Long story short, with above average ROM knowledge, and two previous successful flashes under my belt, I flashed Slimbean JB 4.2.1 Beta1 for my Sprint GS3 SPH-L710, and all was quite fine until I messed with menu/security/SIM PIN. Though I thought I was setting it for extra phone security, I actually implemented an unknownst-to-me feature that upon the following reboot, the phone requested a PUK code for a now-locked SIM card (my phone doesn't have a SIM card by the way).
After a long CS call to Sprint, including International Sprint, I was told to go to a local store. The short part of this story is that no one has been able to help. You see, since I DON'T have a SIM card, I have no ID to provide to Int Sprint for them to find a PUK code for me to enter. Although, I've had many troubles in doing so, I have since been able to reset the phone to stock factory settings; HOWEVER, this has NOT removed the PUK code screen, which prevents me from using the phone at all.
I am out of ideas of things to change, alter or fix to get rid of this issue. I have tried CWM and TWRP solutions with no success. In a sense, although I can do anything with the phone - recovery, download, flashing - except actually use the OS, I would consider this phone as useless as if it were bricked at this point. Any ideas from out there would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have you tried Odin
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I would try flashing an odin stock tar, then re-rooting.
Nothing in recovery, such as a full wipe, factory and system reset fixed the problem?
This is good info to know. Please let us know of a solution if you find one - good luck!

I have successfully returned boot, system and recovery to stock, but this has not resolved the overriding issue. I don't believe I have tried to re-root since doing so. Perhaps that is worth a try.
EDIT: rerooting after Odin stock flash did not help the issue.

I am afraid none of these tasks worked. This issue must reside somewhere recovery can't get to, and only the OS can. The software is likely built so that a regularly performed task can't override a security issue - even if it is a false issue.

This happened on my nexus and I had to get a new phone because your phone is basically locked at that point and I did try random codes and one of them worked but my lte didn't work after that neither did MMS so I just kept calling sprint non stop for a replacement and they finally gave in and gave me an exchange for free

Did you have to contact International Sprint CS or just regular? How long exactly did you badger them? Had you flashed the phone, increasing your Binary count? If so, did Sprint not hit you with a bill after replacement? Just curious, as I have really upped my count due to recovery flashes to try to fix the phone. I think I can still get a Samsung E-ticket through Sprint store for about $37.00. But again, I am concerned about the flash count, and being unable to reset it. Perhaps I should do what I can to really brick it once and for all before I turn it over.

I don't think this will work seeing as he's already flashed an odin stock tar which brought the phone back to stock everything. :/

He wanted to reset the flash counter and go to pure stock so he could take it to the Sprint store.

Handsfree Activation?
I don't think Sprint even implements that rule anymore so he should definitely be fine. Have you tried handsfree activation ------>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670131
Maybe give that a whirl. I believe you must be on stock tw for this to work effectively which it sounds like you should now be on.
On second thought, your phone may not even allow you get as far as being able to dial the activation number, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Yeah, I don't have any access to the phone OS whatsoever. Sprint tech has it now; doing some kind of process which includes a 40-minute file extraction and a 30+minute flash. Perhaps that will finally reset everything. If not, Sprint has already said it will then replace the phone.
Received a new GS3 today and I'm back in the game. Thank you to everyone who tried to assist me. In the end, no one on any forum, not Sprint, and not even Samsung could correct the original phone problem. The moral - be very cognizant and careful when flashing any CMDA variant of a native GSM ROM, as there could be settings within them regarding the SIM cards that GSM's do have, but CMDA's do not, or perhaps other harmful settings if messed with or changed. This warning is really nothing new to anyone flashing custom ROM's; it's simply another hard-learned lesson by one person whose adding more truth to the usefulness of such warnings.
I bought a Galaxy S Glide (I think the same as the Blaze) from an outlet in Hong Kong on import from Canada (on boot it says "Rogers" so I can assume it's from Canada).
After using it for a week it suddenly stopped using the network and said that I need a lock code.
I went back to the shop where I bought it and they said they couldn't do anything immediately and would I like a replacement, which seemed like a nice thing to do.
However, after a couple of days I notice a glitch on the screen happen a couple of times.
I refused to believe it was a big problem (because it was my new phone right!) within a week the screen started to totally crash to the point that it would freeze in the boot up process.
You can see a picture attached of how the screen looks after I managed to do a hard reset.
When it starts to go like this, you cant do anything with it.
The guy at the shop wont change it or refund it, he claims I dropped it.
Samsung Hong Kong don't support it because it's from Canada and the only shop that knows what to do with it is the guy that sold it to me.
I'm taking the guy to the small claims court, but I'd rather have a fixed phone.
Any ideas please?
Thats happen to me, is a problem with the roger version. Everything in internet say the problem is hardware, but now mines works perfect. So, is like a bug in the rogers, maybe hardware problem, but if can be fixed with software i dont think so.
If you flash ICS with superoneclick (will remove rogers bootscreen) the problem will be fixed, of course you can flash it with a tar image with odine and will have the rogers bootscreen too. With that the phone will work again.

