[Q] Bought used phone, won't activate with new sim from verizon topic

Hey M8 crew!

New to the M8, just bought the phone from swappa. Apparently it has root/s-off/some lollipop build installed on it. Clean ESN.

Took it into verizon to activate it on my line, but the sim doesn't appear to activate as they expect. It detects that it was inserted, says to reboot, after reboot still says no service, and never performs any activation. Verizon rep was claiming that the rom was causing the failures, and it does appear to likely be software related if it is never launching the activation. VZW tech support was no help other than saying it may take up to 12 hours to activate the sim (bs meter going off). Spent 2 hours in the store trying to get it to activate, saying everything was fine on their end. Tried a couple sims in store to rule out a bad sim. Have even tried the tape on the sim trick to see if that might have something to do with it.

Has anyone ever seen / heard of this sort of situation before and have any idea of how to fix it?

Would a stock RUU flash help out in anyway?

Is it because it is not a verizon rom that the activation is not happening? Would I somehow be able to use a different verizon phone to activate the sim, then put it in my phone and have service start working?

Any ideas?

[Q] S3 Mini with latest CM 11 suddenly won't boot up topic

Hi guys, I've been using this rom for a weeks now without any problems until this. I left my phone to charge overnight and turned the charger off when I woke up. I didn't touch my phone until after I got home from school and it's suddenly like this. The power button does nothing, I don't think the 3 buttons do anything. I'm stuck. I created an account just for this. I hope someone will be able to help! I also enabled Battery Doctor's cpu management when the screen is off if it changes anything. Thank You!

[help] glass cracked, won't turn off! topic

So my nexus 4's glass screen shattered today :( and also the digitiser broke. The lcd still works and the rest of the phone seems to be fine.

Anyway, for some reason the phone is automatically restarting after I hold the power button for 10 secs to force power off. Also the phone boots fine into lollipop and with what little part of the digitiser that works I can access the notification bar and go into settings meaning its operating ok as far as I know.

I have no clue how to diagnose what's causing this, please help!!!

Thanks in advance

[Q] Bricked my nook color... won't boot at all topic

Hello!

So, I had CM10 on my Nook Color and was resetting it back to stock and accidentally formatted /boot while trying to format /system in Clockwork Recovery.

My NC won't boot at all. I've tried putting Clockwork Recovery as well as TWRP on an SD Card with the stock nook images but can't even get the nook to boot to SD.

I highly doubt the battery is dead because it was above 80% when this first happened about an hour ago.

I've found some links on what to try but all the download links are old and dead.

What else can I do?
Any/all help is appreciated!

My main goal is to get back to stock 1.4.3

Phone wont boot topic

Ok here's what's happening. I was running ViperOne originally w/ TWRP recovery. I wanted to switch to Android Revolution. Did all the normal back up functions then wiped and flashed. After I flashed the phone would try to boot into recovery when ever powered on, but would hang at the "Entering Recovery" screen. I flashed the newest version of TWRP, which got me out of that loop. Now the phone boots straight to fastboot only. I can enter recovery and communicate fine w/ it from my PC. However, nothing I do stops it from booting to fastboot. I've tried installing multiple ROMs and changing recoveries, but the behavior remains the same. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Phone wont work after update topic

Good afternoon guys,
Im here with a problem..

My phone is a WIko Cink Peax 2 with Jelly bean OS
Yesterday it was released a new official update for this phone and 1 month earlier I had done root.
Its happens that when i clicked to start the update phone was about to reboot but nothing happened. I thought it was dead..

Now every time I turn the phone on it goes to cwm recovery (v6.0.3.7) and down in the screen says “warning: no file_contexts”.

When I click “reboot system now” shows up that phone doesn’t has root “root access is missing. Root device?” I click in “Yes - Root Device (/system/xbin/su)” and phone restarts but everything still the same.

I already done wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Still nothing..

I downloaded the super su and put in on my sd card because I read in a website that this could solve the problem. Happens that when I click “choose zip from external sdcard" shows this message "E: Cant mount /external_sd/" with all this I have no more ideia of what I should do.

Other thing that I think its important to mention is that when I connect phone via usb to pc it turns on by it self.

If anyone could help me I appreaceate it ..

[Q] Note 2 Won't power On or Charge topic

I realize that this is most likely a lost cause but thought I'd try anyhow.

My Note 2 won't power on or charge. I can't access recovery mode. I had a Stock ROM, and never rooted the device.

Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? MoBo onboard power supply? Is there a part I can replace to try to at least retrieve some data?

Thanks in advance all!

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 wont reboot??? topic

Oh Dear, what have I done?
I have an old galaxy note 2 that I am trying to set up with a new sim card for my boss. I have an unlock code from three mobile, the new EE sim card and have followed the unlock instructions from Three Mobile. New card went in, turned phone on in readiness for what they described as "The handset will display an empty text field and request the 'SIM network unlock PIN", but the phone never got passed the first bit of booting up, just displaying "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" in with writing on a black background.
I have tried: putting old sim back in, turning it on with no sim, doing a hard reset with no sim, old sim, new sim and any conceivable option or variant, but in all cases seems to end up at the same screen. To add insult to injury, the bosses old crapberry has now transferred onto the new sim/contract, so he is without a phone and I'm going to start looking for a new job...
How bad is this? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

[Q] Phone on but screen won't switch on. topic

Hi,

I have a brand new s9305. Sometimes I will go to check for messages etc and the LED is flashing but pressing the power button or main button does nothing. I need to hold down the main button and power button to reset it before I can use it. I am running the latest factory rom. Is there anything I can do about this?

