Hi guys - first post here, wish it was under less stressful circumstances. Anyway - got a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 today, I have no previous experience of such things, anyway, started it up, transferred contacts etc, installed the sniper program (for root access), Uploaded axera, went through all the motions but after reboot it was still the stock samsung apps, i did get the yellow android triangle digging and googled it which said just to pull the battery (maybe this is where things went wrong) - now the phone works with the standard samsung ROM but after entering PIN i get asked for SIM network unlock PIN. I am really ****ting it incase i have to send it back and they won't fix it - have i screwed my phone? please someone help!
There are a whole lot of missing steps there, and some of them are the important ones.
So far, it looks to me like you have locked it to a different carrier than your SIM card is for. There are unlock solutions on here to extract the unlock code from the phone. You will need to do one of these. If you cannot get past that screen try booting it without a SIM card installed (you will need to enable USB debugging to get the unlock code).
Hello everybody!
Recently I've an OTA update, don't really know what is in it, but because of my rooted phone I was stuck in TWRP, when in LG icon, and after a lof of my moves I reinstalled firstly with tool via option trouble and restoring( something like that ). Everything was ok, but I got a new problem. My phone wants to have pin/password for decrypting. I reinstalled again some KDZ and it stll wants. What I have to do? Phone sees SIM CARD, i enter pin, everying is ok, but it want to have a dycripting pin. Help me please.
I'm adding some photos.
In two photos are situations, one of them without sim card installed, second is with sim card installed,
Hi,
I need help, my father has a samsung A3 with ROM stock, he knowns 0 about android but he needs phone to work.
He doesn´t have a password code to unlock the phone, but this afternoon, he calls me (with another phone) telling me that suddenly the phone was blocked and he doesn´t knowns the password, he doesn´t put any security code, is like that it appears for "magic". We tried all, i have tried 70 passwords without resoults. I can see the device in android device manager, but i can´t restore the password there. I unlock the SIM but not the phone code.
How can i resolve this?
Any help would be appreciated

Factory reset is probably the only way. This will wipe ALL user data.
Also be aware this may activate Google FRP Lock.
If it does you will need to input the Google sign in details.
Hello guys!
Today i found Samsung J5 at the pavement, closed but when i tried to open it it opens just fine, has a sim card inside and even a home lock screen photo with a girl and a boy that i see at the background. So someone has lost it.
I'm trying to open it to send a message to any contact of the owner, that i have found it and to come get it back.
I tried to get into recovery to mount and get the passwords erased (according to a video i found at youtube -link at the bottom)
but the recovery it has now doesn't work and when i try to install the twrp through Odin it says "custom binary blocked by frp".
How can i get it to work?
Or any other ideas?
Thank you!

I see you have honest opinion, but sorry, since the owner didn't enable oem unlock, there is pretty much nothing you can do but flash stock rom using odin and use it yourself...
Just insert that sim card in another phone and wait for calls, or try importing contacts from the sim card onto your phone, if you really want to find its actual owner...
Edit: It might require a password for the sim card.
Ragazzza, i can not use it for myself, even if i wanted to, cause it is locked through and through. It has FRP enabled and it is unusable. I went to the company of the sim card and they told me they can't do anything, i just have to go to the police and they find the owner. I wento the police and they told me to take it to them. The only thing if that i'm afraid they maybe will take it for themselves. That's why i do not want to take it to them. Of course, if i can't find a solution i will do it.
Gent, well i haven't thought of that! But i do not think that it'll work because what we do in Greece is we tell the company we have the number to deactivate the lost sim, and give us a new sim with the same number. Also, the sim card has a pin, so... :/
So the sim i have now in my hands is useless, propably. I'll give it a try though, thanks for the idea!
Don't wipe the device in stock recovery. You will end up locked out by FRP.
Is there an sdcard in the device that could give clues to the owner?
Also I find it hard to believe that the network company of the sim card cannot help. If it's contract they should have no problem tracing the owner via the sim card number or even IMEI of the device.
Is the SIM card actually locked?
ashyx, i do not know where you are from but in Greece, unfortunately, things do not work like in other countries. I have gone to 2 stores, in both stores told me the same thing. "we can't do anything sorry. Go to the police to declare it lost". I do not trust the police will do it's job rightfully so i prefer to search for a solution, even if it takes time.
I got FRP lock, indeed. No sdcard :\ I actually found a program called Wondershare Dr.Fone but neither of my phones are supported....

So at the moment you are FRP locked because you attempted to install TWRP or can it still boot to the lock screen?

I attempted to instal TWRP and it gave me this message "custom binary blocked by frp". But i can boot to the lock screen if i take out the sim card.

I'm surprised the owner hasn't attempted to call the phone.
The first thing I do is call the phone if I lose it and hope someone answers.
It should still be possible for you to pick up the call even if it's locked.
ashyx, not if the sim card is locked. If it was only the phone i wouldn't have a problem answering any calls to give the phone back. But it's both sim and phone locked. Or else i wouldn't have a any problems solving this
Please help me fix my phone and i am willing to give away some steam keys, i am not very savvy regarding phone tech but i will be doing my best to follow instructions.
I will give you some background.
The phone (was my sister's) was factory unlocked for any carrier (which i didnt know) and for some reason it did not want to take my sim card, i started going crazy so i downloaded everything i thought i needed to unlock it and make it work with my sim card. After messing around with the phone and odin i screwed it all up so now it does not take any carrier at all, the IMEI is gone (but i still have the number on the phone's invoice) I really do not know what to do anymore, i even have updated Android to 8.0.0 but still can't get tit to work. If you would be so kind to help me get it working back again i will be giving some steam keys as a thank you. Hope someone can help me here
