Oh crap! Friend fiddled with phone now password is on and I don't know it.

Hello all, I beg thee if you can help me, my friend "stole" my xda orbit while I was erm drunk and changed a load of settings, inc adding a password. When I was sober he told me what it was so I could use the phone again. But last night I accidently wanted to change the 4 digit number code that you do when the phone goes inactive for like 1 minute...Instead I think I accidently activated some password...everytime I go to restart the xda I get grilled for a password and if its wrong the time counter keeps going up and up...
Basically I really either need to crack or deactivate this password or some how backup my txts and phone...as I didn't before and theres a few sentimental texts I don't want to lose...
I hope you can help me

i think you might be stuck unless you can figure out the passcode!
i dont think it lets you sync your phone at all does it?

no sync
no asks for a password before sync-ing wondered if there was an alternative to activesync that would work??

was about bootloader mode, if you can go in you would be able to flash a (new) rom.....

errr right
you've lost me, last time I did rom flashing was on a very old XDA and ive forgtten..help!?!

You just have to go to WM6 artemis part of the forum, read the topics about "how to flash" and use the last wm6 rom B&B v3.7.
Before that, ensure bootloader mode is available.
Good luck

huh
1 I don't know how to know if bootloader mode is available
2 I think im on WM5!?

If it is a UK model then he can flash it back to the original ROM using the microSD card first if it will not connect by USB cable.

Yes its an 02 XDA Orbit and I live in the uk and it is a UK phone...so I guess I can but how the hell!? lol Thankyou by the way you may have saved me!

As it seems no backup was done, what about trying to ask a repair center if they can "unlock" the password. Of course you will have to show to purchase invoice ....

Thanks, that will be my alternative if the rom flash doesnt work...just need to be told how to do it via micro sd!!!!

I will PM you about the file you need as all references to it seem to have been removed from the site.
You then put the file onto an empty microSD card and put the card into the phone.
When you turn on the phone ho hold in the 'record' button (top left hand side viewed from the front of the phone) and the phone should go into boot-loader mode and recover the OS from the microSD card.

Does it matter if anything else is on the SD card?
Do I need to update to a newer WM5 Rom after as I think i saw that 02 1 is a bit old??

Sorry, but doesnt a hard reset solves this problem?? (if the lock is on the phone) sipmle and quick solution.
If it is the sim that is locked, contact you provider.

Considering flashing the ROM is deffinately going to wipe any saved texts etc. Surely a simpler option is a hard reset?
Press and hold both soft-keys, press the stylus into the reset hole, release reset, wait for message on screen and release soft-keys.
This will return the phone to out-of the -factory state, so again you will loose all saved data in system memory and all installed applications in system memory.

Not quite. Flashing the ROM will erase your "sentimental" messages.

Yes, but it is looking like he is going to lose them no matter what happens.

Just Hard Reset it....Wont ask for the password...you will loose your data on the device though....and if your data is on the PC can sync again...no issue there...but the service centers will not remove the password...I had the same issue...and thats what i did.
cheers

yeah all you have to do is hard reset the pda and then the password will be erased, along with all your data ofc.
It would be interesting though to find a way to "crack" the password or somehow remove or bypass it.....

like some kind of PUK code?

Shouldn't happen, rooting the phone should not cause this problem. I havr rooted my phone many times but it's still working fine. Which method of root did you use and for which firmware?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた

1. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data. Shut down the phone
2. Change baseband with flashtool
3. Power on the phone
Report if it worked please

It isn't something related to rooting I think,maybe u can try out the following-
1.Check after removing sim for 15 mins and inserting it agn Properly inside.
2.If u have a stock rom backup,restore it and try.Check whether your phone is showing your IMEI number or not.Sometimes modem/radio files get wiped out.
3.Could be a hardware issue.Maybe your SIM tray is damaged - either one or more of the contact 'ribbons' is damaged.Check whether or not u can save numbers to your sim card.
4.Take it to your carrier's repair centre.

I need some serious help!!

Ok I just got tmobile US galaxy note 2 unlock so I can use it on AT&T. Before I rooted the phone, everything worked. I could make calls text and use google play.
But after rooting and flashing paranoidandriod 3.10, I don't have signal, it wont read sim card and google play won't work as in it goes into "unfortunately google play has stopped" crap. Same thing with Goo manager. I tried the suggestion for those apps and nothing worked. So then, I've been on this board trying to find the right answer. To make things worst, I then flashed MyRom Revolution still no signal or won't read sim card however google play works. Now I'm trying to go back to stock and that seems to be a challenge since twrp won't flash it. I was able to flash it back to stock but still won't read sim card and the imei shows null/null. this is just a bad day. Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong? This has just been a bad experience.

anyone want to tackle this?

