[General Questions and Answers] Zerarth:
Hi there, bought samsung s6 almost 2 years ago, everything worked great until after about a year it suddenly turned off and bootloop started, the logo itself appeared and nothing more. Connecting to charging didnt change a thing. I decided to wait and after it discharged, it started working normally again and turned on. There has been no problem since this week. Suddenly went out and after connecting to the charging again started to display only the logo and nothing more. But this time, neither discharging it nor charging anything (it is already week like that). I did some research on the internet about recovery mode, etc. but even this recovery mode did not turn on, only could enter the download mode and do a reset (power + volume down). I decided it maybe was battery problem since phone was going from 100% to 0% in like 2 hours lol. I took it to local repair service to exchange the battery for a new one, they did and told me it still doesnt work and bootloops, so battery wasnt the problem, but the motherboard was. They told me that they can try to flash a soft but probably its not the problem and something happened to motherboard. (yesterday) I decided that im gonna just go to the distributor point where i ve bought it and im gonna demand a repair or refund since its on warranty (2 weeks only left lmao) and they told me that samsung probably will just replace this phone for a new one (so im gonna lose all my stuff and things there are REALLY important, 20k important photos, really important messages and more) so i was like okay if im getting new one instantly i need to get this stuff back somehow so i told them ima be back in 2 days when i get the data back. Sooo today i found that there are ways to recover data from bricked phones so i did use dr. fone and went to recovery while on download mode. Then it showed that it failed and nothing changed but to addition recovery is not seandroid enforcing appeared above the logo since then. I thought ok whatever just gonna lose my stuff but getting new phone so whatever. Then i found out that there is something like knox and when i checked it it was flagged 1 (0x0500) and learned when knox gets to 1 warranty is gone and i was like what has just happened LOL. So my question is what should i do now really jesus this is pathetic if i really got rid of my warranty just like that, i wanted to give this phone back tomarrow to get a new one, but now i dont really know what to do im scared that samsung will say that i caused the damage by doing something in system and there is nothing i can do, if the red text wasnt above the logo maybe they wouldnt even check knox status and other stuff but now it just screams like something was done lol should i try to get rid of the red text so they wont see anything and pray or just leave it as it is now and give the phone back (and pray too) or maybe it is not really a problem? i havent rooted and changed anything, havent unlocked any bootloader, too (i think lol) Btw in download mode system status shows official, binary says custom. I think its worth to say that this samsung was getting REAL warm sometimes, i know all of these s6 are like that but trust me it was burning maybe that caused the problem? idk what to do i have time till tomarrow morning to think what im gonna do with this warranty stuff. Since its on warranty only 2 weeks more i have just like one try if they accept the demand, if they dont its gg. What should i do what do you think? :|
