If you are positive that you’re now locked out and you can’t figure out the correct unlock code, these are the things that you can try: Force restart
There’s only a limited amount of attempts that you can try before your S7 will lock up and prevent you from using the same unlock code (PIN, Pattern, or fingerprint). My S7 is only 6 months old, it was working fine this morning, but suddenly the screen came up with the lock sign and said swipe screen to unlock, having swiped the screen it said enter password and then underneath the password box it said emergency call only, I have never set a password, but if I had and forgotten it there is no where you can ask to change it, it will however still allow phone calls in, but I can not get it to switch off, I did remove the sim card and replaced it after a few minutes it is still the same. Problem #2: How to unlock your Galaxy S7 if you’ve forgotten the PIN or password You can do that by letting Samsung repair the device. So, if you want to update from Android 6 to, say, Android 7, you need to ensure that your phone’s charging port is working properly first. That process will need a good working charging port. Naturally, Samsung won’t be able to help you either because the only way to make operating system level changes is by booting the phone to Odin Mode and flashing of stock firmware. So, yeah, if your S7 charging port is not working right to allow flashing of more advanced Android version to your device, there’s really no option for you update from Android 6.0.1. In the same vein, T-Mobile can’t also update non-T-Mobile devices using their own firmware version. Your S7 device right now runs a T-Mobile firmware and can only be updated using an OTA update from T-Mobile. It may not be an ideal situation for you but the reason for that is obvious. If you use a T-Mobile branded S7 in a non-T-Mobile network, you won’t be able to download OTA update to it. Am I stuck on 6.0.1 forever? I’ve called USA Samsung support and emailed them and they are of 0 help because it is an international phone. I can’t update it OTA, the phone says its the latest version, and USB isn’t working right. It has been stuck on Android 6.0.1 and a 2016 security patch. My phone’s USB data pins have been glitchy since purchase (VR doesn’t work because of it) so I can’t update that way. It is running a T-Mobile Data Only SIM, with Google Hangouts handling text and voice. Problem #1: Galaxy S7 can’t install OTA update due to broken charging port If you are wondering how to unlock your own locked Galaxy S7 or any Samsung phone, make sure to follow our suggestions below. While the case we handle here talks about an unlocked #GalaxyS7 device, the solutions can be applied all across other Samsung devices. Many Android users tend to forget how to unlock their devices all the time so we come up with this short article.
