That's just the lockscreen pin. It's whatever you had originally set up assuming that you are the owner of this device. If you forgot it you can always flash stock firmware via Odin. You can find the latest version of Odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539 and the latest stock firmware from here: http://sammobile.com/. Make sure you search for your model of the core prime or you will brick device. Also make sure to flash the firmware in Odin in he ap slot in Odin and that you are in download mode. Enter download mode by powering device off then pressing and holding the power + home + volume down and when prompted press volume up to confirm.

[Q] Help! Samsung S5 no service

For two weeks, my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F has no signals. It keeps showing No Service, I can't receive calls/messages at all.
I have used Smart Tutor to contact Samsung, their engineer reset the system (maybe), but couldn't make it work. Then I sent the phone back to UK service centre, they sent it back to me quickly with doing anything --just because my phone is not in European warranty. :crying:
The details of the phone:
IMEI is right, fireware is Country: Hong Kong, PDA: G900FZHU1BOA1,
From I have read, it seems like the Radio was turned off. But I don't know how to turn it on.
I tried to enter Service mode by dialing code *#*#4636#*#* but it didn't work for me.
I can get into ServiceMode by code *#0011# but I don't know what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi lingowistico,
I did what you said, but it still can't work.
Is the modem not for the UK? (btw, the phone was from Hongkong, but I use it in the UK)

Aside from the radio/modem that you should try flashing i suggest trying a custom rom as i had a similar issue on the official one

You can do that by reading the stickies like everyone else does instead of expecting that someone else will do it for you.
same here in 3 different devices...
The same happened to mine and my wife's devices. Since last Saturday I rooted them both, load 4.4.4, then ulgrade them to 5.0... downgrade them again. Tried flas modem a d flash radio. Seems nothing is working. Both are g900h. And today just realized that my cousin's g900f just have the same issue since friday. How can I know the date of the automatic installed updates... maybe some update cause this?
Also tried shortcut master to enter the secref codes with super user... no code is working...
The signal just comes and go every 5 mi utes. Sometime I can make a phone call but it crashed like 1 minute after I made it. Lazy data signal.
What else do you guys reccomend?

Just flash your firmware from Odin using a PC, I had a similar problem in my tablet, it didn't had download mode either and that worked, try it.
When I connect it to Pc it keeps bootlooping and pc gives sound of connecting then disconnecting of hardware.

Turn off your device, keep your finger in the button until the device is off or pull off the battery, connect it to the PC and flash your firmware through Odin, at that moment I used the 3.70 i think but you can use the latest version it's fine, that should install download mode and the whole firmware if that doesn't work I'm afraid I don't know how else I can help, that's what I did and it worked

You are right I did it the same way and it worked for me too. I actually was thinking the phone was quite dead bur or wasn't, I just flashed the recovery firmware 4.4.4 Russian and if you ask me food the step by step procedure it was just like this:
1. I started the Odin 3.07 and connected my device to see is it was detected or not, my surprise the Odin catch it, and shown added and the port number was 18.
2. I just pulled out the USB cable from my laptop and loaded the BL file only to just flash the bootloader file and see what would happen, I was trying it bcz I was totally disappointed with the device i.e. Grand Prime 530H Duos. I also noticed that my device was not stable even with that black screen it used to restart after almost five minutes in that case. And I knew that in 5 minute I will just be able to flash BL file. The BL file was loaded on the Odin now and I inserted the USB cable again while keeping the vol down button pressed to my laptop when the Odin again found and connected with my device, I didnot take any more time to flash BL file.
3. As soon as i had not flashed all the SW therefore, my device didn't boot properly, and I thought it didn't work but when my device was connected to the computer I just listened the startup tone of the Android 4.4.4. From that moment I knew my device was not dead now so i had to select all four files from the recovery firmware of 4.4.4 and connect the device to odin even there was no sign of download mode, as soon i clicked the Start button i saw many things in the Odin which were good enough to see. after the firmware flashed the device got started.

Is your USB cable original is it working on other devices? And are you using a USB 2.0 port, that is very much necessary, for Odin and some other hardware/software environment applications. And you also must have Samsung USB drivers installed in your PC, you can also try all this process on some other PCs

Hello!
Yes, that USB works with other phones. And even not being the original one, it was working to transfer files before this issue...
It is a USB 2.0 port, and even when I go to "Device Manage" on Windows, it doesn't show any port with an unknown device or something like that...
Thanks!

Download these two files and follow the procedure :
Download Odin 3.09 >> http://androidhost.org/PVAIv

Make sure you have all the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC and use original USB cable and also make sure your phone battery is above 80%.
1. Extract Odin and modem file on your PC
2. Enable USB debugging on your phone
3. Prepare your phone to Downloading Mode by pressing (volume down+ home button+ power button), next press volume UP to continue (now your phone is in downloading mode)
4. Run Odin on your PC, now connect USB cable
(At this point when you connect your phone, Odin will show a blue box, so that the connection is successful and now you can proceed)
5. Click check box in front of CP, click CP and browse your "modem.bin" file
6. Click start.
If it's successful it will show a success and Pass message.
Please note: I'm not responsible if you break or brick your phone. Don't click any other option/button in Odin other than mentioned.

Thankz bro for your Guide and sorry for my late reply i follow your guide but unable to resolve my problem only airtel and vodafone sims get network i tried reliance gsm,aircel,bsnl,idea all sims get network only for 2 minutes and then network are gone in only emergency mode.
Hope you understand my problem
If ur problem is not solved then 1st format your phone then download latest firmware available for ur device extract firmware file then go to odin connect to pc via an usb cable and go to download mode by pressing volume down+home button+power button together and then u will see an android icon after this u need to press volume up button to go to download mode then select ap option in odin (Note:- U need to check only ap option and select the tar.md5 file that u've get from firmware file after extract.)then click start button it will take time about 10 to 15 minutes. After pass msg u will see that your phone automatically rebooted and it is booting and after 2 or 3 mins complete your setup and check those sim Cards which is not working for u.(I Think Surely It Should Work For You)

I don't have your model of phone, I've got SM-S820L. Have you tried booting into ODIN mode?
If you haven't tried that, I would do so and try using ODIN to flash a firmware update. You will need Samsung Drivers, a new release of ODIN3, and Kies or Kies3.
There are some good guides on this site that can push you along your way to full recovery of your phone.:good:
