I’ve tried to format my galaxy s with this code. But my phone says “Code rejected”. My galaxy s has a cellphone provider branding (Austria / A1) but no simlock and there are also some apps installed by this provider that i can’t remove.
Any idea from you guys? thx

This hard reset code _may_ have solved a severe GSM issue with my GT-S5570. A couple of more hours and light will be shed. Thanks! Oh, I send dead flowers to the guy at Samsung Phone Support who claimed “That code doesn’t work anymore, so don’t bother!” in reply to my question if this hard reset code would void warranty.

Hi, I tried this but when the Factory Format begins it just sits there, and the progress wheel freezes. If I press the home button, I’m able to return to the home screen. How can I complete the format????
