NEED HELP! Can't tell what's wrong with my Galaxy S3!!

Let me start with some details about the phone:

- It's a Sprint Samsung Galay S3, SPH-L710
- It was rooted and Cyanogenmod was installed successfully, no problems
- Phone was given to my aunt, and she used it for a while

Here's the problem:

A little while ago, she told me the phone turned off and wouldn't turn off again. I told her to charge the phone and see if that helped. She charged the phone and waited for the battery animation to show up full, and then turn on the phone. It booted past the Galaxy S3 logo, past the animated purple Samsung logo, got halfway through the Sprint 4G LTE boot animation with the music and then boom. Shut off. And then back to the battery charging screen but displayed the battery as if it was only 15% remaining. What?? Wasn't it full a minute ago???

Here's what I did to fix it:

Okay so I thought, it's a battery problem. I purchased a second battery from eBay (not OEM) and the same issue occured. Same exact thing happened. I looked up the issue online and it appeared to be a soft brick. I forgot exactly what I did but I downloaded a recovery file and flashed it via ODIN and it turned on. Phew.

I gave the phone back to my aunt and a week later, the same thing happened. Phone dead. Won't start. Won't get past the Sprint boot animation. So I thought to myself, hmm ok. I'll just reflash and do what I did before. But I mean, how often do I have to keep doing this? And she loses data every time I have to flash the phone.

And so I did. I put it into download mode, opened ODIN, browsed for the md5 file (I forgot what file it was, I'm mad at myself for that now) and flashed the phone. It flashed successfully but this time, the phone wouldn't turn on. It kept vibrating as if it's about to turn on but then dies immediately. I left the phone on my desk for a while and all I could hear was *bzzt* [pause] *bzzt* [pause] *bzzt* and I'm thinking, okay. Time to get an OEM battery.

I finally found an original Samsung battery from an authorized Samsung dealer, I was pretty surprised he still had the battery in stock and bought it from him and ran home. Still the same thing. Kept buzzing but won't turn on. And if I do turn it on, it won't get past the Sprint boot animation.

So I looked and looked and looked and looked online and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2755793

Long story short, I followed the instructions, flashed successfully with no errors, and now I can boot past the Galaxy logo, boot past the Samsung logo, and finally past the Sprint boot animation until I landed on the Samsung screen. Just a black screen with Samsung that seemed to have a glowing purple around it. I was getting excited. After about 10 seconds, it went to the main welcome screen (the Google setup thing) with the next button and the language selector in the bottom. I was on that screen for about 2 seconds AND THE PHONE TURNED OFF. Back to the battery screen.

What am I doing wrong? Is there something wrong with the phone? Battery? Am I flashing the wrong software? If so, can someone please direct me to the right place?

P.S. If you're thinking, "dude just get her a new phone" she does have a new one now. It's a Galaxy S7 but I really really want to know what's wrong with this phone and it's been annoying me lol

I ACCIDENTALLY SET WRONG PERMISSIONS FOR /system/app/ directory and now I get ERRORS

Basically, I was installing an app as a system app with ADB. When I suddenly accidentally.
DID: adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/
And now I get the error: Unfortunately the process Com.Android.Phone has stopped.
And it says no SIM CARD! I broke the permissions and I wanna fix this.
The Message pops up every second!

What are the original permissions for /system/app/ so I can set it back and be relieved!?

hard brick wrong bootloader

Seems that a zip files I used to flash had the wrong img file for the bootloader within when flashed. I believe for the nexus 5 instead of 5x. Now no response at all from phone. Is their anything that can be done at this point? any batch files or utilities come about for this as of yet? Thanks!

I installed the wrong ROM.

So, that's the thing, I received this phablet: 3nstar T705s-01 (Chinese made), from a friend who "accidentally" got viruses on it.
I tell him not to worry because I know that flashing to the stock ROM it can be easily fixed, the thing is that nobody on the internet have this stock ROM, I read a lot of post and differents forums but no one had the exact ROM, after a couple of hours some guy posted a ROM and claimed that it works perfectly on the T705S. After seeing so many chinese pages with all kind of ROMs this cheer me up, so I proceed to flash.
The thing is, everything went well, but, it wasn't the right ROM, and now that I found the real one after some longs and tedious e-mails that I wrote to the providers I can't flash it again because SP Flash Tool gave me "DA didn't send response data to flash tool".

The thing is, I don't feel like it is a HARD BRICK, because my pc recognize it when I plug it and press "Power + VolUp", but nothing appears on the screen and I really don't know what else to do.
Guys please, if someone already answer this or solve it, please just give me the links, I'm tired and sad, I have no money to pay this tablet and I live in Venezuela, the things are pretty bad here.
Please, please, help me. I don't know what else to try.

My HTC one M9 stuck in FASTBOOT mode after flashing a custom rom with wrong firmware.

My phone is stuck in fastboot mode after I flashed a custom rom with Firmware Version 3.35.XXX.XX while my phone was on 1.32.617.6. I tried to flash CM 12 thinking that it would fix the issue since they might be on same firmware. I can boot into download mode and TWRP recovery. I think I might have relocked my bootloader trying to fix this.

This is what it says when I boot.
***Software status : Official ****
*** RELOCKED***
*** S-OFF ***
Please help me fix this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Try to fix Softbrick? with wrong flashed Firmware Xperia Z3

Hello XDA Team,

so to get exactly to the thing I try since 5 hours of searching and trying. I had Cyanogenmod installed on a Z3 (D6603) and wanted to flash is back to an original pre rooted Firmware. Stupid as I am flashed it with the ZIP for Z1 (C6603) because I didn't though about it much and overread it and then Wiped the Cache. After the "reboot" nothing showed up. Now I'm getting nothing, literally nothing. Screen doesn't show anything, no LED, and my PC cant find the phone. Already tried to reinstall the drivers from Flashtool.

