It all started with problem updating prl and profile .. after contacting sprint they had me do ##72786# and it started the Hands Free Activation but it never completes.. I still have a fully functional phone everything works. Just very annoying the pop up every time phone is rebooted. I have odin the Nc5 tar several times also factory data reset and problem wont go away.. Sprint was little help. Just wondering if anyone had same issue and how to fix. The app that causes the Hands Free is Samsung DM Service.

Go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159 download the Galaxy tool app and install. Try clicking on restore via HFA ( hands free activation ) . If not solved, click on Preconfig choose your CSC ( customer Sales Code ) SPR then click install. BACKUP EVERYTHING TO PC FIRST !!! THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON THE DEVICE AND SDCARD !!! But this reset is as close as out of the box new I have been able to find.

Thanks but neither worked still trying to do Hands Free Activation... Samsung told me I could take it to bestbuy since they have a small samsung set up there. Maybe will have to send it in since still under warranty and my Knox is 0X0

Ok, sorry about that. Updating the PRL basically just resets your phone location in relation to the nearest cell towers. The profile is contacts and some basic settings with your gmail. What problem started after you updated them, before you entered the Sprint code? The only other thing I can think of is pull the battery for about 10 minutes, let the device completely power down. Meanwhile I will hunt through the boot up menu see if there is something there that needs to be reset.

I have SprintDM.apk. here is a link with your same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973449 as you read through posts #3-8 it appears the easy fix is to let it run all the way through activation process, OR change apk name to SprintDM.bak ( appears the best way ), OR delete the SprintDM.apk.

I had an issue with my phone recently where Hands Free Activation never occurred upon booting my phone, so Sprintzone wasn't loaded and I had a persistent "Preparing Network" notification in my statusbar. Data still worked, but was inconsistent. After days of searching I found something that worked for me. First I had to get the MSL for my phone, then enter into a phone mode through the calculator app, and then choose an option to reset the phone with the MSL code. It totally wiped my phone, but upon booting Hands Free Activation ran to completion, and all was well again.
I downloaded the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53725729&postcount=91 to get my MSL
Then went through these steps to get everything working from this thread https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/160050.
Not sure if this will fix your issue, but it worked for me. If you go through these steps make sure to backup all your important info.

You accessed that menu through the calculator app? Because I know when I tried it by typing in the dialer ##3282#, it gave me the same option, but didn't have the same result as entering those characters into the stock calculator app and then resetting from there with the MSL.

OK, lets try a different direction. My note 3 does not have a problem. On that assumption, something must have been changed in my copy of SprintDM.apk file when my phone completed activation, or it would keep trying to activate my device, make sense? Here is a link to a copy of my SprintDM.apk https://mega.co.nz/#!0JATFDCY!YHMzuWwwYswdv-WINQyjro2JErAFQDaTDr8MS1T3ifg Just download to your PC, and copy and paste to the internal sdcard, BUT FIRST use a root explorer type of file manager, copy and paste a copy of your original SprintDM.apk file to some place different than where you download my apk . In case this doesn't work you can always install the original file back.
Now using root explorer go to system/priv-app and delete your SprintDM.apk file, then copy and paste my Sprint.apk in its place. MAKE SURE you check permissions RW-R--R-- . Your almost done, now go to data scroll to delvik cache and delete it. OK power down your phone completely, wait a minute, WAIT FOR IT!!! Now reboot your device it will take a minute as Delvik cache has to rebuild its self.
Make sure checkbox for enable hfa is selected. This can cause it to fail as well.
Also you can go nc5 to nab. Just not back to mj4. There should be some threads about it somewhere, just not much reason to do so.

Thanks again idone. After all this time can it be this simple? Go to Galaxy Tools app (post #2) install, click on Samsung DM Manager, make sure Enable HFA is checked. (Mine is) then click on Restore via HFA. Power down the device completely, reboot, and let me know.

Did you try unchecking the HFA box, and powering the device down completely then reboot? Maybe that will stop it from trying to activate. If not did you try and replace the SprintDM.apk?

hey everyone! You know the Galaxy S2 has a hang-up menu after you are done with a call which gives you the option to message, call or video call the person you have just talked with. is there any way to disable this? I have searched everywhere for this and was wondering if it is possible to turn this off and go straight back to the home screen. I have provided a screenshot to further clarify. Thanks!

