please i neeed help , i need to reflash every single android partition on the s4 , boot, system........
if any one can provide me a step by step guide i would appreciate that:good:
What actual evidence do you have that you are being recorded or tracked?

clear evidence is that this group of people are monitoring my line messages and phone conversation , for example , yesterday i texted my girlfriend via line messenger and told her that today i am going back home , right now the bad guys are talking about this fact ( sitting on a bar and talking about it) , imagine ,i bought a brand new lg bello to my girlfriend and when she put her usual sim card , the next day , they also monitoring her cell phone ( activating the microphone) , how i know tht? simple answer , when we have the phone near us some times when we are talking about lets say something funny the guys outside they laugh also (this is not our imagination) , i think that this kind of trojan or tracking device or lets say unknown calamity is installed remotely by maybe line messenger or via network signal or....
i am just a regular android user so i dont have extensive knowledge.
i went to the police , they say you hve no evidence so they can do nothing .
oh i fogot , they were able to track me down using my s4 ( gps or maybe signal triangulation) . i think they got phusical access to the phone one day when i blackedout hahahha
if i dont get help , i think i will sell this phone and change my sim number , but again maybe they will infected it again ....
Lol...so no actual evidence then...thought so...who are they anyway? CIA? NSA?
Stop being so paranoid, stay off abovetopsecret.com and enjoy life
I think you are looking in the wrong direction. Sounds more like they put an implant in you when you blacked out.
Paranoia, bordering on the delusional? I think the OP needs to put the phone away, as he's got more serious issues to deal with.

Hi every one
I have a question since I have got to use PDAs and now the Hermes "JasJam"
actually, a very important feature is missing from this wonderful set which is:
THE INDICATION OF WAITING CALLS
In spite of the fact that the manufacturer has already known this and u can reach it through..... setting .... personal ..... phone .... services ...call waiting .... "notify me"
even if u tick this option, but u cant get any notification of waiting call, actually this is very embarrassing to keep calling someone who had an important call simultaneously to your call .... but the problem is when he is unable to cut it and answer u !!!!
and in this time, (because u havent that FANTASTIC feature of indicating a waiting call) u keep calling this one until he get crazy and shout:
STOP CALLING MAN !!! I CANT GET UR CALL BECAUSE I HAVE A VIP CALL .... DONT U SEE A WAITING INDICATION??
u have to see my full red face in this moment ....
anyway, I'd like to hear your comments accordingly !!
Call waiting -> Notify Me only works for incoming calls to your phone and this setting is for switching this on or off on the operator side. It will not show if the party you are calling has call waiting enabled. At least not with HTC 's 3.54.255.3 WWE ROM and 1.48.00.10 radio.
I had a sony ericson phone that used to do this... I loved it! It was probably the only thing I missed when I gave it up for my 8525....
If I called someone that was talking to another person it would beep and say that the caller was on the other line... it was so cool, I used to freak people out , they thought I had ESPN!
That's my 2 cents, but I figured it was manufacturer dependent...if anyone knows how to enable such a feature that would be great.
actually, this is so strange for a high reputed company just like HTC to miss this useful feature !!

