[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadenEllis:
I'm really hoping someone can bail me out here before I...

I have made a mess of my new (to me) Note 4. I bought it as an Unlocked GSM. It arrived booting with a Sprint screen. I have Safelink BYOP service. When I switched from my Note2 to Note4, yesterday, an ATnT sim card was used to activate it with Tracfone. Everything seemed to work EXCEPT for MMS - I could not send nor receive pictures. I read -what I thought was- clear instructions here on the forum, I started downloading and attempting to root my phone, hoping that would solve the problem, since tech support had no answers.

I followed the instructions in this post - https://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/help/rooting-sprint-note-4-pj1-t3495306 . Now the phone will only boot to download mode, or I can use the up volume button to get to the program to install, restore, etc. I have tried several times - with a couple of different .tar files. This last attempt - I tried to restore it - that also failed. My old eyes can not really see the tiny text but I did see in Odin3 that 1) No MDS found 2) Systemless mode Boot img support required 3) Boot Image Patcher Failed. When I attempt to install the SuperSU, from the thread, it gives me similar errors 1) NO MDS file found 2) (under Boot Image patcher it says FAILURE / Abort after extracting Ramdisk.

If anyone could help me out, I would be most grateful.

I pm you also. Read it first, make sure I'm right.

Then download attached file samfirm.

Here's it's original post, to show how to use, https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Use that program to download the stock firmware for your phone.

Use model number: SM-N910P

Use Region: XAS

Then use Odin to flash stock firmware. All should be good then!

Added Odin! Use this version!

Thank You

Thank you so much for the reply. I have downloaded the files you put in my post. I will attempt to do these things now, but I have a question. I stayed up fighting with the phone all night. I probably did some things I shouldn't have? I realized that I was getting stupid and quit, but I did (maybe) put some other stuff on the phone that night. Should I use the Clean or wipe function in TWRP before I do anything else???

Yes, I can boot to downloader or to TWRP. The phone (on its own) is now stuck trying to load with the Note 4 splash screen - but I can boot to either with the vol +/- buttons.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadenEllis:
First - THANK YOU all for the assistance.

Yesterday, none of the suggestions were working, but I kept at it. I was finally able to install the most current Stock tar that I could find. This phone had updated to the most current version available for the phone - it had Marshmallow 6.01. NOW, the red and yellow tamper errors appear to be gone from the Note4 splash screen - BUT, it boots to Sprint Activation so it won't fully load to OS. I read a post about removing the Sprint Hands Free Activation, but it gives two ways of doing so. 1 requires having a rooted phone (I am assuming it is not rooted now?) and the other uses ADN Connect, and I am not sure what that is.

I'm not really sure what to do from here? Any assistance appreciated. Can I start from step 1 of the original post to install SuperSU now?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadenEllis:
Well, the sun is about to come up - again - but I think I got it! This has been a learning experience to say the least. I wasn't really planning a crash course in Android, but thank you to all who responded. And to :Samep too!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadenEllis:
I think I get it :)

So, after a little rest I have a Note 4 with the most current stock tar. When I left it, at sun up, I had a slightly older stock version and rooted through TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted with the latest version of SuperSU. I spent a couple of few hours continuing to read and figure out how I would get it updates. If I could ask just a couple more questions??

If I put the TWRP 3.0.2.0 will the tamper warning come back to the flash screen?

Can I put TWRP on without rooting with SuperSU?

If not TWRP - is there a way to do a full backup without it? I REALLY want to get a good backup of what it has now - a fresh install of the latest 6.01 - and nothing else.

Thank you again.

Thanks in advance i appreciate your time

Hello. I have similar issue as described here on this thread. I purchased an unlocked note 4 to run on cricket/att was working fine. Except lte. I tried to root an add nougat an ive screwed up. Somehow ended up in hidden menu. And chabged something made me have no service so i reset didnt work i factory reset data reset switched from global to cdma to lte. An nothing phone says 3g when its in activate your phone menu but does not work. Also it now says im on sprint network in about phone. Please help. Thanks again in advance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron74:
Sorry I don't get on here much lately. Just seen your post.

