Last night I turned off the phone by pressing Right key for a few seconds and in the morning, I turned it on. But now, when I want to set my code to unlock the phone (I know, its correct code), it dont work. Actually, it doesnt show any message or do anything. Can someone help me? I cant do hard reset because of contacts and files. I tried soft reset, but without success.
Thanks

I know other who has this problem, Leo changes the password. I have even contacted HTC and they said I had to hard reset the phone
im having the same problem but only after trying to flash radio, which failed and gave me an erroe, desided to leave it alone and when i rebooted, all was well until i locked the screen. i have hard reset the phone like 5 times and tried redownloading ruu and kumar roms again... its a huge no go.. any idea?
I've found CHT 2.0b and Exchange can clash, and cause the password to screw up, if that's any help. I'm on one of the latest NRGZ roms.

Try re-doing the bootloader. Sounds like a bad one. I've had that happen as well.

hmm.... does it at least attempt an activesync connection? Does it stay in long enough? What I've done... is gotten RomUpdateUtility all the way to the last screen... and clicked next as soon as activesync sees it.
so.. i updated the hard spl and nothing it still restarts

I take it you did a Lost / stolen phone? Or is it a replacement from verizon because it isn't working?
its under warranty so its free
Gotcha. I'm guessing they are making you send the old one back.

i heard that if you plug it into kies, you can somehow download a file that automatically factory resets your phone, probably designed for when this happens. Maybe you could try looking around on there or something? (i cant confirm it as my phones cm)
I was following the phone unlocking guide in a sub-forum got my unlock code, powered off, inserted a different sim, powered on. I didn't get a request for a code; phone started up fine except no network access. I got a message a short while after something like android.phone stopped working.
Turned the phone off, put original sim back in and turned the phone on. All the phone will do is flicker the backlight every couple of seconds. 3-button recovery will take me to "Downloading..." and sit there. Flashing to Gingerbread using Odin will get to the RESET and phone will power off and phone will sit there screen flashing as before.
Anything I can do to resolve this?

Hey!
Firstly: For me worked(not in unlock, but in some other cases, where other soft fails) the STOCK ..XXKC1. Try to flash it. Dose you put you phone in to "Download" mode for Odin?
Where you get that UNLOCK? From here?
These are the questions, what I want answers. Maybe after that I can say surely.
TIA!

I was following the guide [TUTORIAL]How to Network Unlock Samsung Galaxy Ace Via ADB. Phone didn't ask for unlock code when I put a Vodafone sim in my o2-locked Ace. Shortly after putting the Vodafone sim in it said something like Android.phone force closed.
I can flash any firmware but so far the phone will not boot. The screen will just flash after flashing firmware and I can put it in Downloading recovery but nothing else happens so far.
Could it be something to do with the phone storage being screwed up? I followed the tutorial word for word and got my code and everything.

Sorry, then. I cant answer. Dont know that. Maybe better to ask in that thread, from where you followed the TUTORIAL, how to unlock.

Hi mate. Thanks for dropping in. I cannot enter recovery; the phone just does what happens in the OP - it just flashes. I can only enter 3-button recovery. So far I've tried 5 different firmware 2 Froyo (inc stock) and 3 different Gingerbreads found droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html. Will try a custom firmware but otherwise will try and take the phone back to o2 tomorrow.

Hey!
Dont take it back to SERVICE, before you not get flashed back to STOCK firmware or they can MAYBE, see that you not in stock firmware. Just saying it, that you DONT get in to trouble, with warranty.
CHEERS!
Yeah too it into o2 this morning. Luckily the dipshits that work there don't know anything. He just plugged it into his laptop and ran Kies. It's being sent off though. Hopefully will be sorted in warranty for free
Hello,
To solve this problem, did you activate the warranty?
I have the same problem, none of the existing ROM work, or find another solution?
I appreciate the help,
mscofield07
Yeah; I sent it back for warranty. They replaced the main PCB.
Can we unlock locked SGA? ?

