OEM issues - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hello. 3 weeks ago I was testing lineage 19 and had decided to install the gapps. The problem is, when I was trying to start TWRP it did not start from the twrp logo so I tried to flash from odin TWRP 3.4.0 to "try" to fix the recovery. When the phone did not start I decided to reinstall the official rom but I only found a version that worked flashing by odin (mexican version. at&t) the phone started and I decided to wait 7 days for the oem unlock to reappear. The problem is that 8 days have passed and oem unlock is still not available and when I go back to download mode it says rmm prenormal.
Will it have to do with having used a telephony rom when installing stock? I have no idea why it does not appear (it should be clarified. I did not turn off the device or disconnect from the internet in all that time, only when it was already on the eighth day because it was already very saturated) Sorry if I'm posting this wrong, or if you misunderstand what I'm trying to say. It's my first time writing here and I don't speak enough English to write this for myself. So I'm trying to "improve" the google translation changing some words
Thank you very much for reading this post and any help is welcome.

not really. After what I have mentioned, I completely cleaned the phone many times. until a week ago I remembered that I just bought the mobile it took approximately 13 days for the oem unlock to appear. (I suppose that because it is a company it will take longer, I don't know) and a friend told me to wait approximately 300 hours (I have currently 222 hours). I feel that if it does not appear again I will be forced to buy a new phone :/

damn that sucks and weird, everyone said they just wait 7+ days without power off the phone and worked... first time i read about waiting more time, are you sure your phone isnt power off in the waiting time?

I am pretty sure. I do not turn off the mobile at all or disconnect it from the mobile data since I cannot make calls because of the VoLTE that is not available so I always receive calls through third-party applications. It should be clarified that I do not have an automatic restart activated, I also registered the mobile in the updates. At the moment I have 250 hours, I will wait 2 days to see if my theory is true.

It still appears that the phone has been on for 250 hours in the settings. so I don't think it's because of some reboot or shutdown :/

If you dint re lock the bootloader when you installed that rom, the bootloader is unlocked right now, but pretty sure you have the samsung rmm in prenormal and thats why to "fix" it we need to wait 7+ days of usage so you should enter in download mode and check your RMM setting again or you should try to install another rom, could be some issue with that one

I had thought about that, but there are a lot of problems to find and download the correct version for the binary. I was still doing searches when I updated to android 8 just to install TWRP and they also match the 13 days that I had mentioned before. if it doesn't appear again I'll have to download another rom at 50kbps
When updating use odin since by chance the OTA update did not work. The same thing happened to lose the oem unlock and while I was preparing everything to install TWRP, approximately 20 days passed. but I already had the unlocking after 15 days.

I want to thank you for the program. It worked perfectly (although I used it from android because I was too lazy to turn on the PC) Today at dawn I installed the romania version (I used that version the first time I installed TWRP) All the AT&T garbage is gone
Now I only have to wait 7 days to see if the rom had any errors (Curiously when trying to update the available time zones by restarting it never updated. I think that was the problem)
Sorry for the question. But, did the oem unlock appear to you in all this time that passed?
Since you commented approximately 9 days ago until now I thought I'd ask you if the oem unlock appeared even using a rom that had the at&t logo

Your welcome mate right now i have 143h(my fault i restart it lol) so we will see tomorrow if the option appear, still i dont care about the OEM option because it was set ON last time because i was using LOS, but the "RMM state = Prenormal" in download mode its what is locking my phone to be available to change rom, so yeah we will see tomorrow!

Saddly dint work, gonna try installing a old version of my country code or try to get a clean version, not this weird thing with att $ht
Edit:nothing seems to work so i installed the newest update of my country and debloat the rom... it let it to my mom again and she will be using a good amount of time 4 weeks and ill check again.
Edit 2: seems we are out of options now https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-expired-certificate-whats-next-lol.4403393/

Yup. that explains everything. It seems that in the end I will have to change my phone, do you think there is a way to remove the prenormal RMM? I'm not very experienced in mobile development. This really makes me cry

There are apps for repair services (like ChimeraTool) that can unlock it. Wouldn't be free, though.

Again im in the 7th day with 171+h and OEM is missing so pretty sure the rmm its prenormal i really dont know now, you can search the telegram group and ask its called "A5/A7 2017 ROMS" i asked for help but they just give me this, they say for them works this method and they did it recently.