Without knowing exactly what you did. I'd say you lost your unlock. If you had an unlocked sprint phone. And tried nougat. I believe i remember that upgrading to nougat was messing up people's EFS partition. And that's where the unlock happens. Did you make a backup?

I always tell everyone, the most important thing you can do is have a full working backup of every partition.

Hope that sheds some light

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
It's advisable and recommended to send the phone to the original vendor,as its a cingular,send it to official cingular repair shop or if still under warranty,ask for a replacement.Instead of sending it to any third party repair shop,or if you have a knowledge and can replace the screen yourself,you can get a new screen from ebay.

Hi ;-;

Summary:

A nice app to push out OTAs for independent kernel/rom maintainers and those peeps who push ci builds every 5 mins on telegram and expect you to install every build

To know more about this project read

https://github.com/alamo18/Updater/blob/master/README.md

Stalk the project

https://trello.com/b/8uUAlRlg/gib-updater

If you're wondering how my parents are gonna allow ne to buy a ssd with a petabyte of data for hosting the files, there will be no hosting provided. You do your own hosting and paste the direct download link in the json. When the app does it's check, and if the build number > the installed one, the app will do a multi-threaded download (like the one you see in ADM) to get the file, if the file is over 100mb, and do a md5 check if possible. Lastly, it will either help you install it(if you have root) or you have to manually do it yourself, a notification will popup. So there will be no downtimes unless your provider fails you.

This project is WIP, means everything is still in development, we are still testing the backend stuff. Appreciate PRs or any contributions given. Developers who intend to use this for pushing OTAs, you can pm me. For users who want their devices to be supported, fill in your device name and codename here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LTHMxTaEWG8kr0wFhXWKHhftQfZwZ2m2Ds1yL_P2rcY/edit?usp=drivesdk

Btw, the telegram grp here is t.me/gibbbbbb

We do some discussions there. Some UX concepts attached. Thanks Josh B for helping with the awesome UX concepts and Nicholas Chum for the repo drawing. The current logo for the project is written in josh(aka till) sans

For now, dont expect much progress, i need to study. I have exams, and the last paper is on 17 October. I can't code after the exam cuz i need to catch up on some gaming stuff, on 18th October(my 14th birthday) I'll start working intensively on this project.

Don't stalk my git please

[General Questions and Answers] Hydranize:
Can anyone tell me here if its possible to recovery deleted files from an SD card that was in my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? I had video clips in my *Gallery* and then moved all of it over into a few folders that I created on my SD card inside of my phone. This being said I still had all of the clips in my *Gallery* on my phone but I take it that even though it was there in my Gallery that the actual file was located on my SD card. Well I thought by me deleting the videos from my Gallery on my phone that it would still be on my SD card and just not in my Gallery. Could anyone tell me if these files can still be recovered? I Google'd a few things and came across an app called *Undelete* from the Google Play store which I downloaded and installed and it seems like the app can only recovery image files from a cache I believe but in order to use the app fully that I need to have my phone rooted. So I then searched about rooting and just now downloaded what I believe is a root tool for my phone onto my Windows 7 computer. Please any and all help would be greatly appreciated with this.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gronyone:
Hello,

My friends NOTE 2 (GT-N7105) stuck DEAD after it jumped into DOWNLOAD MODE. They tried to restart phone 3x because they didn't know what happened. After third restart it stuck DEAD. It's not able to turn on, to get into recovery or download mode. Is there any possibility to fix it? I've tried some fixes with pulling off battery and volume button, several times to get into recovery or download mode, etc... Noting worked. Is phone really dead, or is there any chance to save phone??

THANK YOU!! I appreciate anything!! :)

THANKS FOR ANYTHING!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I would look for a cheap, used note 2 with a working motherboard and damaged screen, then replace the motherboard if possible. If you can't find a phone that is cheap enough, I recommend selling it for parts and put the proceeds towards a new phone.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] charlatan01:
I can't say I am surprised, but I thought I'd ask and see what they say. Here's an email and the response I received.

