If you have not preinstalled a trackingsoftware before, the "Plan B" postet above seems to be the only chance.
Or you have configured Samsung "Dive" before.

Install it anyway, the person who has the phone might use wifi and the app will install it self and work unless they wiped the phone and used their own google account.
the person who finds a phone ,will either sell it or wipe it full for the use,i gess the youtube videos of destroying phones ,some of them seems stollen

Hi
I forgot my pattern and my phone is locked now, and asking for gmail account details. I put my details in (with @gmail.com and without) but it doesn't work!
What should i do?!
thanks
It doesn't work? As in, you don't have internet on your phone? Is your phone rooted? The only thing I can think of is flashing a new firmware.

I do have internet on the phone. Its a known bug which have many solutions on the web but none of them works.. and no, my phone is not rooted.
I'm trying to find a solution without rooting or wiping data..
please help.. my phone is bricked..
bump
It's bricked now or are you trying to get attention? Just wipe it. It's an easy way out.
If all else fails, you could always contact a Samsung service centre, as long as you can provide proof of purchase I'm sure they should be able to unlock it.

I guess the "brick" have a different meaning for the two of us.
I didnt want to wipe it, its my sister's phone and she had important stuff.
Anyway, she found out she was trying the wrong username the whole time.

All of the dev forums (international and each variant) already have this, see here for example. I sense a "[READ THIRD]" should be appended to the title

the rep is not gonna be that smart to check, as long as you get a new one and walk out the door they cant say anything.
Smart enough to Post this in the right section, but not smart enough to not flash a ROM for a different phone from a different section of the forum...
YDI?
Take this as a learning experience and learn to READ THE POSTS/FORUM SECTION BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING that could potentially ruin your 500$+ smart phone?
I know they were working on a way to unbrick NA SGS 3's through the Toolkit, but i'm not sure how far they actually got with it.
You might be boned though....

Look in the device manager. Is it still showing as a phone or QHSUSB DLOAD? If its showing as that Odin will detect it but it won't talk to it. In other words consider that the kiss of death cuz its a paperweight. Based on the info providing u need JTAG. Or a return. Another one bites the dust.....

lol, I don't blame the carriers and manufacturers now. I see so many people who hack there device. Mess it up and feel its right to commit FRAUD. You know not to say you were hacking it and ruined it because you know its not covered. Another person who feels even though it was there fault for ruining there device, they should not pay to replace it.

Do they require data enabled on phone? If the thief rooted d phone will d app disappear and will not show location of d phone? Plz give suggestions wat to do?:crying:
Nothing you can do, report it stolen and get your network to block the IMEI number.

What do you expect. If this phone got stolen then I'm nearly 100% sure that thief already did a factory reset, or even wiped everything he could and loaded custom rom to "be sure". There's nothing else you can do.

blocking imei is the definitive solution.. and maybe the only one now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb you could try installing this, but if phone is cleared, then nothing you can do. Next time install cerberus as a system app, gives slightly more possibilities...

Your phone is gone. All you can do is make it harder for the thief to make money from it by getting the imei blocked. No app is going to save you. If it did find your phone and you got there really think about it. Good lesson to learn in life, watch your things.
I am sorry about your situation, but...
Guys I need help here. I just rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500), and it was fine for a few hours...but now it just wont turn off.
Even when the screen times out.
Even when I press the power button.
It will just stay on no matter what. (Interestingly, long pressing the power button does bring up the power dialogue!)
I did not flash any Custom ROM. I did not even install any recovery! The only tinkering I did was Setting cpu speed using Tasker...
Guys please help...I'm in trouble...
If the kernel you used is uncompatible or if its a stock kernel,you will get issues,also if you set the frequency to high for your phone,it will give issues,Look @ this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727171

Tried It All
I tried restarting the phone. Nothing happened. I removed the battery and re inserted. Nothing happened.
, I decided to factory reset. I lost root, but the kernel stuck...Aaaarrrggghhhh.
Problem still persisting.
Umm by battery pull, do you mean removing the battery while the phone is on?
(Update: Trying removing the battery while the phone was on...didn't help)
Thankfully, I've got the S View cover...So most of the screen is black, just the time, etc are on...
Further help...
Could anyone please give a link to the stock firmware for galaxy s4 i9500?
Like "you-get-your-warranty-back-and-you-are-allowed-to-install-OTA-updates" kind of firmware?
Like, if I flash it, I unroot my device, and it becomes like before?

My phone is factory unlocked. Here in India, people rarely buy phones with carriers.
Will the link next to "india" work? Or should i just take it to the service centre? (my phone isn't rooted, remember?)

If you had an EFS partition backup, you could possibly.
But I know TWRP recovery doesn't have that option in the M8.
I don't know if this is a limitation of the device, or the recovery.
That really needs to get added to twrp for this device. Saved my previous phone (e970) several times.

They can do it on the m7 as there is a guy on ebay that does it and he uses good imei numbers from the exact same model of phone, but he cant as of yet on the m7.

Yes it can be done with one second. But it against the xda forum rules to discuss imei thing here "I'm really sure it's not illegal to fix or change imei, but it was illegal to change the esn/meid for cdma" because it was used to clone devices esn and use other people's numbers. Unlike gsm.....

Yes its perfectly legal because its being done to bring your phone back to its original carrier. I have had people that do this sort of thing say it takes a couple hours just to do the old model htc one. So I dont understand how it could possibly be that easy unless there is software or equipment out to do it.
