[Q] Dropped my phone from about 4 feet and this happened

Most of the screen still works and i can touch it and get feedback but it's mostly black. I guess this is for any phone but I need advice. It's rooted and I have a customm rom on it. I have a warranty on it and want to get it replaced. I purchased triangle away and have it installed but not being able to see makes it hard to use.
What do I need to do to make it good to send back for a replacement?

You could boot into download mode and Odin back to stock.

Downloaded all the files but I'm confused as how to use it. any help?

All I really need to do is reset the flash counter and factory restore and remove any sign of root so I can send it back in

I used it over a year ago.. but basically you dont need to run anything on android. You need to have the computer set up to use adb, which means having the android sdk, ur phone drivers, and getting adb to recognize ur phone (adb devices on the command line should show ur phone when you connect by usb cable)
Then screencast will show ur screen on ur computer and u can use a mouse & keyboard. Note: you cannot use this in download mode or recovery! But maybe u can manage to do what u need via odin and screencast.
By the way, after you get this working you should download droid explorer. It includes screencast and a bunch of other tools and a UI to transfer files via adb. Here: http://de.codeplex.com/

You can flash zips thru adb or use this tool to make it easier

I remember having to send in phones before that were rooted and custom and nothing was said and I got my replacement. Not saying it'll happen like that for you

Warranty won't cover you dropping it anyways. You can send it back for insurance and pay the deductible and it won't matter that it's rooted. Can even say you lost it. But they will charge you for that warranty does not cover. I learned on my s3

Never used on a phone I ever owned so I don't know. When I say everything works, I mean practical everyday apps like WiFi, gps, Bluetooth, camera. Stuff like that. I don't know many people that do use NFC

hello, don't see it anywhere, do you have a link for it??
Thanks!

Which Gapps did you use?

I have a strange one here. After flashing the ROM in twrp & hitting reboot my phone went straight into download boot screen. Has this happened to anybody else? I never have suffered from boot loops or had any boot up problem before.

No I never got it to boot. I'm sorry it happened to you, but at the same time I'm a bit relieved I'm not the only one. My restore worked just fine though & every other rom I've tried boots up just fine. I'm hoping the next version will boot for us.

Try to hold power button until it turns off. Then turn it back on

You can root using TWRP, I was able to root mine. I think thats in the advanced settings option

Used the gooim app. I actually got it booted now. Left in the charger for a while and tried Odin avian and it surprisingly recognized it. And oddly enough... Now I'm rooted. But now I wanna know how to go back completely stock and wipe the flash count. Any advice?

It has been rumored that Samsung will not warrant the device if it is bricked but if the power button breaks they would most likely repair it.

Rooting device
Hi
I dont know what really happen to your device but here some things that might help.
1. Get the latest twrp zipfile should be 2.6.3
2. Unpack in a New directory on your PC - in this directory should be 2 files - one ODIN and one TWRP
3. Use the ODIn in that new directory only this Odin version will work.
4 load the TWRP file into ODIN
5 The only Oding Setting which should be changed is the Auto Re-Boot Option switch it off.
6 Than start the Load Process be patient can Take up to 6 Min.
This works i did it myself if any further question feel free to ask - ih this has helped a thanks would be nice-
Good Luck

Well don't worry man your phone is not broken you just gotta find the right fix. Kinda hard helping because it could be several different things. I would try a different version of odin or a different pc before i start flashing away

I used the latest CF Auto Root to re-root it, then installed the TWRP app from the Play Store, then was able to successfully reinstall TWRP. Now I'm booting to an AOSP ROM.

Marshmallow 6.0 Info Thread

Figured since it's a brand new OS (Marshmallow; 6.0), it'd be nice to have a thread with all info on root/mods/recovery/ROMs/etc. Share your info guys on what works/doesn't work! :good:
1. First and foremost, the MM 6.0 100% stock TAR. Thanks so much @Sunderwear
2. Sadly, we still do not have a recovery that supports this new update (the TWRP 3.0 doesn't work unfortunately).
3. Root by flashing this TWRP in Odin, then flashing SuperSu 2.68 in recovery!
4. No mods/ROMs yet for Sprint S6 MM.

anyone living outside of US loses their signal after updating to MM 6.0.1?
i flashed back the stock 5.1.1 OL1 freshly, then updated to MM 6.0.1 right away without installing anything.
anything went right except no signal. i cant make call or sms...

All you should have to do is flash TWRP in Odin...which is still compatible with the update and then flash SuperSU 2.68.

Have you tried going to options in Odin and turning off the auto reboot feature first before flashing TWRP. And then when it says pass...you manually reboot into TWRP...by holding the volume down and power button until it turns off and then hold the button combo for recovery.
