Hi,

I have a problem with gt-i8190. It has a gesture lock, which I've forgotten.
So I thought I could wpie data/factory reset, but I cant't enter Recovery Mode.
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157105&highlight=cwm (the 2mb part)
While flashing with ODIN, it seemed to work. Odin succeeded.
But on S3 Mini Screen I got this error message: "movi-write card_status:2 ...."

After Reboot, nothing changed.
Phone boots up normally. Gesture lock is still there.

Same happens if I flash a whole stock rom via ODIN. I tried this stock ROM: HOME_I8190XXAMG4_I8190OXAAMG4_1332988_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
After flash, nothing changed.

Maybe someone is willing to help?

Thanks in advance.

The three button combo caused the movi_write card status:2 message.
Did you hold vol up+home+power for access recovery?
And if you forgot your gesture lock then you need to type it 5-10 times wrong till you see this message "pattern forgotten?" Then you unlock your phone easy with your Google account or pin :)
The last way is flashing a recovery via Odin.

you could have unlocked it if you already had a google account linked to the phone without having to go through this process

i have a feeling you downloaded firmware might be corrupt, redownload and try again with odin

Of course I tried.

Nice trick, but I also forgot my account and pass.

try flashing other cwm. or you can try twrp recovery.

I tried 5 different firmwares.
Everytime I try to flash with Odin, it throws errors on the screen of the phone.
Odin says success, but nothing changes after flash.

Tried also the russian goldenxx.pit
Always the same problem.
