Going with Option #1

1. I will do option #1 immediately, I backed up the logs and was contemplating that already.

2. Option #2 is a great idea, I've tried it... I have gotten the same result 95% of the time. Even tried my neighbors Apple Inc. cord!

I will be downloading a new copy too, never know!
[Off-topic] Going2Hell:
There may be hope yet...

As with orangekid, I did not know the DNS either... Could be that I'm just 'too set up for google' I hope.

I also believe my lack of knowledge may contribute, I did not unlock the device due to a lost password/Touch-ID issue. I have been reading lately that; if TID is not verified, it would act as a type of e-fuse for the personal data.

I did note however, this only protects personal data; not the restore function itself.

iTunes Screen output... in progress

DFU Mode at driver level...

SORRY FOR THE IMAGE SIZE, IT'S BEEN AGGRAVATING DEALING WITH PHOTOBUCKET...
[Off-topic] Going2Hell:
Nope, I wish...

I wish it was that easy... I have not disassembled due to the fact that the screen is the first part to remove in dis-assembly... DNS is next, but first; I need to restart to try the iTunes install.
[Off-topic] orangekid:
Alright.

Try reinstallation, then DNS, then let's see what's next.
[Off-topic] Going2Hell:
Is it just me or is it like DFU is a great acronym for Don't, Funk, Up? Hell, no screen and no current device status... Might as well bust out the chalk and eraser here.

What to say now? I'm slapping together a video for the procedure accuracy. I think it's right... We'll see. Save
[Off-topic] orangekid:
If you get stuck in DFU you can hold the power button until the device comes back up to recovery.
[Off-topic] Going2Hell:
Still trying... NOT DEAD YET.

Well, I haven't progressed much...

I'm still processing all the raw .ipsw in .zip format!

Alot of cool stuff to learn here! Like it says; I'm a 'Wanderer of Code!' and I'm not one to shy away!

It's locked by the iCloud Verification Process... I need to verify it's connection to this account but; it's not booting to let me do this. I have the info, ECID, S/N, freshly DL'd 9.1 FIRMWARE/ROM for A1567 iPad Air 2, up-to-date iTunes and Windows 10! Don't know what I'm missing besides a backup, didn't get a chance... and an operating OS to verify the activation!

NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A GENIUS! (TLDR...)

"Does anyone know what is a good utility to interface Serial over USB with RS232 protocols?"

- I'm versed in Linux/Unix and Windows/DOS so; the OS is no matter unless you're going to say MacOS! Nothing will ever make me go back to MAC!

ONE MORE WONDER?

"Does anyone know a better way to PWN this POS? Am I overlooking the simple fact that; my shoes are untied? Sure seems like I've got my H.U.M.A. about something here!"
[Off-topic] orangekid:
that's one reason I personally hate OSX and thing I do not like about iOS.

Why are you doing anything with a zip instead of IPSW? And did you try the DNS thing?
[Off-topic] Going2Hell:
Ahhh; DNS... (DID NOT SUCCEED)

ZIP vs IPSW...

- As far as I can gather, ".ipsw" is just the extension for the Apple Firmware payload? As I understand it, ".zip" extensions are valid for unpackaging ".ipsw" packages. Also, from iTunes; the file is DL'd as an ".ipsw" which fails anyway... from "ipsw.me" the format is ".zip" but is subsequently switched to ".ipsw" in the instructions of 'majority'!

OUTCOME

- All failures, no matter the DL'd ".ipsw" or ".zip" nor will DL init type or DL source affect the ERROR 53 outcome!

- DNS was the same outcome as all others before...

"FRESH" WIN10 INSTALL... (RESTORED WINDOWS 10 HOME PREMIUM 'NON-DEV-TEST' & 'WIPE ALL FILES/SETTINGS')

- NOT SURE YET, just got done installing iTunes again and updating/restarting PC that CRapple Inc, requires to mesh with the Win10 framework! I have not installed LG Mobile Device drivers, I saw a FYI on the relationship between LG's "send_command" and iTunes protocol among others!

... restarting now ...
[Off-topic] orangekid:
Ok more things you can try:

1 - use a different USB lightning cable (sounds weird but I have seen this work)

2 - disable all anti-virus type stuff on your computer

If still none of these things work, you're gonna have to warranty thru Apple I think.

Problem Solved...

