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

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
Hi all! I know that Mobile Upgrade Q is long gone and I have a program that will reset your Idol 3 back to factory settings with the factory ROM. I have used this program in the past, but unfortunately I no longer have the device.
What you will have to do is download the program available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Sd99aiZIL8JSpXwAiwGitulNFbJxi2Z4
After downloading there will be a folder named "SUGAR QCT_SP v11.1.2" open this folder and use the setup installer to install the program. After installing (assuming you have the necessary usb drivers installed that can also be found within the folder but I assume many of us have it already installed) open the program "SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2" which if memory serves me correctly, will be placed on the desktop.
Note that you will have to have your device connected to the computer prior to launching the application.
A window will pop up asking you for a username and password. The username and password can be found in the downloaded folder in a file named "sugarpw". The user name is "SU_IN.Panasonic" without quotations and the password is "KoD8naL2".
If any window pops up regarding updates to the program, do not update it as it can cause complications when trying to restore. After this point I cannot remember much of the program because as you need your device to be connected in order to access it, I cannot see it personally. From what I remember there is a drop-down box in which you will need to select your model of Alcatel device. Then there will be two buttons from what I remember. "Get root status" (or something along the lines of this maybe "check root" I am not sure) you need to press the Upgrade or Restore button. I am not sure past this point but I assume someone can comment on this procedure exactly but this should be enough to get you through the process.

hello, first time i write here after long time reading about idol3 recovery, i was almost out of ideas, my 6039k dual sim (italy) got bricked hard as couldn't do any backup, no usb debug no adb no custom recovery, plus alcatel do not share stock rom so this software and chewyboy0 saved my phone. thank you very much. Stefano
thank u a lot you saved my phone i was not able to restore my 6045k dual sim and i was having twrp recovery but there is no roms for dual sim 6045k exept cyanogenmod 12 which was making a lot of problems glitches very annoying . by the way it after your instruction no much left behind the most important thing is after connecting your phone usb put the phone in download mode manually by pressing volume up and down with usb connected after turning your phone off till download screen popup then press volume up continuously till screen turn off , the program can not go to download mode automatically so do it manually then press upgrade in program then screen will popup asking u are u sure u want to install this rom with firmware num etc... agree and wait till it done .thank a lot chewyboy0 god give u the right path and keep u happy in life and last thanks again
Just wanted to share my experience. I actually had to upgrade the software in order to get my 6045O from cricket to restore it back to the original cricket MM. In fact, before I upgraded the software it just said 6045 and afterwards it showed multiple versions of the 6045 including the 6045O. Anyways, I just booted into download mode and pressed upgrade and waited 30 minutes. After setting my phone up I went ahead and used Alcatel Flasher to install TWRP and root my phone again.
I was beginning to give up hope. Before updating the software I kept getting model mismatch error. Had already used Eluga, which dumped by Lte for HSPA+ and I tried flashing every radio possible, which only made it worse to where the sim wasn't detected.
If you can help, on the Alcatel website it was necessary for the idol 3 Mobile_Upgrade_Q_5.1.8_Setup.exe and in fact contact me with Alcatel support and the only thing they told me was that I had to send it, but it had a cost, and My last option was to do the trial and error, so I saved it with the Mobile_Upgrade_Q_5.1.7_Setup.exe and it worked.
Note:
My idol 3 is 6045I
Android 5.0.2
I also use Google translator, I do not know English
It worked for me!
Before opening the program "SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2" I had to put my mobile in "Download Mode"...
Step by step:
1: Download the program available in the link posted in the threat;
2: Extract the downloaded zip file and open the "SUGAR QCT_SP v11.1.2" folder, then setup installer to install the program;
1: Turn off your device completely and connect it to your computer with a USB cable;
2: Put your mobile in "Download Mode". For Alcatel Idol 3 6039J, push and hold the Power and Both the Volume Buttons, a Red Screen should appear in your mobile, then release all buttons and quickly hold the Volume Up Button until the screen turns Black;
3: Open the program "SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2" which will be placed on the desktop (when asked, allow windows administrator privileges);
4: Enter with username (SU_IN.Panasonic) and pw (KoD8naL2), click on "OK" button;
5: Click "No" to quit updating;
6: Select your device model in "Product Models" list (6039 for Idol3 4,7");
7: Click in "Upgrade" button and wait until the end (it takes a while for downloading the firmware and writing it into your device);
8: Your device should restart automatically running the stock ROM.
9: Have fun

Hi
I could restore with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8
Available on alcatel-mobile.com
Idol 3 was restored to Marshmallow, so I don't know if root is possible after restoring.

