[Q] Phone got locked....

hi guys, my galaxy y just got locked due to too many pattern lock attempts. Now I know how to flash firmware through Odin but the instruction says I have to know the firmware version of my phone before hand. The instruction asks me to check my firmware version by pressing *#*#1234#*#*
but all I could type on my phone is emergency number and that aint it. So could you guys please tell me how to check my phones firmware number....I think I can do the rest from there.
Thanks.

Theres an easy way
Just format your phone by recovery.
After switching off your phone and press vol up,home&power key and then clear data and cache and then reboot u will se it will nt ask for password.

y u want to flash stock rom via odin?just format data from recovery as sanchit said and u r done...its a matter of minutes.
Sent from my GT-S6102 using xda premium

Yep! Format ur phone via recovery. Just goto recovery & select & confirm "wipe data/factory reset". It will not ask for pattern.
In future also, u may do this instead of updating whole firmware.

The firmware u are using is just fine I had used the same and for more then a month and incase if u want a pit file u check my signature the 2 nd link is having a pit file make sure u download for ur i9500 only using other version pit file is dangerous
Flash pit file only along with the firmware u have
U also need to check re partition if ur flashing pit file also
However if u are not using pit file do not check re partition
Double check b4 starting the process to be sure

If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done

Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?

You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it

this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

The actual thing naufalhadyan wanted to say is that why u sharing a firmware while there's are already hell of forums giving links for proper firmwares with mirrors !!..
If it is a new firmware then that's okay..but if u sharing an old firmware of 4.2.2 than just a duplicate forum is considered as spam on xda...be aware of that !!!.. Sorry if rude..just telling u
