They changed the combo to reset it in the newer versions. I don't know what it is though.

Can you try connecting it to a different device? This will reset it if you can do it.
i had the same problem, also messed with odin to try to get rid of the pincode .
i installed oldest software in my language and did the 20 sec reset.
it worked for me, now updating to last version

Hi Alex,
can you explain more specifically what did you do to reset PIN code? I am trying many possibilities with no luck. With ODIN I downloaded the oldest firmware, but 20sec reset mentioned above also didn't work.
Thanks
EDIT: Resolved by flashing like in this article: http://www.addictootech.com/manually-upgrade-samsung-gear-fit-via-pc-odin/
You need BL and CSC files also to reset settings.
i can not get into my samsung gear fit
I played and locked it. I reached here searching for answers how to unlock it. And got successful.
What I did was HOLD the power button. After a few seconds, Display shows Power Off menu. DO NOT release the power button and hold until it restarts. When it booted back the PIN was no there and lucky enough that no data was lost on the watch.
The Software version on my watch is R360XXU1ERC7.
Hope that helps!

you mean pishing once
Click to expand...

if you by this mean that you press the tip of your stylus into the hole in the left part of button of the xda once then yes
then try to turn it on using the turn on / off button
I tried, but it did not turn on, when I put it to cradle led is green, but when I get it out of cradle I do not see any light on led. I tried to power it on pushing that button, but nothing happens
is anybody able to help me?
If it neither works in the cradle or on battery power then I would suspect a component on the charging circuit has died or your battery is kaput, by doing a reset it should switch on automatically.
but holding power button and doing soft reset I could get to wallaby bootloader, so battery does work. any other suggestions?
If holding power and rest works then the power button is functional, have you attempted to flash the xda before this happened? What happens if you push the green telephone button bottom left of your xda? Have you tried a hard reset, using the unscrewed top half of stylus to push once in the tiny hole bottom right of xda, leave for 1 minute then push once more. You will lose all data but your data isnt much good if you cant switch on.
yes, I tried to hard reset it several times, but had no result. now I am trying to wait for several minutes during hard reset. when I press green button - nothing happens. I did not try to flash my XDA before those problems appeared. no it did not turn on even after 5 minutes... :-( please help!!!!
I had installed KSE TrueFax 2 and this power issue happened to me. Could not switch it on at the XDA at all, and had to so a soft-reset to get it to switch on. After I uninstalled the fax sowftware, everything worked okay again.
so you can power phone on pressing button and dping soft reset. yes? what do you see? wallaby bootloader? what to do next to run operational system? I just see 4 color stripes and below GSM OK, that is all, what should I press?
dmjass, it seems to me that you have lost or corrupted your rom, if you havent been flashing the xda its beyond me why this should happen. I would download a new rom, not radio stack, just the rom and use the sd card method of flashing, this should restore your system if the hardware is all ok, you have a working bootloader and an intact gsm stack so give it a try as you have nothing to lose by doing this.
I think trying to do the SD-card ROM update is your best bet as well.
If it turns out that you cannot get your unit running again, I would be interested in purchasing it for testing purposes and replacement parts.
Good luck!

thank you friends for your advices, but please let me know how to perform flashing rom by sd card. I will appreciate all your help, please describe that process in details. ok? thank you.
PDA bad ROM?
I am experiencing the same problem after having dropped it off my belt clip. Now the unit just says "Welcome to T---Mobile, G324e4 // R6.25.02 // 4.01.16 and none of the buttons work except for the boot stylus ones. Can anyone help?
Hi
Unfortunately I was in the middle of upgrading the software to version 172181 when I decided, for some strange reason, to pick the phone up out of the cradle and make a call. DOH!
I can no longer get the phone to boot up / turn on it is just stuck on the low light o2 backscreen and shows
r 1.17.00
g 1337.20
d 1.72.00wwe
Im quite literally just stuck on that screen, the phone wont seem to reset, reboot or hard reset or turn on or off.
I assume im doing the hard reset correctly on/off button and reset button with stylus.
I did see somewhere to use the on/off button, camera button, record button and reset button with stylus but this does not appear to work either.
I don't know whether the condition is terminal or not but anyone can help i would really appreciate it I have a lot of information on there that is very valuable to me.
hi

would you happen to know if there is any way I can manage my contacts from the pc? i searched activesync and there appears to be nothing there. My old motorola bought up kind of a virtual phone on the pc and managing and adding contacts was easy.

