atrix 2 with bug

hello people, am new to forum, my name is Guilherme and I'm from Brazil, I need help with my Atrix 2, i bought him at e-bay, when it arrived here in Brazil, to my surprise, it arrived with a cracked screen. . well, the seller paid me another screen came here, along with a video with instructions, I changed the screen just fine, but when they procure called him, was a terrible performance and a "track" by climbing down the screen until the mid screen, when it came in half, began to descend, then I saw that if I lock and unlock a few times, it was normal, but after a few seconds the screen went out, then I figured it was software problem, tried him with flashing stock rom using rsd lite, but already at the beginning gave fail, now when I call him, he goes into fastboot, connect to normal, I have to hold the volume button and choose normal powerup. please help me.
Sorry for the bad english, I wrote this using the google translator, but please help-me

OMG, you had to return it as soon as you recieved defective phone. Instead that you accepted by replacing new screen yourseft.
You are the hero now !

is because 40 days had already passed the paypal ...

If RSD Lite failed at the beginning then you should be able to boot up normally.
-Power down your phone
-Boot up holding volume up+volume down+power buttons
-You should be presented with a "boot menu." Press Volume Up to select "Normal Powerup"
-If all goes well your phone should boot up normally.
Which fxz did you try to flash with RSD Lite? Here is a list of all the fxz's that have been leaked for the Atrix 2. On your phone, what does Settings -> About Phone -> System Version say? That will let us know which fxz you should flash.
Sorry to hear your troubles

If you had installed before version 2.3.6 Gingerbread should do a modification on file with the fastboot if you don't , you get an error. Read this guide in the section "How to flash a fxz" very carefully. Also when you go to flash the phone make sure that there is no program running behind, such as MotoCast.

Sprint Tab 2 Impossible to Root?

Hi,
I have rooted many phones, including the Tab 10.1 7510, but met my match today in the Tab 2 (SPH-P500 Sprint. 4G) running Android 4.0.4.
Though Odin and Heimdall both push recovery.img to the device, the Tab will absolutely not enter CWM The blue "Recovery Booting" appears but then disappears within a second - regardless of the duration or order of pressing Power and Volume Up. I have tried with and without the SD card installed -- no difference.
Also, it seems impossible to reset the Tab to factory settings. After restarting, a hard reset is the only thing that will bring it back up. When it reboots, all of my settings and apps seem intact.
After days of work with no results, I would appreciate any help! My next step would be to Sprint where I'll hope the tech won't care my Flash Counter is so high.
Baseband version is: P500VPLI6

Build: IMM7D.P500VPALI6
HW version: P500.05
Thank you,
Robert

I have the same problem!

Almost identical problem. Given the popularity of this Sprint Tab 2, the P500.05 is as of yet bulletproof!

I'm not a coder, but I understand that CVE-2013-2094 has been ported to work (escalate to r00t) on Android devices. I don't know if this model has "performance events" turned on but, if so, could this be an opportunity to get # on our tablets?

Any updates or solutions?

This device cannot be rooted.

This device must be impossible to root. Sprint has finally made a device that is root proof.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from sprint
I have the same problem. When i try to do factory reset my device shuts down then blue text that says recovery booting displays briefly in upper left hand corner then completely shuts off. I then have to hold down the power button and volume down button to get to warning screen to install custom OS. It says volume up to continue or volume down to restart. I can hit volume down and my device will restart and everything is exactly the way i left it. I obviously cant do a hard reset because it will not go into recovery mode. I can get to odin mode and i can root my device using kingo android root. (this works great for anyone who needs to root this device) So does anybody have any advice for me at all. How do i get it to factory reset when it will not go into recovery mode?

[Q] 915FY Stuck Not Booting

Hi All,
I have a Note Edge 915FY. Tried to upgrade it to stock 5.0.1 via sammobile.com
It is now stuck. It just shows the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge screen and then flashes to "Recovery Booting" and just stays stuck there! For hours!
I have also tried to download 4.4.4 from sammobile.com and flash that but same thing happens. I cannot go into recovery, only into download mode.
I also tried to root it using CF-Autoroot but that failed.
Furthermore, I have tried flashing CWM and TWRP but both do nothing.
I am absolutely stuck! And I really need help!
PS: The phone has no warranty now, so I have no fallback! Please HELP!!!!!

I didn't have any luck flashing CF-AutoRoot when I was on Lollipop, I used CWM and it worked fine.
If your'e stuck go into ODIN mode (Power, Home + Down Vol) and then click up when prompted,
make sure your pc has samsung drivers installed
Download the stock 5.0.1 BOC2 ROM from this XDA page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/development/rom-stock-tw-lollipop-t3019721
(You can easily up to BOC6 or a hacked rom later)
Make sure to set Odin as shown in the picture from that same url above
http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/1/4/6/2/6/9/odin.PNG?key=DHp6BTdAsBVpoENIbV4DMw&ts=1431888807
This should work without any issues, I spent some cycles getting bootloops via cf-auto root and some funny ROM behaviour, I was always able to
use this to get me back to stock, root using cwm method then deploy whichever debloated rom you like !

