[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] beefriendly:
Quick story: bought used phone on craigslist with good esn, brought it home, (DID NOT do my research about samsung account lock beforehand)...did a factory reset, previous owner does not have samsung account information to give me., and won't take back the phone. I've been messing with it for 2 days and about ready to sell it on ebay or buy a used motherboard....

After the initial factory reset it booted to setup normally, after a few failed attempts at the samsung account lock username and password, it rebooted. Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, it reboots after about 30 seconds, after just enough time to select a language in setup

I can get to download mode but it shows "reactivation lock: on" First tried clear cache partition, and a few times factory reset.

This was as a result of just a factory reset not flashing any firmware or anything.

This is phone model g920v (VZW) running 5.1.1 OG5

LMY47X.G20VVRU3OG5

I can boot to download mode and android system recovery just fine, and the phone will not reboot, but no matter how many times I have tried factory reset, reboot, wipe cache partition, etc, no change, still reboots after 30 seconds of setup.

I tried flashing G920VVRU3BOG5_G920VVZW3BOG5_G920VVRU3BOG5_HOME.tar.md5 with odin 3.10 (not successful with odin 3.09), odin 3.10 was successful, but no change, still stuck in boot loop. checked md5, tried again with same file downloaded from a different source...

Also tried messing around in sidesync, VZW software upgrade assistant, and even kies with no real luck. I am not concerned with root, but hesitant to flash anything other than the OG5 version that is on there now. Just want to get to the point where I can try some of the "samsung account bypass" tricks I have read about like here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/bypass-samsung-reactivation-lock-t3250282

Any details I left out? PLEASE ASK, I will happily clarify. I have searched the forum extensively and consulted google.

ANY INPUT VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED as to what steps I should try next. Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] TommyRox:
Have you reached out to Samsung? Better yet can't the seller just remove the reactivation lock from his account? That should be the first thing the seller should have done prior to selling it. If he doesn't know his Samsung login info HE need to call them...very irresponsible on his part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
The seller would need to figure out what his Samsung account is. otherwise it's basically a brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] beefriendly:
I appreciate the responses, however, I am not willing to give up yet. I believe if I can get past the reboot/boot loop issue, I can bypass the samsung account lock, as other people have confirmed on the g920v, in the link I posted above.

the seller told me that it was a phone he bought used, and it had the previous owner's samsung account info attached. The seller will not help me, and I do not have the email address or any way to contact the owner before him. Being craigslist, I do not have any leverage for a return to the seller, etc.

I have not tried contacting samsung.

I am planning to try to flash OG9 version next using odin. Then I will try to flash the newest version, OK7

After that I will try to update with kies. If that doesn't work I will try to take it to best buy samsung experience center and see if they can flash anything...

Are there any bootloaders/ custom recovery that I should consider looking into, anything that I may have missed? for 5.1.1? twrp?

Again, thanks for your help, any advice or links to relevant posts or info would be VERY greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
From my understanding (while limited) no amount of flashing will remove the Reactivation lock. It's designed to be just that, a lock, that prevents someone who stole the phone from using it.

KIES does not work on the S6, you have to use SmartSwitch instead.

Samsung can't do anything for you.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
I work for an HTC Division and we already have Photon Emulator....

so please dont comment if you are not improving our knowledge

Nice Joke i hope you aren't a comic

if so tell me where i can send you some dollars in case you dont have anything to eat
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
The Uni Seems to be one of the best HW Specs from all Pocket PC/Phone Devices, so maybe wont run smoothly but i think will work

Soon i will have some files to play with if you are interested you're welcome

:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dj_gabzz:
it would be great to seee our uni available for further versions other than wm6..

i hope photon wont require more ram or different requirements that we dont have
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] AlanJC:
So why are you asking us?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rnzk8:
not actually the best hardware specs in my opinion

memory would be the main culprit if the new WM's would require more memory to make room for the newer technology that they would integrate...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
Like to know if somebody else visiting this forums works for HTC or Flextronics-Solectron like me

(just like me :D :D )

after all, maybe you work for

and i do not
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
I work as an I.T. Engineer not TBD but anyways some of my colleagues share somethimes files, roms and other "toys" because im gadgetacolic

i dont like to be arguing with anybody just wanted to know if somebody else have access to that kind of files too all related to CE 6

