Help Please! Stuck on screen unlock pattern

[Guest paper doll]

I've had this phone for a week and have unlocked it and installed a few programs and now it's stuck on the screen unlock pattern as the touchscreen is totally unresponsive although the buttons work okay.

There is also an exclamation mark in the top left hand corner in a triangle.

I have taken the battery out and put it back in several times but it is still the same and have taken the micro SD card out as well but it makes no difference.

Is there any combinations of buttons that would reset it?

I don't want to replace the phone really as it is the OLED one and the screen protector has only just settled down and the bubbles disappeared.

Thanks.

probably too late but it might have been worth using fastboot to wipe the data partition etc

The phone has been replaced by another one, which has a dodgy power button (well even more dodgy than the rest) and won't power up so another one tomorrow, thankfully this will be the last one and I can get another model when this one breaks, otherwise I'll be getting a new phone every couple of days.

those phones are such bad quality :)

Had mine for 3 months with no problems, couple of guys at work have them too, perhaps you might want to consider the motorola defy? Your not called theo thopelopodus(sp) are you :-P

If you have clockwork then boot into it and select the various wipe options, otherwise search the forum for installing USB drivers and then use

fastboot erase data

etc

Out of my price range I'm afraid, looking at something more like the Huawei Ideos, but will have to get an Orange phone and they don't have an equivalent at that price.

clockwork doesn't work :), does it remove clockwork too? and afterwards i should flash a new rom? can i flash the rom with fastboot?!

May I ask did your replacement phone come from an orange store or did you have to post your handset out and await a new one? I bought mine from the telesales number and am hoping to get a replacement in store if I can't fix my screen myself.

Bought online and someone comes out and delivers the new one and takes the old one, imagine telesales is the same.

Thanks, had my 1 week old TFT with a dead screen picked up today and replaced with a fully functional OLED handset! Wasn't expecting that but the screen looks great, and now I can get some custom ROM action on the go.
