[Q] intermitent Wi-Fi 4.3

ok i brought my mates GT-I9305 , it was flashed with a custom rom ( i think ) 4.12 i couldn't update rom ( then i used odin flashed to EE uk 4.30 stock rom) and was able to update from the phone ( when the WiFi worked ) finished off using KIES , ive still got intermittent use of WiFi ( he told me it had this prroblem when i brought it ) , there is a 1 flash on the binary counter , i was wondering if there was a way to get wifi sorted ( if its a known prroblem by flashing again with a custom rom ) or could i get rid of the binary counter and send to samsung under the warranty ?? decisions decisions , ive downloaded the yellow triangle app , but phone isnt rooted ( dont know what is the best proggie to use )
thank you for your time in reading this

what android version are you on now? do you have that knox bootloader? ( reboot to download and check if it says knox warranty void on the botom )....if not you are in luck... root, use triangle away, flash the right firmware from http://samfirmware.com/ and you cand send it to warranty....
if you have knox ****er(that one in download mode) and is 0x0 try to root without tripping it...use triangle away, install original firmware and send it...
if knox couter = 0x1...there is no point in sending it to warranty...

try to flash the firmware for your phone from samfirmware.com...it will increase counter to 2, but it will still be offcial, knox counter will still be 0x0...
and if it doesn't work you can definitely send it to warranty....there will be no problem...don't try to root it..to use triangle..you might trip knox counter.

The firmware on it is the official one now with the screen shot above, will I be able to send it back warranty ? Without trying to reset binary counter ?

yes it will...the custom counter shows how many firmwares have you flashed...since status is Samsung Official you only flashed firmware from samsung...don't try to reset it..just send it back....but before do a factory reset and wipe cache if you haven't done this. maybe it will work...if not definitely send it back.
for them it will look like you tried to fix the problem by flashing another original firmware = counter 1...

Contacted them today , they are sending out a jiffy bag
They said It week take 10 days , which ia cool as I'm using a moto G anyway
Thank you very much for help will keep posted to what The outcome is .

SWEET it came back today i think with new hardware and i need to unlock it again and binary counter etc been reset

my guess is that they couldn't find the exact problem and replaced the motherboard....

[Q] Forgot my pin.

I forgot my phone pin .My phone is rooted and I want to hard reset my phone to get access.Can anyone help? OR Do I have to visit a care center.Is there a problem to flash or hard reset a rooted phone.Please help

Do you have a custom recovery? if so then this might help : " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225695 "
My friend followed the above method but he had a Samsung and he forgot his pattern.I'm pretty sure that it might work for you too as well.Still not too sure though.I'll appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Do this at your own risk.
Also, I don't think you need to consider service centers.
Good luck.

If you have a custom recovery you can flash my script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43500062
However it might not work

If you forgot your pin used on lockscreen then you can also reset your password by signing in using the id used in PlayStore.(If you have signed in).
You can get that option near Emergency Calls after you enter wrong password more than 5-6 times.

does anyone know if it can be solved?
Thanks in advance to everyone

That's an engineering model. Probably.
DO NOT REFLASH IT. You won't get that text back again for sure. Keep it safe - but I'm probably late.
Reflash with WDRT probably or thor2. I just noticed this is often.
EDIT 4: Or live as is, maybe.
EDIT 5: you have to live as is - you can reflash with the so-called "SMD downloader" but I never owned Windows phones other than Lumias, so won't be able to help much. If you wanna take a shot - you decide:
EDIT 6: if you brick - it was your idea.

Hi, thanks for the video guide, I already knew how to flash the phone I've done it many times the reflash but it doesn't solve anything. windows phones are no longer needed, they can only be used as a paperweight or as an alarm clock. Thanks, bye bye

You need to learn how to work with Qfil so search for some tutorials.

I looked for hours and wasn't able to make it work.... I wanted to backup partitons but Qfil didn't wanted to do so.
You provided a ftm file so you seem to know a lot more than me about this. Could you explain how you got it please ?

That's what I'm fearing... I dunno what will happen. I had not finished backing up data, I was just trying to understand how it's working and how to use those softwares :'(

In Qfil just click on a partition and then choose "read data" on right-click to dump/backup the partition.
Read the section B here it will gave some hints so that you can figure out how to work with Qfil.

Your device is in PDM mode I do not think that you can make it without flashing however sometimes flashing FTM alone can do the trick but I'm not sure if it factory resets or not.
