Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU) internet problems - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello guys.
I just bought a SM-A500FU locked in Vodafone Romania. I used a unlock code and now its fully unlocked.
The phone came with lollipop 5.0.1 from factory and I got a message to upgrade it to 5.0.2 and I did it.
After upgradeing him to 5.0.2 I found out that the internet is not working all the time. I mean it doesn't matter if I have data and wi-fi activated, still not working. I mean not fully working, because I can use Whatsapp for example, but I can't reload Facebook, can't acces Play Store and YouTube doesn't want to find me videos (that's what I found untill now) and it's annoying.
What am I suppose to do? I tryed a full wipe untill now, I thought I made some bad setting, but it seems I didn't.
Some advices? Please.
P.S: I don't know if I got this problem after upgrade or I also had it when I was on 5.0.1...

Same problem here.. I flashed root and with flash... recover and boot and the mobile vas rebooting sometimes internet was ok full working then i flash original romm 5.0.2 in odin and then internet sucks

I bought my A5 with lollipop 5.0.2 from factory. I'm in Vodafone Romania and I found nothing bad, until now, related to internet or data transfer.
Maybe you should do a factory reset...

I found the problem. The problem was that I installed a program which I thought it will help me but didn't. It was a add blocker (Block It!). It seems after uninstalling works fine. :victory:

Hello, please do not say the latest version, because the last version has the camera bug as well.
The last confirmed working version is I9301IXXUANI1_I9301IITVANJ1_I9301IXXUANI2_HOME
I had just downgraded back from installing I9301IXCUANJ6, from the italian region. Hopefully it will avoid useless data wipes for other people :good:

Hi Spark,
as some other users I have my problems with the Camera Bug. I flashed four in this forum recommended ROMs with wiping each time Cache, System and Internal Storage , and activated Nand Erase before flashing with Odin. But each time the error message appears again.
That somehow drives me crazy. Idon't know wht to do else. Any Idea?
Galaxy S3 Neo
Hello people
Great news, to fix S3 Neo camera server error you need to install stock rom I9301IXXUANH1 from Sammobile.
It really works
does any1 knows if the lates version (I9301IXXUANG1 from open Austria ) also has the camera bug?
cause they say this is the best firmware version with the lowest battery usage
New Phone (for mum ) and I thought lets flash new FW for Germany DBT for it... What the f**k! Camera stop working with this well known Server issue!
Its an GT-I9301I for European Region. Bought in Germany.
This one made the camera working again for me!

Thanks goodness. Thought I bricked the phone right out of the box
Thanks to this thread for kicking me in the right direction!
when you bought the phone had the version XXUAN ... but if flashi firmware XCUAN .... the camera will not work and will fail. If you would like to solve the problem you have to flash the firmware again that had your phone when it was bought

that's right. we've got 2 versions with 2 cameras. xc camera and xx camera. this is not a bug. people just flash the appropriate rom for each. don't mix.
If it's not a bug, than why does the official ota flash the wrong update?

Maybe because OTA will flash updates for the current installed firmware. For example if you have got a XCUAN firmware OTA will fash the updated version for XCUAN. if you have got a XXUAN firmware OTA will fash the updated version for XXUAN. if the camera won't work after the update you have to install the correct update manually. You can find firmwares on SAMMOBILE

SM-G9208 root on 5.1.1

After following this method I get a bootloop, any idea why and how to correct it?, already tried a factory reset but it doesn´t work, I had to flash stock rom again.
Edit: It happens because I upgraded to the latest 5.1.1 version available last week:
Model SM-G9208
Model name GALAXY S6
Country Taiwan
Version Android 5.1.1
Changelist 5683207
Build date Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:54:52 +0000
Product code BRI
PDA G9208ZTU2COJ2
CSC G9208ZZT2COJ2
So if you get the update alert in your phone DON´T do it, there is no known way to ROOT this new version.
It was not possible to install a previous 5.1.1 version either (G9208ZTU1BOH2), when I try to flash it with ODIN, the phone just displays an error message “SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1”.
Any Ideas are appreciated.
EDIT:
Finally rooted with xiao1u root method!

