[Q] Forgotten pattern and google username/pass

A friend of me has a galxy w and his cousin tried many times the pattern and now the phone is asking about google username and password which he doesn't remember it because he is using the account only for market. What can he do to bypass the pattern. He can not use the phone at all. He can only receive calls nothing else.

Stock ROM ?

Is there any way to factory reset from bootloader?

Turn on the phone while pressing volume up + home button + power button and hold these down till an icon appears. Then recovery will open and from there you can factory reset.

Ok i enter the recovery but it stays on the green android with box and then nothing the options for factory reset wont appear! Please help me!

Just hold these while turning on the phone, release the keys when the android with the box appear and a menu should appear. Volume up and down for moving in the menus and home button for selecting options. I don't know why the menu doesn't show up... Did you release those keys, or did you flash another recovery?

I dont know why but it just stays in android with the box, with no menu or options. I flashed another firmware but no recovery.

Than the recovery menu should open. I know a little tricky ^^.
There you should be able to wipe everything.

If you don't mind me saying so, that's a load of crap!!!
Either the phone has a Recovery or not, either Stock or Custom, if not, somehow the Recovery partition has been wiped....
Try again, you should be able to get into Recovery, where you can do Factory Reset....if you want!!
After all, this is your friends phone right????
And he or his cousin or you don't know pattern, or google password/username??
Yeah right....get up the yard!!!

I am trying to tell that the recovery doesnt work. It doesn't show the options to factory reset the phone. It only shows the green android with the box. When i press the menu button it says that it is updating a file and then it is rebooting automatically. I can not see any options or something. As i said, he only use the google account to download apps from market and he has forgotten the password of the google account.

Last hope try flash phone with odin...

But it is the same!

When you say it "updates" when you go into recovery do you 1) let go of power button when samsung logo first appears or 2) hold onto power button until the phone shows samsung logo, then goes blank and then let go of power when samsung logo appears second time? If 1 then hold onto power longer until you see the logo twice. If 2 then i dont know. But still...im sure that you should be able to skip the google setup...cant you?

Hold power button until you see the "galaxy s" sign (galaxy w or whatever phone...its the same...i just thought the s was a good example) and soon after you see that it should reboot. Keep hold of power. Then when the samsung logo appears let go but do not let go of home and volume up. Then when you see a android sign let go of the buttons and press menu. It should be recovery.

Bricked: Phone goes to Android recovery mode (3e) instead of Download Mode

My phone seems to shut off after reaching and loading the DarkSide splash screen. I've tried to get it into Download mode but it goes into Recovery instead. What can I do? Also, odin doesn't recognize it in recovery mode.

You wont be needing unless you want to return the phone completely back to stock, or if you screw-up so badly that CWR no longer works for you this is a good safety net to go back to stock.

u should force recovery mode , by holding vol up + home +power till u see the splash screen with the yellow triangle, as soon as u see it , u must release the buttons immediatley ,
then wipe data/factory reset in recovery and wipe cache
then reboot
if this doesn't work then get Odin3 v1.85 and download siyah kernel from here :http://www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.3.3d.tar
and flash it using Odin3 by putting ur phone in download mode (hold vol down+ home +power ) then connect to pc and start odin3 click on PDA and select the . tar file u downloaded
then download a rom.zip from the android devolopment forum and put it into ur external SD card , then go to recovery and install zip from sdcard and choose the rom u downloaded then flash it via recovery and finally reboot

SM-T211 stuck at samsung Logo
hello all guru.. I just trying to root my Tab 3 SM-T211.. process was successful at Odin page but when tablet restart it was stuck at samsung logo . Unabale to enter recovery mode except download mode. Kindly assist...cracking my head tonite as internet connection also slow...:crying:

Since SMT210 and SMT211 uses same boot loader? I think I can post my brick problem here, my device shows EMEI as device name, and manufacturer is Marvell. It is Dead boot no response to anything, odin, charger, download mode, nothing... I think the bootload is corrupt does someone has a "unbrick sd image". ..

Stuck at "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing", can't boot into download mode.

Stuck at "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing", can't boot into download mode.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S SM-T700.
Was following "Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 TWRP Recovery install super easy" on youtube trying to get TWRP installed. Flashify was giving an error, so I used the official TWRP app. I then rebooted into recovery, but now it just gets stuck at the Samsung boot screen with "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." I tried volume down + home + power and volume up + home + power, but they just boot back to here. I found some guides online that said they can fix the issue, but they seem to require booting into download mode which I can't do.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

While holding down volume +and volume - and power button and plugging in a USB cable then when you see the battery logo then power volume -and the home button this should get you in to download mode but don't have the USB pluged in to a laptop only in to a charger......

Thanks for the reply - I tried that button combo while plugged into a wall charger and it does the same thing, immediately boots into this:

The only thing that I can recommend is remove the back cover and pull the battery plug for a second it look like you have flashed the wrong bootloader in Oden dose it have custom recovery or stock

Doesn't matter what state the device is in now simply hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the tablet restarts and DOWNLOAD mode appears.
Please don't post back saying this does not work as I guarantee it does if you do it correctly.
You have only flashed the wrong recovery there is no reason why you can't boot to Download mode.
Once in download mode flash the correct twrp or firmware.

Incorrect on both accounts.
I've recovered many devices and have bricked god knows how many times while developing.
If the device boots it's not bricked and considering he can boot to the Samsung logo the the bootloader is intact and thus download mode.

The only reason it's not going to download mode is because he's not timing the button combo right.
You can't permanently brick a Samsung device by simply flashing the wrong recovery.
If it boots it's not bricked that's all there is to it.

There is no timing to it is just pushing three buttons at the same time.....
You have to kill the boot loop by pushing power and volume up and down then put the USB cable in from the charger then the battery charging icon comes up......then you push power and volume down and home button to get you in to download mode......if this doesn't work then it is bricked

See you're incorrect again, you don't need to do any of that.
It does not matter whether it's boot looping, stuck on boot logo, in recovery or booted to android, you can hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN at ANYTIME for long enough and it will reboot to download mode.
Would you like me to purposely brick one of my devices to prove it? I'll do exactly what the OP has done and post the video. I[emoji55]