Just do what i say, install ICS; and the problem will solve.

I strongly doubt this, that looks and sounds like a hardware fault. But hey, if there's no warranty option, you've got nothing to lose...
-E- FWIW, I would boot it into download mode, and let it sit on that screen for an hour. Then plug it into your computer and make sure Odin sees it. If it hangs while in download mode DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING. You REALLY don't want your phone to hang mid-bootloader-flashing, that's an automatic fullbrick...

If the device is no more under warranty, I would say trying this would not harm the device anymore. Also this is a samsung released update so nothing unofficial about it.

if you search in internet about freeze problem in glide you will see. Can be roll back with odin. But, if you have no warranty on your device, you dont have nothing to lose, and much to win if the problem solve
My brother had this same problem on his glide (bought at newegg). I got him to install galaxym unlock (galaxsim? Something like that), and you purchase an inapp unlock for $3, and it runs, reboots your phone and you regain unlock. They claim its permanent. So far my brother didnt get locked again.
Is cheap, fast and you can also see in the reviews that there are more glides that used it and worked.
Hope this helps!

This helped with the frozen screen as shown in the picture?
thats for unlock, is possible that your phone will lock again when update to ICS. my phone was too from newegg and is rogers, thats why i say is a problem with rogers version.
Do what i tell you, you have nothing to lose

Thanks for thinking about my problem, but this solution misses one very big point, the phone that was locked was changed for the phone that has a screen that doesn't work.
I do not have the locked phone any more.
probably will lock again after you flash ICS via odin, thats happen to me. Is not a screen problem, again, if you want to try to solve, do what i say before.
I have the exact same problem, was just about to post in the other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953672
Bought my phone from Amazon US marketplace about a month ago (but live in the UK), and suddenly the phone did that on start up one day. However, I agree with lorddavid, it is not a hardware fault as it does not freeze in download mode. Samsung service centres won't repair as it does not have a UK warranty, and although I can get a refund by returning I would rather have a working phone.

Was very happy to read this, seems like I'll have to try it. Have been putting it off as it will wipe my phone which I did not want to do just yet - I have a lot of photos and clips which I can't exactly back up as it does not boot normally. Really annoying. Any way to access these/back up before flashing?
And another question, that ICS update is the first leaked one which carried a few bugs (as did the official UCLH2 one) - can I install the fixed UCLJ3 straight away? And do I need a rooted phone in the first place? In Rawr0w0's initial post it seems to suggest I do. Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.
dont remember, i think is the UCLH2, and i think that there was a odin flashable of the latest version (with bug fixes), you can try that (but dont know where download it :/ )
Do you have the photos in your internal storage? i think if you flash with one click, it will delete it, but if you flash the firmware via odin, it doesnt delete it (but i am not 100% sure)
And no, you dont need root to install roms via odin
This is UCLH2 without one click
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/
And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)
http://androidromupdate.com/2012/11/10/i927uclj3-new-ics-4-0-4-for-samsung-sgh-i927-captivate-glide/
These are the officials. But the second link i never try it to flash because when i has the problem there wasnt that version
Thanks, yeah that's where I was getting the files from, I'll try it tonight, will probably go for the second link, the UCLJ3 rom.

YES WAHOO!! My phone works! Thank you for the advice! I mainly got it from the other thread but without having read your attempt at flashing I would never have tried it - I'm so happy! I managed to make a back up and copy my media via CWM anyway, but everything was still on there including all my texts and whatsapp messages, and now I have ICM 4.04 too!
Phew I thought I would have to send it back, get a refund and order another one which is a massive pain and lose everything on my phone.
Hkcharlie, you need to try this!

thats cool Enjoy the phone, is a great phone
I first rooted and flashed a KANG JUGGERNAUT ROM 2 years ago, back when I first got my phone.
Just two days ago, a friend recommended flashing CM10 cause it's nearly up-to-date and stuff.
Was instructed to flash CM10 then GAPPS and wipe after; did so, boot loop.
Told me that I was supposed to wipe beforehand? Wish I known, still had soft bricks / boot loops.
Kept restoring and re-flashing; came to a point CWM became super slow, kept hanging when trying to restore/wipe.
Then I chose to flash ROM again, this time it kept rebooting/looping into installation process, hang, fail then rebooting to continue this cycle.
Told friend about it, said he'd look at it when he came over; cause my Odin kept crashing for some unknown reason.
He couldn't get it to stop boot looping so he offered to take back home where he said he had all the stuff he had installed on his PC/MAC.
After awhile he said it wouldn't boot anymore, hard brick.
Afterward he returned it to me, I confirmed a hard brick according to what I have searched/researched online.
Plugging into the USB gives me a connection beep but hitting the power button, gives a disconnect beep? So unable to go into download mode.
I have looked around and found a couple of possible solutions: JTAGGING and USB JIGGING
I'm not sure but I kept seeing a lot of testimony that jigging it wouldn't work on a hard brick phone, can anyone confirm this?
Not sure what JTAG is but apparently is the sure-fire way to get the device in working condition again; is this something I can do by myself?
I see the costs range from $50-100 but I'm not sure if I can afford that right now/tight pockets/strapped4cash/whatever as an unemployed student from LIF with other crazy stuff to deal with.
Worst come to worst, I will probably opt for this JTAG thing.
EDIT: I have this QHSUSB_DLOAD shown in the device manager as I connected the dead device; while searching/looking around, someone said it was fixable but it wasn't in the T989 thread so I'm unsure.
Is this really fixable? and if so, what would this exactly permit me to do after?
Any insight as what options I have? I really would like to get this resolved ASAP.
Thank you for reading; I am also located in NYC, if any locals can help.

