Guys n gals.
Some donkey in the office has set a pin on his device (Not a sim pin) and I cannot reset it.
I've tried a hard reset. I've tried holding down the green and red buttosn and doing a format and reset I've now just pushed an older Rom to the phone to see if that helped..
Still no joy.
Can anyone suggest how I can remove this phone pin?
TIA

i locked my dash and i thought i knew the code but i guess i dont because it wont work, wht should i do?
How did you lock your phone, with a device lock or SIM PIN? Are you prompted that you have 10 tries (SIM) or do you see "Unlock" over the left soft key when the device turns on? If the second, a hard reset will clear the password.
Procedure to make a HARD RESET
Hello,
Which is the procedure to make a Hard Reset to the phone HTC S620 ?
Thanks
I recently tried to unlock my uncle's Diamond. I used Hard SPL1.4 from this site, and it finished that successfully. After restarting, I went through the whole screen calibration and so on, then I went to the kitchen to get some food. By the time I got back, the Diamond wouldn't start at all. I haven't tried a hard reset, but I don't think that would do me any good since the phone doesn't start up at all. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to tell my uncle I ****ed his phone..
Just a quick detail, I did notice that after it started up again, the area next to the SIM card slot heated up quite a bit. I don't know if that's related, but I figured I'd tell you anyway.
The Hard SPL of choice is the 1.93. Any who, try and place the device into bootloader mode (tri-colour screen).
Hard Reset Your Device:
• Soft reset button and hold the vol. down + Circle button until u see the grey screen. REMEMBER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING SAVED ON THIS ROM (i.e. contacts, calender, etc.)
Bootlaoder Mode:
• Soft reset and hold the volume down until u see the tri screen
Do you see the Hard spl 1.40? if yes, then just a hard reset and see what happens
IF none of the above worked, take out the BATTERY for a bit and try the above options all over again.
Hi, thought i would add to this thread.
Mine also did this, it worked fine for a week with Windows Revolution 6.5 rom then it randomly turned off and refuses to turn on.
Bootloader mode / hard / soft reset none work.
I've just got a used LG Quantum (for AT&T)
and was wondering if it is safe to go ahead and perform a factory reset.
As far as I can research on the internet, there are two methods for about doing this
First, go to settings and do the reset
Second, press something like volumn keys and camera and turn the power on for "cold boot"
My question is... what are the differences between those two methods?
Is is safe for me to do any of them and have a fresh new start on this used phone?
Also, will any of the two operations above relock my carrier sim?
I don't live in the US so I can't call AT&T to get another unlock code.
Thank you.~
You don't have to re-enter unlock code once you've enter it! Happy reset time
Btw, the different of two methods for resetting is that even your phone refuses to boot and you couldn't go to setting, ect.., you can reset it by hard keys!
I reset mine using the software menu method fine.
Both are the same though and it only resets the phone itself not your sim card.
I havent used my x12 in over 6 months and when i tried to use it today ive forgotten the pattern lock (entered over 20 wrong guesses) and i cant remember the answer to my security question, ive tried putting my googlemail details in but its saying their the wrong combination.

In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
Go to the last option.. I forgot the name. And click on reset configuration.. It will do a factory reset.
Note : All data on internal memory will be wiped.
You could just reflash using pcc or seus using the repair function when phone is in flash mode.
This will install new software and delete all files of phone.
If all else fails try this.

Hi all, I'm not an Xperia user, but Nexus, so sorry if I'm not knowing basic know-how for this device! My father I font now how inserted a pw in the device and now is not able to use the phone anymore... And the problem is mine!
I wanted to factory reset but all try I did were not sucessfull:
1) pw button+vol up not working
2) hw reset button 5sec not working
3) secret dial code not working
What else I can try before connect the phone to pc and try to reset with it? I don't want to read all the instruction for it, I don't know from where start because I'm totally new for this device...
Thanks for your help
Not sure if I remember that correctly, but there's a tiny red button next to the SIM card that should do a factory reset when pressed for more than five seconds.
Already tryied, but nothing, it just shut down the phone
