A few weeks ago I updated my firmware to froyo via Kies, which worked, no data loss, so great.
Today Kies offered the latest firmware, so I agreed. Selected the back up options and continued. A window popped up to say backup failed, but the firmware upgrade continued with no option to stop it. This also failed and left my phone unusable. Kies firmware recovery didn't work either. I got my phone back working with Oden3 and I9000XWJV1 firmware. So now I'm running v2.3.2. Unfortunately because the backup failed I lost all my account details, contacts and apps.
The main reason for upgrading was I wanted to use a SIP account and my friends Nexus running Gingerbread had this option, but my i9000 still does not.
To get the SIP account option, will I need to root the phone and install a custom firmware? Or are there any apps which will let me use my SIP account on the i9000.

I'm not surprised that after 7 hours no one has bothered to reply
1) Kies offers a firmware upgrade recovery option from the pull-down menu - its happened to me...it works
2) Why did you install JV1 via Odin? - its a GB beta release and is notoriously flakey...I can't imagine a worse option. You need to use any of the stable 2.3.3 firmwares, the latest being JVO and available from Samfirmware.com
3) Your account details are pretty easy to enter aren't they? Losing your contacts is dumb....the whole point of this technology is that you sync to your gmail account so you never need to worry about trashing your phone or losing it...just log on to another and away you go.
Sorry to sound harsh mate but your post is just a lesson to anyone else who doesn't follow some common sense rules.
Fortunately you haven't bricked your phone....recommend you do (2) above, then do some reading on here about backing up, how to use your google account properly, not saving contacts on your phone .....and generally getting the most out of your £350 piece of kit
Thanks for the reply. I installed that firmware from a quick Google (I was at work when Kies messed up my phone and very busy). I just popped over to SamFirmware and downloaded the latest firmware (XXJVO), which Odin3 installed without loosing my apps, etc (just a few settings as you would expect). All appears well, for now.
Spent some time Googling last night and I found CSipSimple, which works nicely with my SIP account.
Still Not sure why my contacts where not saved to the google account, it had 5 of them. Also loosing all my apps meant I could take a look at alternatives, which proved fruitful. Contacts now saved to my SD, but can't find a way of backing up my apps unless I root the phone...I think I'll give that a miss.
First of all, I may be posting this in the wrong section. But I desperately need your help on this.
I got a Jiayu S3, and couldn't not try to flash a custom rom on it, so I tried with "Pure AOSP V1 TF".
All went well, untill i found this app which was included with the rom, "Kinguser" (should be Superuser, i believe), which game me the option to toggle root.
At first and only time I opened this Kinguser app, option root was active. I did deactivate it, and reactivated immediately after.
As soon as i reactivated root, the privacy pin screen showed up.
I didn't set any PIN on my phone, so at first i thought it could be something like 1111 or 0000. Tried 5 times and it made me wait 30 seconds. Then tried another 3-4 times.
Here began the real mess: "forgot pin" (or psw) didn't show up, but at the time i didn't even know about that recovery option.
I didn't know what to do, so I just thought that a factory reset would certainly solve the problem, how couldn't it? Well, wiped everything, but PIN lock screen didn't go away.
So, wiping everything, I also deleted my gmail account from the phone, and I lost the possibility to lock phone and give it a new password (Android Device Manager). Too bad at the time I didn't know about this recovery option as well...
Now I'm out of ideas. I think I've tried every method I could find with a search of "Smartphone PIN locked". Tried with resets, plugins, deleting files with adb..
How do I unlock my phone?
little update: after a factory reset, for 2-3 seconds, it shows the default initial screen, but it doesn't last more that and i just can't do anything.
Now i managed to bring back the stock rom, but with that i lost the twrp recovery, and i can't find a way to make pc recognize the phone to reflash it.
It seems it's going worse instead of better...
I had just bought this Jiayu S3 and planned to bring it on holidays on wednesday, but i'm starting to think i won't be able to fix it before then
Did you have any resolution to this problem. I am currently sitting in the exact same boat. Did the factory reset, pass code screen still there, I didn't set a pass code. Basically hands tied, can't update firmware, guessing i'll have to get a new phone, but hoping maybe you found a miracle cure! ha! - Thanks for any guidance. - Arden (Seattle, WA)
Just flash another rom (stock/original) and start over.
How have you done that?
Can you help please?
I tried factory reset (volume plus+ power button), hard reset (volume- plus power button), update, and nothing works; I also went to two different specialized stores and they failed to find a way to reinstall the original Android version or a recent one.
Comparing the files with the factory version installed in the phone, the phone report identified three changes:
- a new file: /system/priv-app/7mK0T6e8Z5.apk
- the lost of a file: /system/app/com.android.fallen.apk
- and a modified file: /system/bin/debuggerd

To flash firmware you can use SP Flash Tool on a windows or linux computer (not sure about macosx). You have to decide which firmware you want (which one do you have now?). The 'official' firmwares can be found on needrom. SP Flash Tool can be found there as well. There are 2 popular LP firmwares built by Jiayu resellers in Europe (Xtreme from Spain and Jiayu.de from Germany). Guides on how to flash are often present at the place where you find the firmware.

