Background details:
- I had a good working Galaxy S4 running Stock 4.4.4, with Root/Safestrap/TWRP (Phone was not encrypted)
- I rebooted into Safestrap and did a full TWRP backup to my ext SD card [fat32]
- I tried to install CM-12 zip via Recovery Mode, but I think I missed a step and something didn't work out. So I,
- Rebooted back into Safestrap and selected "Restore" from the options. Restore ran for a while, rebooted and restarted successfully.
Now here's the strange part. Restore appears to have completed successfully because I can now see my original wall paper and the unlock screen. BUT my 4-digit numeric PIN doesn't work to unlock the screen. And it looks like wifi and cell phone service aren't connecting. So I"m stuck. I've tried the known-good PIN multiple times, but same results.
I guess I could Odin back to stock and go through the process of installing all my app's and setting them up, but I really don't want to do that.
Any idea why my PIN would not work or would have changed?
