hello all,
i imported a phone from UK and the person i bought it from was dump enough to put a pattern lock on the phone, i tried contacting him but he is very stupid to answer the call. Is there any way through which i can hard reset the phone or do anything to get over the passcode?
i don't have the guys email id and password due to obvious reasons.
You could go into recovery mode and wipe data/cache basically factory resetting the phone.
Get into recovery by powering off the phone and pressing the following volume down+home+power.

Try flashing a stock Rom with Odin.
Have a look for the guides in these forums.

Wouldn't help as settings and setup don't get changed so pattern security would still be intact.

I went into the recovery by holding volume up+home button+power key and wiped data, now everything is good

Its not always the same case, stolen phones can be tracked in a glimpse and no one would want to go there

Well I gave him the benefit of the doubt plus if it is stolen they'll just report it stolen and the imei will be blocked and then it's a fancy paper weight.

Lol, changing an imei is not very hard. But anyway he would have found the trick.

It's hard for someone who doesn't know how to get around a pattern lock
mikep99 didn't help a burglar, because everything he said could be found if the OP had spent 5 minutes searching the forums. The answer for everything is here already. Sometimes one needs to add 1 + 1, but the answer is there.

No bumping after 81 minutes. Absolutely positively not allowed. A really good way to get your thread ignored completely & not get any help whatsoever.

LOVVL we cannot understand your post .
Are you asking should you repair it that's your choice .to make
If you are saying is it worth a repair or have you done more damage only a service centre can say .

Return it to the vendor unless its you that broke it .

Basically I rooted it, flashed cwm and then when I tried to flash a rom, the installation failed so I just decided to reboot the phone. It was at that point that it just wouldn't turn back on, not even into recovery. I did get a new one though

If it beeps when connected, it is on. I guess the AMOLED Screen broke.
