Help?

I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 then attempted to put CM10(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840414) on the phone. I downloaded the stable version for Verizon wireless and made sure it was correct etc. I went to TWRP and put install then went to the .zip and continued after doing that the phone resets saying "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.". I am not entirely sure what I did wrong but it will no longer let me enter twrp but it does let me go to the download screen. Did I brick it or what? Thanks.

That method did that too me as well. use this instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825
You didn't brick it I had that pop up my first flash as well
Pretty sure It was because it didn't unlock the bootloader correctly.

How do I use odin to put the bootloader file on my phone since it's not an .md5 file etc.? Sorry, just don't understand.

" I held volume down/home for a few seconds and then held power. The phone booted to a mode I had not seen before (recovery/download as you said?) and I said cancel and the phone booted!"
Boot normal. use tool in first link to unlock the bootloader and CM should be up and running

also you should be able to get into recovery just let go of the volume, power, home as soon as you see the samsung logo pop up

I did the hold the volume button down/home at same time then press power but that sends me to the normal do I want to download press up to continue or down to cancel. I pressed down and it still gave me the warning. I try going to recovery but it prevents me by telling me the same message. I think it's the bootloader like you said but I don't understand how to get the file on the phone through oden. I downloaded that first link but it won't go through oden because it's not the .md5 etc and the computer isn't showing me the phone data through my files.
I am going to odin flash a stock image then re-boot.

I reflashed the phone using odin. I went through and used the "casual" rooting process which appeared to work. I went into twerp then pressed install then pressed the .zip for the CM mod. It re-loaded and now it's stuck on the CyanogenMod screen with a circle. I don't understand if it's installing or what?
I understand now why it wasn't working. Answer in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36341274 Anyways, now that I got CM to work. GAPPS refuses to work, it sends an error message saying that the Setup Wizard has failed. I don't understand that.
Checked to make sure the GAPPS version I downloaded was the one compatibale with the CM version, it was not so I re-downloaded the correct version now everything is working great. Thanks spitfire143 for all the help and getting me on the right track!

[Q] Razr HD Problem (Need help ASAP Please!)

HI!
So for the past couple days my Razr HD has been going crazy. When i turn it on it comes up with almost every single app saying "Unfortunately .... has stopped. The first one or the one that pops up the most often is like .gapps which i believe is the google apps? But once these messages pop up they don't stop, making it extremely hard to get around on my phone. Also about one minute in my homescreen wont work so im stuck in settings or something. Another thing is that it will restart by itself if i leave it alone for a minute. And when I try to wipe it/factory reset, it doesnt work, i come back to everything being the same! ive tried every single way. Fast boot loader, Recovery mode, from settings, turning off restore in setting. Please help! I know it must be like some kind of virus and i really need help, im not the most techy person out there. But my brother is, so if you have something complex, im sure he'll understand.
Thanks

You must have tried a cwmr/twrp restore to a previous backup or all the way back to your 1st backup?
I sounds like a corrupted ui.
Rsd lite restore to the newest stock build.
You talk as if your boot is unlocked-so it cannot be relocked.

Wipe data from stk recovery then rsd restore.
1-choose recovery,
[email protected] the dead android press & hold both vol keys for 3 sec.
3-wipe data
4-go bootloader
5- ap fastboot
6- run rsd...

Okay so I can do all those things, and I just looked up what RSD was because i was a bit confused, but its a program that i download onto my computer and run it onto my phone to reset it. Am I correct? Sorry, I'm knew to android so I don't know much.

If you are careful not to use the xt907 xmls, I have a guide in my signature-stock restore. All the steps apply to you. You can browse the driod/developers site for the right hd xml for you.
Do try the safeboot first.
You have a locked boot right?
Always choose the latest xml.

Follow the sad Smiley & 98.18.78 (substitute the 'hd build you need). Go for root to the new thread here, general forum

Just use RSD Lite to restock your phone. It will solve your problem...
1. Download and install RSD Lite 6.1.5 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ite_v6.1.x.zip
2. Make sure you have installed latest Motorola Device Manager and drivers on your PC - https://motorola-global-portal.custh...81/action/auth
3. Download XT925 stock firmwares (Retail.DE for example...) - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=6
4. Put the phone in AP Fastboot (Turn off your phone. Press and hold the following buttons at the same time until the screen turns on 1) volume down 2) volume up 3) power. Press Volume down until you reach the AP fastboot in the list. Press Volume up to select) connect it to PC cia usb cable and start RSD Lite
5.(optional) When you extract it and load the rom in RSDLite if you get FLASHING FAILED ˝getvar´ you'll need to edit rom file and delete line with ˝getvar˝ strings and <step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" /> strings also.
If your phone is Droid Razr HD XT926 download it's roms from same site in step 3. instead for XT925. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5
Let me know how it went... If you have any questions...