I wonder what is "recent" I also tried this when I had the ATT rom. it didn't work for me anyway. I would try if it works but I'm already tired of flashing stock rom every time I try
I guess I'll wait for it to just unlock or I don't know

Yeah forget about it, I tried today all the tricks again many times and nothing, I'm gonna try a month without power off the phone but right now my hopes are lost.

Note 2 stuck on Samsung Logo

Couldnt find threads related to my specific device so i made it.
After installing a custom rom on my tmobile gn2 (hyperdroid pegasus) i realized that my SIM card wasnt being detected. Having run into this problem before i decided to use the gn2 toolkit to re-flash a stock rom and start from scratch, which worked and allowed my sim card to be detected use my mobile network (TMOBILE USA)
Only after installing hyperdroid and trying to reflash the stock rom, the custom hyperdroid rom would stay on the device after multiple attempts! Being clever, i decided to download and reflash the rom using ODIN only in download mode which worked and now the device is running the Samsung Official build branded with tmobile but will not boot past the samsung logo (one of two that i see appear upon boot)
Looking at a thread for the original Note 1, do i assume correctly that my phone is now bricked? If so, anyone else know of an absolute md5/tar image i can use that can get me back to factory out of the box, i bought this phone unsubsidized over the iphone5 because i wanted something that woulc pack a wallop. Now im just walloping myself for wasting not just 100 dollars more but 750 dollars on a device, running an os, being supported by everyone who wants their hands on it, in a community that will chew you out if you ask incorrectly.
So im whining yes but i could use some advice. Sure im a noob but so were you once, all i reall ask for is some compassion. thanks...
Did you try factory reset?

Thanks for replies, really appreciated
I cannot begin to explain this ordeal i had with my note 2. Thanks for the replies as of this point however, actually directions that i took in figuring it all out and getting my phone back to factory defaults...
So to elaborate, my N2 has been rooted for a few days and i decided to install a custom ROM, which disabled or didn't support my SIM. Trying to undo the flash and go back to a ROM i was using via ROM manager, i realized it could not be undone. Every time i tired to reflash a(ny) zip from my device using rom manager i was still booting with the custom malfunctioning rom (Hyperdroid Pegasus)
After realizing that i couldn't undo the flash of the custom rom via ROM manager, the galaxy note 2 toolkit or via ODIN straight up, i somehow ended up bricking my phone using an image i got off of samsung-updates (which i downloaded using the galaxy n2 toolkit). In bricking i mean it would power on and boot into the samsung whirlpool, then the tmobile 4g accelerated android, and then to a glowing samsung logo and didn't progress from there.
Doing some research i noticed that there was a more recent image version for my specific device (jan 5 2013) downloaded it and gave that a try, flashed it via ODIN (because by the time it was bricked Download mode / Odin mode and ODIN 3.07 for windows was my only available option!) and launched up my gn2... ONLY to find it booting to the animations and then looping them! WTF?!
So more research and i got to a recovery mode, wiped my data and finally voila. (Even samsung support couldn't support this...)
No discredit to the Hyperdroid Rom, I'm sure it works for a lot of people out there but i guess it doesn't like my tmobile note 2 sgh-t889.
I just hoped if anyone else ran into the same problem, download the image from samsung-updates.com, the latest of course! Then, (if you can boot into download mode that is) use ODIN (i used version 3.07) to load the image you got off samsung-updates (OSM will take more or less 5 minutes to check the md5 package so don't panic)
If your lucky you shouldn't have to do anything else, but if you get into a weird situation when you can't get past the boot animation screens, boot into recovery mode (which i THINK is hold down UP, POWER, AND THE HOME KEY as it powers up) and select to CLEAR WIPE DATA or FACTORY RESET.
Hopefully after wiping you should have successfully re-flashed a "bricked" galaxy note 2 that won't boot past the animation screens.
Thanks for reading! Im here to answer any questions or help, maybe i won't play with custom rome anymore but id sure like to start building my own!