Just 3 weeks ago, I was able to restore (in Canada) my Idol 3 to stock MM using Mobile Upgrade from download mode (I think it was version 5.1.7 as 5.1.8 would not do anything).
Here is a download link:
5.1.7:

I've got literally the exact same problem...
I've tried everything that is possible, it was working perfectly with twrp, magisk root and even had edxposed (stock android, safetynet pass, Google pay working). I wanted finally the pie, kdz file has shown up so I wanted to update it as always (with twrp I could only update via LGUP) stopped at 10% and the it shown an error and turned off. Once I disconnected my cable while updating but was able to reconnect and relaunch update without any issue or losing data! Now I didn't know what to do so I gave it to a service, 2 and half week passes, they arek still working on it, if I have anything after that and my phone connects to pc or boots to android I will tell.

After I get back my phone I will try it, but as the phone wasn't seen by laptop after connecting it then using another lg up wouldn't have any sense. There may be two problems, or I ****ed up something while trying to update to pie or the kdz file isn't good. The servise told me today that there is a problem with the first partition, that's why the phone isn't seen after connecting. If I hadn't root my phone I could send it to lg because I'd still have my warranty, but now I'm waiting so they tell me how much it'll cost to use a special device that connects to the motherboard or something like that to get the first partition installed. So evilchef...

You are having the same problem as me, if you still have your warranty, then you can send your phone to an lg service, if not do it on your own money. After I get my phone back I will tell you if it still has all the data on it, but I'm more than sure that it has lost it. If in any way I get back then I can suggest you to get it repaired if you haven't got any backup done, if not it might be better to buy a new phone.
Hello, everyone,
I tried to install LineageOS on my S10 Plus yesterday. That worked so far, but I found that it didn't have a decent camera app and the Samsung Watch wasn't that easy to connect either. So I thought I'd just go back to the Stock ROM again. I then downloaded the latest stock firmware according to this guide and installed it with Odin. The installation also runs through, after the installation the mobile phone starts and after the start screen there is an Android man with the signature "Erasing". After a few seconds, the device turns off and stays black. Even if I put it on the charger or try to restart it, nothing happens. I keep getting into download mode and recovery, but that's about it. Multiple reinstallations and resets via the recovery didn't help - the phone just won't start.
I used the CSC_... and not the HOME_CSC_... at the firmware is the right one for my phone.
Is there any way I can salvage the device? I'm afraid that something in the memory is defective now, which has nothing to do with the flashing itself. Do you have any ideas?
Many thanks!

same thing happened to me today. but I flashed my s10e the bootloader and modem file of android 9 from twrp, the phone did not boot up and I loaded the stock rom again, then when I open it, it's the same as yours, I really need urgent help.

I'm glad it worked.
I was very afraid that the phone died, what did you do for 5 days in this state?
Now I have a question in my mind: When Samsung releases an update in the future, will the bootloader and modem files be updated when we update it with odin? won't it be updated? After that, do we will always update manually as twrp? do you have any idea?
Well, I simply didn't use a mobile phone in these days. It was a very "interesting" experience, but not a huge problem. I sometimes opened WhatsApp as Windows App (interestingly, which works without phone).
I don't know, what happens at a Samsung Update, but until Android 13, I will not update (so probatly never). In our German forum (www.android-hilfe.de), a pre rooted and debloated "Stock"-Firmware is provided, but I can't install it, since my Bootloader is too new (V15 instead V14 for the ROM). When it is possible, I will install this firmware. If you are interested, here is the link: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...3-2022-stock-rom-v2-0-pre-rooted.1000713.html

I was trying to remove FRP lock by reinstalling firmware via ODIN3. Didn't realize it would stay intact even after reflash. I tried reflashing with the NAND erase option, and it just gets stuck during the boot. Anyone got a solution for the above issues? I don't mind installing a different firmware, but lineage doesn't seem to support this device, and I'm not super familiar with other firmware sources

Use SamFw Tool. If it works, post here and consider donating to Tungtat.
Any chance you have more information on that? First off, I need to get the tablet to boot again. I'm gonna try reinstalling the firmware again tomorrow

I don't do Windows security research. If you have concerns install an antivirus program. However, to use the FRP tools, you must first have a working android.
You can get an overview of how the SamFW Tool works >here<.
So, I was able to install it on an old laptop, it works just fine. I have a device that will boot now, I was able to flash firmware and get it running again. I was able to make the "Open Youtube" trick work. I had a video that gives you the link that says "efrp.me" and has a few things you can install, including getting to the full settings via shortcut. But I can't figure out how to get into dev settings, the "7 taps to enable" does NOT work. I tried the download mode "Flash" options for FRP and got security failures each time.
