MDM denies factory reset? Install "RETAIL MODE", uninstall, and try again.

Guys, I'm *WAY LATE* on this, but maybe it'll help someone else. I've got a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V that has the "MDM Deny" problem -- it seems to have been a demo unit flashed to 5.0 and then sold. I fixed this problem without rooting by (of all things) installing the "US GALAXY NOTE 3 RETAIL MODE" from the Play Store. [Note: THIS IS THE STORE LOCKDOWN APP.) After installing, I ran it BUT DIDN'T ENTER THE PASSWORD TO ACTIVATE, and then canceled. The service was still running in the pull-down window; I clicked on it to disable and then uninstalled the app.

The upshot of this was: next time I attempted to reset the MDM denial was gone and I was able to reset successfully. If you're trying to get root and can't do a factory reset in order to get there from here, try this.

Good, just when I was getting adjusted with the newly introduced Interruptions mode.

I just need one more thing now, the upcoming alarm time enabling on lock screen like KitKat. Wish someone makes a mod of that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ricnar456:
Is not necesary changw the icon to priority interruptions and you have alarm sound always and you can configure if you want calls and messages notifications and filter which user can interrupt you.

Silent mode is obsolete now.

Hi.

So after flashing new recovery to CWM 6.0.4.8 to get kitkat and lollipop roms for my HOX any rom i flash gets stuck at the loading screen for the rom and wont go any further, yet when i go back to android revolution it works fine with new recovery flashed.

Any ideas?

My phone was rooted using Kingo Root, I flashed SlimKat rom, when I tried using Odin to flash back to stock, it bricked, it doesn't boot, it goes directly to "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please Select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

I tried using Kies, it won't detect it, I had two techns who tried legally they can't do anything obviously, it won't even boot into recovery bootloader.

Is my phone really dead?

WOOO. Thank you XDA, all I had to do was flash a custom recovery again, and it booted no issues,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Odin probably tried to downgrade your bootloader. If you were on a bootloader at or beyond MJB that is probably what bricked your phone.

You might be able to bring it back with a debrick image. Debrick images are usually specific to your bootloader, so if you know what firmware you were running prior to this it would be helpful.

You'll need an external SD card to stand in for your internal storage until you get things synced back up, and you'll have to do some very specific formatting and image writing to that external SD.

Search the forums for debrick image and you should find some helpful threads. I've never had to do this myself, but I have heard some success stories. Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you see the upgrade firmware screen, your phone is not totally bricked.

Can you get into download mode? If you can, just flash a custom recovery, flash the latest cm10.2, verify your boot loader, and post back here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SCagg:
I can go into downloading mode, I flashed CWMS3ATTrecovery before thats what was on it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Copy the most recent cm10.2 to an external SD card.

Use Odin to flash the most recent tar.md5 from Philz for the d2lte from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/

After flashing Odin, boot to recovery and flash cm10.2 so you can get your phone running and determine the bootloader on your phone.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polytek:
I realize that this is a hardware question on a site that isn't particularly focused on parts, but I'm frustrated and looking for input, and there are a lot of knowledgeable people here.

I spiderwebbed the touchscreen digitizer glass on my AT&T Tab S 8.4 SM-T707A. Samsung USA will do in-house repair on the unit, but it will take about 2 weeks with shipping, and cost $265 USD. I'm looking for another option.

BUT

I can't seem to find a replacement part anywhere, and I can't seem to find any kind of parts list or compatibility list either. I *can* find parts for the T700 and T705:

at aliexpress & parts4repair (sorry new poster, so no links)

laptopscreen.com has a listing for the Tab S 8.4", but the details within the listing (screen dimensions) are incorrect (they are for the 10.1"), and we all know there are a handful of different models, and the screen details are NOT identical across them.

It appears that the LCD and touchscreen digitizer are a single unit for replacement. Samsung USA would not tell me the part number, and insisted that the unit is "not user serviceable".

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maduro78:
I found a few on eBay but it was cheaper just paying Samsung to fix it. A local fix it store said he'd try to separate screen from LCD but offered no guarantee of not breaking it. Sending to Sammy was my best option.

Now I cant start the phone it always start in download mode with the error message " could not do normal boot " . As I wrote the phone is bought today and I forgot to enable usb debugging. What could I do know? (At the moment I downlaod a custom rom, but the download is really slow, and try to throw it by adb sideload on the galaxy. Dont know if it words, but didn't hinkt it will work.)

Has anybody a solution for my issue?

[General Questions and Answers] laramaki:
Hello, I'm working on my own XPeria Z1 (c6943) porting and all is working except for the display brightness.

The brightness is supposed to range from 0..4095 as far as I know, but its max_brightness is set to 255. The result is the backlight is darker than it should be.

