What will they say?

Guys, I bricked my phone badly by ****ing up the radio and now it won't get past the first boot splash. I have no acces to recovery menu nor the fastboot. I have also no working data transfer connection between my computer and the phone for using the terminal to restore the phone. We are talking about a HTC Magic with a 32A motherboard and a HTC Magic wich is living it's second day. I buyed the phone yesturday and bricked it after 4 hours. I woke up told my parents that I set an alarm to wake up early but I woke up on 2 PM because the phone alarm didn't go off. I told them that the second I checked the hour on my phone, I saw the phone was off. So I tried to start the phone but huh? I doesn't start? What's wrong with it? So basicly I'm playing dump. And I also told them to tell the store wich we are going to visit in about 2 hours that the phone didn't work from the second I took it out of the box because otherwhise we have to wait for 3 weeks or so for it to get repaired and maybe we could receive a new phone by telling that. Now I'd like to hear from you guys what you think the store will say, will they take it in from a repair, will they just give me a new phone because it didn't work from the day I bought it or will they know I hacked it even though I keep saying WTF does bricked mean or WTF does hacking mean and like WTF is a SPL?? Or will they ect. ect.

My friend,I think that you're knee-deep into **** right now...If you get lucky and stumble upon some idiot who only knows how to change the battery then yes,you're ok.But I don't think that you will get a new phone...It's highly unlikely...Sorry!

Alright, went to the store, told them the phone was working fine yesturday, I told them I set an alarm and I went to sleep. The next morning I woke up and it was 2 PM, the alarm didn't go off. When I was about to check the hour I noticed the phone was off, when I tried to start it, it didn't. They said, ok, we need to send it in for a repair. I said, no! Screw you, I want my money back. They said ok, ok, they took the phone with its box and everything and they gave me a brand new phone, with the box wrapped in plastic and everything, HAHAHAHAH!
That's what I call a factory reset.

Lolol *highfive!*

how to get back to 100% stock to return phone

the thread title says it all
I need to get to 100% official stock on my verizon.. I don't understand if the "stocks" I have found in development are the 100% original or slightly modified versions...
verizon sent me a new phone, and I need to get my old fascinate to completely 100% safe stock to return it...
I had only 5 days to return the phone, and couldn't ship for the last 3 days
technically I should have returned it yesterday =/
I have to get this done in less than two hours xD
yeah I know.. I'm an idiot...
but if anyone could direct me where to exactly go.. like a link.. to download the odin stock files I would love you and donate to you or something
really the search system here is crap because there are just too many damn unorganized and lengthy posts/threads, I can't get 100% clarification yet and I'm crunched on time so I'm asking for your help
I'd really appreciate it
$5 bucks to whoever can get me where I need to be ASAP
sorry for not finding it myself. I tried.. I just don't have the time now
please help if you know exactly what I need to do
oh and something to note - the phone is deactivated since I hooked up the new verizon.. I dont think that'll matter ? but thought i'd mention it

Here try this link

Any way to manually update to 2.3.6?

I've tried to repeatedly update to 2.3.6, forever every time it tells me i'm up to date. I'm running the stock OS, restored from Odin and rooted with zerg rush. I've cleared days on the device management app and still no love. I don't want to use the flashable update since its not complete. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

I can't get mine to OTA either. I'm 100% stock except for being rooted, but even before rooting I couldn't get it to update.

No your only option is to wait and see if u get the update. Connect to wifi when u check for the update
. Or flash the zip it is complete just does not change your baseband

i think they pulled the 2.3.6 update.. who knows why.

Yeah people keep reporting there phone not having the ota. My question is are you guys checking for.the ota while your connected to wifi? If not. Connect to wifi then check
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
Please and report if it worked or.not.

I got my skyrocket last week and updated instantly. My friend got one yesterday and will not see the update. I have tried it about 20 different times, so maybe the did pull the update for some reason.

Did your friend try while connected to wifi? For folks who have yet to receive the update in the status bar above, you might want to take the manual route. I am quite sure that the majority of you already know how to do that, but for those who do not know and are rather green to the entire setup, here is how you get going – first of all, pull down your phone’s Menu, head on to Settings and then Software Update. Select Check For Updates, and you ought to be able to see the Over The Air (OTA) update begin. Make sure you have a full battery and are connected to a Wi-Fi network to make it as painless as possible!

