My phone was domestic unlocked. I was having a weird bug so I thought a software reinstall with Samsung Switch (PC) was a good idea...Worst decision I've made in 2016 so far! After the phone restarted, all Sprint apps were gone, and some others disabled like Facebook, Lookout and Instagram and the Hotspot and Tethering settings no longer appear. I went to a friend asking for some help: Various reinstalls with Odin yielded no results. GT idone needs root. A rooted phone is a no no for me as Banking apps and even Pokémon can't run. Factory resets and another "repair" with Samsung Switch are useless.
Where did the carrier apps went? Also, all the Sprint APNs no longer appear. Is there a NON ROOTED way of getting it back? We tried RTN, then reflashing with Odin with no results. I'm on the latest Marshmallow update (Came out yesterday)
Who is your carrier TELCEL?
Not sure what that is, actually I just look at your profile. What is your fw version?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 through Verizon. I had no issues at all with this devic before the software update to Lollipop. I loved this phone, my favorite of all I have ever had. Now everything is jacked up. Music stops constantly, contacts stop, the floating links on lock screen don't work, scrolling menu down to access notifications doesnt work,ETC, ETC, ETC. I have been in contact with Samsung support and everything they told me to do was useless. Now they say I need to go to Best Buy Samsung store. I live in a rural area and the closest Best Buy is out of my way. I'd rather not waste a trip if they are as stupid as the Samsung support. I've deleted cache, data, wiped the partion, started in safemode, you name it. The problem is Lollipop not anything on my phone. I have reached the point I am thinking about doing a factory reset to try to go back to kitkat. Any suggestions before I go that far?
Try Odin back to kitkat

A factory reset won't revert it to Kitkat. It's a good idea to try though, just back everything up first. If that doesn't make Lollipop work better, use Odin to flash an older version, as suggested.

I am very, VERY confused. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I believe my phone is just fried but I will find out when I take it into the sprint store tomorrow. I will most likely get a new/replacement phone but they will have no idea what caused the problem and I need to figure out how this happened so it won't happen again. I'm also very curious as I don't understand at all.
The problem: It started with me not being able to connect to the internet on ANY of my apps. No crashes or anything, just no connectivity to the internet. Calls and SMS still worked like normal. After calling sprint support they told me dial ##72786#, which then just simply broke calls and SMS. Now NOTHING works.
What caused the problem: This is where I am most confused. I was trying to setup a VPN (purevpn, to be exact) on my Xbox One. In the process of this, I was modifying my router settings on my Windows 8 PC, plugged in a 2nd router, and constantly turned the wifi off and on. I was using my phone to test if the wifi was still working. (e.g. going to google.com on firefox or launching clash of clans...literally that was it) The only thing that I can think may have messed it up was a step in settings up the VPN. On my computer, after I installed the purevpn software I located myself to "Network and Sharing Center", then clicked "Adapter Settings", then clicked on "Pure VPN", then "Sharing", then checked the box "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection", and lastly from the drop down menu, selected "Local Area Network." This allowed all devices on my network to use the VPN. Somehow this messed up my phone that hard?

Steps I have taken to fix this: I tried rebooting my times a million times. Then I cleared DNS cache in firefox and tried to connect. Then I tried hard rebooting my phone to flush DNS cache. Then I called sprint support, who told me dial ##72786#. After dialing this, calling and SMS DO NOT WORK. "Hands free activation" starting running after dialing that number and fails to work everytime. When I wasn't able to call the phone rep back, I used the sprint online chat support. I told the online rep what happened, and they assured me the only way to fix this was to factory reset my phone. As frustrated as I was, I did it. After the factory reboot, my phone STILL CAN'T CONNECT TO ****. Exactly how it was before the reboot, except I lost all of my stuff. I have done countless google searches and am clueless and need help.
Google will push all your stuff back to the phone after you log into your account. But you'll need the internet for that.
How did you get root?

