Hey,

After use note 5 rom, I tried to return to stock rom 5.1.1.

But when I tried to flash the rom by odin, I have the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"

So, now, I have an access to the download mode, not recovery. But when I tried to reflash official rom, Odin failed after freeze on "setup initialisation".

Can you help me please?

Thanks

My watch is stuck on the Sony logo. I can't even power it down. If I hold the power button down for 10 seconds it will vibrate once and the scree goes off but the sony logo comes back on almost immediately whether I continue to hold the power button or release it.

Obvioiusly I cant access flashmode or fastboot mode so it would seem I am stuck. Anyone else encountered this and maybe found a solution?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] BladeRunner:
Managed to get it fixed. Used a different computer & internet connection which seemed to allow the update to download. Watch was still borked as I could only occasionally to boot to flashmode and I think the battery was very low. It would update a little then error out because the battery would die. I'd then have to recharge it a little and restart the update. It took 3 or 4 of these update/die/recharge cycles but eventually it went through and its up and working again.

Hello All,

Mainly I want to get rid of Hands Free Activation ("HFA") which is a huge nuisance. I'd prefer NOT to trip KNOX, but if I have to then I will just go have to because HFA is worse I think. If there is a way to disable HFA without rooting at all, that would be the best choice for me!

I bought this phone second hand for use with GSM outside of the USA.

My specs are as follows:

Model: SM-G920P

Android 6.0.1

Samsung Galaxy S6

build: MMB29K.G920PVPU3CPB6

I'm a technical guy but not really a phone expert, so if anyone can tell me on a high level how to remove HFA or root my phone I'd appreciate it. I think once rooted I can disable the HFA app, but as things are now I cannot disable it. Sometimes I can kill the app, but it comes back anyway.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
Additional Information

I wanted to mention here guys that I'm not looking for free tech support here. I watched several youtube videos and online tutorials and most of what I am reading says that PingPong won't work because of my version of Android being too recent, and any other method will trip KNOX.

This video seemed the most promising, the one that can be found by searching "How to Root Galaxy S6/S6 Edge! by Anuj Patel" on YouTube (sorry I can't post URLs yet) and it went on to refer to an online guide (Google: "How to Root Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge! [TWRP Recovery + Root] androidrootz") but some of the files my browser won't let me download because it says downloadandroidfiles-DOT-org is an attack site and the idea of a rootkit or malware on my phone is very frightening. In the same YouTube page a poster asks if it trips KNOX and the same author Anuj says it does but if you do not want to, to try this method (Google: "How to Root Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge without Tripping Knox! [PingPong Root] anroidrootz"). But again, it seems dependent on an older version of android and/or downloading files from the "attack site" mentioned above.

I just wanted to make it clear that I have done many hours of research.

Thanks,

Bescalan
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
I appreciate the prompt reply! Considering your first comment, can anyone please let me know if they have had experience disabling the HFA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
Just remove HFA, you dont need to be rooted.

Search for package disabler app, and disable freeze the service "system update" (sprintdm.apk) and done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
Okay, great, so HFA seems gone. Thanks!

Unfortunately, now my problem is an "Invalid SIM" notice that comes up after a while and disables my 3G Internet. A message that the SIM was locked comes up (I have to click OK), and then a persistent SIM icon is in the top notification area that states: "Invalid SIM".

I went to my local CDMA telecom provider and they said that because I installed Marshmallow I have made it very hard for the phone to work. Unfortunately, it was the previous owner that upgraded it. :( I am not sure a downgrade is possible. They put in a Sprint chip and left it in, but I do not even want to use a SIM (because I'm using CDMA) and the Sprint Chip does not seem to help much if at all. There is no Sprint in my country anyway, so I'm not sure if my phone company thought it would help with the Invalid SIM message. The only way for me to get 3G back is to power cycle my phone and use it before the invalid SIM message comes up again after a few minutes.

My research has suggested that this is because the phone is locked, but I am wondering if there is a way around this. Perhaps I can disable another .apk file to stop this from happening since it does not happen from the very start, much like the HFA.

My specs are:

IMEI(MEID) AND SN 990005771730596 01 MEID 99000577173059 My Phone is a Galaxy S6 running 6.0.1 Android and for Spring. It keeps saying INVALID SIM. I tried to pay for Unlock Service from safeunlockcode.com but they said:" Thank you for your email. We are sorry but we are not able to unlock your device because we don't support for unlocking IMEIs starting with 99000."

