So, dumb self made a pattern that I don't remember. So my Vibrant is at the Too Many Pattern Attempts screen. I've tried to wipe the phone using vol up and down plus power but that doesn't remove the too many attempts screen at all. The only gmail account that I hooked up to my phone keeps telling me that something is incorrect yet I can log in to my gmail fine from my computer... What can I do? I tried to do Odin, but vol down plus power does nothing on my phone. It just continuously power cycles... When I boot into the recovery screen I can use Odin but it just hangs at checking files... Any suggestions?
Do you have coverage? Maybe the Google verification can't connect. It always worked on my myTouch and once on the Vibrant.

Tmobile Galaxy S pattern locked out, can't root
I just bought my first Android device, the Samsung Galaxy S from Tmobile from the US (I live in China) last week. I have only used it a few days and my girlfriend thought the pattern lock would be a fun game to play. Result - locked out. I have the same problems as in the below thread:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4784
I tried the receive a phone call then hammer the home key; emergency call and go to search and many of these type fixes; however none have gotten me through. It seems they fixed the security problem here but didn't fix the username password problem as I'm sure the credentials I entered are correct and I have data service.
After giving up on these methods I tried doing a hard reset. BTW, on this model you must hold down volume up AND down buttons at the same time, then press the power button to get the reset screen.
I have cleared user data etc, but when I try to reset the phone I get the error message "setup.zip not found".
I understand that I now need to root the phone, so I tried the method explained here but without having access to the phone I need to load this setup.zip file on the SD (not the one with Avatar).
http://samsungvibranthacks.com/samsung-vibrant-hacks/how-to-root-samsung-vibrant-galaxy-s/
I already installed Kies (has Outlook sync functionality!) on my desktop so that I can access the internal memory as an external drive. However the phone's USB mode must be set to (it will prompt whenever I connect) to Kies mode. However since I am locked out of the phone I can't tell the phone to get into Kies mode, therefore cannot access the internal memory, therefore cannot load setup.zip, therefore cannot root, therefore cannot get past the pattern lock screen = useless phone.
I need to root the phone anyway so I can load a few Asian IME's that didn't come with the phone so don't mind playing with this, but since I'm new to Android it may be a while before I can get through since most root instructions either require access to the internal memory via my computer or access to the phone (past the pattern lock).
If I offer to make a paypal donation could I summon the help of one of the more experienced Android gods that frequent this forum that can help me get through this?
To use odin you need to get into download mode not recovery mode (Volume Down+ Power) but since for some reason that wont work for you, you will have to do something involving the android sdk do you know how to use it?

On one or two tries, when the device was attached to my laptop I got a yellow on black downloading screen but had no idea what it meant. How does this help me root it? In general the volume down+plus power button didn't do anything but reboot it.
I just downloaded the SDK last night for the last time and haven't succeeded in installing it so have still got a bit of learning to go before I can make it useful.
I have the phone back in my hand now so adding some details:
Holding volume up and down and the same time, then pressing powere gets me to the "Android system recover <2e>" screen with four options:
Reboot system now
reinstall packagages
delete all user data
delete cache data
I've tried all and none will get me out of the username/password screen after reboot. If I select "reinstall packages" it says:
E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
Hi All.
I hope someone can help me. I encountered this stupid problem:
I have a L31 device and successfully installed the Nougat (test?)update through Firmware Finder. But since this wasn't the definitive update, I decided to rollback to MM. I installed the C900B300 rollback package and then the B160 package. That went well, BUT the device now refused to activate the Google services. I couldn't enter a Google account. Not from Settings > Accounts and not from any other Google app like Chrome, Play Store, Gmail or others. The screen just kept returning to the Homescreen.
Upon checking About this device, I noticed the version now was C900B160, instead of the expected C432B160. I am very positive I used the C432B160 MM package to flash. This I did with the three button method. But then how come it still showed C900B160?
So I first tried to reflash the C432B160 with the three button method. Flashing worked well, but the problem wasn't solved. Still no Google activation and still the same C900B160 number.
So then I decided to reflash the rollback package...
That turned out to be a mistake... After flashing that (and it did show 100% successfull after flashing) the device is bricked. The Huawei logo shows and then nothing happens. The logo stays in the screen. I can't even turn the device off. Short pressing the ON-OFF button does nothing and long pressing just restarts the logo and nothing more.
I tried to reflash the MM update C432B160 with the three button technique, but that doesn't work anymore!! Entering erecovery with the volume up and ON-OFF also doesn't work anymore!! The only thing that works is Fastboot when connected to a pc. That screen shows phone (and bootloader) is locked, by the way. So I can't flash boot.img and recovery.img .
Has anybody encountered such problems and knows what to do now?? Thanks guys!

