[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
Carrier: Verizon

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 4gLTE 32gb

Model Number: SCH-I535

OS: stock

My friend entered the pattern-swipe password too many times, which made my GS3 lock up and force me "To unlock, sign in with [my] Google account". So, I did that many times to no avail. I tried all 3 of my gmail accounts even though I know which one specifically that associated with the google play account as I had bought an application a few weeks back and found the receipt of that app in my main email. Next, I changed the passwords to all the accounts and tried them again. Then after that I changed all my passwords to strictly numerical passwords so my passwords had no letters in them as I thought perhaps my phone was auto-capitalizing the first letter of my password -- didn't work. I've turned my phone on and off multiple times, taken out the batter and sim card multiple times as well. Also, it's important to note that I attempted to log in with and without the domain name: "emailaddress" and "emailaddress@gmail.com" and that I assume the Wi-Fi is turned off due to the fact that manually turned it off since I was on a cruise at the time that was charging $23 per every half hour of internet... I also turned off the data inside the scroll down menu and then turned on airplane mode; however, I was able to turn off airplane mode via holding down my power button and clicking on the airplane mode button. I'm pretty sure that the data is on now, at least when I try to type in my password.

I called google: the woman told me to turn my phone on and off and to make sure I had the right password -- she was clueless

I talked to Samsung online: they told me that Verizon had unlock codes...

William: As you are unable to unlock the device with the Google account details , please contact the carrier for assistance

William: As the unlock codes are provided by the carrier

William: You can contact Verizon support at 1-888-466-4646.

I called Verizon and they said they can do a factory reset and don't have any such "unlock codes"

I've tried to access the phone with Samsung Kies, but it says that I need to unlock the phone first.

I tried accessing the phone through the my computer folder, but there's nothing inside the SCH-I535 folder.

I right clicked and looked at the properties of the SCH-I535 folder and there was no information provided (not even the file size of the harddrive).

I right clicked and tried to import movies and photos and I couldn't do that.

I tried having someone call me (I can receive calls) and quickly pressing the menu button to try to get into the phone -- that didn't work.

So yeah, I can't get into my phone.

I want to at least be able to retrieve my photos/videos from the family vacation I just went on. Is there a way to salvage them? (I didn't set up dropbox or any backup service for that matter) Does verizon backup assistant plus backup information on your phone without you having to set it up? Is the password that I need to supply the same one as my gmail password?

How can I fix this?

Someone save me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caslca:
not sure if doable, but I'd try booting into the recovery menu. It usually is done by holding a combination "volume-down + home +power" or "v-up+-home+_power". Once you get there, one of the options should be factory reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Wow! You've done everything. Possibly changing the password made the situation worse? It wasn't letting you in regardless. Wow... sucks about your pictures and videos... god damn thing. God damn friend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sasquatch080:
If you're completely stock, factory reset from settings, privacy should get you back to the set up wizard or whatever its called. If rooted and custom recovery is installed, boot in to recovery and do a restore or data factory reset. Anything on your SD card should be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
Also, I should note that my goal here is to recover my pictures/videos. I do know that the factory reset is an option; however, that wouldn't allow me to retrieve my photos/videos as my 32g stock verizon galaxy s3 didn't come with an sd card, nor did I insert one, so all the pictures and videos are saved onto the harddrive.

Do you guys know if the harddrive is partitioned so that photos/videos are saved in the event of a factory reset?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
When you connect it to your computer it should bring up a "Phone" drive, Inside that there should be a folder with all of your pictures and videos. Are you not seeing that at all?

And no, if you factory reset you will lose everything on the internal sdcard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xrock80:
Check your Google accounts. Every now and then, they get hacked or spammed and Google will lock them. Check the account online and perhaps re-set your password. If that doesn't work... you may be hosed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
There is a "phone" drive that pops up as "SCH-I535", and inside of this drive there are 0 items. When I look at the properties the only info it gives me are:

model name

manufacturer

firmware version

serious number

battery life percentage

Yeah, nothing really useful in there.

Thanks for the clarification on the factory reset; I have a feeling that's what I'll have to end up doing :[
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
can you odin CWM in then backup stuff through there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
I already changed the passwords multiple times to test that out :[
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mwep:
Did you happen start start Google + ? If so, then it should have stored your photos/videos in your Google + account.

