Help Me Please

Hey everyone, my phone has a faulty microphone on it and it is less than a year old. Everyone I talk too whenever I'm on the phone say my voice sounds very muffled almost like I am talking though a pillow. I am currently running the NRG rom and no one else has this problem, and I've tried numerous microphone boosters and volume fixes. This phone is less than a year old so i'm going to take it to AT&T and see what they say. How can i flash a stock ROM and make it so they can't tell i ****ed with it

Read this thread, the relocker is towards the bottom of post.

Actually, near the bottom of post #2 of that thread, you will find the instructions to return to stock condition.
Basically flash stock ROM & radio > use relocker to relock SPL > good to go.

thanks guys appreciate your help

OK so i got the stock ROM, but I had some issues with the relocker...when i tried it on my PC the spyware flipped out on it and the .exe file didn't even work. How would i fix my phone on a MAC as thats what im using. Any Help?

Turn off anti-virus , download and install, turned on virus protection..
very very common issue.

well i only have mac now cause i went back to school. so how can i do it without an exe

bump any way this is possible on a mac? I really need help....
Also I was wondering is there anyway to block a number on your Tilt2...is there any application i can download to do this
ATT says its not possible

The flashing tools don't play well with Mac. Find a friend with an XP system. Vista and Windows7 "usually" work, but XP is the easiest.
For a call blocker, how about just using this websites search function to search "call blocker"? (yes, you will get some useful results).

They are correct, it is not possible. Also, better thread title next time.

[Q] [HELP] Soft Bricked i9505

I rooted my GS4 yesterday and had no issues at all until i tried to flash a MOD to obtain wireless hotspot, but what i didnt notice was the MOD was for a Sprint version GS4. I know know if thats exactly what made my phone brick but im pretty positive because it was during the reboot that the phone got stuck on the TMO screen and apparently remaining soft-bricked. I spent the rest of the night and all of today reading and researching how to fix it myself before coming here to ask for help, so please bare with me.
I have already attempted to flash the official stock firmware using Odin, but it displays an error everytime saying it failed and something about AUTH. Sorry if im sounding vague, i am on a back up phone to use the internet and forgot to right down the exact message.. Anywho, i tried wiping everything and redoing the process and i even tried to flash the appropiate PIT file that i found but it still displays an error and says failed because of some AUTH or SEC problem.
Ive been at this diligently for almost 12 hours. My brain is filled with all these suggestions and methods that i have tried to use to restore my phone back to factory, but none of them have worked. I can still get into recovery and all that, so im assuming that there is still good chance i could fix the problem?
Also i am starting to get myself more and more confused about whether the firmware i downloaded is the right one i need for my phone, it seemed so at first but now i see theres TONS of region codes that can determine the firmware version?
Sorry if im all over the place, but i just dont know which step to take next..
I appreciate any help that is given, and im even willing to pay (some) bucks or maybe even (btc) for someone to walk me through what i need to do or what im doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance

Have you followed every single thing in the return to stock thread? Including updating your drivers, using the USB cable that came with your phone, running Odin as admin, etc?

No i havent tried that threads strategy, although i have done the same exact steps but only difference i see is that the firmware file name is:
M919UVUAMDL
While the one i was trying to use earlier was:
I9505XXUAMDM
This is where im getting very confused because i cant find a cut and dry way of knowing which firmware is the correct one..

You do have the T-Mobile SGS4, correct? Any files with I9505 in the name are for the international version, which is what you flashed (not the right file). All of ours will mention SGH-M919, M919, or jfltetmo in the file name. Pull the one in the thread I linked above and push that.
Crossing your fingers while doing so couldn't hurt...
Edit: I'd recommend using the "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR" in that thread as well, not the "stock tar (original)", since the MDL is official.

Thanks so much, i feel stupid for not realizing the difference between the two haha. Im d/l the firmware from the thread you referenced as we speak so i definitely will keep my fingers crossed and let you know how it turns out!
Thanks again. Im not sure how to give a thanks on here or credit for you help but your help is definitely appreciated.

error post

If you can get into download mode i would suggest flashing stock with that then rerooting that way the program downloads all of the nessacary stuff on its own.

Noob question... trying to root!

Ok.. I have a T-Mobile Note 3 now… and I am trying to root it… expected it to be easy, after dealing with my AT&T note 3 with its lockedboot loader!!!!
...not so much…
SO… two problems so far:
The instructions I am finding tell me to “turn off ‘Reactivation lock’ feature is turned off under Security Settings.
….and I can not find that setting !!
Second problem:
The problem I am having is that one of the first things I need to do is figure out my “AP Version”, and the instructions I am finding to do so is to dial *#1234# on my phone.
Unfortunately, what I get when I do that is: First it says “USSD CODE RUNNING” and then it says “unable to process request”
Is there any other way to get this information?
Thank you for any help!!
Danny

What ??? What guide are you trying to follow? Please post link as i would like to see this.
1. Settings>General>Security make sure reactivation (like 4th option down) is unclicked. If it is set, you did this when you first set up your phone.
2. Don't know why you need AP information. There is absolutely "NO" need for this in the rooting process.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you are running a brand new Note 3 from the store running JellyBean 4.3. The first post in this thread is the FAQ's . The second Question gives you links on how to root your phone. That's pretty much all you need to do. CF_Auto root is a 30 sec rooting process using a windows computer. Root De La Vega will root your phone also, but is no longer support by the developer.

