Samsung SM-G900W8: Can't wipe secuirty [Solved] - GSM-Forum

sabotage99 · 03-30-2015, 19:08

Hi, im sure this has been posted a bunch of times but i can't seem to wipe the security on a SM-G900W8 no matter what I do. Ive tried clearing cache and retrying at least 50 times, tried factory resetting, tried, writing new firmware. It just won't wipe out the IMEI. A lot of times Octopus software will also crash while im trying to wipe security also. What can i do? Im running the latest 1.90 for octopus software and the phone is on firmware 4.4.2. Please help!

have you tried unplugging phone and pulling out battery for about 15 seconds then wipe security?