The file on first post didn´t work, and 3 days after I rooted (and everything was working perfectly) using this file:
http://pan.baidu.com/wap/album/file...26914354&fsid=128909912720545&adapt=pc&fr=ftw
I get the following error message every time i need root access:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is problem! If you upgraded to Android 5.0, you will need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
If the phone is restarted or turned off after getting this error message the phone is death, it doesn´t start again.
I tried reflashing the root file, but it didn´t work.
I had to reinstall the stock ROM agan, and waiting for any effective root method for 5.1.1 OJ2 ROM.

Hey, the same thing happened to me, I was stupid enough to not read this before. I tried the xiao1u method and it works, but it breaks mobile data. Did you get that issue?

Not in my case, my data was working perfectly, but problems started to show up 3 days after I rooted it, in the end it didn´t start again.
I haven´t found any other way to root this build yet and I´m still looking for a custom rom with no success.
If you want to give another try to xiao1u file try to disable the setting for "allow Google to regularly check device activity for security problems or warn about potential harm" after a clean ROM install, you can do it going to the GOOGLE SETTINGS app > SECURITY > VERIFY APPS & uncheck Scan For Security Threats.
Please keep us updated, I´ll post if I find any way to solve it.

Ok you may know this already but I'll post just to let you everybody else know.
DONT UPDATE TO THE LATEST 5.1 OTA. It adds rollback protection to your bootloader, which makes it impossible for you to odin to another build, unless its the same or a future update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151
As for our case, mate, I tried everything so far, the root method given by the OP bootloops on the latest OTA (previous 5.1 firmware on Sammobile is fine) and xiao1u method breaks mobile data for me although root does work perfectly. Funny thing is that if you tried the root by the OP and it got bricked, flashing the xiao1u method on top of it will get it working again, because its just the boot partition.
Atm, I just got sick of Samsung and their cr*p, had the same issues with my old Galaxy S4 with their Exynos. Got the Nexus 6P today and absolutely loving it.
I'll try to work it out sometime soon, if I do manage to get it working (mobile data for me) I'll post the fix here. This device is next to DOA for us as we've just got a couple of few blessed asian devs on it (all thanks to them). Unfortunately it may never be enough. I never got the issue you had, though it was just for last night, can you get into download mode? If so, odin the same firmware again. I used the 5.1 OTA on Sammobile, Taiwan. This is only for us who are already stuck in the new bootloader. You wont have root but at least your phone will work.
Cheers mate, all the best. Will update if I find a fix.

The results of my attempt to root is not very consistent or stable since 5.02 to 5.1.1 on different updates of the Taiwan variant (G9208).
Since first 5.1.1 update, I used xiaolu method and succeed for few days, I don't know what do you mean " xiao1u method breaks mobile data", my 4G signal was fine. With xposed hooked, I also observed the much more boot time of previous rooted phone, sometimes a smaller bootloop (3 or 4 repeated loops).
But after a very recent "samsung security policy update", the root has "gone" an re-root became impossible no matter by xiaolu's or chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46, most time they will cause bootloop and I can use odin to get back to initial status. Does that mean I don't have hope to root again?

This works on my Taiwan variant G9208 on stock 5.1.1,
Go on TWRP repository of dl.twrp.me/zeroflte, seek two .tar files as below and inject them stepwisely with different method
1st (Odin via USB). Twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar
2nd(use that TWRP -2.8.7.2, operate via an "OTG linked usb mouse" since touch not working...) . to flash Twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img (but it's actually 2.8.7.1)
now you have a touchable TWRP.
But I can't get root now, even with xiaolu method, any one with luck, please note me

