i bought an A52s from ebay which is on retail demo mode. i managed to take the demo mode off however the phone doesnt have the playstore installed, cannot factory reset via settings menu or hard reset.
whenever i try to instal the playstore apk, it would install fine and then fail to launch.

I don't know, you can try. Do you have IMEI now?, if this is just like a regular device i don't see why it wouldn't work.

It has to be connected on pc via the usb cable to go into recovery mode. Volume up + power button.
volume down + power button for Download mode & odin.

Have you tried turning the phone off, then press volume up and down at same time and connect USB to PC. That should boot you into recovery.

found something called Frija, looks to be doing its job at the moment
managed to succesfully flash a stock rom,. however, the KNOX software looks like its preventing anything from being installed, even preventing the wallpaper from being changed.
any other suggestions before i start an ebay return?

Is there anyone who can help me fix my a52? It has null imei after numerous reflashes, wifi work, just cellular is not working. I read about broken EFS unfortunately I dont have it backed up, is there a way to extract it from phone and repartition it to fix the cellular? One chinese person who messaged me offered me help, then asked 150 for the fix when I told him I would think about it he tried something on my device, he then ghosted my messages.
I read somewhere that tools like chimera can help fix this?

There are some tools that can repair the IMEI, one called IMEI repair tool, it doesn't require any fee: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...YQFnoECAgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2-FpI_TTLca34H7AA0RHpQ
I don't know if it works or not because I never had a case where i had to repair my IMEI. Give it a try

I need something like a odin flashable tar that wipes cache /resets (because this usually fixes the stuck on logo)

flashing anything with a fluky power button is very hazardous. If it goes off in the middle of something, your device could be toast.
I'd get it fixed before doing anything. if it can't be fixed....phone shopping time! [emoji106]

this happened with me once. long long time ago
But I swear I cant remember why
here try this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbAJH_mL6N4
another well explained guide for solving using kies : http://androidcentral.us/2013/09/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/
In case anyone doesn't know.....Odin won't see your device if kies is running. You need to kill the kies process. Make sure there's no mention of it in windows task manager.
Then, if your drivers are installed right....Odin should see your phone.
Also, I've always had the best luck with Odin 3.04.

exactly ... kies is utter ****!
I would never recommend it too. A pure waste of time
Also, see what your phone shows as in windows device manager. If its listed with an "!" on it....the drivers may need to be reinstalled. If windows doesn't see it correctly, either will Odin. ?
Problem solved, I reinstalled drivers.
That simple.
Thanks for the video btw, I even added the guy from youtube channel
Hi all
I got a notification of the latest software upgrade available for my device. I downloaded it and installed it. The installation process was shown to have reached 100% and then the phone screen went black and then did not turn back up. When I connect the phone to charger, I do not see any battery charging icon
I had my phone connected to the power outlet while I was upgrading? Is my phone bricked? Any way I can resolve this issue? My phone is out of warranty.
I have never ever rooted the phone. Not sure why would this happen with an official software upgrade.
Any help will be immensely appreciated

After successful flash the phone will reboot automatically and will stay on bootloop, while rebooting press and hols home+vol.up+power button. Then factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe cache. Then reboot system..
Why not PDA? When i flashed stock rom i choose PDA and choose the file.
Auto reboot and f.reset time are the only checked boxes

Hi
I have a Note 2 (international GT-N7100) that does not start. It shows a firmware upgrade error (attached) when i switch it on. I can only enter download mode (attached). I am being told the phone suffered SDS but in download mode you can still see the product name (attached). Prior to the problem i have never been rooted or had a custom ROM installed. It simply rebooted one day all by itself and when booting showed the upgrade error
I have tried re flashing via Odin in everyday possible, including the PIT file. All methods fail. A friend as said the bootloader is corrupt. I tried re flashing that but also no luck.
Is there a way of using an external SD card to get up and running? Or any other ideas out there.
Thanks and much appreciated.

Hello guys. I was having some trouble with imei. After a lot of struggling(formatting old rom, new rom, deleting partitions etc.) my phone now bricked. Computer only shows Quallcom HS-USB 9008 Qpst idetifies as *DOWNLOAD* nothing more. I think I need qfil flash files. Any help is welcome.
I kid you not try holding power and volume down for something like 2 minutes, I had a Nexus phone that got stuck in download mode and holding the buttons that long is what it took to cancel download mode and go to the bootloader. Now obviously that won't fix your phone if you erased the bootloader by accident but it's worth a shot.

Just flash the official ROM, To enter download mode in your condition: connect the phone to PC, then press and hold volume down + power key, when screen blank quickly release power key then press and hold volume down + volume key, you should in download mode.

It's a tool for repair and backup your firmware! It's able to reflash stock os like the old Samsung Kies.

Some sites where I found the mentioned device's rom.

Thanks for the links, I'm trying to download some firmware from these sites.
