Well, I screwed up trying to root. And I'm willing to pay someone to help me fix it.

After a series of poorly judged flashes and (eventually) factory resets in the name of acquiring root, I am left with a stock S6 that gets no service whatsoever. Knox is tripped. The phone shows 5 bars but will not connect to 4G, GSM, CDMA, nor will it send/receive anything unless it's connected to Wifi and uses wifi calling.
I've been trying to fix this since 11pm last night and I am extremely frustrated. I would love to pay someone who has a clear understanding of these things to hold my hand through getting this thing working again. I have passed the point where my skills can help me.

Have you put in your phone companies apn settings ?

Have you tried to Odin back to stock? It sounds like you flashed a custom recovery; what exactly did you do?

Yes, the APN settings are correct. I entered them manually in a second profile, but they were prepopulated as well. Neither makes a difference. I get "Not registered on network" when I try to make a call. When I try to have the phone detect TMobile's network, it says "Unable to select network. Select automatically".
The big issue is, I'm fairly certain the first thing I flashed was not meant for this phone...smh. I was able to Odin back to stock. Before and after multiple factory resets and cache wipes (though no settting for Dalvik cache in recovery...does this mean anything?) everything works fine except I have no service.

Try and toggle Airplane mode on and off? Also if you were on Wifi with Wifi calling disable both of those for the time being. Last case would be to odin factory firmware.

yes, i've tried that. i've tried removing the sim card for a few minutes to no avail.
with wifi and wifi calling on, the phone functions as normal but as soon as that's off, everything stops working.

I don't trust Odin to wipe everything it should.
Download a rooted stock rom. Then go into recovery, mount /system and wipe /system, cache & data, then flash the rom. Finish the setup wizard and try to make a call without wifi. If you cannot, verify APN is correct.
You could have a bad sim card. Sim cards die just like any other piece of electronics. Go to T-Mobile and swap sim cards, they should do it for free.
Edit: I just realized you are probably still on stock recovery. Root your system, flash twrp, then nuke the phone in recovery and start from scratch.
I assume you already tried restoring a nandroid. If that doesn't work and you can't make calls after restoring via Odin or flashing another rom, then you may have corrupted the EFS partition. The only way to recover from that is if you backed up your original EFS partition. A lot of people don't bother, but it is a critical step before flashing your first mod.

..

thank you so much for the advice. i'm trying this now.

okay, i do think it's possible that i corrupted the EFS partition. however, in download mode, the IMEI number it displays is correct.
i am able to get the phone rooted and twrp installed, but once i try to flash the rooted stock rom, i get a "error executing updater binary in zip". not sure how to proceed.
i may abandon the phone altogether and just order an insurance replacement :-/

With knox tripped gooood luck. Also, did u have an EFS backup?

That error message means the rom zip is looking for a different device code than the one you are trying to flash it on. Where did you get the rom file? Are you sure it is correct for your S6?

I feel bad for you - but very curious about one thing - I thought I read the thread carefully and never noticed a response to the question - "Did you try to odin back to Stock?"
Samsung phones are amazingly resilient - and under most conditions (unless you the phone is really totally FUBARed ) odining back to stock cures 99% of all problems - at least that I have seen. And except in one instance with the NOTE 3 (after it's initial release) Odining the stock rom usually fixes the problem every time. The note three was an unusual circumstance in my memory - and it happend to a bunch of people - I actually screwed up two phones and returned them both to get replacements - Odin would not fix the problem because one of the particians or maybe all of them had been corrupted) but you had an IMEI where I did not - so I don't think that was your issue (although, I may be wrong)
anyway, I can understand your frustration - I have been there my self - but usually cooler heads (the people at XDA) have helped me to find the solution that eventually worked - did you try to ODIN back to Stock? If that did not work then returning the phone may have been your only option - but I would love to know if you did try that option?