Thank you!
I found "Xtreme from Spain":
needrom.com/download/rom-xtreme-rom-tf/
I found the "SP Flash Tool":
needrom.com/download/sp-flash-tool-v5-1424-00/
but it is for Linux... can you send me the link of the windows version?
And I could not found the "Jiayu.de from Germany": can you send the link?
Also, can you recommend some good manual for dummies?
Thanks again for your patient and help!
latest sp flash tools is 5.1532
search needrom with "5.1532" will leed you to the download page
no link allowed here, so ...
for beta 10 from jiyau.de, search google with "jiyau.de Lollipop 5.1.1 - Beta 10 (14.10.2015)".
it will leeds you to the rom.
Good hunting

I would like to add: if you come from KK and go to LP, you must use firmware upgrade to update/adjust internal SD partition layout. Good Luck! if you succeed, and are happy with firmware, consider voting @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/firmware-jiayu-s3-t3212184 (almost 100 votes)
First, thank you for your great help!
With your suggestions, I managed to install Lolipop in my Jiayu S3S (upgraded from Kit Kat) - Xtreme ROM TF (JiayuS3-5.1Extreme1.1SP.zip).
However the problem remain... the phone still is asking for a PIN (that I never had put there, in first place)...
What should I do now?
you could try factory reset and are you sure its the phone asking for pin and not the sim card
Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910F and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
(phone is never locked, bought from Cosmote Romania, now Telekom Romania)
Thanks.
Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated - [ SOLVED ]
Hi guys,
I've succesfully deactivated the Samsung Reactivation Lock on my Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F - Android Lollipop 5.1.1. !!!
I'll tell you in detail how I did it. After 5 hours of data mining and documenting myself, I've gathered all the necessary data to do it.
Statement: On Samsung Note 4 with Lollipop 5.1.1, the Samsung Reactivation Lock cannot be deactivated!
In order to do that you need to downgrade it to KitKat 4.4.4. (thanks to brayhanrd for coming up with this downgrade-first idea in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/reactivation-lock-root-custom-rom-t3097964#post60511431
It can be done following these simple steps:
1) Downgrade the Samsung Note 4 software version from Lollipop 5.1.1 to KitKat 4.4.4 - using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone which can be downloaded from www.sammobile.com.
(Obs: if it was purchased from Verizon then THAT's the version you need to get it. I'm telling you this to avoid a lot of downgrade failures because of mismatch files and Odin writing errors, believe me, I read a lot about it today! )
- Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat instructions and all the necesarry files to do it (e.g. Odin) can be found here: http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-note-4-how-to-downgrade-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (thanks to Doug for documenting this )
If downgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/S9ONzxqPvaG
2) A work around to be able to turn off (deactivate) the Samsung Reactivation Lock can be found on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23TdbqJehA
- Long story short, the video emphasize what you need to do to get into the phone's Samsung Account, trick the already locked account and re-register yourself with a new (yet existing) Samsung account, which later on, will be seen by Samsung as the phone's default account, thus allowing yourself to register with it. What this guy's doing, basically is using the Text to Speech Samsung update to get logged in to the Samsung Galaxy Apps with this new Samsung account he created (or already had). From there, he gets back to the first phone setup steps and use this Samsung account which will be recognized by Samsung Reactivation Lock as being the default account (because he already signed-in with it into the Samsung Galaxy Apps) and voila, passed the protection.
3) Turn off the Samsung Reactivation Lock: After you tricked the Samsung Lock screen and passed over it reaching the classic, well known home screen, go to -> Settings -> Security -> and find the "Reactivation Lock" option and UNCHECK it! It will ask again for your Samsung account password, insert it and - ONLY THEN - you will have turned off the Samsung Reactivation Lock.
4) Upgrade back to Lollipop 5.1.1: same instructions here, first, upgrade only with stock image made specifically for your Note 4 version, to ba taken from www.sammobile.com or any other respectable place.
If upgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/U0BgITnrMmzi
Voila! you have a fully functional Note 4 phone again!
I hope this post will help you spare those 5 hours I used for reseaching these things!

Not possible to downgrade 5.1.1 to 4.4.4
Funny you say you downgraded from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 because everywhere I've read the consensus is the new bootloader makes this impossible.
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/downgrading-5-1-1-t3206848/post62923032
"If you upgraded your boot loader past OB7 (OE1, OF5 or OG5) You can no longer downgrade."
I tried your intructions anyway with the proper stock rom for my SM-N910P with 5.1.1 (OG5) and no dice. Odin failed right away.
Thanks anyway!

