I had the same problem (using T-Mobile UK), all I got was a text message with a URL to T-Mobile's site.

To fix it, just send an MMS to yourself! For some reason, you need to send an MMS before you can receive one (at least that was the case with T-Mobile).

Try it and see if this fixes your problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Neutron83:
yea for me it was the same,

i called tmobile why its so scarry, they told me that they need to know if your device supports MMS and the best way is to see an mms coming from your device so they can be sure that u are working on an mms enabled device.

Is there a way to unlock oem on galaxy A025u
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] ShaDisNX255:
"U" variants (U.S.) have their bootloaders locked, so no.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] Mattinthahack:
I have a metro U model and I unlocked the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] HalfAsleepAdam:
teach me
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] Samsquantch84:
I also have the A025U metropcs version. Important!* Doing this will wipe your phone.* All I had to do was enable developer mode by tapping Build Version in About Phone 10 times. Go into Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking. Then shut off the phone. Hold Vol Up & Vol Down & Power until Download Mode appears. Then hold Vol Up(import to hold and not just tap) and screen shows Bootloader Unlock Mode. Hit Yes. After unlocking follow the steps in the first post here to install twrp and magisck.

How do you tell if you have a U1 bootloader?
[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] solo89:
My Sharp Android TV (4T-C70BK2UD) has had an update available for a while. In the spot where it used to say "update now" it said something about new features, which leads me to think it upgraded in the background to Android 11.

The TV now constantly resets, sometimes a google/android error pops up "storage space low"

I'd LOVE to figure out how to launch into safe mode / recovery mode / bootloader and wipe it clean for a fresh restart otherwise it seems like my TV is bricked?

Already reached out to Sharp Customer Service, and waiting for a response--- anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

I would like my Kodi app on Android to be able to access the Android/data folder. My device is rooted. Any ideas how I can do this?
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
Hello colleagues, I would like you to help me please, I recently unlocked my device's bootloader and in an attempt to lock it again to remove the bootloader locked message, I got the following error: "No valid operating system could be found. The device will not boot." when flashing the rom to the device again it refuses, stating that the bootloader is locked, and when I ask to unlock it returns me to go to the settings, in the developer options section and from there activate the oem unlock, but it is not possible because the device it doesn't turn on, it's just from the error screen to the cell phone off, or from the cell phone off to the bootloader.

I'm desperate because the device is for my own use and I need to fix it urgently.
[Moto G40 / G60] ankurpandeyvns:
I faced the same issue. You cannot do anything about it. If you're under warranty, get the motherboard replaced in service center. Or you'll have to get your emmc replaced outside
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
Got it, it's not under warranty because I unlocked the bootloader, so the only way is to replace a motherboard?

If so where can I get support? Can it be at any technical assistance in the city or does it have to be an authorized motorola company?
[Moto G40 / G60] ankurpandeyvns:
Check in your area if someone can do it. Else getting a new motherboard is going to be very expensive
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
If so, is there any other way without having to replace the motherboard?
[Moto G40 / G60] Devilme:
Hy patrick......can your phone gets in fastboot mode
[Moto G40 / G60] V0latyle:
You made a cardinal mistake - NEVER lock the bootloader on custom software.

The error message means that the firmware you installed is not signed or cannot be verified by the bootloader.

It looks like Motorola has a rescue tool here that may help. Otherwise, you might try sideloading an OTA package (if available); there is a tool here that may be helpful.

If not, you're SOL.
[Moto G40 / G60] Devilme:
Yes you can repair it by flashing the stock rom through platform tools by fastboot method but firstly install adb drivers and usb drivers for your phone on pc check whether your phone is detected by pc in fastboot mode or not connect your phone to pc through usb cable and put your phone in fastboot mode and type fastboot devices on Command prompt if it detect your device then you are good to go .....and it doesn't require a unlocked bootloader this can help you......
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
Hello, he is company on fastboot normally
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
Thanks, I will try, but the software was not customized but the official one in case I was trying to downgrade from android 12 to 11 because I didn't like 12
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
I tried this method but it returned saying that the "bootloader flash permission denied" even with the device rom provided by motorola
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
Was it under warranty in your case? if not how much on average was the repair?
[Moto G40 / G60] V0latyle:
Ah, I misunderstood.

A locked bootloader will always refuse flash commands.
[Moto G40 / G60] ankurpandeyvns:
I was not under warranty and no one is able to fix yet with any tool.

