Ok so I have tried pretty much everything I have seen on forums like sideloading new stock roms etc using companion to repair, using companion to update, hard reset and factory reset but to no avail now the problem i have is that like an idiot I didn't enable usb debugging (Yeah i know rookie mistake though I thought Sony was going to bring out a Smartwatch 4 how little did I know) anyhoo just wondering if I got a 2nd working smartwatch 3 could I create a backup from that and adb sideload that onto the broken one or would it be exaclty the same as a fresh stock rom already tried
As I have sent it away to be repaired and they want £80 to fix it which they say its a broken bluetooth module I am not convinced they even checked inside and I think they are going to just replace the core itself or if anyone has any other ideas it would be great the Watch is here oh and a sidenote SBE electronics uk have terrible customer service if anyone has to send their devices to be fixed Sony had to apologise and get my watch back from them.
Thanking anyone in advance

Hi
Have got a serious problem. In a nutshell I decided to upgrade my ROM using the Samsung website. Ran the updater - after getting to the stage ‘downloading file 2’ it asked me to manually soft reset the phone. So I did and nothing. By now it had reached the ‘downloading file 3’ stage however the updater then froze too. I looked at my phone and all that appeared is a black screen with picture of white phone in the middle and an overlapping solid yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside.
The phone now does not shut off/soft rest or anything. I even took battery out for five minutes but still same screen. The next problem is that I tried to run the updater again however it requires active sync and as the phone does not turn on it will not sync up.
Please can someone help with this? I am noob so please don’t suggest any soldering or hacking type methods but I can work my way round a set of clear instructions using basic software. I have spoke to Samsung who have suggested sending it to their engineer but will take two weeks just to give me a reply as to what’s wrong with it! Further if not covered I am screwed for repair costs and if covered it’s going to take ages and I need my phone back asap. As I used the Samsung website software there must be a way to solve this.
Please can all knowledgeable forum users reply as I have previously relied upon and used advice from this forum with much success. I would really appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance.
Sorry Samsung Omnia by the way
Welcome to forums
As this is an HTC devices forum only you won´t get too much atention, however in off topic there is a thread regarding samsung, perhaps there you can get more help.
Good luck,
Hi,
I suggest to ask on www.modaco.com forum, there many people have developed omina roms, so, for sure they know much more about this PDA.
Usually you should be able to enter in bootloader mode and flash a new rom but I don't know omnia. So, ask there and you'll find some answer.
Hey all,
Please bear with me
Here's the thing:
I got my factory unlocked Lumia 900 back in June from Amazon US... I'm really happy with the phone... no issues whatsoever.
My last update was about 3 weeks ago (forced through Zune {plug phone then disconnect from internet} to 8779.
On Thursday (Sep 20th), Zune suggested that a new update was available... So I did the update. I'm not sure there was any changes, but the firmware is still 8779.
On that same Thursday (after the update), I decided to convert from hotmail.com to outlook.com... So i had to reset (to factory settings) the phone.
After a couple of hourse, all apps (that were installed) were reinstalled and all accounts were created, linked... (in other terms, the phone was back to the same state... but with the outlook.com sign in)
Since then, my phone is rebooting on its own. It restarted once on Thursday, a couple of times on Friday... But on Saturday, It has rebooted more than 20 times already (many times when I'm not even using it).
- Since it worked fine for 3-4 months... I'm sure it's not a hardware problem... (and I'm not a US resident... so an exchange is not an easy option).
- Did anyone experience anything like that?
- If you have any advise/suggestion, please help me... anything!
Sorry for the long thread.
Thank you.
You should probably try the hard reset again. Sometimes when my phone is connected to the car or wall charger or any other type of charger and I try to reset it it will keep rebooting until I disconnect it, then it can reboot normally. Hopefully that helps or gives you some ideas.

If all that fails, and you really don't want to try to exchange it under warranty, there's always the Nokia Care Suite. You can flash the Stock OEM ROM to the phone agian. It has helped Some people get their phones working normal again. If it is NOT a hardware issue, and you sent in for warranty, this is exactly what Nokia would do to it, then send it back to you. I Highly suggest you download the LATEST ROM shown in the Care Suite, don't use the ones I've left links for. They are not the latest. Using the care suite, find the ROM that matches your Product Code.
Thank you for the reply.
Actually, I re-did a hard reset on Sunday and all is working great now
So if someone is having a similar issue, a hard reset would solve it

If you're rooted, I would search around a 'how to' install roms, I would recommend an aosp based jelly 4.1 or 4.2 rom (IE CFX, Cm, PACman or AOKPK)
If you haven't rooted or unlocked your bootloader, then I would contact HTC and say that it is faulty. IF they refuse to replace it, I would suggest rooting and installing an aosp rom as the battery is much better on them.
A quick solution just to the messaging problem might be to clear the 'app data'.
Good luck
Edit: I would be cautious rooting it if it is faulty as you might end up fully bricking if it powers off halfway through or something. If you decide to root, make sure that it won't turn off when plugged into your computer.

