My S4 was origionally rooted and flashed by a guy that will no longer answer my texts or calls. He used DFS CDMA Tool and it has Hyperdrive OS. It crashed on me after downloading a local radion stations app to listen to the music on the 4th of July. I finally got on here researching how to fix it myself because I can't afford to have it done right now because I am in FL with my Dad which is undergoing treatment for lung cancer. Needless to say, I really need my phone and my straight talk phone goes off tomorrow. I have managed to get it off of the android guy screen that said downloading target do not turn off... by holding volume down, home, and power at the same time. Now I have the phone back up and going... but it still is having some issues with different apps having error messages, saying stopped working or whatnot. Also, when I dial *611 it will not let me reactivate the phone, maybe the number has been reassigned? I don't know. But I need help. Can someone please lead me through this. I am a single Mom, and I need my phone badly.
Hi,
Here is a dedicated help thread in your device section,
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 > Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly
Unfortunately there's no quick fixes usually... Usually you'll be given advice and it's up to you to read read read and then do. I suggest you save your money and learn about this stuff, cause trusting others to do it for you could end poorly. These are expensive devices, and knowledge is power for sure. ?
Hope all goes well all around!

So my power button recently started acting up, it's super sensitive and sometimes it will be stuck and I'll be in a bootloop, or when I shake my phone the button will somehow be ''pressed'' and the phone will go off.
I have an S3.
So my plan was to make volume down my power button and disable the actual power button.
But I can't edit generic.kl, I just need a quick workaround because my t-mobile contract is ending in February, need to survive till then.
Anyone knows why I can't edit generic.kl or does anyone have a different solution?
please help me
Hi,
Personally I would have the button fixed, or it will eventually become an issue trying to do something at some point.
But for other ideas and to have your question answered, you can ask for help in this dedicated help thread for your device,
> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question.
Good luck!
Just have to use it for a couple of more days, had the s3 for almost 2 years and I'll be getting a Nexus 6 soon.
Thanks for your help and I'll post in that thread.
I'm hoping some helpful folks can please point me in the right direction to allow me to unbreak my phone. It's a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5, model #: SM-G900T, running Lollipop 5.1.1. I downloaded the Lollipop 5.1.1 update without an issue. (This was about a week ago. I don't auto-update because I want all the bugs shaken out of any new build, and the various patches put in place.) Oh...Yes, I am based in the US.
A few days later I popped over to the Play Store and downloaded several apps, in particular, the CM Master Cleaner...Which broke my phone while I wasn't looking. Specifically, it deleted com.android.phone.
Now, I have various apps and things, some being rather important, not working anymore. I'm something of a total noob when it comes to phones. But I know enough to realize I am in deep doo-doo right now. If someone could please point me in the right direction so I can try fixing this myself, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Crazed Aussie

Hi there,
I'm really desperate for some help. bit of an odd situation.
In august last year my mum committed suicide, I have recently got her things back and I am trying to access the data on her phone. It is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but the problem I'm having is it has a broken screen, also does not have USB Debugging switched on.
The police claimed they needed all her electricals to check for evidence, which is why they needed to keep it for nearly 4 months, however I dont believe they have in fact even checked the phone.
I really want to be able to access the text messages, so I can see if there was any indication prior to her death.
Please help if you can
Thank you
Milo

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Depending on how badly the screen is broken you might be able to connect a mouse to it via an OTG cable. If that doesn't work the best place to ask this is in > Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, N7105 > Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Experts there may be able to help you.
Good luck
I bought this phone off "off a real nice guy" I told him up front it was for my niece who had recently shattered her Note 3. I have a 5 and couldn't really afford to pay for another. So I bought this Note Edge. Well it was a T Mobile and he said it would work fine with my AT&T Sim? And if I had any problems he'd send me links to put it back to stock? Well would be stock refuse my AT&T Sim also... Either way, here's what's going on. The phone works data, WiFi, calls etc... Idk if all tweaks work? I'm not familiar with this stuff. But after 24hrs. The phone keeps saying it has to restart cuz there is NO Sim. I open it restart and it's fine. But this is annoying every couple hours =( can anyone help me?

So a month and a half ago I found a galaxy s7 in the street, since then I've advertised online and around town and have only got responses from thrives. After waiting long enough I've decided to try unlock it myself as it is blocked by the original owner, I was wondering if there is anyway of resetting it by fast boot commands or any other way ? Please help, shame to let such a good phone go to waste.
