Hi,
I have a telus galaxy SII X and my kids play on it and changed the screen password. I am not able to get in, I have tried to use ODIN and re-flash the default telus ROM SGH-T989D_TLS_T989DTLKJ3, but it always comes up with the screen password.
Is there a way to completely wipe it as I am not able to get into the phone. Any suggestions how I could bypass the password and if not I am willing to competely wipe/reset it to factory default.
You may want to get into recovery mode and wipe the device.

I'm a bit baffled because ODIN completely re-writes all of the firmware and software. There should be no way that it persists through ODIN. Now, the only suggestion I can offer would be to wipe your SD-card, do a factory data reset in CWM and then ODIN again. If that doesn't work then there is something seriously screwed up because that will mean that you have wiped literally all the memory on the phone.
Thanks, I will give your suggestion a try and will post back the result.
Flash original odin, then update odin...

any results?
This board would be so much better if people would post results after attempting to fix their devices.

Pretty sure this dude stole this phone.
His kids changed the passcode, really?
First of all I appologise for the delay in responding.
I find it insulting that someone would say i stole the phone without any cause. I had grave shift work and did not get round to trying out the suggested fixes.
No it does not work for me. I am new to this, I have been using ODIN3 v1.85 and it sees the phone no problem, i use the PDA option to push the reovery.tar, which successfully does it stuff and reboots the phone and takes me back to the login screen. After this I do not know what to do, I press the power and volume down button and it takes me to the download ODIN screen again, but i do not see any options to install rom.
I read somewhere that after flashing the recovery.tar, I need to flash the clockworkmod.tar to get the option to install rom. This is the part that does not work for me, if I use ODIN3 v1.85 to flash the phone gives me firmware mismatch error, connect to Kies to recover firmware. I have to flash the recovery.tar to get rid of the firmware error message.
I also tried to use another ODIN multi downloader v4.28, but this one does not even see the phone.

Hi. Use my guide to flash the stock telus rom which is listed in my thread. Don't worry about the rooting part. Just follow the part where it shows you how to flash back the stock Telus rom with odin (Telus Goodies). PM me if you need help.
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
I want to thank everyone who provided very useful help especially blue1k, the guide was awesome, really great for a new guy like me. I guess the whole problem was that I didn't know the difference between download and recovery mode. Most of the information on the net shows you how to get to download mode, but not how to get to recovery mode, especially the key combo needed to get there.
I finally got into recovery mode using the guide and reset/clean cache and then used ODIN to flash the telus ROM and it worked.
Once again, I would like to thank members of this forum, you guys are truly very talented; I had been very frustrated for over 3 weeks googling and just could not find clear cut instructions.
Again, sorry for posting so late, I know it can be frustrating giving advice but not getting any timely feedback or no feedback at all.

That's what I thought too and I reset my password before that way.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I really appreciate the help from this forum members, I didn't know that you could reset the password via email, after multiple failed attempts, it would lock me out for serveral mins. Anyway, I had a very positive experience on this forum, and this method (ODIN) has given me the confidence to try out customised ROMs etc
First of all, I'd like to apologize if I'm breaking any forum rules. I just hastily made this account because I did something stupid and I need your help.
I rooted my Nexus 7 a few days ago, and it all went well. While looking through root apps on the Play store today, I found a font switcher. It looked alright, so I figured I'd download it. I picked out a font, hit install, and the device rebooted as I would expect. It showed the Google logo, as well as the padlock icon, and then went to the "X" as per usual. However, it stayed on that screen for quite a while and would not start up. The bootloader menu still works, but I can't really do much with it. I'm afraid I had USB debugging turned off as well. Please help, I don't have a clue what to do and I don't want to have it permanently bricked less than a month after buying it. Thank you in advance.
P.S. You'll have to explain the terms to me, rooting is sort of a new area for me.
Factory reset ?

I wouldn't mind doing it, but I can't as I can only access the bootloader menu and I don't have any recovery programs installed.
I'm not very familiar with stock recovery (assuming that's what you have. I've never seen the stock recovery since I wiped stock off my tab as soon as I could). But doesn't it have a factory reset option ? (I thought I saw that on my old N7 when it was still on stock form)
Edit: you can get to stock recovery from the bootloader menu. Just use volume up/down to rotate thru menu options and hit power to select.

I tried entering recovery mode and I got an error icon, then after a while it just rebooted.
Is your tab OK now ?
Don't worry too much, it's very difficult to "brick" a N7.
You may look at this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107
It's easy to do many things.
The hardest part would be to get your PC to fully recornize your tab (which you're there, since you rooted the tab).
If you don't mind losing data, you can just flash stock back from fastboot. If you want to try factory resetting, you can flash a recovery image from fastboot, then reset from there. Fastboot is done from the bootloader.

