I write from Brazil, I own a SM-G935P Sprint and unlocked remotely through ebay. Data, telephone, sms, everything works perfectly but the finger print has stopped. How can I recover it?
I beg your pardon for my little English.

In Settings -> About Device -> Status, does it say Official or Custom?
If it says Custom, the guy probably forgot to flash your phone back to Stock. The engineering bootloader will deactivate fingerprint sensor. You can fix it by flashing the Stock ROM back to your phone.

Flashing the stock ROM won't undo the Domestic SIM Unlock. Flashing will wipe your data so just backup all your important stuff first (photos, music, etc).

I installed via odin to Stock Rom and it all worked again. I did not lose the unlock and it was a success.
Here is the Room link I used
QE1: https://www.gizrom.com/g935pvps4bqe1-sprint-galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935p-firmware/
Just a question, if I install another version other than QE1 I have a problem? Or can I migrate to room U, PK1, QAA etc?

Don't really understand your English, but if you getting signal bars but no data you would need to follow the instructions that can be founded in many threads. I'll however paste it here for you.
Step 1 - Download Shortcut Master Lite from the Play Store.
Step 2 - Open Shortcut Master Lite and select the Menu (three vertical dots in the upper right).
Step 3 - Select App Explorer, and then All Apps
Step 4 – Navigate (scroll down) to com.test.LTEfunctionality and select.
Step 5 – Select the first item labled "LTEFunctionalityTest" and select launch.
Step 6 – Scroll down to LTE APN Setting and select.
Step 7 – Select the APN setting to edit or select add to add your own.
Step 8 – After editing or adding APN settings, select menu and save your settings.
Congratulations, you have successfully edited and saved your APN settings.

If you do not know what you are doing do not root or flash a rom in odin, use kies to check for updates since you could break your device and you would be responsible

Well I don't wanna brick my tablet, but I wanna unlock it for my carrier, because I live in Mexico and I got a T-mobile tab, I also wanted to make phonecalls and use 3G/EDGE and send text messages, thats why I am wondeeing what would happen if I brick it by doing it wrong if there is any way to get itback to normal, doesnt matter if I loose all my data...
Ok, for those of you who want/need to wipe your phone so that it deletes EVERYTHING so that you get it back to your "Out of the Box" status. I have the answer!
First: Back up What ever you want/need to back up.
Then: MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP WHAT YOU WANT/NEED!!!!!
DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE YOU SAVED YOUR STUFF!!-Did I make myself clear that you will LOSE EVERYTHING!!!
Read This: T-Mobile Support Community: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2500
To do another reset, that will possibly leave some cache on the phone ( I know this, as I have done it and it left info on it).
Follow these directions:
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may erase all downloaded content, including ringtones, images, programs, and contacts stored in the internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available).
To perform a hard reset, follow these steps.
1. Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory. See: Back up device files: Samsung Galaxy S II
2. From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Privacy.
5. Tap to clear the Backup my data an Automatic restore check boxes, if desired. (you might have to clear Automatic Restore first, the Back my Data)
6. Tap Factory data reset.
7. Tap Reset phone.
8. Tap Erase everything.
9. If prompted, enter the password.
· Note: The default password is 1234.
10. Tap OK.
11. If necessary, enter and confirm the password again.
12. Tap OK.
With that all said and done, now to the Good way to Really reset your device.
First: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO SAVE!! I backed up my folders and my SD card just in case, using Samsung Kies found Here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Bare with me, as I am doing this from memory. I performed it like 3 times yesterday.
1. Start with the phone powered off.
2. Hold the followling 3 buttons all at once starting in this order, Sound UP, Sound Down and Power. (Yes, you will need to use 2 hands).
3. Once the Samsung Android Screen pops up (the second Samsung Screen) release the Power button and keep holding the Volume Down. You will get a bunch of commands (like 4 or 5), First I chose to wipe my Cache, then I chose the option to "Factory Reset Out of the Box" Status. To move where you want to go, simply use the volume up and down. Then to select the item you want, touch your HOME key on the bottom of the phone.
That's it!! You now have your phone back to the first day you bought it. If you didn't back up your apps, they you just have to spend time reinstalling them all over again..
When you start by setting it up, don't allow it to restore your info/settings. I think it's like the 3rd or 4th screen after you touch the Android to start setting it up. Just unclick the box's...or box..like I said, I did it over 24 hrs ago, and more than once...testing it out each time for different things..This one way made sure everthing was gone and I started out fresh.
Hope this helps!!

No it won't. I know that because I had to give O2 my Galaxy S2 to change my defect display. I already had rooted it and therefore the "custom-download-counter" wasn't 0 again. In order to get a flashed/rooted phone back to the "out of the box status" you need to:
1. Install a stock firmware & kernel
2. Perform a hard reset*
3. Use a special "USB-Jig" to reset the counter.
* I used the number, then removed the folders/files like "MIUI" and the images of the custom-roms I flashed. Then I bored into the recovery and cleared the cache.

