I find myself a little overwhelmed by all the firmware #s and what is ok and isn't. So...lol
I found this galaxy s7 edge on the side of the road. Its beat up pretty bad. I mean, it looks wrecked, but surprisingly the screen is in almost perfect shape. Anyway, there was a screen lock on it so I factory reset it..and you know the rest so..
Its at 7.0 (g935vvru4bqf2) from what i've read I need to downgrade and then it will allow side sync to pop up on frp on phone.. Correct?
I'm confused which firmware to download and flash with Odin ttyl put the phone back to where that will happen. I've also heard it has to have ph1 or something. Dunno. Hope someone gets this..lol

May sound like a strange question but..
I want to get my wife a new phone.:angel: Every phone, so far, I picked for her and she was OK with choices. She also is person of no change. Anything new is a life breaking transition for her.
Her phone is 3 yo Samsung Continuum. Her sight is deteriorating, it's tiny display, she can barely see on it, and it's plain old. Yet, she refuses any suggestions to update, though we can get her say Galaxy III free of charge, and general layout and function is basically same. I can transfer pics and contacts and such.
What I want to do is to sabotage her Continuum, then say - Oh, honey, sorry, it's broke. Here's a free new shiny large display one for you.
I could have dropped some water into its electronic guts, but I am cheap, I like reselling used phones.
So, what can I do so that it goes "dead" but in such manner that it is recoverable (she does not need to know that part)?

Root it, and wipe system partition from cwm, system won't boot up, and you'll need only to reinstall a rom

Thank you. Will do.
Rooting is the right way to go, but I know people are pretty finicky about a phone already tempered with, so it is a good idea to restore it the stock rom before you sell it.
Yes, sure. I can also try old nail polish trick. Simply pull battery out, put nail polish onto the contacts, let it dry, and put battery back in. It's clear, no one will see, and insulates battery from the phone. I'll be the one to "attempt to repair it" anyway, might be easy way out. Then simply take some polish remover...
That's a nice trick! :laugh:
hihi, would keep this in mind
The physical volume buttons on My Z5 aren't responding anymore. Also you don't feel The "click" when pressing vol-up or down.
If i press press The buttons with a enormous force, you Will feel a small click and The device registers The vol-up or down.
I still have warranty until 04/2018 but im not sure If this is a warranty coverage case.
I contacted Sony Support and i can send the phone in to their Service Center. However, im not sure if its a warranty case? From the outside there no visible damage that could lead to this issue. Only a small ugly spot on 2 of the phone's corners. Besides that, the phone itself is 100% scratch or damage free.
Does someone knows if these problems usually will be repaired under warranty? Also, will i get a Refurbished model or will this one get repaired?
Is there someone with The same problem?
Usualy sony doesnt care much about bumps. MY friend had sony and it was actually missing whole edge and it stopped working. They fixed all on warranty, i dont think it will be a problem. I think they will fix this, its quite easy to change those buttons
Great! Btw, i bought this device second-hand online because my Nexus 6p broke. 1st Xperia ever.
Its a 'bit' bulky, but the Stock software is just the best aftermarket Android overlay ive ever worked with. The phone itself feels very very nice in hand and responds very quick to every action.
I was thinking about selling my device when i can get a new device from my contract (in 3 months, might go for S8), but this device will be a good backup device! I love it.
Any tips with this Device?
ps. i dont want to Unlock bootloader because im afraid they dont fix it under warranty anymore lol

yea i wonder myself same thing about bootlaoder and warranty, if anyone actually cares about that on service. For me this is best device size and extremely powerful and tunnable. Only thing i hate are buttons onscreen. I was thinking of swapping it for s6 edge maybe, but that phone is so damn big. Battery is totally better than any highg end samsung device. Thats about it. With no rooting there is not alot of tips to go on haha

