What if the screen doesn’t work? My screen stopped working and i want to wipe the phone before sending it off for a replacement. It swiches on (i can hear the boot up sound), the 2 buttons at the bottom light up, but the screen stays off. If i connect to kies, it says it’s locked, but i have no way of unlocking it. None of these options will therefore work!