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
What do you mean by that? Do you mean that the free advice of not needing root is worth its cost?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
Oh! I rooted anyway so I didnt try that app. Doubt it would have worked without root tho I did try some other package killers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] annabin85:
Hi I have the same issue on my S6 G920P... It keeps asking me to put the original SIM to carry on the activation.

I am just tired of this S6, any options even if I have to pay, I will.

Ohhh forgot to mention that I have this problem since I updated the firm to marshmallow :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
I think this is on to something in that you are saying if I don't need GSM then why not just disable GSM entirely and hopefully avoid the Invalid SIM message. Unfortunately, it still does not work. Is there a service/app I can disable that does the verification?

If I take out the SIM, 3G never comes up and from the start I have a persistent top notification message: "No SIM, Insert SIM Card."

I can still make calls, but no 3G internet :(

Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
if you rooted your S6 already, just install the titanium backup app and freeze the service "system update".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
Thank you for the reply.

But there is no System Update? There are two "Software Updates" I get when filtering by "Update":

1) Software Update 1.1.57

2) Software Update 3.1.12

Are these the ones you are suggesting I freeze? Because I can't find a "system update"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
I have no idea why you dont have it.

Please have a look at my ss.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
Oh, if it's SprintDM it's because I also renamed that .apk file in hopes it would stop the SIM problem from re-occurring. If it is still happening, then I doubt rename the .apk from .bak back into .apk and then freezing it would help--what do you think?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
So I've come a long way. I rooted my phone, I apparently unlocked it, re-flashed it, did a hard reset. Now I have signal (can make calls), and my 3G hardly works.

Basically, 3G does not come up at all if I have HFA disabled. HFA when enabled goes through three steps:

1. It says "Welcome! Configuring your device for voice and data." (during this time 3G works, but it is only a few seconds)

2. It says "Waiting to retry" and counts down for like a minute before going back to step 2 (during this time, 3G does NOT WORK)

3. After a bunch of failed retries, it says: "Activation not completed". (and 3G stops altogether until I restart the phone.)

So, how can I disable HFA if when I disable it 3G never comes up to begin with?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Are you SIM unlocked? You need to be SIM unlocked, both domestic and international. Have you done the "UICC Unlock" option under System Update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bescalan:
I am SIM unlocked, but I want to use a CDMA not. GSM network. UICC unlock, if I have HFA enabled takes me back to HFA. If I have disabled HFA, UICC unlock appears to so nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tatico28:
As per [MENTION=4431695]yaibakt[/MENTION] posted, I can confirm that freezing the System Update Package 1.15.32 with Titanium Backup on G920P 6.0.1 PF4 (Domestic Unlock U.S.A) actually kills the Hands Free Activation pop up in every boot, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ASHUJAIN:
Hey!! use package disable pro apk and disable system update from it that all you have to do!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ecobrax3:
Deactivate Hands Free Activation ( HFA)

Open the calculator app

Then hit yes to reset provisioning

The device may reboot a couple of times and may even cycle back to hands free activation one more time, but after that, it will stop and be activated properly

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeannot30:
Hi everyone !

Lately I went to a place were 3G/4G was not reachable and it is there that i noticed that my brand new Moto X play couldn't get any connection in 2G (GSM) mode even if the place was fully covered with 2G/EDGE (GSM)...

In 3G/4G there is no problem only on 2G (GSM).

I tried in the settings to put 2G (GSM) only and I can not get any signal even now that i'm back home ....

I tried a factory reset from the recovery it did not work :crying: Do you have an idea on how to solve that problem ?

I also tried to use the sim card with another phone in 2G (GSM) and there it works fine with maximal signal ....

Thanks ! :laugh:

I'm using the stock kernel, I just flashed the OTA (6.0.1) from the stock recovery
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScheMaF:
Same Problem, more information

For my Moto Play X I have a very similar problem:

4G works, but 3G and 2G do not. If I'm connected to a 4G network, I see that there is reception and can use all data transfer functions. But when I want to do a call, I get a timeout. When I'm in a place where there is no 4G network available, I see that I don't have signal - but the network is shown in the list of available networks for manual selection.

As I have a dual SIM variant (stock ROM, not a custom modification or "upgrade") my second SIM does work like a charm. I tried now and swapped the SIMs - and it seems that just the SIM1 slot is having those problems. The same SIM also works perfectly in the second SIM slot.

I also tries to reset just the network settings (an option provided by the stock ROM) but this didn't change anything.

Next step I'm currently working on is doing a factory reset - will take a while until backup and restore will enable me to see the real result. I'll keep you up to date....

UPDATE: factory reset didn't change anything - will send phone to repair now. :,-(