A guy here in Bangalore had a tool named Easy JTAG, he was trying to write to the UFS but it's failing there too. Idk what motorola wants lol
[Moto G40 / G60] Patrick972:
The issue is that it is so illogical that it seems that this error was made specifically to stop us developers and make us go to an authorized one to fix it, it makes no sense to re-lock the bootloader to return a bizarre error like this, and motorola doesn't to comment on this, I took it to an authorized one and they gave me the budget of 920 R$, about 181.23 Dollars, they said that to solve the problem, the device's motherboard should be replaced and the worst thing is that for being a recent device, I can't find the motherboard anywhere so I can change it myself and pay less.
[Moto G40 / G60] Copo Gold:
Did you manage to fix it?
[Moto G40 / G60] wrkadung:
The error occurs due to locking the bootloader when phone is running on a custom boot image/ROM/rooted with magisk. It is really simple to fix, just boot your phone into fastboot mode and flash factory image/stock firmware.

The right way to lock the bootloader is to first factory reset the phone or install a stock firmware /factory image and you'll never experience this error again.

I recently fixed this error on a Google Pixel 7. You can watch the step-by-step tutorial here.
[Moto G40 / G60] arsradu:
It is that simple on a Pixel. On Moto devices, LMSA won't flash with a locked bootloader, when the device is in this specific state. You can see the error below.

View attachment 5830025

Also, it will not let you unlock the bootloader again, since the "OEM Unlocking" option is not checked anymore. And, obviously, you can't check it, since you can't boot.

So yes, the solution is to flash stock ROM. The problem is...you can't flash from fastboot (bootloader won't accept flash commands), and you can't use LMSA to flash either. So...you need to make sure everything is clean BEFORE attempting to lock the bootloader. In other words, do the cleanup with an unlocked bootloader, and make sure everything is back to stock before locking back the bootloader.

[Moto G40 / G60] JonW434:
Antony is highly recommended for fixing this problem.

My problem came from the anti rollback feature, trying to go from Android 13 to Android 12 with official rom. It required bootloader unlock and it didn't relock properly. Very frustrating that Motorola did this because 13 has some annoying bugs. And now the phone is stuck with them and it can never be unlocked again. But Antony did a great job of fixing it.

I will be blocking OTA updates on future Motorola phones if I ever get another one until I know that a new OS version is actually better. Even the original fonts and wallpapers are missing.. it sucks. But yeah.. I don't trust them to update Android version without creating new problems.

There is a tool that enables factory enable OEM LOCKED state but it cannot be re-unlocked anymore.

If my guess is right he is using the same tool as others talking about magictool. Its definitely not costs 50 dollar just the guy want some profit for himself. Whatever the truth if he can save your phone for 50 $ then its worth it.

[Android Head-Units] VoodooCeeJay:
Been looking at ways to add voice commands to my Android TS10 head unit, My last car had a little pad and buttons that was in easy reach but now the system is a little reach.

Having not had much luck with google assistant, I found a program called Toppal. Does anybody use it or heard of it and is it any good.

Here is a link to the site https://toppal.ai/

And here is a video of it in action
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
I'll follow this thread as my units come with Toppal preinstalled (but only the basic level, you have to pay for upgrade) but to me it's just a nuisance using resources, I've never tried to actually use it and I have asked here if anyone knows how to remove it without causing anything else to fail, but I got no answers.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aembo:
Please any help would be appreciated! So I'm having some touch screen calibration issues after root and flashing TWRP + LineageOS. I search the forums and find that it can be fixed by dialling *#2663# and updating the firmware, but for whatever reason it doesn't work for my device. I tried other codes and find that none of them work at all on this device?? Do the codes normally stop working after root and will I need to flash back to stock firmware to get them back? The Phone Info App didn't work either. The SPen still works so at least the phone isn't totally unusable but it's still very irritating that nothing seems to fix this. Thanks in advance!

EDIT - I ended up fixing this by flashing stock Samsung firmware (marshmallow 6.0.1) via Odin. The code worked perfectly and I was able flash LineageOS again and it all works fine now! It was a little annoying to basically have to start all over but at least it's all good now lol. Cheers.

I don't know know for sure, but I couldn't easily find any. I leave the firmware alone unless it gets corrupted. In over 12 years that's never happened.

I've already added arrowOS without gapps, installed some scripts and apps that allow freedom of performance and freedom of wiping a phone at will. But my main concern is imei and associated things. Can someone explain to me how they go thru the steps of making a phone truly a blackphone? I've got a 500$ offer as is but they'll offer 600$ if i can remove the second mic and gps. That possible? What would you reccommend?

I've also thought about using kali nethunter on this device as an ssh server and using ssh port forwarding with telegram to route thru dynamic tor connection on this current phone from their main phone. Give me some feedback plz
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] intheb0x:
Why couldn't you just physically open up the phone and remove the second mic and disable the GPS by perhaps removing a finger off the GPS chip? Is that a little bit too advanced for you? Not trying to be a **** or anything but I think that's how I would go about it unless there's an app or a way to physically lock down GPS I'm not really sure but you know for sure way to make sure there ain't no second mic and the GPS doesn't work you remove the second mic I mean it can even stay in there but you just cut the wire to it or the lead same with the GPS chip with a finger on the chip the power the finger that leads to the power break that off and it would never be powered up I don't know how the phone will react to that as for the IMEI I have no idea.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Xryphon:
You can disable sensors with Magisk and applications, I believe. If you want something that's hardware - sided, you'll have to take out the items manually.