I really don't remember, It was months ago. I paid $30 for it though and have never had issues with it.
Just brought it into a sprint tech store and they fixed by putting in a fresh sim card, reseting the phone, cache, dns, and everything they could reset. After that did not work they flashed an updated version of my phones software on the phone, which removed the root , and fixed the issue.
I explained what I did to all of the employees in the store (I was the only one there) and they were all as clueless as me.
Does anyone know what could have possibly caused this?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ running Android 7.0 on the old Renovate Ice rom. I recently had to wipe and reinstall the rom because I messed it up (can't remember what I did now that I think of it). I used to be able to toggle emergency alerts in the message app. Now, I can't anymore and I get all kinds of annoying **** at least once every other day like ATT test alerts. I can't disable it anymore since the reinstall. There is no "Privacy and Emergency" option under settings and none of the options in Samsung Messages have switches next to them and pressing them does nothing.
I really really need to get rid of this. Are there any hacks somewhere to do this? If no one knows, what custom roms can I use to do this? If possible, are there any Android 7.0 custom roms that would work? I really really don't want 8.0 because I'll lose Xposed compatibility.
Alright well I used a system app remover to remove samsung messages and installed a 3rd party app. The sheer incompetence of Samsung to make a working alert toggle switch is astounding.
A warning to anyone that has to or wants to do this themselves to avoid going through the multi-day process of upgrading to a new rom that probably works better and then putting all your **** back on your phone: Once you uninstall the system messages app you will NOT be able to reinstall it because of Samsung security that apparently prevents you from doing this. Trying to reinstall messaging or messaging services will give you the "Can't install because conflicting package name" horse ****. Someone that REALLY has a lot of time on their hands and knows what they're doing could perhaps convert a later version of Samsung Messaging to a zip rom patch and flash it via TWRP as a way of bypassing Samsung's security but that would be much more trouble than it's worth.
So here's the story:
I bought my new OnePlus 8T Android 11 Oxygen OS 11.0.6.7 for Total Wireless (Tracfone on Verizon) and got a new sim and everything worked fine then decided to unlock bootloader and root magisk (which i did) and then suddenly everything works again BUT I cannot RECEIVE SMS and MMS but CAN SEND them, Data works fine, Calling works fine. I tried getting a new SIM card, switching SIM slots, resetting phone, changing APN's, everything you can think of. Besides unrooting of course. Still all the same. So I'm wondering if rooting/unlocking bootloader effected anything or if anyone else has the same issue? or has any knowledge of such issue?
Have you checked Carrier Services? I had to downgrade as it borked messaging.

how do i do that?
Go to the Google Play store, find Carrier Services then uninstall (it may be uninstall updates). Once that's done, turn off automatic updating for Carrier Services (via the Play store). Then restart your phone.
Short store - installed firmware and now none of the OEM apps are on the phone. No ATT logo on bootup.
So months back my wife bought me an unlocked samsung note10+ that was new. I was using it via wifi fine but finally went to use with my sim card for att and learned it didnt work to make or receive calls. After investigating I learned I needed to flash the firmware with tmobile which would work for ATT. I found a video with instructions to reset phone, install usb drivers for window, run odin, load each firmware file into the correct boxes and then hit start and it said success and restarted phone. I can now call out and receive calls on the phone however the phone didnt boot up with the ATT logo not does it have any apps at all on the screen. I lost all my stock apps like the clock, calendar and all the oem ones, whether google maps, youtube and all that jazz.
Did I do something wrong? How do I get all those back as I need maps and youtube and definitely a clock to set alarms.
My apologies if in the wrong forum.

T mobile firmware doesn't have AT&T bloatware or AT&T specific apps and features(which you did not need and are not important anyway). As long as you are connecting to your network and can use the phone without issues, you will be fine. If you want the AT&T apps(including stock clock and calendar), you can probably find them online with a Google search and install them manually. As for the AT&T boot screen, it would require rooting the device to change that to AT&T boot screen. Maps and YouTube can be installed from Google PlayStore.
I have a N975U and and N975U1. AT&T brings nothing to the table I use. Both are nearly identical, I simply package block the AT&T apps on the one.
I use Samsung calendar and clock. Clock may not install for you as I'm running on Pie. Calendar won't upload here. Not sure why. It's 25mb, it should upload...

Upload it to a hosting site then link it here, then it should work just fine.
