well i wont say that i'm so much disappointed in sony that i'll move to samsung. that's never gonna happen. sony may not provide timely updates, but its still the best in its class in terms of performance, battery and camera. samsung nowhere comes close to that. maybe HTC and certain nokia models. but samsung has been and will always remain ****ty in my eyes. but i understand it has its own fan base, but anyone who has used a different phone after using a samsung will know not to move back, at least not to stock samsung. maybe a custom ROM on samsung phones works better, i dnt really know never having used any.
[Xperia Z2 General] deep7177:
Dude all manufactures are ****ty back when zperia Z was launched my friends phone broke in his pocket, they quoted him Rs20000 phone was worth Rs35ooo at that tym. same with Lumia Rs 8000 for screen for a phone worth 10000. Both phone are paperweight now. Samsung may be bad in user interface or in looks department but they get things done (Higher mid range Phone).

I am not a Samsung Fan, I'm using Xperia Z2 and Galaxy S2(since 2011 and still working great). I knw about phone . Still bought z2 despite above reasons. have many phones in my friend circle

Following are the updates:

1. Most common complain that Close All is not available, but Sony did a good work in adding that

2. Battery statistics are not updating correctly. Maybe once it is on device for couple of hours it will be fine. There is no undue drain on battery.

3. Sony has retained the standard look and feel nothing much to go gaga in that region.

4. Unlock by Bluetooth is not available in lollipop. This was working great in kitkat.

Anyone out there willing to help guide me through the process of getting the retail mode removed form a samsung galaxy s5? Of course Im willing to compensate you for your time if we can get it to work.

Ive got no experience with Rom's and or installing a rom and the basic passwords have not worked on getting the software removed. Any help would be appreciated.

PhoneDoctor1
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Which S5 model have you got?

Make a free account on sammobile dot com (Links are not allowed here)

Type your model S5 into the firmware section and download a ROM

Grab ODIN 3.09 or later (Easy to find with a quick google)

Extract the ROM from the zip, should end up with .MD5 file

Install Samsung drivers (Easy to find with a quick google or Installing KIES3 will also install them)

Put phone into download mode (Power off, then hold Vol down & Home & power, release when the warning appears and hit volume up when asked)

Connect phone to PC USB and wait for drivers to complete installing

Load .MD5 ROM into AP or PDA section of ODIN

Make sure only 'F.Reset Time' and 'Auto Reboot' options are selected in ODIN

Hit START on ODIN and wait for it to complete

All being well, your phone should reboot into the ROM, take a while for first boot, especially if you flash a Lollipop ROM (give it 15 mins+)

Some people find it hangs on first boot, and need to boot into recovery mode and factory reset after flashing the ROM
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneDoctor1:
Same results.

*Detection* Thank you so much for your prompt response and help with this. Unfortunately the steps you provided didn't work for me. I was able to Get Odin, download the correct ROM, drivers, and everything. I installed the ROM on the phone (Took 4 minutes) though ODIN and it stated that it succeeded. Phone restarted and retail mode was back on the phone.

Any other options to get it removed?

Some instructions here on how to disable retail mode

http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-disable-exit-galaxy-s5-demo-live-unit-retail-mode/

How to delete, disable and exit Demo Live Unit Retail Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S5

1. The first thing to do is to disable the retail mode of the firmware.

2. Go to the app drawer and open an app called Samsung Retail.

3. Go to Configuration Settings and enter the password 5444 to unlock it.

4. Then uncheck “Disable the factory reset” and enter the following password M729Q16K8546.

5. Turn your Samsung Galaxy S5 off and boot into Recovery.

6. Go to Wipe data & factory reset and press OK.

7. The phone will reset and all the applications will get removed.

8. Flash a stock firmware with ODIN (tutorial).

There must be something different about this retail mode. It looks different than the others shown in previous posts or youtube videos. I can't seem to disable the app and the passwords don't work.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I had a similar issue with a laptop once (purchased the display model).....

The only thing that fixed it was formatting the hard drive and re installing everything from the recovery discs......

I guess the equivalent for Android would be to flash a PIT file (I think this will reformat the memory) then the firmware (both) with odin........

If you DO go this route, be EXTREMELY careful to flash the CORRECT pit file as flashing the wrong pit will irrevocably brick your phone.........

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneDoctor1:
I appreciate the help and responses. From my understanding the retail mode can not be removed. It seems that Samsung specially designed these phones with software that can't just easily be flashed.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WirelessATL:
Successfully removed Retail Mode from AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A

I had just about given up on a straightforward fix, and was about to resort to some major firmware manipulation that would have likely led me to all sorts of confusion. It turns out the password was "rethink" as is listed in multiple places across the web. (AT&T SM-G900A Galaxy S 5) It is applied to the Samsung Retail Mode app which has a "burger" icon in top right corner of the screen that must be selected first to lead towards password entry. This is not the "Retail Experience" app, but the other similar one. Once the Retail Mode app is uninstalled, there are intuitive steps leading to uninstalling of the "Retail Experience" one next, with no new passwords.
[General Topics] facuarmo:
Hi guys, right today, I'm going to do my first mini-guide, on how to flash any Alcatel One Touch Idol-series device, that flashing process will unbrick it in any way, so if you bricked it playing with system settings or system files, this will help you to unbrick it. Let's go:

Rememember:

I'll not take responsability of ANYTHING that happen to your phone.

