reflash.
In case you never read this anywhere, you should NEVER do a Ti Restore of system + data, EVER, unless you backed up on the same exact ROM. None the less, I'd avoid doing that as it always causes wierd ones if you manage to avoid any severe ones.
thanks for the reply ive added a few extras but was having issues with 3g conections and web in general whilst out and about so restored back to stock from a backup i made
is there any custom roms avalible which are more for the uk phones as it was telling me i was roaming due to it being based on an at&t rom lol

So I have had this issue with my phone today where I couldn't seem to get passed the Too many pattern attempts screen.
After trying all my combinations of e-mail and passwords, I was unable to access my phone. As a result, I attempted to do a hard reset (the pressing of both volume rockers and then trying to reset it in that recovery mode).
I did so, wiping all my data, but the too many pattern attempts screen remained. So as a result, I booted up Odin and downloaded the stock versions of the Samsung Fascinate's ROM and proceeded to reflash (or what I believe to be reflashing, I simply followed the directions found in the stickies).
That all said and done, my phone still remains in the too many pattern attempts lock.
I've checked the similar posts on a couple of websites, but was unable to find a situation where all of these fixes did not work.
Thank you!
No replies yet, so I am just going to throw this out there on the off chance that it *might* actually work.
The "complete voodoo lagfix removal" uninstall.zip CWM flash seems to be working as a cure-all for just about whatever may ail your phone, whether you actually *have* voodoo or not...
I would check that out in the OP of this thread.
Download the Voodoo Uninstall on your PC. Copy it to your SDcard (if you don't have a computer that you can put the card in after pulling it out of your phone, try using adb to push it to the phone)
Boot into stock recovery, and flash "update.zip" to get into CWM recovery.
Flash that voodoo uninstall zip using CWM.
I really hope this helps. (Just in case it happens to me. )
Let us know!
I work for flextronics. we see this all the time. it's a known issue that the lock screen doesn't reset with a factory wipe. just call the phone, answer and press the home screen button. it's what we do in store

This is more than likely living in /dbdata . You can wipe that by doing a privacy wipe in settings (requires access to the phone), or flash CWM via odin, and then when in recovery, rm -r /dbdata/ and reboot.
If the phone-call / home button thing else_where posted works, obviously go that route, then do a privacy wipe.

you will more than likely need to mount the /dbdata partition r/w before you can delete the data. This is covered in the Voodoo removal thread (which I had the joy of doing).

Hey guys thanks for all the help,
The calling of the phone didn't work. Tried it, but it kept giving me corrupt errors so I wasn't able to access the home screen.
The voodoo removal sort of worked in that while I was doing it, I also went ahead and did a privacy wipe. Everything would be fine and dandy however, my phone no longer connects to any network. It seems to be in a perpetual state of being unable to find a network. It's not airplane mode, but my phone does think it's January first 2005 again.
Did I miss a step?

You did the privacy wipe from within the settings menu ???? That fixed a similar issue where I couldn't connect to the network

Yes indeed I did. The first thing I did was the Factory data reset.
Unfortunately, the phone seems to be in a state of perpetual ariplane mode preventing access to any network.
The phone also seems to be suffering from that com.android.phone crashes that I suppose make sense given how the Hardware version and the Baseband version are both unknown.
I'm going to try to flash it again in hopes of resetting my phone. The perpetual airplane mode is of course an issue. (but at least I got the alarm functinoality of my phone back)
Hrm, I'm concerned now. Check your settings / about phone and baseband version. Please tell me it does not say 'unknown'.
Yea, mine wasn't stuck in airplane mode, just didn't connect to google's servers to set up gmail.
If you're still rooted, maybe try the radio update ????
Any update ????

DANGER! - Don't go updating your radio unless you really know what you're doing. Yes there has been a radio update with the D01 however flashing the wrong thing to the radio will result in a shiny brick that as of right now can't be recovered!
Yeah I was seeing a bunch of unknowns in a lot of my slots.
I wasn't sure what was wrong, so I did some more research and it seemed as though that the modem aspect of my phone must have corrupted.
So I simply went to a verizon store and swapped out my phones (since I couldn't find a fixed modem).
The other fix of deleting via the privacy wipe definitely worked though.
Thanks everyone!
i500 fascinate too many patterns
what I did I turn the phone off
then turn it on ones the one verizon animation goes of it asks for the email and pass so start hitting home button as fast as you can and sometimes emergency button till it takes you to the main many do not stop till al the icons load up
then you got it but you have to go in to the menu and wipe it off or erease the email account
it worked for me after few tries it shoulg work for you too

Respectfully I have to disagree. Sharing a new solution to an old problem cannot be a bad thing. maybe 6+ months from now it will save someones bacon without having to start a new thread for it

i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

do post back the results i had the same problem long time ago, but factory reset solved it
for now its ok, but IDK how long.
Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

I recently installed Android Version 4.0.3
Baseband version I777UCPLC5
Build Number IML74K.CPLC5 on my phone
My phone does not go into lock screen mode any more! Can anyone help me with this?
I tried setting changing the modes to face recognition, pin number etc., but it still doesn't go into the lock screen mode!
Please Help!
I had this issue yesterday, I think. Try reflashing your ROM without a wipe. That fixed it for me.
Thanks! i will try doing it!

need basic info :
MODEL
ROM (the ones you tested with)
KERNEL
THEME USED IF ANY
OC Y/N
UV Y/N
and everything that could help us to know what happens exactly
[email protected]
PS: try a factory reset, formating SDcard, and a SEUS restore (all data will be lost) and do NOT restore any backup : backups always contain old bugs

OK so ummm its a x10 mini pro u20i
with cm7 2.2.0 but this glitch happens with all roms except ICS
it happens when i have locked my phone about 20 times, and when i restart my phone it goes back to normal, and if i repeatedly lock my phone, the more the screen screws up
ive tried all that still nothing kernel is Naa kernel the latest on number 11 is it? and tbh i cant remember if it happened with my old kernel, ummm ive tried changing themes but i only use the cm7 themes, GO LAUNCHER is what im using, it happens with al different launchers, it doesnt happen when i newly update my rom, it happens after a day or two, i dont know which program it is that screws it up, and tbh i dont have much time to actually be testing cause i need all my apps atm, i cant believe im the only one having this problem well i think im the only one
your not the only one pal, my misses had the same issue for quite a while. where the status / notifications bar would just hover somewhere around half the screen and you would have to pull it up a thousand times for it to f**k off.
she was only on stock rooted. and tbh i fixed it by flashing minicm7 yesterday.... not what you wanted to hear though eh?
i tried to see if i could find a screen calibrator app to try reset the screen but my quick search turned up nothing as she was still on 2.1 or 2.2.1??
if i was you i would try find a calibrator app and see if you have any luck with it.
good luck
My fingerprint reader stopped working, i am using the latest neutrino ROM, i tried to back up and restore but nothing seems to work. I don't want to restore my device completely and loose my unread messages and files. Is there a way to remove the fingerprint lock.. so i can use my phone ? Is there a way to unlock my phone without the fingerprint ?

Clear data in true suite. If that doesn't work, backup with tibu, even system data the reflash and restore your txts and files that way.
I asked the same question in the CM forum months ago, but it seems that there still are not any easy solutions till now.
Yeah i ended up clearing everything. ;/ i was hoping for some command line instructions on removing the lock screen
