Locked Keon with 1 digit security code - Can't unlock

[Avash Mulmi]

Hi All,

Just received my Keon, and while I was playing with it, I tried to put a
security code. From nowhere I thought to use a one digit security code.
Yes, the phone accepted it, but now I can't unlock it with the same code.

Is there anything I can do except flashing to unlock the phone?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

I don't understand how you can use only 1 digit, i tried it and requires 4 digits.

The only way is wipe your data.

Three ways to do it:
1.- If you have adb enabled:
- adb shell wipe data
- adb reboot
2.- If not you can use recovery.
- power off the phone or remove and put the battery
- push volup+power (will start on recovery)
- select with volume keys and circle/power: wipe data/factory reset.
- Select reboot system now.

3.- You need to use fastboot:
- power off the phone or remove and put the battery
- push volup+power (screen will be black)
- fastboot -w
- fastboot reboot

​ello Avash,

I​ didn't run into such an issue yet but have you tried to apply left
padding to your security number?

​Even though it might be unlikely, try to add zeros in front or after your
security number.

Hi Octavian,
Thanks for the reply. Sadly it did not work! :(

Hi Avash,

That's ... unfortunate.

Could you file a bug, or just tell me how did you manage to put only 1
digit security code? Settings app shouldn't accept it.

In the main time, if you have already enabled remote debugging (i.e.
|adb shell| access from computer), you should be able to |rm| the
entire settings db, which blow away the passcode w/ all the settings.

I wouldn't recommend you do that on a Keon. I've heard reports (though I
haven't tried it myself) that factory reset doesn't work on a Keon and will
render the device unbootable.
