Hello. You may think the thread is revising some of those in this forum, but i browsed a lot couldnt find proper answer for my issue.
My galaxy C5000 running on Android 8.0 now. 2 years i have been using it upgrading periodically from android 6. i never had issues with finger print before. The phone never rooted.
few month ago upgraded to android 8.0 was working well then another update came by samsung saying some kind of security and other update patches so i did it. i guess after that my phone started indicating popups fingerprint sensor not responding if you see it repeatedly restart the phone. i did several times sometimes worked sometimes not. then i did firmware installation and reset via odin which downloaded samsung official site as i know. after it worked for some days but now not responding. now sometimes fingerprint starts working by itself and the stops again. i cannot identify whether its a phsyical damage or software problem. now the questions are:
1) is it a software or a hardware problem?
2) can it be related to last security update pach (with the volume of up to 200 mb) which was after android 8.0 installation?
3) can reverse back to android 7 from android 8?
Thank you for your patience and help.

I'm having a problem with my Samsung Galaxy 551 (a.k.a. callisto i5510L). Sometimes when I RECEIVE (and so far only when receiving) a call, if the other person hungs up and the screen is still locked (from the proximity sensor since the phone is next to my head when I'm talking) it never ever unlocks again. In fact it doesn't even react to any button and I can't even turn off the phone. Only thing that works is removing and reinserting the battery and then turning on the phone again. It's a very tedious process and it happens pretty often, every couple of days or so. I took the phone to service and they replaced it with a new one but it does exactly the same so I figure is a general issue among this model.
I haven't been succesful in finding this issue on the internet so I'm assuming it has something to do with the operator's modifications of the system.
So the question is: Has anyone else had this problem? If so, has anyone found a workaround, a patch or received a proper answer from the service about how or when it wil be fixed?
Today I got from the service that it was a software problem to be corrected via update, but they didn't know what was exactly the problem or when the update will happen so I don't believe them much...
A little technical info about the phone:
As said it has stock ROM from the operator CLARO Argentina and the firmware versions, according to KIES are:
PDA:JK3 / PHONE:JK3 / CSC:JK2 (CTI)
And according to the phone about menu:
Model: GT-I5510L
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband: I5510LVCJK3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #1
Compilation: FROYO.VCJK3
Try install lastest rom from samfirmware.com
You need to register there.

Thanks for answering so soon and for the advice. I searched through their website but unfortunately they have only firmwares for the GT-I5510 and my device is GT-I5510L dunno, what's exactly the difference but even in samsung's open source website both devices have separate sections so I'm guessing there's a difference in hardware too.
I sent my phone for repair today, but perhaps I just have to wait for an official samsung update.
And I haven't found more people with this problem as often as it happens to me so perhaps I'm just really really REALLY unlucky and just got two faulty phones in a row. Maybe third time's the charm...
Now there is only 1 file diffrent, connected with the language.
hello,
Galaxy 551 is my wife's phone and she has the exact same problem.
After a call, screen turns off and the phone totally locks. Nothing can be done except taking out battery and turning the phone on again. I've noticed it happends on both outgoing and incoming calls.
Did you find other solution than flashing other rom? It's not my phone and don't want to mess with it.
Detailed phone info:
GT-I5510
Android 2.2
Radio: I5510XWKD1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 - perf
number of compilation: FROYO.XWKD4
No, sorry. The only solution I found was taking it to service several times until they agreed to change it for a different model. Because all GT-I5510 that they kept giving me had the same problem.
hi. im ador eligio. from philippines. I have a very big problem with my samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n9005 jetblack 32gb. I just purchased this smart phone last august 11, 2014. at first, the phone seems to function well. And just 2 days ago I found out that the maps application is not accurate, cant get a lock to its gps signal. If i turn on its wifi and GPS and accessed the maps application , the application points my location to POLAND. It always points there to that country. the only remedy that I found out is to restart or reboot the phone. and after a reboot it functions normal again and after 5mins of using maps it will point me again to POLAND. the GN3 sm-n9005 is ANDROID 4.4.3 KITKAT out of the box baseband version is N9005ZHUENA6. yesterday I decided to download the official firmware 4.4.2 (philippines) to downgrade my note3 because of that annoying maps application thats not fucntioning well. i used odin3 v3.07 but came out an error while flashing. now im stucked up in the screen "FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. as i have read the forums they term it as SOFT BRICK. Ive tried different solutions and remedy to get back my note3 functioning again. but still no luck. PLS HELP ME. U CAN EMAIL YOUR SOLUTION TO THIS ADD. [email protected]. Thanks in Advance.
Google has issued a brand new Android 5.1.1 Factory Image file that should patch the StageFright Security bug forever. If you want to install a clean Lollipop OS on your tablet, then you should check all the info listed in this post.
The StageFright Security bug should’ve been fixed with the previous LMY48I Android 5.1.1 release, but that didn’t happen as tons of Nexus 10 users have reported that the security vulnerability was still there. If you want to be sure that this bug is fixed, then you should flash the latest LMY48M firmware version of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS on your tablet.
Installing a factory image on your will always remove all the data from your tablet and you should create backups before starting the flashing process. Read the following guidelines first:
use this post only with the Google Nexus 10 tablets.
– don’t try to update any other different tablets with the files that you will find in this post.
by installing this Android 5.1.1 LMY48M factory image you should know that the flashing process will remove all data from it.
– however, if your tablet is running a stock Android 5.1.1 LMY48I build that hasn’t been modified in any way, then you can use a small workaround in order to avoid the ‘factory reset’.
– more info on the update workaround can be found when you reach the tutorial instructions.
backup all the important files before starting the installation process.
enable USB Debugging for your tablet from its Developer Options menu.
– if you can’t find Developer Options under Settings menu, then you should enable it first: go to Settings> About Phone and tap 7 times on the Build Number section.
– return to Settings, scroll down, open Developer Options and find the USB Debugging option in order to enable it.
use this post only if you are an advanced user.
we cannot be blamed in case you end up losing any data in the process nor in case you brick your device.
check your Nexus 10 battery charge level and make sure that it is over 40%, it will prevent your device from powering down during installation.
read the whole tutorial and make sure that you won’t be skipping any steps, so that you will be able to complete the factory image installation at your first attempt.
I've used three different browsers to read this page in case I have some sort of content blocker active, and I see no tutorial in any of them...?
It's always nice to see people trying to help, and notifications of new ROMs are always welcome (though I installed LMY48M weeks ago), but there are already hundreds of tutorials showing how to upgrade a ROM - maybe you decided not to go ahead with the rest of your post?
With latest update 5.1.1 LMY48T my tablet powering OFF randomly. I had naver this issue before on 5.0.2 (( This update is piece of crap in my opinion

