I recently had my phone disappear and reappear 3 days later while in hospital and when I found it back in my bag, it was NOT the same. It now has a double screen sometimes. It also does not follow the normal routes when try to use settings or download from playstore. There are alot of strange things I'm seeing in settings that were never there before and I don't know how to get the hackers out of phone once and for all and get my life back. Can anyone PLEASE help me, I am at my wits end. I'm disabled and rely on my phone for alot. I don't have a computer so if there is a way to figure this out with the hacked phone or I also have tablet but I think they have synced my stuff to some other phone or computer they have. They reroute my calls and stop texts and emails from being sent. It's ruining my life on a daily. It's been 2 wks and each day, they r deeper and deeper into my stuff n life. Help please??? I don't know if I'll b able to even get back to this site or page so if you have a way to help me, please put here and if don't mind, send to my email at [email protected] so that I will definitely get it. Btw, that is my new email...I'm afraid to even sign into anything else on this phone. No matter what I try to do, they seem beat me to it. Hope someone can help me. I have Metro and Alcatel. I'm posting this July 2021 in case gets buried in posts. Really would appreciate help. Can't get around, stuck where I am and only have these 2 devices on same carrier. Hope someone has some good advice/help for me. Thanks so much. Hackedchick2021

ehhhhhhhhh,
kinda scary if i thought
wouldnt want that to happen to me
hmm
can you check the recovery and bootloader of your phone?
Check your Google account to see if any unauthorized devices accessed it.
Have the firmware reflashed at a repair center. Then change your Google password and any other passwords that were on it.
Be wary of any data saved from that phone before the firmware flash which will completely wipe it. Best to not use any data or especially files saved from that phone once newly flashed.
You should always redundantly backup critical data from the phone for this and other misfortunes that can happen.

XD lol people are ignorant nowadays lol,
I backup with pitchblack frequently for a reason.
All the better for keeping ur bootloader locked after installing what u want
But let him check his own bootloader and recovery, if they installed a custom one he could just do it himself if he wanted
i wonder why a hacker would risk that when there is the zero day exploit and stuff and plus mediatek and the mail gpu have root exploits lol
(why i like using qualcomm)

Ok guys, yes...I'm a noob...
I did a master reset on the phone and now I get nothing...
It won't turn on unless I plug it in to the charger.
When it does turn on, all I get is a few vibrations, and
the icons at the bottom light up.
I can get windows to see the two "drives" of the phone,
but they are empty (have 0 bytes if you right click and check properties. If you left click, it says please insert disc).
I've tried a new battery and my battery turns another phone on...
I've also tried two cables and two PCs.
It hasn't been rooted or messed with, the battery died and I went to charge
it and nothing...I left it on charge overnight and at least see a bit life.
Any ideas, or should I just send it on to HTC??
So that others have a better idea... can you get into hboot or fastboot?
try a nwe battery

he said he already tried a new charged battery, so it can't be that. I'm thinking his phone's OS might be gone so he should probably installed a RUU or something.
In the dark...
Can't see anything come up on screen...
no idea what mode it's in, hboot, fastboot or anything ??!?!!
Think it might be possible to install just a stock (Tmobile) RUU?? If so, how ?????

There isn't a way if your phone isn't detected or you can't get into hboot. Meaning you have no control over your phone to do anything.
Anyways, for htc warranty exchanges that is done with tmobile... they usually send you the phone first and then you send one back in return. Unless your policy is different. So i suggest you calling them immediately.
Update
I can go into control panel and "see" the phone listed in device manager under portable devices as "F" and "G". Click properties and they are found as HTC devices. Does this mean I can do anything to it? I just want my phone back working as fast as I can. Sending it in will take a while. I bought this phone for the camera. We have a 1 yr old and don't wanna miss the Christmas pics...

are you on tmobile? they usually send within 2 days, their distribution center is in texas or something. I usually get it next day.
You said your screen doesn't turn on or doesn't show anything. It's gonna be hard to determine what you're doing even if you can run ADB to put it in oem fastboot and to flash a RUU that way. But it sounds like your display might be a problem too then. It'll be quicker to do an exchange. If you call in today, they'll probably ship it on monday and you'll get it wednesday latest. unless you have tmobile insurance plan. it should be next day and you'll get it tuesday.
Thanks
Well that might work for me then...can't hurt to give it a try.
Thanks a bunch for letting me know !!!
No problem, I had my fair share dealing with tmobile exchanges lol.
If you purchased directly from tmobile it should be very easy to do an exchange because your warranty is verified.
If you bought it off craigslist/ebay. sometimes the previous users used a different carriers that makes the warranty no longer verified. HOWEVER many customer reps will still try to process the exchange (you can determine by their upbeat personalities lol).
If you run into someone who won't do it, just call again and talk to another rep. Most of the time they will push it through because it's still a newly released phone.
Have you already contacted T-Mobile support? You'll have to talk to them anyway before they agree to replace your phone.
The reason I am asking this is because there might be an unpublished backdoor way to restore your device if your device is not completely (hardware-wise) dead. For example, Dell Streak has a complete firmware image on its internal SD card and you needed to somehow trigger an IPL routine to restore the device to its original condition.
I haven't heard of anything similar on HTC devices yet, but hey, it's just a thought. And if there actually is a way, and you are the first one to post it here, you'll be a hero!

