, I might be able to flash!

The recovery you use was not ok
Its gave me same problem when i try it,thank God i can enter download mode to flash KDZ and back to TWRP.
But what that is amazing me about your is that its cant do what other D415 does why? did your own D415 is special.
Also another thing is USB debugging,If you using CM11 by Quartz it was enable by default in that rom

Yes but I still need to accept the prompt asking if I want to allow the computer to access the phone, which I cannot do because the screen does not respond.
How did you manage to flash the KDZ? I know it will be fixed if I can flash it, but I'm not having any luck flashing it! It keeps saying that the device is unknown, even though I've installed and uninstalled the drivers countless times.

I tried that guide last night. The LG tool just has a bunch of question marks instead of text, is that normal?

Okay, I'll keep trying. When you booted into download mode, did your computer say the USB device was unknown?

Can you give me the link to the kdz you used? I feel that's the problem. It gets stuck at 2%, and another user said he changed KDZs and it worked fine. I got my computer to recognize it, now I just need it to flash it lol.. It's really depressing how something as incredibly stupid as a KDZ flash is holding me back, and nobody's suggestions seem to be working. About to just give up and not even care about mobiles anymore >.<

The guide that I followed was the one about flashing KDZs in thy general section. The problem I had was that my KDZ that I downloaded was corrupt somehow, so I had to find a working one!!