......................yeah i think mabye they did pull it because so many of you havent gotten it somethings definately up

Yes. Someone has to of saved the update on their phone for Devs to look at.

I dumped my system to a dev he made a rom out of it for tmobile sgs2. I changed the build prop and apps back to at%t so there is a 2.3.6 rooted rom. It just does not update the modem.. but ive asked a dev to help me make a modem update zip to flash... but heres the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361144

I called at&t today asking them why I haven't gotten the 2.3.6 update yet and the answer I got was priceless. First he stated that at&t releases the update in batches and I probably just haven't gotten there yet which I was fine with. But then he went on to say I should be getting another update after that to... wait for it... 3.1 honeycomb. At this point I hung up. I'd love to hear what answers anyone else gets from at&t.

Lol priceless

10 chars
but on a side note, it appears the load was pulled. If I had to guess they saw reports in these very forums of users not loosing root when doing the OTA update. I bet the next ROM or push addresses that since the ROM itself appears to block the zergrush exploit we use to root this device. That is just a guess.

I've read someone reported problem with screen being turned all the way up after batter dropped 10 or 5%, and some other weird problems. Perhaps that's the reason for the pull?

says a patch is available but servers are busy
I'm european and my unlocked phone said servers are busy try again later, then slapped a 24hours cooldown till the next check
Only a factory reset reset the 24 hours cooldown (people suggested setting the date but nevermind)
Anyone tried the OTA update outside the US ?
Thanks
JD

You can always adjust the date forward and recheck... or date back then check if you're checking for the first time...

Yea mine won't find the update either even on wife. Lol AT&T had to be the worst customer service experience I've had. Took over 2 hours to update two phones.

tried with wifi also, no update
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

in the same boat as you guys...been pushing the date forward so i can check a couple times a day while on wifi, with full charge, and plugged in but still haven't found any updates.
does anybody know if they pulled the update? i've read a few different things regarding this...

I found that if you use SQLite Editor on the Device Management Database. Then open the fumo table and the change the lastupdatetime field to 0 it will reset the 24 hour cooldown.

[Q] Nexus 5 Died out on me.

Hi. long story short. I got my nexus 5. Probably about almost 3 weeks. And I liked it and all, got it rooted, custom ROM etc etc etc..... Today I was playing a random game. No problem at all. Started using it like normal. Then out of nowhere, tremendous lag(maybe 40 seconds) then phone turns off. Then it reboots. I probably thought, some Roms have these issues. I can live with it. Then out of nowhere while in the middle of a call...... it decides to turn off. I try turning it on, and get nothing. I try charging it. Nothing at all. Luckily I have my nexus 4. But truthfully. I bought a nexus 5 off some guy who bought it from the site. I still have the box and all. But if this is a hardware issue only Google can fix. Is there something that has to be done to get it sent to them? I hate the fact that it was completely out of nowhere. Nothing wet, hardcase cover, screen protector. Everything was secure. Haven't had any problem at all till right now!
Is there a solution to this? I have tried going into boot loader. Download or w.e it is. Connecting it to a computer and nothing at all works!!! I'm starting to panic!!! Is there anything else I can do?!?!

Does it have warranty at Google? You can fastboot it and download the stock rom via google and return to stock. If that doesn't work RMA it. If it doesn't have warranty then use it as a building block in your backyard coz that's one of the risks of buying a phone from another person at 2nd hand; you'll never know what that person did to the phone.

Crap.... Read about the Completely wipe phone... *Sigh*... I have a white nexus 5 as well that went through this. But for some reason it let's me get to the boot loader at least.... Possible way of using a toolkit to fix it? I really don't want to delete all those pics and other stuff I have on my phone. But if that's what I must do then I guess its better than having a paper weight.

Well since its already a paperweight ATM. I got some tools to open the phone. Should I at least try to see if something went wrong? Like battery or anything ?

If you're saying that you want to open your N5 as in literally open it, you're wasting your time. Accept the fact that you have to full wipe through fastboot and when it does open, use Dropbox or any other app that saves your pictures/contacts/apps when you sync it so when you have this problem again, wiping won't be an issue. I can't even begin to fathom why you would literally open the phone when clearly it's a software issue.
EDIT: or find the person who sold it to you and demand a replacement IF it has a one year warranty though that's more of a hassle.