"reactivation issue"

Hi!
Thank you for your help!!
I think I might be being too paranoid... but I am trying to do this very carefully, so that I do not brick my phone... and it is difficult when things do not line up.
I just bought THIS note 3 used, and factory reset it. I took three screen shots.. one showing the "about" screen... the other two showing all the options under "security"... none of which mention "reactivation"
I performed a hard reset on the phone just before I did this, incase the re was other stuff done to it before.
Am I missing something?
Thank you for any help!!

So frustrated!!!
Ok... I am SOOOOOooooo FRUSTRATED right now!!!!
EVERYTHING I try to do not working... and by not working, I mean that I look up oning, find detailed instructions, and the the instructions tell me to change settings that do not exist on my phone, tell me download specail files based on the version that is on my phone, and I can not figure it out,
...and the latest: I noticed that I can not get software updates (it says s "custom updates not available...") I do some research, and it looks like I should check to see if my knox counter has been triggered (I did buy this phone used.. so who knows...)
I follow the online instructions .. it goes to recovery booting".. and NO mention of knox... or what the knox status is.
WTF?!? I am not a software engineer,,, but I *HAVE* rooted phones before... and epic 4g, S3, and note 2 ... and NEVER have I had this much trouble!?!?!?!
What am I doing wrong??

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 MSL code lookup

OK so here we go I have stock rooted the s3. This is more of a blog or log of what Ive done so far and if anyone has better updated info then chime in.
I am trying to unlock my sprint phone for use on straight talk network. Nothing I have done so far has let me have internet access on the phone.
Im looking for the MSL code to unlock the phone. CDMA workshop did not work It wants me to input the spc to read it lmao.
First I rooted using the chainfire method. http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
Then I used Triangle away to make the phone look like it has not been rooted.
Im downloading SDK tools now to follow the instructions in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391165&page=2
I have android version 4.4.2 so I may have to downgrade to 4.1.x and follow the thread to reprogram my MSL then upgrade again.
Any IDEAS?!???!?

I went through this a few months ago. Just call sprint and have your imei# and meid# ready. Tell them you need your msl code because you are going to be traveling overseas. They are now required by law to give it to you although they will not assist with unlocking your phone for a new carrier. Or theres an app that works for some people. Let me know how it went

I tried calling sprint they want the phone number associated with the phone to access account info and I bought phone offline.... no idea what the phone number was.

Have unlock code, still says invalid sim

hi everybody
Friend of mine gave me this phone with the unlock code.
The phone keeps going to the hands-free activation screen ( which fails of course because it's either got no sim or a T-Mobile SIM in there)
Someone said it said enter double hashtag and then the msl code followed by hashtag
That just takes me to a screen where I can enter the "NAM info" T-Mobile's nearly worthless support told me to put my phone number into both the mdn and msid fields. Obviously this didn't work.
I tried the double hashtags 72786 hashtag to reset the radios, no joy. But before it should no signal at all any of the time where is now it does seem to have a connection to Sprint.
I found other sites that said that I need to enter the UICC unlock code, tapping that option or update PRL or pretty much anything else on that settings screen, just kicks open the hands-free activation screen again, before I did the step above to reset the radio I kept getting a 407 error.
Something that's probably complicating this whole process is that this phone did have a custom ROM on it and still has TWRP on it. The custom rom was wiped and I grabbed the Android 6.0 debloated stock ROM from on here and installed that to get this thing unlocked.
I'm open to trying custom roms but I need one that's going to be as stable as stock.
I would appreciate any help you guys could provide I've wasted probably about six hours on Google already. I got a lot of what appears to be pretty low-level information off of the hands-free activation menu though I've posted those photos.

One thing I find curious as you can see in one of the images that says that the Linux version is 4.0.4. But the ROM is definitely a 6.0. I'm an IT guy but I'm pretty novice when it comes to cell phones, is this something to do with the kernal?
I've been trying to download Dr ketan mod but while there's instructions for the p varient, there's no ROM download for the P version of the note 4 on his site.

I can't really help you but I can give you some info.
For 1, to unlock it correctly, you should be on stock firmware. You use Odin for that. There are plenty threads here that explain how.
2. Even if you do go stock. I've seen multiple people that can't unlock this phone, even with sprint help. It's like they don't care.
But yes, I've always heard what unlocks the phone is the uicc unlock code. But good luck getting it or getting it to work.
3. I wasted a week trying to figure out unlocking my phone. Not because of $, just wanted to try to figure it out. But i said, F#&k it. And paid Idone apps to unlock mine. Worked flawless!
Good luck!
As far as roms. There are plenty that work great.

Looks like I broke the second half for the quote mechanism, sorry when u load up Odin, will it find the stock round that's supposed to be on this phone? Cuz I got what I thought was a closest to it.
The phone still has trwp recovery on it tho, and it knows it's custom.
I got the msl code, seems to work. My fear is that the problem is on the phone and not the carrier end.
How would a non stock ROM impact this process assuming that everything was kosher on the carrier end?

I don't understand. Does your phone work with service? Did it ever have service? If it had service and now it don't, then you did something.
All i meant. Is if your trying to unlock your phone. It's best from stock.
