Hi
I sent my S6 for repair and they came back to me saying that they it still doesn't work after a Motherboard Change odd?
Also if MB is changed will KNOX remain tripped or will it be reset to 0?

New MB did not work too
Did they offer any other advice? Or just leave you with a still broken phone?

Apparently since the local centre who got the device first attempted a repair with a change of MB could not get it to work, they sent it to the main repair centre...

So ask the repair people when it comes back. They're the ones who will have the answer.

have you taken EFS folder backup.. if not before going to service center flash stock firmware of your country and do factory reset, so that they will not know you have rooted your device..

I think he has already given it for servicing, but I'm not sure of the cost of getting a phone repaired by ssc (samsung service centre) , normally through some contacts we just have to pay rs1000 and the ssc ppl close one eye and repair the phone as though its under warranty.

what exactly is CSC ?
Sorry for the typo, I meant ssc (samsung service centre)
I have seen rooted devices getting repaired under warranty by the samsung service centre in my city. But the owners of the phone just had to pay a little overhead
Hope you get your device repaired soon

if u have warranty they will repair it for free, approx they will take 1~2 days in this as this is only a software issue.

if u have stock efs folder u can give it a try i m not sure it will work or not.
and about ssc they will fix it for free, just flash indian stock rom, reset counter and if possible format data so that they cant find traces of recovery or other apps which need root.
just claim that u were using ur phone and it restarted and boom ur networks gone, they will easily believe this and repair it for free. dont ever mention that u have messed with phone by rooting and flashing custom stuff. dont forget to take copy of bill with u

Resetting the counter is essential right?

Yes. If u wont reset they will tell u u have flashed unofficial stuff on ur phone and that voids warranty.
(usualy in ssc they write on notice board that flashing custom roms or rooting voids ur warranty)

if u goto ssc with rooted or counter increased device they will declare that ur device no longer in warranty and all future problems will be chargeable too.
why u cant get jig? if u have cc related issue than use this thread, many peoples are sharing their jig.

What explanation did you give for your IMEI which had vanished ?
And did he buy it ?
hai everyone,
My phone was bought from the U.S. then I've decided to bring it to the Philippines. To use my phone I've decided to open-line my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-i727.
After I brought and took it in the cp repair shop I've noticed that when I open my cp all I can see is white screen, how can I repair it.? did they took some of the parts of my cp.? how can I fix this.? PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP.! :crying::crying::crying:
I don't know what any of that means

open-line is what you called here in the philippines so that you can access their local network...but my problem was, when they return back my phone and when I opened it its all blank then I can't use it anymore...is there anyway that I can fix my phone or should I throw it away and buy a new one.? :crying:

You should bring it back to them and tell them they broke your phone.

yes.! that was I thought. I think its either displacement chip or the OS that they removed to my phone. I'll try to recover my phone I didn't even used it yet.!

Anyone know if returning to stock is good enough for returning the device? Does Knox have to be reset?
Tmobile doesn't blink an eye at any phone being modified when returning

So then what is the big deal when it comes to Knox being tripped and what not? Is that for warranty purposes for Samsung?
I honestly don't know, never have I sent a phone into samsung

Odin back to stock will do the trick, I've turned in a few Samsung phones with knox tripped for warranty and JOD. No issue at all
Awesome, thanks for the help.
T-Mobile doesn't check to see if Knox has been tripped. Just flash it back to stock and your good to go. Only time you may have to worry about Knox is when sending it to Samsung for a warranty issue.

T-Mobile doesn't care, but just to let you know, Knox can't just be reset.

hy guys,
cause my s6 motherboard is gone by an "i don't know what happened", during a normal wipe data from twrp 3.0.2-0 i don't know how my s6 don't turn on anymore. dead completely. a friend send me an efs backup from his s6, i've flashed that and my s6 has turned on. the only BIG matter is the imei, that don't work for nothing the ril. i've done a billion things to try to let my s6 working, but it doesn't. so i will know if possible replace my mainboard with an 64 gb version, and if there is things to know-modify ecc, because i've found in ebay an 64 gb mainboard for g920f, and i've started thinking thank you!!

IMEI is unique to each individual device. If you wrote over yours with his.. thats a whole other world of problems.

Yes same size motherboards so no reason it wouldn't work with everything else

the new motherboard comes with a different imei. he just needs to register the new imei on his account. To prove ownership he may have to show proof of ownership.
Did it work after you replace it? I was thinking to do it on mine as well.