yeah we normally just flash a RUU, but you can't even see the screen, so we can't even be certain that we're in the correct modes to be flashing and stuff. because we require to ADB it to restart in fastboot, but we can't even see if its going to fastboot. or if it already is in fastboot to begin with, so we're not certain which commands to run with the screen being off. Well you can always try commands and it should only work in certain modes, but do you really want to do it blindly? I would rather just exchange the thing.
Not afraid to try....
Well, I can't use it as it is...exchange is a hassle even in 2-3 days. Can't do anything until tomorrow anyway. I was thinking today, I've heard they can port Android to iPhone...there's no fastboot there, is there ??? Soooooo, if it's turning on, I should be able to do something...I want my phone back !!!

Good day,
Noobie doesn't begin to describe me. I just want to stop these update notifications on my phone and I've been trying for over a month with different instructions which usually ends when what I'm looking for isn't in the place where the directions said it was.
So five months ago I bought a rooted Galaxy S3 4.1.1 off eBay that I use on Boost mobile network. It was working when I got it in the mail and it still works great. Tried to contact the person I purchased it from but no reply. I like the phone the way it is, not trying to do anything fancy. Can someone please just lay out in simple (idiot) steps what I need to do to stop the update notifications that would be great? Thanks.

Anyway refer to that thread as one posted suggested accept the update and it will fail and let you live without the constant update pop ups, there's other fixes for it as well if that doesn't do the trick.

Should be fine bud, if you're rooted just make a backup first just in case... to get rid of the notification yourself (if you're rooted) just use a root explorer and navigate to system, look for a file called build.prop and edit it to reflect the new update... so if on mb1 change every instance of mb1 to mc3, save reboot to recovery, clear caches and reboot... if not rooted, nothing you can do about it unless you accept the ota update

From what I read it sounds safe to do, but honestly I'm even a bit iffy on it, most of the info is at least a few weeks old if not more. My guess is it will work and you'll be updated with more features than you have now, just afraid it could break something, like mms or voice mail.
In the boost mobile thread over in the sprint gs3 general section it looks like alpineman might be the best one to answer all the ins and out of this or perhaps others in that thread.

I think I've bricked my device, somehow lost IMEI and put phone into factory mode, wifi doesn't work, the same goes for mobile networking. I restored original system. The phone boots just fine, all the apps work as they should except those that need internet connection. I'd like to give it back to where I bought it from but in Odin mode you can see that the custom binary download is yes (10 counts). In other words I'd appreciate it if you told me what to do to return the device and get it fixed or replaced. In order to reset the counter I tried to run triangle away but after running the app I'm told to download additional data which I can't do because wi-fi doesn't work. The phone is in factory mode and I have no idea how to switch it to user mode. I'm so hopeless that I even started considering microwaving it. Thank you for any input.

I assume that it's hard bricked because I've tried pretty much everything and the phone is still in factory mode, IMEI is unknown, wi-fi and mobile networking don't work. I figured that the only thing left is to give it back and that's why I want to reset the counter. When I run your triangle away it says: "Triangle Away requires an add-on to be able to work on this device. Do you want to download and install this add-on?" I'd love to do that but it's not possible in my device's condition. Thank you for the input.