A factory reset wont take away root and wont wipe your internal-SD card so you dont need to pass it to your PC.It will only put your phone settings back to factory and hopefully get rid of the bug causing your problem.Also obviously wipes user data (accounts,contacts,e.t.c.)but not the SD card.When the phone reboots download titanium from the market again and dont forget to tick debugging mode again.Then you can restore.If your not sure how to restore in batch mode so as not to do it one app at a time let me know and ill tell you how

It a stock feature.Hard to get rid of it.Even custom ROMs have it.
Got a friend at work, and his kid managed to enter a usercode onto his SGS2. It´s his businesses phone with LOADS of meetings/notes/sms´s/photes (all on the phone, nothing saved to SD :/ )etc etc and he want to get his info back if possible.
USB debugging is NOT turned on.
vol+,home,power gets puts you on a enter password screen.
vol-,home,power puts you in download mode.
Is there anything that can be flashed via ODIN to get rid of the usercode WITHOUT loosing any info?
Just them him to take it into a Samsung service center proof of ownership may well be needed.
As i work in a phone/tv store we send in ~5-10/phones each day to service centers.
Not one time have the phone been "unlocked/reset" without it coming back factory reset
I´ll tell him to leave it be until monday, and if there´s no other way then flashing, well, suck for him....

Read in another thread to try a bunch of wrong passwords until it asks for a PUK then use that to unlock it (Call carrier for PUK)
Tell your "friend" to ask his "kid" for the code.
Does he have a backup of his EFS? If so you can flash via Odin any xxxEFSxxx.tar file and it will allow access to the phone, you can then backup whats needed and then restore the original EFS.

The kid is 3 years old, and his name is Emil. Just think for a second, if the phone where stolen or ill gotten, why go through this trouble?! The meetings, calander etc can be restored (with pain) but the photos etc cant be replaced! And as i do this, send phones to service, on a daylie basis i want to explorer any other options first as it will likely be wiped when it is returned!

Nothing saved on his part. Got NSPRO, z3x and SGTool and tried everything that i could think of with these tools, but as usb debbuging is off no codes could be read...
Thanks for the input, i´ll guess it will be a hail mary pass to send it in to Anovo, as the biggest servicecenter is called in Sweden.
What is a "usercode" to begin with if it's not the Pattern/PIN/Password lock?
Overcomming the Pattern/PIN/Password lock is rather easy, as Odia suggested, but you even can do it with custom kernel via root ADB in recovery, don't even need to flash a stock EFS, just delete all cryptoprop* files.

THAT sounds like the device encryption is enabled.
If that is really the case, there is nothing you can do without the password, as if you do the above, the password will be gone, but so is all the data as it can't be decrypted anymore.
0000 is always worth a try .
jje
Thanks for the info.
The phone was setup by a former IT guy at the company he works at. That would explain why it is encrypted, as my friend is not very tech savvy.
Unfortunately the guy now works abroad and they have not been able to reach him, and i guess that servicecenters wont reset it with content remaining to avoid potential problems with info coming into the wrong hands.
Thanks all for the replies!
It's impossible to reset it without loosing/wiping the data when not knowing the password - that's the idea when encrypting it
Has nothing to do with service centers "not wanting", it's just technically not possible.
I have an E970 which I have loved over the past 16 months. Love it. It's not rooted or modded in any way, but I had it set up real nice.
I was at the hospital emergency room yesterday visiting someone and had some time to kill, so I updated some apps that needed updating. I did this over LTE, not hospital WIFI. I mention this because of what happened next.
Last night I started getting an error message when I attempted to get into the settings: "unfortunately settings has stopped." Everything else looked normal at this point.
Of course, the first thing I did was reboot and there was no change.
So, I did a little research and the suggestion was:
1) something you installed or updated last messed it up, try uninstalling the updates.
2) try putting the phone into safe mode and see if it works.
So I uninstalled the apps I had updated while at the hospital. Swiftkey keyboard, Chrome, Dolphin, the MyAT&T app (never used), and some others. About 12 in all. No dice, settings was still not working.
So after another reboot, I put the phone into safe mode (which I didn't know existed on Android). It took a long time to reboot into safe mode, much longer than a normal reboot. Settings was still not working. Same errror. Thats when things got worse.
Rebooted back out of safe mode. It still took a long time to reboot. Now not only does settings not work, but now the notification area on the top of the screen is gone, the notiication shade is now gone, and long pressing home does not bring up task manager. I am able to get into the settings for the home screen and the lock screen via the menu key. I cannot access sound settings or wifi or anything else in settings. I also lost my wallpaper. The LG launcher was still working as was the LG lock screen. All else looks fine, my MMS, contacts, email, etc.
This morning, I tried rebooting again. Now the phone won't boot past the white AT&T logo after the animation and sound plays.
I tried removing the sim and the sd card. No change. No boot.
What the hell happened to my phone and what should I do?
At this point I realize I'm probably going to lose everything in my phone memory, and I'm at peace with that. I had my photos and media all on my SD card, but my contacts and my text messages from the last 16 months are going to be gone.
I am not versed in rooting or recovery, though I am actually very technical. I would appreciate any assistance anyone could give. Thank you.

Two option that I can think are a factory reset and restoring with a program named lgnpst.
Factory reset would be simplest if it works, but will definitely wipe your phone.
Using lgnpst usually doesn't wipe the phone. Let me know how you want to proceed.