I confirm that this the only way to reset to out of the box, especially on custom kernels or root
You need to flash a full ROM through the new JIG cable not the old JIG. Old JIG won't reset counter
Be aware, most new ROMs here include old SBL and not the original to avoid the old JIG blacklisting
Better use an untouched "one file" ROM from samfirmware or grab your own ROM from Kies temps folder while it updates your phone
I personally like this way:
1- Use Odin through new JIG to flash an old official untouched ROM, 2.2.1 or older
2- Use KIES to originally update to the last official firmware, disable backup phone during this step
3- Hard reset and format internal SD card

They won't bother to check if it's the new bootloader or old bootloader. Why do you guys like to make things complicated. Occam's razor.
Also, unless Ben has updated Heimdall with the info I passed along from Odia or we get a new version of Odin, even if you use an integrated Jig cable the counter will not reset.
Simple way to get fully reset:
1. Flash desired firmware and reboot
2. Dial *2767*3855#
Job done.

Hi Guys!!
This is emergency!! I was trying to install recovery . I was successful in flashing recovery through the Nexus 4 Toolkit. After a while non of the networks are connecting. Wifi dosen't even startup, no mobile network! Please HELP!!
Thanks
In settings, does it display an imei number or is it 0's/garbage?
Maybe you need to input your apn settings for your carrier again? I know one of the tool kits I used had an option to backup apn settings probably for this exact reason. Try rebooting your phone also.

Did you make a backup of your efs folder? Or any backups? What you have is a missing imei number.

Did you try flash the AOSP image from Google's website?

What you did and don't realize is that you had to unlock the bootloader to root and install a custom recovery and by doing that you wiped your phones data, all of it. Unlocking the bootloader puts the phone back into the state when you first received it and it has to be setup all over again.
Flashing the stock image will also take you back to a state where the phone was when you first received it and you will have to set it up again.
I'm not absolutely sure you need to do that or just set the phone up again like you did when you first got it. If you can't get it working again then reflash the stock image and restart from there. To do it with the toolkit you have to download it manually then place it into the folder in the toolkit directory for flashing files. The toolkit should have instructions on how to do this.
Unfortunately at this point anything you had stored on the phone is gone for good.

Hi all,
Timepin( lockscreen pin lock by JC) has recently lock me out of my note 3. Both my password and default password does not work. I'm rooted using URDLV and mobile Odin to x-note 7 ROM so my bootloader is old Mi7 but my Knox is still 0x0.
Author JC has advice me to factory reset and I'll not loose root and I'll have to JTAG if I want to retrieve my data before I factory reset.
My question is how do I JTAG to retrieve my data and is there an alternative before I factory reset my phone.
Thx for your help in advance.

If it is worth taking apart your phone, rewiring your CPU circuits and then fusing it all back together just to retrieve some data, then go do it. You don't usually use JTag for anything but fixing a bricked phone or bypassing some hardcoded security algorithm.
Using JTag to recover data makes no sense, you void your warranty and the price would be high even if you do it yourself or give it to someone else.
See my post in timepin thread, there is detailed method, there is not need to restore or install new rom.... I will write in hurry here.... Go to recovery and using file manager or using adb delete this file
/data/system/lockscreen.db and boot your phone, there will not be any pin, password or pattern etc you can use your phone fine

Do you have USB debugging still enabled on the phone and your PC USB already approved for that? Since in that case you can use ADB even without your password!

You start the phone, leave it in the locked screen and then plug-in the USB and then you run something like
adb shell
If that works it means you can do some stuff from there. Like reading/writing anything (as long as you also gave adb root permissions). Run just
adb
on the PC and you will see a list of commands, for instance with
adb pull
you can get files from the phone.
If the password problem is strictly in a program (and not in the OS) you can also uninstall that program with
adb uninstall

Using JTAG to recover data is a common way of doing so, and an advisable way when it appears to be some data corruption (which is the likely cause of this issue). Getting someone to dump the data shouldn't cost more than $35-50usd unless you need someone with forensic background for some reason (not needed) here.

But the thing is, I wouldn't ever take apart my phone, voiding all warranty just to recover some data. I believe the majority of the people won't either.
Unless the phone is not broken, people would just give that data up.

Many people yes. This user told me in email he had no adb access, it now appears to be a different case.
With adb he can dump the info, or just use root (since he is rooted) to delete /data/data/com.cunninglogic.dynamicpin/shared_prefs/* and the /data/system/password.key (or likely on his device I think elsewhere, possible /data/system/LockSettings.db).
Data recovery via jtag is common.
Hello Gentlemen,
Let me try to keep this short.
I got a new Android phone recently and had planned to port all my app backups from the N9005.
As things happen, I ran the Samsung app for backup and did a factory reset before checking the same.
The backup made a fool out of me, nearly all the crucial stuff is missing.
So now I need to recover the settings from the post "factory reset" Note 3.
What would be the fastest and least painful way to-
a. Root the SM9005;
b. Recover the backup (XML files for tasker, Aquamail, Biz Calendar and so on);
c. Unroot the app and be done with it.
I need to unroot as the last step as I plan to have the phone loaded with a kid friendly UI and keep it for the kids for long trips. Do not want anything wary taking over it.
Any suggestions and help is welcome!
Thanks,
CKhurana
Your data were erased during the factory reset.
Agreed

Yeah, I know. But a recovery is possible AFAIK until the free space is overwritten? Just like any disk based data recovery happens?
Can you help me with options on the root?
Thanks,

Well the simplest one without hassle is either flashing recovery IMG and rooting via SuperSU.