No. I followed exactly how the video said above.
So after a few months of using my google pixel 2 xl, while I was using it I randomly got a black screen with the message:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device: g.co./ABH
PRESS POWER BUTTON TO CONTINUE".
Now it happens every time I turn on my phone. :/
I Have tried doing a factory reset and it still appears.
My phone is not rooted, I have the official OS that I got it with it (updated it through the phone's updater).
The phone was purchased directly from the us google online store.
I've tried to contact their support but they didn't have a solution.
Please help me!!

Sounds like one of those non harmful, annoying messages at boot up. Is your bootloader still locked I assume? If so, have you tried side loading the March OTA. I think sometimes during the OTA updater process that some files don't always make it to the system, which is why you get those messages. Is your phone still functioning properly??

Thanks! I'll try that...
Do you think it might fix the problem?
Edit:
it says in the guide:
"find the appropriate driver for your device from the OEM drivers"
but I don't know which one is mine ^^

Once you choose the proper OS version for your pc, and install SDK, when you plug your phone in, it should automatically update your device drivers :good:
And yes, there's a good chance it'll fix your problem. Never any guarantees with this tech stuff though

Hey! It seems like it worked!!!! Thanks!!
I only wish I hadn't listened to the google support team , and hadn't done a factory reset to phone before lol they don't seem to understand too much about their phones, the guy told me he thinks it's just an add
Thanks again man!

Oh sweet! Glad to hear it my friend, well done. Now you can help others out with the same issue if it comes up :good: Yeah, the Google folks are kinda funny sometimes. The factory reset is their standard MO! And right, an add on the boot up screen....yeah that's funny! I'd be willing to bet most of them use iPhones!!??????

How ironic! lol ???

Sounds like one of those non harmful, annoying messages at boot up. Is your bootloader still locked I assume? If so, have you tried side loading the March OTA. I think sometimes during the OTA updater process that some files don't always make it to the system, which is why you get those messages. Is your phone still functioning properly??

Thanks!! I also had this issue and following your suggestion to sideload the latest OTA, it appears to have fixed the problem.
I've been getting the same corrupt error on reboots on my xl 2(also not rooted), but I have not been able to get the latest OTA to sideload. It nearly completes but aborts last second and gives a Status 1 error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help will be appreciated.
Got a similar run-around with Google support. When the factory reset was unsuccessful, they've recommended replacing the phone since it's under warranty, however they think replacing my virtually brand new phone with a refurbished phone is appropriate.

Are adb/fastboot tools the very newest?

Unlock then re-lock your bootloader(/s) maybe?
Great job guys, this solution with sideload latest OTA worked for me too with no need to unlock bootloader! :good::good::good:
I can confirm this working again. Pixel 2 XL with 9.0 and November security update.
Thanks!
I just had the corrupt message pop up (bootloader locked), and the sideload ota update seems to have worked!

I'm experiencing the same problem as Apsel, yes the adb/fastboot are the latest.
Error applying update: 15 (ErrorCode : kNewRootfsVerificationError)
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

I know this is an old post but I'm having the same issue. Also cannot connect to pc due to, I'm assuming daughterboard issue this and previous pixel models have. I have been rooting phones since the S3 and am no virgin to the sdk. I tried to take it to ubreakifix which was a 4 hour round trip for me. I was told I would have to sign a waiver since the screen is glued to the phone and that was the only way to get to the internals. When I arrived I watched 4 bozos poke at the charging port for 20 min and then contradicting what I was told the night before over the phone that they were not comfortable doing the repair and then they tried to sell me a new device. I just got off chat with google and they want to charge me 270 dollars to fix even though I went to an authorized service center when it was in warranty. Will fastboot work over wifi?

'fraid not. Both the bootloader and recovery have stripped down hardware support, limited essentially to the display and storage. Neither has WiFi support that I know of, thus you have to use a USB cable.
I figured it out after I figured out how to fix the daughterboard issue w/o replacing the daughterboard. Verizon are some sneaky *^&$^s. Thx for the reply tho. I'm sure ur quite busy.
