[Q] Things to check before bringing phone in?

So I need to bring my phone in to a verizon store because I am having the SIM card issue that a lot of people are getting. What are some things I should check so they don't know I rooted/unlocked at one point in time?
I used odin and to bring me back to stock bloated. I did a factory reset. I am not rooted.
When I go into download mode, it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
I think that means my flash counter is at 0?
Is there anything else that I should confirm before I bring it in to the techs?

You're good. The reps at Verizon wont know what to check anyways. The only way you will get caught messing with flashing is if you send it back to Samsung.

Yes your flash count is zero. Don't forget to take the naked pics of your GF off your phone either :silly:

[q] samsung galaxy s3 root accidentyl updated help

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)

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.

[Q] I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S3 and I need it UNBRICKED

Guys (this is a verizon phone), I messed with a rom and it failed to install so I went on with my day and my phone died so when I turned it back on it popped up with the yellow triangle error saying to take it to the nearest verizon wireless store, I know there is a bunch of threads about this but I have looked at over 20 threads and NONE of them work. I really need help. I'm about to go insane just trying to figure this out. Please help guys, my device is JellyBean 4.3, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. In ODIN mode my information is: PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535, CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts), CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official, SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM, QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE, Warranty Bit:1, BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 1
Please help me with this...

[Q] JOidn not detecting device. Help

Hey there guys.
Long time creeper first time post. Plus a while since I have even tried to root or flash custom roms.
I succesfully rooted my verizon I535 Galaxy SIII 4.4.2 but went to flash Liquid smooth (which i know now i wasnt supposed to) onto it and got:
system software not authorized by verizon has been found blah blah blah. but i can still get into download mode. but not recovery mode. In download mode it reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER AP SWERV: 2
I got the files i need from [GUIDE Win/Linux/Mac] Debrick 4.3 with Odin or Verizon Utility + PIT [SOFT BRICK] thread.
Im on Mac and got JOdin working and followed every step to the T. In my termal window it says device detected but in JOdin it still has the red "Disconnected" and in message window it reads <ID:0/008> Added!! Device Not Detected.
any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

anyone?
No one has any ideas? Im really at my wits end here. :crying:
Help me all mighty Droid Gurus, You are my only hope!

Not too many ppl have MAC, you should try to find a PC and see if it works.

Using mobile XDA, and entered question in wrong thread... sorry!

JOdin doesn't work with 4.4.2. Personal experience. Only 4.3 or lower. You need to get a PC. It is required to use Odin on 4.4.2 like that.

Bricked S6

Needing some help before i take my 2 day old S6 back to the shop with my tail between my legs!!
i have an unlocked SM-G920F bought from o2, and was trying to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-tyrannus-rom-v1-0-31-07-2015-t3169760 . i've been flashing custom roms for as long as i can remember, and all the usual procedures were followed. all usb drivers are installed/updated etc. tried different ports/cables/odin versions
the problem basically started as soon as i tried flashing the bootloader and modem, odin came up with a pass, but when my phone restarted it showsSYSTEM REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1
now, i can't get into recovery mode at all. i then tried flashing these stock roms (except the 5.0.2) from sam mobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920F/O2U/ using odin, but they all fail at NAND Write. i then also tried the emergency recovery option using smart switch, which also fails.
so now, all i can really do is boot into download mode and nothing else, odin recognises my phone, but doesnt write anything to it.
when im in download mode i get this display:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SM-G920F
Current Binary: Samsung Official

Reactivation Lock: OFF
