[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
Using 3.09 and interesting, I run as admin the driver file and it makes like it starts something and then...nothing. Hmmm. Like I mentioned, it see's the usb attach to the laptop, comes up as a Portable Device but that's it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Hmm... maybe a bad file? Try this more direct link: http://samsung-usb-driver-for-mobile-phones.en.softonic.com/download#

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

.... maybe a stupid question, did you try the generic passcode? Like 0000 and 1234?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
OH HOLY CRAP! If it is, I'm gonna have to change the combination on luggage, they're the same...

Pretty sure it's not the file but will try the other one as well...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Well, if it doesn't install, just use the Google Generic Phone driver, just Google it.

Then plug into a different port on your computer (not a USB hub) and also make sure its a nicer (preferably Samsung) cable, then try flashing again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Did you get this sorted? Is user data all you need off the phone? Contact/call logs/text messages...etc? Also, why did you not just pull the battery once it asked for a pin to get back to whatever form of security was set previous? When you set up your security, it asks for a pin so she would have had to enter one.

"Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts." - Jeremiah 15:16
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
If I'm correct if an exchange email is set up on the device, rebooting wont do a thing, it will still want a passcode, one that she doesn't remember setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
This is the screen I get when I incorrectly enter my swipe pattern. Stock/rooted. I'm thinking if they went with "forgot pattern" (which I'm not sure why the would), then they would have needed to enter email/password info to have the pattern image emailed to them. You cannot get to a point on an S4 (to my knowledge) where the security will overwrite the preferred and selected security (swipe in this case) for something else. Unless they selected "backup pin" and you get almost unlimited tries then and even still, once the 30 second lockout is over, security just goes back to whatever is set (swipe in this case). The question in the OP kind of does not make sense to me but if he's been flashing firmware, the security lock is not really his problem anymore if he still wants his user data....Unless I'm completely off base here.

[Edit] Her work requiring a pin if she gets company email to her phone just clicked. Lol. She would have had to set all that up through work though and definitely would've needed to select a pin number but that would all be done through work so changing the passcode through Google would do nothing anyway...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
OK, so this is my WIFE we're talking about here; as far as she's concerned, it's Magic we're discussing here :)

She had Backup setup, so she got her contacts but the messages and photos that weren't stored on the SD card are what she's looking for. The pics her Sisters in Peru sent her over WhatsApp, downloads and SMS.

Thanks to everyone for pitching in. Not sure why it went to the PIN request, or what that PIN is but it does warn that after 10 attempts it'll wipe the device...but if I go to Google and do a LOCK command and change pin there, it resets the number of attempts to zero. SO. THEORETICALLY speaking I could enter 0000-9999 and see which one works but that may take a few years ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
I'd Install some different drivers and see which one gets ODIN to succeed, because if it will flash, that will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
I'm worried that being LOCKED, it shuts down the port or something....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Uh. It shouldnt be locked. The phone should be in download mode. Have you been putting it in download mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
OK so it TOOK the NC5 downgrade, but now it's at the "enter PIN" screen again. It HAD been in a boot loop with "android.process.acore" has stopped. Now it seems stable, it's not rebooting anyway.

What now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Does she have the extra security on her phone setup through her work?

"Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts." - Jeremiah 15:16
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
no, no extra security; it's strictly a unrooted S4.

She HAD a swipe pattern set, which was entered wrong 3 times then it asked for a PIN. She doesn't remember setting a PIN.

Tried 1111 0000 1234 and a couple others we thought they could be, but no luck...

At least now it's not threatening to suicide if we do it 10 times, but after 5 attempts it says to wait 30sec before next attempt.

When I run ADB DEVICES I can see it now, but if I try ADB PULL /SDCARD it tells me error:closed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
That kind of makes no sense. I've never heard of a phone overwriting one security method (swipe) for another (pin) unless it's something setup through work. There isn't even an option for that anywhere on the phone. There is no option upon entering the pin incorrectly to select "forgot pin" or anything like that? Furthermore, if swipe was selected before then it would still be the default security. Without getting too far out there, it almost sounds like you're trying to break into her phone (we don't do that here).... and if I'm wrong then I apologize... Having said that, if the phone for some reason has switched security from swipe to pin and won't let you

A). Email the pin to yourself

Or

B). Reset security back to the know swipe pattern

Then you are outta luck, near as I can tell.

"Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts." - Jeremiah 15:16
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sgoeckner:
Couldn't tell you WHY, but yes; I bought her the new S5 and when I went to backup her data to push to the new phone, I entered MY swipe instead of hers 3 times and that's when it asked me for a PIN. Hmm. Called her to come downstairs, she couldn't remember setting a PIN but that's not unusual, she doesn't do anything but surf the web. So we tried like 0000 and it said we had tried one incorrect time and 9 more would wipe the phone.

As far as I know, the only PIN used is PIN lock the SIM and PIN for security, but Verizon already had us try the SIM pin and it didn't work either.

She's so pissed now she won't even use the new phone even though it's ringing; I went ahead and activated it. Not that she ever answers it, regularly, but I just pay the bills, you know?

Anyway...I got it onto NC5 like Nolan suggested but it came right to that enter PIN screen...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Right. Your using a no wipe file so user data is still on the phone. You could use a full wipe tar and return the phone to stock but then you'd be wiping what your trying to get off the phone. You are outta luck man.

I have downloaded a 1Gb file named: "D5503_14.4.A.0.108_Central Europe (1280-7864).ftf"

I have been playing with zipping files from it and renaming the zip to SIN_FILE_SET. S1tools was able to process the files and flash them (I guess), but the phone is still dead.

The owner is an illiterate, so I doubt the problem originally happened due to a flashing gone bad.

I obviously have no backups of any kind, no TrimArea, nothing.

Questions:

1. Is it still possible to revive this device ?

2.Is it a question of zipping the right files in a SIN_FILE_SET?

You can see them on Amazon

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mygod Studio:
I've been using CM11 nightly on my i9500 and probably due to a lot of **** I'd done to this phone recently it has become quite unstable so I decided to wipe everything and do a clean installation when I remembered there's a way to enlarge internal storage up to 11.8G by flashing PIT, BL, AP, CP, CSC from I9500ZCUCMG1.

And I tried and it failed. So I only flashed PIT. Then I tried to flash BL and I see "SW Rev. Invalid magic string." on my phone. I googled it and it seems to be that Odin doesn't allow flashing an older version of bootloader. So I tried to flash I9500ZCUGNH4 but still fails with messages like "sboot.bin", "NAND write start fail".

Then I tried to flash a regular PIT provided here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2269941

Then I tried to flash I9500ZCUGNH4 again, and this time it works. However when the device try to boot, it stuck at logo. I tried to go into recovery and it says:

E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

can't mount '/data'(Invalid argument)

E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

I tried looking for an older or modded versions of the game, but can't even find those to give them a try.

The location of the gold value changes, this may be because it's online, stored in cloud, and they have something set up to change it. but it's only changed once so far. And when I back out of the game or get more it displays what the value really is.

Hi. I'm using HDMI output on Pipo P4 but i get underscan on my screen. Its for recording purposes so i dont want to deal with TV scaler or workarounds like that.

Internal resolution is 1920x1200 so i guess thats the problem. But i have another Pipo S1 Pro (1024x600) and it outputed perfectly 1080p over HDMI, and HDMI option says 1920x1080 so i dont know whats the problem. I just get black borders around the image. I have tried a few resolution changer apps but it looks even worse forcing internal 1920x1080. Screen zoom on HDMI options does nothing, it keeps the black borders.

Any solution to output real 1920x1080 over HDMI?
