hi guys, so today I was Trying to download a new rom for my phone which is Samsung s3 SPH l710 T and I was thinking I was searching online if I had to unlock my bootloader and so at the end of all that I ended up not downloading the ROM. but as for the bootloader I used ez bootloader unlocker something like that and so I unlocked the bootloader but then I reLocked it again. and after that I powered off my phone only to find that when I powered it on again it wouldn't start ! so I searched online and then I figured out that most people say that if you unlock it the bootloader that it would go into a brick a Hard brick Or soft brick I don't know which one but whenever I try to turn on my phone at all.it's not doing anything no signs of life at all on the phone. I tried it all the key combinations for factory reset, download more, all that. but nothing happened. so my question is on my phone would it work if I bought a jig whatever its called and try to force it into download mode? or if I just took it into Samsung service repair and play dumb and say that I don't know why its not turning on all that. so what should I do and if I send it to Samsung repair would they like to try to figure out if he was rooted or not. oh I also just before I turned it off and never turn it back on again I also unrooted it with superuser the one the permanent unroot with one tap thingy. so it should be Unrooted. but I don't know like what I should do if I should use the jig or if I should send it to Samsung repair or what to do! anybody have any ideas please comment please help me cuz I really want to fix this phone. and I'm sorry for the bad grammar and all that cuz I was using Google Voice. so please try to help me Thanks.

I recently bought this phone from the previous owner and the new lollipop update just came out for HTC Unlocked and developer versions. I was going to install it but I got the bootloader instead.
I have no idea how this was installed in the first place, and I don't know what to do. So can anyone help me?
Are you saying you tried to install it and after flashing it the device would only boot into bootloader mode?
If so there are several reasons that this could happen. ie: s-on.

Hi to all,
I have new question for all of you:
My Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos was a factory unlocked phone,but after rooting and unrooting it and doing a factory reset to it,there is no longer that "phrase" : " The phone is unlocked for all networks" in the information for the phone which is viewable in "About device".
So I am wondering if I should unlock the phone again.Should I?Or it is unlocked again?
I spent a lot of time for searching for a FREE TOOL which could help me to unlock the phone for of the networks again,but I couldn't find such a thing.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards!
p.s By the way,I would like to apologize for my bad English,and for making all the gramatical mistakes in ALL OF MY THREADS!!!

sorry, i really dont know the answer to your question, but, if the phone still works with your sim, i wouldnt worry about weather the network is unlocked or not.
hi noob here
I have a m9 on voda uk, it was a second hand purchase, I was doing a update when prompted through the phone and it froze half way through, I restarted the phone and all it did was boot into boot loader and download mode, i took it to a local phone shop who managed to put a rom on it, this rom would not update, so before I started to mess around i rooted the phone, unlocked it and applied sunshine so it now has S-Off, the problem is i cannot get a rom to install, help please.

I have a Samsung J320V or J36V which is on the Verizon network. I really want to root it to unlock the full potential of my phone and I understand it will void my warranty but I'll go ahead and do it anyway. When I follow the steps to root I get stuck at the Odin part which I have to click start and the TWRP file installs on my phone. But it fails and I get this message on my phone "SECURE BOOT FAIL RECOVERY"! I've looked everywhere for a solution but none of them work and I also enabled USB DEBUGGING and OEM UNLOCK. I also couldn't disable REACTIVATION LOCK because the feature is not on my phone and I also removed my Google account and Samsung account. If anyone could help you would be the real MVP and I would really really really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! Even if you saw my post and can't help still thank you for taking time out of YOUR day and looking at my problem!

i was using my phone(its never rooted or try to experiment something its just a original factory setted piece) and suddenly my moto g2 gets switched off and when I try to switch it on a black color screen came with just a message saying "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)"
Please help me with this
I have tried to unlock the bootloader I got the unlock code from motorola and when iam using the next query "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxx......." then error comes invalid unlock data
please help me in making my phone normal with back to stock rom
Thats a lot, sometimes the most easiest answer is just return the phone to carrier if under Warrenty. If not under Warrenty get another phone, sometimes we might not be able to buy new phone .
Then comes the headache of solving the question ??if rooted, easy install new ROM that works with your phone.
If not rooted then no Warrenty then root device, find other users that have rooted your device. I know I always find the most complicated answer to the simplest question by posting and asking other users. I wish you luck in finding your answer dont forget to share your answer and experience .
