*PIC* Mystery passcode screen as my phone boots.... ANYBODY?

urgodfather · #1 (**permalink**) 02-23-2011, 11:34 AM

Ok so yesturday, I was flashing my phone and got stuck in bootloader. It gave me an error but I couldn't read it b/c half of it was covered by the Olinex info. I ended up reflashing SSPL on it to repair it. So, this morning while i was getting ready for school I noticed that the phone wasn't on like I had left it last night. I booted it and got this unusual passcode screen during startup. This isn't the typical windows passcode screen to unlock the phone. This one is different. It only takes up about 1/2 - 2/3 the screen. Its black, and has a green enter button. WTH is it? I'm at school right now, but when I get home later, I will take a picture of it and upload it so you can see what I'm talking about. I don't want to mess with it until I know what it is. Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Update on this mysterious passcode screen:

I've tried to simulate the same processes and flashes that I was initially doing the other night and have yet to see this MYSTERIOUS passcode screen. One thing that I forgot to mention is that I did attempt to put in a passcode only once when I first saw it. The passcode that I put in was 0000, but it didn't seem to accept it. What is ironic is that, while I was looking over various info using CDMA Workshop, QPST, and QXDM, I noticed that the LOCK CODE is 0000. Could it be that somehow, I acidently stumbled across a SECURITY LOCK screen? I'm not sure yet, but I'm gonna figure this out. Surely, SOMEBODY has seen this passcode screen.

Although that is funny, I'm definitely not buying it. LOL.

I'll update again after I get a chance to work on it.

My guess is that it has something to do with olinex due to the incomplete flash, that got bypassed after it was off for awhile. iow, the source of it was Olinex, but you'd never see it again unless you present Olinex with a partially flashed rom.

i thought it was some sort of dialer screen, but now that i think about it, it could have been a pass code screen. it looked about the size of the screen where you would enter 1234 for a hard reset.

Yeah your probably right that it has something to do it Olinex/ modified oembl/qcbl.

I dont remember anything orange, HOWEVER.... did you have Olinex on the TP2? I'm assuming you did. I'm noticing a coincidence, both were dead. I'm gonna leave mine in bootloader all night and let it die (b.c. it doesnt charge.) MAYBE, that might give some feedback???

OK!!! I booted up the phone again and it reappeared!!!! Theres a message that says "your phone is locked" and this passcode screen appears. HOWEVER, this one that I just saw didnt look exactly the same as the last one, BUT that may be b/c I have a different rom on here now. Either way, that has shown as a trend. Now that I've recreated the problem, I'm doing again with it hooked to this computer so that I can take a pic of it with MyMobiler.

Cool! I was hoping you would be able to take a picture of it!