[HOW TO] Fix GPS location/locking to satellites issue

Hi all !
Since a week, i had a GPS problem with my i9305, it happened after i had flashed couple of AOSP roms, i dont know after which one it was exactly, the problem was that it couldnt get a lock onto my location, also couldnt find any satellites in any GPS fix/testing apps avaialable in the playstore, it was showing the blinking GPS icon on the left side in the statusbar, but there was no lock, it was endlessly blinking/searching for nothing.. Ive switched many times between AOSP and Samsung based roms, but this was the first time i encountered this kind of problem, which took me a week to figure out how to fix it :silly:
I tried many possible solutions such as, full wiping the rom, factory resetting within the settings, flashing back to STOCK rom with Odin, tightening the screws in the back of the phone, resetting and updating AGPS, changing GPS related files and libs in the rom, trying different roms etc. etc. with all to no avail !!
Then i did some research on the net and found the solution that worked for me, surprisingly it did even fix GLONASS that wasnt working before the problem occured, now GPS works perfectly fine!
SOLUTION:
1. first we need to enter service mode, this may differ for various android versions (4.3 - 4.4.4 - 5.1.1 etc.) just search for the right method if it is different. I did this on my android 4.4.4 KK ported note4 rom (Eclipse ROM)
Note: be sure the rom your doing this on, has the ServiceModeApp(_RIL).apk installed in system/priv-app, otherwise you wont be able to get in service mode!
Note: also if you dont have a sim password set, your phone might get sim locked, so set a pin password before doing this, afterwards you can always disable it again if you want..
2. in dial pad enter *#0011# to get in service mode
3. to unlock the main menu: press menu --> press back --> press menu --> press key input --> enter Q0 --> press ok and wait for the main menu to appear
4. now, press UMTS --> press COMMON --> press NV REBUILD --> press Restore Back-up
5. your device should now be rebooting and after that GPS issue should be fixed hopefully test your GPS with any app from the playstore..
Steps 3 and 4 pictures:

Yep, same thing, different procedure :good:

I really appreciate you sharing the fix. I've spent the best part of today trying to find a solution to this, and have taken my S3 apart more than once.
I even think I tried this fix earlier on my non-stock ROM and it didn't work.
Worked for me on the stock 4.4.4 ROM for EE.

GPS problem fixed
Hey,
and thank you soooo much for your helping advice
I did like you said and voila, GPS problem is history.
But what problem I still have is that I can´t flash any 5.x.x custom ROMs. Flashing goes well, but when it is time to reboot, my i9305 stuck to somekind of loop. I can flash stock ROM 4.4.4 and custom ROMs 4.4.4 as well, but Lollipop doesn´t work.
First time I had this problem was when I flashed some 5.1 ROM ( I don´t remember what was it ) But in that ROM suddenly happen that "Google services has stopped" or something like that. I couldn´t do nothing with phone. That error came again and again to phone´s screen..
So I was in situation that I had to flash stock 4.4.4 stock ROM. eveything went well, but GPS didn´t work anymore. Then I found your advice and I thought that now I can again flash custom ROMs as well. Flashing any custom 5.x.x ROM goes well, but in reboot, pghone stuck to loop.
Or had I wait longer in first time I reboot phone after flash?
Thank you so much in advance

I don't know if it is related to your problem, but I had many problems with 5.X.X builds boot looping because of wrong gapps package. For example, using PA gapps with CM12.1 or Resurrection Remix causes a bootloop, but just flashing the rom and rebooting doesn't cause any bootloop at all. You might want to flash just the rom and let it boot. Cheers

Can you confirm that your IMEI is really f***ed by flashing this zip file in recovery? Always helped me to bring back my IMEI (uploading to Gdrive ATM)
Edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9NUrR6bPQUxT2R6cWNiNHBTdjg/view?usp=sharing here you go.

I fixed it by flashing an official stock rom but thanks any way

Thank god for this fix, had to do it manually coz flashing the zip in recovery didn't work out for me. Thanks!