Problem with unlocking the screenlock. Half screen not responding

Good evening , well after few days reading diferent sites , youtube vids on how unlock the device lockscreen, i tryied downloading adb tool , and droidexplorer and even sdk tools.
My main trouble is that half of my screen wont work and i cant get acces to my mobile to unlock it.
I tryied to get in to recovery mode to wipe out the cache so i could get via usb my folder with my family pictures and so on , but after selecting recovery mode it says no commands avaible...
So this option no idea why is not working , no idea if its cuz my usb dont have the settings to get into the folders or what.
So i really would appreciate any help or guide so i can try to pull somehow my family pictures from the phone.. :S
The phone is not rooted , i never enable anything so i guess that debugging i did read some post wont work with that adb comands from cmd... So im kinda lost right now guys.
Thanks for any help

Does the phone have an unlocked bootloader? If it does, you could flash twrp, boot into twrp, and mount the data partition.
If it doesn't have an unlocked bootloader, you could put the motherboard into another working n5 to get the data from the phone. If you don't have a spare n5, your best option may be to buy a replacement lcd, frame, and digitizer from third party seller such as eBay or Aliexpress. You could also look for a cheap and used n5 with a working screen.

I have no idea if the bootloader is unlocked , how can i check it? And there is a option to unlock it somehow? The main problem is that i cannot access to my phone via usb since its locked , if i could force somehow to get the usb working would be enough.
Cuz changin the motherboard it will just make it like new one , but what i need is kinda much the files i have in the phone , the phone is irrelevant , but not my family pictures.
Thanks again

If the bootloader is not unlocked, don't unlock it as unlocking will wipe the phone!
If you put the motherboard from your current phone into another phone, you should be fine.

I understand that a way to solve , but i have no idea how to do a change of the motherboard o.o

When you cold boot the phone, do you see an icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like an unlocked padlock? It appears below the word Google just before the boot animation appears.

maybe you should boot into safe mode first ... it might be an app you downloaded causing the problem

Back to Stock help please

I want to put my phone back to factory, as it was out of the box. I have done a few things but when it starts up, the keyboard is missing and all the stock Apps are missing.
Can someone provide me with a step by step guide on how to put it back to stock Android 7.0
Cheers

what i did was reboot to recovery (twrp) if you can somehow, and plug in to computer and use adb to reboot to bootloader. adb reboot bootloader
from there i hold down power and volume up (keep plugged in to computer). It should boot to stock recovery and you can connect the phone to wifi and download stock.
I was on Lineage and it was working great I just wanted to go back to stock 5.0 emui. This worked for me after I screwed around for a day trying to figure out how to get back and I sort of stumbled into it.
It was stuck on the blue Honor Screen immediately after for the first boot forever so i actually held down power + Volume down I think until it rebooted then immediatley Power Button + volume up and factory reset it again. This did it and booted it up back to 5.0.
the only thing is my bootloader is still unlocked. Back on emui 4 this sort of method would lock it up as well as unroot and put everything back to stock but it doesnt lock the bootloader back up at least on mine. hope this helps sorry if my directions suck this is my first time posting.

For me, when I try to download from the recovery screen it comes up with an error and won't download.

That is my problem, too. Didn't find any workaround for it yet and would also be interested!

I am on the US l04 version maybe yours is a different model and uses a different method?
Really difficult to find 100% sure fire answers at least for me with this particular device so I just started to be my own guinea pig and test out things on my own. I also was able to lock my bootloader back by using this command
fastboot oem relock [unlock code i received from honor site]

I am on the FRD-L09 Version. I also have another problem, that my PC won't recognize my Honor8 in Fastboot Mode (both: google's .exe files and the amazing Huawei MultiTool by Team MT).
every ADB Command works fine so far.
Since all downloadlinks for Huawei Firmware from here didn't work for me so far, too, i am trying the original Firmware from hihonor.com. The last time i checked it wasn't offered there until recently.
I am trying to make a SoftwareUpgrade via the Service Menu (*#*# 2846579#*#* tipped into the calling interface). This will execute the Update.app i copied to my sdcard/dload/ folder.
I hope i am not forgetting any procedures before i try to update. Right now my device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, while TWRP3.1 is installed.