Honor 6+ for KSA and UAE community

I made this post to gather all Honor 6+ owners from KSA and UAE who bought it from souq (dot) com to share their problems, questions and experiences.
My experience is excellent with 6+. but when i upgraded it to lollipop, all gestures functions were gone!
No double tap to wake screen, no draw to open apps .. even all motion settings like flip mob to mute were disappeared
I used this file for upgrading:
hxxp://7961b64fc16ad15a92ef-9f98f1eddca1ebd26a80f4b64e8bd016.r62.cf3.rackcdn.com/downloads/PE-TL10C900B324.zip
(replace hxxp with http)
I downloaded it from here:
hxxp://hihonor.com/en/pages/support#?view=downloads
(replace hxxp with http)
I tried a factory reset, but it always fail at 10%
I can't call huawei support as i am outside of ksa now.
Any one faced the same problems when upgrading to lollipop?
not yet updated because of these problems. Can you check in gestures settings, if these features are still available? I purchased from Souq UAE
I tried flashing Latest 5.1.1 Chinese Stable Developer Edition , and then use downgrade package provided on Huawei Club Forum by chinese guys , but failed also.

No gestures options at all after upgrading. May you call customer support to ask them about this problem,and when the official upgrade for uae and ksa will be released?
I think that phones provided by souq.com have a modified software(i can't understand why )
So all of MENA region custmores have a buggy update.
We should contact with local provider & huawei to get our rights
any news about this dam update ?

Hi Guys,
Check out the Lollipop and Marshmallow update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-heres-how-update-manually-to-t3323661
I bought my Honor 6+ from Souq.com UAE last month. As i'm residing in India and using Vodafone as my service provider but not able to access data internet (2G/3G/4G) in my phone (working fine with Wifi). It is displaying the 3G/4G symbol at the top but somehow its not working even after getting all the configuration done that is provided by Vodafone.
I tried with multiple service providers (Airtel/Reliance/Aircel/Idea) but its not working either, although the data net is working in another phone using the same SIM. Please help me , let me know if anyone else having the same issue.
I tried the B334 Russia, and it worked fine, but I bricked my phone after I tried to update to the marshmallow as per the following update link but I made one mistake that I did unzipped the 503 update.zip pachage and i only took the update.app file and put it on the dload folder, after that i was unable to boot my phone again,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hono...ly-to-t3323661
and after several attempts to flash so many versions like (B130, B135, B300, B500, B503, B224, B334, B332, B510) I was able by the adb method to update to the latest Marshmallow update of UAE B510 but wifi and Bluetooth don't work anymore, and the mac address shows zeros 02:00:00:00:00 , ANY SUGGESTIONS?
in addition could someone told me the original firmware version that PE-TL10 in saudi comes with and where I can downloaded

Galaxy S5 Play Store problems

Hello everyone. I recently bought an Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F). After I made the "first run set-up" , I went to Google Play to download all the apps I needed.And then Google Play suddenly stopped and an error poped out : "Google Play stopped working"..ok I tried again,after aproximatively 3 minutes the error shows up again and again..I know that Samsung has some problems with Google Play,so I tried some fixes found on the internet. I tried deleting all data,cache,and updates.. It worked.Looks like my phone has some "problems" with the new update (6.0.5) for Google Play Store. With the old one (5.x - sorry I can't remember the version),I have no problems. But,the other problem is that after a few minutes,the app updates itself to the last version. I even tried to make a factory reset,but the error still shows up (I tried to reset the phone from the settings and from the recovery boot). I don't have a problem using the old version of PLay store,but I also can't use an outdated version for too long. Is there any way to fix it? I'm trying all kind of fixes found on the internet for hours and I'm getting angry. Is there any way to fix it,or I can send it to warrany? (I'm afraid to send it to warranty because I know that all they do there is to reset my phone and I lose a lot of time waiting to make a freaking reset that I can make even myself).
I would have posted an image with the error,but this forum doesn't allow me to put links into my threads for "security reasons".
So please,if you can help me It would be awesome. Thank you again and sorry for my bad english.
I forgot to mention,phone model is SM-G900F with Android 5.0 (I can`t make update to 5.1,I dont know why.)
Try reflashing 5.0 stock firmware using Odin
Note: G900F does not have 5.1.1 yet

Well,I'm very dissapointed because I got my phone to some GSM Services,and most of they told me that this is a common issue for Samsung devices and you must be pretty lucky to not get into such errors with an Samsung phone. So yes,I will "maybe" try to flash the original firmware with Odin,but I don't think it will help. So anyway thank you for helping me,I will try to use this phone with this bulls*it error and maybe,maybe (which is quite impossible) Samsung will release an update that would solve this problem.
Whats your firmware build number?

