    Yes the reset wont do any harm it may just be another factory reset but its got to be worth a try, if its a no win solution, I will contact samung in the morning as a mate works for them and might be able to help.

    no going back i'm afraid.

    i as alway say, never use eprom/eeprom resets on samsung phones as you also reset the phone calibration data which includes the battery charging characteristics/curve which in the worst case overheats the battery/can cause it to set on fire. but everyone wants free/free/free without knowing the consequences.

    there is no way back after reseting with a code, believe me i have tried every method there is to get pictures/contacts etc back, but nothing works. we get asked this question maybe 20 times a week.

    the latest problem is people using these codes on new msl2 security handsets thinking they will unlock it but after they discover there imei number is now set to all zero's (00000000000000) which is a barred number, so the phone does not work at all now, we get maybe 10-20 handsets a week like this. the worst thing is they are actually buying these codes.

    oh dear!
    my phone, touch wood is working. luckily, contract ends soon so i can get rid of the phone-ive always hated it.
    didnt realise it was such a common problem,thought i was one of few ppl stupid enough to take the risk
    ive got some of my contacts back (email, ringing around)-so dont feel as traumatised. its just gutting-the realisation of what's happened

    cheers

    I'm afraid it is a common problem with phones nowadays, you get so many people trying to cash in on things that you get wrong infromation or shoddy techniques of how to do things,most things posted on the web are of no use what so ever, for example codes to put in samsung phones to unlock them that when you turn the phone on and off you have to enter the code again.
    At least with this forum there are plenty of unocking experts like james-73,browntoa,drahcir amd myself who do phone unlocking for a living plus other members like gaming_guy who erally know whats what in the mobile world. All these people will happily assist you in any way and most of the time its to no or very little cost. We are on this site to help people and if we cant do it for free then we do it at no personal gain. Never take a risk with a phone, if in doubt give us a shout !!
