I was out of town and ignoring the notification to install an att update. I was in and out of wifi at my hotel and I think it downloaded about 9% of the official update. When I got home and under reliable wifi I decided to do the update. When I came back to the phone about 10 min later i had a blue screen with the message System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone please take to nearest AT&T store. I called att they conference called with Samsung and sent me to ubreakifix to look at it. They were able to get in download mode and the knox wasn't tripped but it only said Official Samsung in one of the 2 places the tech said it should (i think the binary didn't say official Samsung but I only saw it briefly). I have only had this phone for 2 months. It is NOT rooted. It wouldn't go into recovery Any thoughts?

Man, talk about a bad situation. I would try itekimei .com. Buy the unlocked package for $30. He will be able to flash your factory firmware back to the way it was. Granted you can get into recovery and download modes.
I wouldn't turn to At&T for that type of help. Carriers are usually pretty stupid when it comes to stuff like this. At least with my experience with t-mobile for 17 years.
* I should add I recently used itekimei .com for two galaxy s9+'s with success for CDMA carriers, I.E. verizon. But part of that process is flashing back your original firmware, which should be no problem for AT&T and t-mobile. They have access to the actual Samsung tools, they can do just about anything when it comes to flashing firmware. Which in your case, sounds like your best alternative.
I took it to the ubreakifix (authorized Samsung repair) They said they were going to call Samsung, if they gave them the go ahead it will be fixed under warranty, which it should in the first place, or they'd charge me $40 to flash back to factory.

And Itekimei will do it for $30, plus it will be carrier unlocked if you ever needed that. But he does the same process in the end, flashes back your factory firmware. So six one, half a dozen another. But with samsung, I don't think they will leave you carrier unlocked after they reflash your firmware.
But your right, it should be fixed under warranty. If that's an option for you that you want to take, then take it. I don't know how long they will take, the guy at itek takes about an hour to do the process. They have access to the same tools samsung does to flash phones, at least they claimed to me.
Thanks for the info, that will definitely be plan B.

No problem, but yeah that sounds like your solution anyways, is to have someone flash back your firmware. That will solve your problem.
ubreakifix couldn't fix it, they called samsung and they claim I rooted it. I DID NOT ROOT. used the help of iTekIMEI and he tried to flash stock firmware, he was unable to get it going too. Called Samsung directly they want me to send it in for analysis, sounds like they don't believe me either about not rooting.

Hi everyone,
I recently began experiencing network issues on my Vibrant (would not work on 3G, only EDGE) which did not go away with any troubleshooting steps.
Yesterday, it crapped out completely and refused to connect to the network at all. No calls, no data, just a "Not Registered On Network" message. It wasn't the SIM card either.
I did a soft reset, hard reset, factory reset, and ended up flashing the latest Bionix rom (1.9?) with Voodoo and the whole deal. That still didn't work so I called T-mobile and requested they replace it under warranty.
So my questions are:
1) The phone is not only rooted, but flashed with Bionix 1.9 (JAC UV Voodoo). Will that cause problems with the warranty?
2) If yes, would flashing to a stock ROM fix that (disable Voodoo and restore from Odin)?
3) If the warranty is VOID, what will TMO do?
I asked the rep but she wasn't very helpful at all.
Thanks!
You coyld just delete everything on the phone all apk all apps and send it in all there going to so is reinstall there info when you send it back I don't think that they communicate with eachother about stuff like that if they did customer service would know more about flashing roms and actually be able to help more when something gos wrong other than a series of resets
The guy on the couch
I would flash it back to stock via odin... why take the risk they might say something. Its easy takes and takes next to no time to do.

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm going to do that. Does that clear root though?
@willsnews, I'll try that too. I don't want any trace of my stuff on the phone anyway.

ezspassov ... mind sharing the status of your replacement? my tmo samsung vibrant (18 days old) crapped out on the 12th within 24 hours of receiving the JI6 update from tmo. phone will no longer boot. got it to boot a couple of times but all the apps force close even after a user data wipe (guessing it's a hardware problem). tmo was to express ship out a replacement but today the order status was changed to BACKORDERED! did you get your phone or is it also backordered?

Yes, flashing the stock rom through odin will remove any system traces of root. On the other hand, make sure your smart and delete any evidence manually through the file manager on your internal and external sd card. For example: Don't leave a bunch of zip files lying around named "Root", "Bionix rom", etc....Be smart...