Hey, i tried to install android on my HD2 several times and failed, but then i noticed i had wrong version of hspl so i couldn't start MAGLRD (i had 3.03 i think i should've had 2.08 right?) Anyway i then tried to remove the HSPL by formatting my sd card and putting the file from original rom (i don't remember the name) and renaming it to LEOIMG, it started installing the rom i went to another room, when i came back it had finished and was on the red/blue/green screen and it said update failed and i had to retry, but now none of the exes work like rom updates or task29 nothing. when i turn on the phone it says "Not allow" and then goes to the red/blue/green screen. Please help me, I'm freaking out is there any way to fix it? Is there even a way to access SD card when the phone does this?
TomaToz, use the computer to flash via USB cable.
I can't, none of the rom updates or ANYTHING works since this, they all give errors
go to the magLDR page and look for how to remove it.
then start from scratch
There's no info how to remove it but even if there was how would i? None of the exes work and i can't turn the phone on, also i dont think MAGLRD got installed cause i had HSPL 3.03 instead of 2.08
Come on isn't htere anyone who ca help me? :|
are you sure you haven't bricked your phone?
because it just seems you did :/
I don't think you read the bold "You need HardSPL 2.08 before installation!" just above the history?
anyway, can you not flash a radio via USB as well?
also, if you post the error messages you get maybe we can help you more.
you can also check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10275463
What does bricked mean? :9
and no i can not flash radio or anything else, i'll edit this message with a picture of what the error message looks like
EDIT: WOW, i tried to run the hspl installation and installed hspl 2.08 successfully, not i turned my phone on and its the screen where you choose to start the update for rom. This is the update after which my hd2 said "Update failed" so I'm scared to take any steps, please respond and tell me what to do
HOLY FREAKING CRAP! I installed android and everything seems to work fine, i can't tell you how relieved i am :]]]]
That's for your attention
Does anyone know where to get apps for Android 2.3.2?
What i installed is TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.9-MAGLDR
Help please!!! Hd2 stuck !
HI to all!my phone was working great until i decided to try a new rom so I installed task29 (i had elegancia rom but i wanted to try another rom)and now im stuck on the htc logo screen that says 'stick together' in a red square.....i tried vol down+power button to go into bootloader but nothing happens, then i tried to hard reset but still nothing happens...i pushed the reset button and i did it all over again at least 3 times but still nothing... is there anything else i can try? (even on the hardware?)
my HD2 is a T-MOBILE usa with :
radio 2.08.50.08_2
2.08.HSPL
3.14.531.1 elegancia rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651729)
i love my hd2 and i want it back...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
THANK YOU in advance!!!
sofialoca, task29 is not a thing to be "installed". It's a flash formatting. So you did everything correctly and deleted all from your phone except.. hmmm... stick together.
To flash other rom - just press Volume Down and push reset (under the battery cover) KEEPING VOLUME DOWN PRESSED. Keep it pressed until you are again in bootloader mode. Then connect USB and flash whatever you want.
thank you Andrew!I found the problem...

glad it worked out in the end
OK title says it all, and yes I have been reading for the last 3hrs, all the possible solutions.
HD2 EU Vodafone UK
So here is what I have tried:-
Task 29 + flash stock rom - stuck -
Hard reset - stuck
remove HSPL - stuck
flash latest Vodafone rom from HTC 3.14.161.3 - stuck - also SPL now 3.03
flash old stock to downgrade SPL to 1.66 - stuck
Have also tried reinstalling MAGLDR - stuck - magldr doesn't even show.
I never get flash failed, and yet it will not get past the Tri coloured bootloader.
Also I cannot get it to flash from SD. I have tried holding the endcall and vol down but it just goes to the loader.
Vol Up and endcall goes to hard reset.
And, to make it worse, it's not even mine. I was returning it to Winmo for a mate.
Phones been running Android nand since March without problems.
All suggestions welcome.

