Bricked - Tried Everything, Please Help topic

Ok fellas, I'm definitely bricked here. I went to flash TWRP (before brick) and that's when it happened.

So if I just turn the phone on it goes the the Samsung Galaxy S5 initial screen and is stuck. (def no boot loop)

I've downloaded the stock firmware (yes it's the correct one) and all Odin's 3.07 - 3.10. (ran as administrator)

I've uninstalled \ reinstalled usb drivers several times, Kies is completely uninstalled.

The problem in ODIN (any version I use), is that I add the firmware, run it and get the same thing every time:

Any ideas on how to fix this thing?

[Q] Tried to Root NK2 Verizon, Stuff Is Broken. What Did I Do? topic

Alright, so I picked up a new S5 from Verizon today running NK2. Played with it a few hours, and I wanted to get it rooted and BusyBoxed and debloated. So I follow the instructions I find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...42&postcount=1

Followed all instructions to the T, and when I Odin'ed it back to NK2 (Step 7) and rebooted, WiFi no longer works and random apps force close.

Is there a different/better method for getting rooted once the phone is on the NK2 firmware, or should I just Odin it back to stock and live with it?


I'd appreciate the help. I'm coming from an S1, 3, and 4 which have had many many many ROMS on them without issue, so I'd like to think I know what I'm doing.

Also, if I do Odin a stock version, should I do NK2, or is there a more "Open" firmware better for rooting?

firmware upgrade encountered an issue, tried many options, but still stucked. topic

hi,
i was using my galaxy ace without rooting. once I switched it off, and tried to switch on, i found it stucked in the bootloop. then i tried factory reset/wipe user data and wipe cashe partition with the stock recovery. But it didn't help. it was showing process completed wthin 2 seconds. so i'm not sure if that process was actually completed. Anyway, it never helped.
then I decided to flash stock rom with odin. i tried to open download mode by pressing vol down + home + power button. but then i found that even download mode is not opening. then i searched over internet, and found a tool, 300k tool, which really helped me to get into download mode, and somehow i started flashing stock rom. But unfortunately it failed, and left screen with a error message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
then i installed kies, but my phone never connected with usb cable. it keeps showing that its connecting, and at end it shows a message that says reboot device. but rebooting never helped.

now i really dont know what to do. please someone help me.
thanks in advance :)

Multiple issues, I just tried updating. help? topic

So I've been using (T-Mobile) D80120a for a long time and was having some issues with it so I thought I'd try upgrading since latest version is D80120g. I was hoping it would fix some of them.

My issues:
1. If my phone was on vibrate, it sometimes would act like silent mode, not even vibrating when I would get a text.
2. Bluetooth (music) in my new car will sometimes pause, then fast forward to catch up. Not sure if this is my car or phone's issue.
3. Worst of all, my phone turns itself off without notice. Sometimes multiple times in a short amount of time. No sound, no vibration, nothing. Never while using it or charging but sometimes when I haven't even touched it...
4. Some apps randomly tell me my phone is not rooted when I know it is. I have and use SuperSU and I've removed some system apps such as widgets that I don't use and are safe to remove. Also, apps such as ES File Explorer refuse to mount the /system folder. I can browse and edit all root folders except that one.

After successfully upgrading to g, all issues are fixed except 2, which again my not be my phone's fault. BUT g has added a new issue, now knock on/off will not work for some reason. I've turned it off and back on, and restarted a thousand times. Is there an apk responsible for allowing knock to work? What all can I try?

and btw, I'm also looking for a bloatware list for t-mobile D80120g! All of them I have found don't include everything or has a bunch of stuff that isn't there. I know some of this is crap but I'm really trying to only remove safe stuff so my issues don't return!

[Q] Tried to Root w/ TWRP, didn't work. topic

So I Tried to root my newly acquired I717, using this method
"How To: Root AT&T Galaxy Note i717 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 " on You Tube by mooneyb123
I tried on my macbook but I wouldn't recognize the note in Jodin. So I used my Fiances pc.

I had to install keis as the video did not mention that., But it did instal TWRP, which is awesome, But when I tried to instal the CWM-SuperuserSU-v0.94 file nothing happens, it appears to work fine and says successful but when I reboot and check for Root its not rooted.

I've tried this 4 times now.
I don't know what to do next

I want to root to get rid of the ATT bloatware, and possibly overclock. I might try a stable rom like padawan later but I mainly just want to root. Is their any way to do it with TWRP? or am I going to have to go another route?

Also can I odin CWM on or do I need to wipe the device to factory first. The main thing is I don't want to brick it as I am using the phone daily.
I tried what I thought would be the "easiest" looking way to root, but since it didn't work, I need some advice.
How do i get it back to stock recovery If its not rootable? I am running 4.1.2.
I did upgrade soon after I got the device but am wondering If I could have rooted it easier on the original version of android.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

is their any way I can do it with

No data connection (only calls n text). Already tried everything =( Verizon model topic

I have a ATT plan and just purchased a Verizon HTC one m8 unlocked (i suppose every verizon phone is unlocked).

I have normal calls and texts. But no data connection. Do you guys think this is an APN problem or I will never get data on my device due to some other crazy reason? I appreciate any thoughts.

Already tried many types of APN addresses:

Mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
Mms port: 80
Mms protocal: wap 2.0

Any way to get old school USB Mass storage back? I tried 3 apps, none worked(LG L70) topic

Ok so I was using a Droid X from 2011 till this November. I finally got a new phone, LG L70. It is a nice upgrade from what I had, much faster.
However the MTP mode leaves a lot lacking namely I cannot access my SD card from most applications only from windows explorer. I miss my phone being assigned a drive letter.
I have tried a few apps that claim they bring back USB mass storage mode but they do not. One ever required a reboot and it did nothing.

Any help?

Thanks :)