Yes, it's fixed. I found a recovery tool in WugFresh's toolbox.
Hello all. I am new to this, so please bare with me and understand I am just looking for help and not a hard time. I have an ATT Note 2, which I had rooted with Cyanogenmod (I believe 10.2). It was very easy with the helpful installer that is supplied, so easy even I could do it. However, shorty after running that mod, I realized why I had the Note 2 to begin with, the S Pen! Long story short, I did what I could to get the original Touchwiz/stock rom back.
I did NOT create a back up, which was where my problem starts. Now to remedy my problem, I had to find a stock rom through this site and other means. I don't remember what rom I actually used because it was on a previous PC I was using. But, I was able to go from Cyanogenmod back to Touchwiz. Thank god! Problem gets worse. I was on vacation, and all of a sudden I recieved an OTA update. Like I said, I was on vacation, not paying attention, the update started and was in progress when I started thinking, oh ****, I wonder if there is going to be a problem. Yep, there was a problem...
After the update installed, on reboot, the phone was stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I tried recover mode, no go. I tried recovery mode multiple times, no go. DAMN! No phone on a road trip is horrific! So when it wasn't my turn to drive, I attempted to flash stock roms back onto my phone as I originally did, via Odin, and same deal. I CAN find roms that will "succeed" in Odin, and on reboot, gets stuck on the same screen.
Out of frustration, I have tired other roms, some succeed, some fail. When they succeed, all have the same result, back to the same screen I previously described. However, when they fail, they bring me the the "firmware update" screen(sorry if I can't describe that screen better, but its the screen that suggests using Kies to fix the problem and update firmware. I have searched about as much as I can handle online and in forums about how to fix this. I have tried every approach. Different roms, I have tried the Kies method (which has attempted to work), however when its completed updating on Kies the phone says "unsupported version", which leads me to believe I am stuck half way in Root and half way stock.... or something, remember, I am no pro at this.
My phone isn't damaged, although I am not sure if the happenings have stressed the internals enough to fry anything. All I know is that its frustrating and would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered. I halfway thought about that $40 service that remotes your PC and will root your phone for you, but had a moment of clarity and decided a bunk phone and virus infected laptop wouldn't make anything better.
So in ending, be gentle, but please, give me any way I can fix my phone, whether it be back to stock or rooted, either way. Thanks

First off stay away from 4.3 lol. Anyways to get back to take ota you need to get chainfire autoroot and run in Odin, run triangle away, full unroot in super user. Reboot.
Check status if still says modified go into recovery pwr+vol up+home button and do reset.
You should be good to go. Good luck.
Earlier this evening, after texting a friend, my phone rebooted itself.
It appears to be in a boot loop. It will only reboot into rebooting. Never loads Android. I pulled the battery, let it sit for a few minutes, and tried again with no results.
I've not done modding to the phone (mainly because its locked), and will be returning it to my local AT&T store tomorrow. Thankfully I have insurance on my phone, so I shouldn't have an issue getting a new one.
Anybody else had this issue, however? It's really strange.

Read a guide on flashing back to stock. Use ODiN and flash the stock file of your choice in the ATT note 4 forum from Download mode. Google how to boot into download mode. Hold those buttons until phone powers off then keep holding until you see download mode. You will need to install samsung drivers and for ODiN on Windows go to Devices coms and ports and change port to 3 in advanced tab.

I have had my share of boot looping experiences, never from not doing any type of experiments with my devices. nonetheless myself and I'm sure many other people just do what was mentioned in the quote to alleviate that problem.
i know you (OP) mentioned you don't plan on doing any flashing, but i would do that before using insurance personally, even if there was no deductible

This process is not dangerous if your phone is in a bootloop. Hell AT&T or whatever carrier probably does this themselves if a phone is in this kind of situation. If not rooted or any mods you will still have OTA updates. If you are worried about carrier recognizing if you modded it or something and they wont take it back dont worry just flash it using ODiN. I've rooted many devices hacked compiled roms flashed them and kernels s-offed etc. You can always get back to stock remove flags and your carrier will take it back no matter what just dont return a device with the actual mods on it.
Why not just try to reset the device from the recovery menu? If it's a stock phone it should fix the bootloop.

