Posting for a friend here. Running the Verizon note 3 on what I assume is the most up to date stock software.
Basically he informed me that he wiped cache from recovery because his phone "was having issues" after he rebooted his home screen pin unlock is saying he entered the wrong pin. Is there any way short of a factory reset that will fix this. Thanks for your help

We'd need a bit more info but here goes.
If he's pure stock they can try going into download mode and doing a hard reset. Turn off phone and follow these steps.
1) Press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time. For about 5 to 8 seconds, the phone will reload.
2) Release all buttons as soon as you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo.
3) In the Android system recovery mode, use the volume rocker to highlight wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Power button to select.
4) Select Yes — delete all user data
5) Next, select reboot system now.
He'll have to redo his apps and stuff all over again but he'll be into his phone.
If he is rooted and running a custom rom just reboot and hit safestrap recovery button on start up and reflash rom. You are assuming he on just stock software but we aren't 100% sure.

I stated that he was running stock. He is trying to find a way to do this without wiping data as he has information he doesn't have backed up that he doesn't want to loose

I don't know what else he can do other than hard resetting the phone. Did he save it to his sd card or internal storage? If it's on his sd card he's fine. If it's on his internal storage I don't know what else to do. I don't think there's any software for that as it's his phone but bypassing the pin lock any other way might be considered phone piracy and I doubt the xda governing bodies will let that be posted here even if something existed. There was some software for the s3 that let you put your imei number back on your phone if you lost it flashing roms but xda had to not let it be posted here as it could have been used to activate a stolen phone. I don't know what else to do to help. He may have to bite the bullet on this one unless someone else knows something I don't.

Couldn't find a thread with precisely same situation - this morning I left my Iconia with WiFi off on standby with plenty of battery left (70ish %), only to just find it powered off. Now when I try to power it on, it stays in the Android boot animation and doesn't go anywhere from there.
And like I said in the title, it isn't rooted or in any other way hacked, so this is really weird. I think a factory reset would make it work, maybe, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them before resorting to wiping.
Also I have no idea how to do a factory reset without CWM. Long press reset button doesn't seem to work?
Hold Volume Down while turning Power On?
Nope...it tries to run update.zip

A simple method for wiping is described in this thread.
Alternatively you can connect an USB keyboard, boot to recovery (vol-down + power) and press HOME on the keyboard. This will open a menu where you can select factory reset.
It got stuck at "Erasing cache" but I just shut it down and rebooted, now it started. Thanks a lot. Somehow I think I'm going to root it now and put CWM so I won't have to lose all my data because STOCK ROM crashes for some weird reason and I don't have a backup.
in my opinion u should just go ask for replacement....
*It should work on pretty much any android phone on 4.1.2*
*it wont root your phone, so it wont break your warranty and its completely free*
*if you have 4.1.1, do step 8 only and your good to go*
You will need to downgrade your phone back to 4.1.1, unlock it using a simple method, factory reset, restore your data, upgrade back to 4.1.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: Find and download your 4.1.1 firmware on Sammobile (make sure you put the right model and country, etc)
STEP 2: Download Odin 3.07
STEP 3: Backup your data, I'm not gonna make a guide for this, there already a ton on google, as for me, I didn't really needed my apps so I just backed my contacts on my gmail and that's it
STEP 4: Turn off your phone, open it back up on download mode (Hold volume down + home button + power button)
STEP 5: Open Odin, click on the PDA button, then go get the firmware you downloaded on Sammobile
STEP 6: Plug your phone in your computer via USB, you should see COM something appear on one of the top left square in Odin, wait for it to load until it seems ready, make sure Auto reboot is checked.
STEP 7: Click on Start on Odin, the firmware will now install on your phone and then the phone will reboot, it took 5-10min for me, be patient and make sure to not unplug your USB cable.
STEP 8: After this, your phone is back to 4.1.1, it may be lagging a bit with some apps problems, but you still can do this unlocking method: Dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu
[1] UMTS
[1] Debug Screen
[8] Phone Control
[6] Network Lock
Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF
(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in
[6] Network Lock then choose
[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone
*I am not the author of this method*
STEP 9: Factory reset your phone (should be in settings in backup and reset) make sure you backed up all the data you want to keep
STEP 10: upgrade back to 4.1.2, recover your data and you're done ! The phone is now factory unlocked entirely for free and still under warranty !

i have the SGH-I747M locked to Telus
This did work for me but after i completed step 7 the phone was lagging and app crashing so bad the dialer app would not open and it was very unstable!!!
At this point i did a factory reset with the following method
lets call it, optional STEP 7B..
After Odin is complete and the phone has rebooted, power the phone off again and do a factory wipe (YOU WILL LOOSE ALL INFO ON YOUR PHONE) using this method........
hold in the volume up, home, and power buttons until the samsung logo appears then release the power button only, once the android appears release the remaining buttons.
using the volume rocker, move the cursor to "wipe data/factory reset" and use the power button to select (AGAIN YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE!!!) then move cursor to "yes" and select to continue
Once complete move cursor down to "reboot system now"
you phone will now be stable and as if you just pulled it out of the box with 4.1.1
now move to step 8

