Hello all,
If any of you pros can help me out with this I'll be eternally grateful.
So, I rooted my galaxy S2 with the guide on here and after superoneclick it just switched off. I booted it up and it just loops forever, yellow triangle then my provider (LGU+ Korea).
I can reboot into download mode and re-flash with XWKDD_insecure.tar. This starts the phone and I can access main features but it says rooted and I can't make any calls or 3g access.
As soon as countdown is up and screen locks (or I press lock) then the phone is bricked again and I have to re-flash just to get to that screen. So, I re-flashed and then ran the superoneclick program. Clicking unroot this time. It seemed to work and now I can get WIFI but no calls.
However, as soon as the screen is locked it is due a flash. Also, it's impossible to charge.
I'm new to this as you can tell but the guide is simple and I followed it step-by-step. I've read elsewhere on here that I can unroot this with a custom ROM? Where can I find these on the site?
Also, will they be applicable for me in Korea?
Basically I need to undo what I've done and get the phone reactivated. Please can somebody give me some advice and the download location of these ROMS that so I can get the phone reactivated.
Thanks in advance. Really stressing out here. It's on a rather expensive 2-year contract!
I started playing around with a stock S3 today and am now getting the "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone." error. All I can get into is Odin and all the instructions I've found for unlocking the bootloader involve Clockwork Recovery (which I have/had installed but can no longer get to).
Any help getting this thing working again would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Probably have to go back to stock via odin flash and reunlock and reroot. That's my best guess.

I have a rooted android device samsung galaxy s3 and it was running fine and everything till one day it said to install an update. i accepted it and while it was updating all of a sudden it went to that black screen and says, " system software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off you phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." Then thats where i couldn't do anyting with my phone but go to download/ODIN MODE and rebooting system thing where you can reboot system. IM very new and i don't know much about rooting and the meanings of a lot of words like unlock bootloader. If i go to ODIN MODE it says
ODINE MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV:1
i think this doesn't look good. WHat should i do to make my phone be working again and not showing that black screen.
I already wiped all data and tried to do that StockROm thing on my computer ODIN and still nothing.
Is my bootloader locked? if so do i need to unlock it to make my phone work again? Thanks so much for your time
Same with mine I think it's called a bricked phone and think there is nothing we can do about it, hopefully someone has a solution
Might Work?

I dunno if this will work for you. But I had the same message and when I booted in Download mode I just hit Cancel then rebooted and it worked?
If you flashed cyanogenmod, that means you're bootloader is unlocked, which is a good thing.
Can you get into CWM or TWRP? I don't have a samsung so i don't know about ODIN (i presume it's like flashtools for Xperia).
For as long as your phone vibrates (or does pretty much anything when you boot it up) your phone is not hardbricked, which is also good .
Try getting into CWM, shut down your phone completely, wait 5 seconds, then do: Volume Down + Home + Power key . This will get you into bootloader state and try reflashing your old backup, a stock rom or cyanogenmod.
First time with these softbricks is always the most fun ^^. Been there done that, i thought i spend 250 euro's on a phone that was broken .
Btw. Always make a backup for these kind of situations.

You took the 4.3 update. You must now Odin to stock 4.3 to unbrick, do not Odin to any other (previous) version. There is a safe root method.
I do not think there is custom recovery and bootloader is now permalocked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270191 has a link to the odin file and the root method in post 2 or 3 i believe.
Ok how do i get it?

I just recently ODIN flashed the latest 4.3 stock firmware for my TMO GS3 and then attempted to roll back to 4.1.2. It didn't brick my device, but it didn't work either. I would simply fail to install. I was able to reflash, through ODIN, the 4.3 stock firmware (actually used the root66 version). Then I was able to ODIN flash CWM recovery and install Dandroid 5.1, which is also a 4.3 based ROM. All is well now. I guess I simply can't go back to any previous 4.3 ROMs now, and I'm not sure about any AOSP ROMs. I may give a try at some point to see.
Good afternoon all if anyone could please help I'd greatly appreciate it!
So I just bought a Sprint Galaxy S5 from ebay with the assumption that with some customizing I'd be able to get the phone domestically unlocked. I got the phone and it was already updated to 5.0 Lollipop so I followed this tutorial to get the SSU.apk to actually work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...locking-sprint-galaxy-s5-g900p-t3085624/page2
After a lot of time I was successful at rooting the phone and was able to downgrade to 4.4.4 but the tutorial calls for 4.4.2 but it seems that 4.4.4 was the only fw that would successfully install.
But now here's the problem I was able to obtain the domestic unlock code through Sprint but now the activation/update app doesn't work and doesn't open automatically the way that the reps said it would,. I've tried to reset stock through Kies but Kies doesn't recognize the phone. I've also tried to use Odin through out this process not only to reset back to stock but also downgrade the fw and the modem. The really annoying part is that small PDA/AP updates and installs work fine but when I try to Odin the original tars it always fails 100% getting a "sw rev check fail aboot fused 2 binary 1 " error on my phone.
I really don't know what to do at this point, and it seems the error is associated with a soft brick but the device still powers on and boots.
I thought this would be a pretty straight forward process but I've hit the wall and am losing my mind, I need help!
P.s. I flashed 4.4.4 fw with CWM and the device is still rooted
Thanks
So i think i have completely ****ed up, hopefully you guys can give me some insight
I was on the process of properly rooting a samsung s7 that i got since the root checker said that it was not properly root.
i decide to fallow this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ot-guide-verizon-s7-s7-edge-sm-g930v-t3411015
But i after flashing the ENG using Odin
the phone just keep restarting, over and over, it also does the samething in recovery mode.
Notes:
The phone was displaying Custom unlock login screen (Before Flash)
Also it was 6.0.1 update
and I got the the 7.0 update, to flash the ENG
If there is anything you guys can advice, ill appreciate.
If it can go in downloading mode you can flash stock firmware and try rooting again.