...---| THE OWNER CAME AND GOT IT! (still in BOOTLOOP) Hopefully his iTunes/ID/PC and viola! Weeks Wasted! |---...

-| This is the only record of what has been done besides my memory, dictated to his memory; through an intermediary!

-| I'm still filling the rest in with information. Parts previously thought published (forgot to save many times) and procedures which were barely detailed: at most!

...--- TO FOLLOW UP ---...

-| Anti-virus, weeks ago; although the new install still has the Threat Detection, Firewall and Defender, which are all I use (more than adequate, if you know what to do and where to get your files!)

-| I even tried them all in different combinations, hoping for a different outcome! ERROR 53 - GFDi...

...--- THE PLUG ---...

Always the problem if:

-| #1. ABSOLUTELY and Absolutely, NOTHING ELSE could be the issue... not here at least!

-| #2. - You still have an HTC G1, but; did not know they have a 'special' plugin. DON'T BE FOOLED, just because the 'old' battery chargers fit. The bad connections will trash a brand-new battery in Thirty-days! Thank 'God' for Twins!

-| #3. You still haven't tried swapping one, for the other... of course!

-| #4. You get Errors that rarely are the same... in-consistent errors!

...---| Since this post is going to remain largely, 'IN-COMPLETE' |---...

-| I will post all of the information I found interesting... It's ALOT so it might take a bit!

THINGS THAT JUST-PLAIN DIDN'T WORK... (SPAMWARE/MALWARE)

-| 1. WONDERSHARE Dr. Fone -- It actually seemed like functional SW and I think it does work! HOWEVER; the Trial will NOT work! You must register the app with the creator for the 'trial' but; to REGISTER? Sure enough, you must buy the app! Ha, 'Catch33'

-| 2. SOUNDSHARE -- DO NOT EVEN BOTHER... NO MATTER WHICH iOS VERSION OR DEVICE TYPE!

-| These 'utilities' were so far off the mark! Their interfaces are convoluted and worthless!. WONDERSHARE seems to be the closest to working, at least it reads an Apple! SOUNDSHARE was the same GUI Frontend with less clutter but the same structure. Soundshare, seems it was never meant to be an app at all; reminded me of a Happy meal toy!

[Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maslacak:
Hello, I own the RN2 for months now and it worked fine. Until recently my Volume buttons got a mind of their own. out of no reason my phone would raise or lower the volume like a button was pressed. My power button refused working along too a few times. I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or a software one. It's quite annoying tbh. the problem was there no matter of the case (original white + silicone protector, without protector, aftermarket black + protector, without protector, without any case.... )

Has anyone experience with this problem? Should I order new buttons and change them or?

THIS IS NOW RESOLVED. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE TO POST ON MY THREAD. YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES WILL NOT BE THE SAME AS MINE NORE ARE THEY LIKLEY TO RESOLVE ISSUES YOU HAVE, AS MINE WAS CAUSED BY A VERY SPECIFIC PROBLEM. START YOUR OWN THREADS DONT HIJACK MINE

Good morning XDA Devolopers,

I have used this site for many a year now but today had to sign up to get some help.

I purchased my SM-920F from Ebay, and low and behold, it had been blocked here in the UK, ever the optimist i looked about online and indeed there are several options online, including some services for remote unlocking, i decided it was worth a shot and ordered it, only from there on it goes from bad to worse.

After the unlock i was constantly greeted with Security Errors and Warning, i contacted the company who unlocked it, and was told to re-flash the rom with the same baseband version, after alot of hunting i found a rom from SAM Mobile and away i went, flashed and all seemed to go well i waited and waited, phone stuck on the boot screen. Galaxy S6, powered by Android...

I returned to the unlocking company asking for advice, only to be called a liar and they would never suggest i reflash the rom or firmware.

So now im stuck with a brick, ive tryed all i can think off and all i can research and i just cant make any progress. I did note after the unlock SuperSU had been installed on my phone (i wasnt made aware the unlock required them to root my phone, they tripped knox in the process).

I have a SM-920F origonally on O2 UK, i have tryed flashing there rom with no joy.

Im desperate to have this phone orking, even if its just for calls, my wife is currently at the hospital with our son whos fighting for his life against cancer, and all i get is abuse from here, i dont get paid till the 1st of the month so a new phone is out of the question at present. The unlocking company i used are tools, and to think iw as mighty impressed at the time.

