Hi,
My GT-I9195 sourced from Europe as an airline rewards item. Fortunately, was travelling to UK and took advantage of advice from documentation and confirmed with Samsung in UK that as long as phone used in Europe for 5 mins of calls, it would accept new SIM from provider in Australia without problem ie it would have unlocked itself from Europe zone. (on return to Australia, phone still receiving messages from Vodaphone in UK with original 1 month only expired SIM.) Before getting and installing new SIM, I set a PIN, didn't use phone for a month and committed worst sin of forgetting PIN. So I have two options I think.
1) Do factory reset and then cope with region reset since I am assuming phone will revert to Europe only. Not worried about losing data.
2) Clear PIN using one of methods available on XDA such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2397797 but this will work with debug mode only. In order to set debug mode need access to settings which is not possible with phone PIN locked. So catch 22.
Would appreciate any advice with this. Would value simplest solution since although I am PC competent, phones are a whole new area for me. Thanks in advance.
