doh
I bought it off ebay and rooted it so i dont even have warrenty on it , how much is it gonna cost approximately ?

same here i bought from ebay and I had no proof of purchase, just rang samsung and said it crashed and they fixed without proof of purchase and for free .
For just a backup i sent my recipts for ebay and paypal, they have just responed back to me that they have recieved the docments after they fixed my phone and i had recieved it as well. ?
so send your phone in and say it crashed whilst you accidently unmounting the internal memory card and the battery died and now it will not turn on. tel : (0)1932 454358.

also forgot my phone was rooted as well ...... no harm in giving it a go

thanks dude, will definitly give it a try.

thnx for amazing help sir am asking for help not to sm 1 make fun of me thnx
It does sound like a stolen unit that has had it's IMEI blocked. Where did you get it? Why do you not know the pattern or email? You have to admit your post does sound very suspicious. As the previous poster said you need to return it to wherever you got it from.

[Q] My Si won't start

Hi, I read some earlier posts about same problem as mine but they all failed ad changing boot loader or something else, but my situation is different.
I was chatting with friend on whatsapp nothing unusually battery was at 35% (btw I recently installed swapper maybe this has something with problem) and phone get freeze, I wait a little and I notice it is not working at all, I waited another 1 min and tryed to pull out battery but before I done that phone turned off itself, and I tryed to turn it on again but phone won't turn on, nothing shows on display, I tryed to put it in recovery mode, download mode nothing, I tryed to connect it on charger and pc with and without battery still nothing...
Did time came to spend a few bucks to repair it or this is just software fault ?

P.S. I recently installed cyanogen mod Smoothie V2 and CWM5504-CM9-recovery.
It was working almost as perfect except some short freezing when web browsing.

You could try to use a JIG. It will force the device to boot in download mode and them you can try to flash with Odin
You can find a guide here: http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&sourc...94HoAw&usg=AFQjCNHbzGIi_e55lP8M8jFMmcqpKCtkxw
If its not working tell me back

Problem With HTC One PN071.

Hi All,
firstly i would like to say that the phone i am having an issue is the HTC One From Telstra in australia....
ok now we have that out of the way...... this phone is my fathers and he needs it for work so me being able to fix it is urgent....
afew weeks ago the phone downloaded an update over 4g and resulted in being corrupted in the download (my father prob drove into a low signal area as he is a truck driver) after this happened his phone started rebooting its self.... it would not get a network connection and it would make it as far as the lock screen and reboot and thats as far as it would go...... it fixed itself up somehow and booted up fine got a network connection and so on.... once i got to the home screen i got a message on screen saying that it attempted to do a software update but the download became corrupt (600+mb download) so i connected to wifi and tried again... 30 minutes later the update was installed and his phone was working good as new...... fast foward 2 weeks to this morning and his phone started playing up again.... this time u could get to the home screen and use it but it would reboot itself again in less than 5 minutes..... and during the time that it is running it isnt detecting the sim card.... ive tried his sim card in my galaxy note 3 and it works without an issue so the sim isnt the problem in any way shape or form... what i need to know is how can i fix this.....
here is what i am thinking of doing
backup his phone
find out how to restore the firmware through recovery (his phone is still under warrenty though so i dont want to do anything to void that)
the one problem i have is that i can not get a backup of this phone because it reboots itself..... any ideas??? i will love u guys forever if your able to help?
Thanks
or failing that is there any way i can restore the firmware without losing data on the internal storage?
Go to warranty. Most of things you do here will void warranty.

Stuck at padlock screen then reboots into recovery

i have a note 3 that is boots up to the unlocked padlock screen gets stuck there then boots into recovery mode. it even gets stuck in like a bsod mode where i cant see nothing or get it to respond to buttons. the only way I can is if i open it up and disconnect all ribbons(havent tried pinning pointing one yet) after i do that and reconnect them i can get the phone in download mode or recovery mode. i tried the restore with title wifi fix. to no avail. the only thing i know about this phone is supposedly it was working then they guy tried to do the update since then stuck. he said he sent it to samsung and they wouldnt fix it because it supposedly had a custom rom flashed. which im sure it had something done because of the unlock padlock/bootloader sign. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Brother !!
This same thing happened to me!!
I looked everywhere for an easy solution BUT THERE IS NONE !! Yet.
The reason why is because there are no easy "Odin back to stock files" yet is because at&t is a fn a-hole and locked the bootloader !!
I brikt my shıt about 4 days after I brought it home from costco.
I combed through the interwebs for the 48 hrs straight like a mad tweaker!! because of course this is our 800 dollar babies we're talking about !!
I kept getting the same error message as you are mentioning about the kies update connect your pc blah and so I tool it back to costco and played dumb and said that I got a notification to update and clicked ok and it did some stuff and "now its stuck on this screen with some error??" .. the lady at the kiosk looked it up and down and said someone else had come in last week with the same error message . LoL !!
I walked out of there with a brand new baby !!
Maybe you can do the same thing? Just hoping you are within your return timeframe.
your last but definitely not last worst case scenerio option is to stick your sim card in another phone and wait till someone from our awesome family here finds away around/through that damn bootloader and drops the beautiful Odin+files to give new birth to your 5.7 beast of an angel !!
Hope this helped in any sort of way. Good luck dear Brother!!
Please let us know how it goes. I think there are many brothers on here in the same predicament.