It's bcoz the flashing/upgrading/installing of ur fone seems not to be finished. Always follow instruction. If you really want to do something, think twice so you never messed up. nweiz, try to load it again in bootup mode and re-flash it. there are a lot of ROM for the Himalaya, you can download one. Try to search. again, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
Hi, I got this problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445967

Nada...
HTC Verizon Touch Pro..
Question...
Any ideas how to get it into bootloader mode..
I can not access anything via Activesync, BT, USB, etc..
I need to figure out a way to flash it via SD card... But, my HTC Touch Pro does nto seem to have a way to get into bootloader,, just clear storage via the middle button and reset..
Hate to bother you all, and I did try my best first.
have you tried holding the down volume and power
press soft reset
but keep pressing other two until you see bootloader.
X2 for Power and volume down while stylus reset in the bottom. works on Bell, Telus and Sprint that I have done.

I tried that AT LEAST 5 times.. But the volume down seemed a little sticky, so I tried it again, pressing so damn hard I thought I may break it.. (Just to say, ya, I tried it, and i tried it before too.)
Now i feal stupid, it fricken is working...
Thank you!
now step away from the edge...
It just randomly shut off earlier this afternoon. Everytime I try to turn it on with the power button, nothing happens. When I try to boot into TWRP/download mode, it just vibrates and flashes the samsung logo and then goes black. I can't seem to find any information as to what else to try. I don't have a jig and the earliest one would be shipped on amazon is Thursday. Any ideas?
wow, so i had been reading threads for the last hour and finally stumbled upon some guy with the same issue and he figured out it was that his power button was stuck. i just pushed in my power button really hard for about 5 seconds and jiggled it and it finally worked. my phone just turned on as normal after doing that. great, sounds like ANOTHER samsung issue with the power button. this will be my 3rd different samsung device that i've had issues with the power button - a captivate, infuse, and now the note. i send about 20,000 texts a month, so i'm constantly pressing the power button to turn the screen on and off. i will need to look for an app that allows me to use the volume button as the power button hopefully in case this happens again.
I had a samsung tablet that had the bad power button getting stuck too.

Use Flappjaxxx UCLF6 rom....build #5....
It's ICS 4.0.4 with a "bunch " of extras .....volume wake included .....g http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
Theres and app that allows you to swipe your hand across the screen to turn on/off.... Its in the app section.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Be careful using apps that wake your device using homescreen touch or movement .
It generally means that your phone never goes into deep sleep...
And the battery life will be greatly reduced ....as the device technically never turns off ....g

Hello everyone,
we got this cheap tablet for my niece as a Christmas gift. She put a password on it and now she doesnt remember the password. It is connected to one of my gmail accounts, but I cant even get the tablet to give me an option to bypass device password via my gmail and password.
I have attempted to use the reset button to factory reset the device, but every time it reboots it asks for the password again.
I am about to throw the thing in the trash and tell my niece "sorry, you borked it, too bad so sad" but I thought I would try here before I did that.
Thanks in advance!

So I was having the same problem. It turns out that you do not press the volume up button along with the power button, but instead press the volume button in the middle along with the power button. Found that on a you tube video.
That resets the device to factory settings.
Note: If you have a memory card in the device, take it out before you start all this process so it doesn't lose data.
Sophix Tablet is made by digix media but I didn't find their website helpful to reset the password. Their website had me downloading zip files to my computer, etc. Very lengthy and time consuming.
Hope this helps someone else!
