Hard Reset - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello,
So Bassicly i just did something amazingly stupid.
i locked myself out of my phone, i kno call me a noob idc.
anyway i was trying out the face recognition on the device and i did it in a rush so i forgot the backup pin and then i started to use it and got used to it but recently i tried to remove it as it was getting annoying but i needed the pin (wich i typed in randomly because i was in a rush) wich i dont know so i was looking through my apps deleting old onse and i saw a app called face recognition annd stupid me went and disabled it.
AND NOW I CANT UNLOCK MY PHONE!
i tried to do a hard reset but every effort ive tried is not working.
Any help,
Harry Gleed

[Q] Samsung Dive

i know there are threads regarding samsung dive but my question is if the phone is locked via browser can it be unlocked ?
P.S after 3 months of galaxy experience i gave it a try first time
Yes by reflashing it, then using an unlocker. Dive will help you track the phone as long as it is not flash but the moment it is flashed dive is removed.

Why not doing it the correct way and log into your Samsung Dive account and make a new pin if you have forgotten it?
Q: After running the ”Lock My Mobile” function, I found my mobile but I lost my PIN. Can I unlock the mobile without a PIN number?
A: Run the ”Lock My Mobile” function again in the SamsungDive service with a new PIN and cancel the "Lock My Mobile" function with the new PIN.
So samsung DIVE is easy to kill. not sure if its the latest build or not. if my phone gets stolen. if finder gets pass my screen locks and pin numbers they just need to go to accounts and REMOVE samsung account and DIVE is inactivated. NO password required
is this just a retarded miss from Samsung? should i get another lock software?
Have i missed something or is it really that simple to kill DIVE?

[Q]Too many pattern attempts [airplane mode]

Hello,
I had a problem with my Motorola Xoom WiFi.
My girlfriend was playing with my tablet and trying to guess my login pattern .. she tried it too many time until xoom shows:Too many pattern attempts!
Unfortunately sign in via Google account did not worked and WiFi network was turned off.
So I am looking for way how to unlock it without root access or hard reset>> is that possible ?
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp
it has been a day waiting !!
Since Google Sign in didn't work and you don't have root I belive the only thing you can do is hard reset.Or try turning it off (by draining its battery if you don't have another way) and then try to unlock it or Google Sign in.If that fails then proceed to factory reset.

I don't think that emptying battery is a good idea
it tooks 10h while "on play" so what do u think the time that may took when it's just in black screen and no wifi is working?!
I really need a professional or just a simpler way>>
thanks
Did you have usb debugging enabled? If so should be able to reboot your device via adb.
Edit: Also found this... http://matthewhollander.com/locked-out-of-your-android-phone/
Thanks..
Unfortunately I didn't enabled ADB>> So, is that really the end of the road!!

I think I'll give the battery a chance to be empty and try again!
unless I got a new idea
Heeeeeeeelp
no any benefit from emptying battery !!
I don't want to hard rest it !
I'm afraid you don't have a choice. Your out of options. Unless you can some how extract the memory from the device and read it through another system in order to back it up.

Help - Not sure what happened?

Hey guys, so i am new here, and new to the whole flashing...i have a SGN I717, that i left for my cousin to use while i was away (it was unlocked to work with mobilicity here in Toronto). Not sure what he did or tried to the phone, however when i got back it's just not working properly, it randomly freezes, and i keep getting messages, when i open apps; for example:
- when i open the camera i get a message saying "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
- when i open my contact list, there is a delay for about 10 seconds, then the window will close and i will get the same the process androind.process.acore has stopped unexpected...
And randomly on the home screen this message will pop up: " The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
Below all of these messages will be the option to force close...
Also for some reason it no longer recognises or works with my mobilicity sim.
Any help is hugely appreciated, i really need to get my phone working, now that i am back.
I have no idea what happened, can someone kindly walk me thru, what i need to do here.
Thanks a million in advance.
Have you tried a factory reset on it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Going to try that now...
Not sure if this will help; but i checked under the about phone tab, and the android version is 2.3.6, the baseband version T989UVKL1, Kernel version 2.6.35.11, and build number is GINGERBREAD.UCLA1
Also, if i do a factory reset would that undo the "unlocking" (for lack of a better word) that allowed it to work on mobilicity?
Do you remember what those fields said when you have it to him? Also was it rooted or was it stock aside from unlocking?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
No unfortunately i can't recall what they said before i left it with him.
As far as i recall, it was stock, it was unlocked, and i believe the guy did something in terms of the AWS antenna to get it to work with the mobilicity network
I'm on AT&T but from what I'm seeing online it looks like your baseband and stuff is right.. Im guessing he probably deleted something he shouldn't have hence all your errors.. Do you have superuser or ROM manager in your app drawer?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Yup under my applications tab i am seeing a few things that weren't there before; there is Quick Boot, ROM Manager (when i opened this app if said: You must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found...), and there is also another app Titanium backup, that i don't being there when i last used the phone. Besides those three apps, i think everything else was there before.
Ok before you factory reset goto the market and download superuser(just the free one) and an app called root check.. Let's make your sure you still have root..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Tried downloading superuser..got an error : "Superuser could not be downloaded due to an error (492)"
And basically the same thing for root checker
Ok.. Well after some more reading you had to have root to install the radio after you had it unlocked.. Point is resetting it won't delete root worse comes to worse you may have to reflash the radio..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
So go ahead with the factory reset? And then i would have to reflash the radio?
Forgive what i imagine is a very noobish question...but how would i go about reflashing the radio?
I wouldn't reflash the radio unless you don't get any reception.. If it comes to that I'll tell you but just try the reset for now and see if that gets rid of all the force closes....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, just went ahead with the reset, will let you know when it's done.
Thanks so much
Is it supposed to take this long...its been going for more than 5 mins, and during the reset process, i continue getting the force close messages
The phone is still on? It hasn't cycled off and back on yet?

