Hey guys,
I have got a s7 edge dual that my friend has sent from hongkong. The device is perfect and doesnt have any issues.
However it isn't working here in India. It shows "Data Connection Only" when i insert any sim card of India.
What could be the problem?
Also, i tried to enter "Download Mode" it doesnt work, it enters a weird looking chinese menu, which looks like device testing menu, which i couldnt understand. Power + Volume down + home key isnt working. Power + Volume Up + Home key is taking me to "Boot Options". From there if i go to "Recovery Mode" it just shows a Dead Android.
Also, when i boot up the phone it just shows Blue colored rotating orbit near "Android" instead of "Samsung" logo and then a Green colored screen appears showing Android loading which start the phone.
Should i load Indian ROM on this and check?

There is a good chance that the phone you have is a Chinese clone (replica) and not an official Samsung.
Good luck, have a great day!

yes, you have a clone and there is not much you can do about upgrading it.
You maybe able to find and upgrade on a Chinese site but how reliable it is unknown.

There is not much anyone can do to upgrade cloned phones. You just have to live with it the way it is.

at the "no command" press power (hold it) and tap volume up (once) this should give you the option to factory reset, since in your first post you said you werent able to.

I am having the same problem when i go into download mode . one way you can verify that if your not 3 is real or fake is buy comparing the imei numbers. compare the imei by dialing *#06# and the imei listed on the back of the phone.
i am going through another problem. my air view is constantly on, it never turns off. even though i have gone through settings and turned it off
please help me guys/girls.

Probably fakes
You might need to read this:

Recently purchased S4 SGH-I337M locked to Bell. Before I paid for the phone I installed CPU-Z and Genuine Galaxy apps just to make sure it is not fake S4. Both apps showed the phone is genuine S4. The phone looks genuine inside (I checked the motherboard, camera, etc) and outside (thin frame, power light far from the speaker, etc). The phone is running offical ROM.
However, I can't put the phone in download mode using buttons. Tried all possible combinations so many times. I can put the phone in download mode using ADB but even then there is nothing on the screen. I was able to flash the latest official Bell firmware via ADB hoping the new flash will enable download mode. No luck. Still no download mode. When holding volume down, home and power buttons the phone vibrates, I let the power button go and after that nothing happens. The screen stays black. I tried the combination without home button, just volume down and power button. Still nothing. When using the phone all buttons work properly. I am able to put the phone into recovery mode no problem. Recovery mode displays late (I need to wait for 7-10 seconds) but it looks and works just fine.
One other thing that is also strange - there is no "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo when the phone boots up. The phone stays black and the first thing it shows is the Samsung booting animation.
Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this before?
What could be the issue here?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestion/advice.
I apologize if I posted this in a wrong category.
Hello guys.
I do have an SGS4 i9505 which runs on CM for more than two years now.
In February 2015, I've installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 then CM12 and the associated GAPPS.
Today, May 20th, I did the update to CM12.1-20150519 from the updater of my phone (Settings, About..., CyanogenMod).
Unfortunately, since then, my phone does not want to boot anymore. It keeps boot looping. I can see the (nice) "Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505" screen but nothing more.
I can access the Download Mode but only for a couple seconds, then the phone shuts down.
I can press the VolDown + Power button to try to access my recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.0 as I previous mentioned). If I do see the same "Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505" screen with the "recovery access" message in blue in the top left corner of the screen, it does not launch it at all...
Have you guys any idea how I could resolve this issue which seems quite fatal ? Is my phone hard bricked ?
[05/21] EDIT : The battery does not seem to charge anymore. No LED noitification, no warm in the back of it.
[05/22] EDIT : The phone can not switch on properly, I have to withdraw then place it back in.
Thanks in advance,
Daga.
No you can relax. It's your power button that is faulty. Either try to wiggle it lose or replace it. It costs around 2 dollar.
I'll try it, thanks.
I did not mention it before (and just edited my first message this way), but I can not start my "phone normally". I hve to withdraw the battery then pu back in to do so.
Thanks again,
Daga.

I put my money on the power button It's a common problem for the s4.
If it were the Power button, would not the battery charge anyway ?
Thanks,

take the battery out the phone and with your finger, slide across the side of the power button back and forth repeatedly. Pop battery in and see if it boots ?
You bet it good on the Power button !
I used a needle and try to "extract" it. If I did not succeed in it, it made feel my phone way better.
Thanks a lot for the tip. I would not have imagined how a simple Power button could lead to such kind of troubles...
Have a nice week end guys, and thanks again.
