Hi. So a few days ago i accidentally left my phone outside and turned on the sprinklers. When i found it it was super wet. The power button wouldn't work and it would turn on and off for some reason so i went to ask my friend for help. I had insurance but i wanted to let him check it out to see if he could fix it. He said i had rooted my phone and the warranty is off and he doesn't know what to do. I had rooted my phone and then i updated my phone to lollipop, rooted it back and bricked it. It took me a while to unbrick it back. and then i asked for assistance from root experts and my phone rooted. I finally unrooted it a few months ago. my friend says theres this message on my software updates saying that it has been modified in an unauthorized way. Is there any way for me to not let mobile find out that its rooted so i can get a new phone with my insurance? Is my phone properly unrooted? I used odin and now i asked my dad and its still not working. Please help!

I rooted my phone some time ago and now tmobile udated the firmware. I thought it would just unroot my phone but the phone isn't going any further then the first screen that is just black and says "vibrant samsung."
When i connect it to my computer, kies comes up though its not in kies mode and so doesn't connect. What do i do in order to make it move forward? Do i revert it or is there some solution or what?

my rooted att g2 bricked due to the att update a few days ago. i couldnt get it to work as im android noobish. someone linked me to a an easy way to flash kitkat back onto the phone and i did so just nowand so far( 20 min with the phone ) everything seems to working normally. i had already called att about the phone and they are sending me out a refurbished device. There wont be an issue if i send back their refurbed phone and just say mine started working or just refuse it right? what would you do, keep the newly flashed kk phone or take the refurb?

Correct. You can send the same phone back to them. I'd keep the one that is in the best condition.
The perfect storm...
I broke my phone about a month ago, bought a hold over on craigslist until I fixed my phone. Left the phone stock and yesterday sold it to a truck driver via craigslsit. I did a factory reset handed over all good to go. He is now out of town
This morning he calls me and says the phone is locked in TWRP and is politely upset. Confirmed the phone worked when I gave it to him. I did not install or root this phone so the crap ass before me must have and did it and not mention it. The guy has no clue what happened, went to bed fine, woke up and stuck looping in recovery.
I tried to walk him through it. Reboot, says it lands right back at TWRP. He seems up to the idea of using a tool or utility to flash it.
I found this thread [Guide] Unroot/Unbrick - flash official factory firmware with LG Mobile Support Tool but it does not seem to cover the Verizon variant.
Can anyone point me to some instructions I can send this guy on getting this thing back to stock?
months ago i bought and rooted a galaxy tab.. this is my first android. i rooted it the first day with something i found in the app store i think and never did anything since. i just used it lightly on coc. then i didnt use it for a few weeks. i guess the battery drained and it died. now when i try and boot it it says i need to take it to att cause it has software it shouldnt on it. i have searched hi and low for a solution. i have downloaded odin and the firmware from sam mobile. odin fails everytime. under reactivation lock it says on but again i am unable to get into the device its bricked. i dont know what to do and i feel like a moron..

Alright, I'll try to be brief.
I've had my H1711 for a couple of years. Used it for AT&T prepaid. I replaced it with a Samsung about a year ago, so it's just been collecting dust. I recently decided I wanted to try rooting it, Huawei be damned, so I used DC Unlocker and got it rooted using the latest TWRP and Magisk. Root went smoothly. Long story short, I messed up and had to put it back to the stock firmware. However, this left it with a bootloader screen saying Phone: unlocked, FRP: Lock. However, I do not get stopped at verification. I can use the phone just fine as a normal smartphone. But, I'm completely unable to flash or boot anything, and I've been trying for days to clear the FRP lock, to no avail whatsoever. I've searched the XDA forums to exhaustion, tried everything I could find, and nothing works. I cannot clear this damn FRP lock. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of that damn lock, or should I shift my focus to something less frustrating? I'm at my wits end. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I'm gonna consider my other options. Thanks.
does the universal method for clearing frp not working?
Im having the same issue :/
