Galaxy S5 :: Can't Get Update On Phone Because It Has Been Modified In Unauthorized Way?
Jul 23, 2015
I have tried un-mounting the SD card and restarting, deleting the cache in recovery mode and even a hard reset but it still says my phone is custom status. I have not rooted my phone and until now i have had no problem installing updates.
Keep getting error on my Samsung galaxy s6 " this phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked..... how can I fix this problem......
I have installed the latest PCC & SU in my laptop and connected my phone as per the instruction. When i click on the repair phone due to Battery Dained out quickly issue, the PCC or the SU is saying "Modified Software cant be repaired or updated".As per the given instruction in blog i have unlocked the Bootloader but didnt rooted my phone. I am not sure when i havent touched anything in my phone except the Bootloader, why PCC cant repair the phone keeping the bootloader unlocked or change the bootloader locked again to original Factory Settings?
Due to syncing glitches, I have ended up with many duplicate contacts that are not exactly the same. I cannot determine which ones to delete, because I cannot determine which version has the newest information. I do not want to carry around an extra several thousand inaccurate contacts on my iPhone and iPad. The original contacts database on my computer has diverged from my iPhone/iPad databases, so I can't necessarily go back to that one, again because I cannot determine which version is newer. Is there a way to get the modification date of a contact to show up?
I have an iPhone 3GS and sync it with Mac mini, OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).Â
If I enter an event repeating weekly in Calendar on the Mac and sync, it appears on the phone. If I then make a change in the wording of the event on the Mac, set it to apply to all future events and sync again, only the modified version appears on the Mac, but both versions appear on the phone. The modified version can be edited (and therefore, if necessary, deleted), but on the phone the out-of-date original version has no Edit button and cannot be removed from the phone.Â
I tried syncing with the Advanced/'Replace information on this iPhone' setting, but this did not remove the unwanted original version.Â
I'm having a strange problem with SMS on my M One 9. My phone suddenly started generating error messages about an outbound txt did not create. The message is:
122 Error Invalid Number
The number that the txt is trying to send to is +1121611611 (I believe country code 112 is Belarus).
Where this number came from nor did I create the message. Sounds like a hack. The message attempts to send itself periodically. I've tried deleting the whole thread but it comes back.
I have been getting an "unauthorized charger" message lately when attempting to charge my phone. I'm using the charger that came with the phone. This is the second time I've encountered this issue with the Entice W766 and am wondering just how common the problem is. The first time I encountered the problem was a few months after I bought the phone. My phone went from holding a charge for 3 or 4 days to holding a charge for less than 24 hours. Verizon was able to reproduce the message in their store and, in the end, I ended up with a replacement phone. Fast forward to today, over a year later, and I'm having the same problem all over again... unauthorized charger... phone not holding a charge after most charges. I seem to get a good charge about one out of five tries. It's all Motorola branded gear.Better yet, is there a fix for it that doesn't involve going to the Verizon store and begging for a new phone?
I have tried removing the contact (from both my and the remote contact's Skype), and I've readded from my N900 and asked for authorization, and its been accepted, but I still get the error message when I try and IM.
When the remote contact IMs me the message never turns up, but they don't get an error message.
I've also tried it the other way around, where we delete the contacts on each other's Skype, and then the remote contact has asked for authorization, and I've accepted on the N900 - but still the same message.
The remote user us on Windows 7, using Skype 4.2.0.169. It has worked previously, but all of a sudden, it stopped for no obvious reason. This is happening with two of my contacts, who are in two different locations on different versions of Windows. Oddly, Skype voice calls work okay!
My S6 is now on 5.0.2.The same version it was when I got the device. Whenever I try to search for an update, it says "latest version already installed". I tried connecting to smart switch on PC..still the same..my buddy who also owns an s6 here, has already received the 5.1.1 update.
I got the Lollipop update last night and my only complaint - thus far - is that *&$^%&% Flipboard has reappeared and I can't delete it,. The icon is on my Apps tray and if I grab it like I'd do with anything else there's no trashcan icon.
