[Q] Flashed a new ROM - asking for password?? - Acer Iconia A500

I tried to do a factory reset on my A500 and ended up getting a "Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008)" error. I read various threads and ended up at this very helpful thread and tried to flash an update but didn't get anything to work after trying several and then decided to flash a new ROM and the third version I tried seemed to take but now I get a password prompt from something that looks like the screenlock screen. I tried as many generic factory passwords as I could think of but can't get past the screen. Any hints as to what to do? I may try flashing a different version of the ROM to see that helps but I thought I would ask here first. If you're curious, the ROM file I used was Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1.

When installing WM 2005 getting error 103 rom image file not

when installing wm 2005 im getting the error 103 rom image not found and thats it it wont install please help
Hi justin, I'm getting the same error too. I wonder if you found a fix yet or not? I seem to be stuck in the bootloader mode and nothing will take me out of it. I have bootloader vs 1.06.
What happened was I was upgrading to wm 2005 and kept getting the country code error 120 so I went thru the steps that I found here and I put 2 files on my qtek2020 HimaClearJumpCode and HimaGetDeviceData then by mistake I executed the wrong file and it took me to the bootloader mode and it will not come out now. I never intended to ever execute the file but I have a nervous tick and my stylus hit it and double tapped it and viola I'm stuck in the bootloader hell loop.
I'm not really a novice with my qtek2020 I have upgraded and downgraded and manipulated it in many many ways but this one has me stumped. I have searched these threads until I'm blue in the face. I only found on thread that even mentions my problem but it does not give any fixes.
So if anyone here can help me fix this I would appreciate it. I hope I don't have a paper weight

Bricked my trinity

Could somebody please help me?
Today I wanted to upgrade my ROM to a new version.
I succesfully upgraded my Radio and SPL, but when I tried to flas the new ROM I received an error. (I thought it was ERROR: 260)
Now Im stuck in the Bootloader and a hard reset, soft reset, or any other reset wont work.
Removed battery and started device bootloader pop up again.

Network unlock message on start

Hi all,
I have been searching and trying to mend this before posting here but have come to a dead end so need some more advice if possible.
My sister has the S2 and one day it just stopped receiving signal, she restarted the phone and it was asking for the network unlock pin! She got sent some new sims to try and none worked. She had googled around and see that people had success with rooting the device.
I tried this and got the unlock code from chainfire app and tried that but it didn't work. I thought I had unrooted it successfully but it appears not because when she sent it off it came back as warranty was void.
So far I have tried chainfire app to get the unlock, tried the other S2 unlock along with the GII_Repair app from market. None seemed to have worked and I was getting prompts. I flashed clockwork and then CyanogenMod nightly hoping that the factory reset and the modem driver change or something might get it working, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone else have any ideas of any possible next steps I can try?
Thank you
Rich

I've also ran into this issue. As you've tried, I've also tried reflashing the factory firmware via Odin, and rerooting it. Sometimes I could get signal, and the baseband is fine and sometimes the baseband is unknown. Coming back from the screen lock, the phone will have no signal.
I've tried everything from every forum on the web and still couldn't fine a solution. I've done a different SIM card as well and things still don't work. Also flashed multiple modems and still, connections just wasn't stable.
Afterwards, I gave up and exchanged it for a new one. Hopefully you can restore factory firmware and exchange the unit as I don't think anyone has solved this issue yet. Good luck and hopefully you find a way to fix this issue.
If you want to restore the factory firmware, you'll have to do a little searching on the web here, and look for factory firmware and flash it using Odin from either your computer or using the odin app.

[Q] Help with flashing

At the moment, as soon as I wipe my S4 i9505 and flash it with a rom, it presents me with a screen saying "Enter your PIN or password to use the encrypted device" and then prevents anything further. The only way I can get around this is by flashing cyanogenmod. If I flash stock android or a few other roms, they appear to install fine and then I always come back to this screen.
Any thoughts or recommendations on how to get around this would be appreciated. I've tried it with and without an sd card in there. I'll note I am not on the utmost latest version of clockworkrecovery but it is still relatively recent.
Ok, after some more reading looks like I should try flashing stock firmware. Just gotta find out how to best do this via heimdall.

