I have an xt1080 that was unlocked with sunshine. It apparently will not charge when plugged in or via wireless, and the icon is 0, but charging is indicated. It will not turn on unless powered by a programmer cable hooked up to a computer. It will only start in BP Tools mode, after one or two failed starts. I can get it into fastboot mode, and flash a clean factory ROM, as well as a TWRP recovery. IS this poor thing hosed?

If bootloader is locked, turned off the USB debugging, and device is bricked, it's stopped at logo. What can I do ?!

Hi there, you should download smart switch and use emergency firmware recovery, From there you should click 'more' then click emergency software recovery. Key in your device SM-G920F (Or whatever your version is) then input your serial number (Found on your device Box/back panel of your phone) then voila, it should download the latest firmware for you.

hello everyone!

i have been reading feverishly on all of this, and think i have some solid ideas.

Wanted to come right out and ask.

Anyone have a recommendation for me as far as which WM6 Rom to upgrade to?

My 8125 is unlocked for use with the old AT&T Blue (yes, i know, im holding on for dear life out of contract!)

Which would work best for me? (rom, radio, etc, for WM6. and do i have to unlock the CID again? same old method? or new for WM6?)

I am sick of WM5 and the issues i am having :) a fresh start would do it, but why not upgrade!?

appreciate any links as well.

Thanks for your advice in advance!

My findings

Hi,

It's always best to first read the tread on how to flash. Realy.

2nd flash to the latest rom from your provider .

Radio 2.19 seems to be the best in general. Others have issues in some situations. However you can flash those without hard reset. So you can try several without losing settings and stuff.

On OS my findings for wm6 are Faria's latest (no touch) or reTOUChed final. But i didn't try NBD 7.9 yet.

All respect to other cooks! these just met my needs best. It's personal.

Hey, take a look at my sig.

I've been reading through these forums for months too.

Here's my 2 cents:

You need to decide what kind of ROM you want... Touch or Crossbow

I use to love Crossbow but I found Touch and I'm in love with it...once you go with Touch you won't want to go to Crossbow anymore.

If you want Touch.. I would say NBD v7.8..it's awesome.

If you want Crossbow.. NTS v1 (jaguar) is awesome too... there is NTS v2.. but I haven't tried it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] danrw84:
sweet. you have the same setup i do

i am not familiar with touch or crossbow. what is the diff?

can you link me to the files i need, and/or the procedure you used to update?

thanks so much
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] taeksoo:
Sorry, my friend... then you have lot of reading to do.

Espeically if you don't even know how to flash...

This is for your own good.. if you don't know what you're doing.. you might brick your phone.... meaning dead phone.

So, I advise you to start here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298613

This should tell you how to flash...

Then you can start picking out what you want to flash to.

Touch: NBD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311534

Crossbow: NTS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=314660

If you don't know the difference then try flashing them both and pick which one you like... I did... I must have flashed like dozens of time to figure out which one I liked. Also, people have different needs and preference so my taste in ROMs might not fit your needs too.

Just because you flash a new ROM doesn't mean everything's going to work... we'd want them to but sometime it's now.. so, without knowing what you did you won't probably enjoy the new ROM.

Try to enjoy this learning process.. otherwise, I'd say don't even bother because you're gonna have hell of a time trying to get everything just right.

I'm not trying to be mean.... just trying to help.

I'll try to help anyone if I can.. just like everyone else in this forum.

PS. I go here to see the list of threads for WM6 Wizard (8125).. I try to keep up with it but can't..so, I just focus on what I like.

I do know how to flash!

i flashed it before, but i am not up to speed with the new stuff.

to make my phone ideal, stable, and the best it can be,

which version recommendations do you suggest for, rom, radio, etc.

how should i set the phone up? which rom should i download and is there a particular place you can link me to download?

if i just know WHAT i want to, which versions, etc, i can read up, search and do all that myself. i just dont know what would be ideal for me right now

i am having a problem with the 8125 where i will be talking and it will just shut off and start rebooting, and keep rebooting. die, reboot. with full battery.

then when i plug it in to the stock charger, it will come on, but the battery reads in at like 6-15%,

is this the battery?

it started acting up when i spilled a little water on it last week!

For Radio.. the UK T-Mobile 2.19 is most stable from what I hear and experienced.

I've only tried 2.69 with ipl/spl 3.08.. but didn't work out.. I started missing calls.

There are group of people who's trying to figure out which Radio is the best in this forum... so, look in there time to time.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=312834&page=22

When flashing I always try to flash to T-Mobile 2.26 first.. then flash UK T-mobile 2.19.. then whatever ROM I want.. this way I start fresh all the time.

About your battery... well, I'm no expert but it might be with your battery... don't know.. I bet that water did do some damage.. if it's still under warrenty I would try getting a replacement for the phone first... then, if it still doesn't work then try getting new battery. Other then that, I don't know much about battery... good luck!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob7greeklover:
Messed up with my G925F!!!

Hello , my phone suddenly was not able to make or receive any calls or joining 3G/4G network or SMS. In other words, I was out of service although my SIM had not problems to enter the PIN password and I could see signal bars.