With fastboot method, unlock bootloader again. Flash recovery. Boot into recovery. Wipe system and boot. Flash stock boot IMG and recovery IMG. Power off. Use dload. Now you are in bootloop. When booting press vol up 3 seconds, on e-recovery press shutdown. Press and hold power and vol up. Go to stock recovery, do factory reset.

Trouble is that I can't unlock te bootloader, because I do not know my Product ID and I can't look it up, since I don't have a dialer... The HuaweiProductIDGenerator doesn't help. I tried several codes with it, but none worked.

No, I can only get into fastboot when connected to a pc.
OK. gtdaniel was so kind to provide me with an unlock code. THANKS!
But, I don't seem te be able to use it...
I can put the phone in bootloader when connected to a pc. When I type "fastboot devices" I do get the correct serial number. But when I type "fastboot oem unlock 343...338" I get a FAILED (remote: command not allowed).
It seems this is because I never could allow OEM unlocking from the Android settings menu. But since my phone is bricked, I can not enter into that menu!
Does anybody know how to solve this??

at command line when u write adb devices u got your phone ?
Maybe is dump question but did you install adb android driver ?
I'm pretty sure that someone wrote in thread that you don't need to have this oem permission in android if you are in fastboot

Yes, that's what I read too. Since I can't change that permission anymore while I can't start Android, I can't unlock. Dammit.
Is DC Unlocker my only option then? It seems their software can do it.
I'm afraid I've got some pretty bad news. Last week the same thing happened to me after I was THAT stupid to actually try and flash the rollback package for the second time. My phone got bricked just like yours, and NOTHING worked to fix it. I tried completely everything I could find on the net and XDA, and in the very end I was forced to bring it in for warranty repairs. Even they COULD NOT fix it and the phone ended up with the entire logicboard changed with a completely new one. I was lucky that it all was done under warranty. Will never do anything as stupid as that!
Really hope you find a fix somehow, but if not, the repair service is your only solution, because otherwise the phone is as good as dead.

my phone is also reedy to send to service. I have a lot of phone with android but no rom make so many damage to my phone, like this fc** rollback. finger cross, because huawei service in my country without warranty,takes for new motherboard 175 $ . I bought phone for 233 $ with 3 gb ram..... This will be harsh and pay(in)ful lesson for me.

Uhh, I am sorry to hear that. But yes, I had the same harsh lesson. They will be forced to changed the motherboard too, cause even they won't be able to re-flash the whole system. Though, what I did to have the warranty not declined, is I brought the phone to the service and said that - "The phone received and OTA update through the updater, I didn't look much into it and just went with it, pressed on update and everything seemed well. It worked until the moment where it installed and restarted, and now the phone is stuck on Huawei logo and you can't possibly do anything with it, not even turn it off." - and that's it. They will have to repair it under warranty because there is no proof left that you had rooted it or done any other installations not authorized by Huawei.
Best of luck!

I know that i read somewhere how to manage to this oem lock. I was 50 % right.
https://forum.dc-unlocker.com/forum...61751-huawei-mate-9-mha-l29-erase-frp-problem
Some user got the same problem that you have and flash boot.
But truly if u don't have "your device has been unlock" only bootloop on huawei logo, is more simple to send it back to warranty and play dump.
I have now "your device is unlock" and i pray for miracle.

