Having a hell of a time getting my evo 4g to change to s on. I have successfully unrooted it but the s off remains there. I need to take it back to sprint for repairs.
I have tried several with the recent unrevoked 3. But my results are after flashing "waiting 5 seconds because windows hates" message and the other says waiting to reboot" (both freezes forever). Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks you.
Newsflash. I've never heard one story of Spring checking a bootloader to make sure a phone is S-On.
Flash A stock ROM and you;ll be good, although there have been posts that say Sprint will work on Rooted phones now.

You have to have a custom recovery to do that (Amon-RA or Clockwork). You need to reinstall Amon-Ra Recovery by putting this in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip": http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Then flash this: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
After that just run an RUU from here: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu
In case the RUU won't work from your computer, download one of the ZIP ones, put it in the root of your SDCard and rename it "PC36IMG.zip". That always works.
I am not sure what you mean by "Spring checking but I have flashed the stock rom PC36IMG.zip onto the root of the sd. My understanding that once your successful doing this you basically revert to the original rom. I have done that thanks to this site. But, I cannot for the life of me get the s on back on. Rooting my phone with three different custom roms were easier. Not all Spring stores like rooted phones. Id rather revert to original with the s on to be sure. product F thanks for the reply I will try that..perhaps I missed something. Thank You.

That plus the leaked document from the sprint employee forums that said that sprint supports rooted devices means we don't have to fret over s-on for service just make sure that your phone is running a sense rom when it is taken in otherwise they can't use the diagnostic commands from the dialer to fully support the device.

Well I think my biggest problem is that i unrooted my phone because Clocwork will not work for me to flash forever s on because it is unrooted. Is this correct? Thanks

If you're using Clockwork, you have to disable Signature Verification.

But to get clockwork to work you have to be rooted...correct?

Yes but you're still s-off so follow those instructions.

Thanks for staying with me. Appreciate it.
Here is how I wasable to get to recovery to get to the root directory for choosing zip from sd.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 11: TRANSFER PC36IMG.zip TO SDCARD
Connect the MICRO USB Cord. There is an option for this in both the Amon RA and Clockwork recovery.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.[/SIZE][/SIZE]
It was the connection and discnnection of th usb cable. Everything was in green. Is that normal.
So, my next step was to flash the forever s on zip. The results were unsupported radio version. Update failed. The current version I have is 2.15.00.05.02. on the new update on my evo. I tried it first by removing the pc36img.zip nd then tried it with it on...same results.
So I found this radio version (EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_003), but I am not sure if this is what version is needed. Anyways, I apologize for this long everyone, but I am trying to provide as much info and hopefully I can minimize your time. Thanks alot.

The radio package you mention is the same radio you already have, so you'll want an older version. I'm not exactly sure of the version number, but I do know that is not the correct one.
Remember when you flash radios to not pull the battery. It'll flash, then upon rebooting it'll finish. You'll see a screen that you probably haven't seen before, it'll most likely be an arrow pointing down to a phone or an Android in a box... or something like that. Regardless of what you see after the flash, don't freak out and pull the battery - you'll end up bricking your phone. It's one of the few ways to guarantee a real brick, the phone will never turn on again. You may already know this, or it may be in whatever guide you're using, but it's good to know.
Anyway, I'll see if I can find the correct radio for you, and good luck!
Edit: I read somewhere that someone used this one to get s-on: http://www.mediafire.com/?v0ymbhaa0ltcvyy
However, you may need to do some trial and error. It should work, but here's a link to all of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
These are from Calkulin, so if they're PC36IMG files you'll be fine, but I'm pretty sure you flash them in recovery. Sorry, it's late & I'm lazy. Anyway, I think Calkulin still uses amend scripting, which will render them incompatible with ClockworkMod. You'll either need to switch to Amon Ra to flash them or find a different flashable zip. I think you'll only need to flash the radio, not all of them, but I could be wrong.

