I have the Galaxy A205U by metropcs and was wondering has any of y'alls recovery had 2 of them and I can get to the download mode. (Not sure how because I thought it was locked) My phone has been acting very fishy for awhile now. It's a very long story but I really wish this phone would go back to normal. I used to think it wasn't a bad phone. I'm not sure if it's doing what its doing because of the update to android 10 one ui or if its cuz someone put there own app on it. If so is there a way to use adb to find any apps that someone made and replaced the original app or how would I tell the difference in a factory app or someone loaded one on it??

Also... does anyone know anything about google play services and what all u can do with it?? And what's this firebase stuff and how do I fix it to see what these are??(3rd pic) And the OAuth to can use on google or a work profile?? I've been researching it and came across something's I dont fully understand but it kinda makes sense as to what my whole problem is. Can anybody help me with some answers to my questions?? I'm going crazy over this damn thing... Believe me if what I think is going on is actually going on I'm gonna lose it.
Recovery and download mode are locked.
Both are restricted to basic uses.
Just hit it with a factory reset and it should go back to normal, otherwise, you're out of luck.

I followed 42turkeys' excellent How To Root and everything seemed to work as it should. I then used the ROM and root updates from andrewb84uk and they went on OK with no apparent problems. Andrewb84uk has since seemed to lose faith in his own ROMs, although other users, like me, are happy with what he's done. My phone seemed to be working fine, I can boot into recovery mode, and I really like some of the new features on 2.1.
So, my question is this; how can I tell that the root worked OK? I never really investigated the OS too much when it was running 1.5, so I'm not sure I'd spot too many of the subtle differences. Also, it is an updated OS, so any change I see may simply be an update rather than the result of root.
Does simply the fact that I can boot in recovery mode confirm that root is successful?
Go to the android market and type in Screenshot in search...
Download the app and see if it works...
If it does your rooted!
It it doesn't your not rooted!
See below...
It works! Many thanks...

Towards the end i got bored...
If you search in Androlib there's 27 pages of rooted stuff:
http://uk.androlib.com/r.aspx?r=rooted
So basically, this is the first time downloading apps off of the marketplace and this already occured... (image of problem attatched)

All of my downloads have been stuck like this for the past 2 hrs....
There is no way to cancel it or restart the download (tried everything such as long hold, tapping everything, etc.)
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem? I really want to avoid a hard reset
Yes restart your mobile and go to this link on your computer http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/howto/wp7/apps/delete-apps-and-games.aspx
If it works hit my thanks button.

Umm my point is that the app is just stuck there in downloads....it doesn't even install, so therefore there is no way to uninstall it
Usually when you have multipe downloads in queue, WP7 will just download and install 1 Application at a time.
I dont know why in your case its trying to install 3 apps at a time. Maybe thats what causing it to freeze.
Long hold on the app and clicking on Pause and then Resume should work. Else just try restarting your phone.

It looks like you tried to flash a phone.apk or a dialer app that isn't stock. You didn't say what phone version you have (your signature mentions GT-I9505?) This forum is for the I337 variants. My suggestion would be to try and find the same version of firmware / ROM that you are currently using and see if you can get the correct phone.apk or dialer apk out of it and try to restore that way. Depending on you phone model and firmware, you might be able to restore with a nandroid (if you have one). If your bootloader is locked you might need to restore via ODIN and the proper firmware. Most thing you do will run the risk of wiping your data and contacts so back everything up first before you try anything to be on the safe side. If you don't understand the things I mentioned or if you don't know where to find something I suggest you use the forum's search function to find the information and tools you need. Good luck.

see two symbols of battery, you were trying or tried to do for that to happen, and if you can tell the model of your phone, greetings
Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!
Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.
I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers

Hi guys.
I'm new to the Samsung Tab A community. I recently purchased a Samsung Tab A 7.0 - Volte enable tab. As usual samsung has loaded it with too much junk. I would like to either de-bloat the current OS. Or would like to flash a custom rom. I tried a bit of searching and found a few threads about roms. But i am not able find any proper link to flashing process, roms and recovery. Please help me in this regard.
Excuse me if I am re-posting. Thanks guys.
Me too debloatware my TabA
Dont get your hopes uo i havent found anything, just been looking as well. It would be good to get rid of some of the bloatware on here considering the memory available.
I think there were a few i found a while back which i have mosplaced but never got around to installing.
Im not sure but i think i found them on pirate bay which is probably why i was hesitant to install considering sites like that and its users and tapped into every back door there is out there.
Im thinking root the phone then manually delete system files like kids mode and samsung internet and a few other apps built in.
One thing to keep in mind is there are some files which the OS needs so back up, remove, test back up, remove, test and so on.
That way you can roll back to previous versions.
I dont think many people do it because of the headaches. There is no majic button to do it auto in 2 minues. Even developers hesitate.
If a smart phone dies is it bricked? Those were the old blocky phones right? Now a brick. Now a frisbee.
