{Q}Data Reset Through ##3282#

Where is the option in the menu (after bringing up the Dialer and ##3282#) to do a data reset? I knew this before I think and can't remember exactly. I'm doing this mainly because my 3G goes in and out randomly. Thanks

Once you put in the ##DATA code, select edit. Enter in your MSL. Press Menu. Select Restore. Once that's done and the phone resets, go into your settings and update Profile.

After I entered in my MSL and hit menu, nothing comes up. It just sits there. Running Epic Experience 2.0.06

Where can I find my msl?

Did you try cycling the data off and on from the power off menu?

Sorry left out a step. Go into data profile, then hit menu and restore. Just tried it on mine. So order is once again:
1. ##3282#
2. Select Edit
3. Enter MSL
4. Select Data Profile
5. Press Menu
6. Select restore.

Yea, I've tried every screen possible and then pushing the menu button and nothing happens. I'm not worried about it now. I flashed a new rom and its way better. but i checked after the flash and the restore option still doesn't come up. so i dunno whats going on

what exactly doese "restore" do here?
does it wipe my phone?
BTW: to get your MSL
1. call sprint
2. download an app in the market: MSL Reader

A ##3282# Restore will erase your user NAI, or data profile username. This will not erase any of your personal data, and will restore your data profile username after you go to do a data profile update. hope this helps!

I've looked myself and I don't think it's there under DK28 ROMs. I never looked on 2.1, but there is NO restore on any of the DK28s I've installed.
FYI, I have had very good results with changing the proxy server.

New rooted phone, not showing in online play store

I've just rooted my nexus 4 phone and now I can't see it when viewing the apps in the play store on my PC. The device isn't showing.
I'm new to android, so never done this before, I wanted to use the titanium backup app which needed root access. Not sure if this is meant to happen or not?
I am signed in with my account on both the phone and online. On phone I can see the apps I have purchased etc, but can't add new apps from the online store.

Power down the phone. press volume down and power button on the same time and you will get into bootloader mode, use volume to get in recovery mode. You will see android with a red exlclamation press volume up and hit power, then select wipe cache partition and hit power and reboot after the wipe.

Not sure what I did, but it worked. Went into the android with red exclamation, but buttons didn't do anything or seemeed to not do anything for ages. It rebooted and now seems ok.
Thank you.

[H] Debug mode not active

Hello,
I cannot activate the debug mode in options. The field is grey and not possible is to tick them. Phone is rooted by towelroot. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks for help.

Nope, because you didn't say which options menu you were looking at or what you were trying to debug. Are you in the Settings menu? If so, have you enabled Developer options? Do you mean the Service mode debug option menu? Are you taking about a debug level somewhere or a logcat? Something else entirely?
As you didn't describe what you are looking at we can only guess. We'll assume the USB debug mode since that is the most common usage -
Settimgs > Gemeral > Developer options > Debugging: USB debugging
If you don't find the Developer options heading, then go to:
Settings > General > About device > Firmware build number
And tap on the build number until you see the message, “Congratulations you are now a developer”.
If you've already done that, I can only assume that you somehow missed that garish and prominent switch at the top of the Developer Options page.

Ensure that you do not have an USB cable connected when you try.
If still greyed out, reboot to recovery mode and wipe system cache.
If still greyed out, dial *#0808# and make a screen shot.
Screen shot of the Developer options page as well, please.

Try disabling Developer Options with the slide switch at the top of the page.
Wait five seconds, then turn the switch back on. Then try clicking on the check box even if it still appears to be greyed out.
Before continuing, I need you to confirm that you are trying the suggested steps. Otherwise there is too much uncertainty around whether you missed a step or tried it and the result. It's not possible to see patterns developing when we have no idea if you tried the steps.
e.g.
You didn't comment or confirm that you had tried these steps
Ensure that you do not have an USB cable connected when you try.
If still greyed out, reboot to recovery mode and wipe system cache.

Presumably you have a stock recovery mode.
Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds to assure that it is powered off.
Replace the battery.
Press and hold the volume up, then home, then power keys.
You can release the keys when you see the phone start to boot.
This should boot to recover mode.
Use the volume up and down keys to scroll through the on screen menu.
Use the power key to select wipe cache partition
If you still can't find this option, tell is what choices are in your recovery menu.
Let us know if you are able to wipe the cache partition or not. And if it affects the greyed out box.
.

Already wiped. Nothing changed

The only other thing that I can suggest is a factory data reset. This can be done from the settings menu or in most variants, from recovery mode. It would default all of your user settings to remove any obscure settings or conflict that may be causing this.
You should do a backup before trying that because it would remove your settings and files. A backup would allow you to restore your information after the test.
Should the problem remain after wiping the data partition, then the prime suspect would become missing or corrupt system files. That would be fixed by reinstalling the firmware.
And by process of elimination, a problem still extant after that would inevitably be hardware based. Likely a damaged USB jack.

fffft, I will leave it as it is. Thanks for support

Had the same problem - resolved
I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5. What I found to be the problem was that I was using Samsung KNOX to segregate my personal information from my company email and calendar. When this was installed the company forced some security settings on my phone. When I removed Knox I was then able to access the option.
Even if you aren't using Knox, it could be security settings on your phone if you are using it for corporate emails.

FYI samsungknox.com/en/faq/can-i-use-usb-debugging-mode-device-running-knox
According to Samsung:
Having My KNOX, KNOX Express, or KNOX Premium installed disables USB debugging on the device.
KNOX Express and Premium have the ability in Admin Portal to enable USB debugging, but My KNOX does not.

Thank you so much ,, have the same proble in the samsung s5 by criket , but this comment resolve my problem , thanks

[Q] how to reset my galaxy s4 when the screen doesn't turn

Hello there, I dropped my phone and now the screen won't turn, but the actual phone is starting up. How can I factory reset it through a adb? It is not rooted

You could remote wipe it if you have a google account connected to it.
I don't think it requires any other action except the phone having an internet connection.

By flashing a stock firmware and select a .pit file and check repartition. You have to know what you are doing though.
Or boot into the recovery, look for a screenshot of the recovery on google and try to factory reset it using the buttons.

Yes but that would be fairly trial and error.

Unfortunately the phone wasn't set up for android device manager as device administrator so can't use this function.
Also the screen doesn't turn on, so can't use the buttons for doing a hard reset through recovery

You can. But you have to estimate by using pictures of the stock recovery.

How to recover G935P Sprint finger print after remote unlock by ebay?

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.
Thank you in advance, Hugs from Brazil, friends

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.