Suggestion:

Don't re-flash it if it's just running slow, it's a VERY dangerous task, before, try doing a Factory Reset!

Okay, in my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) the ways that Alcatel (or better meaning, MediaTek-based devices) handle flashing processes, is:

PRELOADER > DSP_BL > UBOOT

That, meaning, if you don't touch (badly) those partitions on the phone, you shouldn't get it bricked, doing anything yo do, it shouldn't get never hard-bricked. Then, start the unbrick process:

REQUIRED:

-

SP Flash Tool:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3muzsmsw0wb67uw/SP-Flash-Tool-v3.1344.0.212.zip(external link, not by my own)

WARNING:

Later versions may give you an error, and shouldn't complete the flash process, take care!

-

Alcatel MT6577 Drivers:

(just for MTK MT6577-based phones, you may download yours) it's for Alcatel One Touch Idol 6030a, the one that I own. (uploaded by me) http://www.mediafire.com/download/buqgsop67cb7s21/MT6577_USB_VCOM_drivers.zip | MIRROR - on MEGA - (also by me)

- Alcatel One Touch Idol 6030a Flashable Files (all in one pack, created by me): https://mega.co.nz/#!5w4yRTbb!2JM2gqumjxxEHrTG3qL13-UR8SiW2WYGCDetkBfxicg

NOTE:

Also contains Scatter file, so your phone don't need to boot to start the flash process.

1 - [RECOMMENDED] Format your "/data" partition with TWRP or ADB (Android Debugging Bridge)

2 - Download, unpack and install drivers: http://imgur.com/a/2QyJG (HOWTO)

3 - Download and extract SP Flash Tool, then, open it. http://imgur.com/a/XzZmw (HOWTO)

4 - Select the required files. http://imgur.com/a/I3wDv (HOWTO)

Now, press "Download", the program will wait for your phone around 2 minutes, connect it, but before, make sure that it's off (shutted down) and

connect it to USB while pressing Volume Down ( - ) key

!

Then, pray to whatever you believe, and let it flash until it says 100%.

If it's says that:

Then, you're done, enjoy your re-flashed phone! :D

If I helped you, please press "Thanks", it's free ;)

Hola, discpúlpame por responderte tan tarde, te recomiendo que intentes encontarlos en el paquete de copia de seguridad que subí aquí. Actualmente no dispongo del dispositivo para realizar una copia de seguridad de, específicamente, dichos archivos, ya que lo envié a la garantía extendida y me dieron un voucher (es una especie de cheque, en caso de que no sepas su significado) para comprar otro equipo, debido a la falta de repuestos.

device is dead ?

Fails to return the device to operate

Used in software. I tried several romes

The version of 6012 x and the version of 6012 d (My instrument is a version 6012a)

This version corresponds to x.

Right after I finish the flashing, the device does not turn on.

The device is not completely finished, the computer and the software recognize it. I'm trying to figure out what to do.

The program presents a number of selected lines. I have not changed anything and let it run.

The processor of the device is Mt6572

The device also does not enter the recovery mode.

Is he went to throw it or there are other things that equate to try?

Thanks in advance

[General Topics] facuarmo:
Hey, it's so extreme to throw to trash a device that can get back to life. I'll tell you that it's most likely you've flashed the wrong file, this post is about unbricking the Alcatel OT Idol 6030a (and maybe also the 6030d, I'm not sure). That way, you have hard bricked your device and you've also lost your display driver so that's why it doesn't turn on.

BTW, if it's still being detected you can Google for a how-to-flash guides about flashing your own model (6012x), I suggest you Googling for:

- flash Alcatel 6012x

- 6012x flash files

- 6012x scatter

- restore default SP 6012x

I hope you have luck and don't hesitate to contact me again if you still experience trouble. Cheers ;).

It keeps rebooting

I've tried a thousand times flashing this phone which apparently has been badly flashed or whatever.

Whenever I connect it, it connects either as a PreLoader Device or as MTK device. No matter which one connects, after 10 or 11 seconds, it appears to disconnect and reconnect instantly, interrupting the flashing everytime.

Any idea how could I flash at least the recovery so it doesn't restart violently before flashing? Could it be a ruined memory?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

I forgot to add that the phone's model, it's an Alcatel One Touch Idol 6030A.

I've tried already different PCs, different USB cables, different Windows versions (both 32 and 64 bits) and I can't find a way to flash anything on it.
[General Topics] facuarmo:
In that case, there might be many reasons. Please don't forget that, even while the phone automatically gets into the DL Mode, the best thing to do is to get in it manually, just to make sure nothing more is being loaded into RAM before.

This is achieved by, powering off the phone, then pressing Vol - and lastly, connecting the phone to the computer's USB port.

If that doesn't work, the remaining things are a full software damage (such as flash memory blocks corruption) or hardware damage (such as internal power supply damage by overvolting or simple normal usage, broken battery; or the simplest one, a broken power button). Please double check those things and reply again as soon as you can, I hope I can help you ;).