GPS Fix still works

Thanks so much! This worked for me on AMCHA Rom KK v6.10.
I had previously upgraded to a 5.x ROM and then downgraded and I think this is when the GPS had stopped working.
I ran through the provided steps and did not get a Sim Lock error after reboot either.
Legend!

To all using this method, if your device has been unlocked by someone,
THIS METHOD WILL RE-LOCK IT
Solutions:
You're probably on the knox bootloader, and to use the commands of that xda thread, you need a 4.1 rom.
But you can't flash a 4.1 rom because it will fail on the bootloader, so you need a 4.1 with 4.3 bootloader in ODIN format.
Here's one, fzeta is a forum member, all credits to him:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9y2xo8a16w41eyr/Firmware_4.1.1_Modificado_for_fzeta.zip
Flash the rom, unlock the device with the known commands, and then re-flash philz recovery by known methods, and you're done.

*#0011# gets me into service mode but Q0 doesnt work for me on 4.4.4
any other codes?

Bricked phone.

Hello, i was given a blu R1 HD prime phone that was bricked by one of my relatives, according to him, he tried to do a format all + download on this phone, which as far as im aware, is a death flag, so i have here this bricked phone, i installed mrmazak's prime 6.1 no nv.zip file on this phone, but it still gives me the TOOL DL IMAGE FAIL, error i've heard a lot about, i also saw him saying "THIS IS NOT THE PACKAGE YOU NEED" in which case i can do nothing but ask, whats the correct package to get this bad boy up and running again? thanks beforehand.
PS: The phone is 8gb/1gb ram ver. was on ver 6.1, amazon before the brick, no OTA's.

For a device that was format all. Will need more partitions than are in that package you tried. Also I have tried to work with someone else who had the 8gb size device, we could not get past that error.
I do recall that the last last person got a new board for his phone and pulled the images from it to share. There is a link in the main thread somewhere. But , well even when he tried to restore his own backup from good device to the one with do error, it did not work.
NVM
I remembered it wrong. He tried to pull it, but could not do it.
Look through this thread. Maybe you can try to follow the advice I gave him, and it may work for you.

There is now a "repair rom" listed in an mtk support group I try to follow. I have not checked it out yet, but maybe it will help. Let me open this on PC to search for the link
this one was labled v6.4 firmware http://www.mediafire.com/file/6kys9896445l5sm/SP_Flash_Tool_BLU_R0010UU_V6.4_Firmware.zip/file
this is labled as a repair firmware http://www.mediafire.com/file/il54pxuvpkargtr/BLU_R1_HD_R0030UU_REPAIR_MT6735.rar/file
I would have you look at those , first i suppose.
if it does not work I do have backups made from miricle-box, but they are not uploaded anywhere right now.

Real appreciated, will keep you updated, if anything works ill post it here.

Alright, i tried the 6.4 rom, it didnt work, i had it already, i also tried to install the "repair firmware" but in the v5.1628.00.000 version of my SPFT it shows me "SP FLASH TOOL ERROR: (8417) THE LOAD SCATTER FILE IS INVALID", then i try on another version (v5.1744 & v5.1804), then tells me STATUS_SCATTER_FILE_INVALID (0xC00300001), i tried the fix copypasting the hashtags and general settings on top for both cases but that didnt work, i noticed the scatter file looks really weird, not like most of the ones posted here or elsewhere, its just a bunch of rows and not organized in the slightest, maybe i need to try using the scatter for my 8gb/1gb ram? since R0030UU is the 16gb/2gb ram's model code

Hi Mr Mazak
I had purchased non prime version of BLU R1 HD. I updated to the latest version via OTA. I had my phone rooted with super su and now wanted to try Magisk. After the reboot I had reinstalled the twrp recovery and did a format of all data on my phone. I am trying to install twrp but when I power on my device it is stuck on the boot loading screen. I have tried hold power button and volume down simultaneously and it reboots but gets stuck on the logo.
I tried using the sp flash tool to restore my phone to stock but it did not work. Get error S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_FAIL. 7d
My bootloader is unlocked.
Tried using adb commands but when I connect to the phone and run adb commands it says no authorisation.
If I can install twrp on the device then I will be able to install the rom from rootjunky, not sure if you require more info.
Awaiting your ananlys
Kind Regards

Hi Mr Mazak
I had purchased non prime version of BLU R1 HD. I updated to the latest version via OTA.

