So I work for a sprint store. We had a guest put a passcode on our Note 8 display. Usually using the root menu and hard resetting the device would fix it, but the issue I'm running into is they just recently installed the retail mode on the device. My Samsung rep told me to put it in Odin mode, but he didn't tell me what to do from there. I'm hoping you could point me in the correct direction.
Read this.
Here's step by step instructions for the S8.
Just use the Note 8 ROM.

Good Afternoon,
This is my first time being an owner of an android device. I have had a iPhone since the iPhone 3.
I recently swopped my iPhone 4 for a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 on a local buy/sell site. It came with ICS 4.0.3 already installed. I have excited it was huge and awesome. Tried to make a call and well I got hear the person on the other side but all they could hear was static. I spoke to my mobile operator (by the way I live in South Africa) and my mobile operator MTN, said that ICS hasnt been launched on their system yet.
I thought my mic was faulty but all the voice commands and voice memos work fine.
So I phoned the guy I swopped my phone with and he pointed me to
androidadvices. com / samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-steps-install-gingerbread-236-xxkka-firmware/
and to use the following rom
hotfile. com / dl/141938899/4714c17/N7000XXLA3_N7000OXALA3_OXA.zip. html?expire=1
I followed the instructions on the site listed above and when I have run the process in Odin it gets stuck on the factory part.
The other thing is Kies doesn't see my Note when it is plugged it. And also I am unable to enter recovery mode.
I am at a loss as what to do now as the Note just says that i need to connect it in recovery but I can't do that as I have tried holding down the up volume key the home key and the power button and it does nothing.
Is there a way to check what my model number is of my Note without having to boot into a rom?
I heard about a method of install the rom as a image on the micro sd card but I dont know that method. It had some Egyptian name for the program that allowed you to do this but for the life of me I can't remember.
Please can you assist me in this matter as I am very sad and at a loss as what to do next to get a working phone again.
Hello
I just got a phone from a friend (Samsung Galaxy Note 5, SM-N920A) that was factory reset. I was wondering how to get through the FRP lock on the phone (asking to log in to an account that was previously synced on this device). I have tried SideSync and it did not work. I do not have an OTG cable either. I do not know what version Android it has but it is recent (5 or 6). I do not have the previous account information (my friend can't remember). I have tried using a hotspot and deactivating it at the right time and that did not work as well. I am open to any and all suggestions!
Thank you.

My garbage HTC went out on me and someone gave me a like new Galaxy Note 3. I discovered it's rooted...The person who gave it to me bought it from someone so she doesn't know anything about it. I have no idea how to utilize the root...it has King Superuser on it and I downloaded TWRP because of some research I did...but honestly I don't know how to even begin taking advantage of a rooted phone. There are two things I'd like to do: upgrade from 4.2 to at least 7 AND bypass ATT's bs tethering block. Can anyone please guide me through this step by step considering I'm a layman regarding such things? A reliable source for ROMs and how to flash? I'm guessing I don't have all the apps needed to achieve my desired OS upgrade. I greatly appreciate anyone's time on this. Thank you.
Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings, but you ain't gonna get there. Go back and do some basic research and you'll find that the Note 3 is very restricted concerning what you can do because of a feature called a locked bootloader. The best you're going to be able to do is load Lollipop, such as AllianceROM Ver. 12. Read, then reread this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778933 . If you see that if you already have TWRP installed the procedure is rather simple. First, insert a SDHC card in your PC and format it. Then download the SafeStrap files for the ROM onto the root of that SDHC card. Another file you might need is the NC2 firmware (in case you want to revert at a later date. Now, shut down the power to the Note 3 and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and boot into Recovery. Then do a complete backup onto the SDHC card. Next, do a complete factory reset and wipe. Now you're ready to go back to TWRP main menu and install the ROM file in the STOCK ROM sector. When the install completes reboot the Note 3 and let it run. You will have to enter all your configuration info (name, wifi config, account info, etc.). If you have any problems go back and re-read the instructions. Also, you can try different ROM files, the instructions are generally pretty similar. If you want pure AT&T ROM install the stock OC1 ROM files. Check back and let me know how it worked out for you.
I am sort of in the same boat, I just got a brand new out of the box Note 9 from Sprint, and saw in the hidtory log on the recovery menu that my "core" was swapped (? I think that is what was stated , and it said DEBUG so and so RETURN TO VENDOR IMMEDIATELY. My husband claims by disabling the bloatware it caused that. This is the 5th time it has happen since November. 2 with my Note8, twice with the temp prepaid phone, and now with my new Note9. The recovery screen to my galaxy's always read, no address, no device privapp_ATT . Again my husband said I must have "f-ed" up the phone once again. And XDA just brought up that my device is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note3. I know I did not do it, I am too scared to run anything that an possibly damage my phone... I just want to get my phone back to a Note9, and to find a way to keep my husband from changing it. ( I highly suspect he is into developing and made himself admin of the phones as well as our Google accounts). Is there anything I can possibly do??

