If I’m not wrong base by what you wrote, if the problem happen you just try to do soft reset by removing the battery of Samsung Galaxy Mega, Why don’t you try to do hard reset with the step from SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA by go to menu: Setting > Backup & Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device and Choose Delete All. And see what happen after that.

But doing hard reset or master format our Samsung Galaxy S4 will make all downloaded / installed applications and important data will be removed from our smartphone. Please backup your important data before doing hard reset. There are not options to hard reset but keep our installed applications without lose any setting options.

    • Hi, when you get problem with forgotten security pattern for Samsung Galaxy S4, you still can try to unlock using Google account or Gmail account that you already sign-in when the first time we activate this phone. Please remember when try to unlock or bypass forgotten security pattern protections, you have to make sure the Internet connection is active at this phone. Do not remove GSM card, and your GSM card should already have Internet data connections. If you still can not access your Google account, you have to do hard reset with hardware key button. You should do the process carefully and try several time when you can not access that menu.

    • Hi, unfortunately we can not restore back your data while already removed when doing hard reset or reset to factory default, because your wiped or erased data might rewrite with other file from OS source, so it kind of imposible to get it back or unformat or undelete it. Well, maybe some applications have promise at their descriptions to undelete or restore back, but usually we can not get good result for that.
