ok guys i just picked up a play for att. sucks cause i have tmobile and wont get the 3/4g data. im almost always in wifi spots anyway so no big deal.
anyway i have already called att and got the phone sim unlocked. now if i think i understand this correctly this should be the order to follow. if you guys can confirm and provide latest links i would appreciate greatly.
1. sim unlock (done)
2. unlock bootloader (not yet)
3. root (not yet)
4. load rom (not yet)
correct??? did i miss anything? any preferred method on any of these? please advise.
thanks!!!
First of all, if you bought a xperia PLAY, you should probably post in the xperia PLAY forums.
Second of all, questions go in the Q & A forum.
To answer your question, that's pretty much the right order.

well somewhere along the line i bricked the phone.
i was able to install clockwork recovery. i then tried to install a rom. and it froze for well over 30 min. so now all i can get to is the se logo. cant boot into recovery on boot up at all. how do you check to see if you have an unlocked bootloader?
any chance of restarting over? loading the stock rom?

Have you tried to use SE PC companion to restore phone to factory state?
From support start update and click repair phone.
That could bring your phone back to life.

For img flash you can use flashtool.
You don't need root or anything to use flashtool on your phone.
Just pick correct .ftf for your phone and flash it to the phone.

If you were rooted before you don't need to re-root unless you purposely unrooted it. IF you aren't rooted anymore superoneclick or the zergrush(however it's spelled) is the easiest. I'm 99% sure you don't have an unlocked bootloader though, so you have very few options. I'd say re-root if you need to and unlock your bootloader so you can flash flash and flash custom roms like crazy

It got bricked because you didn't unlock your bootloader.
1.Root your phone
2.Install Recovery
3.Unlock Bootloader
4.FINALLY!! you install a rom okay?

You need to pay Setool credits in order to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to lose the sin lock as well, so you could have killed two birds with the same stone.

ya i just found the website. seems like thats the one everyone is sent to on this site.
im wondering now that im rooted if i can clean this stock rom up enough to use on a daily basis. i mean im using tmobile on the device so sharing internet would only be edge lol. i guess the only thing i really want ics for is that fact that its ics.
open the dial pad and use this code*#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration".
If it says unlock bootloader = no, then you have to use the paid service, if yes, then you can do it for free yourself.
Trying to get a T-Mobile Note II to connect to the network so I flashed to a custom ROM to see what that would do and that screwed up the IMEI to 0/00. Flashed back to a kinda-stock ROM but that didn't help.
Where can I get a 100% stock ROM that is untouched?
I have the IMEI on the box if theirs another way to fix it, but I'm not buying or making some crazy Ethernet/MicroUSB cable I'd just e-bay it before that.
Im confused if it was a tmobile phone why would ypu flash a rom to make it connect, was it not connecting stock? What rom did you flash are you sure its for right phone, how bout a Lil info

Call T Mobile and have them refresh your network connection. Maybe you need to get a new SIM card.

Hello dear all,
I bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy s6 phone in my country. As I am a bit curious, I noticed later on that the phone have been unlocked before I purchased it with the local seller, as it worked fined with my local SIM Card operator.
I also noted the phone was CDMA, as there was not anywhere I could setup an APN. I used a third party all, APN Configurator (downloaded from the Play Store) to define a custom APN and then I could go the the internet using mobile data. I used the phone for two days without any noticeable issue. Then, one night, I rebooted the phone and it got stuck into a bootloop, with a message displayed in red in the upper left corner of the screen : "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
I made some research and I understood FRP lock was a sort of protection related to OEM (which could be deactivated in Developer Options). I did not knew anythting about that. Anyway, as it was useless to me at this point since I could not even start the phone.
However, Download mode and Stock recovery were still available. I downloaded and flashed a stock rom for Sprint (G920PVPU3BOL1) and I flashed it via Odin. It went fine. Now when I boot the phone, It gives me the following message :
"Attention - Power off your device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device."
I get get past this screen. I only have Wifi-available, but still, I can't go anywhere with that.
I am loocking for a proper way/tutorial to bypass this screen and then unlock the phone from here.
Much thanks in advance.