What happens after u do this and then upgrade back to 4.3? Does it stay? Do OTA updates still work or stop it? I'm trying to do a ATT S3 to T-Mobile. Any help would be appreciated. Thabks.

i continued on with steps 8 thru 10 above.
once the phone was tested as "unlocked" (placed a Rogers SIM in the device and tested) i then installed the OTA updates as normal.
as of today, this device has now received OTA updates to 4.3 and is still unlocked running on Rogers!
Hope this helps
Getting harder to find the firmware.

After a poor experience with ODIN sometime back I had my doubts about this procedure working... but it worked a treat. It did seem to get stuck rebooting after the procedure but a further factory reset/reboot sorted it out. The most difficult bit was finding the firmware but eventually found the same UK firmware at androidfilehost (no need to register with any file-hosting companies).
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post these instructions for the benefit of people like me.
Will this work on a Alcatel phone?

Hello Folks... I want to make a Factory reset on my SGH-i337 ATT Galaxy S4, but I am getting troubles when doing in either way
1)System Settings > Accounts> Backup and reset or buy 2)pressing Vol Up + Home + Power . On the first method when I confirm the Delete All data the phone try to restart and it got the Downloading ... screen also when trying the 2nd method the same issue happens.
I have looked every where and can't find something a like.
Also in the tiny letters says the could not do normal boot: Odin Mode, Product Name Current Binary Samsung Official etc.
But if I do a Vol Down + Home + Power I can go to a screen that say Volume up to Continue or Volume Down to Restart and I choose the second and my phone restart without any issues. But without the Factory reset.
I gave Safestrap installed but no Slot roms yet

You did something wrong and screwed up your stock recovery. You need to odin back to MF3 and try again (assuming you are on MF3 to begin with). Make sure you read EVERYTHING before you try it again though. You can search the forum to find out how to use ODIN to get back to stock MF3. There is a thread or two about it in the General and Q&A sections. Good luck.
While you are at it, you should probably go a head and read all of the "pinned" threads in the general and Q&A sections as well.

I experienced the same problem too. Follow these steps:
1) Restart your phone and boot into Safestrap.
2) Make sure the slot selected in "Boot Options" is the "Stock Rom"
3) Go back to the main menu of Safestrap and click "Wipe"
4) Then "Swipe to Factory Reset"
5) Once reset reboot your phone and you should be factory reset.
Good Luck :fingers-crossed:
Hello all. I tried to read as much as I could before posting this. Here is how my phone is:
- Rooted
- TWRP
- Custom ROM
Here is the problem:
I wanted to load a different ROM, so I tried to wipe system, cache, data and Dalvik cache. During the wipe process (wiping system), TWRP froze for about 5 minutes. I had no choice but to force the phone off. Now I can't boot the OS (expected), but I can't seem to get into recovery either. I can hold the volume button up and get to the download mode where I could restore the stock OS, but I have a lot of pictures that I want to keep. Is there any way for me to save my stuff from the internal SD?
Right now, my phone boots to the LG logo and just stays there.
You should have let the wipe finish. On early version of twrp it can take 15 minutes to complete.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn it off. Then power and volume down into the lg logo, release them and then hold them both again. This should take you to a factory reset screen, say y especially to the prompts, 2 or 3 of them. And it will take you into twrp

tdevaughn,
Thank you.I did not think it would take that long, but yes, I have learned my lesson now. When I used the volume and power keys, it takes me to the 'factory hard reset screen'. It asks me if I want to permanently erase user data and reset settings. Is this the screen you expected to see? If I confirm that I want to do that, will it take me to recovery, or will it delete all of my stuff?

