To make a long story short, a relative bought a phone off ebay that was in Retail/Demo mode and I was tasked with trying to get it out of that state by flashing a different stock ROM onto it. I used to have absolutely no issue before with older phones, but, after a few softboots with no success, I've eventually ended up reaching this far in nuking the phone, and even the IMEI in download mode is showing a 0 (though I'm not sure if that wasn't always like that).
From what I've seen the phone is certainly the Snapdragon variant, and yet there was no way to activate OEM unlocking within the phone. I know this situation is rather insane and I could be SOL but here's to hoping someone could point me in a direction to help fix this thing. I haven't tried flashing the unofficial TWRP in fear that it's going to screw over my recovery (in which I forgot to mention it works perfectly fine at the moment). Alongside with the security error, I have the secure check fail with modem displaying as well. Is there a certain ROM version that might help? I've attached a screenshot that I took right before I fell into the abyss, so hopefully that'll help (unless you can't see it out of me being new). Thanks for any replies in advance.

i get this in the device properties....and it will not boot past the white m symbol
please help
anybody ? please
I'm pretty sure I've had this and just went through with flashing anyway. Maybe I'm mistaken and if you don't want to risk it, wait for more opinions.
What's happening when you choose a *.sbf for flashing?

i tried flashing anyway but still the device doesn't pass the white m symbol
Which drivers do you have?

do you have a different pc to try it on? rsdlite works on my laptopn while it doesnt really work on my moms for some reason. id try it on a different pc first. next i'd like to know what sbf file your trying to flash. it could be corrupt or something, try a test with another sbf file like from peter alfonsos site and see if it works.
***wow, apparently i have to wait 5 whole minutes before posting becuase im apparently a "new" user whos been here since may of 2010... i guess i should crank out more posts heh? (looks at watch, seems to be January 2 of 2012 )
You won't be able to initiate the flash process until the phone boots directly into bootloader mode, which involves a mostly black screen with small white text. Keep trying while holding down the proper buttons and you should be able to get there.

Same thing happened to me flashing a Tmobile rom. To prevent this you need to go through the setting and allow unlocked bootloaders (or something like that, currently flashing my phone to look it up) but this will prevent this lock from triggering. How I got past this? Odin'd back to stock and flashed everything again.
Bro phone doesn't go to main windows how I can go to setting it's only stuck on bootloop
Have you tried flashing the stock image in odin?
Stock rom from sammobile?
Yeah, you'll need to get familar with the hardware keys and how to boot into download mode with them. Typically I'd link you with instructions but I think googling it yourself will do you some good. Do some research and be sure to answer nicely to those who offer help.
I bought a Note 5 from my work yesterday (I work at rent a center, it was a charged off and recovered stolen phone) Went to flash a stock rom on it so I could access developer options and it failed to the point I have to system recovery triangle.
I can find plenty of SM-n920c form wares and am pretty sure I got the wrong one. Only numbers I have on hand are:
N920CXXU2BPBA any ideas as to the csc code from that?
Keis and Smart Switch say it can't be recognized so they have been no help as well

Your awesome. I'll find it and download when I get home from work
That worked! Thanks so much
Hello everyone. I'm sure many people are having problems with their Note8s specially after receiving updates. Mine also did broke at some point where I lost the track. What I have done to try to fix it so far is;
Went into download mode - had this ;

I think the phone is in Egypt variant since it says carrier ID is Egypt?
For the Recovery mode I had these;
So as you see, I tried many things to fix this without sending it to SC since I live in North Cyprus. I'm pretty sure that it is not hardware related but more likely a software stuff. Any ideas to fix this? Thanks.
Btw, I am not sure if the images are visible or not, can someone leave me a feedback please?

They should be fixed now, thanks for the feedback
i got the problem too
No one has any idea about how to fix this instead of sending phone to Samsung Care? Like draining the battery completely etc? Or possible software conflicts? Since I have updated to bootlader 6, I cannot go back to 5 either.
Hi to all, hope someone can help us. I'm not new on updating custom firmware on smartphone but is quite a time that I did not tinkered with some device, and never played with a XIAOMI (I suppose that every brand has his peculiarities).
My sister has a XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 11S (i suppose by the model number on the back cover 2201117SY), so I hope to be posting on the right area.
It is a stock smartphone, no modification, root or other. At one point it bricked by itself and it is stuck at the boot with the MI logo.

(my apologize for the bad photo made by my sister)
our priority is to recover the data from the phone (files, images, etc.)
Then we can send it to the support or we can try to recover it with the powerful tools I will find here on the forum.
But as told our priority is to recover the data.
There is some tool that we can connect to the phone and try to recover the data without risking to wipe it (if there is still data accessible on the phone)?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: my sister, tinkering with volup+power can reach the Recovery menu
for sure wipe data will do exactly what we do not want.
I'm not sure if safe mode will boot into a usable state without wiping the data. Someone can confirm this?
We will not proceed until we will be sure of the correct procedure.
Thanks again.