To summarize: I cant get into Fastboot nor Flashmode but I can turn it "on" and shutdown with the Yellow Button.
I really just need to get into Flashmode to flash it with Flashtool.

Hope someone can help me, send a link to a thread I overlooked or say that I got a hardbrick.

If it doesn't belong in here I pls say me where I should post it instead. :silly:

Moto G rooting gone wrong stuck at bootloader unlocked warning screen. (Different )

So I followed a guide on the internet on how to root my Moto G 3th gen (not saying the name because I dont' want to advertise it) .... I wish I followed the guide on XDA instead because I think my phone is bricked now.
Everything went fine but after flashing the SuperUS.zip my phone gets a warning bootloader screen every time I boot it up.

I can start up TWRP recovery but I get to see the screen and after that I see a bunch or errors like :
could not find /date and find crypto and footer


Also my laptop cant find my phone now if I connect it with my laptop. (On the drive maps)
If I do a fastboot devices I can see my phone.
commands like fastboot reboot still work.

I tried flashing the TWRP recovering again But I keep seeing the error messages and after that I goes back to the bootload screen.


Is my phone bricked or is there a way to solve this...?

Can someone guide me to the right path here...
I have no idea what to do

What is wrong with my i9505?

What i have done here is installed a custom ROM via twrp and upon reboot to system, i get this (see attachment). Constant bootloops after the weird pixelation.
Installing stock ROM via Odin yields a bootloop on initial boot.
Tried stock recovery and wipe data (success), wipe cache partition (reboot).

Something must be broken somewhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a fix?

My phone can access recovery (twrp) and can access download mode.

D850 wrong rom

Hi everyone in this incredible web!

I bought the LG G3 D850 AT&T kitkat (T-mobile logo on the back), and flashed the D855V Marshmallow with LGUP. :eek:

I get this message "current version is not available for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc [310410] subset [FF]"

Since then the SIM card will get no signal. I've tried every possible thing to flash any rom that will work.

Anybody can help me, please??

Many thanks.

Keeps saying Wrong PIN when pin is correct

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, last night it decided to tell me my PIN was wrong and would not unlock (I've had the same PIN for years so I know for a fact I was entering it correctly) I removed the battery and it let me unlock my phone without a problem. If I tell the phone to lock and unlock it right away it will accept my PIN without having to pull the battery.
I have my phone set to lock after 1 hour of inactivity
I use ToucherPro which I can also use to lock my phone by selecting the feature in Toucher
I use 3 xda - x tether, snapprefs, lucky patcher (not fully activated, not sure if this is considered xda)
I keep my phone data and wifi off so I am afraid that removing the battery will stop solving the issue and I will not have access to my phone at all.
This morning it did it again - once again I pulled the battery and it worked fine.
My phone is rooted and unlocked for carrier, it currently running 4.4.2 (I cannot do a software update due to it being rooted) I bought the phone unlocked and rooted so I have no idea what root was used.
I have had the phone over a year now and have never had a problem like this till now.
I don't know if this applies at all but lately I've been getting a notification about "SE for Android has been disabled. Restart device to fix" I've done this, multiple times but each time I pull the battery the notification comes back BUT since I've had a problem with the PIN it has not gave me this notification again.
If I had to pinpoint when I started to have odd issues with my phone, it was when I downloaded and installed Freedom Patcher months ago. I uninstalled the app the same day I downloaded it - I do not recall exactly what Freedom did that made me uninstall other than it didn't work for what I was trying to use it for.
I have run avast antivirus on my phone - it says everything is good. I would like to avoid a hard reset. I have snapchat and to use snapchat on a rooted phone is very difficult as they have updated their security so it would require me creating a new account - I also like my root access so I would not want to lose this. I will try what anyone recommends but hard reset is only once I hit rock bottom with this issue.

Copy videos with wrong date

Hello,

I've had some issues copying some videos to my Samsung Galaxy S6. I modified the created date of the file and it shows in properties that I did it correctly. The problem is that when I copy the file through Smart Switch the date switches to today's date and it's a real mess in the galery. I've also tried uploading the correct date file to dropbox and google drive and then downloading it in the phone but it doesn't work either. What I want is to sort some videos and then putting them into the phone with the correct order.

Thanks in advance :)

Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock

My new P9000 seemed to be working fine until I put in the SIM card, at which point I got this "Wrong PIN - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock".

This is an indication that it's network locked, right?

What do I need to do to be able to use this phone? I'm a complete noob when it comes to flashing phones, ROMs, etc. Are there any fairly basic step by step instructions I can follow?

Wrong information in the 'About phone' panel

This is my first post, so I apologize if I am in the wrong section, but I really need help.
After running diferent custom roms on my KIW-L21, I saw the official MM update on the forum, so I restored my TWRP backup of B140 and tried updating but with no luck, so I tried restoring stock B130. Because the force update wouldn't work I flashed the files manually using adb and fastboot and succeded. The problem is that now, when I go to the 'about phone' panel all the informations except for the version number are wrong :
model is unknown
CPU shows quad core 1,2 GHz
RAM 1,0 GB
Memory 4,0 GB
Resolution 540 x 960
Android version 4.3.
Has anyone encountered anything like this?
Once again, I am very sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, but I could really use some help.
