Hi all, really need your help. 2 weeks ago I bought this device, before never used android. 3 days ago by connecting it to a computer, the Kies software has given the message
"that there is a new version", I agreed, and then device as if replaced, it start to work slowly stucking on some screens, such as phone book or phone itself, it gives a strange message, that he had to stop the work of a program. Then I tried to solve the problem, but everything i did not fixed the issue, I even think that made it worse. I did the following things.
I tried to root device, did it as it was written on some site, after a Odin has finished, I found SuperSu program, but SuperSu wrote that the binary ihe s not installed, checking the Root, no root access. 2 Performed Data factory reset twice did not helped, Performed to flash again the latest official firmware, but also did not helped, the problem not solved, Uninstall SuperSu. no longer know how else to help themselves, need professional help.
Please write me what should i do? how can return the previously firmware, or how to root it correctly and install new Rom.

Someone said need to factory reset. But I just cannot find a way to backup game data without root. Anyone can help? Thanks . By the way I just don't know why google need us to root to backup. Just a normal need will be so difficult for andriod.

caveat emptor
I got my note SM-P605 at a Fortress in Macau. It was having the same strange issue as thecaptain42 in post 19 on this thread (random reboot issue). I've also posted about my issue here; albeit far less eloquently.
After factory-resetting and wiping cache, I used Odin 3.09 to flash P605ZSUCNE3_P605OZSCNE3_P605ZSUCNE1_HOME.tar.md5
Then, after booting up and signing into my Google account, the tablet proceeded to download and install [my] apps and updates from Google Play.
Suddenly, after a while, with many installations and updates successfully completed -but still in the download and install process, the screen turned black and the tablet has been deader than dead (as in solid brick -no response at all), ever since.
I never rooted or installed any system apps (not already included).
As for me, I'm not sure what to do next... But at least you've been warned.
clock and owner info are gone from lock screen
Hi All,
I have ported this KitKat Hongkong version on my SM-P605 Singapore version. Everything looks perfect, except the lock screen. There's no clock and owner information in lock screen. I've set them in Setting, but still they did not show up.
This is not a big problem actually, but I just wonder, anyone notice this issue before ?

What does it happen when you press the power button for a long time? Does it restart and work properly till screen goes black because of inactivity?

Well... Up until you posted this message. I had not tried to hold the power button for a prolonged period of time. When I saw this message, I wanted to reply honestly, so I pressed it for a while and it turned on.
When the tablet completed its booting cycle it resumed downloading updates and software from my Google account. But after a few minutes of that, it crashed again. The screen turned bright blue, then the tablet shut down again.
Holding the power button for a while repeats the cycle.
Would you mind telling me why did you ask me what happens if I press the button for a long time?

I had the boot loop issue but it fixed after a while by itself and I thought it was a software issue! however, after I installed kitkat (for both NEE and Taiwan versions) no matter what I did I had this issue (like yours):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772289
And it seems that no one else has this issue.
It still could be because I am using a rom from another region (since I am living in Germany) , but I have started to think that maybe there is a hardware problem.

For what it's worth, it seems we're not alone.
Perhaps we should start our own thread?
In any event, I'd like you to keep me (and perhaps others as well?) posted.
I'm running my tablet immaculately. No root, no custom ROM, no ROM from another region. Not even any system apps. Nothing.
But it still reboots at random intervals for no immediately apparent reason.
I've not yet figured out how to consistently induce the reboot, either.

When I go for support for P605 in samsung.de I end up with a broken page!:

The page you requested is unavailable.
Unfortunately, when you edit your query is a problem.
Perhaps your bookmark out of date, or the link is not working.
The links below take you to additional information.
When I go to Sparhandy.de which I bought the device from they also do not have this device listed!!!!
From where I should claim the warranty?!
As I remember from when I opened the box of my P605 i noticed that the head of pen was half of its unused one! I thought that it may be normal. But from that time I always think that I have got a returned device from customers and not a new one! Anyway since I know a little deutsch it was too difficult for me to return it and ask for a new one here in germany!

