Hello! I need help! I recently bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy 5 SM-G900H (kitkat) and when I did the four-digit screen lock password, I entered it wrong and have locked myself out of my phone. My phones network is StraightTalk, who were no help. I have already gone thru Goggle Android Device Manager, but since my Location was turned off it could not help me. The message it gave me was this:SM-G900H

Your device's location access is turned off.
What can I do now? I had looked up the Android SDK however I did not have the usb debugging turned on..........:crying:

Hi guys, I have a samsung gt i9300 international bought it last week with android 4.1.1 stock. I upgraded it to 4.3 and then suddenly it could not perform any gsm related action like calling, texting internet etc with a NOT CONNECTED ON NETWORK error message.
I did my homework and found out that
1. the imei beneath the battery is different from the one inside the phone via #*06#
2. I have a generic imei with 00449 etc....
3. I did not backed up the efs folder and ever since I paniced and changed like 10 roms without succeeding.
4. I found out that the solution is to recover my imei
Now I have tried many ways to recover but failed. Is there a way somebody may suggest may be I have not used that one?
Thanks for your time guys I appreciate.

I assume that you have already tried this method: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
If not, please do so.
If it doesn't help, check this thread: Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Generic IMEI 0049990106400 / 01.
It's about the same issue and has some useful answers.
If nothing helps, please ask the question in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread.
Best place to get quick help for your device IMO.
Thread closed and thank you.
Hi.
I have a SM-G900F Galaxy s5 which is not detecting the SIM card right now.
The mishapen occurred when I cleared the cache of my phone's NFC which was set to SIM card sharing (I can't recall doing anything else).
I have tried factory resetting and it doesn't work.
My phone is not rooted and runs an official 5.0 ROM from Samsung, with the recent 2nd firmware update from Samsung.
Someone please help..!

I recently bought a galaxy s6 and i tried to see if i have new software updates but when i wanted to check i got this message: "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorised way.Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your pc or visit a customer service centre".
I also have preinstalled an app called supersu , which i discovered it is for rooting or smth like that. So i looked up and now i know that the System status is Custom instead of Official. Does that mean that my s6 came rooted from the factory. Can i unroot it and still have my waranty? Please help .

In regards to your question, yes, it appears your device is rooted. However, I doubt it came from the factory in this state. I would suspect that it is refurbished or is second hand.

Hi, I was trying to root Samsung S3 mini (GT-I8190) and install a rom with higher android version than the official because the official one is getting incompatible with apps and so on.
I rooted it and while I was going to install TWRP recovery, I got the error that said to me that bootloader was locked, so I tryed to unlock it using EZ unlock. When I unlocked it, it runs out of power and accidentally turned off.
The problem is that now it doesn't turn on (doesn't boot), doesn't show any signal of life and of course, is not detected by my computer, so it's bricked now. Also, it doesn't show any sign of life while trying to charge an all.
What can I do?
How can I turn on my phone again?
Thanks
PS: It's out of warranty, of course, so technical support by Samsung it's not a viable option to me.