Let me help you further because IT IS POSSIBLE. I've done it! Are you sure you read my thread correctly where I've stated that:
...using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to download a stock version of 4.4.4. specifically made for your phone version, model and mobile operator.
maybe for the sm-n910f but not the sm-n910p
I greatly appreciated your response, I spent almost the entire day yesterday working on this with no success.
Just so you know, I did in fact download the stock rom made specifically for my sm-910p, here:
http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/
I'm on N910PVPU4COG5 now which is Lolipop 5.1.1 now.
I tried downgrading to N910PVPU1ANK2 Kitkat 4.4.4 and no go.
That is definitely the stock firmware for my device.
I did a factory reset & wiped cache first, then tried flashing with odin and after a successful md5 check it failed.
Not sure but maybe because you had the international version the bootloader is different?
But again, I'm sure it didn't work at that seems to be the consensus everywhere else too. that once you go above OB7 there's no going back on the N910P.

I would suggest to not give up just yet.
Verify the following:
a) From the page you gave me http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/ - I know it sais there It cannot be done, just ignore that - did you installed the Drivers on your computer before you plugged in your phone?
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
Try Try Try Again...
Thanks for your advice. I would like to downgrade and so haven't given up just yet; you gave me hope (even a shot in the dark)!

A: Yes, I have installed the drivers on my computer and successfully flashed with odin before and my com port is detected, everything is working on that end. However, I read today someone said they could only use odin 3.10 to flash without it failing so I will try that too.
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
A: No, I'm going to try the older version of KitKat 4.4.4 next, N910PVPU1ANIE
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
A: OK, I will try this and report back.

Samsung Reactivation Bypass Alternative
Hi all,
This is my first posting and reply to a thread. Hope all is doing well.
After many many many attempts to either bypass or deactivate Knox's reactivation lock.. I was finally successful. I"m sure you can imagine how i was jumping up and down..
Any who, here's how i did it:
What you need:
1- An OTG Cable
2- A USB flash drive
3- Samsung Google bypass
First thing I did was factory reset my Verizon Note 4 from the recovery mode.
If you have another android phone available, that would be useful. Take the OTG cable plus it into the extra android phone and plug in your USB flash drive. It will either pop up or ask you to reformat the drive. You want to make sure that the USB flash drive is compatible with android devices. If you don't have an extra phone, reformat your USB flash drive using CMD (format Fat32.)
After that's completed, plug your flash drive into your laptop/desktop and drag the file you downloaded (Samsung google bypass) to your flash drive.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM!
Power on your android phone, after it turns on, plug your OTG cable into your phone and attach your USB flash drive. Wait a few seconds so your phone can recognize the new hardware. A folder from the flash drive should pop. Now run the Samsung Google Bypass file. This will take you to the settings on the phone. Connect to your WiFi.
Click on the Security tab and check "Unknown Sources" and then click ok.
In the same tab> Click on where is says "Go to website". That will open a browser. If for any reason you don't have that option in that tab, in the settings options, click on "Accounts" and add your gmail account to the phone. Go back to the settings options and click on your Google account. We need to get this to the browser.
After clicking on your account, scroll down to where is says "Smart Lock for passwords", go ahead an open that up.
You will see "Google Account" - Click on it. That should take you to a browser.
(If for any reason with those option don't take you to a browser, search the settings section to find a way. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY)
Now we are almost done!
Download Aptoide> It will ask you all the prompts to install> after its done, click on open.
Download Knox> it will ask you to upgrade> go ahead and upgrade it> after thats done, open up the knox app and create a new account. This will now save to your phone.
You can unplug the OTG cable and restart your phone. But before doing so, make sure that account is was successfully created.
You will go back to set up wizard. Go ahead and set up your phone. You should not have any problems now.
Hope this works for you as it did for me.
Thanks for reading

Forgot to mention, when you download the Samsung Google bypass, make sure its a APK and if its in a rar file, unzip it.

Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910p and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 5.1.1. to 6.0.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?

Yo, so glad I found this thread. 4.4.4 saved my note 4
Hi,
I have official ROM on my Samsung S8 and version is Android 9.
It was never rooted but since the update, I am getting this error upon starting Samsung Health app "For your security, Samsung health can't be opened on a rooted phone".
As I said, it was never rooted and not rooted now but still getting this.
I've tried a factory reset, didn't help, I downloaded official firmware from sammobile website, still the same.
I haven't done backup with Smart Switch software so now cannot use it for "emergency software recovery".
Is there a way I can put it in a normal, official state as it was delivered to me through my carrier (T-Mobile) again so this can work?
Thank you
Found answers .... when tried installing TWRP earlier, it blew e-fuse so no way to recover that.
Workarounds ....

All good now.
did you change CSC? or did you flash the rom that's not for your country? (tired of waiting for one ui, maybe, so you flashed something in Odin?)
If that's the case, you have the exact same problem as i did with Samsung Health.
I had to flash multi-CSC rom, or ROM with my country's CSC to restore Samsung Health functionality... Also for me, installing any banking or company app was broken until i returned to "home" csc.