Just to try to assembly something from actual roms

that's all

no bad vibe please

and i will not publish my corporate email address just to show i actually work there but you can checkout at news the merger of Solectron & Flextronics both companies work along inclusive with HTC and also you can check my location and you can see there is a SLR-Flex Global Services In Chihuahua Mexico

as i told im not trying to screw on anybody just looking some other people that likes to innovate and test

Regards!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
i will say Yes

i will run at emulator and try to get some screenshots

it has some sort of new graphics and some heritage from Avalon (for Graphics and F.S. and from Aero, yes more vista alike) some flip 3d's not very functional but seems pretty cool, kind of remind the touch interface but with full taskmanager and someother fancy things if you are interested let me know so when i have some files i will share with you to test
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Merlin_reloaded:
HOLY SH*/!

You do that, and I will build a shrine in your name and.....well,you get the picture:D

Seriously,please do.

Screenshots first are nice, but I'm up for anything
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
so still not believe?

hello

for all those never believed me regarding the WM7 and new CE platforms, all can see the public screenshots, by the way all already shownup in WinCE platforms showcase 2 months ago, im still trying to make work some base assemblies and arm a rom for universal (already tried for wizard with no sucess i think processor and some drivers are the main issue) so once again if there are volunteers welcome
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sofene:
Like in the mpx200. OS loads mostly on SD card to run wm5 and wm6.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nicromant:
yes indeed but the main issue is the speed of the SD Card now

SDHC and fast SDIO driver compilation is now my concern, but im on my way to make it work
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassdave:
So I have a Samsung SD card and was immediately prompted to advise it was corrupt when I first flashed a CM/AOSP ROM. When I got the time to do so I backed up the contents, formatted from the prompt and copied stuff back over.

The problem now... The SD card cannot be written to by Titanium Backup. Edit the permissions platform.xml file you say? Nope didn't work. Nothing suggested worked.

I finally got it working by formatting everything, installing a Sense ROM and then formatting again once it said it prompted to. I can write to "SD Card 2".

However, I'm weary going back to AOSP/CW that I'll be back to square one again.

Has anyone encountered the same issues and what did you do?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelangosta:
Sort of. Every time I flash an aosp ROM it tells me the card is corrupt even if I'm just trying to use u it as portable/external. I backed everything up to my Mac book and formatted the card in the phone on CM13 but, when trying to transfer stuff back I lost my nandroids and a couple RUU.zip files. It still tells me the card is corrupted even though I did format it. I don't remember if I had write issues after that. At this point I have just about given up on aosp since I'm not going to copy and then format the card every time.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulsethi:
Same issue.

Does anyone have a solution for this ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The SD shows up as corrupt, or Titanium can't write to it?

What did you try to do, and what were the results?

Posting "same issue" without giving any details is never a good way to post. More detail is always better.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulsethi:
No , I just get a notification that sd card is corrupt. There is option of setting it up too but in there when I select "use as portable storage , it asks me to format it ".

In any of the apps , sdcard doesn't show up or even option show sdcard.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't use AOSP ROMs on the M8, but I do on my Samsung Tab Pro 8.4. On that device, I get this error message (SD card corrupt) every time I flash an AOSP ROM. One thing that you can try which often works for me (but not always) is to put the card into a USB card reader, connect to PC. It should automatically detect the card, and give you a popup window asking you to scan and fix the problems. It has 2 choices with check boxes (forget what they say exactly) of which the first is checked by default, the 2nd is not (and takes a lot more time). Try the first choice, which should just take a couple minutes; and should also preserve the data on the card. Then re-insert the card into your M8 and see if it reads properly. If not, you may at that point want to copy the data on the SD to your PC while you can. You may need to resort to formatting the card, than copying the data back to it (I've had to do this at times).

I haven't seen any other solutions, or explanation of what is causing this.

hi, i ve been using cm 11 nightly for about 5 months or so, was running smoothly till last night. while i was surfing on the internet on my phone, phone shut down and found it in an infinite loop, get the cm logo and samsung then, closes. what the heck just happened? i intstalled cm via installer only took 15 20 mins. so i m not familiar with the twrp and other stuff. Please help me :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpjm15:
I think you should install a new rom via TWRP. Just google the process. Don't worry. Take the risk.