Thanks for info but I don't even know if my phone is rooted or no. I bought my phone not from HTC, but from a person, phone was in a original box with all the tapes.
I was googling like 2 hours but i couldn't find any guides which i understand....
Don't know about clearing app data, but i think i'm gonna just do factory reset every three weeks or so till my phone completely DIES IN PAIN.
And gonna buy new one .... These messages yesterday cost me like 20£.

To clear app data go to system settings > apps > messaging > clear app data
A factory reset might also help, but you might as well root if you're prepared to wipe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377119

Hoping someone can provide some direction. First and foremost I am not a HTC savvy so although there are a few threads here about the same issue none of them relate to me as I have not rooted the phone nor flashed to custom ROMs or anything to that nature. I am simple user of the phone... Now.. to the topic.. so I bought this phone for my brother in law last year as a birthday present, and at the time I had a working phone so I didnt put my mind too much to it.. but I did liked the phone very much. Two months ago, I decided to purchase one of these, so I bougtht an HTC ONE X Phone S720e Android 32GB 8MP 3G WiFi GPS Bluetooth Unlocked White. I don´t recall what versión of Android it carried at the time but looking at the specs it should had come with Android 4.0.3. After loading it up, transfering my files on to it and loading some basic apps, whatsapp, email, Skype... it off coursed asked for a software update two times which I went ahead and did. The last one it installed added Android 4.2.2 and HTC Sense 5. It was working fine, layout changed considerably... now after doing another of the updates to applications and software, specifically the transfer files update it suddenly quit recognizing data services completely. I though it might be something with the micro sim, so I tried testing a couple of others, it didnt make a difference so I decided to back up my contacts and information I had on the phone and did a Factory reset. It wipped it clean but issue remains the sames, it is unable to even recognize the sim card is missing and when I go into settings I see the message Disconnected because service is unavailable.
Reading online, saw a few folks stating that this situation was related to software updates.. so I was wondering if I could get some help on how to get this fixed. Not sure what to do, downgrade to 4.0.3 or how could I get it resolved so appreciate some direction here.
If you go to settings - about - phone identity, does it still shows the imei ? Seen many people here having their imei gone from their phone and becomes an iPod since we can't write it back. Tho you are on stock, so better send it for repair.

It shows up as unknown actually... is this a software related issue then? Im concerned about the other phone going through the same situation... should no updates be installed to it then? That makes it fairly useless and might prefer to send it back and try to get a refund instead.
same problem for me, still wait for fix

Hi guys i recently received my Galaxy S6 from sprint that my brother bought on may this year and loved it, but then fell in love with the Note 5 and saved this one on the box. Like i said the phone is exactly the same way it was when he bought it, so damn new! so i was very happy when the phone arrived and i quickly called my brother so that he could have it connected to the sprint network. He did and the phone worked awesome, we even changed the old number he had on that line he connected to my phone and got to call a friend of mine so everything worked, but! The next day i wake up to make a call and as i'm waiting for the 00:00 minutes to start rolling it took about 5 to 9 seconds to appear on screen and when it does, i CANT HEAR THE RING OR THE PERSON WHEN I MAKE A CALL! and so cant the person i'm calling, they get the call, but when they answer it they cant hear me. I tried everything sprint has told me from resetting the phone in many ways and nothing seems to work. Also everything on the phone works, trust me i've tried every test, i can hear on the lower speaker and on the top one also (my brother left a voice message and i could hear it loud and clear) so i know its not the speakers or anything hardware. I've tried everywhere and no one seems to have the answer to my problem can anyone pleaseeeeee help me , this phone is new and nothing is broken in it. I made a test to the microphone and i could record and talk to anyone on messenger, whatsapp, etc... so i know the mic works. Everything works, the only problem is that when YOU WANT TO MAKE A PHONE CALL OR RECEIVE ONE, YOU CANT LISTEN ANYTHING ON THE TOP SPEAKER, neither can the other person hear you. Please anyone :/
Thanks in advance!
I know this is way out there, but make sure you turn Bluetooth off. It may be connecting to a Bluetooth device and expecting you to use that.

Factory reset isn't going to do it. You need to Odin the latest tar file to clean up whatever you have done to your phone. That will reset you to stock where Factory reset only deletes user data.
Here is the tar file:
File name: G920PVPU3BOJ7_G920PSPT3BOJ7_SPR.zip
Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087002159
md5: fe1d4a7b3ad20f3e79efc7526e95143d
Pm if you need a replacement screen
Hello @cruise350 and thank you for the post. I have some questions before I start on your advice, what exactly do you mean by "odin" the latest tar file? Also, what do you mean by reset me to stock? Stock as in when I bought the phone for the first time or another version of android?

Here is a video of how to reset your phone using Odin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv0BnfpNxEs
The TAR file linked above will reset your phone to the latest Samsung Sprint version, as if you had just bought it from a store. (Including all the latest security patches.)
It is not a customized ROM, it will be "stock." You will not have root, which is something added afterwards. You can find a thread here for how to add that, if you need it.
Same Issue With BRAND NEW PHONE
I am running into the same issue with my fiancee's mom. She bought an S6 from Best Buy last Wednesday and had this problem the next day. We took the phone back to Best Buy, only to have the same problem all over again.
Now that she is on her second phone, she took it into a Sprint store and called Sprint. The Sprint technical people who took her call gave her a code to punch in the dialer, but it has not helped.