I've had the same problem, plus now I have battery issues. The tablet won't fully charge and will randomly turn off after some unknown time of use.
This update has killed my battery.
Beware of this update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT TOTALLY SCREWS YOUR NEXUS 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´m reverting back to LMY47V because the newer updates are bricking my Nexus 10! I have flashed and reinstalled it 10 times by now, it just can´t handle this update! I think they did it for you to buy a new Nexus device by killing the Nexus 10!

Are you referring to build lmy48m or lmy48t?
I can't get to flash anything. Even after flashing another version, the old version just stays. I've tried everything. Formatting, erasing, downgrading, nothing works. I think my Nexus 10 is officially dead. It will boot up and like 1 minute after it just crashes and reboots again. I have read that others have this problem, could be that the motherboard is shot. Since there are no motherboards available, I can't even repair it. It lasted exactly 2 years, what a waste!
Well I just spent hours going through all the ota update from original jelly bean that it came with up to the latest lollipop build lmy48t and everything is working fine thus far.
Hi, this is my first time posting on xda forum, so if my post has some problems, I'd be delighted to correct.
So, I bought the Huawei Honor Pad 2 tablet about a year ago, and about last month it asked me to upgrade the system, and after the upgradation, the wifi icon becomes greyed out and I'm unable to turn it on. I tried to factory reset and wipe its cache partition but still no luck.
I dont know whether to flash its firmware would solve the problem but a few sites I stumbled upon, none of the links works(e.g. huawei-firmware rom links for my tablet model number don't work)
Some searches suggested it could be my hardwares malfunctioning, but since the wlan option greyed out problem only occurred immediately after the system update, I wonder if reflashing a new rom would work.
So I have run out of ideas, also I could not find honor pad 2 on the official huawei website, nor on xda forum, it mostly gives me mediapad as a result, but they seem different on pictures.
And some specs about my tablet:
Model: JDN-W09
Build Number: JDN-W09C233B023
EMUI Version: 4.0.3 (can't remember the original version but this is the one I got after that horrible system update)
Any helps are greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I had the same update,and we have the same specs,but tell me please how did you manage to get google play and all other google things to work?Maybe its because you are rooted?
It seems we are the only ones that we have this tablet,cos i can't find anything about rooting it or solve the google play problem without rooting.The worst thing is that nobodys bothering to make a post about it cos maybe the tab had been bought by a few people.
I don't have your problem,mine is working ok but my problem is way greater.I have done cache clears,download and intstall google services several times and some other tricks that i found on the net but nothing seems to work.
One click rooting methods:none of them work!
The οnly sure thing that we both need is a guide of how we are going to update the firmware to an earlier version(stock firmware)
Here on XDA i found only guides for phones of honor or tabs like media pad m2 that they seem to be similar but yet...i'm not sure.
I hope someone will take the time to answer on your post and our problems with this awesome tab!
I have also upgraded my Honor Pad 2 JDN-AL00 model to EMUI 4.0.3 B023 latest firmware and faced similar issues of Google apps not able to run anymore. I have tried to rollback the update by reflashing with older firmware versions. The update process shows success but when I boot up the set it still shows B023.
After researching the net, I think the problem could be because the older firmwares found in huawei-firmware.com are all OTA which means they are incremental updates. To fully rollback to earlier versions, I think we need Full OTA firmware. So far the only one that I can find on the net is B018 version. It’s abt 1.7GB. I have not gotten down to test out my theory. If you’re keen you can give it a shot and let everyone here know if it works...
I recently updated my Boox Note 3 via the official path and since then the device crashes every 30s or so. I would love to just get back to the previous/original firmware but haven't found a way to do so. Are there any ADB commands to reset an Android device to an old firmware / original firmware? The device is not rooted.
Thank you!
According to their website there isn't updates yet to the Note 3. Contact support...
https://www.boox.com/downloads/#note-series
Well sadly my Boox Note 3 offered an update in settings which I installed after facing an issue with some of the rotations not working (when tapping the buttons). I was "upgraded" to 2020-11-10_10-38_3.0_ed12109/1223. I'm in touch with support however they have yet to offer anything that helps sadly :/.
All my research points to firmware reset on device not being possible without having the new firmware files sent from Boox. Hoping that will happen, otherwise this is a $550 eInk brick for now .