Thanks @jinderation. I already came accross that tutorial. Unfortunately I can't apply it since it requires to install some APKs. I cannot even do that since I am stucked at the activation screen and I can't get past the message I mentionned before:
"Attention - Power off your device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device."
So, no way to access to the menu, where I can connect the device to a PC and then send an APK and then install it from the device.
So I am looking for a proper way to bypass the activation screen first. Then I can proceed with the tutorial you mentionned.
Take it to sprint.. Have u checked for its imei no. Whether its blacklisted or not...the seller whom u bought from did he make his payments to sprint cuz if he didnt then you are screwed..share the imei number here so i can check
U can also try flashing this firmware its 5.11 BOL1 as well i dont know where u had downloaded the firmware from mine is also unlocked but doesnt show the type of screen that you are mentioning

Except that the Sprint logo shown at startup is a bit annoying, and also the battery life which is quite short....

Bought an S6 recently and it was on 5.1.1. It was already rooted and not showing firmware update option. So we thought we will flash the stock ROM and flashed the SM-G920P 6.0.1 ROM. After this, the phone displays the following message and SIM card is not showing any signal "Power off your device and insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device". Any suggestions to fix this issue?

If u ever have the prob again contact stifilz. He does the remotely for free.
Hello everyone,
I have a pretty big issue with my HTC 10 which I installed LineageOS 16 on.
Last week I got the HTC 10 from my dad because he switched to a POCO F1 because the HTC has the battery problem (fast draining, phone powers off when trying to use camera etc.).
Since I was on a LG G3 which has the common display problem I took the HTC and didn't care much about the battery.
When I got the phone it was updated to Android 8 via OTA. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, then LOS 16 (2019-02-02 build) and 9.0 gapps.
First I had no sim card because the G3 used micro SIM. Then I ordered a new one from o2 since it's free and has a 3 size adapter. When it arrived I tried to put it into my phone and was surprised that it still says no sim card.
It should work because my dad also has an o2 sim card and only one week passed since I got the phone so I don't think this is a hardware failure.
I have read something that I only can use Android 8+ ROM on 8 firmware but it was updated to 8 so it should have the 8 firmware, right?
IMEI is shown in settings too and there was something about flashing RUU to get to stock and having the 8.0 firmware.
If I really need that (which I want to avoid since I have to backup data and I have much data) can someone give me a link to Android 8 RUU?
I have a unbranded HTC 10 from Germany if that matters.
Thank you in advance,
VetrixFX

Being a custom rom with aosp base and a non standard/foreign provider, you likely need to manually set your apn.

I can't configurate my APN when the SIM card is not detected. There is no SIM card PIN prompt and it is a non-branded phone. My dad used the same provider as me with this phone but he was on Stock while I flashed it.

Oh, I see.
I would suggest going back to a stock based rom or RUU and see if it's actually working there.
Rather then relying on a custom based rom while troubleshooting it.
Could be a sudden hardware failure in the Sim slot/reader.

Flash the stock 3.16.401 ruu (its easy to find here as its linked a lot) and check if the sim works.

So here is the 2nd problem. I can't find a RUU where I am sure that is 99% compatible with my phone.
Also, I'm not real familiar with O2, but possibly the new SIM card needs to be activated...? (Pay as you go requires it, unfamiliar with other options)
I didn't see where you said if you tested the new sim in another phone. My apologies if I missed it.

Yeah I forgot to mention that I tested the SIM in another phones.
I tested it in my Xperia SP and in my dad's POCO F1 and the PIN prompt comes. And the card is already activated.

Ok, that's good.
The RUU you need has been posted multiple times and is referenced on many threads on here.

So the link you gave me was dead too but in this thread I was able to find a working link.
But it's slow but again I found a link in a german forum which hosted the RUU on G-Drive.
Still thank you.

Odd, link works for me.
Takes me to the file on Ziands AFH, as it should.
Anyhow, glad you were able to follow the bread crumbs...

Ah now I get why the link was dead. The first time I clicked on your link it somehow took me to the last post on this site and THIS link was dead. Now that I opened it again the link on the post you linked me to was working but I think it was the slow one

So I installed the RUU and SIM still won't work. :/
Guess it's a hardware problem. What could it be tho?

Like I said, most likely the Sim card reader itself has gone bad or has lost its connection to the board.

You could give this old trick a shot, if you want.
Might be worth a try.