that would indicate a stuck volume down button, since hard reset is volup and voldown. (You dont need to hold power, tap and release it, its teh vol buttons you hold)
You are quite right about the vol up and down for reset.
Also, I had been considering the possibility of a stuck button.
I will see if i can prove or disprove it.
Thanks for the response.
Does anybody know how many buttons are in the volume control rocker?
Is it:-
1 for down volume
1 for up volume
and another for both when you hold both in?
I am still trying to decide if the down volume button is stuck on.
When I hold both down I can get into reset mode, but if I only press the up it still goes to tri colour.
So I am still not sure if the down is stuck on.
3 buttons in the rocker could explain why up only doesn't go to reset but 2 buttons only would confirm that the down is not stuck on.
All comments welcome
two, you can feel them click on individually when you press them.
I too can only feel 2 and that would imply that the down is not stuck.
When I hold the up button and switch on it goes to boot loader, if it was stuck shouldn't the phone have gone to reset?
I was hoping it was like a mouse wheel with forwards, backwards and click down which is 3 positions.
I'm running out of things to try.
If it's not stuck why does it keep going to bootloader with out being asked?
Why can I flash roms and HSPL without any failure messages but still find no change on reboot?
Thanks for the replies and please keep them comming
I have managed to flash from SD. I tried a different card.
I have attached a pic of the screen saying update complete, update success.
But still stuck in bootloader
well, if it isnt hardware, it must be a corrupted bootloader issue, or bad nand blocks perhaps. ive seen quite a few 'only enters bootoader' threads over the yrs, but never really noticed a solution.
sorry, no suggestions, other than perhaps give teh freezer trick a go?
I'm desperate enough to try almost anything.
I will have to read up on the freezer trick.( don't want to kill it completely)
I have also contacted a couple of repairers for a quote using Jtag. the first said "sorry bricked" and I'm still waiting for the second reply.
Also reading up on Goldcards, maybe that's another option?
Thanks again for the reply.

lol, probably scared of doing it (it requires dismantling teh phone, and theyre notoriously easy to break, there are loads of threads here where someone took theirs in for a fix and the vol/bottom button/screen ribon cables got broke by the shop.

could be tho unlikely (sorry) goldcard flashing is just sd flashing but bypasses carrier and region checks.
if you can get the serial of your sd card, i can make you a goldcard image, no problem. (Don't bother using the free goldcard page on revskills website, its for android and wp7 phones) . PM me the serial and an email address if you want one.
@samsamuel Thanks for all your help and advice.
I have sent it off for repair today.
As I said in the first post, it's not even mine I was re flashing winmo 6.5 so my mate could sell it.
Hopefully it will be all sorted now.
Update.
I contacted 3 repairers.
1st said "sorry dead"
2nd said "£40 + postage"
3rd said "£21 which became £29 all in"
So I sent it to 3rd one, got a quick reply "sorry unable to fix, here is a full refund" and they returned it via 1st class post.
So yesterday I've got the phone in my hands, poped in the battery and I am presented on screen with a triangle and the words "flash failed please try again"
So task 29, now back with a tricoloured screen. See attached.
Now tried a custom Winmo, and it works
So I tried 2 Vodafone and 1 O2 stock roms and they all failed at 9%.
Tried another custom Winmo, and again working
So finally, I have task 29, CLK, clockwork v5 and latest MIUI. All working just fine.
Is there a stock looking custom winmo that anybody can recommend?
Hah, a lucky outcome. The radio is stuck, hence stock roms failing, but lucky for you its still a working radio, so customs are working. About the best result you could get, considering.
I'd say try the Artemis rom, but that will require spl 3.03.hspl, and occasionally the stuck radio issue messes with changing spl,,
Not so sure about your stuck radio theory, I have been able to change the radio without an issue.
I will give Artemis rom a go.
thanks for all the support.
Merry Christmas