I am exactly in the same situation with the difference that I don't have Fasboot! How do you get to Fastboot? Mine hangs on the screen that says the phone is unlocked and the device is booting... Vol+/Vol- and Power doesn't boot into Fastboot and my minimal ADB doesn't recognize the phone in the stages that it hangs...
---------- Post added 16th April 2017 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 15th April 2017 at 11:52 PM ----------
I have the same situation. I tried everything, Three button method, letting the battery run out completely, Vol+ and Power, Vol- and Power, connected to PC, not connected to PC. Every time I disconnect the charger, and reconnect it starts from 0. I read some other people here have the same problem. Send it to warranty and explain your rollback process unlocked the bootloader somehow (I mean the phone does do a lot of sh*ty sh*t, so this shouldn't seem very odd as well!!!) and hope that you get a repair/replacement and after that sell it on ebay hoping some stupid people like us in the first place will buy it and spend your money on a phone more reliable!
I managed to access the fastboot using the 3 button method in cold boot. Hold the Power key until the screen goes off and then release and hold down the Vol- key and immideately connect the usb cable to PC right before it vibrates or exactly when it vibrates (it's a matter of timing), and bingo you are in fastboot and you can flash system.img, recovery.img, cust.img, cache.img and boot.img from there, but this is not how I revived my phone. I used the 3 button method again when the phone was charged for like half an hour or so and the did the same cold boot trick and I could boot into the force upgrade environment (strangely this still didn't work whitout connecting the usb cable to PC), but it somehow didn't want to read the UPDATE.APP that I had in dload folder on my SD card and wanted to have it from my PC (I just felt it nad there was no indication of it ) so then I installed the DC Phoenix tool and payed 15 euros to be able to inject the complete UPDATE.APP to my bricked phone and the installation went well to 99% and failed, but I rebooted the phone and I could boot normally. Just to make sure I did a factory reset afterwards. Hope this helps.
Cannot get into Bootloader
Hey there!
Essentially as stupid as I am i flashed the Rollback Image at Android 6.0 too, because i wanted to get rid of C900. So now my phone is stuck in the Startup screen too. As mentioned here, I wanted to unlock bootloader again; The Button combination does not work, and if I want to start in bootloader via ADB, it just says "waiting for device"
i am really desperate and i don't know what i should do now
Thanks for the help
EDIT: Somehow managed to got it into Bootloader. At the moment i am unlocking it. Where do i get TWRP and the needed things? Please help, i'm just some noob who doesn't know how it's done
EDIT2: Solved, got Stock Recovery Re-installed, Flashed with the Force Update Method the Main Package of the Rollback (so not the temp rollback data), and worked. But Still C900 and no Google sign-in possible. Someone know how to solve?

BLN-L24N - Honor 6x
Sooo, I have the same problem , here's my story. Please help I've resorted to using a SGH-T599N... Its embarrassing... I'd almost rather have an iPhone...
So Little ol' me was messing around/ deleted google play services/ reboot to twrp to recover but device ended up bricked. At the time, still able to access fastboot. I flashed recovery and firmware. I then tried dload roll back method and when it cleared the phone bootloader locked. So I unlocked bootloader again but when device re-booted the following screen came up and still remains:
" ' Your device has been unlocked and cant be trusted. ' -- ' Your device is booting now... ' " (No options are available.)
I eventually tried to restart to fastboot or erecovery BUT Everytime I try to power down the device, it tries to power up again but needs to charge for a minute before trying to boot itself back up. .(even after being on the charger for hours this happens). The problem with that is I can't get into fastboot or force dload because it automatically starts itself/ has to be plugged in until it turns back on. (Yes i've tried button mashing/ button holding/ etc. did not help)
How do I get the phone to charge, without it booting up? I have a feeling that if I can get it to start (without it first having to charge) I can get it to fastboot/ or erecovery. I have already tried to let the battery COMPLETELY drain.
Outside of that, I know the whole roll back and dload stuff. Currently it flashes the honor logo screen and then sits at "Your device is booting now..."
Bootloader is unlocked
OH! I should clarify, it boots on its own. I've tried disconnecting the battery, having it on the charger without the
battery. With the battery, Starting phone up by re-connecting the battery. No positive results
I'm about to start messing around with firmware flashing utilities, I just don't know of any. I wish there was a way to flash without being in fastboot mode. (I know very little of perl/python/linux, but I am a quick learner if you point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance

So on ny phobe the mainboard is dead so i guess the internal storage is corrupted
I need to change that and i guess you need too...
It's not so expensive(like 40$ for my phone)

