Hello, I was having issues with the fingerprint sensor so I tried to install the stock Rom using msm, tried again, about 5 times (all different versions). Now settings constantly crashes and I'm unable to unlock the bootloder due to having to update the device to unlock it again from the settings. Also wifi isn't working so even when I am able to get to the update screen I still am unable to fix it. Is there any solutions to this problem? Thank you
Used bluetooth tethering to update it, took a very long time but I am able to unlock the bootloader now

Hi all,
I have been searching and trying to mend this before posting here but have come to a dead end so need some more advice if possible.
My sister has the S2 and one day it just stopped receiving signal, she restarted the phone and it was asking for the network unlock pin! She got sent some new sims to try and none worked. She had googled around and see that people had success with rooting the device.
I tried this and got the unlock code from chainfire app and tried that but it didn't work. I thought I had unrooted it successfully but it appears not because when she sent it off it came back as warranty was void.
So far I have tried chainfire app to get the unlock, tried the other S2 unlock along with the GII_Repair app from market. None seemed to have worked and I was getting prompts. I flashed clockwork and then CyanogenMod nightly hoping that the factory reset and the modem driver change or something might get it working, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone else have any ideas of any possible next steps I can try?
Thank you
Rich

I've also ran into this issue. As you've tried, I've also tried reflashing the factory firmware via Odin, and rerooting it. Sometimes I could get signal, and the baseband is fine and sometimes the baseband is unknown. Coming back from the screen lock, the phone will have no signal.
I've tried everything from every forum on the web and still couldn't fine a solution. I've done a different SIM card as well and things still don't work. Also flashed multiple modems and still, connections just wasn't stable.
Afterwards, I gave up and exchanged it for a new one. Hopefully you can restore factory firmware and exchange the unit as I don't think anyone has solved this issue yet. Good luck and hopefully you find a way to fix this issue.
If you want to restore the factory firmware, you'll have to do a little searching on the web here, and look for factory firmware and flash it using Odin from either your computer or using the odin app.
Hey guys,
I've bought my MX4 Pro almost a year ago, but decided only now to ask for your help. Hope you'll be able to guide me to fixing the several problems i have.
First of all, phone came with Flyme 4.5.7I and right from the start there were some features not working. Most important, the fingerprint screen unlock isnt working. After capturing my fingerprint, when i try to enable it to unlock screen it just takes me back to the home screen.
Another issue is getting sometimes (it happens randomly) a no sim error. Sometimes restarting is enough, sometimes i need to take out the sim card and insert it back.
Ever since i've tried to update firmware, hoping it would solve my problems. Nothing has worked.
Dowloaded the update.zip (no matter which version) and placed it in root directory. When i try to open it with the document app i get two options, view and extract. Can't update. Also starting the phone using volume+ and power button (update screen) has always produced the same results: Firmware corrupt. Tried doing it with clearing data, without that, no difference. Tried with a .bin file, same thing.
As far as i know the bootloader is locked, and i remember checking if the device is properly rooted and IT IS NOT.
So, the more android savvy people here can help? I'm lost and i really enjoyed the phone so far, but i dont really know what to do from now on. Is it a faulty device? (This would be the worse, since the phone was bought from China).
I can provide any additional details if needed.
Thanks in advance
P.S. I remember trying every tutorial/solution out there, nothing has seemed to work. I also may be dumb, not sure.
I'm having trouble connecting to the mobile network after I, very stupidly, tried to install Magisk on my phone after rooting it using this method: "Root For The S7/S7 Edge Oreo Is Finally Here!!" (search this in the xda forums, I can't upload links yet)
After installing Magisk, I tried to boot and got this message on the screen that basically said I couldn't boot due to a change to the boot image. I fixed that by installing the "G930PVPU6CRE7_G930PSPT6CRE7_SPR" stock firmware from sammobile. After this is that the problem presented itself. I could boot again and everything was pretty much fine except I could not get the phone to connect to the Sprint network. I've wiped and flashed the phone several times, I have even downloaded the stock firmware from different sources and nothing. I also tried activating the phone through the setting with no success.
Somebody, please help me, I've spent my whole day on this and I am getting stressed out.
Hey everyone,
I decided to try and root my galaxy s5 g900v that no longer has active cell data to unlock the bootloader so that I could update it to a newer version of android (if I can get it to android 10 that would be great) and I followed the instructions to root the phone on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529 using the CID 15 method, and when I flashed the COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_25726 56_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file and rebooted my phone the wifi suddenly wouldn't authenticate anymore.
I've done it a few times and one of those times the wifi worked but I couldn't get the OS to update, the rest of the times the wifi didn't work (but I managed to update it to android 9 but I couldn't find a way to fix the wifi).
I've tried a factory reset a few times now and it still doesn't connect and I don't have a non-rooted version to restore too because the phone isn't really that important to me at this point since it's an old backup.
Does anyone have advice on how I can successfully root the phone and update it so that the wifi actually works?
Thanks in advanced
I used the original zui11.5 rom only because of the "position travel" app (I must be the only person in the world who used this, but had a reason) and to receive updates from the manufacturer. but I saw that the custom roms were well evolved and I decided to test
after unlocking the bootloader the android bootloader it brick and didn't start anymore, still managed to install twrp, however whenever i install a new rom, at the end of the process i need to mount the folders manually before restarting (so far without problems).
however when I try to enter a security password the following message appears: "screen lock was already changed try again with the new screen lock"
I've done everything including installing the original rom 11.5.381 by twrp but I still can't put the password
with the bootloader unlocked qpst also does not install any rom
I thought of installing some version of zui with android 9 to try to solve, but I didn't find any that install by twrp
has anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it?
Has anyone been able to figure out a way to use the screen lock again? I've been using no screen lock all this time, and now it's starting to affect me as some banking apps force me to use some screen lock
I currently use rom bliss but I can change it to whatever the blocking works
