[Q] Stuck at upgrading apps after unlocking - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Devs,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I came to India for 3 months. I wanted to use my local sim (Idea Network). So i gave my phone to a local mobile shop for unlocking. He said that he unlocked the phone. But now the phone is not turning on.
Its showing the Samsung logo, followed by AT&T logo and then it says upgrading apps 1 of 48.
Now the phone reboots and the process continues.
Please suggest what to do now.

Why am I not able to "enable" WiFi on Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile. Model no. SHV-E300S?

Why am I not able to "enable" WiFi on Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile. Model no. SHV-E300S?
Hello Everyone,
I'm facing a very irritating problem with my phone. Allow me to share some background of it so that its clear.
I stay in Mumbai, India. I recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4 (Model no. SHV-E300S) while returning from South Korea.
I have been using the phone for a week and it worked fine until a few days ago.
I'm unable to "enable" WiFi on my phone. Whenever I try to turn it on, it gets turned off automatically within a few seconds. Below are the things I tried but none of them seemed to work.
1. Restarted my phone over 10 times. - No success
2. Pulled out the battery while the phone was ON - No success
3. Pressed *#0011# and clicked WiFi in the Menu section and turned off the "Wifi power saving mode" - Worked for 2 days and then again not working
4. Hard Reset my phone - no success
5. I did not try rooting my phone as I'm unable to do so. Tried Kings Root (through Mobile and through PC) and many other applications but rooting failed everytime.
6. Reset the Wifi settings in the Wifi section of settings - No success
7. Kept Wifi on on during sleep as "Never" - no success
The Wifi button doesnt let me wwitch it off, and I'm unable to do anything. Please help me with your expertise if anyone has a solution. Please find the details of my phone below:
Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE
Model no. SHV-E300S
Android version: - 5.0.1
Please help......

This is a hardware problem or a problem within the kernel. But you say that you did a hardreset so I think it is a hardware problem. You should bring you phone back to the store and let them fix it

Probably hardware failure. If it was software then it wouldn't work at all. But it worked and suddenly stopped working, so it's hardware.

Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn't start because MODEM ERROR

Hello,
I use Samsung Galaxy S5 a year and less. Friend of mine brought it from the US. It’s unlocked with a code. The device is TMobile. A few days ago I used it as Hotspot router, to share internet to my laptop. I restarted the phone, but not turned off the Hotspot. When the phone is switched on, displaying the following error: "Secure Fail: Modem ...“in red letters, top left and in the middle - exclamation point in a yellow triangle, and below it the inscription in white letters: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost". I tried to flash with Odin with different ROMs for model G900T. It gave me PASS all times, but the error still comes and the phone does not start. I gave it to a friend who has GSM service. He said he made 6 service flash and nothing. He tried flash with stock ROM and 4 fiels+pit, but nothing. I tried different tutorials from here, but I am not quite good and not sure I do things properly. I dis flash with this CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t. Again same error but I had a different boot menu. There did a few cash and full resets. After that the phone started and stopped on Samsung android advertise. I flash with stock ROM after and again same modem error. I am from Bulgaria. I called to local Samsung service. They refused me to see the phone because they are not authorized. Have to repair just in USA, but this is complicated. Any idea what to do? Please, give a few tutorials to repair this!
Thanks in advance!
Please, you could give me threads which contains thing I have to do to repair my phone. No problem if I have to do few things. Important is to try everything possible again and in wright order.
Here's what I did...I used an older phone to download my modem to since my laptop was down at the time...I then booted into TWRP recovery after I've inserted the extSD card and from there I used TWRP to get modem back..hopefully I understood ur question and this would help you..sorry if it doesn't!

Stuck on "Please wait while we prepare your phone"

I have been using sm900v for 4 years and today I bought a new phone and did factory reset on this note 3 before selling it off and it is stuck on Setup wizard "please wait while prepare your phone" ever since. How do I get it back to normal?
I connected it to Samsung Kies and it updated the firmware. Back to normal.

Help Restoring network operation of S8 active.

Okay so i tried the SamFail Rom / Root. 5 seconds into the root i got an error, a PIT fail code. The phone which is a carrier unlocked one went into an infinite boot loop on the recovery screen, and wouldn't let me enter the recovery options. I tried many hard resets, took out the battery, and even let it drain but nothing helped, it would just boot loops into the downloading update / Error . After all this i decided to try to flash the original firmware into it. Only thing is i didn't write down the software version. But since i have t mobile i thought why not just flash it with the latest tmobile software. So i did.
Now the phone turns on and everything works but it wont connect to the network. IMS registration status is not registered, Mobile network state is Disconnected but it does say T-Mobile which is my carrier.
Under the Odin download mode, before i even flashed it at the top left under carrier IT said SPR so i figured the phone was originally a sprint phone then unlocked and sold by the company. so i also tried the SPRINT software but same thing happens.
Under Co figuring Service it just stays registering then says " Please contact your service provider....." internal error -1.
Under UICC Unlock it says Your device is unlocked for any SIM card but then when i click it, it says SIM unlocking could not be completed please try again later. Internal Error 407.
Any help or insight would be appreciated. i don't care about the root anymore i just want the phone to work normally, Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------
:Edit - I messed with it enough now it shows LTE service and everything but the. SPRINT OMADM Message wont go away. And the Carrier Hub - Requests are processing wont go away. also i get very minimum service if any at all. . Any help? Thanks.
Click on settings app->apps->click 3 dots button at upper right corner->click show systemapps-> search Sprint OMADM app and force stop it

"This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked .." after FRP Lock removal on my Note 5

Hello
My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was recently FRP locked. I removed the lock by flashing the firmware through Odin. I am not a professional i just did that by following YouTube videos.
Now that the phone is working but once the phone boots up a message is displayed
"Security Error

The problem now is that the sim card is not working although it was working perfectly before flashing.
I am using a T-Mobile(SM-N920T) Samsung Note 5 and i used the latest firmware from Sam mobile for flashing my phone.
Can anybody please help me what to do now?
I am stuck right now and don't Know what to do. I want my sim card working.
Thank you Your help would be appreciated.
