[Q] Multiple SMS duplicates, Unmodified device.

Hey there!
My gf has a Samsung Galaxy Y and it suddenly started receiving multiple duplicates of every SMS sent to her.
The phone is completely unmodified and stock in every possible way.
3 days ago the phone was sent to phone shop for service and it seems they flashed it.
Today the phone was received and it still has the same problem.
Network operator claims they see no problems on their side..
What can i do?

Hmm unusual problem
Well I admit I don't know the reason y this is happening but I know flashing stock rom via Odin will help if it is a software defect
Hit thanks if I helped
No wait try a factory reset and see if that doesn't help then flash stock rom via odin

i suppose the factory reset was the phone shop's way because we received the phone back with
no installed apps and phonebook/sms/everything deleted..
i will try Odin as soon as i get my hands on the phone, any good tutorials for it?

hi ,
First ,im not sure what you mean with "start ". your phone,is it commpletely "dead " ?
if so have you plugged it into wallsocket/charged ? and then tried again ?
Can you boot up your phone /do you see Samsung logo ?
What happens when you do ...power /volume down/home button ...?
If you can boot and see Samsung logo, what i can suggest( at this stage )
is to search for video on XDA /or Youtube .
how to enter download mode ..
eg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zvwUS6as4
This should give you idea about download mode .
good luck

If your Phone is able to go in Recovery Mode(Press Powerbutton+Volume UP+HOME to go in RecoveryMode) Either its Stock Recovery Or Custom recovery....
Wipe/Format every thing......
Than try to Go in Download mode if Suceeded than you should Try to Download this & Flash VIA Odin its Stock Touchwiz Lollipop Multi CSC firmware....
or Download Your Rom from Sammobile Here
I hope your problem will be solved

hi ,
well if you can see Samsung logo ,that good !!
your phone seems to be soft bricked..( not really very big problem ,don't worry ..!!!! )
Only way to fix , is to flash your current stock ROM .
if you prefer Kies well ,i stated in above post that i don't think much of Kies .
One point i would like to point out.
Download mode ...
first pull battery ..then insert battery
if you hold buttons ..home +power + volume ......you get to a triangle warning........then press volume up again ..download mode (you will see same as screenshot( its an old foto of my Note 2 , but similar ) ....download mode ..Green Android man ..note if you want to get out of this ..pull battery )
good luck
post note
i have had same problem as you in past once or twice...!
fixed it with reflashing correct stock rom .
So just try to think positively ,it really very small issue .

THanks DUDE!!!

[Problem]: i do "wipe system" And now my mobile does not work.

i do "wipe system" via recovery . and now I have Official recovery , becuse i install it by mistake
and my phone It does not connect to computer .
how i can fix it ? are there something like recovery (update.zip) to install it from official recovery ? or any thing please
sorry for my language bad .

You'll want to use ODIN to restore your phone to normal. Your computer will not recognized your phone as a USB storage device, but ODIN should be able to see it.
You'll need to find the correct ODIN files for your phone type (Tmobile, Verizon, etc and the ROM combo). If you just go to "http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5" you'll see different sections based on the service provider; the ODIN files will be in there somewhere.
Once you find the thread there will be accompanying instructions on what to do.

thank's for your reply .
I've experimented with many files ODIN. but any of them did not succeed !
and before this problem, No computer connects to mobile !
model phone : G-900F :crying:

download mode working? press all at the same time: vol down + menu + power button. then follow instruction (press vol up to confirm enter download mode).
once your phone on download mode then connect to PC. ODIN should recognize your phone n flash it. (i assume your PC has all driver installed and u have correct firmware for yr variant)

Don"t freak out.

Mohammed this thread is probably going to be closed. because again its not where it should be. so PM me if this isn't clear .
i wipe system every time i try a new ROM. so dont panic okay
whatever the issue with RECOVERY it doesn't matter if the odin mode or download is still reachable.
if u having trouble with PC recognizing odin mode on your phone. try to make sure u have both samsung usb and google usb drivers.
( NOTE: if it still doesnt recognized it try another usb cable. )

and if it does launch ODIN 3.09 . and make sure that u have the right firmware for g-900f in good state not corrupted.

Help with brick

Hello
I have F version, country Italy
I tried install a few roms but I always had freeze screen and reboots. So finally tried restore from Odin and I had brick. I used the last firmware from Odin and one from this forum of "Fast download" And this only shows the bootimage and reboot again of freeze
In download mode shows in System: "custom", Recovery: Samsung Oficial
I cant enter on recovery mode
Im not sure if Samsung I still give me "warranty"
Anybody can help me ?
PD: sorry4myenglish

best bet is to try and flash another ROM if you can get into download mode still (making sure that you flash a ROM for the right version of your phone).
Samsung probably wont honor warranty as you tripped KNOX when flashing in the first place (that voids your warranty and I belive download mode states this)
EDIT:
the right version for you is the first link on the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-...icial-stock-roms-firmware-aoj5-g928f-t3231589
as long as you have the SMG928F version from Italy

well it might be a corrupt download, but theres no MD5 for the files form that thread to match.
Can you enter download mode? If so then I would probably flash a custom recovery and install custom ROM just to get the phone running again.

I just tried enter but only shows the message "recovery mode is senandroid enforcing" then shows (after 1 min maybe) the screen like a tv without signal

Some days ago I had exactly the same problem as you. You need to download "Smart Switch" on PC (something like samsung kies) and then recovery your phone through it. This samsung app will download a new system and completly repair your phone, after that if you want to install audax rom or something else you MUST go to developer options and enable USB DEBUGGING and OEM UNLOCK or you will have the same problem after rebooting phone.
Hope it helps, I bricked my phone for 1 day and managed to repair it with it. ODIN and all other stuff didn't worked.

Nice, I did not know that SmartSwitch for PC had build in recovery tools, but that is good to know.

That message means that SElinux is enforced and the way around that is a custom kernel as the stock on is forcing it always.

Natherul after I bricked my phone by installing audax and the unchecking in dev options "oem unlock" Smart Switch was the only one thing that actually unbricked my phone :good:

Looking 4 fix for b.s.o.d. Note 4

I have SM-N910V and my notification lights work and it takes a charge, but my display is black ( no there are no cracks) and I have tried the battery drain method 1,2,3 minutes several times with no luck..... any1 have any other solutions,, I have exhausted all the searches I could think of..
Thank you in advance for any ideas/help

Can you boot in to download mode or recovery

Yes ,, just can't see anything...

So how do you know if you can boot in to download mode if you can't see anything?
Try to flash new stock rom with pit file.
Like you would like to unbrick it

Odin says it is connected,, when attempting to put it in download mode.. and I will try that ,, not my phone so I was trying not to erase everything,, but it might just be the best way to fix

So if you turn it on does it make any sound, or something?
When it's ON and you plug it in to pc can you see it there?

Ok I have tried Odin and the phone is recognized on computer,, but no luck with fixing the display,,,,, I think the display (board) is cracked ...oh well
I am still rocking mine on star's Apocalyps Rom ....
