so i Erased my cache and wiped factory reset my phone but now it won't let me get into the main area without a pin or account.
anyway around this? maybe a Rom Flash?
It happend to me too as in the beginning it starts to search for updates but it failes because of server problems
So just leave it in the setup connected to wifi for 20 min and it should be fine again
Seems like you have forgotten your pin/password
To reset pin /password
Connect your phone to pc
Open Samsung Side sync
Use top three dot menu on side sync for emergency rescue.
That would download stock firmware and flash it and allow you to bypass pin screen
If that not possible, flash stock firmware via odin ( don't use home csc). This way your phone will go to factory reset and settings allowing you to enter new pin /password

Hello.
I recently got myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7in and everything seemed to be working just fine until the system eventually prompted me to update the Samsung software. I followed the steps, the tablet downloaded the update files itself and rebooted in order to install the updates. Problem is, during the reboot/installation process the screen remained black with just 2 lines of pixels on across the screen, I though this was part of the booting process but it just stood there for more than 10 minutes so I decided to turn it back on. Everything seemed to be fine, but then an error message came up saying there could be problems with the software (i didn't pay too much attention), but after this it won't let me install any apps. After an app is done downloading a message pops up saying "unknown error code during application install -110", plus my computer (or any other computer) doesn't detect when it's plugged in via USB cable. I've tried doing several factory resets and wipes and still have the same issues. Tried installing Kies but it won't detect it either.
How can I repair the firmware without having to connect the tablet to my computer? Is there anything I can download directly to it or transfer via Bluetooth to re-install the software?
Any help will be very much appreciated
Try resetting it back to factory defaults. You can google it easily.

my friend has the same problem. did you fix the issue? if so how?
I am using the Apex Launcher but I think this is possible with stock launcher as well hopefully it helps someone. This is one way to do a factory reset is:
You will need your MSL TO DO THIS. If you don't know it put the "Factory Mode" shortcut on your home screen then skip down to the 2nd part of this post & install the msl app.
FACTORY RESET:
1) long click on the home screen
2) click on shortcut
3) select Activities
4)Scroll down to "Factory Mode" tap it then select the dropled down one. This will put a Shortcut on the Home Screen.
5) Find the Factory Mode shortcut you just made & tap it to open it.
6) Dial ##786# then on the screen that pops up
7) select "RESET"
8)enter your msl in the box that popped up then select ok then the device will reboot & when it powers backup it will be like it was from the factory & if you don't know your MSL follow the instructions below.
TO GET MSL:
1) In a browser type bit.ly/mslutility - can sideload if needed
2)install app
3) Open app & click get MSL it will most likely fail this is fine.
4) click on the factory mode shortcut you made to open it
5) dial ##3282# & put in 6 zeros-it will tell you that it's incorrect this is fine. Go back to home screen
6) Open the MSL App & click on Get MSL-this time it should give you your devices 6 digit MSL Code. Write it down. Then do step # 6 above to reset your Device.
This shortcut will allow you to put the Sprint SGT3 into DIAG MODE(##3424#) , get into the ##data#(##3282#) menu, do the factory reset ##RTN# (##786#) & most likely any other Dialer/hidden menu's for this device.
Thanks to the MSL App builder(not sure who it is so let me know please)

I haven't used my nexus in a couple months, turned it on today and there's a PIN lock.
I don't remember ever setting this up, I tried my usual PINs and none work.
I keep trying but I never get a forgot password log in with google option. I always get 5 wrong entries, wait 30 secs.
I'm at 35 incorrect PINs so far.
-I've also tried going to device manager but my device is always unavailable so I can't send a lock screen to it.
-I can't do a factory reset because my recovery is broken and I can't get into it to erase my data.
-I can't flash a new recovery because my computer isn't a trusted device to access it and I can't allow it because I can't log in.
I'm not sure what else to do.
I have a secondary user on it but I can't turn on the developer options for it because it's not the primary account.
Any ideas what I can do?
If you can get your driver issues figured out, so that the Fast Boot driver works, you can just reflash images from the Bootloader. You do not need to get into Recovery, or get passed the pin lock to reflash. To make it easy, you can use something like Wug's NRT and use the "Bricked Device" option to flash images from the bootloader screen.
So I have a busted screen, and due to work email and such, I'd like to wipe the phone before sending it back. I have attempted to navigate the factory reset with the buttons with no success. Any suggestions? The phone is factory unlocked.
Help is much appreciated!

You have a few options.
Get the screen fixed.
Buy an mhl cable and show the screen on a TV, do what you like from there.
Not 100% but try adb commands through a PC and see if there is one to wipe the phone.
Again not 100% but you could use USB OTG to communicate and type in the code within the dialer to wipe the phone.
Flash an ruu, this should nuke the devices memory AFAIK.
There are probably more ways but they're what I would try first.
Or change your password on your work email, if you use a client like good, you can remove it from the device and the password will stop people entering it anyway, not to mention that its sandboxed.
If you have a password (pattern or pin) and you're rooted then you can easily remove them from TWRP recovery by deleting one file, however would the people who get the broken phone go to those lengths?
Hope this helps.
Hello
I have J2 Prime (G532f) and I want to reset the pattern lock screen without losing the contacts and any of its data
I searched a lot on solution for this problem but I coudn't find any
is there any way to reset the pattern lock without losing at least the contact list ?
Today a client broght me this model with screen locked. Firmware was G532FXXU1AQG2. I just flashed COMBINATION_OXE_FA60_G532FXXU1AQD1_OXE1AQD1_CL11108991_QB13167601_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT and now I can access all of data of this phone except CONTACTS. You must flash only boot, recovery, and system partitions. Do it easily with z3x box (uncheck all partitions except these three partitions). After back up all of data flash your phone again with official 4 file firmware.
SCREENSHOT
İf you want Contacts only way is EFT Dongle.

Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)
