Oct 27, 2013 at 12:43 comment added Darth Egregious I was able to unlock the phone. It seems like the Android Device Manager mixup was only temporary, so when I tried locking the phone from there again, I was able to lock the correct phone and unlock it using the on screen keyboard.

Oct 27, 2013 at 2:08 comment added Darth Egregious I tried opening up the device and checking all the motherboard connections. I did notice that the digitizer seemed a bit loose, but that did not resolve my issue. I used the instructions in this tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=aa3r-k5cUB4
