In my Settings menu, a "Software Update" option has appeared at the very end, just below "About Phone". When I select it, a small "No firmware" message pops up for a few seconds and goes away.
Anybody know what this is, what it means, where it came from, etc?
I was hoping it would fix my GPS and compass.
Its been there all along, once there is an official update from T-Mobile it will be in there...
yea ust wait until an update comes out :_)

Hi, just wondering if any of you did the same thing.
I booted into recovery by accident, then somehow I was looking for a reboot option I accidently selected "sim lock".
It threw out a 255 error code with the message "not a key card".
Wondering if it means anything. My phone works fine, but I'm wondering if I may have accidently done something to it. I'm running CM, so warranty doesn't cover it anymore.
Curiously yesterday I was wondering what that "sim lock" option might be... Lets see if someone can tell us what's all about.
Hi,
O was trying to flash the Spica i have with the 2.1 eclair from this site here (http://androidadvices.com/update-sa...-enhanced-eclair-21-firmware/4/#axzz1hUOWV4sN)
I followed all teh intructions, but on ODIN, i just get that it is detected and it trying to start tyhe connection...
reason why i wanted to flash to eclair is because im having ano boot problem, it just stays stuck on the samsung logo after loading and doesn't do anything else....
any suggestions??
after a few mins of looking for a solution outside xda after searching here for about 2 hours, i was able to resolve it, i followed the intructions from here(http://forum.samdroid.net/f28/phone-stuck-samsung-logo-my-phone-bricked-1840/)...
Keep spica_jc3.ops in Select OPS field.
Click Reset Files to clear the fields.
In Select Images to download panel, Select I570EXXJA1_CLI32638_Bootloader.tar into BOOT field,I570XXJB4_Phone.tar into PHONE field, I570EOLBJB3-CSC-CL167487-OLB.tar into CSA field, and let the PDAfield empty.
In Debug Option panel, tick Debug Only and PDA Format option. Don’t tick One Package option in Option Panel.
Click Start and watch the progress bar and timer, wait untill PASS message appear on Message box.
Problem:
No data service; I cannot call, nor text, nor use mobile data.
Symptoms/info:
Cannot change "Preferred Network Mode"
"Emergency Calls Only"
Network: unknown
Mobile network type: unknown
Service state: Out of service
Baseband version: G900R7WWU2AND8
IMEI: <this hasn't changed>
Phone: Ntelos Galaxy S5
S5 model: G900R7
I'm in an area with good service
A circle with a line through it indicating no internet data access
If I attempt to use the dialer: "Mobile network not available"
If I flash to a miui rom, I get the error: "LTE: ESM-x, EMM-15"
Possible Cause:
This seems to have probably occurred after an in-rom OTA update for the Mokee rom
Attempts so far:
Rebooted
Fiddled with APN/Network settings/preferred networks
Tried other roms
Restored previous build.prop
Restored previous apn setings
Flash stock modem
Restored stock rom using ODIN
Repartitioned with .pit file using ODIN
Used Kies' most recent stock rom
Nothing has helped a smidge. Any insight? I'm not afraid to get technical.

Thank you for the reply, but no matter what I enter into the dialer, I get the same "no mobile network" message. After typing in *#0011# the popup window in the attached screenshot appears. I suspect that a window whose menu has a "Back" category was expected to appear, so I was unable to accomplish steps 2 and 3.
I plan to take the phone to an nTelos store today, so maybe they can fix it. I just how they do not care that the knox is tripped
vndnguyen,
I am still experiencing the exact same problem as well. I'm updating with the info you requesed as we speak.
Thanks,
Tony
It's fixed!
So I went to store today, and they were baffled. The issues was that my phone was stuck in GSM mode, and refused to become CDMA again. They reset the network on their end, then that didn't fixed it, and said I could try restoring my phone to factory conditions through the back-up icon in the settings menu. Although I have restored it several times, myself, when they did it, it worked. The difference may have been because they had just reset something on their end before doing the restore. Anyway, it works now, and I am happy.
I've owned this phone for about a year now, it's really lightweight and cheap and it get's the job done most of the time. The only problem sometimes is the small storage size. It wanted to install an update on my device for some time but it never could because my storage was full, I didn't really care. Until one day I removed a ****ton of files because I wanted some more space. I put my phone on the charger and I went to sleep, I did not turn it off. The next morning when I want to check my notifications, I notice my phone is off. I turn it on and immediately get booted into this EMUI Huawei eRecovery screen. It gives me 4 options: "Download latest version and recovery", "Wipe data/factory reset", "Reboot", and "Shutdown". The Reboot and Shutdown options don't to anything to get me out of the menu, it just comes back up when I start my phone again. And obviously I want to stay away from a factory reset until it's actually necessary. So I tried the first option, it asked me to connect to a wifi network, which I did. It gives me the message "Getting package info from server" for a while, and then it says "Getting package info failed". Does anyone have an idea what causes this and how to fix it?
Greetings,
Tot
Ps: I did not install any custom roms nor did I root the device
Hi Everyone -
Last night when I went to sleep I left my PH-1 plugged in and charging, and when I woke up this morning the phone had frozen with a black screen and status light still blinking. I restarted the phone and end up at a screen with "Cannot Load Android System. Your data may be corrupt". The boot cycle goes "Powered by Android" --> circles to square dot rotation --> restarts to "Powered by Android" --> to screen mentioned before with corruption. I have options to "Try Again" or "Factory Reset" and have selected "Try Again" about 20 times now with no luck.
Some pertinent facts:
Running latest official OS from Essential
Bootloader unlocked
Phone is encrypted
When I flashed the latest official OS about a year ago I used TWRP, but forgot to re-install TWRP after the flash
I am able to get to the Bootloader --> "Recovery" --> "No Action Screen" and then get to the actual recovery from there; I am now kicking myself for not reinstalling TWRP. My options on the recovery screen are "apply update from ADB option", "mount /system", or "Factory Data Reset" (as well as review logs and some other tests).
Most of the data on the phone is backed up, however there are still some items not backed up that I'd like to attempt to retrieve.
My Question - What are my options to try and salvage the data off the phone provided it is encrypted? I've seen some references to using ADB update to re-flash the original OS (I assume this is a dirty flash) but not wipe the data and my data would still be there after the install. I've seen references for that approach but not confident enough to know if it would apply for my case. In example, would this work even with the encryption? Alternatively, I expect I could reinstall TWRP via ADB update and try to work something out from there.
Thank you in advance for reading this! I appreciate any and all insight or recommendations of an approach to take. As you can see, I'm clearly a novice who has followed some tutorials, but definitely not advanced enough to have strong knowledge of all of Android's innards. Thanks again.