To both you guys, i just want to say i elaborated on your answers for the benefit of helping someone like me who craves detail. No offense to you guys, but i was racketing with Samsung about this and driving their people nuts! the solution had came to me before i saw your replies so I'm just glad i took the right path in it all and i guess i admit i lost faith in XDA for a second there. anyways :good:
So wait, in all that flashing and reflashing and messing with Odin, you hadn't done a factory reset yet? Isn't that the first step almost any ROM dev(or even any normal flashoholic on these forums) will tell you to take?

I give you permission to call me a newb, Okay? Feel better and call me in the morning.
Lol no need to get offended man It's a learning experience.
I only said something because you seemed so bitter about your perceived lack of support around here and even went so far as to say you almost lost faith in xda, yet it seems like you didn't do step 1.
At any rate, glad your note 2 is revived

Lol, funny picture. Yes i almost lost faith but obviously you guys came through. I am one of 4 million people who did or didnt follow the rules but thats a good thing, i think the tmobile jellybean community needs as much help as it can get right now and if it takes making a tiny mistake good for us.
actually shinkinrui, i wasnt sure if you were trying to troll me or trying to remind me that this forum is for the leet and the leet only. I understand the work devs go through, but its still a community that needs to thrive, not be put off or put down.
Neither, actually. I was annoyed at the implication that it was this community's fault you went through your ordeal. Like someone blaming their cable company for their cable not working when they just didn't change the input on their TV.
And my post didn't insult you, it pointed out your mistake. Big difference
Thanks !!!

you cannot clear cache from stock recovery.
Only data. (act as reset anyways)
just odin another firmware see if it continues.
Update works most of the time, if you let it sits for around 15 minutes after updating.
Many people got problem after system updates was caused by themselves really.
Rules for updating.
1) let it sits for 15 minutes after update.
2) Do not do manual reboot right after update. (After auto reboot) (Wait for 15 Minutes -- minimal)
3) Do not run/install/download right after update. (Leaving it alone for 15 minutes)
4) make sure nothing is running before tapping system update. (reboot, wait 3 minutes, then press system update) / or clear ram from task manager before tapping system update
*Reasons: update is installed, but it might have to convert/translate certain already existing data. We don't know, but just to avoid data corruption, just leave it alone and do not interrupt the process by doing anything above.
The problem still persist...even after resetting the device through recovery and settings... now when I try to update it says that I have the latest update what do I do. Where do I get another firmware if I wana odin the device. This is really annoying help me please

I'm having the exact same issue that you are, and it is in fact extremely annoying. I'm the one that posted the firmware for our device (linked in the post above this,) and it will not fix our problem.
I've flashed stock rom, modified rom, modified kernel, stock kernel, wiped every single thing possible, and have had absolutely no luck with getting the touch panel (digitizer) working properly again.
It has something to do with the tsp driver being corrupt, or stuck in a constant loop of powering on/off. If you connect to ADB and run "dmesg" you will see over and over again
"[TSP] DVFS On!" and then [TSP] DVFS Off!"
Something to do with "melfas-ts," I think.. As far as I know, it's a Mali chipset, and we need to somehow get the kernel to reinitialize it, or remove it and then reinstall it..

Dude the problem is resolved.... i went to a samsung servicing center told them about the problem, they said it would take atleast 2 days to check it. Finally the tab is working absolutely ok as it should be. Said they had to change the motherboard. Thats all they said as there was a problem linked with it. Why don't you get it checked and i think thats the only solution rather then hampering the device. Good luck. I also tried almost everything.

I appreciate the input, and I have actually already sent it off to a service center this morning. However, I'm a hardware hacker, and know what I'm doing with it - it's the touch panel controller that needs the firmware reflashed onto it. If I could reflash the firmware myself, I would have much rather done that, and also had a fix for everybody else. I need the device too bad for work at the moment, or I wouldn't have even bothered sending it in.

I rooted my device when i got this phone, use it with Odin, and earlier this morning, i tried to unroot it, 'cause i want to update the phone, since it says that i modified my phone and blah blah.. so i unroot my phone using supersu, and restart the phone, but i still can't update the phone, so i give up and i tried to root the phone again
what i did was:
1) i connect my phone, open PDA
2) next, i'm not really sure which file i was supposed to open, so i click random file .-. most likely the third or second one, i'll show you how it look like

and that's when it started to go wrong.. when i tried to turn it back off and on again, it stuck at the logo screen where it says samsung note 3, it just stuck there.
next i tried to root the phone again, i thought if i did it again correctly, it might work, so i open the pda file again and clicked CF-auto root file (most likely)
it still doesnt work..
then i tried to press the power button + up + home, it doesnt work, it showed the android thing and then get back straight on the logo screen again, and it just stuck there.
i tried again over and over, i even pulled out the battery, but it doesnt work.
i wonder if i should go to t-mobile and had them repair it, but i doubt they will, since they would know i rooted my phone, and besides i dont even know if i have the warranty or not.
please someone help me, thank you very much!!!

