Hello, I bought a note 5 from a guy for 50 bucks but it's stuck on the Google set up wizard because he factory reset the phone.
Unfortunately the usb debugging wasn't on and I don't think he had the dev mode on either. Is there anything i could do?
Can I root the phone via Odin and just flash a certain apk or something? Please help!!
Also, the phone as of tonight is stuck on a boot loop.
Side note, oem unlock wasn't turned on as well. Is there any way I can root this phone even if I can't get pass the new android device protection system?

Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active (SM-G890A) (AT&T) That I recently requested a sim unlock code for through AT&T. After I received the code, I inputted it upon the prompt, And after it accepted it, the phone froze and rebooted about 5 times or so, then got stuck on AT&T logo. I booted the phone into recovery mode and wiped the cache and factory resetted it. Now the phone just hangs immediately on the Samsung logo screen. I cannot boot into recovery mode, or safe mode. ODIN mode can still be accessed. Please note that the phone has never been rooted or had a custom ROM flashed on it. This phone has not had service for about a year now, So I cannot take it to AT&T. I wanted the phone unlocked so I could use it as a backup phone.
Same problem here, but mine seems stuck in bootloop, I'm trying some things for now, hope I can make it work again...

Similar problem here. But my screen stopped working too. I hear the Samsung logo sound. Sometimes the logo sound is completely played sometimes the phone seems to restart just in the middle of it. It seems to hang in a loop, its doing that as long as has battery and only stops as soon the blue light is out too. I can't shut it down with the keys.
There are a lot of photos on it. It would be nice to get them from the phone somehow.
I hope someone can help me.
I have an old galaxy note GT-N7000 which I still use and it’s rooted. Recently it has been giving me issues so I decided to do a factory reset which I thought would just fix everything. However, it just got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy note screen. It also only boots into download mode, not recovery mode & I have tried all the tricks and still it will not boot to the home screen.
I have downloaded a stock N7000 stock rom to flash back to stock, the Jodin program, including the pit file, but as soon as it connects and tells me to press start, all it says is running but does nothing. It will not allow me to flash anything.
Any idea why it’s stuck on the boot screen and how can I fix this? Should I have wiped something before doing a factory reset, as I don’t have a clue. Also if it’s best that I put a latest rom on it, I’ll be cool with it, as long as I can get it working again
Cheers for any help guys...
Thanks

My friends note 8 got stuck in a bootloop after an update and debugging isnt turned on. Shes wanting to recover her pictures before doing a factory reset. Is there a way to boot in safe mode or anything like that to recover files? Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi,
so I rooted my Samsung Note 9 successfully and used it for over 6 months, and for some reason I wanted to unroot the device, I uninstalled Magisk and then unchecked the OEM unlocking, it asked me to completely factory reset the device, I proceeded after verifying my Samsung Account, now my phone won't boot and it says 'Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". So I thought I have to Flash the Stock ROM on it and it will work but now my phone is not going into Odin Mode, I have tried all the button combinations. Important to note here is that upon pressing the power button the phone is not showing the Samsung logo (powered by android) thing either. Please help me with what should I do to install the stock ROM.
Thanks
Hello all,
I have been using my Pixel 4 XL for years, and all of a sudden it shut down, and now it keeps being stuck in a booting loop.
I get to Google's logo and the loading animation ... and then it turns black, and starts all over, in a loop.
I am able to access the bootloader and recovery mode.
I tried a complete wipe through recovery mode, didn't change anything.
I wanted to flash original images, but the bootloader is locked and I haven't found any way to unlock it without going through the phone settings (which doesn't boot anymore).
All fastboot flashing related commands fail stating my device is locked.
Would you have any suggestion ?
Anything I should try before considering my device is completely dead ?
Thanks in advance

Try sideloading an OTA image. You can do that with a locked bootloader.
Thanks Lughnasadh
I've tried multiple times, and the process fails randomly, at different percentages ...
The phone suddenly reboots and the laptop displays " adb: failed to read command: No error"
The weird thing is it doesn't reboot and can stay up for super long while on the bootloader.
With a locked bootloader the rescue OTA (full OTA image flashed via adb) is all you have. I would try a different data cable (A-to-C) first and then move to a different computer. Make sure the new PC is running the latest adb/fastboot binaries. This is why I unlock the bootloader on every Pixel in my family. Even though they will never root the phone, if the fit hits the shan you have many more options. BTW, I just traded in my son's P4XL and got $285 trade-in on a 6a. Net cost was less than $150. The deal just ended but will likely come back again. Same deal was offered earlier but included a pair of first-gen earbuds. Wish you luck on getting your old phone working. The P4XL is still my primary phone and is still working well.
