I really thought my touchscreen problem was a virus, but it's hardware, so ****.
I recently tried a lot of ROMs, finally one worked from Britain. I can lock my phone back and disable "only for dev uses" thinghy and play dumb if they ask anything.
I tried support, they said only original HTC service in Bucharest has the original ROMs, they pro'lly won't accept my phone if I ask for it :/
If someone could make a back-up of his phone (Romanian original software) that I can use on PhilzTouch, much obliged.
Please, desperate need. Help a dummy.

Ok here is my problem!
I have purchased a used Tytn II and it has some problems!
I sent it in for repair (still under warranty) 3 times and they told me they have fixed the problems, but the problems are still there!
I finally asked for a replacement device and they told me that they never replace phones, no matter what the problem is!
Here are the problems I have with my phone:
It loses connection ever so often, it turns off and on (restarts) and it sometimes tells me that there is no sim card, even tough the sim card is present and functioning!
My question is, how can I convince them to give me a new phone?
Becouse it is apparent that they are unable to fix the problem!
The warranty is going to expire soon!
Please I would be glad if someone could give me some suggestions!
Any suggestions at all!
Well you can try going up the chain, or filing a report with a company like the Better Business Bureau.
You can also try and see if there is a Rom update or one of the cooked roms that you can install here that might fix the problem... or even another radio.
Sometimes, and more often then not, those problems are caused by software then hardware.
If you do decide to try another radio or rom, make sure you read through the Wiki first. IF you do this and dont read through the instructions first, you can ruin your phone.
I don't know who your carrier is, but there is a one year warranty with at$t. Unless it is carelessness. i.e. LIberal application of oil.
but like the previous poster stated, more than likely it is software. Please provide a little more information. What rom, radio and apps do you have installed?
Hi all,
I have just bought a Galaxy S on eBay, and it's locked to Three (in the UK btw). Whilst I wait for the unlock code (I'm on an O2 sim only contract), I thought I'd ask people for their advice on whether I should stick to the Three ROM, or should I root it and put a base Samsung ROM on it?
Also - what does this mean for me in terms of upgrades (thinking Froyo obviously). Do I need to get a Three specifics upgrade, and how do I get that if I'm not a Three customer?
I have searched the forum, and read lots of discussions of ROMs, but was hoping for some advice for my situation from any of the hugely experienced peeps on here.
Cheers,
James.
start with the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
it has everything you need to know, including the unlock code
the best advice is to not go crazy on the ROMs unless you want to fix something in specific
Thanks for that. I read that unlock stuff, but unfortunately as I don't have a Three SIM, I can't get onto the market to download the necessary stuff.
I do think it's a bit strange you can't sign into your google account etc over wifi, but figure that's partly how they keep the phone locked to a provider.
James.
that doesn't sounds right
i always unlock and download the rooting stuff over WiFi
i don't even need to use the phone as a mass storage device, because WiFi works right off the bat
what happens when you try to go on the internet using WiFi?
are you able to go to Cnn.com or google.com login to your gmail account in the phone browser?
Hi Allgamer,
thanks for your reply - sorry I've not responded till now!
I could connect to the internet, but not sign into my google account. Don't know what the problem was, but I got round it by performing a factory reset of the phone.
All sorted now.
I do still have an issue with some 3 apps like Skype starting themselves up and consuming resources, despite the fact I can't use them over the O2 network
Loving the phone otherwise though. I've rooted it and installed the OneClickLagFix. Waiting eagerly for Froyo though.
Alright, I've read the forum rules and I've scowered XDA forums for all the different problems I've had on my Galaxy Tab and I fear I've just made it worse. I purchased a refurbished TAB from AT&T. I decided to use it for a while to make sure it's all good before I hack the heck out of it. (good idea) I found that after a while, if I have bluetooth enabled the device would act like the CPU is pegged at 100% and could barely run. If I got BT disabled, it would run fine again. I decided to call AT&T which was a mistake in the first place. After 5 call transfers and a very rude AT&T rep telling me I have to talk to Samsung, I hung up. I decided to flash the rom myself to try and get rid of the problem (bad flash?). I flashed ROTO's roms and now every rom I flash, any rom I can get my hands on, has the Back Button problem. It's like It's holding down the back key. I wanted to send it in for repair (after googling and realizing that alot of samsung products have this problem) but realized that I unlocked my bootloader and can't go back to an original rom Does anyone have a rotobackup of an AT&T tab I could use? Or maybe should I brick the device and send it in? saying it was a bad kies flash? Any help would be appreciated. Also, if there is an original AT&T rom out there I could put back I would, but I can't find it. I've been on samfirmware.com and the like to no avail. Thanks Again!