I don't know the procedure for the particular shop where you purchased it, or how long you've had your device. I can't say whether taking it back to the shop for a refund or exchange is an option for you. Perhaps some of the German XDA users can chime on on this.
But, worst case scenario, you should take it to the nearest Samsung shop/center.

To get a returned tablet that's dysfunctional is simply terrible. Never-the-less, so long as you have your proof of purchase, Samsung should honor the warranty. I'm guessing they must be able to speak English.

Hey man, write me a private message so I do not forget it
I can write you the text in german for sparhandy where I can explain your problem.
You should claim the warranty first at sparhandy, normally they order the devices from samsung and then deliver it to you.

Thanks a lot my friend! This is very nice of you. :angel:
One of my Deutsche friends did the call. Actually since we had difficulty to find contact number for Sparhandy we tried to contact Samsung (it was also mentioned in sparhandy website that you can also contact samsung directly). I will send my device to them on the next Tuesday.
Also regarding what I told earlier I am losing my trust to sparhandy and fear that they do something strange with my device. Hopefully Samsung will be honest and will do what they are supposed to do.

What's the matter with Kitkat 4.4.2 and SD cards? I use a 64GB one. Could this be the reason I keep boot-looping?
Hello,
My girlfriend bought new Galaxy A5 2016 (gold) on 15/03. Already while I was completing some settings (Google acc / Sams acc "in" and install of such mere apps as viber, skype, facebook..) the phone restarted on its own twice, without any logical explanation (no significant load, no root, since the divice was almost stock).
This bug has occured while this week two or three times a day. Unfo I cannot associate it with any app or particular action. The phone reboots even in sleep mode or when screen is active.
It doesn't look like hardware deficiency. I tried to delete Google Play Services updates (suggested by local Sams support), hardreset and etc., however - no success. The phone continues to restart its own
Have no idea what to do Can you help me?
best regards

Reflash stock rom...
I don't have this issue at all , try a factory reset or flash a stock rom.
Hi,
I've bought a A5 2016 in February (Rom stock, No root, dev options unmasked) - Since then, I've Had 3 power off on its own. I've followed forums and wiped my cache. But this morning I had my phone restart on its own.
I'm quite mad at Samsung for now.
Maybe try calling samsung support?
I have had this problem with my A5 too. Whenever the device updates some app, it re starts.
What exactly occurs during the restart? Does the phone vibrate and show "samsung galaxy a5 (6) powered by android" or does it simply play the boot animation without audio.
If the second option is happening with you., then I suggest you re flash the stock Rom. You can get the stock rom from you mobile or San mobile.
I have the A5(2016) from 2/3 weeks but I never had this problem. If you have the A510F model you can try the German firmware (A510FXXU2APC4 - (build version LMY47X.A510FXXU2APC4). Flash it via odin and donwload the firmeware from sammobile.com. for odin guide see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/help/rom-stock-firmware-samsung-galaxy-a5-t3305863
To Ahmad89:
Thanks for your response. I actually had logo A5-6 powered by android during restart. I remember to have switched on WiFi connection before it restart (i know that updates occurs only when WiFi's on). That may be an explanation. there may may have been an attempt to update. But the "switch off on its own" event seems more annoying. I did remember one time my phone went off when charging and at that time i used non official Samsung charger. perhaps it was linked to fast charging and a powerless charger that shuted the phone off. What about the two others occurrences when it went off? (the phone being in stand by mode). I can imagine every scenario but no valid explanation.
To zyxw :
I've had the phone update to XXU2APC4 since 3 hours.
I'll do my best to stay in touch for relevant news.
Thanks.

I had the update by Kies I presume. I did it by updating the phone in settings/software update. I had several times used Odin for my note 3 but for my A5 i didn't want to flash the whole ROM. My country is France. The New baseband is A510FXXU2APC4 and the version Number is LMY47X.A510FXXU2APC4.
At this time no restart or shut off by its own - but too soon to validate.
I will do a wipe cache very soon.
I'll warn you once restart or shut down happen, if so. :fingers-crossed:
We have the same build version so maybe you will not have the problem!
I have PC4 too , no issue so far.