Ammm something is wrong here, its still on, saying Performing factory reset

there's always the odin 1 click ICS leak. can't get simpler than that.
This is true but if he has to go that route is he going to have to have it unlocked again to use it on mobilecity? I'm on AT&T so im not familiar with unlocking..

[SGS3] very deep sleep and cant wake up

I am not sure this was posted or not, however if it has, please point me to the right direction as I am not able to find it.
Situation:-
Using the phone as per normal. It auto lock or manual lock it. Wanna unlock/wake up the phone it doesnt. This happened once in awhile not sure when as unable to determine the cause as sometimes running a game and I lock it and sometimes lock it without running anything i.e. back to home. To wake up, I reboot the phone by long pressing on/off button. Was using CheckRom ICS... And at one occurance the phone really died on me and unable to reboot no matter what I did. Sent in to SC and got back a new Motherboard.
Now it is happening again. Now in JB 4.1.2 (OmegaRom). The phone just fell in to a deep sleep and cant wake up unless I reboot the phone. I hope I dont get the forever slumber/sudden death situation again.
Anyone can give guidance or advise on how to check what is the matter or anyone having the same experience?
Flash back to stock and check if it occurs. If it does use triangle away and send it back in mate

Even I love my s3 but I love note 2 even more and I am buying a note 2....the main reason I am selling it is if it conk out one day here in India it's very difficult to claim warranty we really need to slug it out with Samsung India and I don't have the time or patience to do that...

happened to me too
I don't recall it happened to me while using stock touchwiz roms.
However, since I've moved to AOSP roms (first AOKP M1 and then JellyBam), it happened to me 3 or 4 times now.
Do you get it also on touchwiz roms? Which OmegaRom are you using?
Wich kernel are using my mates? Maybe that is problem, combination firmware and kernel...
Regards
using latest OmegaRom... as mentioned... first happened in CheckROm and even in Wanam...
Was using siyah kernel... so now testing Perseus and see wtr this happened or not...
Just happened when I have monster warlord running and locked it.. when I unlock... it happened again... must be something like not enuf ram or went into deep sleep... very strange indeed. Nevertheless change to Perseus to test out different kernel for now...

If u sell a broken phone,that is such a douchebag move no offence to u but really i wud feel sorry for the man u sold it..

Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en and post the screenshot. It might be SDS
Same happened with my phone. Go to see what it's up to and suddenly its not responding. The only option is to hold power down until it reboots.
It would also do it on in coming calls and managed to delete a text which arrived shortly before it froze.
Hoped upgrading to the latest firmware would help, didn't. Going without root, nope. Freezing apps in Titanium, still no joy.
Finally this morning I had enough and went for a full wipe. Very little installed but no problems since.
Would suggest doing the same, especially if you plan to sell the phone anyway.

Have the same problem with mine, using the latest wanam stock rom and every now and again the phone will either just restart or lock with the screen off (led notification will keep blinking however).
Just trying the official Vodafone rom now through Odin. If this doesn't solve it I think the phone will have to go back.
To note: issue appeared after installing some root apps. Notably adfree and beats drivers. Anybody else have either installed?

When did it happen? Was it around Wednesday last week? Just thinking that maybe an updated app or something?
I have now updated again using kies with the official 4.1.2. I have no problems with restarts when using the stock apps. I have however had issues with the google servers and now believe this to have been the main reason for the crashes earlier (Christmas new phone activation traffic?).
Out of interest, have you been running adfree or the beats audio driver? I had mine working all day yesterday, installed both and then the hangs started coming back again.
Also worth noting that adfree now states that a newer version is available when loading up, but non exists (that i know of?)

I do run AdFree, and yeah, I saw the notice about the new version - it's a different app entirely... still called AdFree, uninstall the old one, and install the new one. Not sure why they did that.
I'm at a loss - I just reinstalled XELL4, and it's still doing it. Short of doing a full wipe and starting afresh (which I really can't be bothered with), I don't know what else to try. Was working fine up until now.

Bypassing pattern screen lock

Hey guys,
I have a device which i need to unlock (screen pattern lock).
I have no details regarding it's google account/PIN or any other method that allows unlocking it without using the pattern.
I tried downloading aroma file manager that allows access to the password file and delete it, but when i tried to install the aroma manager (through recovery, from an sd card) i keep getting these errors:
e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
is there any way to solve this?
i can't access the device, so i can't enable debugging mode and things like that...is there any solution, besides wiping everything back to factory settings?
thanks!
This sounds fishy, why do you have no clue as to what the Google account/pin is?

because i found the device on the street...i want to find the owners to return it (find a relevant phone number in the contacts or something), but i can't unlock the phone....obviously since it's not mine i have no details about any accounts on it.
if i wanted to take it and use it i would just reset it, but i don't want to do that...
Congratz, now it's even more fishy. Give the phone to local authorities and rest, hero. "assuming ur story was real"

We have no proof of what you say, and its easy to lie on the internet. Also any way to help you will result in all data being deleted... Return the phone to the local authorities.
Also, lollipop implemented wipe protection so wipes will leave the the phone locked as well...
I actually have the same question. My brother passed away a year ago. His s4 is locked but I want to save his pictures that he has on there, so factory reset is NOT an option. Please help

Take it to the Verizon store, they should be able to help you in your circumstances. Just prove that you are his brother. BTW if this is true, I'm sorry you lost your brother

Thank you very much
Verizon will not help you at all and can not help you at all.
The local authorities are always useless.
The only way to bypass is with a nowipe tar. If you don't know what that is it's probably too much of a PITA to attempt.
