Xda Exec problem

Can anyone please help. Today my xda locked up so I carried out a soft reset. During the reset I noticed on the boot up screen in red letters no gsm. I tried everything in order to get the phone side of the xda to work with no joy. So I carried out a hard reset still no joy. Next I tried a rom upgrade that previously worked. I tried this in normall and in bootloader mode and I got the same error message: Error 120: Country ID Error. Can anyone please help me
Thanks
Brian

What fixed it Brian? That thread seems to be talking about upgrading the rom.
Were you using a standard Rom before it went wrong, or had you put one of the other ones on it? Reading these threads, some of these 'upgades' seem to be a bit risky to me.

He've got simlovcked phone(only for one network) becose of that he cannot flash rom from other provider(i.e. is locked on orange & wants flash o2 rom)

I was using the rom I downloaded form 02 web site which caused my phone to crash and not turn on. I then followed the instructions from the above link and loaded the rom in boot mode and the phone worked much quicker than ever before. This ROM worked superb for me Aku 3.5 Ivan test 2

Reset

One of my friends gave me his MDA and it has a password on it. Is there a way to reset the phone?

Read the wiki and see how to do a hard reset. The other option is just go to the original provider's website and download the latest rom and flash it.
Of course if they were really a friend, you could contact them and ask them for the password

Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo locked

I have a device I recently bought from the internet. It has a device protection on it. The seller says he cannot remember such information for me to gain access. So I am pretty much stuck.
How would I go about bypassing this?
Thank you in advance.

I have already tried to return and he was having none of it, it's been sat in the draw for the last month but I've only just round to try and bypass this.
Which at the moment looks highly impossible.

Is it on lollipop ?

I have no idea mate, I can't tell. It's just stuck on the 'Verifying your account' screen.
How would I go about checking with no access to the phone?
EDIT: I think it is on lollipop

Does anyone else have any advice at all?
Thanks

I really don't see any other solution , the best thing to do is to give him back the phone.

Hey Decl4n I have the same issue except, the owner has given me all info. The issue I'm having is the phone will not connect to wifi nor data. Was this the same for u??
---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------
I'm having the same issue but for me I have email and password. My issue is it say the connect thing I hit OK and I try to connect to wifi or data and it just sits there spinning and spinning and spinning.. so I can not proceed further. Any suggestions plz... thankyou

This is one method of getting around the Google FRP Lock:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD6RcS8ulGw
He basically uses a loophole on the first time setup WiFi page to launch Google Assist - bypassing the setup process, download/sideloads some apps and adds a Google Account.
You don't have to have the apps on a separate sd card; you can download them from apk-mirror using the Stock Browser, then go back and install them through My Files.
When rebooting the phone - it forgets about the previous owners Google Account that was on the phone.
It's quite funny really - not very good security.
I ran into this problem when I factory reset a G903F on the latest BTU firmware using the old HOME+VOLUP+POWER combo.
Flashing the latest firmware using ODIN with re-partition and erase NAND didn't even remove it.
Coming from an older S2 - I didn't realise that setting a lock screen pin activated other security mechanisms.
It basically thought I'd nicked it.
I should've factory reset it through the Settings > Backup & Restore menus - have to remember that!

BRICKED G935F , IMEI LOST PLEASE HELP.

Hi after flashing a rom not on xda my phone's IMEI became erased. unfortunately the EFI backup that I had wouldn't fix either. I tried going back to stock using SmartSwitch emergency recovery. Still no fixes.
Please help my phone cannot use cellular service!
Any idea Im all ears. I tried various methods for older Galaxys around the xda, none worked.
I know my IMEI and S/N how can I fix it.
Please help!!!!

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.

I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.

keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.

I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.

O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

It was not because of unlock. My phone was already unlocked. It happened after flashing a bad rom.

write stock rom

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?

Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.

The best thing you can do is ask your friend to reset his google password and then let him unlock your phone. That's the most XDA can help you with since we have no idea how the device was obtained. If he was your friend, he should take the responsibility of unlocking your phone.

Android phones require ONLY the Google account information to bypass the restriction.

Download the bypass app, then plug otg, install that then reset, i think that ur phone is not the newest version, so otg method would work
