Will a factory reset reset password unlock? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

ok my poor x girlfriend's 13 year old son had a heart attack now he in a coma.. so sad 13 years old i dont get it?? well its not looking good at all they are taking him off the machine that helps him breath tomarrow... she got him a tmobile gs3 for xmas.. and she wants to go in his phone.. but he has that pass code to unlock screen if i factory reset it in stock recovery will that un do it? i feel so bad for her she lost the father of her son to drugs he od.. now this thanks

I'm having a hard time believing this story. For all we know, your a thirteen year old kid who has found/stolen an s3 that has a pass code on it and trying to find a way to use the phone.
Whether your story is true or not, there's only one way to find out if doing a factory reset from the stock recovery will work, right?

bro im 32 year old man and would NEVER make up a story like that..

I can kinda see where his skepticism is coming from tbh. I know Ive had a few occasions where someone one would try to get help with something questionable by telling me some crazy, hardly believable story (some pretty out there too!).
Most times folks will just post their question and explain later if asked, so when we see a story like yours it does cause some to wonder about the legitimacy. Call it being gun shy I guess, but we just don't want to see the knowledge we share be used for immoral, illegal, or malicious purposes. (Yes, people do try to "trick" us, on occasion).
Considering your level of activity on xda, it does make it easier to trust you though. But try to understand that when you say you would never make up a story like that, there are plenty who would, and all we have to differentiate and decide is your username and our intuition!
And since you'd figure it out eventually anyway, yes a factory reset, from stock recovery, will reset the device to an oob state, including any passwords and other security measures. It'll also wipe internal sdcard where pictures and other personally important data are often stored.
Sorry to hear about all of that btw. Will keep you in our prayers. Take care.

Hi
I don't know why you would post about a personal death but yes when you factory reset and go back to stock it erases all of your current data.

Like I said, your story may or may not be true. Your post seems like some kid wrote it. Seriously, a 32 year old calling people on the internet "bro".
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

To be fair, lots of people on xda, older and younger, use "bro".
And I agree with the questioning of posting about any personal tragedy, as I have seen people use it as a cover of sorts or to entice an answer by tugging on the heart strings, but I have also seen people legitimately post these things, both as an outlet, and in anticipation of being asked why they are trying to do a certain thing.
I'm not making a call here either way as there really is no way to know. But it would be more suspicious to me if it were from a day old account with only one post.
I'm not trying to argue, defend or attack any of you btw. Just felt it was a point worth mentioning is all.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine...
There are never any words good enough.
I know it's probably not the time to work on it but when you are ready to, there are a few threads I've seen here on xda that can help you bypass that lock. Not sure how intensive they are but they are there. In case you want to try and save any pictures or something...

[Q] spy apps/software??

I know similar questions have been asked before and information won't be easy to obtain from anyone regarding this but I know so many poeple have the knowledge to answer. I obviously don't want to use a subscription service but here is my dilemma.
Yes I am trying to spy, however I own both devices and pay for the entire bill just granting the phone for use as is to my current girlfriend, I'm not accusing her of cheating however she is hiding something and its all within the texts she deletes, those texts are transmitted to and from the device I allow her to use, just looking for any options I have aside from shelling out hundreds or thousands on something that can be easily accomplished, however if the information is sensitive I don't want it uploaded to the web, just more of a forward type of thing I suppose but definately hidden from her view, she isn't tech savvy, but our evos are both rooted and custom Rom etc. If anyone could help me with this, that would be super. App / software / source / service doesn't matter to me.
cool story bro, get a new girlfriend and leave the spying to the spy's. if you do not trust her, let her go.

If you have access to the gmail account that is used with the phone you could install Google Voice. I noticed the other day that it saves a copy of my texts even though I had flashed multiple Roms since.

Hit the nail on the head. If you know she is cheating get rid of her. Why would you want to put yourself through that BS only to get mad at her for something you already know. Once a cheat always a cheat. What are you going to do anyways after you confirm and confront?

Could he? He does own the phones and the contract is in his name. Should be able to do whatever he wants with the phone he's "lent" out, right?
A buddy of mine suspected his wife was cheating and she wouldn't admit to it. He decided to sift through her emails. He found she was, had proof, divorced her and is now happily married to a faithful woman. Just sayin.....had he not done that he would be far worse off. There's definately better ways to do it.....but every relationship and every person is different right?
That's weird, I thought he was asking for help with finding an app. Guess I missed the part where he asked for a bunch of relationship advice....

Niiiiice point, so here is a thought don't ask the waitress a dumb question and hey here is another thought take some time to research. There are still rules and guidelines in xda in reference to asking questions. I dont want to be that guy but the reason you have to skim through 600 pages is because 400 of those pages have the same question asked over and over. Of course filled with people like me telling them to search....Lol
I have no prob helping a so called noob but really have you seen some of the stuff ppl ask...

ETA questions are impossible to answer. The dev can say he is going to release an update tomorrow and then if he has to make any last minute changes, it looks like he isn't keeping his word and people start going nuts on the thread.

