I have activated unlock pattern for unlocking the screen on my SGS, now I want to go back to the original unlock mirror. How do I do that.
When I try to untick Require pattern in Location and security it goes to change unlock pattern, where I need to give a new pattern. I think there's a bug in my SGS.
Any help?
It asks you to confirm your current unlock pattern when you untick Require Pattern. Just put it in and it should be fine.

I truly wish you had not answered this question. People are so dumb these days it pisses me off. Why is a question this dumb in the development area in the first place.

Ok, so I'm sure someone will say this has been answered 100 times but I can't find it in the forums.
I have a locked T-Mobile Wing. I tried entering unlock codes but I guess I entered wrong codes enough that it's really locked. It boots to a screen asking for the Password to unlock (only shows a numpad on screen) and Active Sync won't connect to it (it says I have to unlock the device before it connects).
Hence, I'm not able to run the ROM loader tools which require me to install a CAB file on the device first.
Anyone have a solution to this?

you could just call tmobile and tell them what happened?
I'm sure they might have a way to unlock it.

Yeah.... I bought the phone on eBay. T-Mo says I need to be the original customer in order for them to provide me an unlock code.
the security pin appears even after i install s2u2, so i slide to unlock then have to enter pin again, i've tried to change some settings, but no luck...
please, anyone?
Do you mean the original windows security pin? If you do then it should be in Start>Settings>Lock.
it doesn't work..it's greyed out
Did you get this figured out yet?
yes i did, thanks for asking. i read this: http://dotnetus.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4E39ECD492E4EEC1!672.entry

Now thats interesting
I upgraded to MM v20c and had a pattern unlock set - since then I can no longer unlock. I even went to Android Device Manager and set a code lock - but still can't unlock. I have some important info on the device and do not want to reset the system. Is there any way to do it?
Just to add - I do have access to my gmail, so if there is a way to reset the lock screen do let me know.
Using ADM I can again "lock" the device but dont get a prompt to enter the code. I can also make my phone call another number - but there seems np way to unlock it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: There is no option to enter the code from ADM anywhere.
EDIT 2: I can use adb

I am not rooted
a) There is no logical reason to bootloader lock a phone. You will gain nothing.
b) If you lock it there is a high probability you won't ever be able to bootloader unlock it again - no more mods - ever.
EDIT: Perhaps if you flash the "correct stock" meaning one like/identical to the one that you originally had on your phone when you unlocked it the first time, it will work...
Think about this, please, before you flash things!!!
Do you refer to lock and unlock the bootloader? I locked and unlocked it much times and I've never had problems (obviously considering the bootloader version).

Thanks for replying - could you perhaps write a guide as to exactly how you unlock your bl after using fastboot lock?
I have seen a few folks who appear stuck at that point and I and they would be happy campers if they could get around that!!!
Thanks!
EDIT: I added a comment about "correct stock" to the first post... This may be key to the folks that are having trouble...
You might look at thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/please-help-urgently-t3814260
But I guess I would have to call anyone who successfully locks and unlocks again their bootloader as darn lucky. Some, (many?) can't.
In the end I still have to ask "why the heck are you locking your phone" - what could you possibly gain? It's totally unnecessary. it can be a very expensive little line of code.
I lock my phone all the time, multiple times per day even! It's really easy to unlock: I simply put my finger on the sensor and voila!
Maybe you mean the bootloader? That would be a helpful little detail to add to the title of your post.

I've locked mine as I upgraded to a Pixel 2 XL and gave my Z Play to my father, so I don't really care if I can't unlock it again, but I'm sure that wouldn't be an issue anyway.

I prefer stock without modifications but sometimes when i have time to try news modifications or roms i used to unlocked the phone and after this relock again, the process that i use is very simple, i just unlock with the same code that Motorola gaves to unlock bootloader, i don't have sure but if you request unlock codes to many times can be a problem but i use the same code and works good.
Basically: relock as are specifcified in another topic in this device forum( using the last stock version that you used)
And after this unlock with code again
Obs.: Is not recommended to unlock/relock to many times.
Obs2.: I only did this three times and i don't know if has a limit

It is my opinion also that relocking is a bad idea. But if someone likes to do it, eg to get Google Pay working without Magisk, why do you want to warn him?
Relock only is possible in combination with flashing a complete correctly firmware. If something is wrong with the firmware you flash, relocking won't succeed. Your device won't be locked if it does not fully succeed or the firmware is not correctly signed. The unlock code is supposed to stay valid, you should be able to unlock your device as many times as you want using the same code.
a) is fine, but does not consider Android SafetyNet
b) is just wrong, and this already was written in a comment.
Please do not bump wrong warnings.
Hi,
My daughter has changed the pin on her phone.
Now the phone can be booted using the new pin, but will not unlock.
What's going on? Can anyone help?

Have you try old password???. Is your phone is rooted or modified???. If not, are you able to boot your device??? if you can boot then go to this website
https://www.google.com/android/find?u=1
and login and lock the device with new password once you device get locked by Android device admin enter the new password and enjoy.