Otherwise; I think you have to reset...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
Looking into it right now. If you have any threads you know about for my phone please let me know. Thanks ^^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
I can't. For some reason I cannot find 2 files I need:

Blank System.img.tar

or

Rooted System.img.tar

Does anyone know where I can find these files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgmorris:
When I originally did my phone I used the rooted stock image image (root66) found here. The original non-rooted images are available in a different thread in the same forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Ok just to clarify a few things that have been mentioned in the thread:

If you don't have usb debugging enabled then your phone cannot communicate with your pc so ALWAYS enable that as soon as you get your phone even if you never plan on using it (just in case). Without usb debugging enabled you cannot use any of the backup functions in the S3 ToolKit.

You cannot access internal storage if you are locked out and cannot get past the lock screen for security reasons. If you do not have any security set then you can access internal storage by turning the phone on.

Performing a NAND backup in cwm will not back your data/media folder as it could potentially require a 16/32/64GB backup file if your whole internal storage was used up. For this reason you could not recover any data from internal storage using this method.

Performing a wipe in recovery will NOT format the data/media partition so you will not lose any data on there. I just tried it to make sure and the system is reset but everything on internal storage is still there. This was tested on a custom rom and using cwm recovery 6.0.1.0.

As you dont have usb debugging enabled then your only option to get the phone working again is to wipe from recovery. If it wipes your internal storage then I apologise but there is really nothing else you can do.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
Thank you so much for the help, good sir. Yeah, I made a big mistake not turning on usb debugging or setting up dropbox/google+/something of the sort. Though, I guess it's somewhat of a good thing that this happened since I was never interested in understanding how android works before. Now, I'm planning on playing around with it once I wipe it. Hopefully, it'll work. Anyway, thanks again :D

Yeah it always takes a disaster to bring you closer to your phone lol.

Let us know how it goes :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KillaHurtz:
Won't a stock Odin flash fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
Nope. I flashed stock firmware with odin3 v3.04 using firmware from here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1755386

Claims it was successful and when it rebooted it was still locked :T

Did this twice. And then did it once with Auto-reboot unchecked and took out the battery after it was done flashing.

Now I'm just going to factory reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecracker96:
The phone is wiped! Nothing left. Time to root it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Did the factory reset wipe everything including internal storage? If it did then it must be because it was locked. I wiped (without a screen lock) and it didnt touch the internal storage.

Either way im glad the phone is working again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Syavick:
I found one way how to save data from storage or remove pattern lock. :)

Here is an idea:

1) Flash CWM via Odin.

2) Run Aroma FileManager and do something with it(copy photos to external_sd or remove pattern lock files etc.) :)

upd: That idea worked for me! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sticky78:
Nope. As long as they're saved on your external SD card.

Hi

Im having problems with non existing lockscreen with Maniac´s builds.

It works for a day or so and suddenly its gone.

When i reboot its back again for a day...

Im using his latest build, the problem started with 07/27.

How can i solve this?
[LG Optimus 2x] davibs:
Ehi guys, i'm thinking to go back to hd2.

What do you think Guys?

Can you give me your suggestions?
[LG Optimus 2x] tatperson:
Go back if you want. Its your choice, your decision. If you feel that you will be better off with an HD2, then go for it. No one can or will stop you.

[LG Optimus 2x] jerichoo:
If you think it is big step forward go for it,,, if not, wait untill you will be sure it is worthing... if you ask me, i don think that hd2 it is a major upgrade...sure, it's just my opinion..
[LG Optimus 2x] Beplexor:
It's completely your choice and I'm not going to change that at all.

However my opinion is that I cannot see why you're moving back to the HD2. The ONLY advantages of the HD2 are the bigger screen (IF you see that as an advantage at all) and perhaps the amazing developer support for that phone. Apart from that the processor and GPU are extremely sluggish compared to the O2X, it has inferior camera qualities and everything on the O2X is just more polished as it's newer.

My Girlfriend has one... It has a bigger choice of roms (not only android (2.2, 2.3, 4.04, 4.1, also WM 6.5, WP7.5, Linux, ...) and you can dualboot (from NAND and SD).

I think the display of the O2X looks better and the handling is smoother (cause of dual-core instead of the single core of the HD2).