Rooting Service

I figure to keep people from posting threads after threads saying "please help I bricked my epic" I figured it be easier to have someone do it for them. Since I have plenty of time I figured I do this. If you would like me to root your device simply pm and I will give you instructions on how I will remotely control your pc (if I do it remotely then make sure you have a nonstock usb cable for example a blackberry micro usb) or you can send it to me. If you send via ups etc then you'll be paying for back and forth.*Disclaimer*if anything happens which more than likely WON'T its not my fault BUT will try my best to fix it.
I doubt this will take off but why not put it out there.

Not a bad idea... in my opinion if you can't figure out how to root it you don't need it rooted though. The rooting methods are easy enough and qbking has made some easy to follow videos for everybody... my 12 year old niece rooted her epic following the video and she is no techie in any way! If she can do it everybody can! Not a hit to you though. I commend your efforts!

While I applaud the objective of your kind motives, I have to say that if someone can't root their phone on their own, they don't need it rooted. You have to be able to troubleshoot to fix problems, which requires an understanding of what is happening on your device.

Id say thats noble, but i agree that if you can't learn to root it yourself then you don't really understand the gravity of what root access is capable of.
Second, if I send you my phone, and you root it, flash CWM and brick it them I'm SOL... And if it works before you touch it, but not after, then it would totally be your fault. You may not be liable, but your hands make it your fault.
anyhow cool idea, maybe find a way to guarantee or insure your work and i bet people would pay 10 or 20 bucks for rooting.

Ok my wife is Done with her GN

Her phone will not stay connected on a call for more than 5 minutes at a time. It constantly goes into Airplane mode, and she randomly has data drops.
I've put her on AOKP 4, Liquid smooth & Android Rev HD 3.0, with Stock & Franco #2 milestone. NOTHING WORKS.
It sucks because I have no problems with mine, other than a bit of lag here and there (which may have been fixed with the Trinity Kernel).
So shes done. Already up and purchased an HTC one S. I really want her to stay in the GN but I think its just left a bad taste in her mouth.
I'm just really trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with her phone.
I haven't tried the newest 4.0.4 that was released a few days ago, but I honestly doubt its gonna do anything. Suggestions???
Stock anybody? All the way stock with ugla4 or uglc1 radio? Trying to force roms perpetually in progress is a bad idea and your desire to force customization on her left her with a bad phone.
teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
It's probably defective, especially if you've tried the plethora of software options that people are likely to suggest. Careful buying things out of frustration, though, especially things that are brand new to the market. The One S is not immune to QC defects and such. For instace:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...phones-one-day-does-htc-have-qc-problems.html
Get her GNex replaced. Or let her just go with the One S, I'm sure it's a solid phone. There are tradeoffs that she may or may not care about when one decides to use a non-Nexus phone. Just make sure she knows.
Why would you buy your wife a Galaxy Nexus and unlock it? I'm going to assume she's not Android savy or knows what you're doing, but seriously a bad idea just asking for trouble.
Just saying.
Also, that's a hard issue.
Let her keep the One S and keep it Stock. Its a good UX and won't break on her. Personally, I wouldn't recommend a Nexus phone to someone such as your wife.

He may have unlocked it just to try some different solutions to fix or alleviate the problems they were having.
But yeah, I think the more appropriate thing to have done is just take it back and get a new one. You paid for a working phone, don't ever hesitate to keep taking it back until you get one that works as it should!
I have heard that several people with that problem have had their GN replaced and fixed the problem. When I got mine, the verizon rep specifically told
me that if I had that problem to bring it back to get replaced. I think they had a bad batch of phones....

Did you try just ... stock? If that's doesn't work, then it is clearly a hardware issue.
Normal users should use stock IMHO. It's can be frustrating hobby otherwise

That's like the first rule about "mod-club" never mod your friends phone, unless you want to trade him yours when his/hers brakes.

Go for it, no copyrights, trademarks or patents on it. Might want to double check with apple though. Lol.

Like what others said just flash stock 4.0.4 for your wife and leave modding to your phone. I'm running stock and it's fast and stable.

Sneak a root and turn off super user global notifications. Just like horse back riding without a saddle.

Stock ICS is just so damn good too. Shes not gonna be getting a bad experience.

Anyone else see this?

I just followed link and found this going on in another Rom development. The fifth post is the one you want to check out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33673632
I'm not saying anything, just posting what i found.

Oh yea lol I haven't flashed anything that hasn't been deemed official for fear of messing up my device for this same reason. I suggest you all do the same or be prepared for the worst.

Agreed, I always thought his posts were so similar but avoided passing judgment without knowing, but that screenshot proves it. It wouldn't be so bad if he would just own up to it instead of lying.

No one here wants him to quit developing.. But we want him test his roms himself and only build them if he owns the device.. And I'm sure the Devs here would appreciate it if he wouldn't pull things out of their roms and use it without permission

Speak for yourself. I'd love it if our dev section didn't have any garbage that bricks peoples phones. This guy's been on a roll for a while. Honestly I'd love it if he'd stop dev'ing it'd save people a lot of time.

+ a googleplex, this guy wants recognition without putting in work or recognizing anybody else's. He needs to stop pestering us and go get some psychological help.
So anyone know what happened to his "illusuon" ROM post? I was waiting for a mod but went to bed and when I woke up it was gone. I'm guessing he deleted it to avoid the ban hammer that was coming.
I was looking for it too. I think it should have been up so everybody can see it. It was a.nicr entertainmemt for a chance lol Lets just hope that he doesnt come back with another name.
