    hey guys and gals,

    I've set a password on my device this morning after setting it up from scratch with no restore..
    .. well now i cannot unlock the device. The swipe up gesture does not show the passwrod insertion window, it just shows nothing... swipe down goes back to the onscreen notification..

    anyone with the same issue? any fix found?
    thank you

    I just logged into crackberry from a freinds phone to ask about this. I have done countless resets and battery pulls and still nothing comes up in the lockscreen for me to unlock it. It is just a brick at this stage. Any ideas?

    it worked fine for two days, after setting a password the lock screen does not respond anymore...

    it is definetely not bricked, this is a OS problem..

    do you guys have password set on your devices?

    normal password?
    picture password?

    I tried to connect the phone to BBLINK this morning, thinking that i could unlock the device from the computer. and although i get asked for my password, the device itself wont unlock

    before re installing the OS, i get i'll try to wipe it, that should work

    im guessing the official 10.2.0

    Ill wait for a more stable 10.2.1, or at least one that gives me access to my phone

    Not sure if it will work on .1055 or not but I am on Z10STL100-2/10.2.1.575 and it sometimes just shows the a blacked out screen when I swipe up to unlock.
    The fix I found was to bring up the turning off screen and then press cancel and it would bring me the the password input screen.

    ok the LINK restore is actually a security WIPE, so i'm still on 10.2.1.1055.

    GUYS this leak has great features, BUT it's pretty unstable, watch out..
    I'm surely not gonna set it up minimalistically until a newer more stable leak comes out

    have fun