That's crazy because I am having the same issue actually. I had to order a new one.
Anyway, the loyalty rep assured me it would be easier for me to just do a warranty exchange (and assured me it would be brand new, which I doubt very much but eh whatever) instead of of sending back this one and doing a whole new order and waiting long times for my account to be credited and all this crap.... anyway I went along with it. Well I called today to get the tracking number cause she told me to and found out it was on backorder. Hoping it isn't on backorder for to long cause I want to get to enjoy my phone fully.
I asked if I could just send this phone back, they could cancel the exchange, and then place a new order (the backorder is only for exchanges they told me) that way I know for sure I am receiving a new phone cause I am still under the 14 day buyers remorse period but after a 20 minute wait, yes 20 minutes, they came back and said they couldn't place the order at all (I was going to pay with my cc).
So I said eh whatever just go ahead with the exchange in hopes that it won't be to long before they come. I know the rep told me they've been on backorder since the 13th, smh.
So..
So what if I had flashed nero beta 2 and the phones rooted and not only can I not enter clockwork recovery anymore but my phone isn't recognized on the USB ports so I can't Odin back to stock. I get the "USB device not recognized" even though I've manually installed all samsung vibrant drivers. How would I go about erasing all the data now? Any help would be great cause I'm not sure what I can do with the phone now.
Hi,
I bought my vibrant in 04/09/2010 from an ebay store without any contract and it was unlcoked.
I would like to get my GPS fixed by either samsung or T-Mobile.
I already emailed the ebay store I bought it from and they said I could send the phone to samsung to get it fixed.
1. Do I have a warranty? Who is responsible for my phone right now? samsung or t-mobile?
2. What is the official rom version right now? KA5? where can I get a complete stock version of this rom, not deodexed, without root, somthing that I can send to the samsung service?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much
The T-Mobile Vibrant officially came out on 07/15/10, you got it in April?

AFAIK, neither samsung nor t-mobile actually fixed the GPS issues.
the closest thing we have to a fix is the JI6 firmware update (which managed to help only *some* phones) and the hardware mod that's a sticky on the general forums.
technically, you could go ahead and see if samsung could help you out but your warranty is voided if your phone is used outside of the US (so don't let them know that you have if you're not in the US)
i'm not sure, but i think the official stock rom out there right now is KA7.
if you're looking for a stock rom, check out the android dev section of the vibrant forums.
1. I'm using the international date format because i'm not from USA. The warranty is voided if i'm using the phone not in USA in a GSM network? can you show me on samsung's site where it is written?
In any case I have someone going to the USA in a couple of days so he can drop it at samsung's service and they don't have to know.
2. I saw in one of the forums, that any galaxy s phone (or one of the US variants) made after october had a hardware fix for the GPS, and I even saw people writing that T-Mobile replaced their phone because of the GPS problem. Can someone confirm this?
Thanks again for the help

If you are a T-mobile USA customer (which I am). I called Tmobile. And they are sending me a refurbished SAmsung Vibrant no questions asked because I told them I could not get a GPS lock and that my phone was made in August 2010 (before the Oct 2010 silent fix).
It's weird. Because I originally had a 06/2010 Vibrant and GPS worked flawlessly. Never had any issues. I sold it in December. I repurchased another Vibrant (made in 08/2010) and that Vibrant had major GPS issues.
Either way, Tmobile is sending me another Vibrant. Took a 5 minute phone call. You have to be a Tmobile customer.
Yeah call t-mobile that's what I'm doing couldn't get home in the snow storm because it would lock then throw me somewhere else

I'm not a T-Mobile customer, i'm not from USA.
Do you think that T-Mobile will help me anyway?
Can someone confirm that the official rom is KA7 and not KA5 or KA6?
TMobile will not help you. You will have to try Samsung directly. Official ROM is KA6.

Samsung and T-Mobile never made any hardware changes to the GPS, despite some people on xda falsely claiming that Vibrants produced on/after Nov 2010 have new GPS hardware.
If you wan't to fix your GPS do the following steps.
1) Odin back to JFD
2) Completely wipe your phone. Format and do a factory reset by going to dialer then dial in *2767*3855#. This will format your phone and do a factory reset, so you will lose all data
3) Use kies mini to update to official KA6.
4) Then just for fun do one more format and factory reset by dialing
*2767*3855#
5) Now with your fresh stock phone, try the gps. Download GPS test from market and see how many sats it sees and locks onto. Chances are it will lock onto zero. It is ok, go back to Google Maps and leave it open for like 15 mins. Let the GPS keep searching. Eventually it will see sats and lock on. Go back to GPS test now you should see the GPS locking onto several sats. Your accuracy should be within 17-50ft, which is the best you can get with this piece of sh*t GPS.
6) After doing all the steps above, you can also optionally download "gps restore" from market, and run that while standing outside.
6) DONT MESS AROUND WITH LBS MODE, no matter what people here say.
I need some advice please.
When I received my SGS2, it had a couple of problems. A few of the games I played made the screen freeze and the 3g keeps dropping out even though my Nexus One with the same sim holds a strong signal. I contacted the suppliers and they were able to offer me an exchange, so they are going to send me a new phone and take the defective one back (courier will do the swap-over). Thinking that I was getting a new phone, I thought I would root the one I have as a practice. I have also downloaded the rom that gets rid of the triangle.
My questions are:-
Where can I find the binary counter, I have gone into download mode and cannot see where it tells me how many roms I have downloaded.
Secondly I have ordered a USB jig from DH2311 but I know he has been snowed under with orders and I dont think I will get it in time, as the phone exchange is happening on Tuesday.
When I first reported the fault the phone company said that due to zero stock, I would have to wait for upto 5 weeks for a new one, instead it is now coming after just over a week.
So will the phone company check to see if I have rooted even though I will already have the new replacement and will they try and charge me for the second phone through my phone account as it was rooted.
Thanks for any advice.