Uhh... OP flashed custom firmware on it so how is it the seller's fault? Even if it was on warranty, OP voided it when he flashed the custom ROM. This is a risk that everyone on XDA is or should be aware of.
@ImHereToSaveTheDay- If you can get into the bootloader or recovery you can likely save the phone. Try flashing the factory image. If you can't get into the bootloader you might need to have the phone JTAG'd. When you connect it to your computer what pops up under device manager? If it comes up as QHSUSB_DLOAD then it's hard bricked and needs to be JTAG'd.

software wont brick the phone, especially software thats made for the nexus 5. and google will still replace a phone if its the hardwares issue, even if you are rooted running custom software. that risk that you say everyone should be aware of doesnt really exist if its the hardwares issue. and if its software, it can always be fixed.

That's not entirely true. My One X had to be JTAG'd because of software. Granted it was different circumstances than this, but it certainly wasn't a hardware fault.
If it is a hardware issue then yes, it will still be covered by warranty, but running any type of custom firmware does come with a risk, Nexus phone or not. As it stands, OP doesn't know what the problem is, so calling the seller and demanding a replacement isn't quite appropriate. That's all I was really commenting on.

After playing around with it and all something even weirder happened. My phone started vibrating. The screen is completely off but the calls still go through now. Its weird to me because I can actually answer the calls with the phone's screen completely off as well as hear them. Does this mean... The phone boots up and everything. Just won't show anything on screen. Is this like a digitizer or something related type of problem now that I'm facing ?
Also I've managed to reach the guy. He told me he would have a look at it if its still not fixed by Wednesday.

Blocked By FRP Cannot Restore Using Odin

OK ready for the story?
I have a Note 5 just being used to game since I upgraded to the S7 Edge, damn locked bootloader. I wanted to sell the Note 5 since cash is tight and I figured I can take the family out to eat a nice dinner and put the rest in the bank.
BOOM!!! Device is sold on Offer Up!
They want to meet at T-Mobile so they can active blah blah blah. They want to make sure everything is cool with the device. I get it. So I meet them there, show them the phone is nice and clean no scratches, I take care of my phones people, love it give me the money BAM off I go happy to have money sad to see her go. C'mon she didnt have a locked bootloader, grrrrr S7E, damn u Sammy!!!
Anyways
I AM AT THE MOFO BANK LINE
Ring Ring Ring
"Um hello?"
"Yeah, the T-Mobile guy did a factory reset and now its saying that it's blocked by some custom Binary FRP or something like that"
(My Mind and Thoughts) ==> "ARE YOU F---- KIDDING ME?!?!? THE T-MOBILE DID NOT! NO WAY!"
Yes it was rooted with a custom ROM. I decided instead of unrooting let me just slap on a stock rooted rom and wipe and off it goes. Maybe they will notice and enjoy or maybe they wont. Oh and I left TWRP just in case.
This guy decides to go to the settings and uncheck OEM unlock.
WHY THE BLEEP WOULD MAKE HIM DO THIS? WHY IS HE SUCK A PRRRRRRIIIICCCCCCCCKKKKKK!

Now the Binary and System were both showing custom before trying ODIN
Now the Binary Shows Official Sammy but the System is still showing custom.
Recovery is gone. Only download mode works and when I do try to boot it tells me that blue message with Samsung Smart switch emergency blah to get to live etc....
Can anyone help me with this please.
Oh they were here for 3 more hours, I felt bad, gave them the money back, they still want it and want me to call them or text them 2morow if I get it back up.
AHHHHH so frustrated.
Thank you for reading my rant and plead for help.

Try to remember the firmware you had on it originally. That's the way I was able to get into mine. I had to download 3 or 4 official firmware's to get it. Good luck ?
---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------
Sorry for quoting you. I didn't realize it until I hit submit

Ok I was able to get it back up and running but not quite like I wanted it to be.
Here is what I did. I flashed the Engineering Bootloader and then I was able to wipe and get back into the device,
I did have to use a box called Z3x that I have owned for a while. Google the use of the box for more information.
I used it to remove the FRP and bypass the activation screen. But the issue is that I still cannot load any stock firmware on to the device.
It fails with every software I have tried. The other weird part is the Modem and Baseband are two completely different viersions.
I am attaching the image of what my current system looks like.

In case anyone needs the N920T Engineering Bootloader here it is on my drive:

roketteere--I am in the same boat. Was running stock 7.0 Nougat with TWRP. Accidentally/stupidly disabled "developer mode" and that locked my device ...
Did you ever get a ROM to work?