Me:

Hello, Before I order the 8, I'd like to know if you provide the means / process to unlock the bootloader for your devices. I typically run stock Android, which I know you provide, but occasionally like to run custom ROM's as well. An unlocked bootloader will allow flexibility, and providing the ability to unlock will gain you a following in the modding community. Thanks!

Nokia:

Regarding your inquiry about the bootloader unlock for the Nokia 8, please be informed that we may not provide this information.

Additionally, please note that unlocking the bootloader for the device will void the warranty and we therefore do not recommend it.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Best regards,

Nokia Mobile Care team

Now, I am really having a hard time coming up with a NEED for the bootloader to be unlocked... unless I need it to flash another region to add bands that aren't available on my device... maybe?
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] charlatan01:
Well, the question specifically was not about root, but about unlocking the bootloader, which entirely different... dude.:silly:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alttu:
This is so God damn bad news!

Really thinking about selling this phone right now...
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] charlatan01:
I wouldn't jump ship yet. Fact is, it still may be very easy to unlock the bootloader and gain root, as the device is runing bone stock Android. Frankly, there is not much left that I need root for.

For me, however, the 8 presents a specific problem. I live in the US, and the bands that are listed as supported are missing some LTE bands I really need (12 specifically). I am aware that there are ways to enable available bands for some devices, but I think you NEED an unlocked bl to get that done.

Thats likely a deal breaker for me. :crying:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alttu:

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CazeW:
Maybe there's still a way to flash TWRP without unlocking the bootloader. They did it for example on the Nokia 6 by booting into what they call 9008 port mode (EDL in other words) and flashed the recovery with a tool named MiFlash in that mode. (Link to Nokia 6 thread)

Hi all,

i found an option in Developer Options -> OEM unlocking ->allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

To get developer options tap 8 times "Build number" in About Phone section of settings.

I hope this is the right way for unlocking bootloader.

before i get flamed for being a noob, yes i know you need to enter a code or something to unlock bootloaders unlike pixel/google phones.

Hi Daniel,

Does unlocking bootloader violates the guarantee/warranty?

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] frostmore:
If you are in the EU, no unlocking the bootloader does not void your warranty. It's protect under EU laws. Someone mentioned that in earlier posts. Unless you are in asia or some other parts of the world where they screw consumers in favor of big businesses.

and if you had read through, there is currently no way to unlock the bootloader on the nokia 8. If there was a way and devs are willing to move over to this beautiful device, i'd get it in a heartbeat.

[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zadox:
It is still a good phone but the ship might have sailed. They should have unlocked the bootloader right from the start to create an enthusiast following (instead of waiting for months/years) and they should have started with the flagship (instead of considering the entry/mid level). We could use a company that really thinks different and does not copycat others. Thousands of companies compete in a multibillion (ok, don't get me started with the USA vs UK vs world) market yet the really different (and good) options are just not there.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexspl:
Agreeing with you here. It's been quite a while already. I did choose specifically this phone because of the promise of an unlocked bootloader (besides the specs and clean android). But saving that for the next couple of months will get a lot of root-enthusiastic buyers angry and pissed.

Editing this post, and adding that I personally am already getting frustrated and thinking about selling this goddamn phone before end of year if it doesn't get a bootloader unlock. Is it such a complicated and time-consuming task for them - the manufacturer to do?? geez...
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] street_dog:

I guess hmd is just playing safe now. They might not have enough support staff to deal with people getting their phones bricked at the moment. This phone is not bad. I just hope it become fully customisable very soon.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexspl:
People who unlock and root their phone know they risk they're taking and they should be allowed to do so. It's their phone. They paid for it.

Plus I don't think Nokia is concerned about helping keeping it safe, their only concern is the number of sales. And the bad thing is, I can't return my phone to the authorized seller, since it's been 3 months already. HMD won't see that I've abandoned their brand and won't care. My phone will go to some other person who'll get it for a couple of bucks cheaper.

If initially they would've said the bootloader unlock would come in a week or two, then yeah, I could've returned this phone and gotten my money back.

We're a small number here and this doesn't benefit them that much.

I was naive to believe I'd be able to have Viper4Android up and running on this device last month...
