Hello, I need help with my Samsung Focus, I flashed but has fallen on the initial screen, someone help me solve this problem please ... thank you.
OK dude, you're gonna have to provide a *LOT* more info than that.
Which hardware revision of the Focus (1.3 or 1.4)?
What ROM was it on, including version?
What ROM were you flashing to it (version, etc.)?
What tool did you use?
What happened (the full explanation, not "it didn't work")?
What does the phone do now when you try and boot it (again, not "fallen on initial screen" but exactly which screen, and does it look normal or not)?
Also, the standard solution for a bad flash is to use Zune to restore the phone from a backup. These backups are created automatically when an official update is installed, and contain the full image including the ROM. They can be restored by going to Settings->Phone->Update when the phone is connected to Zune, or by putting the phone in download mode during bootup (if you can't boot normally) and connecting to the PC with Zune running.

Do you have a SD memory card installed or is it just running with the default 8 gigs of memory?

No, the phone is running with the 8 gigs of memory by default , I'll put it a SD memory card after the flash process, but....the phone isnt work yet.
Try to flash another ROM on it... maybe the 2 you've tried were not appropriate for your phone.
Was this originally an AT&T phone?

Yes, I think,..however, how I know if my phone is an originally an AT&T phone?
New to this site but have done days of searches for my problem. Since JB update my bluetooth is not working and I have also found out Airplane mode is messed up also. Both will have slight responses for a short time after booting , then nothing. I down graded back to ICS and I get some functionality and have actually paired a device but does not work correctly. Asus wants the tablet sent back , but it sure seems to me as it is Op system causing all of this. It was working fine before. I am new to messing around with android , So one question is since I down graded to ICS 4.0 does the actual device firmware downgrade completely also ? I see that Bluetooth Version lowered and other versions lowered , but could something else not get back to that version , some type of Bios type settings? ( I was told no Bios in android ,but is there something like it ? )
So does anyone have the same problems , any answers or thoughts ?
Is there a way to erase everything completely and go back to the exact files software , kernals etc. as when in the box it came in.
Sure seems to act like a software driver type problems.
What are the "Source Code" that are offered on the Asus Site ? Can those used to be used to Factory fresh the device ?
I do not want to void any warrenty , but before I send back I want to see if it is Hardware or software.
Thanks

Source code is only useful for software developers. To restore your device as close to factory state as possible, install the full firmware package of your desired version, as you already did when downgrading, and wipe data.
Things not restored by this method:
- device-dependent settings (e.g. serial number, sensor calibration data)
- DRM key
- Partition table
These usually cannot be changed by the user and therefore do not need to be restored anyway.
My main concern is the kernal, I feel that this may be the cause of my problems , if indeed the hardware does not have a problem. So when I restored to ICS , Did the kernal complete revert to factory also ? I understand now that the Kernal is the ( Bios) of Android , takes comands from software and tells hardware what to do . ( Right ? )
I am finding that the "Factory Reset " from from "Setting" does not truely reset all settings ( I set a Sound Setting before Reset , and the same setting was "on" after the reset ), therefore a "Firmware" reset back to ICS may leave the reason my bluetooth and airplane is not working.
So is there a way to use the "blob" with-out rooting or causing a warrenty issue ?
The kernel is part of the full firmware, so it is flashed when you install the firmware. It is the core of the operating system and also contains all the hardware drivers. The PC BIOS would be more comparable to the tablet's bootloader, as it only initializes the hardware and loads the kernel.
Your problem description is completely worthless. If you expect help, state exactly what you did, which error messages appear, and describe in detail what does not work and what you expected.
I thought i expalined better. I will try again. I used my bluetooth on my tablet connected to my phone and sent photos to tablet from phone. All was fine, Did not try and use bluetooth again untill a week later ( 3 days after OTA JB update ) now the bluetooth does not work and I see that Airplane mode is not working correctly either.
Since this happened right after the JB Update , It made since to me it is an update problem. I was wanting to go back to the exact state before update to see if errors were gone. I have re installed ICS and had better response from bluetooth , was able to pair a device but after pairing would not work ( headphones , sound stayed on tablet ) .
With these findings it would lead me to beleave two things , the "Firware install of ICS " left traces of the newer Kernal , that caused the problem or the Tablet hardware is the problem.
does that make more since to you ? Sorry about the first Question. I have let the tablet do the OTA back to JB and still in the same situation. I have an RMA set up , but I just like to know for sure the cause before sending back.
Thanks for you time.

I'm giving up.
Ok, Well thanks for trying ? I do not have any other info. to tell you then my last reply , that is all that I can explain , What is wrong what I did and what I was trying to figure out by process of elimination.
Hello there,
Please forgive me if i posted this thread on the wrong place.
-I would've not posted a thread here unless this got serious, so i own a Samsung Galaxy S6, it's 1 year old phone, when i first got it, i used it normally like everyone else and had no problem with it, but my curiosity got me to root the phone, i still did not get any problem with it until i chose to add a ROM. I used NNE 5.1 S8 port and it was working well until it got my phone broken somehow.
-My phone started acting really strange after 2 months of activity of that new ROM, my phone just started restarting randomly and it got me worried, i thought it's an application problem so i first just factory reset it. It seemed it was not the problem on an application, so i chose to change my firmware to a stock one. I searched up recently on the newest firmware for S6 and i found out it's: XEF (France) , PDA (AP): G920FXXU6ERC1 and CSC : G920FOXA6ERC1 on 2018-03-22. I Downloaded 4 files: BL,AP,CP,CSC , and i found out about PIT on one of the posts in this forum (Filename: SM-G920F-ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit).
-Before i flashed with Odin, i wiped System, Data, Cache and Dalvrik Cache. The firmware worked well but after 1 hour it started doing the same thing but now differently. It happend to me only 1 time that it froze up on an application, but i think that is just an app problem. The main problem is that when i lock my screen, i cannot unlock it anymore, it just freezes there until it restarts after a short period of time. After the restart, it just keeps going, restarts, asks for pin, restarts and so on.
I tried removing the sim card and putting it back in, did not work.
I tried Safe mode, still same.
Model of phone: SM-G920F
Current firmware: XEF (G920FXXU6ERC1)
Android version: Nougat (7.0)
If you can help me, or you know something about this problem, please repost here, i would be really grateful since this is my only phone

