[Completed] S4 UPDATE , FLASHING AND UNLOCKING ISSUES- read me.

Hi, good day and thank you for reading.
I'm stressed out. I need any help I can get, what's happening is that I bought two phones in attempt to refurbish it and it came with errors. Whenever I try to update it I get " Status 7 ; installation aborted ) along with many other stuff. Additionally, the device I bought was supposed to be unlocked but guess what. It isn't . ( also not sure if rooted but i assume its not )Please help in anyway possible.
I'm not a phone tech but I know my way around. It's two devices, both from sprint.
Device 1: SPRINT sph l720 )- this is unlocked. Only need to probably flash my device and put lollipop on it. It's currently 4.4.2 kit kat but when I download and go through with the update, status 7 installation aborted. This brings me to my next issue. My baseband number is different from the lollipop rom that I'm finding online. Should this be an issu? baseband number- L720VPUAMDC.(will flashing make the phone locked to sprint again?)
Device 2: SPRINT sph l720T.(Baseband : l720TVPUBOA3)- This is locked and won't update. Same error as mentioned above. (Sprint spark)
It would be nice if someone could carry me through the steps I'd need to fix this (flashing to lollipop and unlock or any other method to be honest. I'd just like to overcome this issue as soon as possible to sell these devices)
And thank you thank you thank you in advance for the assistance. I really needed it.

Help: FreeTel Samurai Kiwami FTU152D

Greetings for all xda members,
I need your generous support regarding my Freetel Kiwami FTU152D.
It was working well on android 5.1 but i made a blunder by flashing a custom android 6.0 rom from needrom.com made for FTJ152D. I supposed that the FTU152D is having same hardware as FTJ152D , and its just and american version of the Japanese model.
But unfortunately things went wrong and i phine lost the IMEI after flashing.
Steps done to restore/Write IMEI:
1: Engineering mode:
CDS information is not available in engineering mode, tired to install CDS but failed.
2:Maui Meta Mode:
Phone reboots and doesnt enter inter meta mode.
3: SN Writing tool:
Phone simply reboots and fails to write the IMEI.
4:Rooting
almost all android and PC rooting apps(Kingo,King,Farmaroot, Root Genious etc.) failed to root the device.
please guide me how to get the IMEI working on android 6 or how can i got back to stock android 5 rom, haven't find and stock rom yet.
looking forward to experts opinion.
thanks.

Oneplus 8T Device Corrupted

Hi everyone
I have a Oneplus 8t. Today morning when I woke up and opened my phone. It showed "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot. visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH ".
I didn't try to install any kind of custom ROM and didn't download any apps directly from google.
I have really important documents on my phone and don't want to lose them.
When I opened fastboot, I got the following message
Product name: kona
variant: sm8 ufs
bootloader version:
baseband version:
serial number: 4274859a
secure boot: yes
device state: Locked
Please tell me how to proceed.
Kindly help.

Wow this is weird one . so no recovery , custom kernel or roms or anything ha ?
and your bootloader is locked . how this happend is a mystery to me but i think you'll be able to
fix it with MSM tool and the unbrick guide which is availabe in the forums.

the phone switched back on its own after 1 day but now it keeps on switching off for no reason and sometimes it takes a day or two to switch back on