--update-- 4:36 pm
when i tried to charge the phone, theres this loading sign but, the green things wont show up, you know how you charge your phone and then theres this green thing that shows up . or has it always been that way?
the screen wont turn off too, it usally does.
First off welcome.. 2nd. What update . There is not a tmobile update.
3rd.. You need to know what your doing with Odin. You can muff your phone up if you dont know..
That being said read this. ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46084013 read thru it 2 or 3 times and do exactly what I wrote

whenever i reboot my phone they told me to update, but since i root my phone, i cant do that. they said something about my device being modified. yes i know, sorry about that, i was being stupid, i shouldve read the instructions again.
that being said, why should i tried to root the phone again? i doubt that trying to root the device again will solve the problem, since when i did that last time, it passed, but the device wont start and i stuck at the samsung logo. i bet something like that will happen again. soo... is there a reason why you think it will work?
btw thanks for replying.

Your not stupid m8 don't bash yourself. Every single Member here was new once. We all make mistakes and ask for Help. Its ok. But you should of done some reading bud I dont like odin myself but had to use it to root my note3 and note2 but always read and read because if you stop for a moment think about it. 700$ device can become worthless in just a click.

The thread I linked isnt rooted its stock just like the first time you turned it on
Trust me the things you showed that you could have flashed wouldn't kill your phone. Just do what the linked thread says. If it still won't boot let me know ( here or in pm) . Btw I wasn't trying to bash. ☺??

thank you!! it worked!! but my device still hast been rooted yet, i wonder if i should root it ? .. but i dont want the same thing to happen twice TT TT . oh i think the problem happen because of my original usb, it doesnt fit perfectly to my phone, so sometimes it got disconnected quiet a lot, unless i hold it.. i wonder if it got disconnected while i try to root the phone? anyways, thank you very much.

baseband error [CHINA]

That's my first post on xda, I'm sorry for my English.
The problem is that i changed the GSM band to USA BAND in *#*#4636#*#*, then it cannot match chinese GSM band. Before I did this change, GSM has worked well and phone or SMS could work. Someone said that the same problem has been reported on Moto X, but esay to solve: erase modemst in fastboot. Or the same problem on Sony Xperia series, it needs flash radio.img.
NOW I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL, but still cannot work.
unlock and reset to factory data
double wipe in recovery
fastboot erase modemst1 ------failed, failure information is "REMOTE: not support to erase this partition"
flash factory image, both MDB08I and MDA89F
flash radio file
so...I think that i need the baseband file to flash, but such a new phone how can i find it?
OR maybe caused by same reason that TWRP cannot work before FORMAT but not wipe to unlock the secure partition?
------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: QUESTION SOLVED
Thanks a lot to developers. bidomo gave a effective method on #10, and #31 may be helpful too.
At last, i tried to erase modemst1 and finally solved this problem, but it's so hard, it must through ADB to open the Linux file system immediately, find the modemst1 folder's location and delete it.
I did the same thing with my 5x a few days ago. I am so fed up looking for solutions that apparently do not exist. I have factory reset the phone. Flashed a few roms, flashed 3 different stock firmware versions and investigated a few toolkits to see if there are any interesting options that might help me out. Nothing.
Im in Croatia though. I bought the phone from Amazon.de and its a Dutch model. Everything was working great before I had a brain fart and changed the setting.
Im getting quite despondent about this.
Would love some input for me and the guy above.

