Doesnt work. Same as the others. I always just get a fail message. At least this one didnt require a factory reset like the others… Idk what is happening. I did it before, But I cant remember what I did.
I followed the directions, now the phone screen is blank and the led light stays blue. What went wrong and how do I fix it?
Reboot into recovery and from there format the device and cache partition.
I have followed the instructions and I get a passed notice on ODIN but my phone is still not rooted. What else can I do?