Did you solve?
Try this (It works for me when my Note Edge was bricked):
On samsung kies 3 select "Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" and follow the instructions.
It will ask for phone model (SM-N915FY or other) and for Serial Number S/N, this number is indicated under the battery (make attention to insert the number near S/N not near SSN).
After this It will ask to connect the phone in Download Mode and after it will start to download the firmware (more than 1GB) and will start the installation.

Boot into recovery , power + button + sound UP and clear cache and all reset.
Re do lollipop and you should be fine.
Happened to me but i worked it out after the panic stage....

I have tried this but weird enough for me, after I input the model number followed by the S/N number in Kies, I got a message "Initialization is not supported for SM-N915FY"
Its kind of fishy since the S/N input only appears after I gave Kies the Model number. If N915FY was not supported, why would they make me open up the back cover and look up for the S/N, make me type it letter by letter and then tell me 'Ok, no luck for you!'.
Any explanation and/or solution for me please? I only have 14 days of extensive researching experience, still left with a 'baseband unknown and null imei" note edge with no prior efs backup .

I think we got the same problems bro, i was very proud note edge user till two days a go, when sudden problems start to happen like restart, slowdown, loop, freeze and shoot of, later no more reboot from system menu that it just shoots of, and then latter hard to start, i had to take out battery and push start + home + volume down buttons about one minute and put back battery just to bring in to download mode and then volume down to start the in to system, and after screen is off it shots down again and again, and last time i put in to freeze to start it to see any missed calls or messages, but sens last night no way i can start any more!
I used to update apps from google and samsung store, and i em curious at this latest update, overnight was lot of data use, even in settings it was setup not to sync any data and not to use any data in background, only Viber app, so i assume there most have been sent to our phones some malware update to brick our old lovely phones, it is very possible.
Now, all i can do is to go to market to find broken screen note edge to purchase and replace motherboard, and i hope i find one not sim-locked.
So try to use Odin v3.07, and download the firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-edge/firmware/#SM-N915FY ans flash it, hope you get back your phone, and if you need to root it, use TWRP v3.02.tar flash with odin to...so the rest of procedure i guess you know!

Today i found on local phone shop+ service one note edge with a bit broken screen, but it did start and stack on kind of "recovery booting", i realized the service or the owner did try to flash sort of room on it but not completed, i bought the phone sm-n915FY model for 30.euro, and now i just transferred the motherboard to my own phone and flashed the TWRP v3.02.tar successfully and let it charge first, bcz there was only 05% battery, and later i will see if i can restore the twrp backup, and i will be careful with this update apps from google and Samsung store the gmail, androidwebsecurity**, maps and browser.
Well, my phone works now, it's just the TWRP backup is not working correct, even i modified folder of the backup, i had pssword in backup and now when i restore seek pasword, i type correct, but the phone did encrypt it. so i have to start with new room setup.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500

Hello Everybody!
I would like to kindly ask you for some help regarding my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 phone. The phone has been locked in a network and further more, in the last months has experienced the autorestart issue. I have read other threads here (before posting this one) and I have seen that other people experience the phone vibrating and continuing to restart in the first two screens. Also, if battery had been taken out, when putting it back in the phone would restart.
After reading the possible solutions here, I have hoped that installing a new ROM on the phone might solve this problem. I have also installed the CWM-based recovery and I believe I have managed to root it. (I am not an expert, but I have managed to root before two Samsung phones after the instructions given here - everything worked flawlessly).
However, yesterday, after obtaining a successful install screen from the version Inspiration_Rom_V18_Kitkat_Edition.zip downloade from this forum, I am stuck with my phone in the CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.8 screen. I have tried to install other ROM stable versions from the forum but I seem not to be able to get rid of this screen.
Might I want to add that the phone escaped the former rebooting issue, the battery and the power button seem to work fine now. For example I can shut the phone down, I can restart it, if I take the battery out and put it back in, it will not automatically start. Is there still hope? Have i bricked it?
Please advise and excuse me if I have written anything stupid,
Vlad

galaxy s6 brick- help!

Hello guys
I wanted to downgrade android from 7 to 6 by using odin. I had downloaded original 6.0.1 firmware from samsung site, which was making some errors in odin.
Later I cannot turn on phone, only option was displayed on screen was about fixing phone by smart switch. I had downloaded that app, done completly restoration and now I cant turn on my phone. Only thing I can do is going into download mode, there is no recovery, also combination of vol. down + power is not helping for me.
Has anybody any advices? It should be kernel problem? Some boot files were deleted?