So what exactly is the problem you are having with your phone?
Mark.
Firstly, thank you for the prompt reply to this issue.
As the first poster did, I changed my radio band to USA and have no applicable settings on my phone which will allow me to change back to my European band. So, as a result I am unable to use my phone. It reads, no service. To be exhaustive, I have obviously turned phone on and off, aeroplane mode, changed to a different sim card, factory reset, flashed radio.img files on top of stock rom, flashed all the firmwares available for this device over fastboot, flashed pure nexus rom to see if it might have an automatic or global mode for providers like i recall CM roms having a few years ago. All to no avail. So now I am standing in front of my laptop with my reflashed stock 5x, downloading my apps over a spotty 3g broadband connection, hoping that someone such as yourself will have a file, zip, or answer for me.

First thing to try is an app called Nexus 5 field test mode. Im not sure if it will let you do anything for the 5X but its worth a shot. You need to be rooted to use this app so you may want to do that first.
Mark.
Thanks for the reply. I will get to it later on today when I get some time. However obsessed Im being over this issue, I cant ignore my 2 year old like I did yesterday. I just wished to ask what would be the second, third thing I might do if this app does not work or help. Just so I can crack on with something else asap.
Again, I appreciate the help.
Marko
'This app is only for nexus 5'. The play store showed incompatibility but I went and downloaded an .apk anyway. Nothing. What next?
Thank you again for any interest in helping me rescue my phone. Like I said before, I can't just "take it back to the store" or anything like that.
Marko
Having read and read and read some more, it seems that the course of action is 'simply' to flash a new or rather original QCN file using QPST software. However....I need a European Nexus 5x QCN file and...well, knowledge on how to use the tool.
Marko
maybe somebody whith knowledge can find out the solution from the source code https://android.googlesource.com/pl....0_r26/src/com/android/settings/BandMode.java

Before both of you start editing and/or wiping your efs to cause more issues
I made a custom rom for nexus 5x which instead of querying the baseband for available band modes just displays all six band modes. I could not test it on a nexus 5x as I dont have the device, but for my nexus 5 it does work
When I set usa band I lose my signal, but when I select automatic band selection or euro band I get back my signal.

Here is the nexus 5x rom
I hope it will boot up, and will fix your problem.
Wow. First of all, let me start of by saying THANK YOU VERY MUCH for showing an interest. Im going to download now and give it a try for sure. Im sorry that I did not reply to your prior post, I was just not in a sort my phone out mood in the last few days as I was more concerned with my daughters first few days of nursery.
I stated in another thread that I made a couple of days ago that I was going to send my phone back for a replacement which I did not think I would be able to do. But I still would rather see if your rom works to set back my bandmode instead. Rather than waiting weeks and keeping my fingers crossed so that a truly faulty unit does not make its way into my hands, if at all.
Again, even if this doesnt work, I really appreciate the help, not only as per your second post, but simply for your reply in the first instance.
Marko
thank you bitdomo it works and i back to stock factory rom and still works ....
Hi all, I have the exact problem on my newly nexus 6p phone, any chance if anyone can made custom rom for it as well?

I think I failed about extracting the proprietary files for nexus 6p from the system image. Sadly google still havent release the proprietary binaries for nexus 6p.
I will try to build a rom based on purenexus rom but I left home and will not come back until weekend. So you have to wait or build your own android by commenting out
if (size > 0) {
for (int i=1; i<size; i++) {item = new BandListItem(bands);
mBandListAdapter.add(item);
if (DBG) log("Add " + item.toString());​

locked bootloader A720F. Help!

Greetings to all XDA users, recently, I was testing these days for my A7, the available kernel, 2 days ago I saw that in whatsapp when playing an audio, the headset did not work with the proximity sensor, no matter how long out the note, it did not work or putting my finger, it worked on calls from my phone service and whatsapp but not on audios and I gave myself the task of reinstalling stock, installed a rom from Russia about October, and when I gave to the task of installing the twrp, and it appears 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed', investigate and read what could have been blocking the bootloader, not let me put more stocks rom odin, or downgrade, I hope that Can you help me please, this live without root is a serious thing, after so many years of flashing kernels and rom's that this happens to me, I hope you can help me, sorry for the English, I have translated it in google translator. :crying: :crying:

This time the screen should change to first change the time to a month ago to restart then check for updates to see when was the last test if the time changed a month ago, reboot and go into the time settings include auto-negotiation go to the firmware update check the update, look at the last update time if the time was correct then restart your bodies and then check the boot loader.Reboot one last time is already activated by the OEM. Try it, some people are lucky on The A520 and they haven't waited a week.