I took it back to the shop but they want to send it away which is a real hassle.

Thanks

Nexus 6 won't turn on topic

So I have an opportunity to trade my droid turbo for a nexus 6, which is what I've been trying to do for a min. I found one that is in perfect condition, but it will not turn on. The seller says that the green light will blink a few times when he plugs in the charger, and then it stops and that's it. He said the battery died and couldnt get it to turn back on after that. Phone is just over a month old and he hasn't done any troubleshooting. He already ordered a replacement and isn't worried about trying to fix it. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? I'd really like to make the trade but don't wanna be stuck with a broken phone. Thanks for any input!

[Q] After factory reset, it won't boot. topic

After the factory reset, the screen won't proceed after the logo screen. My computer won't recognize the phone at all. (it tries to install the phone drive and then it fails) it seems like I can go to the recovery boot screen. However, after I've done factory reset/wipe cache, it still won't work. HELPPPP

OmniROM phone won't mount. topic

Hi folks,
Running the latest OmniROM nightlies on my Find 7, non-unified.
:eek:
The phone won't mount on my Windows 8.1 box for some unknown reason.

It happened I think after I installed drivers for a Samsung S3 which I rooted and flashed. I uninstalled those and cleaned up the registery, still no dice.

When I plug the phone in the machine makes the mount beep sound, but the device does not appear. Other USBs do. I don't have another computer to test the phone mount on, however.

USB debugging on/off with the same effect.

Any other ideas? The computer doesn't normally have any problems mounting things.

I'll update this if I find a fix, or if more details are needed.

Cheers!

[Q] Screen won't turn off topic

*FYI my M8 is not rooted*


Recently, my screen has been staying on constantly, not even dimming, unless I turn it off manually. A reboot temporarily fixes the problem.
I thought it was Tasker to start with but after disabling it, turning off all my profiles and turning them on one by one until the problem reoccurred (which it didn't when turning profiles on individually), the screen began to stay on again. Could this be a wake lock? I am not rooted so I can't use wakelock detector.

WiFi and Bluetooth won't turn on on any kernel and firmware (stock / custom) topic

Hello,

today I was working with my Xperia Z (C6603) and flashed a CM12 build. After having some problems with TWRP, I solved it in the end an TWRP and CM12 were working fine. But WiFi and Bluetooth won't turn on anymore. When I press "turn on" it takes some time and then the switch turns off again. A MAC address is not shown anymore. I tried to flash stock firmware with Flashtool, but didn't change anything.

Can someone help me to solve this? Is my phone partially bricked?

Thanks a lot!

[Q] Phone won't boot topic

So I just recently went to flash a new ROM (PA 4.4) onto my phone which was on CarbonRom 4.4. I went into recovery TWRP 2.7.1 and after I successfully flashed the PA ROM the phone rebooted and showed the quick Samsung logo for a second then nothing, just black screen. I cannot get into Recovery mode now either.

I have since gotten into ODIN mode and flashed stock rerooted/unlocked bootloader again/flashed TWRP 2.8.3 and attempted it again with the same results. Any help as to what I can do to be able to flash a new ROM and not be stuck on stock now?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Blaze S in Europe, data works but the phone calls won't work topic

My American friend came to Finland with her T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze. She is not an expert in technical things but she mentioned that the data (messaging with different messaging apps) works with a Finnish SIM card but the phone calls won't work at all.

I took a look at her phone but didn't find anything strange. Any clue where this issue might come from? The phone is with a stock ROM so it's neither rooted nor flashed with a custom ROM.

Thanks in advance!

[Q] Android won't boot... topic

Hey folks...I'm running into a problem I was hoping someone might be able to help with.
Earlier today I pulled my phone out of my pocket at work and saw that it was off...I thought that the battery must have died sooner than I thought. I started charging it in the car on the way home and it wouldn't boot up like normal. It would get to the google or "dots" screen and then reboot. I again thought that the battery might just be really low. After getting home and charging the phone all the way I still can't get it to boot up. As of now, one of 3 things will happen...
1-The phone will turn on, get to the google screen and bootloop (usually when plugged in).
2-The phone will turn on, get to the google screen and freeze.
3-Get to the "dots" screen and either swirl forever or eventually reboot and do one of the above again.
I've read some threads where people suggest this is a faulty power button, that doesn't seem to be the case for me though because I can get into fastboot and it won't select anything or turn off without me doing it.
I've used WugFresh NRT and wiped/reflashed android. I'm running out of ideas. Do you have any others?
I was running the stock 5.0.1, unlocked, not currently rooted.
Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy Tab 4 had major error after change DPI and won't start properly. topic

So I had a rooted Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 that I didn't have any backups for and I stupidly changed the DPI of the screen and rebooted the device and it started up in bootloop and I tried recovering it and nothing would work. So I finally settled on the wipe and factory reset, and now it starts up VERY SLOWLY, and the start of the set up for the device shows up but constantly I'm being bombarbed by TOUCHWIZUI has stopped working and 3 other things keep popping up saying they have stopped working. The touch screen barely works.

I have no idea what to do. I have no backups. I am not that familiar with android. I am downloading the stock firmware and am going to try to put it on with odin but I doubt it's going to work.

Can someone give me some advice on what to do? I would REALLY appreciate it.

Sincerely,
SalvelinuxFontinalix

BTW. The tab is the SM-T530NU Canadian (Wifi) version. The firmware I am downloading is the T530NUUEU1ANI1_T530NUXAC1ANI1...

Can I use ODIN to flash this firmware from my PC onto the device or will it be a huge problem if the tablet has been wiped and factory reset and is missing all sorts of information?