I decided to update my samsung s6 after the update thing had reminded me three times. But it won't stop going from the samsung screen, to the AT&T scree, to the optimizing apps screen, and loading maybe 12/65 apps, and then going black, and then back to the samsung screen. I don't know what to do, because it's been doing this over and over again for more than 5 minutes.
So I just got the Lollipop update this morning and I setup a pattern lock instead of my fingerprint, was working just fine. I was doing some things around the house with using Google Music All Access to listen to music, went to switch music and I cannot get into my phone, doesn't even register that I'm trying to put in a pattern.
This is not good, can't even get in my phone to call anyone. Nothing is recognizing my touch.
My S5 call waiting is strange! When a call comes in through call waiting, 2 things happen:
1. I cant pick up the new incoming call! After swiping it stays on call #1. And then
2. Whether I swipe for the new call or not, It will hang up both calls after 5 seconds!
I thought updating may work, but I continuously get a "check back later Update is unavailable"(my wording) message through my phone,or it wont allow me to update through the Verizon update fix while plugged into the pc.
Details: Its a Verizon phone on a Metro PCS Network, software g900vvru1ank2, android4.4.4
Occasionally when I attempt to make a phone call from either a contact, missed call, or the keypad the screen will flash like its attempting to call but it just goes straight back to whatever screen I had up. It doesn't even say call ended or call lost. Sometimes I have to click call 3-4 times before it goes through.I just cleared my cache and will see if it continues?
I know my way around PC hardware and OS's.My problem sarted when I went to the T-mobile update. Phone stuck on "downloading update...", blue text on white background. Unable to boot into recovery, but was able to get into download mode. I found the correct ICS firmware update .tar file, but Odin 1.85 will not work. It always sticks on Setup Connection. Others fixed this by using differnt USB port and/or cable. Tried all 10 USB ports, nada; don't have another cable, but I'm out to get one this morning. I assume if I can get to download mode I'm not totally bricked. Only way I can get into d/l mode is to remove the battery, otherwise phone just boots to white update screen.I'm looking at a $200 brick! Wonder if I should just walk in to a T-mobile outlet and demand a fix.
I got this phone as a gift, an SM-G920F. And it already has SuperSU in it when I got it. Which means it's already rooted if I'm not mistaken. I'm liking the phone and hoping to know more about it.
Anyway I discovered that you can only change the media volume with the rockers when a video or music is playing. And it defaults to ringtone otherwise. Same thing happens when the media pauses in the middle of playback. But I never change my ringtone volume. It's either on, off, or vibrate.
So I browsed the web for fixes. And found this app called Rocker Locker. I tried it but it was a huge battery drain, so it wasn't a permanent fix. I also found out that this behavior was changed in Marshmallow. Having the rockers change media volume by default.
Tried to check for OTA updates. But it said something about phone being modified. Which was lucky, because I've also read not to take OTA updates while rooted.
Long story short. How do I update from Lollipop to Marshmallow in a rooted phone?
I have been using Samsung phone series since long. I never faced ever any kind of difficulties to use other series of Samsung except Samsung S6....First of all there is no option to forward contact name and numbers through SMS. Second is all photos has been shifted from Phone Gallery to Google Gallery. Now I unable to add any photos in my contact numbers also I downloaded photo but did not find in the photo gallery.
Every single member of our family was awakened at 2 am last night when their phones were beeping about a system update. ALL of our phones were in "Do Not Disturb" mode with the only exclusion list being a couple family members' phone numbers. There is no option to block system update alerts in the middle of the night. There is no slider to select/deselect that. It seems like this would be a pretty basic option.
I've been told by a few users that once the Lollipop update was released on Rogers for the Galaxy S5, they have been prompted to de-encrypt their devices.if there is any way to circumvent this 'requirement'.
So after the update everything is appearing backwards on my screen. It's like looking at my phone in a mirror. Even my beautiful widgets clock is reading backwards...