My Battery life is still not that great. Plugged out at 100% this morning (3 hours ago), SOT 1:10 hour and 72percent remaining.
I did updated FULL WIPE to the new Nougat.
Any tips?
Dont mind the s6 please. Had it before, but you will get annoyed by the size if you like this phone. Also battery life is much worse than almost any other phone.
Customization options are less on stock, but Rooting and flashing roms are a bit more then here. But this phone is much more complete when you leave it to stock.
Im planning to go for S8 Edge because for me, i like bigger size. It'll get almost certain a 6.2 inch display, packed in the same size as the S7 edge now because it will be bezel-less.
I like the design of samsung's phones alot, especially the Edge series.
Had a nexus 6p for almost a year, perfect phone in size, quality, updates, customization. But...... i know myself, im flashing roms on weekly basis...
So im using the Z5 with a lot of joy atm because of the good stock rom.

Its not that ugly, the back for example, looks nice imo.
The front is just a square black brick.

Hey guys, I had my screen replaced about 2 months ago. Since then the screen itself has been peeling.
So I went a Samsung repair center so they can warranty my screen. Well, they took it, replaced it, then b4 returning it to me. They had to put it on a computer and that's when the computer found the Knox had been tripped.
Now that they put my original screen back. The peeling has gotten worst because the peeled it more..lol
I told their manager, don't they run it through the computer b4 they replace the screen. He said no, why would they*?#&ķ=
I would think they run and do a diagnostics check b4 opening the phone.
Any how, I have a screen that is peeling and can't do nothing about it.

Make them put in writing how modifying the software made the screen go bad, if they can't, tell them it's against the magnusson law .

Nice! Well, it's in the system as being rooted...
Any ideas on how to approach this, the manager said they can not do anything as the phone is rooted.
And I had explain to them, WTF! Does a screen peeling have to do with a rooted phone. And what pissed me off was they SAID the NEW screen was on there, and they put the old screen back..SMH
I tried & tried but ultimately I need to call Samsung direct.
But thank you!

Hi everyone,
I love my Note Edge 915A so much I got another one, when the screen started flaking out: Half my screen goes greenish - have read its a microfracture that will only get worse.
So I went looking for another phone and decided I dont like current offerings (I use the SD card and IR blaster a LOT), so I'll get the same for the time being, and ended got a 915F from ebay. Internet said it would work with AT&T. It doesn't look like it does. Questions I need help with:
- SIM card (taken from the 915A I have ) says "Invalid SIM Card". I've re-seated and sung sweet songs to it. Doesn't want to take.
- Read that 4G/LTE wont work on the 915F, maybe never? Have we found a solution to this yet?
- I've never flashed the 915A, but can install a custom ROM for the 915F to get 4G/LTE to work on AT&T?
Bottom line is, I would like some feedback on if I should just return it and look for an used 915A? I liked this one because it was new in box, but...
Thank you!
My friend, i have three solution for you, sens it seem your simm card is dedicated only for the A phone model simmlock.
1. Go to at&t shop to make the simm card for your new phone, they might ask for your phone perhaps to simmlock??
2. Flashing at&t room on new phone could be danger if it's different hardware chipsets, you are in your own!!!
3. Changing hardware board from A model in to F model it should work, that means you have everything in your phone you had before, just be careful you dont desttoy anything during removal of the board, use plastic gloves for any static demage might happen.
I bought a Samsung Z flip 3 on eBay. Changed out all the parts on it. When turning on the phone it is locked. Phone will not go into recovery mode tried everything possible. Is there a way to flash a different firmware on the device to bypass everything. I cannot get into the phone since it is locked any help would be great.
Have fun with your "bought" z flip 3
Flash back latest firmware thru Odin
┤Mod Edit├┤Quoted post removed├
It's locked which means flashing through Odin will just frp lock your phone, so once again enjoy your "bought" z flip 3
If you really bought it through eBay you'd have returned it by now and given how hostile you're being I'd say I hit the nail on the head with that one
Want real advice? maybe buy your own stuff instead of stealing it from others then trying to trick other people into helping you commit a crime. I don't really care if what you're describing is actually what's happening, given your reaction and how many holes can be picked into your story just at face value, I'd be spamming X right now
