Ive locked my g1, too many wrong attempts on pattern code. now asking me for google email and password, as i normally used "hotmail" i made up a google one, now cant access it, tried everything through google but no luck, any factory rest modes when phone is locked??
1. Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit. 2. Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle. Now to wipe the device clean: 3. Press Alt+L. 4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset. 5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds. The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.
The only way to unlock the pattern is by entering your gmail.com user name and password. It can be difficult using the phone trying different combos you might have selected initially so I suggest sitting down at your computer and trying to sign into gmail. If you're gmail account is linked to an alternate email such as yahoo they will send it to you. Good luck! Robert
I had the same problem just this morning i called t-mobile and they told me to do a phone restore. you will lose any information you have on the phone...
I have a galaxy s the first ones that come out, my husban buy it for me and we broke up, so i tried to put mi info in it and it got loked, now i need a google account to get in my phone, but i don't have one, i have tried so many thing even taking it to the at&t and they told me that the account its at his name but i paid for ir, do someone know what can i do to re boot it or try to mak it go to my pictures and info, please need help