I tried tweaking thermanager.xml and init.rhine.rc (rhine board) with no avail. Seems like I'm unable to write to /sys/class/leds/wled:backlight/max_brightness. I can chown, chmod, but can't echo into it, nor by means of the init*.rc files. I can even echo to max_current, changing from 20 to 25.

Now I'm trying to fiddle with the kernel, but I'm still lost on how do I go there.

Any help on this?

My apologies if I am posting on the wrong forum, but I'm still out of privileges and new to xda (as a writer).
[General Questions and Answers] laramaki:
So I managed to resolve the problem. I had to tweak the kernel leds.h header file for this specific device.

$KERNEL/include/linux/leds.h

enum led_brightness {
LED_OFF = 0,
LED_HALF = 2047,
LED_FULL = 4095,
};

Thereafter, compiling, copying the newly-generated zImage as kernel into the proper dirs and we are good again.

Hope this helps anyone lost on the same issue.

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Go to Google and search for "bad esn", the first result you get should be a very helpful article by eBay. It's quite in depth and outlines the dangers in buying a phone with a bad esn. Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

Im in the same situation. I have a US Cellular Galaxy S5 that i purchased online to unlock but i havent found an unlocking website or its only for international GSM unlock. I want a domestic unlock and I live in the middle of Arizona with no US Cellular stores.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylvisj:
Most unlock codes don't work on CDMA-locked devices/carriers (Verizon, US Cellular, Sprint) due to how differently CDMA phones ID themselves on a network - the SIM card is essentially only used for LTE, so a SIM unlock is useless. I haven't been able to find much hard information on it, but the process (as I understand it, someone else please correct me if wrong) involves the carrier a phone is locked to unlocking the phone, removing any codes which that carrier uses to ID the phone on the network, and handing it off to you. Think of it as a reverse provisioning.

For that reason, you're pretty much got to take the phone in. USCC doesn't want you to jump on the unlock fad and accidentally hose your phone for use on their network should you just be experimenting, so actually going in and talking to them provides a nice chance to make sure you know what you're doing and want to go through with it. I also don't think they've got the auto-unlock infrastracture in place (as opposed to auto provision).

Also, keep in mind - the CDMA S5s don't use full frequency bands like the GSM ones do. This will show you which ones the USCC one uses - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_cdma-6338.php - look for G900R4. You should be ok on AT&T/Cricket or T-Mobile but it looks like you'd be pretty well hosed on another CDMA carrier.

Hey guys

Been looking for a case for my g3 for a while and having a hard time finding exactly what I want...

I want to know if anyone has seen anything out there like that I am looking for...

Essentially, i want the G3 flip cover (that replaces the battery cover and has at the least NFC) but no quick circle hole... since I am running cm12, there are no apps for the quick circle and want something that doesnt have the hole for it...

Does that make sense?

I am finding some that dont have the hole but they are snap on cases, they dont replace the battery cover like the G3 case does...

Or if anyone has any ideas or seen anything on how to modify the case I have now (have the one with the quick circle)....

I was thinking about covering the inside with velvet or something... but cant think of anything to cover the hole
[G3 Accessories] AllstarE4:
I imagine everything aftermarket would be a snap on. You might check aliexpress or another similar site. They typically have OEM style accessories.
[G3 Accessories] ItsJacobee:
Hated that about switching to Cyanogenmod! It's so much better, but I have three different QuickCircle cases and they're useless. Wish they'd add support for at least the clock!

Well, I searched and I couldn't find anything either. Perhaps you can make a hybrid of the two cases. You can get a QuickCircle case with QI and NFC for $12 brand new on eBay, then maybe you could cut off the front and take a different case that doesn't take the back and put that front on it. If you're good at sewing or glueing it might just work!
[G3 Accessories] c_86:
Ya all I did was glue a soft piece of material on the inside of the circle case I have and layered from carbon fibre vinyl cut into circles to fill the circle. It worked. But it wasn't as pretty as I hoped. But it works for now till I find something.

Windows 8.1, Rooted 4.4.4

I have recently done a factory reset and at some point my computer stopped recognizing my phone. If I let windows run through its own attempt at installing the driver, its recognized as a generic Samsung android device which Windows lists as a modem.

I have read the other xda threads, downloaded drivers from samsung site, kies, installed, uninstalled, rebooted, checked, unchecked options including USB debugging (which is not even what I'm trying to do), deleted all non-working driver instances in Device Manager, changed usb cord & port, tried other PC, removing microSD, all to no avail.

I have double-checked what I have frozen in Titanium Backup, but no relevant apps are affected. I tried wiping the cache/Dalvik cache, just because I thought it might help somehow. I'm thinking it must be a phone-side issue because nothing in windows is getting me anywhere. Has anyone here any ideas of what could be the culprit?

You need to get the latest rom from your carrier and get your device working again.