One of the gingerbread roms may work by upgrading the bootloadwr (at your own risk)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hey Thanks
hey thanks, i have tried that rom. the euro gingerbread rom was actually the first one that i tried and the first one that gave me problems. I actually bricked it trying to flash another rom and so I just said to heck with it and sent it in. worst case is they fix it and charge me? do they warranty their fix if I pay for it? I mean if they just reflash it and don't fix the hardware issue (which i know there is one) will they fix it again?
I managed to get hold of a pre-production Xperia T with a non-production ROM on it, it was pretty rubbish so in my haste I decided to flash the O2 branded stock rom over the top of it but now unfortunately the phone functionality no longer seems to want to work, also there is no IMEI either or other relevant information and it doesn't recognise the SIM in it anymore.
I'm wondering if i've totally fluffed this? As a bit of a noob (hence the name) I didn't backup the rom that was on it or anything, and i've just written over the top but now the device is no longer functioning as a phone (although everything else functions fine).
Is it a possibility that this is protection put in place by Sony to stop people getting their hands on prototypes or is it simply that i've missed something out / done it wrong? When i tried to restore the phone in Sony Companion it told me I wasn't allowed to restore a brown phone from my IP address, making me think this could actually be because it's running on some older / different hardware but the fact now that I have no IMEI, no working radio on it makes me think i've bricked it as a phone.
Is this a common thing / has anyone seen this before / have i just created a very expensive paperweight?
Any help you could provide would be invaluable
Thanks
More googling has told me a brown phone is basically a developer phone, as such if i flash a retail ROM on it have i ruined it as a phone? thanks to my impetuousness i didn't save the old rom either
well you can try to go to the sony service center for them to repair.
Hi all! I apologize in advance for my English. This evening I tried to install a custom rom to my Pixel 4XL. I don't know what I did, but after installed the custom rom and Gapps, after setted up network Google says: "This device belongs to your organization" but it's my phone, not of my company. What can I do? It's really strange, never happened to me.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, but I bought it from Refurbed in January 2022. No problems since yesterday, when I tried to install ProtonAOSP (but I had already LineageOS, so I already have BL unlocked and everything) and it gave me this "error" I hope I didn't quacked up something

Try to get refund from seller. It was stolen from an organization and probably no way to fix it. Many such threads for same reason here on XDA.

Yeah i saw them :/ But Is it possible to lock it after 1 year? It seems so strange
I solved thanks to this guy https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/this-device-is-managed-by-your-organization.4144449/post-86443873 maybe something with that recovery quacked up some configuration. I marked this thread as Solved. Thank you!
No, after 30 minutes it appears again. I will open a ticket to Refurbed
same issue. i bought a pixel 4xl , android 11 ,the previous owner selled it because it was "managed by your organization" with oem locking option greyed out ...so he could do nothing, and it was very cheap so i bought from him (about $40 so even if i couldnt unlock it , i repair cellphones myself so i can sell the screen replacement, it is worth more than that) anyways i did manage to stop the message and the phone is fully functional, (it is my main personal phone now) .the package u have to uninstall via adb is com.google.android.apps.work.oobconfig even i delete all packages with the word "verizon" just in case
now the same guy selling another , so u can imagine how happy i was but then the phone arrives and this time it runs android 12, ive tried everything, that trick does nothing now, seems like they fixed, ive tried several times, deleting many more packages, everything that has "vendor" "carrier" "verizon" "companion" "providers" and every package that seems suspicious to me, but no, the only way to stop the message is to delete the play service package (com.google.android.gms) but then u can do nothing google related. and you can use it for days but at the moment you install google play services from apk, the phone restart and factory reset.
im clueless. if someone want me to try anything i will do, dont care much about brick or else, since the motherboard have no value for me in the current status
is there a way to debrand pixel from Verizon? Has someone tried to install Global firmware on verizon locked device?
