Issue with my phone system software - Off-topic

Hello,
I cannot turn on my phone, the only screen I can get says: "System Software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." I went to the store and they didn't have any clue. I've read a few things online in these forums and checked system software examples but they were really technical and I wasn't sure what to make of them. I'm just trying to not lose everything that is on my phone.
Any and all help would be HUGELY appreciated, again I am absolutely clueless as to the technical workings of smart phones.
Thanks so much.

Help needed to read EMMC - Will pay for a solution

I'm facing a problem that I am unable to solve for a while. I need to read a KMN5X000ZM-B209 EMMC from a Nokia Lumia Windows 8 phone, and so far I have been unable to do so. The EMMC contains vital data that I cannot afford to loose.
I have purchased both the Easy JTAG Box and the Advance Box. I have seen this exact EMMC type being mentioned in the 12.40 update for Advance Box, but I have been unable to read it yet. I received a wiring diagram for the EMMC in another topic, although I have not been able to verify it, and had a specialist do the soldering work to connect the EMMC. So far, without success. I am either getting 0x5E5E5E responses from the ATF Box, and a general error message from the Easy JTAG Box.
I have contacted the shop and the company of the Advance Box, but they haven't responded to my e-mails asking for any paid service anywhere in the world to make this work. So all I'm stuck with is a bunch of expensive hardware, no manual, no clear error message, and no support from both the shop and the creators.
If anyone has a fail-safe method to read the full EMMC, without any risk of damaging it, I am willing to pay good money. In fact, I am flat out offering $1000 right now to the person or company that can prove to me that they can safely do it, and of course after receiving the full EMMC dump.
I live in The Netherlands, but I am willing to travel anywhere, as long as success can be guaranteed. If the software settings are to be checked, I can do video chat (Skype or otherwise) and will also pay for your help if any significant progress is made. If I need different hardware, different software or different wiring of the EMMC that can also be arranged.
As you can read above, I am quite desperate for a solution at this point. If you can help me, or know someone who can, please respond to this post or in a PM.
Thank you!

T-Mobile Z1S Screen cracked

Hey Guys,
I have a Z1S T-Mobile phone. Earlier this week, I managed to somehow crack the screen. Now, the phone doesn't respond to touch.
I was in the process of filing a claim to have it replaced, however, my account still have my phone on it. Therefore, in order to add it, I need the IMEI number.
Therefore, my questions to you are as follows:
Is there a folder which holds that info that I can access to see it? My research showed info for changing it, which I don't want to do. I simply want to know what it is so I can add it to my account.
Besides from using an adapter, is there any other way to access the screen (settings, apps, etc)? I am currently using Air Droid, which saved me A TON in that I can at least access my text messages ad such, but I also wanted to check into some apps, and even the settings if possible.
Lastly, are there any reliable, affordable nationwide repair service out there? I now have 4 phones that need a fix or another, and I just wanted to see if I can bulk-fix them, rather than buy the parts online and scramble through tutorials.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
The imei should be written on a little pull out flag thing just next to where you insert your sim card

S6 G920A USA AT&T Software update frozen but i can't stop it

Hi I have a Galaxy S6 G920A and in applications manager...running there is an AT&T Software update and to the left is an exclamation point and up and down blue and red arrows. The Stop and Report option are greyed out. It's 5.7MB and under services it says DMService. Under processes it says com.ws.dm and Main process in use.
I took it to the AT&T Warranty place and he did a factory reset deeper than I did, which he said erases the registry. He said it would clear this frozen update.
Then without checking since I couldn't log into my Samsung acct I left the store but when i got into the Phone the update is still there.
How can I stop this update, or go back to an earlier update? I was told varying answers to this question by several different stores: that I could plug my phone into a computer (never done that, sounds scary) and revert it that way; and that I couldn't go back in time i.e. updates.
I was having very poor cell phone signal and Warranty guy said it was because I had Enhanced LTE selected. So I turned that off and am trying to call people to test, but in the meantime I'm writing you good people to see if anyone can help. Thanks a ton for reading this and helping.
Maybe do i clear a cache? How do i do that?

[Solved] RAC lock on a used phone, need help accessing phone

Hello all,
I have been all around the intertubes in my day and have always been able to solve all of my technical problems with some advanced google searching, because if I am having this problem then someone out there has had it also and thought to ask right?
Not this time...
I bought this phone off craigslist, checked imei and it came back clean, got the phone running on t-mobile no problems at all, about 2 weeks later I get this RAC (Rent-A-Center) logo saying this phone won't work anymore yadayadayada, please call us with IMEI....my thoughts are someone sold me a phone they were leasing from RAC for a quick buck. I turned the phone on and it literally would not lot me access a single setting. Came up to an unlock screen wanting a Rent A Center associate PIN. I walked on down to RAC on my day off and they couldn't help me at all. They didn't even ask for the phone back, they informed me that the phone was "junk" and they couldn't even find out who it previously belonged to let alone unlock it for me (they didn't seem too interested in the latter).
I decided to take matters into my own hands and attempt to resolve this issue, no help what so ever out there. Plenty of RAC lock fixes for the s5 and other android phones but no specific help for my model. I attempt stock firmware through ODIN to no avail, then TWRP, custom roms, etc, etc etc, and it always comes up with the RAC lock screen.
I need help please, otherwise i'm out $325
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6
Model: SM-G920T1 (as it says on back of phone)
USA Market
Any other information needed I am happy to supply.
If anyone could please help me with this issue, I would be more than happy. I finally made the switch back to android and this is how it is going so far. Thank you for any help anyone could offer.

Activation & stuck on Talkback

Have a phone for my girl that is on a talkback screen and cannot get passed this to even engage usb debugging. Phone is supposed to be carrier unlocked (formerly on att) and not stolen. have a sim card for straight talk but activation will not go thru and continuously goes back to asking for the former owners gmail information, which is not available. Would really appreciate some help, my girl is a little frustrated without having the phone she paid for. Never encountered this before with any HTC devices. If I have overlooked this information then my apologies and thanks in advance for all information.
