i have a brand new phone and setting up tethering puts the phone into a bootloop. I have tried this 3 times and it's same result. Each time, i have had to go into recovery and reformatted it.
All i do is change the SSID name and a password, a few seconds later and it reboots
The phone has a serial number starting with 511... (Manufactured November 2015)
Anyone with a similar phone want to test it out as it's basic function.

So I recently tried to root my phone but failed and had to factory reset. Afterwards, the phone kept saying no service on bootup. Then after 15 minutes, it connects with Telus and I have service again, but seriously..15 minutes?
I found out it's because the sim card locks up everytime the phone restarts. I could easily unlock it by going to settings > location > change sim state, but it says I have "0 attempts remaining" so im pretty screwed over.
As far as I know, it should at least prompt you for the pin during startup, but I don't get that either.
it's not a big deal cause I never shut my phone off but its only a week old so yeah, don't want a buggy device

Hello,
Currently i am running the latest version of CM13 (cm-13.0-20160307-UNOFFICIAL-Z00A.zip ) on my phone, but this issue also occured with the other versions starting from the 1st of march.
With 2 sims inserted in my phone, both of these sim cards work fine when i put them separately in the phone, however when i put them both in some weird issues occur.
The problems start when booting my phone, the phone asks me to enter the PIN for sim 1, which works and connects the card to the network ( and fetches my latest messages and such )
Then the phone obviously asks me for the PIN of my second sim, which it accepts. However after accepting my SIM the same popup comes up asking me for my PIN for sim2 again.
And when entering the PIN it gives me the error : "SIM PIN operation failed".
After multiple attempts, it finally gets me in the phone. However the data on SIM1 is not functioning anymore.
What i've tried is:
Multiple different CM releases from the past week
Putting my phone in airplane mode and out again
Factory reset the phone
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Quick back Story---
Just bought Phone
Rooted using Kingo Root
unable to get Phone to read my metroPCS simcard
Unable to enter download mode to install TWRP
Rear camera displays all black (if software does not fix its only a $5 part, so no biggy
IMEI Clean
So I've tried using RomToolBox, to boot into Bootloader, and it just reboots the phone (obviously I do not have TWRP on there, and idk if Odin counts)
I am pressing Volume Down + Home + Power
Back Lights turn on ...(Important no warning message)
Then I get an android on its back with its lid open
I press home key again and it opens the "Android Recovery Utility A3"
I have tried pressing the Volume up key directly after the Back lights turn on, and same thing... Also tried removing battery for 1+ minutes, no go.
Heres my about phone info, the build seems off, I think the previous owner may have install a custom Rom on there but no idea...
Model: GT-N7100
Android version: 4.1.1
Build Number: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.3
Custom Build Number: 1359719440
Edit: Thought I would Add, The phone is unable to connect to a mobile network. When I put my sim in, I can see my phone number, but it thinks im on Tmobile, and not Metro PCS. Soo, I figure my first order of buisness is to Root, Install TWRP, then Install a CM 13. Rom. I am able to connect to my wifi, and Im assuming that the actual sim reader is working since it is reading my phone number off of the sim card. But I figure if worse case scenario I can replace that sim reader. I am pretty confident that the previous owner ran into the bug when updating it fails to reconect to the network and gets glitched out, sold it to a local bodega, and Im lucky.
Added a Video of the issue im having full boot, including my root access, about phone, and the Lack of Samsung logo, and how Vol Down Home and power bring me to Recovery mode.
Please close this thread, I just realized I got conned. This phone is a Fake Note 2. 2 gigs internal space etc... fml.

I've had a Nexus 5x for a couple of years and recall accepting an Android update about a week ago, since which time I've restarted my phone several times. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the Android version because I'm currently unable to get past my lock screen.
Yesterday I restarted my phone and went through the steps of password => Android loading => fingerprint to unlock screen, but I also received the message "password required after device restarts" so I entered my password again. I know the password is correct because it works initially (to start Android) and because if I type anything different, it tells me that the password is wrong. However, each time I enter the correct password, the screen goes black for a second (which it would normally do when unlocking the screen) but then it returns to the "password required after device restarts" prompt.
I've tried powering off, restarting and 'hard' restarting by pressing down the power button, but the result is the same each time I reach the step to unlock the screen.
I can see alerts (eg, emails, whatsapp messages) and I receive visual/audio notification of calls/messages, etc. but I can't access the content.
My last backup was about four weeks ago before I began international travel. There are important data on my phone that I need to get access to hence following questions:
1) Since the password is still valid is there a way one can Remote Desktop into the phone and retrieve the data?
2) Any other way to get into the phone?
Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Happy new year 2018.

Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)