You don't need S-OFF to have sprint work on your phone for repair. My cousin just got an insurance replacement Evo 4g because he washed his phone with his clothes. He brought it over to me to be rooted and the phone he got was already S-OFF and that is an Insurance REFERB. also with the leaked forum of how Sprint will infact work on Rooted phones gives it away that you dont need S-OFF
Plainjane. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the zip from the first site you showed here and it ran well with the exception that it got stuck on formatting cache. So, I rebooted. s off still on. I will try the next one here in a few. Thanks everyone.

well. While I continue to try and solve this puzzle I will attempt to attach this link on how to flash a radio to evo. i take no credit.
well i am happy to say i have finally go the s on back on. I believe the problem was that i left the recovery supersonic ra image on the root directory of the sd. i deleted that and flashed the supersonic s on image and voila!!! Everythin crumbled under the rosario wrath and s on is on. Thats Boricua power. My next problem is flashing sense back on. Khilbron, I wasnt ignoring your post on sense, it was just I was trying to get the other things done. So can you please expand on the sense. Thanks to everyone who took out the time even you kipkat with your kind of unfriendly comments. Dueces.

Hi,
I tried to root (first time) my S3 using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
My S3 is the international version: GT-I9300.
I followed all the steps, except for one bit. In the prompts, I could not find the exact version of my S3. The guide said to use the closest one so I did. My build is JRO03C UBDLJ1 but I used number 9 (see guide photo 2). All went well until my phone won't reboot anymore. Odin and the root application says that everything is fine, except my S3 is stuck at the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with black screen). I can still get into Download or Recovery modes. How do I fix this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
My thoughts
If you backed up your phone software I would return it to it's original setup first and make sure everything is ok with boot up etc
There may be an issue with the software that you have downloaded (wrong version or just not compiled properly) ....so try another rom or another version of the rom that you are trying to install
I have had this happen (stuck on boot) and another rom has fixed it
I use clockworkmod to install, restore and backup (not everyone likes this but so far I have had no worries)
Hope this helps

Well intially, I was just trying to root. Didn't intend to install any ROM. Since it was pretty much a brand new phone (no personal data), I thought there was no need to backup. So no, I don't have a backup unfortunately

This one (post was in unless kenny moved) is for the US version.
OK I managed to get this thing back working finally. What I did was flash it back to a stock ROM. I couldn't find my original version but close enough, except this version, 4.1.1 doesn't seem to be available (but thats not a big deal).
Now I'm too scared to try root it again lol...
And thanks for all the suggestions!!!
My Answer
Hi onevivip
Before I started installing roms ,I did as much research as possible ....read forum sites etc ...looking at the pros and cons of installing the software
I also read if there are any bugs etc in the rom that may cause any problems ...I save the info to my computer so I can refer to it later if I need to
If you do your homework first this will eliminate a lot of problems ......also check what to do if you think you have bricked your phone
Hope this helps
Alright, well I've come to a problem and I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
The title pretty much says it all, I've completely wiped the operating system off of my phone. There is nothing left, absolutely no data or anything. I was much too hasty and irresponsible, and I fear for the worst. I had previously attempted installing multiple ROMs multiple times using CWM to no avail so I re-rooted and switched over to Team Win. I know before installing a ROM you have to wipe your phone, well... I hit advanced wipe and within that I hit "system", went ahead and wiped. There's nothing left on my phone my phone and there are no ROMs on my SD card. I had backed up my phone before wiping but when I wiped that was also deleted. Before restarting it always warns me "No OS installed on your phone, are you sure you want to reboot?" Of course it's bricked and stays at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" screen. I attempted putting a stock ROM back on my phone through ODIN, but a'las it didn't work (always stops at "SetupConnection"). I have nothing and there is no way for me to get a new ROM on the phone, I obviously cannot connect to my computer unless through download mode because the phone is bricked. So, what do I do? Is there any hope left for me or am I just completely screwed? The phone is less than a month old.
another option is to purchase a micro sd card and place a ROM and gapps (if required) on it, install the card and boot into recovery.
so when you connect your device to your pc, you're getting a yellow com connection in odin? what link did you follow for a stock ROM?
as long as you can still access recovery and download mode, there is hope, buddy.

Yeah, when I connect to the PC I get a yellow com connection in ODIN. I followed what is, perhaps, a sketchy looking link for the stock ROM... It's not letting me post a link because I'm a new member to the board, though I've looked over this place plenty of times in the past. Should I look for something a bit more official and retry? I don't think it's going to work. Will a ROM work, without an OS? I know that may sound silly but everything I've tried so far has failed.
here's a link to the stock firmware with root already injected: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
flash the tar in odin like you have been. make sure the auto reboot box is unticked. if you get a PASS after flashing, unplug the device, pull the battery, replace it and press the recovery button combo. once in recovery, wipe data and wipe cache. reboot.
lemme know if that worked, otherwise throw a ROM on a micro sd card as stated and go that route
btw, a ROM is the OS.
And also, my phone has to be rooted for a ROM to be installed, right? Well there's no guarantee my phone is still rooted since I've wiped literally everything on the phone. I like the idea of a placing it all on an SD card but that could be wasted money and I don't have very much money to spend, especially if a ROM isn't going to replace all of the needed system files which have been deleted.

