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

Hello,
I have problem - When I turn on my BA and field for PIN entering appears I enter my PIN code and click OK and then it does not go further it just still stuck on PIN entering screen. When I put another Sim Card on my phone wich dont have PIN protection its just No Service I have no idea what is going on, please help me.
Edit: some info: I didint checked it on WM2003 because when I bought phone I instantly installed WM6 because I'm buying and resseling phones and this never happened before. I also upgraded radio to 1.15 but still no changes.
The same occurred to me today, my phone freezed while I was typing an e-mail, so I pushed the reset button. After booting (TNT wm6) and pressing the unlock code, my phone freezed.
Sometimes it allows me to enter my pin (4 digits), sometimes I can only enter one or just nothing.
When I tried with another SIM it worked.. I'm at home now and I tried to boot without a SIM, but it still freezes after the unlock code.
I'm thinking of flashing my phone back to the original firmware to check if that solves the problem. The only problem is that I’ll lose all my messages. I don't care much about the Calendar and contacts, since I sync with exchange..
Anyone has a solution other than flashing a new OS?
Phone model: i-mate K-Jam
jupieee i fixed it i just had to downgrade to wm2003 and then enter unlock code. dont know why it didint worked on wm6 and wm5
probably a flash gone bad. or another GSM/3G Band conflict...
Read my thread about no phone/ no service here... some pointers may help
I know how to do
Just use the stick press the reset hole when the screen is made of four color after you have changed the battery.
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.
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.
Hi All,
First of all I'm not a native english speaker and I'm a noob in this stuff o rom's .
I recently bought a phone and on update it to JB 4.1.1 with Sense 4+ . Everything went ok and the phone apparently was working ok.
The next day I just noticed that the bluetooth was not 100% because I had some cuts in the sound when connected to a bluetooth headset. Because of this I looked for another OTA update and it found one that said somethink like "General System Improvement" or something like that.
I've installed it but this update didn't went till the end since I get stucked on the "red sign" indicating some fail. I try to reboot the phone but apparently he was dead.
After a lots of tries and key combinations I was able to enter the boot mode and choose to restore to factory mode, but apparently it was not successful. Then I tried and option to check for CRC of img files I think (not sure because don't remeber). It check for 3 images files showing the CRC code, then I think the phone get stucked on one because I still have the waiting message but nothing else happens.
I pressed power button again trying to reboot the phone but since then then phone died completly. The only sign of life is when I connect to the PC windows emits the sound of detecting something but gives an error related to the drives.
Sometimes I get a message saying that a ARX device was found but not anymore.
Tried almost everything that I could read on this forum but nothing seems to work...I think the phone is looping on the boot or doesn't have any battery...not sure.
I've tried some RRU but they fail to find the phone saying not connected or not detected.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks
Johny
Sent it back for warranty repair as soon as you can this is a known fault as it happened to me recently.

Getting out of APX mode
Your bootloader isn't locked right? Or were you ever rooted? If the answer is no, just send it to HTC and your warranty will do the rest.

Hello, this is my first post so forgive me if I'm in the wrong area. Let me try to explain where I'm at. I purchased an HTC6500LVW from Craigslist that was restarting randomly. I figured if it boots up and works, even for a little while, I could find a solution on XDA to fix it. Well, I've tried to reset the phone a few different ways with no luck and even tried to use a tested working EXE version of the last RUU for the the verizon m7 (4.4.3) (from one of dottat's posts). The phone is locked, S-on, not rooted. The phone has a free version of McAfee Mobile app on it that is set up for security. I have never dealt with McAfee and I think their app is the cause of my problem. I can unlock the device with the McAfee PIN but it keeps prompting every few minutes. I can go into Device Administrator and revoke McAfee's permission and then uninstall the app. Then I do a factory reset and it doesn't work. Every time the phone reboots it ends up right back where I started with none of my changes saved and the McAfee app back on it with its crazy security PIN prompts. It says something about NV files when it's trying to do a factory reset. Is that some sort of security file that restores it back to where I started?
How particular is this phone when it comes to cables? I don't have original HTC data cable.

Well, I've confirmed with Verizon that McAfee doesn't come pre-installed. I talked to HTC and they were stumped. The rep said that I could send it in for a new board to the tune of $230 USD. However, HTC is sending me a data cable. I did an online chat with McAfee tech support (and I use the term loosely) and they said they would have to escalate me to a senior technician.
When I try to wipe cache partition it says:
Mount SDCARD failed 1 times
Mount SDCARD failed 2 times
Mount SDCARD failed 3 times
Mount SDCARD failed 4 times
Mount SDCARD failed 5 times
Can not mount SD Card.(No such device)
Write host_mode:0 done
Here's what it says when I try to perform a hard reset.
--Wiping data...
Restore NV for Verizon. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Backup Data Preload
Backup CW Package
Restore Data Preload
Restore CW Package
Formatting /cache. . .
Data wipe complete.
Write host_mode:0 done
Does that look correct? Because it returns to right where I left it. Same junk is still on phone from previous owner.
I talked with Senior Technician from McAfee this morning. He asked me to put phone in safe mode to uninstall third party apps (theirs). The phone would not enter safe mode by holding power button on top and then long pressing power off option and selecting to restart in safe mode. He told me if it couldn't enter safe mode he couldn't help me and I would need to contact HTC (again).
So... I call HTC and speak with a rep about entering safe mode. He has me go into power setting and uncheck fastboot then power phone down and then restart but hold volume down key as soon as I see HTC logo on boot and release after it completes boot. Now it enters safe mode.
I deactivate admin rights for McAfee and uninstall app. I restart phone in normal mode - McAfee is back. I repeat but perform factory reset through settings this time - same problem. I repeat again but perform hard reset through factory recovery - nothing.
Still dead in the water.

I looked at this last night... the pone acts like it's write protected for every partition on the phone. No form of reset while s-on works. Phone won't s-off either because nothing you change on the phone persists after a reboot.

Wow that's crazy. I wonder if maybe they had it encrypted before they sold it to him and then did a reset which yielded the same results he keeps having. I don't know any other way the entire phone could be write protected unless it was encrypted or a script running on boot that causes it.

That didn't work, it weird because my phone is like the OPs phone. Except the phone will bootloop kinda like it will either load OS for like 5-20 sec and then reboot over and over or just straight bootloop. I get same results when trying to factory restore. Also if it does go to os for the 5-20 sec then like almost every app forecloses. I tried safe mode as well same situation. Also very weird is trying to use the rru and attempting to unlock bootloader. I managed after days of frustration to get it to fastbootusb but when I run rru it says Waiting for bootloader (I was already in fastbootusb) then it reboots the phone and goes to bootloop losing connection resulting in fail of umbrick. By the way it says like USB device unknown blah blah blah it malfunctioned. Then the same reboot situation happened when trying to unlock bootloader. Any ideas how to get this phone going?