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G that goes into the following loop for two days:
boots up, waits for me to unlock the phone through the draw pattern, I unlock the phone, "Phone Starting" pops up, phone starts, I am able to navigate the phone and phone apps for something like 20 seconds and then it freezes.
Model Number: SM-A528B/DS
The firmware shown in recovery mode is the following: A528BXXS1CVI6
Why I am trying all this
This is my wife's phone. I thought she was backing up photos through google photos and she told me that she was doing it. Unfortunately, she was only uploading them on the local app and the backup was not working since her storage was full for several months. So, if there is a way to access her stuff from any Operating System please let me know. The problem, I think, is that I can't without unlocking the phone (of course).
Note
If I don't unlock the phone, the phone does not freeze but of course, I cannot do anything. Therefore, I suspect it is some thread that starts by default as soon as the phone is unlocked.
What I tried
I tried the following things:
Remove the SD/SIM card tray (just because it was easy)
I tried to boot my phone in Safe mode. I correctly entered in safe mode, the third-party apps were disabled but then the phone froze again.
I connected the phone to a laptop (running Ubuntu 22.04) and entered in recovery mode. Once in recovery mode, I tried basically all the options without any luck so far:
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB:
I tried to download a firmware for my phone and then send it through ADB with the following command
`$ ./adb sideload ~/Downloads/A525FXXS4CVK4_A525FOXM4CVJB_HUI.zip`
and I got stuck at
`serving: '/PATH_TO/Downloads/A525FXXS4CVK4_A525FOXM4CVJB_HUI.zip' (~0%)" `
I don't know why
I did not try "Apply update from SD Card" yet
I did not try "Wipe data/factory reset" yet
I tried "Mount /system" but it got me the following error:"Error updating for slotselect"
I tried "Repair apps"
I tried "Run Graphics test"
I tried "Run Locale test"
I tried and then did "./adb reboot recovery" to test that I was able to reboot through adb and it did reboot the phone indeed.
Let me know if you have any ideas on what to try next.
Having a similar issue right here, please notify me what you did afterwards and if you managed to solve it
I am in the same situation and same try outs. Only one slight different. Phone does not start at all. Only "SAMSUNG" and "powered by android" logos. Then starts to bootloop again.
Did you find a solution?
@minidiable did you try to flash with Odin? You should have a try using CSC that avoid erasing data.
In any case, I'm coming back here to give my result after several try-outs and finally going to a Samsung Center.
My phone, entering in recovery mode, had from the begining a message at the bottom saying " E:[libfs_mgr]Error updating for slotselect ".
At Samsung Service Center they told me that this error may probably warn about motherboard failure. And after tearing down the phone and checked it, they changed the moterhboard. Sadly, All data lost. That's all.
I have a Pixel 4 that failed to update.
I have not made any modifications to this device and was using it in its stock environment, I guess that the battery ran out during the update.
The device is in a bootloop state and I can invoke the bootloader menu, but the bootloader is locked and the fastboot command is not available.
Recovery appears to be corrupted and when I try to open recovery get a bootloop.
For these reasons, neither the method of using the fastboot command nor the method of using adb sideload
to perform an OTA update can be used.
Below is the device information.
Product revision: flame MP1.0(JPN)
Bootloader version: c2f2-0.3-7376653
Baseband version: g8150-00088-210507-B-7345963
I realize that this device is usually a non-recoverable scenario, but I would like to know if there is a way to recover it.
Appreciate all support and suggestions. Thanks.
The only thing you might try is select Rescue Mode from the bootloader menu, then try the Pixel Repair Tool. However, I believe this depends on working recovery, so it's very possible you are out of options - the device is not recoverable.
Thanks for the reply.
My Pixel does not allow me to start Rescue Mode and when I try to start Rescue Mode/Recovery Mode from the menu, it goes back to bootloop.
I contacted Google Support yesterday and they told me to force reboot the device 7 times, which I did and the no Commands screen appeared. However, I release the button at the wrong time, it goes back to the boot loop.
Also,it is difficult to distinguish between the boot loop and the forced restart by the button, and I have not been able to reproduce it since then.
However, does the fact that the no Commands screen appears mean that recovery is partially working?
I would appreciate your findings.
Thanks again for your reply.