I accidentally wiped my OS on my Galaxy S3 AT&T - Please Help!!!
Hello all,
I am a rookie user of smartphones and I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. I accidentally wiped my OS leaving me with no OS. The good news is that I can still use Team Win and boot into recovery.

I'm really hoping someone can bail me out here before I...
I have made a mess of my new (to me) Note 4. I bought it as an Unlocked GSM. It arrived booting with a Sprint screen. I have Safelink BYOP service. When I switched from my Note2 to Note4, yesterday, an ATnT sim card was used to activate it with Tracfone. Everything seemed to work EXCEPT for MMS - I could not send nor receive pictures. I read -what I thought was- clear instructions here on the forum, I started downloading and attempting to root my phone, hoping that would solve the problem, since tech support had no answers.
I followed the instructions in this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/rooting-sprint-note-4-pj1-t3495306 . Now the phone will only boot to download mode, or I can use the up volume button to get to the program to install, restore, etc. I have tried several times - with a couple of different .tar files. This last attempt - I tried to restore it - that also failed. My old eyes can not really see the tiny text but I did see in Odin3 that 1) No MDS found 2) Systemless mode Boot img support required 3) Boot Image Patcher Failed. When I attempt to install the SuperSU, from the thread, it gives me similar errors 1) NO MDS file found 2) (under Boot Image patcher it says FAILURE / Abort after extracting Ramdisk.
If anyone could help me out, I would be most grateful.

Here's it's original post, to show how to use, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Use that program to download the stock firmware for your phone.
Use model number: SM-N910P
Use Region: XAS
Then use Odin to flash stock firmware. All should be good then!
Added Odin! Use this version!
Once you get phone back on stock. I'll show how to root!
Thank You
Thank you so much for the reply. I have downloaded the files you put in my post. I will attempt to do these things now, but I have a question. I stayed up fighting with the phone all night. I probably did some things I shouldn't have? I realized that I was getting stupid and quit, but I did (maybe) put some other stuff on the phone that night. Should I use the Clean or wipe function in TWRP before I do anything else???
Yes, I can boot to downloader or to TWRP. The phone (on its own) is now stuck trying to load with the Note 4 splash screen - but I can boot to either with the vol +/- buttons.
SamFirm did not work. It said Unable to fetch... please check data or enter manually.

First - THANK YOU all for the assistance.
Yesterday, none of the suggestions were working, but I kept at it. I was finally able to install the most current Stock tar that I could find. This phone had updated to the most current version available for the phone - it had Marshmallow 6.01. NOW, the red and yellow tamper errors appear to be gone from the Note4 splash screen - BUT, it boots to Sprint Activation so it won't fully load to OS. I read a post about removing the Sprint Hands Free Activation, but it gives two ways of doing so. 1 requires having a rooted phone (I am assuming it is not rooted now?) and the other uses ADN Connect, and I am not sure what that is.
I'm not really sure what to do from here? Any assistance appreciated. Can I start from step 1 of the original post to install SuperSU now?

Well, the sun is about to come up - again - but I think I got it! This has been a learning experience to say the least. I wasn't really planning a crash course in Android, but thank you to all who responded. And to :Samep too!
I think I get it
So, after a little rest I have a Note 4 with the most current stock tar. When I left it, at sun up, I had a slightly older stock version and rooted through TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted with the latest version of SuperSU. I spent a couple of few hours continuing to read and figure out how I would get it updates. If I could ask just a couple more questions??
If I put the TWRP 3.0.2.0 will the tamper warning come back to the flash screen?
Can I put TWRP on without rooting with SuperSU?
If not TWRP - is there a way to do a full backup without it? I REALLY want to get a good backup of what it has now - a fresh install of the latest 6.01 - and nothing else.
Thank you again.

Here's it's original post, to show how to use, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Use that program to download the stock firmware for your phone.
Use model number: SM-N910P
Use Region: XAS
Then use Odin to flash stock firmware. All should be good then!
Added Odin! Use this version!