The latest ota blocks the use of sp flash tool. And the kernel exploit used previouls. But now there is new exploit. But you cannot boot so that is mutt point now

I had my phone rooted with super su and now wanted to try Magisk. After the reboot I had reinstalled the twrp recovery and did a format of all data on my phone.

Did you only format the data partition or whole device.?

This confuses me. You just said you had twrp already. Now you have trouble to I stall it.

From what you say.
1. You had working phone with SU root.
2. You have twrp installed
3. You wiped / formated with twrp
4. You now only boot to a logo screen. No recovery, or bootloader?

Question [CLOSED] Pls help to fix: dm-verify corruption

For my Redmi Note 10 5G bought from Vodafone UK, initially I used Xiaomi Tool V2 (https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/) to install the ROM, but it failed with error. After that any power on/reboot shows this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I went into Fastboot and used MiFlash tool to install a ROM, that installed successfully. But each time I reboot (or fresh power on) I get the above error and the phone switches off itself. But if I press the power on within the 5 seconds, it will power on and then the phone works fine.
Although the phone works fine, any reboot doesn't work automatically, I need to press power button within 5 seconds for it to work.
Now my question is how to fix the error in the screenshot?

Try with:
adb disable-verity
or flashing blank/null vbmeta:
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img or:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

@SubwayChamp Thank you for help. However I am getting this error:
adb disable-verity
verity cannot be disabled/enabled - USER build​
If I were do do the fastboot commands, will it wipe out the ROM+data in the phone (Note I have already been using it for last 1-2 weeks)? Also where to get the vbmeta.img file?

This vbmeta will work https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/vbmeta-tar.5065875/ (unzip it) not sure if this solves it, but it is worth the try. And not, flashing the vbmeta won't wipe your data.
I guess your device is unlocked, or maybe you did try to flash something unofficial on it being locked?, what happened prior to this appear?

Initially I unlocked the phone, then installed Indonesian ROM from Xiaomi website and locked it back.
Does the phone need to be unlocked again?

Yes, of course, this is why the warning message is appearing. In the other hand you were lucky to not brick your device, be careful not all the firmwares are interchangeable, specifically the Chinese, to be locked.
I mean, if you only are interested in this message to disappear, you should install again the same ROM that your device was in, but the Indonesian ROM is more attractive over the Global ROM despite the bloatware that can be uninstalled easily.

Yes, it is the best ROM for my requirements, except I couldn't get Dual Apps to work in it. Do you know how to?
As I want to use Google Pay + NFC, thus I need it locked.
Problem now is I'll loose all data and its time consuming to install everything all over again.
Maybe I'll leave with this error as is for now, unless I find an easier way

Strange, I used Dual apps in my RN8 exactly in Indonesian ROM (I switched from global because of the absence of Phone and Message native apps) although you are fear to, probably you need to format data in order that can work.
There are some workarounds in the Magisk thread to use GPay and NFC, although rooted.
I don't think there is an easy way because of locked bootloader.

