Dear forum members,
I am in Oman and have a galaxy s2 GT-19100. I tried to set it to factory reset because i would like to give this phone to another person. But after reset when i tried to reboot phone it is not booting only displaying "SUMSUNG" on the screen. I done this factory reset many times but the result was same. What i would like is to upgrade my phone with latest version of android (kitkat or lollypop) in my phone. I would like to do it myself without giving it to any shop. From where i will get the latest version and how can i do upgrading. When i switch on my phone it still display the "samsung" in blank screen and also i can switch off it by removing the battery only. Please advise. I am using window 8 in my pc

Hello,
I've a wifi problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). I had CM11 on my phone, but I don't like it anymore so I wanted to uninstall it. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477&page=346. I've installed the official stock firmware ''Latest lollipop 5.0.1'' with Odin3 v3.10 from the 2nd post in that topic.
The installation went fine. After the installation the only thing is that my wifi won't turn on. When I push the button, the wifi turns on, but directly after that it turns off (in 1 s). I've tried it many times, I've done a factory reset, wiped the cache etc. but still it won't work.
I followed the guide properly.
What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Please reinstall stock firmware and see that you are flashing right Stock Firmware available for your region Factory Rest after flash

Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.
Yesterday I Installed android 5.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S II with help of a tutorial video( The ROM I installed CM 12.1 Android 5.1.1) it all worked fine downloaded some apps like Pokemon go and it still worked fine until a update of cyanogenmod came up so I installed it restarted the phone, then the wifi connection started to do weird so I went to updates to see if there was an other update which I might have missed. There was one so I clicked it downloaded the update then I saw it was an old update. When the update rebooted the phone it didn't wanted to start. I think I downloaded an old update over a new update. I coulnd't get past the samsung logo cuz the screen would turn black . So I readed that I should reflash stock firmware via Odin which I did but now my phone keeps stuck at the samsung logo.
When I started the phone I did get the start screen
Samsung Galaxy S II
GT-I9100
then the samsung logo pops up
the intro music plays and that's it then it keeps repeating this steps all the time
also the recovery mode button combination doesn't seem to work so I cant get in recovery mode.
When I try to charge the phone
the screen stucks on the battery loading image
Hopefully someone has any ideas how to fix this problem and get my phone on and working again.

Hey guys,
My perents bought me galaxy s7 SM-G930FD dual sim from an original samsung store in HONG KONG, after one mounth of using the devies, over night the galaxy made an update and after it he was gone. a lot of necessary app crashing when the galaxy is turning on, it doing a lot off resets by itself, some times going directly to recovery mode by itself.
I try to pluged it to SMAT SWITCH and to do a hard restore but when it try to install the restore, on the blur screeen of android he wrote *erasing....* when it reach 33% and then he stoped making any restore.
its a new phone and nothing happend to it before the update.
- I try flashing with ODIN to the latiest firmware from samobile= same erasing process.
- I try many thing= same erasing process.
- If the phone make it and start, a lot of windows poping with "unfortantly..google store stop" or different app crashing when the phone start until it reset itself.
right now : after hard restore from SMART SWITCH on G930FXXU1BPKF.
please please dear people, help me!!
thanks to all!!!

Greetings and welcome to xda. If Odin and emergency firmware recovery in smartswitch don't work then I am out of ideas. I do know it is possible to change the firmware on your device, there is a thread on it in the s7 forums. Why not ask your question here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help
and the experts will help you
Good Luck