First of all, thank you very much for replying!
LGNPST doesn't wipe the phone? Well, I'm all for that if it works. Boy, I thought for sure I was 100% going to lose everything. Now at least maybe there is a tiny chance of not losing everything.
I had joined the lg-optimus-g irc and user autoprime directed me to the guide there. I downloaded and installed tSilenzio's Automated LGNPST already. I was going to use it to flash the stock rom, but I didn't do that yet. Is that what you need me to do with LGNPST, flash the stock rom or does LGNPST have other options? Please let me know, I'll wait for your reply, sir!

I would use the stock firmware posted by g33k3r, it is a zip that contains a tot file which you rename to .bin for use with lgnpst. If afterwards you want to try custom ROMs we can go from there.

is there a way to use LGNPST to try to back up my phone book before I flash this?

I think i'm screwed.. I did the flash, it rebooted, but is stuck on white AT&T screen...
I think I have to do the factory reset.
well, that's it. did the factory reset. that worked.
>sigh<
the only stuff I wish I could have saved would have been the contacts and the text messages. They are gone now.
Thank you, adfurgerson, for the hand holding. I appreciate it!

Sorry I didn't reply back of was set for email alerts but they didn't come through. Your contacts don't sync to google.?
After installing this (don't install (download is fine) this unless you know what you're doing).
It then proceeded to reboot and now when i try switch it on the "Galaxy Note 3" stuff pops up, then it blinks and i can't turn it on without taking off the battery (then i get the white "galaxy note 3" screen as usual again".
I can only get into recovery mode and i really don't want to factory reset as i just went on holiday and didn't back-up my pics yet.

Well, if we had any clue what you were trying to do on which phone, providing help would probably be a bit easier.

Oops looks like the hyperlink didn't work.
I am too new to post links. Type www . datafilehost . com / d / 58831a1e without the spaces.
I granted it root access then my phone restarted, then the normal galaxy note 3 white text appeared but then the phone crashed.
I went into recovery mode, however now if i try go to recovery mode it simply restarts the phone one again then crashes.
I can't even reset it now since i can't get into recovery mode (this may be due to me (noob) accidentally pressing restart with ADP or something like that).
My phone is a galaxy note 3 (rooted with kingo root) SM-N9005 (got this mobile phone from a1 . net on a contract).

If you pirate, crap happens. Do not pirate.
Anyway, you should contact Chainfire because he is the creator of Chainfire3D. Don't know if he will help you because you pirated his application... :screwy:
Anyway, I will update this after I get his email. UPDATE: [email protected], send an email to that with the title "[root] Chainfire3D"
Sent from my stock, untouched Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on the xda-developers app

Looks like i learnt the hard way to not pirate. I usually pirate something i really like but as i am not 18 yet i can't pay for it.
On another note, is there any way to get into recovery mode as i screwed that up as well (read previous post).
Need to restore the phone via Odin and Download Mode.

It's ok to not be knowledgeable, but less ok to not even try to research the topic. It's not exactly a secret...

Make sure to grab the update for your region for best results.
*You don't need recovery for this and this will bring back the stock recovery as well.

I would recommend instead getting the OEM rom and following recovery procedure.

or search for your model number & carrier here:

Wrong.
Your link provides untrusted downloads from filesharing sites.
Mine is a trusted download directly from the manufacturer.

Ah, if you only knew what you were talking about...
Sammobile is not directly from Samsung / the manufacturer and they have used rapidgator as one of their upload sites along with terafile as their official uploads and most of the guides you find just link to those sites. Plus if you understand how Odin works, you know that it checks the md5 first to assure the file is not corrupted. That and the OP wanted instructions, which you didn't bother helping with either. We obviously have a different idea what "wrong" is, it would appear.
I bought a pre-owned swift2. The previous owner had a google account which he told me he had removed the phone from his account, but when I try to set the phone up it wants me to use a previously synced account and wont let mr do anything else or let me see any other screens. I have done a hard reset but no difference. can anyone help please.
so you can't get to do a factory reset? whenever i've had a new phone it asks to use a google account, copy from another phone or skip and start fresh. you don't have that option?
ask the previous owner to take the phone off his google account. if he still has it in his name it might cause problems.

I have done a hard reset then try to set up the phone by trying both copy data and set up as new ( I don't have a skip option on this screen) when I enter my details I get a message saying unable to sign in to the device due to an unknown error try another
e mail or try again in 24 hours. Do you think I am doing something wrong?
i'm not sure if it's your fault or not. possibly the original owner not cleared the phone, possibly the phone not done a factory reset. try to get into recovery mode to do a factory reset.

Thank you for this option. I am a complete novice to doing anything to the software on a phone so I am going to ask a silly question. Is this easy to do ?
