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'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.
Hi,
I am experiencing something very weird with my G4. Started this morning once I got into work.
I woke up, read my messages and then locked the phone while I went to get dressed. Put the phone in my pocket then left for work. When I arrived at work the phone would not unlock. I repeatedly put my unlock code into the keypad and every time it told me it was incorrect.
I hadn't changed the code, and I know what I am putting in is definitely correct, but I still can't unlock my phone to use it.
What can I do!?
Thanks
In addition, I have gone to the Android Device Manager web page and locked my phone from there with a password in the hope I could recover it that way. While my home screen now says it is locked by ADM, it won't let me enter any passwords - there is a pad lock icon on the screen, but thats all and nothing responds to me pressing the screen.

Sorry for asking the obvious : do you have tried to reboot? It sounds like the gatekeeper service is crashed which should be fixable by just reboot.
If you tried that already:
Do you had enabled USB debugging? If so you can delete the gatekeeper files and after a reboot it will be unlocked.
Or
Is your bootloader unlocked and do you have twrp installed? then you can do the same in twrp.
EDIT
----------
Here are the details if adb or twrp is in place:

Hello xda members!
I am really stuck and I have lost many nervs trying to unlock the bootloader.
Well, I am not new to this and never had a problem the last years with several phones but this one s***s balls, sorry.
In the settings I checked for "OEM-Unlock" of course. Rebooted to Download Mode but I don't get the screen where I have to press Vol-Up to confirm unlocking the bootloader. What's up with that?
I tried everything I could think about but as I said I'm stuck and you guys here are my last chance.
I really hope someone can help me.
Greetings

As I said I checked for OEM-Unlock and it's on. And I don't have a problem entering Download mode. I don't get the screen to confirm unlocking bootloader. And that's what I don't understand.

Let we make it clear, If you enter download mode from Android Recovery, you will not see the option to long press volume up to unlock the boot loader. You will see it if you enter download mode: Turn off it, press and hold volume up + volume down together while pressing these keys, connect the phone to PC using USB cable.
enter download mode and long press vol up should fix the problem
I have the same problem with my galaxy fold F900F ..
I can enter to green screen ( download mode ) But there is no option for long press volume up ..
only I get long press volume down + power to restart the phone ...
so how to confirm unlocking bootloader in this case .. ?

Hello,
The problem usually comes when you unlock and lock bootloader too many times (2 or 3). To fix this problem you need to go into download mode - flash the stock firmware from samfw.com and then setup you phone. Then, unlock oem will be available in developer options and then you can unlock bootloader from download mode.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I think you need to flash the stock firmware.Then, bootloader unlock will be available in the download mode.
FYI If anyone is having this issue like me, just use power button + vol up + vol down button while powered off then connect usb cable, and it worked (for me!)
hey all. I had the same problem and managed to make the hold volume up to unlock option appear by connecting to internet, making a google account and samsung account, and fully completing the setup (no more "finish setting up your phone" notification)
Hope it works for you! there might be some waiting period as I did this over several weeks of playing around with it.

if you want to remove that finish setting up notification, just go to notification info then app info and disable that app, it's redundant anyways

I had the exact same problem with my SM-A505W! I looked everywhere and could not find anything. Eventually, I found a couple of things relating to a bug where you either had to plug in the USB-C earbuds that came with the phone or plug it into one of your computer's USB 2.0 ports. I did the latter.
This is what I did. First off ensured my phone was just like the one noted above by noobynoob7. Next I plugged my phone into a USB 2.0 port on my laptop. At this point I heard my phone connect and noted that the screen showed me my phone was charging.
***Important*** I pressed the volume up and volume down at the same time; then I pressed the power button, holding all three down simultaneously! At this point my phone immediately went into the familiar download mode with the option to long press the volume up button to unlock the bootloader.
I am about to return a S10e G970F because I can't get past this as well. Button combinations mentioned don't do anything for me, completely lost.
EDIT: Fixed now somehow. Sad that I am now apparently forever stuck on Android 12, even with custom ROMs?

Hello everyone,
Sorry for disturbing you but I'm desperate, I tried everything and I can't find a way to unlock my bootloader, Here are the steps I've done so far ... First I've activated the OEM Unlock option in the dev mode, then I've turned off my phone and booted into recovery by pressing bixby boutton + Volume up, Then I choose Reboot into bootloader and so far from there I got only a screen saying to hold Bixby + Volume down for more than 7 sec to reboot the device and also got a bar code there ... I don't got the function to unlock the bootloader as everyone else ...
Also I've bought my phone yesterday here in saudi arabia, and I got the latest firmware version and that it N975FXXU1BSL7/N975FOXM1BSL9
Model N975F/DS

If you must unlock your boot loader, plug your usb into a pc, turn off the phone, hold volume up and volume down together, and plug the usb cable in.
Then you will find the unlock option.
