[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.

If you like to use Kies instead of Odin then you can disconnect your USB cable (phone) and go to Tools>Firmware Upgrade and Initialization and follow the instructions. You'll need to enter model number (case sensitive) like GT-I9500 and your mobile's serial number (from Settings>About Device).

Just let it be. When you open ODIN then it will have only 2 ticks. Dont tick more then that. Then select PDA (i.e. .tar) file & Press Start. Don't unplug the device until you get clear Ext button.
Note: Do check whether your Mobile has been detected by ODIN (A Green column will be highlighted in left upper corner).

No, this is actually a fail-safe way to upgrade your firmware in case the automatic Kies updater fails. You'll get to a step where you'll choose to factory reset or not, and you can always back up and restore data from Kies (you can back up before the whole upgrade process).
Odin is good, though. Basically the same thing. If you flash official ROM then your phone status will stay "Official" but the flash counter may increase. Kies method is official and will not threaten your warranty.

Yes correct it's a big file as lots of bloatware by Samsung and the OTA I is 343 mb
I would still suggest that download install and keep it even after flashing it I personally never trust KIES a stupid time waste waitng for it to complete
And ya even if u try doing thru KIES it myte take abt 3 hours as my friend took more then 4 hours having 1 mbps speed
And ya this won't increase a binary counter

Thanks very much mate! For your valuable information the kies is very bad... it tooks me 1.5 hour per season. .. I tried 2 times to upgrade my s4 but still not successful. Hmmm
I will definitely try download and flash it using ODIN. Sorry if I'm writing too much because I am absolutely noob to Samsung device.
One more thing? Its that the phone recovery in the kies are reliable? In case of brick or something how can I revive it.
Thank in advance

You can use ODIN with the sgh-i337 , just make sure it's version 3.07 I think it is. Or 3.08 or something. It has to be a certain odin version.

It doesn't matter what version you use. You can use 1.85 or 3.09 or any where in between.

Do you need to get back to Stock on AT&T Galaxy S3 or S4 ????? This link is for the S4. Download the file I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Stock_Odin_tar
Then install with Odin 3.09 If you need more help let us know.

Can't turn download mode

You need to get into download mode to fix your phone. If you can not get into download there is nothing you can do

So when your phone is off you are holding the volume down, home button and power at the same time? Also you tried holding the volume up, Home and Power button at the same time?

Yep, I found in the forum that this model i337 has bootloader, the download and recover it's blocked... So, to install custom rooms, I have to install a safetrap for my model