I did not know it is possible to get GPay+NFC to work while rooted. Do you not get CTS Profile mismatch error this way?

actually all you have been asking has been discussed already, we are all busy but at least spend 10 minutes searching, vbmeta, dm-verity, nfc+Google pay all well discussed already, please spend 10 minutes by searching

Thank you for the tips.
Maybe I am not good at searching. I have many days of searching over the last few months and did not find the answers. I have another phone Mi Mix 2 that is unlocked and few things don't work in it due to CTS Profile issue. I would like to get that fixed too. Can you point to me specific pages please? Thank you

If you want to stay locked no way to disable this warning message but if you decide to unlock your device and root it, it is pretty easy to fix it, one of the methods available is what I indicated, flashing a blank/null vbmeta through specific fastboot commands, there are other methods though, but this is the most universal and easy to use.
In regard to the CTS issue, I don't use GPay, so I can't tell you, but no better place that the Magisk Discussion Thread, it is the appropriate thread where you can find all the info from all the members affected on that, in the meantime you also can take a read on this https://droidholic.com/fix-safetynet-failed-cts-profile-false/

1. Hello friends, there are two ways to fix this problem. First, you need Root, and after using Root, you need to download any file manager and give Root permission. You need to backup your baseband, nvram nvdata nvcfg after backup Save, you also need an MTK Bypass You can search for MTK Auth Bypass Tool through Google. To download, you also need to use SP Flash to flash the machine. You need to download the official firmware package. You can download it through xiaomirom.com, download the corresponding version, and use SP Flash to read your firmware package, after the reading is completed, choose to format all and download, wait for the completion, press the power button after completion, you will find that the error has disappeared, but the baseband is lost, but you have backed up. Boot through fastboot to unlock the BL lock, and proceed fastboot flash nvram ....... fastboot flash nvdata ....... fastboot flash nvcfg ....... Fastboot reboot reboot. congratulations your baseband is back, i am a newbie and my instructions are very Not comprehensive, such as where is the baseband position, but I have too many characters, I will list the baseband position. 2. Replace a new motherboard, all mobile phone problems are solved.
Hope to help you.

Mobile network vanishes on WIFI

Hi i have a strange problem. I tried searching to no avail. When i turn on WiFi, eventually after some time i loose cell service completely and have an X on the bars. The moment i turn off WiFi the service comes back turn it back on gone again. If i restart the phone everything works perfect but eventually the problem comes right back.
Some facts that i have to mention.
I am rooted with Magisk.
I do have Lsposed Riru
I do have the WiFi and volte fix
Besides that im fully on a stock ROM and stock kernel. I am aware these things might be the cause but i wanted to know if anyone out there experienced such an issue. I am on the T-Mobile network in USA Device about me bow

Just am update. If anyone else faves this I THINK I may have fixed it , but will update if its not true. After trying literally everything from apn settings, WiFi settings , going through all my apps, even getting a new sim nothing worked. Then it hit me, this phone has 2 sim slots. I switched from sim tray 1 to sim tray 2. So far its been 3 days without any service loss. I also want to add that vowifi and volte was also cutting out randomly which I noticed after this post and when it cut out even if I still had bars calls and texts wouldn't go through, this was all related it seems because since I switched trays that too hasn't happened. I'll keep you all posted if this changes, but if anyone else faces this problem I would definitely recommend trying to switch sim trays slots.

Just another follow-up, if anyone is following lol. My issue is not fixed as I thought. While changing the sim tray seemed to have momentarily fixed the problem it sadly came back. Although, im not so much as loosing signal as I originally was, but basically both Volte OR VOwifi vanish, and when they do I cant make or receive calls, even with full bars. Data works fine. If I reboot the phone it works again. I found most times if I put it in airplane mode, reconnect wifi, then take off airplane mode it also fixes the issue temporarily fixxes like restarting but this issue ALWAYS returns, and returns randomly. I cant find any trigger or pattern.

my friend, I am facing the same problem and it is on android 12, do you find any solution?

I havent, I am considering it, its just allot of work to backup and restore everything , there is a reason I chose a phone with enormous memory I have unbelievably allot of stuff on it lol. If it was something I knew for sure would fix it I would he more inclined to try , but maybe one day I will. If you happen to try any and it solves it I would really appreciate you letting me know.

This is not related but I will ask. Did you downgrade your phone to unlock bootloader?