After a little research I discovered that my IMEI and S/N number had been changed! Especially, the IMEI number became 350000000000006 (fake one) And I believe this is the reason my signal went off!

So , I just managed to download smart switch from samsung and choose "emergency software recovery and initialization -> device initialization" in an attempt to revert it to stock rom and settings (is this method unroot the phone too?)

But after this long downloading finished , the phone didn't boot , I only see the samsung galagy s6 edge logo stuck!!!!

So , I decided to root the phone again , following the guide here (link-->), zidroid.com/how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-s6-edge-on-android-5-1-1/

(in short words , I installed the twrp recovery with odin and I flashed 2 zip files required, from an usb-otg-flash drive, via the twrp recovery install button) and then the phone booted normaly , but the problem with the signal and wrong IMEI was still there!

I feel that I am on dead end , I don't know what to do , I am thinking about sending it to the location I bought it but I am afraid that the warranty is lost.

Please help me restore my phone back to normal :(

You have go to professional repair which they can repair your device you probably not going to restore your original IMEI back you can solved your problem
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob7greeklover:
So you mean that there isn't any way of backing up the IMEI number first before rooting or changing a rom/kernel/recovery to the phone in order not allowing this IMEI bricking happen again by means of restoring from its backup?

I googled a lot and some people suggest that they can backup EFS in some way. What is EFS exactly and how it is related to IMEI?

Also wouldn't be a good idea to find a way to backup my entire OS/firmware (not just IMEI/EFS) before doing anything , in case to save money and avoid the same bricking?

And yes , I have sent the phone to samsung service , it will cost me around 320 euros , because they discovered I changed kernel/rooted the device , and they will change motherboard.

I cannot help the phone without being rooted , I love rooting but I cannot understand why suddenly IMEI got bricked.....does it worth to take risk and root my phone again? But I want IMEI or entire OS backups first before doing that and I don't know how to achieve this without rooting first...

Please help me if you could.

I did contact one of those fellows a reputable one that can change your IEMI. Well once he heard that crazy IEMI number, he said because it was changed once before to something like he doubted he could change it again and save my phone. To try he charges 100 US plus I have shipping there and back. Yikes.

So any advice you can give me I would truly appreciate.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ripshod:
Mine went down recently with the exact same IMEI and no SN. TWRP was failing to restore the efs partition damaging the files in the process. Long story short, I had to manually extract the efs files, copy them across and fiddle about with permissions but I'm working again.

That nugget rings true - always backup the efs before changing anything.

But for that reputable fellow to say that the IMEI had been changed before because of what it had become, and insinuating that the imei couldn't be changed more than once was complete twaddle. I wouldn't trust him near any of my phones.

On a lighter note I'm sure there's got to be a member on here would sort it for beer tokens ;)

Happened to me, I thought it was faulty ROM and all but then I realized it was simply apn setting. Resetting it to default did the trick. It can be found in Settings > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob7greeklover:
Since this thread is quite old and people keep answering , I want to end it like this:

Back then I didn't avoid to pay about 300 euros to replace its motherboard to a samsung shop. But I learned lately that the issue was due to an app called "USB OTG Helper" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.shajul.usbotg&hl=en) which allows you to insert NTFS USB flash drives to your OTG phone but also enables a system partition , including EMS files to be visible.

And you can guess what happened next , I deleted this system partition which this app made it visible and yes , my IMEI was gone!!! After some months , I repeated the same delete thing , but previously I had backed up via TWRP the EFS and MODEM partitions. My phone lost IMEI again , as expected , but after restoring EFS and MODEM , the IMEI was back!!

To sum up , never delete files or partitions that look like "system" like bluetooth and imei folders when you are root AND always have a backup of all your rom via twrp or something else before changing/deleting/flashing anything related to your system.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.

As a Sprint device, your S4 is obviously CDMA-capable but you'd have to check with Straight Talk whether their SIMs use CDMA or GSM (3G?).

I received this case today and have to say that it is better than I thought it would be. Firstly the packaging is very professional and inviting as shown in my photos. On opening the box I am greeted by the case and a built-in screen protector with a nice white microfiber cloth a lanyard and a headphone extension lead.

The case is a single layer type the outer layer is a hard durable plastic which feels nice in hand without being slippery but is smooth. The inside of the case is the same material as the outside which again feels nice to the touch. The built in screen protector is very clear and responsive with no rainbow effect and no touch sensitive problems. The cameras are all sealed and work fine and the home button and capacitive buttons are also sealed and work perfectly, even the fingerprint sensor works. The speakers are sealed but the sound for the main speaker at the bottom of the phone is sealed off and the sound is redirected to the back of the phone. The sound is ok but not the greatest however phone calls were crystal clear.

The case has 6 clips around it to seal the phone from the elements which are easy to open and close and there is a rubber washer around the inside edge of the case that seals the phone from water.

The buttons are stiffer to use with the case on but nothing major and some clear instructions are included in the box. The phone is comfortable to hold with the case on and it is not slippery.

I would recommend this case overall very good value for money.