I'm new to this so I don't know how to share links or files yet or even if thats possible but I used the "Huawei Android USB Driver" I found on one of the posts on this site. I cant remember exactly which one I'm not the most organized person with my files. look around on xda there are links to it somewhere. I'll try to dig around for you here in a few minutes see if i can find the link.

Oh one more thing
in emui 5.0 i found USB debugging always shuts itself off for some reason. So when your phone is plugged in go back into your developer settings and switch usb debugging back on.
I dont know why they changed this it wont stay on for me at least automatically

The USB Driver you mentioned are the ones which can be installed via the Huawei Multitool by Team MT. In the unzipped folder from there, there is a Huawei_Multi-Tool.bat which can be run. It can be used for multiple purposes, even installing all drivers. (except the ones for my fastboot connection obviously, but it also could be a hardware problem. so i didn't report this problem to them).
perhaps it can already help you guys.

I resolved my issue. I followed the downgrade instructions and it worked a treat. It then auto updated back to Nougat.

Still stuck in boot loop after successfull odin flash

Looking for some help please! My phone battery died the other day, I plugged it in to charge and turned it on at 3% battery life only to get stuck in a boot loop.
Did a factory reset and then successfully flashed with odin and current firmware G930TUVS9CSC1. After flashing it went to installing a system update screen only getting to about 32%, then it said erasing for a while and went back to the samsung startup screen stuck in apparently the same boot loop I started with.
Is my phone screwed or did I miss something? looking for any help, thanks.

It sometimes does this, make sure the firmware your using is correct for your device and flash again.
UNCHECK "auto reboot" in Odin
Disconnect when flash complete Do Not Turn The Phone On
Reboot into recovery volume up+home+power
Wipe cache/factory rest
Reboot

It boots up with no led indicating light and continues to just flash the opening samsung screen for eternity.

SIM reader on phone, blow into hole to dislodge any dust and make sure sim is flat in adapter. Very rarely a software problem with sim not read.

interesting, it worked fine before this started 2 days ago. I guess maybe the sim card reader broke? theres definitely no dirt in there and it seems to make a good connection (tried a new sim card had lying around and it etched lines into the sim card nicely).
Also I should mention that I had no clue what I was doing and flashed a dozen or so different versions of firmwares probably like 20 times, so maybe I caused it.

Er.... Yes!
You have to flash the correct region firmware for your device or you end up with problems like you have.
Search for the SamFirm tool on here it's great for getting the correct firmware direct from Samsung servers.

Okay well that tool's forum post says it's deprecated so I followed the alternative link to updato and got stock 8.0 from there. Flashed phone, everything works 100% but still no sim detected.
I'm wondering If I broke my phone because I even tried some custom rom with a pit file and probably did that wrong as well.

First MAKE SURE you are flashing correct firmware for your device.
What device do you have and what country?
If you are sure it's correct. Flash again with Odin but uncheck "auto reboot" in options.
When pass appears just disconnect phone, it doesn't matter what it shows on the screen.
In this sequence press and hold the following... Volume down+home+power.
As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to Volume up while still pressing home+power. It may take several attempts.
When recovery menu appears wipe cache partition then reboot.
Leave phone go through boot sequence, ignore what appears on the screen during this time it is normal. This boot should take around 5 minutes.

EDIT: FIXED, I did what you did, but for that to work I had to flash it without the hidden.img. Then it rebooted and got stuck on the logo again, but i was able to boot into recovery. Thank you so much.

Hey, thank you for responding.
I'm not 100% sure it's the right one
Device: Samsung A510M
Country: Argentina
Carrier: Personal
I downloaded a firmware from sammobile matching those specifications, but it fails at the last step with hidden.img.
This morning I downloaded another firmware through samfirm, but that one fails at modem.img instead.
I will try your instructions with either of them.

To be clear, I only need to repeat this part of the process, not reinstall the firmware every time, correct? I've been trying to do this for a while, but it just shows:
"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