It won't fix what sounds like a missing or corrupted boot file, had to deal with it on a LG g3.. restoring a full back up or a plain reset had no effect.. it was either doing a full flash or flashing the boot files
for that phone it would randomly happen when the OTA tried to upgrade the device while it was rooted, took me 3 times of dealing with it before I realized OTA was still live
Small update. My local AT&T store has a replacement being sent to me. I'm unhappy, however, since its apparently a refurbished device. I pay for insurance that covers a new device if something, anything, happens. They're refusing to send me a new one for some reason that they won't explicitly state to me.
My loyalty with AT&T has wavered, and I will probably be on another network in coming months. I'm thinking Sprint so that I can least have an unlocked Note 4.
Regardless, since this device is being sent back, I decided to try and Odin flash it anyways. It did not work. Still boot loops at the Note 4/Android screen. Doesn't even load the AT&T logo. I'm fairly certain something is fundamentally broken with the device. Probably a factory error. It's never been dropped, and has been inside a hard case since day one.
Being that it is a manufacturing error, I'm not to angry about that. These things do happen. AT&T's treatment of me, however, is just unacceptable. I've been a customer for about eight years, and have been on Android since the Motorola Backflip. I upgraded to a Samsung Captivate and never looked at another manufacturor.
Are you able boot to the recovery menu?

Hey guys,
So today, I got a notification saying to update to 5.1 for my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge. There was a error so I plugged it into my computer and used the Smart Switch app they recommended to install the update to my phone. After Smart Switch downloaded the update and installed it onto my phone, my phone is now stuck at the first bootup screen where is just says "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, powered by Android"!! I don't know what to do now....I tried downloading the official 5.0.2 ROM for T-Mobile and flashing it using Odin 10.6 but it gives me a NAND Write Start FAIL! every time...I've been reading up on this forum for a couple hours now but my eyes have completely tired out. Was hoping I could get some suggestions/insight on what I might do. I believe there is ONE option which is to type the model # + serial # into the Smart Switch program which factory resets my phone but I was hoping to avoid that since I forgot to back up my photos recently (stupid I know..) Anyways, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to look into finding the official Odin package (it is likely that only the 5.1.1, or "OF6" version will work now) for your device, and using Odin to restore your phone to the correct firmware version.
One of the places you an get it is from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48252/G925TUVU2COF6_G925TTMB2COF6_TMB/
But there are alternatives/mirrors around here somewhere that might work better. Good luck.

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. Are you sure your device is the G925T ? To be absolutely certain, you can look on the back of the device, in fine print, it should show the model number (SM-G925T is technically the full model#).
Otherwise, there's some reports around here of this (or similar) problem when they've had their phone carrier-unlocked or otherwise have done anything with their IMEI stuffs in any fashion. I would browse through the forums here to see if there's a good solution. I'm not a good source for "that side of things."
Edit: You might look into this thread or, for another possible fix, this thread.
I can't vouch for the authenticity or safety of flashing anything but official stock firmware, but it sounds like the 2nd link is working for some.
Flash twice in download mode.
After first flash do not let phone reboot.
When phone starts to start up do button combination vol down, power & home button.

This is good advice. To elaborate, there's two ways to achieve this:
1) Uncheck the "Auto Reboot" option in Odin. It might be greyed out, in which case you can edit your .ini file to achieve the same. Once the stock package is completely finished flashing, you can manually reboot straight into download mode by holding down the buttons until it comes back on into download mode.
2) If you're quick enough, the "easier" way is to wait until the Odin flash is complete, and immediately upon its auto-reboot (goes to black screen on the device), hold down the buttons to force it into download mode.
And then, in either case, flash the package again. It should be taking a few minutes to flash - it's huge. Particularly the SYSTEM partition, which is over 3.5gb.

2) If you're quick enough, the "easier" way is to wait until the Odin flash is complete, and immediately upon its auto-reboot (goes to black screen on the device), hold down the buttons to force it into download mode.
And then, in either case, flash the package again. It should be taking a few minutes to flash - it's huge. Particularly the SYSTEM partition, which is over 3.5gb.

Well, the second link you posted in a previous post worked!! Thanks!!
Sadly, I wiped the data/factory reset once since it was suggested and I lost all my photos...(sigh) I imagine that there's no way of just getting those back?
Diskdigger, Google for free apk.
Or buy in playstore.

Should of installed Google Photos app does automatic backups and has unlimited storage.

Google is very invasive with your system, the cloud storage that came pre-installed works great or Dropbox even better.

Not sure what your getting at being invasive.. Dropbox doesn't offer unlimited, and didn't even know there was a stock cloud storage app from Samsung pre installed, guessing though that's not unlimited either.

You get yours unlocked? I know people were having that issue when they got theirs unlocked

This is good advice. To elaborate, there's two ways to achieve this:
1) Uncheck the "Auto Reboot" option in Odin. It might be greyed out, in which case you can edit your .ini file to achieve the same.

Hey AOU,
I ran into this issue again recently after I tried to factory reset my phone.
It got stuck on the Galaxy S6 Edge screen.
I was going to use the second link like I did before but it seems like the megaupload file isn't available anymore...Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