Do you have an efs partition backup?
Your messed your efs partition up, there was a thread on how to fix it, I'm at work and can't search well though so you'll have to find it.

I did that too and my phone won't recognize it. I'm just going to send it back to samsumg

I just sent it back to Samsung. Hopefully I'll get a replacement or they will fix it.

[Q] Network problem

I have network problems, i have the correct imei, serial number and baseband but in the phone status says "network unknown"i don't have an efs backup, and my actual efs folder doesn't have any of the nv files, another thing is that the phone has signal bars even without the sim card, i have done a lot of factory resets, flashes thru odin but nothing works, can anybody help me to solve my issue please? Sorry if my english isn't good since is not my native language...thanks in advance

Wrong modem.

Thanks for your reply but I don't think that is a modem problem because I've flashed all the possible modems and still the same way, another thing is that I entered to the secret menu and did a erase of efs 1 2 3 or something, is there a way to recover or fix that problem? Please help me I am desperate

if you erased your "efs", your phone is toast

So there isn't any way to restore it?

well, I assume you made a back up of everything before you started flashing and installing all sorts of files on your phone...

Help: unlockable / no signal Galaxy fame lite

Dear friends,
I have a Samsung galaxy fame lite GT-S6790L, android 4.1.2 Jellybean, wich is network locked.
- First I rooted it with king-root, then I have installed 'Regionlock away' on it, didnt help for unlocking, and the phone shows "Not registered on network" when calling, or it is impossible to register on any network at all.
Later the phone was flashed with a Stock ROM without carrier logos.
Then, I waited for the subsidy code from my carrier, wich I have now.
Problem is:
- now, when I insert a SIM card from a diferent carrier, the SIMLOCK menu doesn't prompt (wich actually was prompting before I messed things up).
- the codes for bringing the simlock menu up, do not seem to work, in fact when I dial the codes nothing happens (the phone doesn`t react at the codes);
- what i have tried so far, and nothing happens:
*#7465625#
#7465625#
*#7465625*638*#
#7465625*638*#
*#7465625*638*{CODE}# ; also tried variants that I found for Jellybean *#7465625638#,
*#197328640#
*#0011# , brings a service mode menu, but it is unlockable, I have tried "menu + Back"; "menu Key Input + 1" (also Q, and 0000). Nothing seems to help.
*#06# do gives me the IMEI number, wich is correct according to that one labeled on the back of the phone.
The phone was also flashed with Odin with the Stock Rom of the original carrier, and it didnt help either.
I've exhausted all my possibilities as a rookie.
What I am missing? is there a solution?
Thanks in advance

anybody ?
please?
im still stuck with my phone

Hi faizauthar12, thanks for the reply, but I do not quite understand what your asking me, so I will answer by guess.
I flashed this firmware using Odin 3 (without messing with the options, and only did the full wipes with the stock recovery before and after flashing the PDA file S6790LUBAMK2_S6790LUUBAMK1_S6790LUBAMK2__HOME.tar.md5)
Stock firmware info:

Also I flashed others from different regions than ARO.
If you are telling me to use another procedure called "flash firmware" that I have confused with the Odin procedure.... Im in the dark, and got to say that I do not have the knowledge.

Yep
It's called flash firmware
First make sure the firmware it's for ur region,or follow where ur phone made (behind the battery,u need to pulled out the battery)
Adter that ,try to use nand erase all,it will erase everyting at ur phone ,so make a backup
If u got bootloop ,go to recovery ,wipe data ..
Good luck ,inform me again

Hi faizauthar12,
sorry for the delay, I managed to make a backup after installing the CWM.
Later I have flashed the firmware with the Nand erase all option activated, it Pass OK, got the bootloop fixed,
but it didnt fix the problem of the simlocks and the secret menus.
It is so strange cause the Nand erase all should erase all indeed.
I put the Sim card to verify and the phone gets signal and receive empty info messages of all the operators and even receive messages without a Simcard in it (I dont know why because I did not tried to register in any of them yet),
Also, when i try to make a call, it says "not registered in network". Tried to register in the network but phone never does it, and fails.
can i do anything else before quit?
Thanks for your help

anybody with any suggestions?

a Quick update,
I took the cellphone to a service, they flashed it with a box, and all.
It didn't make any difference, the phone does not register in the network, and stays in "no service".
thanks anyway guys.