Here is the issue. A friend of mine had gone a bought a Galaxy Sky SM-S320VL from TracPhone. And had been using the phone without any problems until a couple of weeks ago. Then he decided to do a Factory Reset. Instead of doing the software reset, from with in Settings, he went and did a HARD Reset without unlocking the google account. And guess what, he can't remember the account information for that phone. And came to me to reset the phone. (As I had to deal with this problem in the past with other people and their phones.)
I have downloaded the only stock rom I can find for this phone and flashed it with Odin3. But for some reason the flashing of the rom is never done. By this I mean, the phone downloads the rom as Odin sends it. Odin reports a Success with the flashing. But, when the phone reboots. The system has not been reset and FRP is still active.
I have flashed only the AP, and the phone reboots directly into setup and shows a message about an unauthorized Factory Reset.
I have flash all 4 files in the ROM set (BL, AP, CP, and CSC). and Odin states the flash was a success. The phone reboots, goes to recovery and states Starting System Update. Goes so far into the update, then stops and shows Erasing. After a short time of showing Erasing it reboots to setup. Where again the phone shows the message about authorized Factory Reset.
I have used Odin3 v3.9.0, v3.11.1, v3.11.2, v3.12.5. And I have updated to the latest USB drivers from Samsung.
So my question is this. Has anyone had come across this behavior before? And how can I get past this?
The phones particulars:
Name: Samsung Galaxy Sky
Model #: SM-S320VL(GP)
OS v: 6.0.1
Firmware #: S320VLUDU2APJ3
Model #, as reported by Downloader: SM-S320VL
Note: As a strange side effect of when I flash all 4 rom files. For some reason once the phone has failed the system update, erased and has reboot. I have complete access to the phones User data area from within my computer. But, I am unable to access the phone with adb.
Hey folks,
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Odin does a successful install on the phone but I get the unauthorized reset message and then Wifi does not work when prompted on the next screen.
Is there a tracfone version of the rom or a fix that anyone here knows of? Thanks!
@drasnah
I have yet to get any kind of reply from anyone on this. Either now one knows, and is not stating so, or doesn't care.
I have seen the wi- fi fix in another thread.
Modify /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Hope that helps!

First this is not a wi-fi problem it is a re-flashing of the rom problem.
Second, I do not have access, root or otherwise, to any of the system files on the phone.
Third, with the first two in mind this possible solution is of no help.
Fourth, Re-read my original post. I have given complete detailed information as to what I have access to and what I have done.
Can someone send me a download think for this phone i downloaded one but it won't flash it keeps failing
This device has been locked down by Tradphone and Samsung. It gives errors flashing even the correct stock firmware. It's a piece of garbage. NEVER buy anything from Tracphone. Garbage company. You'll never fix this issue. Only pushed updates will flash via software from sammy and tracphone that is built into the rom..

Not sure if that's correct? It depends on the firmware and odin version being used.

Post more details on the error, screenshots, firmware and odin version used.
Need to know if works. Or if needing to settle for a different route.

Here is the issue. A friend of mine had gone a bought a Galaxy Sky SM-S320VL from TracPhone. And had been using the phone without any problems until a couple of weeks ago. Then he decided to do a Factory Reset. Instead of doing the software reset, from with in Settings, he went and did a HARD Reset without unlocking the google account. And guess what, he can't remember the account information for that phone. And came to me to reset the phone. (As I had to deal with this problem in the past with other people and their phones.)
I have downloaded the only stock rom I can find for this phone and flashed it with Odin3. But for some reason the flashing of the rom is never done. By this I mean, the phone downloads the rom as Odin sends it. Odin reports a Success with the flashing. But, when the phone reboots. The system has not been reset and FRP is still active.
I have flashed only the AP, and the phone reboots directly into setup and shows a message about an unauthorized Factory Reset.
I have flash all 4 files in the ROM set (BL, AP, CP, and CSC). and Odin states the flash was a success. The phone reboots, goes to recovery and states Starting System Update. Goes so far into the update, then stops and shows Erasing. After a short time of showing Erasing it reboots to setup. Where again the phone shows the message about authorized Factory Reset.
I have used Odin3 v3.9.0, v3.11.1, v3.11.2, v3.12.5. And I have updated to the latest USB drivers from Samsung.
So my question is this. Has anyone had come across this behavior before? And how can I get past this?
The phones particulars:
Name: Samsung Galaxy Sky
Model #: SM-S320VL(GP)
OS v: 6.0.1
Firmware #: S320VLUDU2APJ3
Model #, as reported by Downloader: SM-S320VL
Note: As a strange side effect of when I flash all 4 rom files. For some reason once the phone has failed the system update, erased and has reboot. I have complete access to the phones User data area from within my computer. But, I am unable to access the phone with adb.

