I was stupid. I was screwing with my phone and I set the lock pattern and didn't pay attention. Now it's locked and I can't get into it.
I've got one of the newer Vibrants, which does not go into download or recovery mode through the physical buttons.
I've done a lot of research and there are several methods out there but nothing so far that will work for me.
I'm not able to log in to my google account. It's not working. I've tried wi-fi and 3G. It's just not working.
Please help. I'm totally stuck right now.
Isn't there a way to do a physical reset somehow???
Are you rooted?
Crapped from my sexy vibrant.
How do we know this isn't a stolen phone?
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
Yeah that sounds weird considering you have to repeat the pattern 2 times not once.

Making the same mistake twice... Sounds more of a stolen phone to me.
Yup. Phone is ganked. Report him.

I think he deserves the phone he took the effort to steel it. That's a felony I don't see any of you risking the free life.

Here is how to fix if the phone is really yours.
You have to know your gmail user/password.
If stolen you will still be locked out
If you try entering the incorrect pattern five times you will see a screen where there will be a place to click for people who forgot their unlock pattern. It will ask you to enter your gmail user name and password. then will ask you to set a new unlock pattern and you will be fine
Edit
Missed the part were you said you dont know your google account...obviously stolen
Don't think just because he made a mistake with the code that the phone's stolen. I once set the passcode on my iPhone wrong even though I had to repeat it to set it, and I had to plug it into iTunes and restore to get back in.
If you can't get into your Google Account, OP, click forgot your password on the Google Account page (on your computer) and reset it.
Can you not get to download thro odin?

It's NOT stolen.
Hello everyone.
First let me say, this phone IS NOT stolen. I enabled the pattern thingy without really paying attention. I was just farting around on the phone. Then I got locked out.
It asked if I wanted to log in with my google account.
HELL YEA. That would be perfect. I DO know my google account information and that's one reason I love Android. I don't have to sync anything.
But it wont validate. It wont even try to use the data to validate. It automatically tells me it's wrong the moment I click "log in". I've read that other people in my similar situation have had the same problem. The suggestion was to use 3g and not Wi-Fi which I tried but that didn't work.
I think maybe because I'm using SimpleMobile, the phone may be trying T-Mobiles APN when I'm using SimpleMobile's network. I dont know though.
Yes, the phone is rooted.
But as of right now, the phone is bricked. I can't get in.
And I just came back from T-Mobile. I can't find my receipt and they can't find my account. This was originally an AT&T number that was ported to T-Mobile, and then ported to SimpleMobile. The guy says it's impossible that he can't find my account under my number and thinks I'm a fraud.
I really really need some help here. Can anyone suggest anything?
I learned when I rooted this phone, that there is NO way to get into download mode or recovery mode using the power button and volume buttons. I had to use method on theunlockr.com to root.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me. I'm being forced back into my European Hero and I hate it
Sounds like a data connection problem but yea wifi is not an option
u have a friend with tmobile with data plan?
Try putting their sim card in and try the Google account user/pass again
The T-Mobile rep tried that and it did not work.
Right now, I've got the phone configured to use SimpleMobile's network. I think the phone is trying to use the wrong APN for validation.
I found this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485988
I'm pretty sure it's in debug mode. But I'm not really sure how to proceed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Lol tmobile can't find your account sounds like your defrauding ppl here good luck and save this forum for ppl who really bought/own the phone . And simple mobil uses tmobile towers

I just dug out my t-mobile contract and I'm on my way back to the store.
If you think I stole the phone, please move on to the next thread. YOU ADVICE IS NOT WANTED.
If you'd like to offer some real help, then please go ahead. Now maybe that I've got some paperwork they can get into the account I used when I purchased this and it will be covered under the warranty.

Sorry but if you're using a t mobile vibrant with another GSM carrier then its unlocked then swapping with t mobile and your sim vice-versa will work fine that's why i recommended trying that
And why don't you go check my posting history douche bag. I've had this Vibrant for a month already.
Im a douchbag?

Talking to people like that wont get you the help you want.
Back from when i was a Tmo rep i only dealt with Sim lockouts and we could access this information and help unlock it with an 8 digit passcode.
However from what you are saying you are on a smaller GSM carrier and they are unable to get you this info because it is not a phone supported by them (they dont sell the phone thus no customer service for it). Only way to get this by yourself is to use Odin and flash back stock rom due to you not being able to access download mode.
Just because u had a stolen phone for a month dont mean any thing and looking u only been member a short time and your post are asking the same trash over and over again .may want to go back to using your htc hero

Hey guys, Im using LG G2 D801 (T-Mobile).
The phone out of nowhere stopped accepting the network I was using (other than T-Mobile) and the phone got locked. After searching all through the internet I found out the unlocking option code (number) but before entering the unlock code it says The phone is locked permanently, and I never ever even tried to unlock it before.
I would really appreciate if anyone would help me fix this, I just got this phone. I'm going crazy!

If you had another sim before on your g2 and it suddenly got locked then I suggest to contact Tmobile about that. Did you bought the phone secondhand? If so do you think it might've been stolen?

Umm, I got this phone from a person who's brother sent it all the way from US 3 days back. And that guy also used local network's sim for 3 days continously and he didnt even get a hint of such blocking thing.
Maybe they give a specific time, or the sim changing created the issue?

I am not sure but I think Tmobile can give us the answer why your phone got permanently locked out of nothing. So my best advice is to contact Tmobile about that cause they can't lock it like that with no reason.