But it's your decision...
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
by all means its your decision. keep in mind though that the o2x is more advanced hardware-wise in almost every way (my doubt being ram, i think the hd2 has 1GB). both cpu n gpu are way faster, much better cam, way better display (think that the hd2 has that lousy old touchscreen that cant even register 2 touches properly, may be wrong). You are talking about a phone that originally shipped with win 6.5, regardless of that fact that it was pushed to its limits later on. as far as im concerned, its a v significant downgrade.

PS. Its not only what os it runs, but also how it runs it. try to get ur hands on one and check it out b4 buying. i personally would never switch my o2x for an hd2, but its ur call
[LG Optimus 2x] dorwoo:
It will be a big step back.
[LG Optimus 2x] davibs:
I will stay with my dual..! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
O2x is so close to ICS you'd be stupid to change now haha.

Remember to copy the arrows, etc as well for the bootloader token, once you do retry htc dev, if it's still giving you trouble, copy every on the cmd window, paste it in a text file and send it to my inbox, I'll get you the bootloader file.

Watch my video. I explain what you are supposed to copy.

[HTC Amaze 4G] zsiddiqi:
Yeah, as Dark Nightmare said, you need to keep the arrows BUT remove the INFO from the beginning of every line. It can be done simply by opening notepad and doing a search/replace. Then save the file and use it. Download the Hasoon's Toolkit V 3.1 and use it instead as it simplifies the whole process quite a bit.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Questionable accuracy of the article as a whole. Samsung has already started that the Galaxy S line will not receive ICS, so what makes the author think that it will now receive JB? Also note that July is in quarter 3, which was the update for GSM Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and the wifi Xoom. Author states nothing new and includes random misinformation. Really - the Galaxy Nexus 4G? Next he'll be writing things like "Nexus Prime". The link to a retailer page for the Sprint Nexus is not an indicator that Sprint is somehow the next Nexus due for JB. This guy probably works for Amazon and is trying to make some money.

touch problem in games is one of the bugs in ICS... that's why so many people like me use GB for gaming...:good::D

so its not related to ur phone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Greight:
Well, ICS had a lot of problems in my LWW but I had temple run there and everything was fine. I even had Asphalt 7 and NFS Hot Pursuit and again they worked smoothly. As for gaming, I did not get back to my GB because of that. I had problems with some software with no kind of reason.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] uawasthi4:
Is there a solution to that bug?? And I do not Want to downgrade to gingerbread 'coz I like ICS...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Greight:
You like ICS, I loved it. But trust me if you are so into software and gaming you have to go back to a GB CUSTOM rom. After one day of experience with a new custom GB rom, which I am pretty sure is not much I can tell you that. I'm using Sonydroid and it is working fine now. Let's see what happens later.

[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
yes. i tried it also, and it works fine.

also i found that Google NOW works fine. i found the instructions also on XDA but i forgot the topic:

1. Download Google Now v6-signed.zip and make sure it is somewhere on your phone.

2. Reboot the phone into safestrap

3. Install the zip like you would any rom (install update.zip and then navigate to the zip you downloaded and select yes).

4. Reboot phone and wait. It will update your apps and take a little bit.

5. Once your system has finished booting, open your app drawer and select Google Search (should be a blue square with a white google "g" in it)

6. Follow the prompts until you get to the main screen

7. Go back to your homescreen and hold down the search button on your phone.

8. Select Google Search again (the blue box with the google "g" )

9. You are done!

*You may want to select it as a default when holding down your search button, I did.

** Step number 5 & 6 is REALLY important. I had major performance problems before I figured out that I had to go through those steps.

This morning I woke up and the screen of my One S was on. When I checked why it was on I've seen that my alarm went off but without any sound.

I've checked my settings if I put my phone on silent mode but it wasn't. So I checked if I can play music, ringtones, videos etc. but still no sound.

I can talk on the phone no problem but the speakers for music, ringtones, notifications etc, just won't work.

I tried a factory reset and installed my custom rom again without any luck...

Any ideas how to fix this or do I have to send my phone in to get it fixed?
[HTC One S] :
haven't had this happen, but did you try fix permissions from recovery

otherwise, if no one else has a solution you could try a nandroid restore

or, better--wipe all including System and reload fresh. Factory Reset won't clear System

or, just wipe System and reflash rom, I don't think data, which Factory reset wipes, would be the issue. not sure

Mine did the same thing, if you press the lower part together you will hear it come back for a bit and then stop again.
