Hi there everybody, I am a first time poster and I have looked around the site looking for an answer but I'm not even sure what I am looking for so here's my question, yesterday I bought my 9 year old son a Galaxy A5 6 2017, playing about in the setting I seen "your phone has been compromised press restart to fix the problem" or something very close to that, so I rebooted and now the phone wont load up and in the top left of the screen I see this message, "custom binary blocked by ftp lock" please can some person help me fix this problem, I'm not a tech type but don't mind trying anything, I understand that this is a custom software and honestly I do not mind what software goes on to it as long as the end result is a working phone for my son, up until I rebooted it I thought it was a great phone running android 7, I am in Dublin, Ireland, the phone is unlocked to all networks, just in case that matters, Thanks in advance for any help

Hi everyone. I bought a galaxy note 2 from a friend two days ago and now I cant make calls, use 4g data or send/recieve sms, everything else works (including wifi), let me be as clear as possible as to what happened.
I purchased the phone from my friend 2 days ago and it was working fine. its a Telcel (mexico) galaxy note 2 N7100. I tested the device fully and everything was working, I made calls etc and data was wotking also.
I took the phone home and used a soft damp cloth to wipe the battery cover clean, it was greasy and all note I removed the battery cover from the device. Afterwards I replaced the battery cover, connected to my home wifi and then there was a message on my phone "set up software update' which i agreed to .
I then switched my sim card with a different one( it had call credit on it). and upon powering on the phone, i was greeted with a screen with a small padlock and the words "SIMLOCK". i swiped up and bypassed that screen. MY PHONE WAS SHOWING 4 SIGNAL BARS BUT UPON TRYING TO MAKE A CALL OR SEND A TEXT MESSAGE, I keep getting error messages such as "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK".
I have tried every single thing to get rid of this. I even purchased galaxsim unlock from the playstore and it claimed to have removed the simlock but i kept getting that screen with the padlock and simlock message and also no calls or text can be send or recieved. I tred different custom roms, official roms, I tried flashing different kernels, modems etc you name it and still I cant use my phone.
The phone was on android version 4.1.2, now its on the official/rooted 4.3. I read online that samsung may have region locked my phone but this is very strange because my friend was using it for several months. and the issue arised when I took it home. I have never given up on an android device EVER. I have spent days trying and succeeding in unbricking phones but for the first time i actually feel helpless.
I have used so many samsung devices befoe including a galaxy s4 from europe without any problems.
Lasty even when there is no simcard in the phone, THE PHONE IS SHOWING 4 TO 5 SIGNAL BARS ALL THE SAME, IS THIS NORMAL??? also the phone detects the simcard, i can see my contacts etc. The phone can search and detect available networks also but when i try to connect to a network manually it fails to do so, or sometimes it will connect but i still get that message saying network not available.
also the phone only allows emergency calls, but when I try to to dial emergency it says OUT OF SERVICE AREA. Someone please help me if you can

Download patched mk4 kernel and patched mj5 bootloader from this link flash via odin on pda tab. https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0B6MIUd7HJudAbU5YaGkzOUowMG8
Hello!
I bought a refurbished Tab S from Amazon. Got it this past weekend, logged in and set it up and it runs great over Wi-Fi. However, I'm getting an error while it's trying to activate the tablet and it fails every time I ask it to check for an update to the OS (it's on 4.X right now).
I found a post saying you do down volume once, up twice, etc... but that doesn't seem to do it. Unless I'm doing it wrong? I unlock the tablet, am at the home screen and then try it.
Thank you!
it will not update if it's not on the verizon network and it probably won't activate without a sim in it.
if it's working, don' worry bout it.
Have you tried kies/smart switch?
If someone here can catch the ota and upload it you could flash it with odin.
I dont know if anyone can help me or not but heres my situation: My samsung galaxy s6 edge plus control has been stolen from me by my fiance, we have a T-mobile account together he is the primary account holder (lost my job) and hes using my account info as if it is his, Ill give an example, all the data he uses shows under my phone number and mine under his number, I know hes useing my imei # I was able to find that out, so anyway its a crazy situation and no excuses for that but he has a lot of insecurities from a past marriage? But regardless I need to know if theres a tool or command line info I can use. I have tried resetting my phone several times and tried disconnecting from the samsung account many times but all ending the same way him with all my info from my phone, I have nothing to hide but its the, I have the right to have control over my phone and privacy and untill my job situation has been resolved Im stuck with this predicament thank you so much for any help you can give me with my technical issue.
So like the title says, my dad locked his Lg G5. The Android Secure-Startup is currently at 9/10 attempts left to before all the data on the phone is lost. He hasn't used this phone in about over a year which means it's no longer in service and not connected to the internet. The phone is completely stock, I do not know what version of android he last installed on it, and I believe I only have access to the phone through Recovery and Download mode. Is there anyway I get can remove the pattern without having to perform a hard reset to the phone, my dad doesn't want to lose any of the pictures he has on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sadly you are out of luck most likely. You would need to resort to the sort of law enforcement phone encryption unlock methods that we all heard about how fbi wanted apple to bypass the lock screen for the san bernadino killer? It's not impossible but It will require a lot more resource than you can get on here ;(
If anyone got something else they can offer, i am sure it would be welcome... but my guess is not. ;(
