Hi guys, This come into our shop the customer had forgotten the screen lock password.
When I go into recovery to do a factory reset / wipe , it wont let me select it, it "jumps" past it when moving the bar up and down. The bar only moves if I "double click" the vol +/- , but it goes past factory reset.
Tried going in with SRS root but still no luck.
Any ideas?

Watch THIS video about this issue.
This is for CWM but it is the same issue with stock recovery.
Just use the volume up/down and even if the highlight doesn't change, hit the power button to choose the option you want.
Superb.
You were absolutely right, that worked perfectly.
Many thanks.
Hi all, I'm not an Xperia user, but Nexus, so sorry if I'm not knowing basic know-how for this device! My father I font now how inserted a pw in the device and now is not able to use the phone anymore... And the problem is mine!
I wanted to factory reset but all try I did were not sucessfull:
1) pw button+vol up not working
2) hw reset button 5sec not working
3) secret dial code not working
What else I can try before connect the phone to pc and try to reset with it? I don't want to read all the instruction for it, I don't know from where start because I'm totally new for this device...
Thanks for your help
Not sure if I remember that correctly, but there's a tiny red button next to the SIM card that should do a factory reset when pressed for more than five seconds.
Already tryied, but nothing, it just shut down the phone
Flash a stock ftf.
Hi All. I am trying to fix a phone that is stuck on the LG boot screen. I have tried to put the phone into recovery via the volume- and power buttons. I get to the screen that says delete all user data and I press yes and get to the second screen to reconfirm the delete. I press yes and nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next? I want to reset this phone for my friends son. I suspect he might have over heated it playng games. Thanks in advance.

Mine had this issue also
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?

Ive tried to remove the security settings, but it keeps asking my for the passcode,and loops though the code input, infinitely.

That's strange. Try to format using the recovery menu. Once the phone turns off, press and hold both the Power and Volume Down buttons, until the phone enters the Recovery Mode.
