Hello peoples,
Title says it all really. Bought a used phone, apparently the seller stopped paying the equipment contract at Tmobile after or shortly before they sold it to me. After 30 days of me using it with no problems, it suddenly couldn't get a signal at all, and the tmobile store said it was "locked for nonpayment" from the original owner. They apologized, said they cant remove the lock, and gave me a loaner phone to use for 2 weeks while I figure out getting a new phone.
I have seen ebay sellers who offer to remove a phone from the blacklist, but they want you to DL software on your pc and allow remote access etc. All stuff i wouldn't do in a million years.
If there is any way to fix this problem so I can actually use my expensive phone, please reply here or send me a message. thanks for any and all help.
(The phone is a Tmobile Galaxy S5, running cyanogenmod 12.1 but can be flashed back to stock to fix this problem if possible).

I cannot understand what the hell is happening to my Galaxy III. I bought it about 3 months ago and there is no problem until now.
Two days ago, suddenly the phone became frozen. I turned it off and could not start up again.
I almost got crazy with this issue.
This phone I bought from my friend, who brought it to me from USA. Quite new, in box ! Of course !
Now no where in my country accept to do A/S for this phone. And I am afraid that I have to spend much money to repair this new phone and it can be scratched during fixing.
Actually, I also do not know where I can have it fixed.
Getting around on the internet, I came here to ask for your advices, Galaxy III experts. Please help me !
I knew that someone already experienced this issue with Galaxy II, and it was so bad that he just could sell that dead phone with very cheap price.
I really regret not buying an HTC One X when I saw it. That time I was very confused between choosing a cheaper one (HTC) and the more fashionable one (Galaxy III). But my ****ing friend persuaded me to buy Galaxy III from his shop in USA. And now, that ****ing guy disappeared. I cannot contact him. Is it possible he cheated me with something fake ?
Can you explain what happens when you try to turn on your phone? Does the screen come on? Bootscreen?
I read an article about gs3 dying randomly, and samsung replacing even rooted ones no questions asked when this happens. Maybe this something else?

Hi there, ive been having problems with my three network and with data, my current tariff is unlimited data, i usually get around 5mbs at home but as of last night i only get .02mbs, ive phoned three up and i followed some steps without fixing the problem, the women said there was nothing wrong with my mast, she then transferred me to lvl2 technical support, he ran through the same steps and then said there was a problem with the mast and that technicians are working on a problem and that it will be fixed exactly 1 month later (13/06/2015). weird why did the previous tech see that??? he explained a bit but i changed the subject a bit but he then told me that he's going to get lvl 3 techs to look into the problem (weird again i thought it was the mast?) what can techs do about physical works on the equipment, anyway my question is, is there anyway to see faults with my local masts with the three network, im unable to find any on there website, or is there something on my phone i could try fix the problem? any help will be great thanks!
sorry if ive posted in the wrong place
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't know. The only thing I can suggest is to check in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4
Thread closed.
I posted this on the Sprint S6 forum, but thought it may be able to get more attention here. My father smashed his phone. I was wondering if anyone new of a company that can retrieve pictures with a Riff Box or similar without the phone booting.
Thanks.
Hi,
It seems that you already found the best place on XDA to post your question.
Please continue your journey there
Good luck!

Hello,
Well we can't help without having the device and also you need to be more specific about what stuff changed?

Hi people, I'm Mike from Argentina, this is my very first post, so I need help. I'm sorry if I disturb you with this, but I can not find any answer to this. Well, this is it...
1 month ago, I installed a mokee rom (one of the latest ones. That has android 7.1.2 Nougat) that I liked a lot. So, the problem came 3 o 4 days ago, 7 days top. And it is that my device started to act strange, in the matter that it does not receive signal from my provider (movistar), So, this problem hapenned after I proved a VPN service called Psiphon pro (I don't know if any of you have experienced it.) so the day after I used this VPN provider, my phone has no bars, and it says "sin servicio" ("no service", I think is the better translation). Well, I have tried every way that the web says, I tried another modem file (flashed with it), saw if the IMEI is consistant between the printed number inside the phone and what says the information of the rom (it does), I have seen the carrier is recognized by the phone, modified APN, and finally Im trying to install the STock ROM of my phone So, I need to know if the problem is my phone or is the VPN..... I don't Know if there's another stuff that I haven't tried yet. If there's another thing or if you recomend me another ROM that I could try and it has no problems with the carrier I will be gratefull.
Thanks for reading, and essentially for your answers, help and time.
So sorry for my english, if there's something that I haven't explained well, I'll be connected pretty much wainting for a solution or your questions.
Thanks a lot.
