Im looking to get the IMEI off of a board i got delivered. but its FRP locked. there are no identifiers on the board itself, and the dial code *#06# doesnt work because emergency caller wont allow it.

Am i missing something as to where that should be recorded? i know iphones have the "i" at the bottom corner, but samsung doesnt appear to have it.

Here is what I have tried so far:

1. Re-seated the battery connector multiple times (it felt like it clicked in).

2. Tried Wireless PowerShare from another phone; the host phone says 'charging,' but the S7 shows no signs of life.

3. Attempted a force restart (Power + Volume Down) while on a charger.

4. Verified that the wireless charging coil assembly is screwed down correctly.

5. Reinstalled the old battery, but the phone still won't turn on.

I haven't been able to check if it's recognized by a PC yet, but it's otherwise unresponsive. Are there any common components that get damaged during this repair, or specific motherboard contacts I should check?

My phone gave a warning about 99% disk space (or maybe 97%). Well I think I deleted some files but I woke up to find it wouldn't boot past the boot screen logo. Maybe an app I was using added files to my phone.

Is there a way for me to delete some excess files from my phone, even though I can't reach the desktop or password screen? I use a numerical PIN number to unlock my phone.

Also is there any windows software which'll be useful for this?

…and won’t go further. I’ve pushed and pushed on this delicate piece of plastic as much as I dare, but the top won’t go flush with the rest of the body. If I apply enough pressure, I can seem to push the end with the hole for the button down, but the other end (top of the photo) won’t go further down.

I’m inserting this tray empty, so I know there’s nothing stuck inside the device, but then I compared the “spearpoint” of the device to the end of the broken SIM tray that came with the phone and I found an irregularity highlighted in red here (this is the best picture I could manage):

Both trays have a sort of slope at the corner, and the new one’s slope is noticeably different from the one in the old tray. I’m not sure if that’s the cause of the problem here, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Has anybody else experienced this issue or know of a possible solution? I’m kinda bummed because the SIM tray came from iFixit (I still have the packaging in case I need to return this) and I don’t know if I’m installing wrong or these trays are generally troublesome.

If restart my phone in safe-mode and clear the cache, I can make one call successfully but then it stops working again.

I would guess that the problem would be resolved by factory resetting my device, but Iam still holding out hope that it wont come to that.

Thanks.

To this day, I have been unable to get the phone to startup.

If anybody knows how to fix this problem, please let me know. I only had this phone for 2 years and could not believe that this thing would die so soon.

The device however flashes the flashlight repeatedly when plugged into charger.

Was hoping to see if anyone else has ran into this problem, and if possibly the battery or charging port are bad? (Haven't tested new since I don't usually stock these items)

Seems like the flashlight flashing is an indication of something, just looking to see what it is indicating!

Thank you!

Update: now it's still dark on half (and flickering), but we can see some of the display. Like it's transparent instead of fully black screen