After scouring for two days I am just giving up and asking for help. Here is what happened. I have a At&t Galaxy Note. It was rooted but very glitchy. Kept shutting off, weird lines going through the screen, my camera didnt work. I know for that process I did TWRP and cyanogenmod. I went back to att stock from a forum found here. After I did that I had no google apps anywhere. SO my brother found some gapps.zip thing. He put it on my phone after I had restored back to a previous version that did have them. Now my phone wont stay on for longer than a minute. I cant get it to recognize on my computer. So I cant even try to get into it to see if I can fix anything. Everytime I conntect it, a message pops up that says that it cannot install MTP... Even if I restore again, as I have tried. It is still not letting me use it. Then my brother decided to re root it I guess. And that is all well and fine but i still cant use my phone. I saw something about a .zip that removes gapps but I havent been able to use that as my phone just wont install it in recovery mode. Can someone please please help me!!!!

wow. the first few sentences were making sense, then you just lost it grammar wise and lost me. it would have helped knowing what ROM was on your phone. from symptoms it sounds as if t was a 4.2 ROM with no GAPPS and some serious OC/UV issues.
but you lost me with your English and the "TWRP and CYANOGENMOD thingy" i know what they are obviously, but what you did with them is a HUGE guessing game. one person not knowing what they are doing is bad enough, but two of you.......... cant do that man. kind of like masturbating with someone elses hand man. who cleans up the mess.
absolute clean slate is going to be you best option in my opinion. the "Super Everything Thread" is going to be your new best friend.
read it, live it, learn it......................understand it. put yourself in position to help yourself first.
tutorals on YOUTUBE can help too.
can you get DOWNLOAD MODE?
do you have ODIN?
do you have PDA/ TAR files you need?
you may need to re-install the DRIVERS for phone on computer
there is a glossary in Super thread, that is why i capped these words. key points and things you need to do. its a marathon not a sprint.
go slow, one step at time, understand what you are doing. even rehearse it, i did. be confident in what you are doing. make sure you have files for I717.
read the OP's for ROM's
some need GAPPS (4.2) and some don't (4.1.2) or Touchwiz
the new 4.3 will also need GAPPS and there are 4.2 and 4.3 GAPPS. again make sure you have right files. all the more reason to take your time.
and uh, don't just let someone flash whatever on your phone, that's how you get a BRICK.
good luck and let us know.
if i have stated anything wrong, someone else will be buy to correct.
nothing wrong with how i am telling, others just may have shortcuts.
what you do with it is up to you, i just like to understand what i am doing, cause i will have to fix it.
but keep us posted

Im sorry, Im just really frustrated. My phone was working fine yesterday and now its a very expensive paperweight. And not only that but Im having problems with my laptop. Apparently the hard drive just went clonkers for no reason and now I have to put in a new one. Yes I can get into download mode. Yes I have Odin. Yes I have the PDA/TAR files. I made sure everything was for the sgh i717. I read each process ten times before I did it. I installed my drivers from the Samsung website. I think my problem is that the internal sd card isnt being recognized. When I go into recovery mode, which is CMW btw, it gives me an eemc 07 error message and says it cant mount. When I can get my phone to stay on long enough for thecpu to recognize it it doesnt say sd card just phone memory. I will be sure to read the super everything thread. As for a ROM there isnt one on here. If I try to put one one it wont install and keeps saying that eemc 07 error message. Thanks for responding. Im spiraling in self-pity right now but im determined to get my phone back.
If you get it back to stock, do a complete erase/format, and your still having all these glitches, there's a good chance there's hardware issues. Especially if your not able to see the external SD card etc.
If your the original owner (I.E. you got it from a dealer with a plan), and you can get your counter reset to 0 on stock with these issues still showing up, it might be easiest to take it in and get a replacement. That is, if you have a warranty option available.

Its not the external sd but the internal one. Its just gone... I know that this is the problem at this point. But I have no idea how to resolve that issue. I have no idea where it is or how to get it back. I have been on xda and droidforums for an extreme amount of time trying to find a solution but nothing going. The only way I have seen to reset my counter is to use triangle away. As I cannot even use my phone due to freezing and restarting I cannot even install that app. I am hoping that one person in the wide world has had this problem and fixed it and will read this and tell me how to fix it.
Status 7 means you need to update you recovery

Thanks for all the help. Took it it AT&T. Now my phone is working properly if a slight bit laggy. But at least its working.

so where are you at then?
what does your phone show as running?
settings/about phone
are you just going to leave it or are you still going to pursue customizing?

I'm running 4.1.2 now. I will not be customizing like that for some time. I might think about it later but I'm so glad to have it back I'm just going to enjoy it for awhile.

you know, something going wrong with mine was my biggest worry. when I decide to screw something up, I can really screw something up. so I was very hesitant. it probably took me 2-3 months to get the courage to flash. but that was most likely a good thing. it made me be very thorough in the process.
all I am saying is don't let it completely discourage you. you have time.
glad you got phone back, I know it can be a bit of a scary thing. I have come across an issue or two myself and actually surprised myself by fixing myself. actually a pretty good feeling.
anyway, stick around, there are some pretty amazing folks here.
