[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Thank you for the additional details.

It is a novel situation. But the evidence heavily argues that your phone is actually a 900F.

The 900A has a locked bootloader, so it's very implausible that someone would have been able to change that to the current 900F bootloader as reflected in the baseband. The label and frankly everything except the download screen suggests that it is an F variant. The 900A reported in the download screen appears to be spurious and is no doubt reflective of some small anomaly in the IMEI assignment scheme or some such causing incorrect information on that screen..

The difficulties with Odin do not suggest that you have a 900A. Odin is well known for being fussy and temperamental. Try flashing the exact same stock version of firmware that the phone currently has just to confirm that Odin works. Cables are a big issue and people sometimes have to try half a dozen different cables before seeing success. Move your computer to a different location or borrow a different computer if necessary.

You will succeed if you are persistent. Odin is simply stubborn.

Thanks for replaying =)

Well, I will try to do so tomorrow , hope everything will go well :fingers-crossed: I will write to tell you the results .
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakr87:
Well , first of all - sorry for the very late answer

Second - I tries other version of ODIN, other STOCK roms, other cables ,but no use. I get the same error. I am almost sute that I have the G900A that had been modified somehow by someone to make it look like a G900F :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guetzli32:
One thing that should probably be cleared up: is your vendor a carrier or some back street 2x3 sqm phone booth type store? Is the vendor officially authorised by Samsung/AT&T/your carrier? It might have happened that you bought some weird clone, or just a G900A or F that someone modified?

You also mentioned that the phone is "rooted", which suggests this theory. See if you can get a look at the system files via root browser and if you can make changes to them.

What could also have happened, your seller might have reselled a broken phone that someone brought back to the shop.

If you could provide more infos on where you bought your phone, that might help us solve the case.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakr87:
The sad answer is yes ! I installed root explorer and I can see system files and other prove is that I installed another root checking application "Simple root checker" and here is a screenshot to what I found .

So what can be done ? returning it is not an option =(

Well I am okay as long it's an original s5:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guetzli32:
Okay, I am now almost sure as of what happened.

Someone rooted your phone, went into /system/build.prop and changed the line ro.product.model from the AT&T(SM-G900A) to the international one(SM-G900F). Also, the Knox counter is still on 0x0, which can only be kept like that via towelroot. In addition, towelroot used to be one of the rare ways to root an AT&T or Verizon S5 model.

I am 99.9% sure your phone is actually an AT&T one.

This also explains why you can't flash anything: the AT&T bootloader is locked, which prevents you from flashing.

So, if you wanna get your SM-G900A back, just change the build prop line mentioned above back to SM-G900A.

Hope this cleared things up :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakr87:
Thanks for helping me all the way =)

I have a few more questions to ask :confused:

How can I return the original firmware ? do I have to use the buil.prop line or can I just install the AT&T firmware using ODIN ? and how to do that if I need to change the build prop line ? And by installing the AT&T firmware, will I be getting a locked phone ? I mean a sim-locked telephone
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guetzli32:
You are on the stock firmware. You only have to change the build.prop line, and then it's completely stock AT&T firmware. And no, you won't get a sim locked phone :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakr87:
Thanks =)

I think I am going to wait and see if I need to change the the build.prop line ! and what application to use ?

( If I wont be getting the the next android update then it's a must do )

ooh, by the way, how can I remove the root ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guetzli32:
I recommend "Root Explorer" to edit the build.prop. You can unroot by installing an app called "SuperSU" from Play store, in the settings of that app there is an option to unroot. You should change the build.prop before you unroot, it won't work afterwards ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakr87:
Okay I got that =)

Could you upload the build.prop file for the G900A ? I haven't been lucky finding it =(

I think I am going to install the original build prop and then unroot the phone like you said )

And can I just install the stock at&t firmware ( from sammobile) without risking getting a sim locked phone ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DylanE1:
ART?

Are you runing dalvik or ART? Private mode doesn't seem to work under ART!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guetzli32:
This question doesn't belong here!

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

I can't upload you the file, since I have the G900F :) and when you can't find it, I can't either(probably).

Changing the one line should be enough. I repeat, ro.product.model is what you wanna change.

I don't know if that'll SIM lock you phone, since I don't have those problems(Swiss Carriers don't SIM lock phones :) maybe someone else with an AT&T model can tell you that...?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DylanE1:
I bought a galaxy s5 ( the 900F) module from CHINA and it is original. I checked everything and it was all OK ! In the "about device" section it shows my phone's model number as "SM-900F" . For some reason private mode did not work at all !

seems that it does too me, aside from his other issues..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guetzli32:
well, you didn't say that stuff in your first post so i was assuming you were in the wrong thread.

what exactly happens when you want to start up Private mode?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSmithXDA:
Hey folks

I'm on Verizon and I'm on day 1 of my 14 day return policy for my G3. I'd like to root it (seems like ioroot is compatible with Verizon) and tweak things, but just in case I find something broken with the phone, I need to be able to remove root in case I need to return it. Is this possible yet? Will a factory reset remove root? If not, how is it done (if it can be done)?

