I bought a used S6 Edge+ G928F, it had no system on it and could only enter download mode, downloaded the latest firmware from Sammobile and flashed with Odin, everything worked correctly except the fingerprint scanner, when i want to set it up i get an error message (as in the image below) that says: An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor, if this message appears repeatedly restart your device.
I did restart my device several times and even booted into the stock Samsung recovery and cleared the phone's cache but still the error remains, is this a software issue or is the fingerprint scanner broken and needs replacing?
Also another minor issue i keep getting a pop up message saying quick connect has stopped, is this software or hardware related?

Desperation has set in and there is no light at the end of the tunnel in sight. My Galaxy S5 (GT-I900I) has been running xstresolite 2.2 completely fine for several months and with no new app installations or irregular behaviour, it suddenly began to soft reset constantly and require me to unlock my sim card with the code I was given. Only problem is that it gave me enough time to enter the code before restarting and repeating the process. I decided to try reflashing the ROM which instead has sent me into a series of bootloops whereby I no longer have any functionality besides recovery/download mode.
One particular attempt was able to get me through to having a clean install and use my phone again but I was met by a "MTP (and) System UI has stopped working" message and therefore had no notification bar and use of soft keys. Reflashing the exact same way once again has let me into more bootloops.
Normally I would simply download another package and reflash but as the title suggests I don't have access to a PC as I'm in the midst of travelling Eastern Europe so it is critical I have a functional phone.
I would provide more information on my device but I'm not able to access any such information as I'm in a bootloops. Any help would be seriously appreciated. Thanks.
I rooted my galaxy s7 edge (snapdragon) and everything was fine and working except I couldn't get SuperSU to install properly. I would get the app screen, but nothing else. A couple of apps would show up (Root Checker, Flashfire) after I had run them but I didn't get the typical SU screen with settings. I'm not including the softwares used (I did have debugging enabled in Develper options on the phone, secure boot unchecked, and the correct Samsung USB drivers installed) because I don't think it's relevant to my question - if not so, let me know and i'll be glad to provide the info - I'm a newbie at this so please bear with me). I read about the warning to not update the 2.74 version of SuperSU but then I saw the update beta for 2.77 so I tried that. It appeared to run ok; I could see all the commands being executed and then ending and then the phone rebooted, as it's suppose to do. This is when the problem emerged; a screen came up saying "start up failed" and at the top left of the screen it said 'Custom binary blocked by secure boot (boot.img). I rebooted to TWRP recovery mode and tried rebooting which again resulted in the start up failure screen. I then tried the wipe data\factory reset setting and the same thing happened. I then booted to maintenance mode and got the warning screen about a custom OS installation can cause problems but if you want to proceed press volume up key which I did and got the usual Downloading page. At the top of the Downloading page I noted it said, among other identifying info: Odin mode (high speed), FRP lock: off, QUALCOMM Secure Boot: enable, and Secure Download: enable.
But, when connecting the usb cable to the phone and pc, my computer (Win 10) doesn't even see it. Not sees and doesn't recognize, but doesn't even see it. I tried a second USB cable and different ports but got the same results. I tried a second computer and got the same thing.
I am guessing that if I could still access the phone to run rooting apps I could get past the lock. If not now, maybe later on when someone figures our a way to do so. But without a working connection to the phone I am helpless. I am wondering if Verizon disables USB intentionally, so that the phone essentially becomes useless. Or, is it a coincidence and perhaps there is something wrong with the usb hardware.
Is there a way out of this other than having to pay for it to be fixed (which Samsung won't do - I called - and maybe Verizon not either).
Thanks in advance -

so i got my hands on a s6 edge plus live demo unit. so i decided to root it but that failed, then i installed a custom rom and it worked. so i tried to install xposed so i booted my phone into recovery mode but i had an error message that said about the frp lock, but now when i boot my phone it keeps booting to recovery mods and i can't boot it normally. so i searched the internet and found nothing, so i tried myself but i got my phone in an akward situation now... when i boot it up i immedtiatly get a screen saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". i tried that but it said my device wasn't compatible and even with Kies and Kies 3 i had the same message. and when flash anything with odin even the stock files it says it failed and my phone says that frp lock thingy again... so can anyone help me please because i really want that phone to keep...
Hello guys, I have this weird A3000-H problem.
So the tablet boots normally, it loads in one particular state every time, like it's booting an image. After a while or if you try to do something, running a program, uninstalling, changing settings it's starts the cascade of pretty much "every has stopped working" and it's like that until you restart it and it's all over the same again.
So far I've tried everything I could scour from the internet, XDA forums included.
• I've tried to flash new stock rom 4.2.2, then I tried the 4.4.2 from Hesham.
If I use an older, version 3 SP Flash Tools it gives me this error at the end:

If I use version 5+ of SP Flash Tools it gives me an "OK" download or upgrade, but when I disconnect and turn on the tablet it's in it's same previous state, it didn't change anything.
• I tried full format - it did absolutely nothing despite SPFT giving me the okay
SPFT memory test returns this error : .imgur com / jbSUwV5.png
• I tried writing memories - nothing changes despite getting on OK message.
• I tried to fastboot CWM - I can't make the tablet to enter the mode, it just restarts and boots in it's previous state.
• I've tried to connect it to PC and delete folders manually, despite windows saying the folders are deleted and not showing them anymore, as soon as I reconnect the tablet again they show up as they were. It's like the on board memory is locked to writing anything on it.
• Of course I tried manually resetting to factory settings, uninstalling software from the tablet and so on, but that just makes the errors of "stopped working" to pop and restart to same condition.
I would appreciate any help at this point, I'm about to give up on it.
P.S.: I can't post whole links yet so I had to improvise a bit.
Hello,
I managed to reinstall my hardbrick phone. Turns on, it works, but there are bugs:
- the screen does not respond properly to the touch;
- find the wifi network, but it will not connect
- in camera mode, "gallery application unfortunately stopped" message.
To be complete:
I found two ROMs for the phone. The original and an upgrade version. Both of them were downloaded from needrom.com. After installing the original, there were only two errors:
- camera;
- WiFi.
After installing the upgrade, the screen error came up. I tried to reinstall the original but there was a problem with the screen error.
Now it's just softbrick.
The phone is a Chinese device, SSTX P8 +. MT6580
Can anyone help me improve my bugs?
