I'm locked out of my phone; "Too many pattern attempts". I have "no network connection" because I believe I turned off cell data and WiFi. I don't want to lose data. Samsung and Verizon techs not able to help. I've searched on line, looked at videos, etc.....but to no avail. This xda site looks like it is full of many far more experienced than I. Please help me. Thanks. Lew

I was running JF's 1.51 but needed to downgrade to RC29. Now that I've done so I can't get internet and therefore can't get past the sign up stage.
I've searched the forums THOROUGHLY and can't find a solution. Please don't delete my post.
I realize there's a post detailing how to skip this sign in step. Because I can't change the settings of my phone it wont work for me. I need to know if anyone has run into this problem and what are some possible causes. My APN settings are correct. I even have the EDGE network internet icon on the phone, and it looks like there is some activity, but I cannot connect to Google servers.
PLEASE help, I'm kind of new to this and maybe jumped in too quickly, but the first time I followed this process I didn't have any problems at all. I've tried changing the ROM and using different bootloaders, nothing will get past the authentication.
I'm no expert, but just a question. Does it matter if hes using an newer radio on an older build?
When I sometimes flash a ROM and can't get internet access I just turn on/off my phone a time or two and eventually I get internet back.
Actually this is fixed. It was simple and embarrassing.
After doing a lot of reading I found a post on another site with a tmob rep. He was talking about how if you have a shared text plan, sometimes there are issues with the data plan provision dropping off of the sim card because the subscriber will have a shared text plan and also text messages as part of their data package. T-mobile systems see this as redundant and drop a feature.
I've had the same data plan for almost 2 years, it's the same data plan I was using when I first got the g1 - sometimes their systems don't pick it up for awhile apparently - but when they do you can no longer use that internet gateway. Coincidentally, this happened to me just as I was downgrading my g1.
Sorry for the needless post. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the site with guides, they have always been very helpful to me.
Sometimes it's the simplest thing...
I tried searching this fourm, online, and no results after countless hours.
This is my problem. At work there is one big open network with a lot of extenders everywhere. When I got my new phone phone from BB when I broke my screen I tried to connect to it and it says " Connecting...." for a few seconds then automatically goes to "Saved".
I tried the obvious, forgetting network, rebooting phone, restoring to factory, updating firmware, nothing has worked so far. It always goes from connecting to saved. Every other device has worked flawlessly besides this phone
My last few phones have had no problem connecting. I do not have the authority to reboot the whole system, change frequently, add a pw, basically I'm only allowed to connect.
Wondering if anyone has experienced this problem, and might have any ideas or solutions. This is the only network that has ever gave me a problem.
Thanks for taking your time to read and help!

Funny thing... I just got a brand new galaxy note 3 and it does the same thing... Making me think something with this Wifi setup and the galaxy family phones are not getting along. I'll try and see if I can talk to the Web tech and see if he can tweet something to get it to work.

ive seen a few people post on here with this problem but none of the posted solutions are working for me. Im on oreo b12, on verizon. i have tried rooted and unrooted. I have 4g lte data connected no problem, but when the hotspot goes up it is not transmitting data. I do pay for the hotspot which makes this aggravating. i did some searching on here and the xda forums, and i read about changing the APN settings, which i have to no avail in helping this. I read about the "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" and tried that only to get an error "failure calling service settings" (i may be a little off im running from memory right now). when googling that error i read about changing the selinux to permissive, thats where i was over my head and was denied, but i stopped there. does anyone here have an idea of another way for me to try to tackle this? was i doing something wrong? I was rooted when i tried all of this, i reinstalled and went unrooted to see if that would help but it did not. Any help or a guiding light would be appreciated and i know this question has come up a few times before its just not working for me.
I'm still on stock, non rooted Nougat and encrypted and have 2 SIMs, was hotspotting my personal SIM no problem but couldn't hotspot my work SIM which was a real PIA. I ensured the APN was good but that didn't help. After some googling for solutions I used my PC and ADB to alter a setting for it.
Now I can hotspot it perfectly. Can't remember what it was but it was a basic command. At the time I also removed a bunch of system apps I didn't use, mostly Google bloat. Made the phone snappier again too.

Keep your pants on, I never saw the reply here
If I get some googling time I'll have a look, but you guys could do the same...
Do it for all of us Google it for us before you post a incomplete reply. If you are unaware of how to create a link to save others to complete your reply maybe try posting that .
It's like saying I know where the true superior being resides in religious texts "Google It" as educated beings know there isn't one but that doesn't stop people googling it and leading them into a pointless search on truth based on someone's made up fairytale.
My pants are on the way they should be on unlike yours because I use a belt as where you has their bare arse hanging out for others to see.

You want me to help you whilst insulting me, strange way to go about it
Have a read of this and you get the idea of what needs doing. You have to be comfortable using ADB.

Another setting to try is:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
I can't check it myself as after Oreo update my phone works with hotspot off either SIM anyway.
Let me preface this by first saying, I am using the A20U (So I know rooting to fix this isn't an option. feelsbadman.jpg) But I have an unlocked VZW A20, and am trying to use an MVNO to get data and all that good jazz.
The weird issues is that my LTE (and all of my network for that matter) seems to disconnect it's self about 2-5min after connecting it it. I know it's not a SIM issue (as I've tried this sim in my wife' phone, EXACT same model.) with no issues. I am going to go over all the steps I've taken, as well as the "temp-fix" i've found for it and maybe one of you righteous nerds can help a fellow nerd out...I'm going INSANE.
Temporary Fix : Using "Hidden Menu" app, I can go into the screen and change the preferred network type, (LTE/UMTS auto PRL get's my data, texts, and calls working before dropping off randomly.) I have good signal, and no other issues.
I have XAA/XAA/VZW and Verizon has confirmed that it is indeed SIM unlocked. So I am rather at a loss on what to do. Flashing any files I can find through Odin seems to yield no results for me.
Thanks in advanced! <3
Hey Everyone,
I have been bashing my head against a wall trying to get this phone unlocked, a friend has passed away and no one knows his PSW. The phone houses information that will help the family.
What I have been able to get access to over the course of time i have spent with all devices.
Emails, laptops, Samsung account.
He was good with securing his passwords but I was able to get through with some persistence.
The phone is linked to his Samsung account and when i go onto: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
i see it however when i try to see any options I get the following:
"Your service provider doesn't support the Find My Mobile service on your phone.
If you've lost a device, you can find it with SmartThings Find in the SmartThings app.
SmartThings Find is only supported on devices with Android O or higher."
smart things gives me absolutely nothing. I tried to bypass the service provider by spoofing the wifi from his home and got him connected but that has given me no further progress.
I also checked if he had developer options on so i could ADB into the phone but again no luck with that. I am down to "3 attempts left" with no option to reset password.
Any help would be super appreciated.
Also have an iPad that i cant figure out the password to but I am guessing that thing is done, and the data cannot be removed from it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

one of the forum members was able to attempt to assist but we did not get far I have not seen a message like this in the samsung account ever and yet it always pops up . we reflashed the phone to a ATT variant and attempted to see if it can be found on that network and we got the same results.
I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place I would love to help the family but I know within 3 attempts the phone will be wiped.
If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.