Bonus question: If I root it with ioroot and install xposed to perform tweaks on the stock rom, will ota updates still work?

Thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suljo94:
You can unroot it by flashing stock rom LINK and ota updates will be able and you can download them but you can't acctualy update do to phone detecting root
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baguett:
Sorry but i am going to borrow this post. I have the D855 and i am rooted via towelroot. Currently on V10a and i received an OTA notification. Obviously i could not install it so how do i get updates? TWRP did not list the G3 on supported devices.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
Don't think that works on Verizon.

Hi,

Yesterday I've turned off using soft key my Qtek 9100 whilst it was connected through USB to my laptop and charging. I observed that led which indicates charging also turned of but thought that's normal behaviour.

And... today's morning when I tried to turn device on it's not possible. I've also tried to soft reset and it also doesn't help.

What can I do now? What to check in order to find what's wrong with device?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dawid
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] clemsyn:

Try charging using the AC power adapter. Was the battery level low when it was connected to the laptop?You see the amp on usb port is only 500 and may not be able to charge the attery if went dead. Goodluck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DawidK:
I've tried to recharge it using charger which comes with my GPS as it has same parameters (5VDC/1A) as charger supplied with Qtek 9100. And I was able to start device but after a few seconds it turned off again.

It meant for me that with hardware everything is ok and I started to find original charger which finally solved problem.

Clemsyn - many thanks for your help!

When I first did it I did do advance wipe with everything except SD card selected. I did the towelroot again but no avail. Would I have to fully stock it through download? Man or should I try the Ota update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rbedell:
Do not update if you have the chance. I would restore in Odin if you don't have the chance to try the re root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adrian1520:
When you say rerooting do you simply mean rerunning towelroot? Or is there another method I can try? I currently am rooted still Idk if that matters. Thanks for the help rbedell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rbedell:
After installing different roms you can lose root. Just run the towel root again, reboot OS, reinstall Safestrap. Might not be your problem though. If not Odin the AP file of your current android version.

My Note II (N7100) won't start up and I don't know what is the cause. The text "galaxy note 2" is showing and right after that, the text buzzes away.

I already tried to flash stock rom, but it did not help (I don't know if I had the right one, however, on download mode it says samsung official. My device is the international version, I live in Holland. Also, in download mode, the screen does not shift like it does in recovery mode and in the startup animation).

I also tried to get into recovery mode, and managed to restore to factory settings and wipe cache, options in recovery mode were hard to read because of the shifting screen. Please help me.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant_cc:
Hi everyone,

I bought my nexus 4 about a year ago, and very recently I decided to give Cyanogenmod a try. I must say this was the first custom ROM I flashed on my device, and I'm quite fond of it. I also flashed a modified version of the latest franco.kernel for CM (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53707610&postcount=459)

The thing is that I noticed that my phone doesn't vibrate when it's supposed to. In fact, it doesn't vibrate at all; no matter what I try, it just doesn't. For the record, it had been working flawlessly until a few days ago.

So far I've tried:

- Disabling/Enabling vibration in keyboard, notifications and calls

- Rebooting my device several times

- Updating to 20140723 nightly (I was previously on M8)

- Disabling quiet hours

I've been doing some reading, and some old threads advise to perform a factory reset, but it's kind of a hassle for me to re-sync all the photos and stuff. So, is there anything I should try before I do a factory reset? Should I try and flash a different kernel/go back to stock kernel?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It's most likely a hardware issue. I'd backup the phone and then flash the factory image. If it still doesn't vibrate it's a hardware issue. It doesn't cost much to replace the vibrator. Do it yourself or find a local cell repair shop.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
I would rather change the kernel first and see if there is any issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant_cc:
I flashed the latest CM nightly, which also changes the kernel to CM stock. This time you can hear the little buzz when you turn on the phone, but that's pretty much all the vibration I get. Phone calls and haptic feedback still don't work. At least, I know it's not a hardware issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I still think it's hardware. Roms can change the force it vibrates at. But if it's still low the vibrator is bad.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ant_cc:
Maybe I wasn't very clear; the vibration force is OK, but the thing it that it only vibrates on startup, it doesn't buzz in incoming calls or any of that. So that's why I think the vibrator isn't broken

[Samsung Gear Live] SkuzFoz:
I sort of expect it to be like the Galaxy Nexus. A few people got unlucky and had bad burn-in, for others it generally took about 2 years of solid use. That's definitely going to be accelerated by having it on all of the time. I've been using Simple Watchface which moves the time/date in always-on mode which will prevent burn-in.