in fact, not only sony Ericson do that .... all Nokia phones (even the model 3310 which was released in 1999) got this feature !!!
For HTC, we always hear about upgradings, new O.S, new ROMs, new Radio Roms ..... while the fundamental issues are neglected ... or at least not being dicussed at all ... !!
for business uses, if your cell phone (PDA, mobile... whatever) has'nt the standard features of a real phone, then it considered paralyzed
I've got hermes, and Im proud of it .... but all of us hope from the manufacturer to think right, and to update in the right side ..... it is important to have a good utilities of cell phone better than changing graphics & icons ..... and that what we usualy got from HTC and other companies:
upgrading in APPEARANCE not ROOTS
Hope everyone comment ..... in order to reach a friendly discussion
Sorry guys but I have an urgent problem , a friend of mine gave me his galaxy s4 to "fix" , in fact the phone , gave continuous " process system is not responding" , did not play either audio nor video files, the application camera crashed , all Buyer's slow to open up and hangs around the phone , even the screen locker of the time when I drag your finger over it takes a while to unlock. Above all, the worst thing is that the audio in both capsule and a speaker system is not heard. If perhaps they call on the phone can not answer you the black screen and before leaving the screen with the green ring to answer spend quite a lot of minutes. Practically can only be used for surfing the internet , facebook etc. . The firmware is the MHB . I went to download mode and saw that the counter is 0x1 KNOX , of this I realized , however, only when I installed the firmware MGG vodafone via odin because I thought it might be a problem of the system that was in forced shutdown but not so unfortunately. Now even though I know I will load the MHB reinstall it again . He reported the problem three times to the store where she bought it but have always said that the phone was fine, but trust me it is not at all like that . To my friend, I asked him if maybe he did root on the phone earlier but I said no , also because it is denied , he still does not know is because it came out that 0x1 next to the counter KNOX , some will have been his friend but did not even know . You have an idea about it? that problem can be and above all ? If it is a hardware problem I'll have to send for repair or strength I can fix by just replacing the piece in question ? But the most important question is: " If you were to send him to pay support ? When how much? "
Sorry for my english, but I do not know the language so I used google translator
Hello guys, yesterday my S7 edge was stolen and I was able to track the device till one location, but couldn't find the device or the robber once I got there. I had the SM-G935F international variant (Exynos) - stock and first question I would like to ask is: Is it possible to turn off the device from the lock screen without the pincode/fingerprint? Because I think it was not possible when I had it.
I'm just asking because once I have reached the location the google maps timeline, stopped recording the movement of my device.. and have stopped since there..
Around 3 hours later my girlfriend (I put her contact as security), received a message on her device saying the SIM card had been changed. I had the device with 4G (wifi I'm not sure) and the lock screen was secured. I tried using Samsung find my mobile and was even more useless than google maps timeline, because It couldn't locate the device even when google maps could.
I went to the police and they say that, they could locate (but It's going to take a while) the sim card that was put on that IMEI.
Do you guys know another way that could help me know some information sooner? At least something I could help the police with..
Hope you can help me in some way.
I'm in Czech Republic btw.
Best Regards,
Neto
damn man, I'm so sorry for u, f*cking crappy ppl...
the easiest way to track ur phone is to detect via SIM/IMEI, for that u have to know that new code that was inserted (not easy for us, but police should have), all other services (google, samsung,whatever) works just when de phone is on and have a network connection/GPS active (that cannot be turned off with the phone locked), sad is, the phone can be turned off w/o problem at any moment. Last updates with google apps, doesn't let u use your phone even giving a factory reset because u need to put the last google credentials used in that phone (but I don't know if u have to activate that in some settings, in my older phone it was on by default)....
sad is no much to do here, hope police in your country is more competent that mine's
I also advise going the police route.
File an official complaint and ask for a file number so you know it's official and the investigation will be active.
Keep us posted on how things go.
I've already talked with the police, gonna know if they can find them by the EMEI..
Wish tracking devices were made much more simple..
Brother's stolen phone (iD*ot 6S) was found by czech police within two days (in Prg), so finger's crossed for you! If you are from Prague I could ask him which office he went to.
Not sure there is anything you can do at this point, but I will recommend an app that I use called Where's My Droid. You can get the paid version (I would highly recommend paying the small one time fee for this) and it does quite a lot. You can track it online from a computer, and even through text messages. You can use text message commands to take pictures from the front and rear cameras, get GPS location, lock the sim and prevent others from being used, and even change your pin through text. You set up the keywords needed so that others cannot send out a generic code to lock you out of your own device. I would highly recommend that app for your next phone. It may not prevent a theft, but at least you could get a picture of the criminal and provide that to the police as well.
Good luck on finding your phone, and I feel for you.

Thank you man, I will do that once hopefully I have my phone back. Does it drain a lot of battery?

wow. Wish I wouldn't have took a lot of measures in order to save battery and making the tracking of my device harder.. never again.. :crying:
Yeah, it's unfortunate, especially for a new phone that's not cheap.
One workaround I did when I broke my phone screen out of anger right after I upgraded was open a new line on my account so I only had to pay the upgrade price for the phone again. Not sure if you have that option for your carrier or even country for that matter. But hopefully the police can help you out greatly.
I'm sorry about what happened, my s7 edge was stolen too like 2 weeks ago, I feel you bro. ****ing thieves

I am willing to bet the phone is not bricked.
Try switch it off, (remove battery and put back in if necessary).
Then all at same time press power on, volume down and home button. When it vibrates let the buttons go. this should get to download mode.
If you see that yellow triangle you can be saved.
Then you need to get a Stock rom from Sam Mobile, for your model of phone. SM910F ???
Download program called PC Odin.
The rest you will see on you tube etc. How do I flash stock rom on Galaxy note 4.
If your lucky you will have a perfectly good phone. :laugh:
Either way you have nothing to lose.. If Download mode can be reached, there is a fix for your phone.
Hey sorry for late reply,i just went to the "experts" who had somekind of "box" callef device and he fixed it for me , octopus box or something. So i sold the phone and got a moto x plau xt1562. I didnt like the touchwiz vibe anyway. Love the stock android experience.

I AM VERY SURE BUTTONS ARE FINE , but phone is behaving like power button is being pressed whole time .
things got worse i woke up midnight i looked at my phone still stuck on restart continuously, and next reboot it booted up for couple of secs and showed me pattren lock but called emergency number ( Emergency Call Button Under Pattren) , i was not able to cut the call but i keep trying then again re boot , i didnt sleep because of this phone vibrating rebooting and sometimes calling EMERGENCY service even when i removed sim and SD card , i can't remove battery so i let it keep rebooting, now battery died .

Goto Service center
Sounds like power button contacts have shorted out somehow, though very less likely. Better go to a service centre instead of wrecking your brain over something which you probably can't fix.
ok but

I'm not too sure about what exactly had happened to your phone. I can't say much if I don't see it myself. This is a very uncommon and peculiar problem because modern phones are less vulnerable to viruses. So it might just be a fault unit which you have received.

Ok i will plan to send it back to India . I bought this phone from Indian Website because this model wasn't available here in Canada.
When my friend ordered it . He told me about 99 RS extra for some kind of protection . I said pay that as well . I have the original bill . My friend have copy of that ask well.
Any idea where it will get repaired ? I mean send it back to FLipkart ? Or Asus customer service ?

try to get a replacement. Since you said you bought this phone 4 months ago you might not be able to exchange it. Other option is getting it fixed at an asus service centre and they may do it for free because it's still under warranty.