As long as you follow the instructions, Everything's gonna be fine.

sorry bad english :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mel_un:
well, my laptop didnt recognize the phone, but tried hard could get it done, and install stock rom with odin but, now its stuck on the samsung logo now, an infinite loop. dont know what i can do anymore
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpjm15:
I haven't encounter that problem before. Did you try using Custom Recovery? Becauase you install ROMs via ODIN.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtifetfak:
1) make sure that you have the latest usb drivers and the latest odin version

2) run odin as administrator and locate your stock rom

3) power off the phone

4) press and hold power home and volume down buttons simultaneously

5) connect your usb cable to your device

6) press volume up to continue

(at this point you should see that odin added your device, if so => start)

7) wait until flashing is done

8) unplug the phone when it says so (you'll see pass or done message)

9) wait up to 15 minutes just to be sure that its actually stuck on boot (i once waited 20 min to start :S)

10) if the phone dont start after 15 min then press and hold power home and volume up button simultaneously

11) in recovery mode wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition

if this doesnt help im sure that someone from the forum will come up with the solution you just have to be patient

cheers mate
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mel_un:
thanks buddy, i ll try and see how it ends

waiting for 30 mins didnt help but i wiped cache and data, now i have the phone running gonna install another cm now, thanks a lot

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssinghebay:
HI,

I am trying to install CM13 on my Moto G XT 1033.

When I do advanced wipe from TWRP 2.8.7.0 ( Data, system, dalvik cache and cache), the phone just reboots as soon as the wipe is finished and after the reboot, the phone is just normal - as in I can see nothing is changed in my previous ROM with all the previosuly installed apps working as it is.

Is this normal behavior ? In various youtube videos, I see after doing advanced wipe - you are taken to the TWRP home page , the phone doesnt reboot.

Please Advice.

F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference between these builds and the official builds?

These are

unofficial

builds of CyanogenMod 13.0 for the Xperia Z3 (D6603)

ROM is built using the same source code (github) like the official one but with these following additions:

Compiled using sabermod arm-eabi 4.9.4 (kernel code) & sabermod arm-linux-androideabi 4.9.4 (rom code) toolchain compilers

May contain some custom cherry-picks. Always see changelog for details.

Cross-compiled using those custom toolchains results in a more smoother, faster, and battery friendly ROM

What is Toolchain?

Source: http://elinux.org

What is SaberMod?

The term "SaberMod" is coming from:

[Xperia Z3 Android Development] CedArctic:
Thank you for the build man, highly appreciated flashing atm :D
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
no camera at all.

camera will be working according to a number of variables:

- being fixed on AOSP first

- release of compatible 6.0 blobs

- switch to kernel 3.10.x

- free time from the maintainers

until then, we need to patiently wait.

saying "STOCK KERNEL" then do not miss the bootloader is unlocked, because it uses the original kernel of sony.

Bootable on d6633?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
Hey I just got my z3 and have been having a hell of a time finding a recovery with it. I HAVE a twrp boot img but it has to be flashed with adb using a fastboot flash boot "img name". Your directions are different, will that work? and will the recovery stay? because i've also noticed that since the recovery is located in the boot (or.. similar. i'm still not very good with this stuff) it gets flashed over when i flash a new rom.. so after i spent 5 hours trying to find the right recovery and flash cm 12.1 i go to update and find i have the (absolutely useless imo) simple CM recovery..

this made me think of finding a custom unofficial rom that maybe had twrp built into the boot img instead. which is how i stumbled upon your rom! I do want to try it.. I probably will this weekend when i have some time but i was just curious if this will be a permanent recovery solution or if i'll still have to reflash the recovery every time i want to boot into TWRP.

Thank you so much for this rom, this kernel, and your help!!
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] deepongi:
do those exact steps, and twrp recovery will "stick", using CM12.1/CM13.0

Just tried the 19th 3.10 build, still very buggy.

Bluetooth keeps force closing once you try to open it, and then keeps doing that until you factory reset.

Doesn't recognise sim card now, used too on previous build.

Still twitching present on screen.

Not complaining, just letting people know what's going on so far.

Still very much an alpha build.

Did grab a catlog, god knows if it will help anyone.

Thanks very much to infected for posting the builds for everyone to try them out.