How could samsung switch possibly help?
I did flash it with different versions already, but no luck :/.
I've been praying a lot for this lately but it is not working lol
Please Bump this!
try doing this.
1) go here: https://updato.com/
2) choose download 2 roms. 1 nougat and another marshmallow (to my knowledge, stock roms are one file. no more splits and unless otherwise stated... no need for pit)
3) first flash nougat using oden
4) try the phone for a few some time.
if after a set amount of time, phone works fancy and no issues present then it's solved.
if not... install marshmallow. then try again.
if all this fails then...
install nougat. as soon as possible afterwards install twrp.
boot into twrp and just leave it there. my twrp locks after a while and screen goes dark until user interaction (just like it's supposed to)
if the same thing happens then its a hardware issue... probably... (i have had my main board fail... kinda similar not similar issue... hope you dont have the same issue and that its just software related)
good luck.
In my case every time there was an update available it would download the whole firmware and by doing so you would get the most fresh and updated version. Also it updates every partition to match
Good morning, I've been on the phone for two days now that's crazy ... and everything is clear to touch where I should not surely hehe
I comment a little to see if you can throw me a handle, either to put the phone right or neck.
I had a rom on my cell phone for maybe 4 or 5 months and the only thing that a couple of weeks or so ago every time I went in the car or with the bike when using bluetooth calls failed, so I started looking in internet and I saw that many rom failed in that, because I decided to put another rom. All good, but the same mistake followed and the one that did not vibrate added up. Well now I have been trying to try different but yesterday there is no way, you can see that I made a small brick. After talking for some comments on YouTube, he told me that it could be that he has damaged binary, (I do not know what it is), they told me to download to Android 6.0
The question is yes, I tried a firmware (the only one that I could install with odin, the rest always fails) and I have now the phone that works half, because it still does not vibrate, every time I turn on I have to enter key wifi and some more things , not counting the andorid that I have haha that is outdated.
Testing with Odin to install other firmware now I get on the mobile, secure check fail bootloader. (I understand that it may be that the bootloader is blocked) but I do not know how to unblock it either, I have the developer options enabled with debugging usb and OEM.
I have also tried to install with Odin the TWRP and it comes out that if it has been installed correctly but then I try to get in and out fail and restart.
I have seen that there is a guide here for TWRP but it is for android 7.0 ... so I do not think it's good either.
After this billet ... does anyone give me a hand?
Thank you very much in advance!
PD: I add, right now I have the J710FXXU5BRC3 version but J710FXXS3AQG1 runs too. both with android 6.0
PD2: another mistake, is that when I go to flash it puts: sw rec. check fail. device 5, binary 3
My attempt to install the OOS Cam bricked my phone.... so my question is Why did my phone got bricked exactly? I want to know what I did wrong since I really want to use the OOS Camera.So I was trying to get the original stock camera app to work on my device because the other ones looks horrible. I mean I have a kind of flagship device and the photo quality looks like my old cheap Huawei phone.
First I tried with an 3.x.x version of the app installed as an normal application. It works but the quality is still bad.
This is where I got that apk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/apk-oneplus-camera-for-any-a11-custom-rom.4350205/
On Reddit there is a post that said if you replace the Camera.apk on /system/app/Camera with the OnePlus Camera it should work.
The result? It worked and the quality seems better!....but some functions of the app like video or changing the size of the picture crash the app. Now the phone got really hot for some reason. No idea why but anyways I decided to go "creative" and I analyzed the official OxygenOS Rom(This is where I got the OOS Camera apk) to see what files where related to the OnePlus Camera app and then I pushed it through ADB to the respective directories of my phone.
These are the directories that I added with their specific files:/system/priv-app/OnePlusCameraService/
/system/system_ext/priv-app/OnePlusCamera/
/system/system-ext/priv-app/OnePlusGallery/
Then I rebooted the phone expecting to see the OnePlus Camera working in all it's glory!...The phone got stuck in the boot logo.
The phone stays on the boot logo for some seconds, then reboots again but this time in Recovery mode and says this:
Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you might need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data store in this device.
Click to expand...

I did the factory data reset but it did not work.
Now this might seem relatively easy to fix by using adb right? Well it is the worst moment to have the usb port damaged so until I fix that I have this beautiful OnePlus Paperweight.
The last detail is I actually deleted a folder which contained the .xml config files of the OOS Cam I installed on the second try because I thought it might cause some issues with the last try. Those files were on /system/data/
The phone have the bootloader open because I use a custom ROM and this one is called "/e/" which is based on Lineage OS. I used the wireless ADB function since my usb port is damaged, it jsut works as a charge port.
Again my main motive to this post is to understand "what did I do wrong?". I don't get why Android thinks the data is corrupted. The files are the official ones and as far I know I didn't deleted any important files. I even want to try with a more modern version of the app since I use the 6.4.45. This is the one that came on my phone the moment I opened the box. I want to see if the quality of the pictures got better with a newer one.
If you read this massive dump of text...thank you!