Sorry I don't get on here much lately. Just seen your post.
Without knowing exactly what you did. I'd say you lost your unlock. If you had an unlocked sprint phone. And tried nougat. I believe i remember that upgrading to nougat was messing up people's EFS partition. And that's where the unlock happens. Did you make a backup?
I always tell everyone, the most important thing you can do is have a full working backup of every partition.
Hope that sheds some light
I'm not completely brand new to flashing with custom roms, but I sometimes go 2-3 years running stock, so when I do come back I have forgotten everything and it feels like starting over.
So far I have achieved the following:
1 - backed up device
2 - reset device back to stock
3 - flashed stock image using Heimdall
Unfortunately after all that I am not sure if I have made any progress. It just took my phone back to factory settings.. My storage is full, my SDCard is empty and I can't push a file to the sdcard because I don't know how to reference the right path.
I tried flashing a TWRP recovery.img file to the recovery partition, and it indicated success. But when I boot into recovery it looks exactly like it did before. I get no TWRP gui interface. The TWRP app has no official build for this device, so is unusable. I also tried installing Magisk but got errors and just uninstalled it.
Frankly I don't know what to do yet. I'm not sure the device is officially 'rooted' or not. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I flash an Enigma Android 6 image? Do I have to do that before I can update to Android 9?

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to take a look at the following TWRP thread that's specific to your device and variants. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance as well.

Yes, that's where I got my twrp recovery.img file from. I'll go back through those steps and ask in the thread if I have further issues. Thanks.
Typically there is a reboot into system after flashing twrp. Some stock ROM replace twrp with stock recovery in that case.
Known workarounds:
Flash twrp to boot partition also
Remove battery after flashing twrp
Use windows Odin and unchecked reboot
Do some key tricks to force recovery during reboot.
Once twrp booted, it normally does tricks to not get overwritten.
Asgard holds your answer

OK, bad jokes about Nordic deities aside. Try using ODIN rather than Heimdall to flash TWRP. In ODIN, make sure the automatic reboot on exit feature is turned OFF. After exiting ODIN, MANUALLY reboot the thing into recovery mode using whatever multiple button combination is required, and you "should" find it starting up TWRP for you. ASSUMING that is so, then power off the device and re-start it. it "should" now be working correctly, meaning with whatever ROM you have in place and TWRP as the recovery. And if THAT worked, you can flash SU using TWRP if you are not already rooted and you are good to go. Good Luck.
I now have managed to finally get TWRP flashed. It worked this time. Could not begin to tell you what I did differently...
I managed to flash the custom ROM and am now dealing with two remaining issues - a password I am being asked for that I never set, and getting the right version of opengapps flashed.

FYI - the only version of Odin I could find for Linux is a glitchy Java version. All the tutorials say to put things in the 'AP Slot' - and I can clearly see that in screenshots. But my version didn't have an AP slot. The graphics were misaligned and I finally gave up. I did manage to flash a ROM using ADB sideload. So there's that.

Yeah, Odin can be more than a little bit "glitchy" on Linux boxes. Surprised you found one that worked at all, to be totally candid. I suggest to folks that they just beg, borrow, or steal 15 minutes on a Windows box and do it the easy way. Yes, I know "windows" is a very long "four letter word" in many circles, but sometimes you just bite the bullet and take the path of least resistance. The IMPORTANT question is: is your problem solved ??

Good question. Do I have LineageOS on my device? Yes.
Is it a usable version? Uh, no. My device is now reporting to be a Galaxy J7 and the WiFi is useless. This was from an Enigma ROM. So at least I have managed to figure out how to flash the device and TWRP recovery is working. Now to find a better ROM.
I guess the question I have now is this: *IS THERE* an actual, working Android 9 PIE ROM for the J2 Prime (Grand Prime+) model?

Hui. Quick search in XDA shows: there is probably no aosp based ROM for your device. So you flashed a ROM for a different device? You should learn a bit about model names and codenames. And be glad to not have bricked your phone.

Well, it's from here on XDA, and it was advertised as being ported for my model specifically. Just surprised to see the other model info in 'About' - I agree that Pie seems to be non-existent for this phone. What about Oreo? So far every single article I find on the 'net is just click-bait.
Sometimes it is better to stay on stock ROM. With twrp you can install magisk or xposed or nanodroid.
