Don't use an unlock code, they've caused a lot of problems.
Instead, if you root your phone and then use this guide you can get SIM unlock for free - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
Hello, I just bought the HTC desire Z and have put the draw pattern lock code on, and have forgotten the pattern. I have had it just 4 days so any lost data is not a big deal. I have tryed the volume down power button hardset way. but it always just sarts the phone and brings me back to the draw pattern lock. If anybody has had to hard reset their phone, any ifno would help. Otherwise my phone is going away for 4-6 weeks.

what happens when you goto forgot pattern?
I can't get into anything. The phone starts up and then you can slide down on the screen then the 9 dots come up for the draw pattern. thats all i co do
try to enter your pattern 5 times, when the "wait 30 seconds" prompt comes up hit "ok", then there will be a "forgot pattern" button in the lower left

Hi i purchased a unlock code for my HTC Wildfire at the beginning of the year and i cant find email with code in.
i am now giving the phone away and want to hard reset using this method:
Turn the power off. If your HTC Wildfire is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If i do this will it become locked again.
i have a wildfire running froyo and was originally locked on tesco mobile
Sim lock should be permanent.
So it should not change.
Thank you just to confirm I did hard reset my wildfire and it was still unlocked cheers
I live at Brazil.
My father went to USA and bought me a Wildfire UNLOCKED at J&R (i have the receipt).
He is not used to mobiles, so he turned the phone on and said: "it´s working".
When a took the phone i realised that it is locked. I believe by "Three", since it's logo shows up when turning on.
J&R refuse to replace the phone.
How could i get it unlocked? At Three site said i could buy the code. But i don´t have a Three phone to call them.
Do somebody knows how much does it cost? Is there any other way to buy, not calling them?
And most important: does the phone got permanently locked if i enter a wrong unlock code? I had tried some codes from my sim card (i thought it was what the phone was asking for).
Don't know if it's related to root or unlock bootloader.
Yesterday I used toolkit v7 to root and unlock my GN. All went very well. This morning, when I pressed power button to wake up the phone, the unlock screen came up for less than 1 second then the phone turned black screen. I didn't even have chance to slide the bar to unlock it. 2nd time I was successively unlocking it by sliding extremely fast in less than 1 second, then the screen turned to black again. However, you still can feel vibration when you touched the black screen, meaning the phone was actually working.
What I found was I have to repeat below steps 5 to 7 times to finally have stable unlock screen
1. press power to wake up, unlock screen flashes for 1 second and the phone turns black screen immediately
2. press power to make it sleep mode (still in black screen)
3. repeat first step
Anyone has similar issue and solution to help?
I am still with stock rom 4.0.4, only unlock bootloader and root, nothing else.
Thanks so much for the help
It doesn't have anything to do with root and boot loader unlocking. I had this problem on 4.0.2 but it went away after I rebooted.

Thanks. I have been trying to reboot at least 10 times and the same unlock issue still exists.
Yesterday my phone freaked out and the lock screen turned in to a white screen with no input box only an emergency call button, I was using knock. I ended up clearing the phone out and started from scratch so I wiped data, but now when I select knock and lock the phone, it quickly prompts the type in your pin then opens.
Anyone seen anything like this?
Edit
Actually any lock screen I select does what I described above other than swipe

Did someone try to enter your phone multiple times? Maybe this is how the phone locks them (or you...) out. After a number of unsuccessful attempts, the phone will prompt you for the unlock pin you set as a failsafe.

Well first I noticed the phone wasnt really locking, it would flash to the back up pin lock then flash away, and it did that many times before the screen just went white. I rebooted, cleared cache, I was unable to adb to it. I ended up clearing everything and starting from scratch.
Its really odd, only the swipe lockscreen works.
HELP!!!
This is a really weird problem with my non-rooted D850 on an MVNO (H20 Wireless). I have had the phone for several months and other that a battery issue, I'm super happy with it.
I had been using the knock code to lock the phone and my home as a safe place. Never had a problem with the knock code.
Two nights ago, in an attempt to appease a suspicious wife, I decided to change it to a pattern so she can get in, then I got a pair and decided to change it back to the old knock code. I then noticed that the knock, and swipe where grayed out and so did the research and cleared the credentials to bring the knock code option back. Now the knock code does not match and I can't change it to anything else.
When I reboot the phone the knock code request comes up. I start to do the knock code and it turns off the screen at the second "knock". I double tap toward the top of the screen to avoid the knock code area, the screen turns on and it's asking for the knock code, wich doesn't match, but I start the one I knew again and it turns the screen off again and the 2nd knock. After five times the phone asks for the back up pin and I'm in, and the phone immediately asks to change the lock screen. I change the screen lock it to a pattern as the knock and swipe are grayed out again.
I receive confirmation of the lock screen has been changed, but NOPE!!! NOT CHANGED!!!
It's still asking for the knock code, that doesn't match, at reboot, or when I try to change the lock screen. To add insult to injury the phone won't lock, even if I leave it sit for an hour (time out is 2 min and I'm not at my safe place)
Any thoughts other than a factory reset?
Not having any luck with research. I would love someone's input.
Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?
Now I find that I can't reset my phone b/c of the knock code that doesn't match
Factory Reset
You could try powering off the phone, holding the volume down and power button. When the LG logo appears, quickly release the power and volume button and after that hold them again, you will see a white screen with an option to reset the phone. Don´t know if this works with the knock-code, let me know!

I ended up doing a factory reset a couple weeks ago. I couldn't find ANY support information about this. The phone had the knock code locked in, and since it "magically" changed (or fat-fingered when trying to change originally) it rejected the only knock code I ever used. The LG volume/power reset is difficult for me (as are screenshots) to perform as I have fairly large hands and the buttons are right next to eachother.
Either-way, i ended up resetting the phone and now only use a PIN or pattern to lock it. Pitty many apps seem to not like the knock code as a secure locking method.
my oneplus 3 (rooted) is not accepting my swipe pattern and does not give me the option to enter a pin code after a forgotten swipe pattern. i called oneplus but the person i spoke to said the only option was to wipe the phone. she would not allow me to talk directly to anyone with any technical expertise.
when i power on the phone everything seems normal until i get to the swipe pattern screen. first ,the bootloader screen (i think, the screen where you either press the start button to start the phone, or use the volume buttons to select options like poweroff/restart/recovery etc) shows up and then the oneplus logo comes up with the 'powered by android' at the bottom. then it shows the two white dots orbiting the red circle and then the screen to enter the swipe pattern appears with 'to start android, draw your pattern' at the top. i have made a few failed attempts, but it is now counting down, saying you have 6 attempts before the phone is wiped.
about two weeks ago i began having an issue that occurred maybe 2 or 3 times since. i would pull my phone out of my pocket and it would be powered off. after i turned it on, the initial swipe pattern would not be accepted, but the second swipe was always accepted.
i have tried entering recovery mode (teamwin), but the swipe pattern fails here also.
is there any way to get the phone started without losing my data?

Don't think you can do anything. Haven't encountered this what did you do with your phone? Are you on the latest TWRP? Latest OOS?

i had not changed anything on the phone recently. the swipe pattern has been the same since i got the phone over 2 years ago. i believe i was on the latest twrp, and i had a notification for about a week or two that there was an update available, but did not get around to downloading and installing it yet.