Jiayu S3 PIN Locked by Kinguser app

First of all, I may be posting this in the wrong section. But I desperately need your help on this.
I got a Jiayu S3, and couldn't not try to flash a custom rom on it, so I tried with "Pure AOSP V1 TF".
All went well, untill i found this app which was included with the rom, "Kinguser" (should be Superuser, i believe), which game me the option to toggle root.
At first and only time I opened this Kinguser app, option root was active. I did deactivate it, and reactivated immediately after.
As soon as i reactivated root, the privacy pin screen showed up.
I didn't set any PIN on my phone, so at first i thought it could be something like 1111 or 0000. Tried 5 times and it made me wait 30 seconds. Then tried another 3-4 times.
Here began the real mess: "forgot pin" (or psw) didn't show up, but at the time i didn't even know about that recovery option.
I didn't know what to do, so I just thought that a factory reset would certainly solve the problem, how couldn't it? Well, wiped everything, but PIN lock screen didn't go away.
So, wiping everything, I also deleted my gmail account from the phone, and I lost the possibility to lock phone and give it a new password (Android Device Manager). Too bad at the time I didn't know about this recovery option as well...
Now I'm out of ideas. I think I've tried every method I could find with a search of "Smartphone PIN locked". Tried with resets, plugins, deleting files with adb..
How do I unlock my phone?
little update: after a factory reset, for 2-3 seconds, it shows the default initial screen, but it doesn't last more that and i just can't do anything.
Now i managed to bring back the stock rom, but with that i lost the twrp recovery, and i can't find a way to make pc recognize the phone to reflash it.
It seems it's going worse instead of better...
I had just bought this Jiayu S3 and planned to bring it on holidays on wednesday, but i'm starting to think i won't be able to fix it before then
Did you have any resolution to this problem. I am currently sitting in the exact same boat. Did the factory reset, pass code screen still there, I didn't set a pass code. Basically hands tied, can't update firmware, guessing i'll have to get a new phone, but hoping maybe you found a miracle cure! ha! - Thanks for any guidance. - Arden (Seattle, WA)
Just flash another rom (stock/original) and start over.
How have you done that?
Can you help please?
I tried factory reset (volume plus+ power button), hard reset (volume- plus power button), update, and nothing works; I also went to two different specialized stores and they failed to find a way to reinstall the original Android version or a recent one.
Comparing the files with the factory version installed in the phone, the phone report identified three changes:
- a new file: /system/priv-app/7mK0T6e8Z5.apk
- the lost of a file: /system/app/com.android.fallen.apk
- and a modified file: /system/bin/debuggerd

To flash firmware you can use SP Flash Tool on a windows or linux computer (not sure about macosx). You have to decide which firmware you want (which one do you have now?). The 'official' firmwares can be found on needrom. SP Flash Tool can be found there as well. There are 2 popular LP firmwares built by Jiayu resellers in Europe (Xtreme from Spain and Jiayu.de from Germany). Guides on how to flash are often present at the place where you find the firmware.

Thank you!
I found "Xtreme from Spain":
needrom.com/download/rom-xtreme-rom-tf/
I found the "SP Flash Tool":
needrom.com/download/sp-flash-tool-v5-1424-00/
but it is for Linux... can you send me the link of the windows version?
And I could not found the "Jiayu.de from Germany": can you send the link?
Also, can you recommend some good manual for dummies?
Thanks again for your patient and help!
latest sp flash tools is 5.1532
search needrom with "5.1532" will leed you to the download page
no link allowed here, so ...
for beta 10 from jiyau.de, search google with "jiyau.de Lollipop 5.1.1 - Beta 10 (14.10.2015)".
it will leeds you to the rom.
Good hunting

see jaunedoeuf's answers
I would like to add: if you come from KK and go to LP, you must use firmware upgrade to update/adjust internal SD partition layout. Good Luck! if you succeed, and are happy with firmware, consider voting @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/firmware-jiayu-s3-t3212184 (almost 100 votes)
First, thank you for your great help!
With your suggestions, I managed to install Lolipop in my Jiayu S3S (upgraded from Kit Kat) - Xtreme ROM TF (JiayuS3-5.1Extreme1.1SP.zip).
However the problem remain... the phone still is asking for a PIN (that I never had put there, in first place)...
What should I do now?
you could try factory reset and are you sure its the phone asking for pin and not the sim card