Well... You seem rather confused about what your situation actually might be. Is the actual, physical device a Samsung Model SM-N900A (Note3 AT&T version) or a Note9?
If it is a Note9, try leaving a question in the Sprint Note9 forum.
If it is a Note3 go back to the main page and start reading up on how to reload the operating system.
Other than that, my suggestion would be to first, take the device back to where you bought it and find out in plain language what the core problem is. Second, ask is the device still under warranty and eligible for free or discounted repair. If the answer is yes, have the repairs made on the spot. If the answer is no, then Google a commercial repair center in your area and give them a call with the information you then have. Chances are they device is hosed as far as warranty, but you don't know until you ask.
Third thing is to lock down your device and do not relinquish the password to ANYONE.
Good luck.
OK so let me start from the beginning.
I Networked unlocked my At&t note 9.
put in a T Mobile sim put the unlock code in and everything went fine.
Today I had a friend that's been having a issue with her sprint s10 dropping calls.
so i put her chip in my note 9 make a test call and got a message about sprint activation. I ignored it shut the phone
off and when i rebooted with my at&t chip im still getting this omadm message from sprint and it tries to activate.
Tried several times downloaded Firmware for my note 9. used odin .
also booted to recovery deleted cache and the other setting to factory reset.
reboot and still get this message.
tried the following
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...move-sprint-omadm-notification-t3636264/page2
still nothing has removed this .rebooted several more times still same thing.
I check in about phone>status under brand says sprint (WTF) and username has some numbers with @hcm.sprintpcs.com

That didn't do anything either but thanks.
Weird. Have you tried letting it "activate" on sprint? I would try that. Then shut down phone, and restart with your sim.

I called samsung there sending me a replacement .
If anyone else has input on a solution, I would like to hear just to have the info. At least you're getting taken care of.

Sounds like your device may not have been unlocked properly...
Download phone.info app and screen shot the csc etc here.
Also put boot up with a t mobile sim and see what happens.

Yeah, Sprint's carrier apps need burned out with fire. In the G-pad their Chameleon was installed as something like com.lge.hiddenmenu, and it's job was using accessibility permissions to knock any menu they didn't want you touching into the background.. Sprint = Hitler.
Summary Issue: Starting in March 2022, some Samsung Galaxy S20 FE devices started having connectivity issues with carriers. This specifically impacted my phone, a US Cellular-branded phone S20 FE 5G. Specifically, this was a problem for the SM-G781U model number. At some point in March, a samsung update was released that created a bug/connectivity issue affiliated with making calls or connecting to the carrier data networks.
Resolution: This issue can be resolved by flashing stock Samsung Firmware to move you to the SM-G781U1 model number. You do not need to be rooted/have your bootloader unlocked.
Skills needed: low
Note: you will need a Windows computer w. admin privileges
Steps
Download Bifrost to download the official Samsung firmware. Model: SM-G781U1 Version: XAA (this is the carrier-non-specific version)
Download the patched version of Odin
Use Odin to flash SM-G781U1 firmware to the phone. You do not need a bootloader unlock (takes around 15 minutes)
Fixed.
this is the kind of post this forum doesn't have enough of.
Thanks! My parents have been going nuts with this over the weekend. They have an unlocked T-Mo version used on AT&T. My mom took it to a store today and the idiot blamed it on the ROM and tried to sell them new phones.
I'm going to send this to my dad and have them try. I'll report back.
Thanks!
How do you get it in to download mode? I've tried the methods I've found online, but I keep ending up at the recovery screen.
NM got it.
I got it into download mode and sent the files. Log shows two files it sent, then it's just sitting there. It's been almost 15 minutes and nothing's really happening. Did I do something wrong?
Wonder if it's a Windows 11 issue.
Hi I recently purchased a refurbished phone and it won't connect to the mobile data. The first one i had do this I sent back. But now the 2nd won't either. This one says the model # is SM-G781V. Does the instructions you posted work for this model or is there something else I have to do?
Sometimes quick fix is toggle airplane mode on and off. You can reset network settings. Also look up your providers APN settings and be sure you add them in your phone and select that one.

I already tried this but sadly it doesn't fix the problem
