I'm not the best when it comes to reflashing the OS. I don't think that'll work, as it might be a variable that is stored on the system partition, but when you reflash using ODIN, it doesn't touch that. Believe me, Samsung thought of everything when it comes to security. You could try to reset your Google account password and try entering the new password on the phone, but I'm not guaranteeing that will work 100%, unfortunately.
Hope this helps,

Hi Everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 I5503. My small cousins played with it and put in the wrong pattern to unlock, now i cant even login (gmail) to unlock my phone.
I have decided to hard reset it. but pressing Vol up + Center button + Power button does nothing the download mode works.
Can some one suggest how i can workaround this?
I am even ready to flash it but can someone give me a step by step info i will be greatful.
Thank you all XDA Members

Here you can get step by step procedur for flashing your G5.Keep in mind that touchscreen wont work if you flash the firmware of i5508.
thank you ramu.rocks4u, i saw this thread and followed it and u are rite the touch does not work. but even after the flash, the phone still asks for username and password.
I tried different ways of hard reset and factory resets but none work.....
Need help???

Do you know you username but not your password, or know neither of them?

looking 4 d same
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)
Got a friend at work, and his kid managed to enter a usercode onto his SGS2. It´s his businesses phone with LOADS of meetings/notes/sms´s/photes (all on the phone, nothing saved to SD :/ )etc etc and he want to get his info back if possible.
USB debugging is NOT turned on.
vol+,home,power gets puts you on a enter password screen.
vol-,home,power puts you in download mode.
Is there anything that can be flashed via ODIN to get rid of the usercode WITHOUT loosing any info?
Just them him to take it into a Samsung service center proof of ownership may well be needed.
As i work in a phone/tv store we send in ~5-10/phones each day to service centers.
Not one time have the phone been "unlocked/reset" without it coming back factory reset
I´ll tell him to leave it be until monday, and if there´s no other way then flashing, well, suck for him....

Read in another thread to try a bunch of wrong passwords until it asks for a PUK then use that to unlock it (Call carrier for PUK)
Tell your "friend" to ask his "kid" for the code.
Does he have a backup of his EFS? If so you can flash via Odin any xxxEFSxxx.tar file and it will allow access to the phone, you can then backup whats needed and then restore the original EFS.

The kid is 3 years old, and his name is Emil. Just think for a second, if the phone where stolen or ill gotten, why go through this trouble?! The meetings, calander etc can be restored (with pain) but the photos etc cant be replaced! And as i do this, send phones to service, on a daylie basis i want to explorer any other options first as it will likely be wiped when it is returned!

Nothing saved on his part. Got NSPRO, z3x and SGTool and tried everything that i could think of with these tools, but as usb debbuging is off no codes could be read...
Thanks for the input, i´ll guess it will be a hail mary pass to send it in to Anovo, as the biggest servicecenter is called in Sweden.
What is a "usercode" to begin with if it's not the Pattern/PIN/Password lock?
Overcomming the Pattern/PIN/Password lock is rather easy, as Odia suggested, but you even can do it with custom kernel via root ADB in recovery, don't even need to flash a stock EFS, just delete all cryptoprop* files.

THAT sounds like the device encryption is enabled.
If that is really the case, there is nothing you can do without the password, as if you do the above, the password will be gone, but so is all the data as it can't be decrypted anymore.
0000 is always worth a try .

Thanks for the info.
The phone was setup by a former IT guy at the company he works at. That would explain why it is encrypted, as my friend is not very tech savvy.
Unfortunately the guy now works abroad and they have not been able to reach him, and i guess that servicecenters wont reset it with content remaining to avoid potential problems with info coming into the wrong hands.
Thanks all for the replies!
It's impossible to reset it without loosing/wiping the data when not knowing the password - that's the idea when encrypting it
Has nothing to do with service centers "not wanting", it's just technically not possible.
I can t unlock my phone even with the correct email account and password when the pattern fails(as i forgot the pattern).
And is there any way to recover my contacts if i do a hard reset( i never syncd my contacts anytime to my gmail acc)
Its running the stock 4.1.2 JB
Thanking you

firstly i didnt get you completely.. and secondly i have heard that there are some data recovey softwares which can recover messages as well as contacts.... so im in search for that "www" "datas-recovery.com/static/Android-Data-Recovery"
You could try the adb way, check this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800799
Make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options.
Hi, if anybody can help me I would surely appreciate it. So i did a hard reset on my phone. As I am setting up the phone i get to a page that says the phone is locked because of an abnormal reset, and to sign into the samsung account that was previously used on this phone to comfirm it belongs to me. I don't know what to do. A friend gave me this phone and says they don't have a Samsung account on it. Is there any way to bypass this? I have no idea if it is an OC1 or an OF1 if that matters. I appreciate any help that y'all can give. Thanks.
They had to set it up when they got the phone, unfortunately, it's locked without there password!!

Hi guy my mum recently purchased the samsung j3 off a private seller, it is unlocked only problem is upon booting the phone it asks for the original owners google account to get past the set up phase? We contacted the original owner but refusing to help us out. Was wondering what my options are as ive never seen this issue before.
Thanks.:good:

Okay, I would recommend taking a look at this video here! If that doesn't work you can always use Odin to re-flash the phones factory firmware. Let me know if you still have questions !
