Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can assist me. I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 that was flashed to Boost and is rooted. Had someone helping me when updates came up but he recently notified me that he would no longer be doing it and left me in a big bind and now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps telling me there is an update. When there was an update available, he would email me the files and then walk me through the procudure over the phone. I was prettty good at following his instructions (I do remember going to a special screen and wiping data, etc before installing the update) but now that I am on my own I don't even know where to start to get the updates. Not even sure what information I can share about my phone or if there are even different types of updates that would work for my phone. I do remember the term ODIN if that is at all helpful.
Is there anyone that can provide me with assistance? I would greatly appreciate it. If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks.

First let me thank anyone that can point me in the right direction in fixing my phone. Here is the problem, first somebody tried to root the phone however they pretty much bricked it. I now have a Sprint Samsung Note 2., It boots up and gives you all these choices on what to remove and modify. If you try to access any of the buttons NOTHING happens. So what I think I have to do is 1) ROOT THE PHONE, 2) INSTALL A ROM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, AND 3) TAKE IT TO BE SWITCHED OVER TO MY EXISTING BOOST ACCOUNT. How you masters of the cellular world are able to figure this stuff out has me in awe. This newbie would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT you guys are my only hope of getting this phone to work.
Thank you in advance,
A confused Newbie......

look around there. I did a quick look and didn't see any un-bricking posts, but I'm sure some one there can help you figure it out.
Hi guys a new user here and need assistance with one issue that i am facing with a month old google nexus 5. The phone came out of the box with 4.4.2 version of android and after i upgraded using OTA to 4.4.4 i've noticed that after the call disconnects the network bar goes zero for 5 sec and then come back to full strength which was not there before the OTA.
I've read some forums about this and came to know that i am not alone and similar issue have been reported by many users. I thought this issue might be addressed recent lollipop update however issue still remains. Ill be honest with you guys since the phone is new i am not willing to take risk of flashing as i am new to it. I would appereciate if someone can assist me with scratch how to get this sorted
Thanks in advance!!

Welp, I would recommend you try various radios but since you have an aversion to flashing I don't know what to tell you. This "risk" you speak of is pretty much nonexistent with the N5 as it's damn near impossible to brick. I mean, the N5 was pretty much built for flashing so if I were you I'd at least dip your toes in the water. You're in the right place, there are a ton of guides to follow and friendly folk willing to help. Just gotta put a little effort in.

Thanks so ill give it a try for sure and its like i would need the guide from scratch as i am a neewbie onto this. So i am from India so which radio should i go for and is there any infomation that you may need to assist with me with which perticular radio will work in my region please do let me know.
The phone doesn't drop any signal while i am talking over the phone and its not that frequent as well. However whenever i notice this it annoys me a lot so ill prefer getting rid of that. This phone that i got is after 7 RMA to the website which i bought from and finally this was the device that came with like no issue with the display as in stuck or dead pixels like others.
Please suggest me something and i am ready to move forward on this

Like I said man, there are a ton of guides, just do some searching and lots of reading. People here like to help others who first try to help themselves, and I am the same way. That said, I'm not gonna hold your hand and walk you through it, but if you figure out what you need to do and hit a bump in the road, ask away and I'll have no problem helping out. The best way to learn something is to figure it out yourself, and that's the honest truth.

Sure thing, ill post in here with all the info found on the forums for this and accordingly will request you for suggestion if that is going to work for me or not. Thanks for atleast guiding from where i would need to proceed from.
Hey.now I have issue with downloading the paid upgrade to anysong (again). I had the full version for quite some time and lived it.but since then had to restore my Samsung S3, after my kids put On something which made the bigger mb users like camera and malificent down fall made my phone restart
. Now seeing as I had to restore just the handset,I couldn't remember any passwords so now I cannot get the upgrade, all I get now is a black screen. I hope you can help me out because I've lost faith in the makers, who have chosen to ignore my plea for help. I have just assumed that they've made there millions and now are enjoying retirement. So again I ask for your help and maybe point me in some direction so thanks in advance, and thank you for your time.
Cheers from NZ.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I'm afraid I can't find any thing on an app called anysong on XDA.
I recommend you reach out to the app developer/provider directly.
They usually provide and email for direct contact.
I have found a lot of software but I receive warnings when i tried to download them, names of software in chinese, removed fils etc so I am a bit doubtful and afraid of downloading something that will harm my computer or cell phone. Please advice me what to do!

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Which device do you own?

v7
XDA Assist
Unlock telephone
Thanks for your prompt answer. I actually did not expect to receive any answer at all! I have a Samsung GT-S3501 and somehow I have now managed to root it. I am new to this forum and I have never tried to manipulate any celh pone before. I have a background as a programmer though so I wanted to see if there is any possibility to unlock my old cell phone. It is a simple, cheap model so paying for it is not an option. The question is whether it is worth keeping at all. I used the UnlockClient to unlock it but the processing stopped after telling me that the root access worked. I have not understood whether I need to pay anything in order to make it finish but I guess this is out of your area though. (unlockclient.co/) Please for your help anyway. I have also used, the one by you described, ADB shell technique and I get access but the BML5 file is not found, maybe because my model is so simple since it doesn´t even have an SD-card. I was surprised myself since i thought it had. An older similar telehone I have do have one. I wonder if there is a way to display the telephons directory after having got SU access. Do you know this? Then I might see if there is a BML5 or not and which path it has. I am new to this so you might think I am stupid a puts strange questions but I am curious and persistant and I want to learn something, especially now when I have already spent too much time when my first intntion only was to save some money. But then it caught my interest and i did not want to give up. :silly: :fingers-crossed:
So, I need a new phone I know... Unfortunately I'm not currently able to do that and need to figure out what's wrong with mine. I bought it used and it has major issues but I have internet access and would love to learn about coding, progamming, anonymity and the works. Since Google don't help specificly can anybody give me a few tips? I have common since and would really like to learn. Please help and thank you.
Write specifically and exactly what is happening and in what model.
Idk where to start... What isn't happening you mean. I need to somehow figure out if it has corrupted files or something. It's bad and won't do nothing
