Hi all
well, this brick has been bugging me for a while so I am finally going to do something about it, However while Im ok with computers , I have no Idea what im doing with this phone ( tis why I bricked it , when did a factory reset without removing my google account aparently) ! anyway , me boy bought phone, I bricked it and he got a new computer. So I would like to make this phone work again. We took it to repair shops and even Emailed samsung ( terrible after sales service ) but as we have moved countries , now in Japan , the repair shops are saying take it back to where you bought it , singapore! .. so I turn to XDA ! the phone is a Galaxy S10 plus Sm- G975F/DS SL if that makes any sense, I use a linux pc but we have a Japanese windows 10 pc in the house, so Im guessing Odin? will work.. Can someone steer me in the right direction
Thanks in advance

Hello everybody, before i get to my point let me introduce myself.. i am a college student studying in Australia and i am of indian origin although have never stayed there due to parents being moved around in mnc from wen i am small. I just bought my s2 today and i am having some big software issues. The set i bought is from china as i am here on holiday.
Phone Details:
PDA:I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC:I9100XEUKD1
I did a factory reset right after buying as i was hoping to rid of these chinese apps but that was no good.. Then i tried to download some android apps from android market but phone saying not recognized. i deleted and syncd my google account 3 times but to no use. PS. i cannot find a default android market app icon on my phone as well..
Can anyone please shed some light about my specific phone and what i must do to get it working to its full potential.. simple google, weather apps is not all i am hoping for.. I love being part of online communities for all my electronics such as my ps3, blackberry and alienware but i am very very new to android and smartphones but i am willing to learn as much as i can. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much folks!

There is a dedicated Galaxy S2 forum for this, I am sure someone can solve your problem there. Here's the link:

hello guys
i got my note 10.1 few weeks ago it aready jb out of box well im kinda new to this android world i had sony xperia sola be4 but never done anythin with software now with kali linux out and is for note 10.1 (used to be a big fan of bt ) i want to have it on my note but im worried about the warranty and so is theres anyway to do that without voiding the waranty ?? wish i could find some help around here .
thxx in advance
Any time you fool around with the OS, unless official, you are out of warranty.
As you will need to root your tab to run linux then yes its definately out of warranty....
Go to the threads on flashing linux and it will tell you the pros and cons and possible pitfalls of installing it.
Be prepared for a bit of reading and ask any questions in that thread, you'll get answers faster....
Thx for replying , so if anythin happened id throw it away ? Or isnot it recoverable ? Cant be reversed ?
That's what this place is about, fooling around with this sort of stuff....
If there's life in the tablet and you can get to recovery or boot loader screen it is generally recoverable. How much time and effort you want to put into this is up to you...
Black screen with no power = hard brick and requires either j-taggig or service center...
If you have a hardware problem you might be able to get it fixed under warranty, not commiting to that, but you definately won't get warranty service on software problems unless you can restock...
And before doing anything do some research, the info's out there. Ask a question but be sure to show you have done some searching or you will get rumbled...
Bought what I'm guessing is an S6 clone, no I didnt buy it knowing it was a clone.
The phone says its a G920F.
Anyway I cant get AT&T to work on it.
Can someone please point me in the right direction ?
I've gone to the AT&T site and plugged in what they say to in the ASN section.
Still no go.

Hello! I'm not sure whether you've tried asking your question in the dedicated forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6
You may be able to get a few pointers there.
Good luck!
And did a factory reset. When I did this, of course it had reactivation lock on, asking me to login to the Samsung account last used on device. of course I don't have, because well I bought the phone thinking I was getting a good deal :/ anyways, like I said im definitely new to all of this and to my understanding although it was a SPRINT device, it is possible to convert it to be used with a TMOBILE sim card and service.. I was told that rooting the device was what I needed to do inorder to use my TMOBILE service on the device. Which is exactly what ive been searching these forums and trying to get a straight answer on how to. Now the next problem is, I decided to check the IMEI and as you may have guessed, yes is indeed bad. It says reported lost/stolen. I know this also is only another hurdle on my road to happiness. Now, my question is, How do I go about flashing to a new IMEI, rooting my device, and going gsm to become tmobile compatable??? Please help somebody, thanks for reading all this I really am in a pickle and really don't want to be out the 300$ I paid for the phone. thanks

Do a Google search for Samsung FRP Unlock Tool: several apps exist.