Well your phone is already blocked abit :/ but you can still use wifi right? But I still wonder why they randomly blocked it.
Defo? If its country locked they cant just block it like that. Only thing why they can do that is if the phone got stolen. I suggest you to also search about the perm simlock or there is someway to bypass it. I will also try to search a bit but its getting late ;p.

Duh I replied ya, dunno where the heck my post went.
Anyways, yea I can use wifi and all and I'm afraid if I lose the grip to that thing too .
That guy tells me to reset the phone as I entered a new sim but I wont do it, as I've used G2 Vs980 and it somewhat had the same thing Whenever I used to reset the phone it used to get lock and wont work until I put a valid sim into it, but it had a procedure or unlocking or idk what should i call it. You just had to press a couple of buttons and the phone to used to bypass or skip that setup thing. But as Idk any kind of procedure or this model or idk if any procedure will on it either I cant do it.
Anyways, I'll go to a professional unlocker or something and see uf he can help.

Maybe the phone was stolen.
Got one of these off craigslist. There appears to be a pin lock after it came up. How do I remove this? I'm aware there might be Google lock too. But i don't mind that.
You mean the type of pin lock that's intended to prevent the use of a phone which is stolen and then subsequently sold via a cesspool like craigslist? Contact the seller. Good luck.

factory reset in recovery, should take care of the pin lock
Google lock is pretty complicated, if even possible

Thank you. Was able to get into the tricky recovery. Formated and yes there is Google lock. I have unlocked Google locks my self on 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 in over 10 devices in the past, but this one is proving to be the hardest. I can't get into settings>storage or access the Google email app.
Is it possible for me to go back to android 6.0.1 on this device?

You have needed​ to bypass the security of 10 phones? Sounds like you steal or have purchased a lot of stolen phones. It's good to know that FRP is working so well on this one. If anything, that is one fantastic reason not to unlock the bootloader (if it were an option).
I see your home country is Nigeria. You don't happen to be a prince looking to transfer large amounts of money out of the country? I know people that are interested in your scam. Hold on while I find the email to the FBI's scam department...

WOW! haha.. this guy. Definitely up to no good for sure.
Is it possible to bypass screen lock? Just out of curiosity as I put a lot of faith in the security of my z force screen lock. Also what is a Google lock?! Surely if it has FDE then the phone would just factory reset when incorrect password has been inputted right?

I dont know about bypassing screen lock. But one i had a screen lock, i did factory reset in recovery and pin lock went away. had to battle frp lock for some days. but now its unlocked.
frp is google lock. it requires you to enter your gmail and password after phone was factory reset.

I just did a Google frp bypass this evening. Tried multiple programs. Not sure which one finally got it right. Glad I did, payed $50 for it. Think I got a good deal.
Anything I can do with this phone? Found it in the bay last friday, it's pattern locked and doesn't seem to take phone calls or allow me to contact anyone to retrieve..
Would I be able to install a custom rom or something to actually utilize this phone, does it need to be like IOS jailbroken first also?

Needs factory reset and Samsung frp lock removed. Att and Verizon can block signal to most phones that have been reported lost - stolen .
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
ty, possible to use to watch movies on, if I ever get frp lock removed? I only see services that I have to pay for, I'll probably just leave it on shelf or something for now.
If you do get FRP removed, you will be able to use the phone like normal again.
If the Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint blacklist the phone, a SIM card will never work in it again. But it will still function like normal but with no SIM in it. WiFi device only.
Thanks, after hours of searching for a solution, it would appear I can't remove FRP by any means that I've found online.. So seems I found a 700$ brick lol.

Lol. Every' how to', including the Sony website tells you this is a one way process, can't believe you ignored all those warnings.
Having said that, there's no reason why you can't 'fix' it with Xperiafix, everything will be as before you unlocked it.
actually there IS a way to relock the Bootloader.
But the problem is that once you've unlocked it without having the DRM keys saved, relocking it back without using the DRM keys leads to multiple consequences:
1. You MAY BRICK your phone irreversibly.
2. You WILL NOT be able to use the camera
3. The built-in Video/Photo Ehnancer, as well as the Sony 4K enabler MAY NOT work anymore, and you'll, most likely, result in having a 4K panel in fHD-only mode.
4. You won't be able to use your phone for the Daydream VR anymore.
And what is all this for? For being able to install the updates? Lol forget about them.

What a load of bs, there is no method available to relock yet or it would be listed on XDA.
I presume this is still the case in regards to no method of locking the bootloader?

Can anyone help me. I have an xperia xz premium. Before, my device, had a problem which are can't detect for wifi and mobile internet. So, since it is still under warranty, i sent it to the partner office, which is not sony related company i think. The time take to fix the problem is 2 months. For the first time after the fix, i gone to pick up, and start the phone. It says that cannot check for software corruption, need to unlock the bootlader. And About 3 days after i pick up the phone, the phone begin to be crazy, some buttons such as volume and power button also fingerprint mounted to power button has no respond. Sometimes there are respond but not for long. But before the buttons has no respond, the device fell from my hand which is 0.5 meter i think. But i think, the problem is an unlocked bootloader.
What should i do?
Looking forward.

It's your fault.
Since you've dropped your devices, it is more likely that the fall killed your device.
But that bootloader issue must be the repairman's work.
Is it still the case that you can't relock the bootloader? I need to return this phone.