Hey guys, long timer lurker but finally got an account today! But I'm afraid I don't come bearing good news
Little backstory: I had bought my sexy Nexy within the first 30 sec. that online orders were opened in the U.S. (and I managed to snag this puppy during class just in time). Suffice to say, I love my phone. Never rooted it, never blinged it out, as stock as they come.
Unfortunately, last night my phone was sitting on my desk and I noticed it had restarted by itself. Come to find out that it won't get past the bootloader screen (where the 4 google circles dance around, sorta like drunk hippies dancing in a field. Best analogy I could think of ). I've been searching online, and I've been finding a lot of mixed solutions to fix this issue. And even most of those applied only to rooted phones, or to people who bricked theirs while rooting.
I had backed my phone's data about a month ago, but my last month's worth of photos (mom & pops' 25th anniversary, mom's b-day, a bunch of awesome events with my friends, parties, etc) never got a chance to be backed up. Since I know how awesome the N4 forum is on here, I wanted help from you guys in regards to what I can do in order to backup/recover my data (or at least, the photos). I don't want to do a factory reset because I fear it would just wipe all data, and of course connecting it to my computer while it's stuck inevitably on the bootloader screen doesn't do anything.
Some important things to note/which might help:
I got the 4.4.3 update a few days ago, not sure if that did anything.
App sideloading is enabled on my phone (however, I'm not sure if I ever enabled the developed mode on my phone).
What options do I have in regards to recovering my pics/data from my poor Nexy?
I'm sorta willing to try anything at this point, because from what I've read, an eventual factory reset is inevitable.
Thanks for your help! :highfive:
Hi there,
Dont factory reset just yet. Are u able to go to recovery? If so, try just wiping cache and dalvik cache then reboot system.
Dont think your bricked.

Hi! Would you mind walking me step-by-step through how I can go into recovery mode and wipe the cache/dalvik cache and then reboot? I don't want to mess up any steps and make my situation worse lol. What will the recovery-mode screen look like, and what options should I stay away from?

Turn off your phone. When it's off, power it on by pressing the power button and volume up button. It should bring you into recovery mode. Navigate using the volume buttons and select options using the power button.
If there's an option to "Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache", choose that and you won't lose anything, first boot will take a while.
If there isn't any Wipe Cache option, there should be a "Wipe Data" option, this will reset the phone but things in the SD Card SHOULD NOT be erased (at least in custom recovery).
Can't provide screenshot cuz you can't do that on recovery mode and I've never use stock recovery.
Good luck.

@ uchihakurtz beat me to it:thumbup:
Well explaned, except for one thing:
Once u pushed power + volume up u will end up in bootloader mode. From here navigate with volume key to recoverymode and press powerbutton. Now u will end up booting to recoverymode. In here u can choose "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvikcache".
Good luck.

So, if I have this correct, once the phone's off:
1) Press POWER and VOLUME + button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
2) Using VOLUME +/- key to navigate to RECOVERY MODE option
3) Press POWER button to select RECOVERY MODE option
4) Inside RECOVERY MODE, navigate to WIPE CACHE and WIPE DALVIK CACHE using VOLUME +/- button
Is that correct? And in step 1, is it POWER and VOLUME + or POWER and VOLUME - to go into bootloader mode? I keep seeing Power & Volume - in several threads when it comes to booting into recovery mode.
And secondly, should my phone be connected to my laptop during this entire process? Or just have the phone solo and foreveralone :crying: by itself?
Finally, once I complete Step 4, will me phone restart automatically or will I have to power it down + power it back up again?
Thanks!

Will this work even though my phone's stuck in the bootloader loop? From the gist of it, that post makes it seems as if your phone needs to be able to actually work in order to unlock the stock bootloader using that method along with Android SDK + Android SDK Platform tools.
Thanks again for the help!

If your bootloader is locked you're going to have a problem. With it locked there's no way you're going to be able to recover your files. Adb will work if you can boot into recovery

Thanks for your help, I'm not extremely familiar with rooting/using ADB, etc so I'm having a huge panic attack.
What would you recommend is the best course of action? If I choose to pursue using ADB to backup my phone's data, would you please mind pointing me to the noob-friendly threads (or even help me yourself by holding my hand along the process ) for:
1) Step-by-step of how to properly install Android SDK and 1.a) How to enable ADB functionality?
2) How to correctly enter Recovery mode on my N4 (button combos) and whether I should attempt to wipe cache/Dalvik?
3) How to use Android SDK/ADB to backup my data from my nexus 4?
Again, I really appreciate your help. As you can imagine, I'm really worried about losing photos of some huge moments in my life and I'm slightly overwhelmed at the different methods people seem to be using (and trying to figure out whether those apply to me). Thanks.

To setup adb. Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That'll give you everything you need.
To boot into recovery you need to boot into the bootloader. Vol down plus power button. Then use the vol keys to navigate to recovery

Great, I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.
I had a general question: When I boot into recovery, how do I find out if I have USB debugging enabled? Is there some way for me to find out if I did indeed enable it a while ago (I can't quite remember)?
And if I enter Recovery mode, is there a way for me to exit this mode and turn my phone off/restart it (or do I HAVE to select one of the options?) I want to go in and see if I have USB debugging enabled first, and then turn my phone off without wiping any caches, etc, and then download + setup ADB.
Thanks!

After entering recovery and wiping both caches there is an option to reboot system. U can use this to boot your phone back up again.
(Sorry, it indeed is vol down + power button to enter bootloader menu) my bad