I do have SOME cash, if theres a pro out there who wants to make a few bucks and can remote connect to me to help me solve this it would be much appreciated, i am just now stuck and desperate and badly need the help of the community.

Galaxy S6 920F

64GB Blue

Android 5.1.1

(Rooted by network unlockers)

WIndows 7 Ultimate - Odin (I have just about all of them these days)

Avalable Roms on my Machine (ALL O2 Roms and some other international variants for france and germany)

If anyone out there can help me please, if i could get on my knees and beg i would, im so desperate now to be able to just recieve calls from my wife and the hospital at this **** time for us.

Please please please someone somewhere must be able to help me out

Thanks

Thanks for ya info.

Having installed TWRP i noticed something very intresting, TWRP reports no operating system is installed.

Ive taken a leap of faith and using ODIN am now flashing the Stock 5.1.1 ROM.

Will report back in a few mins.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shir199m:
Okay so TWRP is installed, it reported no operating system.

Yeah now were where i didnt want to be.

Okay ill try that, is there a particular rom you would recommend?

Ill take anything so long as i can make calls, my wifes just walked in the door and gone of like a fricking nuclear warhead

Oh dear god you should hear this haha.

Ill look on google for roms, but if you have any suggestion on a rom ill defer to you

I am not a god believing man, but i am very very very greatfull to the chap who has helped me with this.

I will update the OP Later, with full instructions of how ive done it... (Like once ive confirmed it all works)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
There is a ROM called AllianceROM, I've read that it's on of the best for the G920F.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shir199m:
Okay so as promised.

1. Flash Stock 5.1.1 ROM (Phone will not boot after)

2. Flash TWRP with ODIN

3: Reboot into TWRP and mount filesystem via MPT (i had to disable then enable it for my computer to detect it)

4: Copy ROM to phone (As a ZIP)

5: Using TWRP install ZIP

6: Follow Instructions

7: Dalvik / Cache Clear (it asks after the rom is installed)

8: Reboot

9: Wait

10: Wait Some More

11: TADA

Phone has booted and connected to the network, the AllianceROM suggested above will work in very much the same way! same process.

Thats all i did. After a week of gueswork i want to thank the chap who provide me some guidance both here and via PM

Phone is now running and working, i wish i could have stock rom but you cant have it all.

On a side note if you choose to use IMEI Gurus to unlock your phone, i highly suggest you dont, there after sales support are shocking, and they refunded my money even though its not what i wanted, had the provided the help i found here id not have been so stressy with them. There service does work, but they will root your device (which they dont mention in there sales pitch they will trip knox (again not mentioned) and once done you cant actually factory reset the phone with any method. ANd youll be here reading this.

Yes there services work, but guys please make your own informed decisions about there service, would i buy again from them? i doubt it, but needs must and all that.

THanks everyone

Basically i'm creating this thread because im looking for advice here, i have a moto g (cannot remember the number atm will update with this when im with the device again), its the first variant of the moto g that was 4g capable though. it died yesterday and when i tried to charge it the notification light flashes for a few seconds, followed by the screen turning on for few seconds. after this the screen switches on and repeats. The device did not charge when left for a few hours like this and refuses to even light up anything while it isnt connected to a charger. putting it in to recovery mode hasn't allowed me to do much either but for the most part the statuses it gives state that the battery is functioning so the battery should be ok?

[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Krystyna:
Xiaomi have officially stated that they will stop all development work on MIUI based on Android 4.4 next week and will switch over to building MIUI based on Android 6. The first phone that will receive the update are the Xiaomi Mi3, Xiaomi Mi4 and Xiaomi Mi Note flagship devices. Why are there no Xiaomi Mi 4C?
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] rob rich:
Maybe because they have to Start with some devices and i think its very fair, that they have chosen devices which havent received Android 5.0 till now. And i dont understand why everybody with a different device starts to cry now. Xiaomi said that these are the first devices, what means that there are others to follow them.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] chickentuna:
Yeah come to think of it, the phones that will get Marshmallow first are those who are currently stuck with kitkat. Maybe Xiaomi decided to focus the development for those devices as they didn't receive any major android update since they were released.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] Krystyna:
Hope Xiaomi released Android 6.0 firmware as soon as possible.

I think before such sites get a marshmallow Rom for our device, it will be posted here or in miui forum before. And there isnt something