Just to lighten you up, this problem is not "common" in Samsung devices. My family and relatives uses mostly Samsung phones and tablets and never did we have this problem, even on two Galaxy S5s (G900F and G900FD).
Flashing the stock firmware should help.

Well,I reflashed the stock rom with Odin3.9 but this problem still occurs. If you are talking about Baseband version than this is it: G900FXXU1BOJ1
EDIT: After 2 months of trying to fix the problem,it still occurs.

Restore stock rom .

I guess so as i did tried to reflash stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.0 a few days ago, but it didn´t work. Then i used Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8 but it displayed that i had the latest software so no reflashing at all, i was incapable of reflashing and clearing the \system partition, for me it is a real problem as i was expecting to delete all the traces of SuperSU root, Xposed, etc; with the aim of moving to Magisk and keep passing safetynet. Anyone has any clue so that could help me reflashing latest stock MM ROM?
Use the Panasonic ELUGA to restore an then the Mobile Upgrade .

I was also considering downgrade to LP by performing a restore from my TWRP backup. May be easier and safer, as ELUGA modifies certain branded partitions, I guess... Any inconvenience related to that?
I have never got the mobile upgrade to work, not even this version, and that is a shame because here in Finland we have no OTA since lollipop, and I can not understand how the official MM-rom is nowhere to be found, even if the phone have the option of update from storage. If only I could find the update file, I presumably could update without any rooting or twrp or anything, and keep it factory fresh and under warranty?

I agree with you, that is a bad movement from Alcatel not to give access to ROM zip. It would be so easy to flash it via settings _ apply update from zip, as many devices do. Weeks ago I was desperate to find a stock zip for my 6045Y but no luck. It's a shame to let dye this music lover smartphone.
I have the stock MM rom if anybody wants it.

I'm very interested, did you get it from a TWRP backup or which method did you used?
Could you upload it?
Thanks in advance

The roms are from murigny64, he made them. He has a thread here which I checked earlier. If you want the version without root the link is still good, only the rooted version was removed.

Thanks for the quick reply, i did a search and found the tread https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 However, i have a more recient MM Stock ROMs with many fixes (in the version of this URL 2016/08/10 the MM ROMs has a bug that unables the phone to record call, am i wrong?).
I'm not sure what to do and even can´t update from the latest MM from a couple of days ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/ota-android-update-malware-t3736229 As Mobile Upgrade Q says that my 6045Y has the latest software, may be an update to only 6045I model?

I don't know about the record call thing, I don't use it.
As for the second part I'm not sure I understand. You want the latest OTA update or you already have it

Sorry, i didn't explain myself properly. I mean, I have already the latest MM stock ROM dated from january of 2017, my device is a 6045Y. However, a few days ago there has been released an update, but my guess is that only for 6045I devices, so i don't have it and can´t reflash my Idol 3 with the same ROM i currently have.
PS:
I tried to flash via TWRP this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 and then use the Mobile Upgrade Q to get the latest MM stock, but Mobile Upgrade Q keeps saying "you have already the latest update" which this statement is not true after flashing this zip. Finally, I restored my TWRP backup so i'm in the same state as i began this morning, i'm tired of this policy of Alcatel that there is no official zip from stock firmwares, the only way is using an online tool thar refuses to reflash the same firmware.
I am from india, using 6045k, lost duel sim support due to flashing of marionette's Rom. Still trying to get duel sim back, tried eluga firmware also, but unfortunately i didn't get any error at 45%. Now i am using flyos 2.0, its working like charm. But only one sim is there, i tried several software upgrader versions, but server is not connecting, its always stuck at 20%.
Its been a year that i am trying to get to stock rom. I have done search in several threads and contacted some senior members but it didn't help,
Pls help me, how can i get back to stock rom and get duel sim Support back??
