Hi, I REALLY need help, I bought a new Note 9 N960F. I was playing around with some ROMS and after I flashed the unofficial Lineage ROM my phone boots forever. I have no way to power off the device, if I could I could just flash a different ROM, but I have a no way to get into recovery mode. Soft resetting my device doesnt help either it just starts the boot again. I own the Exynos model. Someone PLEASE help me!!

the bootloader is looping and not acctualy shutting down. that's why you cant go back in twrp.. well you can but you think that you cant.
either wait till it runs out of battery (once it's dead charge it for 10 mins then go to recovery directly) or if you're quick enough:
hold the combination buttons to shut it down( bxb + vol down + pwr) for about 4 or 5 seconds and switch quickly to the recovery position( bxb + vol up + pwr ) rince and repeat. eventually you'll get the timing right.

Sorry slightly of topic , been a while since owning a sammy, my question on boot up there is a padlock animation that's open does this mean the bootloader is unlocked or the device is network unlocked , tia

The lock icon means your phone is no longer offical. Samsung started doing that on note 4. Most roms or TWRP have this patched. That's what the lock means, not that bootloader is unlocked.

D/L this app from the Google Play Store (Phone INFO) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
In the general section, if it says anything but Knox 0x0,you've been sold a previously owned/used phone.
There's also a refurbishment check in the app as well, but,that alone isn't an indication of the real condition, just more information to arm yourself with on a warranty/return claim if it does indicate that the phone has been refurbished.

Good deal.
Then, is there any way you can upload a screen shot or picture of the screen you mentioned?
Not really as its when phone boots up after the Samsung logo it's a black screen with a coloured green/yellow ish padlock that turns I'n animation and it appears to look like a unlocked padlock then phone just starts up normally after 20s or so on that animation , from previous experience going back to older devices it normally means unlocked bootloader but since I've only had phone couple days and not attempted any unlock or modifications I just assumed it mean its factory sim unlocked, tia

I've never seen that before... Perhaps it's carrier specific, or, something that's on some SIM Free phones.
(FWIW, I have a T-Mobile US Note 9 that is SIM Unlocked & I've had both carrier & US Unlocked firmware installed & never saw that animation)
Perhaps someone else can chime in & we'll get back to being on-topic (my apologies to @Synotic. for topic drift).

i think of it as a Safety switch
even if it's EU ROM
once you revive your phone with it, then you can change to any other ROM you want

with normal method
Turn off phone....Hold vol up/down plug in USB it will access download mode

never mind, confirmed
it does work
it acts like the 3 button combo in the USA Galaxy S
volume up + volume down + USB
no need for Power button like the other models
hmm... the only annoying thing is, to get out of DOWNLOAD MODE, you have to take out the battery.
on the Galaxy S you can hold Power until it turns off
Yep that's the one ! :0

No warranty?
If not.. output of fastboot getvar all ?
Also.. was this phone modified?
Lastly.. if this happened only after you dropped it, hardware problem!

It sounds like you damaged the sim tray/socket so that the sim card can't make good contact with the phone. It should be fixable, though I don't know what it would cost.

you don't see IMEI, etc, in Settings -> About?
but doing a "fastboot getvar all" shows your baseband?
if yes, then you need to run an ruu, if they still don't come back after full ruu, then I would say it's a hardware problem
Good Luck
Ok , i have opened it and it seems difficult to remove the sim tray socket it is weld with the front panel

I've only seen two versions of this (but unlike you, they had no apparent reason why it happened):
1- full ruu, and it fixed the missing IMEI IMSI baseband etc -> good
2- even with full ruu, nada, still missing -> hardware problem, off to repair
don't know if fixing the sim tray will work.
sorry
Well thank you for helping me , one thing i need to know , do the RUU need to be the same os version as the phone os ex: 1.26.502.12 RUU and the phone is 4.11.409.1

if you're S-Off, then any ruu should be OK (use one for the same MID as your phone, don't bother changing MID), and CID won't matter once you set it to SuperCID or CID(s) that matches the ruu
hopefully, (once flashed successfully, and updated/downgraded everything) it will also reinitialize some of the corrupted partitions.

So my situation is that I have previously bricked my phone, sent it to HTC for flashing and now after that, I am unable to install the OTA update for Sense 6. The download is fine, verification is fine, only at the installation part where the blue bar will go up to about 30+% then it will give me a red exclaimation mark error where it will then restart and the version will be as of before.
Things I've tried: clearing Updater cache and resetting phone both didn't work. I saw something about resetting the cache in the recovery or something but I realised that I have no recovery in my bootloader. Is that normal or is that something HTC forgot to add in after they reflash the rom for me?
Thanks for any help given.

Do you have access to someone elses device, the calc and flashlght were initially in the data partition, so you can copy from them. There are blown away when you unlock the boot loader.

this is really odd.. none of the links in the thread seem to be working (The dropbox ones at least) however I've just downloaded a SkyDragon M7 v2.0 ROM, is it possible to extract the .apk files from there instead? sorry for the late reply, btw, Tapatalk didn't notify me..

