first make a nandroid backup. now wipe data and cache in recovery mode. if you dont know then search here. if you know then after wiping data and cache use nandroid manager to restore your apps,sms,call logs,wifi and bluetooth settings. i dont exactly remember on how to fix it. you were supposed to replace a file in /data which holds the lock pattern info using adb

Iv posted this a few times but here it is again
flash the attachment in cwm with everything mounted
aroma file manager starts
goto data/system
delete gesture.key
delete password.key
reestart
thanks guys, i will try those. btw, the phone is asking for gmail account to unlock, and it always say incorrect username/password, but i put it all correct (i tried in my other device). i think it's another file to delete other than password and gesture key.
anyways, i will still try your suggestions
i deleted the gesture.key but still the phone asks for gmail account before unlock..

thanks man.
i also tried it, but still nothing happens.
i believe i correctly entered my account and password.
maybe there's another file to delete in /data.

you don't need internet to use your gmail account to unlock, it uses your last set password stored offline
or delete gesture.key from /data/system with adb

yes i deleted it already. i entered my google account correctly (i believe), but still no success. sometimes it says, after entering username and password, that i should wait for 30 secs coz i entered the pattern incorrectly. and after 30secs, nothing.

did you change your password recently? cause if so, you should try your previous password

nope. i think i have to do the last resort. nandroid backup and nandroid manager.
Wiping data solves this problem.

I have made a prior thread regarding this issue in troubleshooting/help but no-one is biting and I REALLY need this solved. PLEASE.
I'm not a 100% sure how this problem occurred, I believe it was after flashing an S5 custom rom called: "RC Elite S5 Port V16" To my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900W8). From what I was reading it was a ROM that "converts" your note 3 to a note 4 or s5, while still having all the Note 3 features. Another possible cause is trying to use RegionLock Away.apk by Chainfire to essentially(unlock) the phone. I feel like this is the main cause though as this affects the modem on the phone. This isn't the SIM as I tried it in another phone and works fine with calls and texts.
IMEI and serial number show the exact ones on the box. I have the latest updated firmware (stock) from Samsung Kies 3 AND Sammobile. Here is a list of pictures from an app I installed prior "Phone INFO Samsung" from the GooglePlay Store.

I skipped "DEVICE ID" section as it is 100% legitimate IMEI and Serial Number.
My phone doesn't want to register its mobile network anymore. When I try to make a call or text it says:

I was reading online for about 2-3days now for possible solutions that can cure this. Such as:
1. Going into Mobile Networks settings and manually register [failed, details below]
2. Going into Mobile Networks settings, hold home button for 2seconds and then hold power button + home button for 15seconds [failed, details below]
3. Taking out battery while the phone is on and remove the SIM card, clean it and re-insert [failed]
4. Factory Reset [Failed]
5. Wipe Storage and re-flash stock ROM [Failed]
6. Turn on airplane mode, restart and turn off [Failed]
7. Reflash stock firmware without SIM card installed [Failed]
8. Completely discharge the battery, recharge [Failed]
Options 1 & 2 do not work because when I try to access Mobile Network Settings I get this:

The SIM card is inside the phone though...
So what I did is found a mobile network options shortcut "program" from GooglePlay Store and installed it. It allows me to access the menu, which is great! Now, when I try to register the SIM card to my correct service provider (BELL CANADA)...it will make me wait for about 1-2minutes before I get "Unable to register, try later" error...even for automatic registration. Here are some more images from my stock from status info page...

If you look, you can see I have full reception on my toolbar at the top...but, when we look at the actual connections everything is unknown and/or disconnected. Even my phone number!
I tried the factory restore with a stock 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile/Samsung Kies3 and the issue is still there.
Is there anything that anyone knows that can help me resolve this problem? I tried EVERYTHING i can possibly find on Google.
Thank you very much in advance. This is honestly the more unique problem I have ever encountered and i'm in DIRE need of my phone.
Solution!
Bother, I'm sorry to tell you this but you need to restore to the factory rom, through kies on your pc, and after that go to recovery boot and make a back up of your modem and efs, then wipe all data, system, cache, dalvik and internal SD, install rc lite, and restore model and efs!
This works for me every time this happens when trying out new roms, good luck friend!
okay, so i was trying a new rom and i backup my old rom in my USB-OTG.
so after restoring my backup i successfully booted up my device and when i was on lock screen. i try to use my fingerprint and it asked me to insert my PIN so i insert my PIN, but it keep saying WRONG PIN. and i am sure that my PIN is correct !
i tried to get the option to recover my pin using my google account but that option is not coming up ! i tried 100 times !
is there any other way i can reset my pin ?
UPDATE: So just after posting this thread i found this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/psa-twrp-backups-lockscreen-security-t3245070
and it worked ! and problem solved !
Just remember to disable all lockscreen security before you make your backup next time.
Hi,
I need help, my father has a samsung A3 with ROM stock, he knowns 0 about android but he needs phone to work.
He doesn´t have a password code to unlock the phone, but this afternoon, he calls me (with another phone) telling me that suddenly the phone was blocked and he doesn´t knowns the password, he doesn´t put any security code, is like that it appears for "magic". We tried all, i have tried 70 passwords without resoults. I can see the device in android device manager, but i can´t restore the password there. I unlock the SIM but not the phone code.
How can i resolve this?
Any help would be appreciated

Factory reset is probably the only way. This will wipe ALL user data.
Also be aware this may activate Google FRP Lock.
If it does you will need to input the Google sign in details.

You can go to stock recovery and wipe your user data. Otherwise you're out of luck as I guess your data is encrypted.