J3 sm s320vl... tracfone root availability? Just bought phone hopefully got a good one to root? Or maybe someone knows who maybe be able to... please help
No updates? Interested, I have the same phone.
There is no solution for this phone. It will forever be a Trac-phone.
Yes, it nice to imagine what could had been. If there was a fix for the locked bootloader. Its encrypted, and is highly unlikely to be broken by anyone.
Do not flash the boot.image that some people have suggested
Although that method works on some devices such as the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5. In this case flashing the boot.image from an unlocked device does nothing but places the phone into an even more precarious situation, that makes it unusable even as a Trac phone.
While its true that this very low budget phone could had been decent with a custom Rom ,
You will not be able to get it working.
I have one that belonged to my daughter a couple of years ago and I managed to get it boot into the system again.
Its only function is as a calculator, or preschool game, the cellular reception and Wifi connections are highly unstable and will not stay connected.
Now it serves as my nieces play toy. I would donate to some poor person at the Salvation Army it if it was useable.
By the way, for anyone reading this.
If you have an old phone that is useable. You could dramatically help a Homeless people, by gifting them with a phone especially, if it has some minutes on it.
This gift will help them schedule job interviews, doctors appointments , etc and you will feel good knowing that you helped someone in need.
I have done this before, and will be dropping off a Blu phone, and Kindle Tablet this week.

I have permissible SE Status but can not achieve root on this device. Also, I have not found that anyone has had success rooting this exact model.
To be clear my device is the 2016 TracFone Samsung Galaxy J3 Sky model : SM-S320VL
Build S320VUDU1APG2
Hardware Version S320 VL04
I have found reports of people with S320VLUDU2API3 stating that the were able to achieve root and then assumed that it must also be possible with S320VUDU1APG2.
I am usually the guy that can figure these things out, very often before others. But I have had no success gaining root on this device using published methods. Also, I have not seen one example of someone with this identical device who gained root.
You are apparently the Wizard of these Samsung phones, so if you know of a definite way to root it, please point me towards the solution. I would really appreciate it.
I would love to root this phone, get it working again, and gift it to lady who was beaten by her husband and she is now living in a homeless shelter with her two children. She could use a phone to help with her job search. She would appreciate it.
At the moment this phone can will not keep a signal and I can't attempt the build prop solution without root.
Thank you.

See the thread below. Root was gained, albeit temporary. However I believe this is due to kernel panics which may be solved by a few build.prop edits. We had to do the same on the J327T1.

Also if you firmware S320VUDU1APG2 then why not just update it to the firmware that has been reported to work?
I have found one these phones left on a table of a food truck area, screen was cracked - the device was only getting the android guy with triangle on it, I done some research and found the stock rom and flashed it with odin; as some have mentioned in comments above I also experienced wifi issue, so I thought I had installed incorrect rom - downloaded a different one this was a combination file that was the factory repair rom used for testing the device, but wifi worked - it wasn't a fully working telephone it didnt have the app store, well it really didnt have any apps, but I found I could copy over apk files from my PC to the device and then install them, so the phones not completely useless or junk --- it could be used for something. I myself am using that device as a security camera using IP CAM app works great. I was actually using this device for quiet some time as my roku tv remote, because my actual roku remote grown legs and walked off... i havent tried this, but I am sure you could install a launcher apk such as "apex launcher"
well i wasted enough of your time today...