Went to the Verizon store to get my droid unlocked only to have the tech people there input different codes that did not work and the security feature unexplained. I went to try the sim and within a few tries it was locked.
Tech support has given me the sim network code that goes with the phone now that it is subsidy locked.

you mean unlocked?
I have looked at the steps on Sd Shadow's site about flashing and rooting the phone and have gone so far as to download and install the motorola drivers (signed by microsoft?). The device now shows in device manager as an ADA interface.
I have tried flashing with rsd lite, only to hear several sounds as if the device is reconnecting and see flash failure at 6/18 partition.
Am I using an incomplete .Xml?
The Fast boot version is 0A.53 and the xml downloaded from http...........://......................motofirmware.center/files/ was
VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.xml.zip

That should be fine, did you verify md5 checksum?
Haven't seen anyone trying to unblock for use with Pure Talkusa. I don't know if it makes any difference what third-party carrier i decide to go with.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The carrier must use bands that are compatible with the Droid 3
see TECHNOLOGY section http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-DROID-3_id5305
and see if bands match the carrier you want to use.
I have used three different cords for the flashing, one of them does not "wiggle" in the ports like the others, but it is an older cord.
I am using Windows 7

The phone had become locked by the time I knew what to ask for.
Codes match. I am using Rsd lite v.6.1.5. I remember seeing somewhere that it will work with that carrier. I can't post pictures, but Rsd shows "N/A" for all the device properties, though in the bottom box under model it shows "fastboot CDMA_solana s"
Could this be a driver's issue. Too many extra non Motorola drivers? I installed the remaining network adaptor and modem drivers.

That should be correct. You only need to use RSD Lite, if you have a custom rom installed, or the phone will not boot correctly.
If stock rom is work goodm you can skip to next step
Root

I have rooted. Verizon is not giving out any pin numbers that will work. Is there a software work around for this Sim Network Unlock Pin? There is no contract for the droid 3. I picked it up on Amazon. I can still access the menus.

i may have misunderstood,
you have tried unlock codes?
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
if you are seeing "The phone is subsidy locked. Please contact...",
an incorrect code was entered too many times, and the phone has locked you out.
even if to get the enter code screen again, and have the correct unlock code, I don't think it will work.
Because of the way the phone was locked, every droid 3 has 3 or more possible unlock codes, only one of them will actually work.
there is no point entering the same code more than twice.

Verizon did give me an 8 digit pin. As of now I do not have root access with the droid 3.

Just rooted it with the 1 click root by http.......//www.psouza4.com/droid3/unbrick.htm
Unless that isnt a real root process.
I am thinking that it is likely that once it is subsidy locked no other codes will work.

★ What do you mean by "Safe Upgrade"?
The latest N910VVRU2BOG5 bootloader is incremented; i.e., if you take the OTA or flash the official firmware via Odin, you won't be able to downgrade.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: If the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition.

Yup. It's the best device available considering Note 5 as a downgrade except for the design that most users cover with a case anyway!

Under special instructions, it says to flash the OAF bootloader if coming from Kit Kat (I'm on NJ5). When are we supposed to do this? After we flash the OG5 stockrestore and reboot?

1st, that'sonly for the retail edition. Then, you can do it anytime to fix the auto-brightness issues with KK bootloader. That being said, it's recommended to flash OG5 stock restore & reboot again to download mode to flash OAF bootloader, before the 1st boot.
Okay that's what I was going to do. So I'd be fine to stay on my current bootloader if I don't care about the auto brightness?

Yes, but why?
I guess as long as it is still able to be downgraded, it doesn't matter. It's not like the new one would help me in any way though.

For some reason I thought that flashing the BOG5 upgrade would wipe the whole phone and reset me to a literal "factory fresh" state. But apparently, it left EVERYTHING in tact, but DID still do the upgrade. I wanted to start fresh so I could go back to a clean system and start over. So I had to do a factory reset. No biggie. Just wanted a clean slate. Looks like Im back up and running smooth. I was on BOAF bootloader already, so I didnt flash the bootloader again this time. I should still be good, right? Havent checked the bootloader post-flash yet.
Also @hsbadr, do you mind if I mirror your Safe Upgrade files on my website/server? Always ask before I do anything. Links to my site in my signature. Also, I can include any direct links back here, or two another location of your choosing. All proper credits given.

NP! If you followed OP instructions, you'll wipe data (factory reset) in recovery, before 1st boot.
I actually did a factory reset AFTER first boot. Any real difference in effectiveness? Seems to be good.
Im taking it thats a YES on mirroring your files? Just making sure. lol

OK, so I've started to upload all 5 stock firmwares (ANI1 through BOG5), as well as both Safe Upgrades by @hsbadr (BOF1 and BOG5). At the speed of my home cable, it will take at least a day, maybe more. Still working on the site layout, instructions, and links. When its finished, I will post a link to the site as well as directly to the Note 4 section.

Yes, but all the info that I'm adding to my site, is scattered throughout various threads and other webpages. I'm making a centralized location for everything. No more mass bookmarks, remembering threads, and since my site is highly optimized, it should save a LOT of data for those that browse on their phone. I also re-compressed all the huge files, shrinking them by about 300MB each to save some bandwidth.
Just picked up a note4 yesterday, it has N910VVRU2BOF1 on it and there is an OTA I'm not taking. I'm guessing the OTA is 2BOG5?
Anyway, will this work for me coming from a stock/retail N910VVRU2BOF1 phone?
Thanks in advance!
