You have tried 10 times. please wait for retry
i kept it on charger for 2 days on without touching it as i know i can enter the code for a while but nothing happened
i flashed the phone with the same and difference operator roms and still the same
anyway to get out of this
Regards
This is just an idea, don´t know if it works but, did you try make a soft or hard reset? i will show you tried 10 times but may be let you enter the code.
Good luck

i want to pay for sim unlocking the phone but i have this message "you have tried 8 times please wait to retry"
and i don't know what to do...is there any way to make the keyboard work i can't press nothing
please help me
Don't know why you tried guessing the SIM lock code... you can call your provider and get it for free.
I think it times out after 10-15 minutes...
Hi all,
One of the users in our company has locked himself out of his i780 by forgetting the 4-digit PIN he set on the device (not the SIM PIN).
The problem I have is that it is running one of the older ROM's that did not have the hard reset button combination on it so I cannot reset it at all. It also won't enter bootloader mode using the usual combination (although this may be because of the countdown timer on the device not accepting input).
Anyone got any ideas on what I can do next?
Thanks.

I wonder if you can short certain pins on the flash chip to destroy the checksum and thus cause the device to reset itself - this method was used in the LinkSys WRT54G router and some MP3 players..
did you try reflashing the phone with new firmware? might help since the pin is set on operating system level (afaik), the firmware upgrade is done on bootloader level.

But he can't get into the loader mode, so Mirage is a no-go.. I suppose the phone doesent even connect to ActiveSync, hm? If it would then the official HL1/2 updaters are able to reset the phone into the loader mode and flash it
Correct, I cannot get it into bootloader mode because the usual key combo does not work and activesync refuses to recognise the phone until the PIN is entered so I cannot use Mirage or the official updaters!
Looks like I'll have to send it off to Samsung!
Cheers guys.
try contacting them first by phone and see if they can't help out. otherwise you'll have to wait for a looong time
Yeah, I've sent phones to them before, they do take a while.
They say they need them back to take the lock off so looks like it'll take a while!
Moral of this story: Don't forget that damn PIN!

Doesn't it wipe itself after the 50th attempt?
How old is that version? before Nov2007? Can you post the version number? something like "i780XXHA4"

By Omnia this ok
1. type *7465625*638*# to set
2. type your MCC/MNC code (list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code), e.g.26003 for Polish ORANGE
3. type your new NCK (12345678), then OK
3. type *#7465625 to check your lock
4. type #7465625*638*# and type your NCK (12345678)
5. enjoy.
Hello,
I have got a big problem with my Asus a10. Somehow, yesterday, when i took it out of my pocket the screen said enter code. I tried entering my pin code and my puk code, both didnt work, the only thing that happened was that it locked my phone. Now everytime i boot up the phone it starts with the enter code screen and it says 1 attempt left. Everytime i try to enter a code it just blockes, takes me to the homescreen and says network locked. The only thing i can do from there is turn off the phone or make emergency calls.
When i reboot, it still says 1 attempt left.
I tried hard resetting the phone by holding both volume keys and the power key, didnt work either.
The strange thing is, it happens also when the sim card is out.
I also tried to update the firmware but you have to enable the usb file transfer mode and i cant enable that because its locked!
Does anyone have any idea or do i have to send the phone to garmin?? The problem with that is that i rooted it and that voids the warranty, and i cant unroot it because i need to enable usb file transfer!
thanks in advance..
Peter
So no one has had this problem before?
Sorry for the shameless bump hehe

Hi .
read a few threads about this problem, but they seem old - is there any way to unlock the tp2 ?
i have used the same pin for over a year and suddenly it said "incorrect password" when trying to unlock.
now it doesnt even give a "response" when tapping the unlock button.
i can tap in an emergency number and call that but nothing more.
when i try to connect to pc i get error that device is unlocked and pls unlock to sync.
any tips ?
Assuming that you are referring to the WM OS pin code, no. There is no way short of a hard reset to clear that out.
Sorry. Hope you have a somewhat recent backup. Otherwise you are SOL.
My G4 gives me warning about unlock attempts remaining when using a pattern or knock code (See attached image).
However, it doesn't say that it's going to wipe my device.... so I'm not sure what it's going to do if all the attempts are used. I don't want some idiot to pick up my phone and be able to wipe the device just by messing around with the unlock screen.
Can anyone confirm what happens when all the unlock attempts are used?
Is there any way to disable the unlock attempts limit `feature`?

Why on Earth would you think it wipes the device? It, like most any other phone, has a longer wait period to unlock the device if you incorrectly enter codes in.

On page 41 of the Verizon LG G4 Manual it states:
After 5 unsuccessful attempts to unlock your phone, you're prompted to enter a text phrase to confirm that you're trying to unlock your phone.
You have 10 opportunities to enter your unlock sequence. After 10 unsuccessful attempts, your phone will automatically perform a factory data reset and all of your
personal files will be erased. You will be warned after the 9th unsuccessful attempt.
If you've set a Knock Code, after 6 unsuccessful attempts, you're prompted to enter your Backup PIN to unlock your phone.

That has a lawsuit waiting to happen. Thanks Verizon... (or LG, if this is a phone design rather than carrier)

My Mom's Galaxy S5 for Verizon wipes the phone after 10 unlock attempts by default but has an option to turn it off (she discovered this the hard way when she wiped her phone because she couldn't remember her pattern).
Also, I know that the HTC One M8 does this.
Thankyou woozzy101 for finding that information, its very helpful. Now I just need to find a way to disable this idiotic 'feature'.
I just tested using an invalid Knock Code 5x times to make it use the backup pin... However when entering the backup pin it doesn't tell me that there are 'x attempts remaining' , but I only attempted to enter my backup pin once (and did it correctly) as I'm afraid of wiping my device by testing entering invalid backup pins. Is anyone brave/crazy enough to test what happens if you use all of your invalid knock code attempts then enter the backup pin incorrectly multiple times? I want to know if this will result in wiping the device... if it doesn't then I'll be using this unlock method instead of the pattern.
Also, does anyone know if this 'feature' is something that is part of Android, or a custom addition by LG or Verizon?

I downloaded the G4 manual from Verizon to familiarize myself with the phone before I got it. When I read about the factory reset I was like, ruh-roh, that is an accident waiting to happen. Way too easy to wipe someones phone messing around with it. Or if you have kids and your kid gets it and plays around with it....
I keep re-reading the Manual and the factory reset falls under "Changing Your Screen Lock". It might only do factory reset if you already have the phone unlocked and in the settings to remove the lock screen? Best Buy wont deliver my phone till June 5th (this Friday) so i cant really test it
On my EU origin H815 at the 10th attempt for a pin it simply tells me to wait 30 seconds just like it did at 5 attempts. At 15 attempts you get this;

After the 20th you get this;

So it looks like a Verizon thing. Go figure, they're always trying to f*** with you