My Verizon Wireless Galaxy S7 fails to boot and bootloops even after flashing the correct stock firmware using Odin3, and when trying to use the Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant, the first error shows up as 'DVIF!!' and the second being 'Unsupport dev_type.' The phone was working perfectly fine with no signs of an issue up until some random point about a week ago where it started to bootloop, showing the splash screen, turning off, restarting with the vibration, splash screen, and repeat. The phone ONLY boots into Odin mode, and i've only gotten it into Maintenance Boot mode once on accident. Which did nothing to help.

Some more info:

Model #: SM-G930V

Hardware Revision: 0.6(as read by the OS settings before it bricked)

CPU: Snapdragon

CSC: VZW

Some more issues i've encountered while trying to rig it back together:

When draining the battery to 0 and plugging it in, No battery level indicator or charging light appears. The only real indication i have is when it tells me to plug the phone in, and the lightning bolt above an empty gauge, not even displaying a battery percentage. After a few seconds to a couple minutes, it will try to boot again. Which of course, ends up in a bootloop.

sometimes, when booting, the entire screen will appear "screwed-up", the colors being off or the screen being blurry and mis-matched like a jigsaw puzzle.

This phone was purchased shortly after the launch, and has not had a reset or any need of replacement components.

Before it bricked, i had done these four things:

Install Mobile Performance Meter(data app, sells your information but you get credit for it)

Install My TruConnect(the current carrier i'm on and their app, since the phone was unlocked and i didn't use verizon anymore)

Enable developer mode

Allow USB Debugging
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imonxda:
I used to have one of these a few years ago, I still have the Samsung firmware packages many different versions - from what I recall, the device let me downgrade firmware as long as I flashed them in succession, so as long as I could find the next lower version, it would let me flash it, but if I tried to skip any firmware versions, then it would fail to flash with Odin. Why am I telling you this? Because if you say you can still get into Odin mode, you may have a shot at unbriking if you were to successfully flash the next lower version firmware than the current firmware version that you have on it presently - it's worth a shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imonxda:
I also remember it was super sensitive to using a non-samsung branded usb cable, vs a real Samsung cable. Seriously, it's no BS. ODIN would stall or fail with one cable tested good on other devices, then using original samsung cable would finish the same operation successfully. Also, sensitive to being used attached to a VM, vs connected to a real PC. I was on a Mac using a Parallels VM running ODIN in Win7, and ODIN would fail even though it would mount the USB device correctly in the Win7 VM and in ODIN - then I ran same setup connected to my Lenovo Win7 laptop, and ODIN had no problems. And of course I'm assuming you're using a version of ODIN compatible with S7.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Although I haven't touched Samsung for a while It's probably the same old routine..

Flash stock rom with odin, straight into fastboot, wipe data/factory reset, turn off, flash AGAIN the stock rom. Its IMPORTANT that you don't let it boot the OS between flashes. Reboot after the second flash and it should go into OS. If it doesn't then the nand has died, which a known Samsung thing, ESPECIALLY if it was rooted.

Artifacting on the screen (dodgy broken looking colours) is most likely a dead nand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imonxda:
This is what I've been thinking from the start, a dead/corrupted internal memory NAND - But I have experienced this device and other Samsung models that display signs of NAND corruption, but after stubborn ODIN flashing using proper USB cable, the right chosen firmware version, the right USB port, and a fitting version of ODIN, I have unbricked, after repeated failed ODIN flashing attempts. I'm not saying this is your case, only that there is a chance (however small) that it could be your case. If you need to download a few different firmware versions ODIN packages, let me know in a PM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApolloFJ:
Typically the broken-up artifacting happens when the phone bootloops multiple times for me. Also, the vibration will keep going even after it's attempt to boot. Afterwards it tries to fix itself by restarting, which of course starts up the process again.

Now i might doubt that the NAND is dead, but i wouldn't be surprised. 7 years old, tossed and thrown in a thick rubber case as a work phone in the Home Depot, and pre-1.0 hardware revisions all point towards some problem. Surprisingly the only thing damaged is the front lens cover.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imonxda:
So are you able to hold vol-down or up, HOME button, or POWER btn keys and get it in ODIN mode after it restats trying to "fix itself"? Are you able to get it in ODIN mode by any means?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApolloFJ:
Yes. ODIN Mode works perfectly fine with no issue, the only thing that does not work whatsoever is booting. Some smaller things do not work normally but still appear to function, at least i hope.