Thats up to them and yes rooting invalidates warranty .
You can search for the Samsung Rooting post to service centres to confirm .

I went to update the S6 Edge + with an OTA update.
The update messed up and the phone reboots a few times then shows recovery mode.
ODIN recognizes the phone but it will not finish a firmware flash. It stops at NAND write start
The Samsung rep at Best Buy tried several times using the software he had available, but he was not able to get it working.
Any ideas?

True. They could see that KNOX isn't tripped so you couldn't have been trying to install a custom OS. If they don't replace it for free I'm going to be surprised.

Im currently on the phone with some foreign country. She keeps telling me that the warranty was up in November, so I had to pay the geek squad to fix it.
She then said I could walk in to the California or New Jersey repair location. I told her that walking 350 miles or 2500 miles was not an option. I asked where to send it and she repeated that I should just take it to the geek squad.
I had to tell her at least 6 times that after 8 hours in Best Buy, the Samsung rep gave up.
I asked for a supervisor and now Im waiting on hold.....
Samsung refused to replace or fix it.

I'm right there with you. My brother's phone failed the last OTA and his is out of warranty. They accused him of trying to root the phone - haha.
I don't mean to hijack your thread but I created a thread with a bit more of what I'm trying to do to remedy this situation - I'm seeking the latest update in which I can ODIN and see if that helps.
I'm looking for MMB29K.G928VVRS3BPL4 if anyone finds a copy.
I can't find it anywhere since it's so new and just went OTA.

Interesting. Good to know, regardless.
I can get to Download Mode, go to Smart Switch and try a recovery but I enter my model number (SM-G928V) and it accepts that... and then it won't accept ANYTHING for an S/N!
What'd you enter for an S/N? I'm not asking for your S/N specifically - I"m just wondering what Smart Switch is demanding.
NOTHING WORKS! I have the original packaging in front of me, I've tried every code on the damn box - I originally thought it was the IMEI but NOPE!
I don't get it! So frustrating! Does anyone think Smart Switch not accepting an S/N has anything to do with the Verizon rep taking my SIM card out of my phone and....keeping it? My brother went back to his old S4 while I tried to fix his S6. It used a different sized SIM card. The fking rep took the S6's SIM card out and kept the damn thing and then put a new SIM card in my brother's S4.
Is the S/N somehow tied to the SIM card and w/o the SIM card Smart Switch doesn't know what's up?
Anyone?

Of course they did. Anything to take the blame off of them. All the carrier can do is update carrier settings and that's it. There's no way the carrier is the one to blame since they have no access to the core system of Android, therefore the only person to blame is Samsung themselves.

Hi, so my I gave my S6 Edge to my dad.
Battery stopped charging so he gave it to a phone repair shop (lol idk why he didn't come to me, but nevermind.)
The guy at the store said he would change the battery, and see if that was a problem. Turns out that it would still cap at a certain percentage.
So he then claimed he would "change the motherboard." ..for £60, when the part alone is £60 on eBay? Is this a genuine fix?
After my dad gave in the phone, I googled the problems and they suggested cleaning the cache etc (may I add I wiped the phone like twice before.)
This is where it gets interesting. I know how to root and stuff. When the phone was given in, it had the stock Samsung Firmware installed. Now that I've gotten the phone back, it's come back with O2 apps installed. The guy at the shop did not install this himself as there is no Google account linked to the phone, so you can't get into the Play Store.
In addition to this, a SecurityLogAgent notif has come up. "Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device.."
Did this guy just flash an O2 version of Android 7.0?
Is there any way to view a log of what was done to the phone's software?
He's giving me a 'week' to see if there aren't any problems.
*edit* - so I installed an APK that outlines the phones info, and yeah he flashed an O2 variant lol.
The camera is not working so I'll be going back to sort that **** out
But is there any way at all to see if he changed the motherboard?

So you are correct, he will of just flashed an O2 firmware. Which I don't get why he would flash a carrier firmware when he could of flashed BTU, unlocked UK firmware.
As for security log agent notification, that usually appears after twrp/root. So chances are he has rooted or installed twrp on your phone and tripped Knox. Check download mode or the phone info app and check Knox status says 0x0. Seems like they guy doesn't really know what he's doing to be honest.

So you are correct, he will of just flashed an O2 firmware. Which I don't get why he would flash a carrier firmware when he could of flashed BTU, unlocked UK firmware.
As for security log agent notification, that usually appears after twrp/root. So chances are he has rooted or installed twrp on your phone and tripped Knox. Check download mode or the phone info app and check Knox status says 0x0. Seems like they guy doesn't really know what he's doing to be honest.

Thanks for the quick response.
I tripped Knox about a year ago, but then installed the official firmware and unrooted the phone.
Yeah, I figured. With the battery, I'll be using AccuBattery to see whether he actually changed it or not.
