Hey guys quick question before I download and attempt it, I have an Australian i9506 (Cat 4 LTE) but we don't have an official 5.0.1 firmware yet.
Can I just download the Nordic version from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9506/ and install it, or would it brick my phone/radios not work?
Thanks

Hi mate,
Yes you can !! it will not brick it , you may have (or not) problems with the modem as maybe is not the best for your region but you can always flash another...
should not be a problem
BACKUP first , nandroid and your EFS Folder, just in case there is a problem
Just to add to the previous suggestion, use Wanam's EFS Backup Tool rather than Samsung Tool, as it not only backs up the EFS partition but the hidden partitions where the IMEI and the modem are stored.

+1 mate!!
It also depends if your phone is carrier locked.
Thanks for the advice guys I'm giving it a try now, will edit as I go. My phone is not carrier locked (Voda AU don't lock them fortunately but they provide the codes on their website for free to unlock anyway).
So I downloaded Odin3 3.09 and the firmware I9506XXUDOA6_I9506NEEDOA6_NEE (this is the link from sammobile).
I'm following the instructions I found on another site but it's basically put the phone into download mode (home, power and volume down), agree to enter download mode, in Odin for AP select the .tar.md5, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Time Reset are ticked but not Re-Partition or anything else and start.
EDIT 1: The phone rebooted into recovery and updated something, now the phone is booting with a new boot animation. (for those referring to this I was on the latest AU Voda FW, then updated to CM12 5.0.2).
EDIT 2: After the usual nerve-wracking amount of time of first boot the boot logo finally went away and the usual "optimizing apps" message has come up and it's started (235 apps whoa the bloat). Waiting for that but at least it's working to a point where I can recover it. I just realised it's 6:10AM now and I FORGOT TO MAKE A BACK UP. I hope this works but worse case scenario there's a 4.4.2 Vodafone firmware I could flash and try my luck with if this doesn't work out.
EDIT 3: I'm not sure if it's part of the setup process but the word "UP" then a short progress bar appeared on the screen, now I've got only a black screen with a status bar (4G icon is there but no clock). I have rebooted from the power menu, let's see what's going on here.
EDIT 4: Cache wipe from stock recovery didn't work, trying factory reset from stock recovery. I note that the first time I set up the phone it was plugged into the computer with ODIN still running, I don't think it could have interfered but I unplugged the phone this time just in case.
EDIT 5: I'm not sure if it was ODIN or needing to do a factory reset but it's working now, I'm running through the set up. WiFi is working 100%.
Final EDIT: Everything is working 100%, tested the camera, proximity sensor, screen rotation, voice calls, mobile data, wifi and it's all 100%.

Thanks for let in us know.
For any other Aussies out there trying this I'm on day two and everything is working perfectly, getting root is super easy too, just use Odin to flash a custom recovery (Solk's CWM from May 2014 works great), boot into the recovery and install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip, exit and when it asks if you want to repair root say yes. Reboot, go to the play store, update to the latest SuperSU and all is well.
Hi, I'm a total noob on this but I don't know where to start to looking for an answer.
My girlfriend went on vacation (from Chile) to the united states, her mother gave her a cell phone (her cell phone at that moment) an almost new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935P) from the Sprint Network.
Before returning to Chile the cell phone was unlocked (or so they said at Spring), so here in Chile she put her local carrier SIM but the cell phone never recognized the Sim Card.
So she hard reset the cell phone. Everything went well until he had to enter the original Gmail account for the cell phone. Her mother did not remember the password so after som trial and error, they manged to reset the Google Account. But now when I try to enter de Gmail and password give me this error: Unable to sign in device due to a recent password change. try again in 24 hours, I have waited more than 24 hours and still can't activate the account.
The cell phone is still showing at her known devices in her mother's Gmail account, and the password is correct but I can't by pass the Gmail Activation, I was reading that I can downgrade to a firmware that allowed me to by pass the Samsung FRP but I don't know wich firmware I can use.
Can someone plase guide me how can I activate this cell phone.
Thank you!
edit: You were right I apologize.
If you want to get your password then whoever knows the best information will need to tell google over the phone what that information was when initially set up...birthdays, time of creation,etc-when they ask and %100 will ask. If she/you don't know it..you may never get it back... but calling their --> Customer Support <-- is your best option.
For s7 edge Android 7.0
So I found a way to bypass Google frp on Android 7.0 for the s7 edge and couple other model, it's an old way but modified. First enter into the Google account login screen where it says verify your account. All you do is simply over load it with characters. Tyler a bunch misc letters and number until you have a long good string then begine select all copy paste do this until your phone seem like it going to freeze up. I did it until it took about 2-5 mins to go through. Doing this will send you to a screen says error something went wrong. Hit enternor continue and if you notice this time when it goes back to verify your account the screen should have a black background at the top where's your notifacatioons are . Repeat 2-3-4 times overloading it and getting the error message I'm not sure exactly how many time think it suffers a on phone and Android build I just know once isn't enough to do it so do it a fewbtime it'll take awhile to get the first error but after that you should have the character line copies and ready to paste. After a couple time hit back arrow on your phone clear to where it ask to select language or start screen and emergency call if done correctly it should now give you the accessibility menu also enter into the accessibility option and modify your set up. Mess with stuff a little be careful with setting up universal switches as you can really mess yourself up. At some point in time you should be able to get your notification menu to drop down and open. When this happens hit the little setting menu button long click it and it should shortcut you to system settings. Bypassing for temporarily. Set up your setting and movie your app permissions as much as possible. Now the trick is getting my Knox downloaded open and set up on your phone. Once you do this make sure you click on both my Knox and regular device administration for know to have some control and make sure you say yes for Knox to be able to reset wipe your phone . After device administration is set and that all done go to your pc or another phone tablet whatever and log into know online and you hold re your phone connected on it white a button that says wipe this phone. Click it make sure the phone has Wi-Fi or service connected and wait for phone to wipe this should reset frp and Google verification back to being a new phone. There ya go merry Christmas

Fцck no it ain't legit. Dude probably got baked & strung up that nonsense to laugh at folks who tried it. You could string up a petrabyte worth of miscellaneous characters so long that your phone would be permanently frozen... & you wouldn't get an error message to pop up, let alone one that would change your notification bar background color or whatever else he said

I still can not remove the Samsung FRP, I've tryed all the methods I found online, but still nothing.
S7 & S7 Edge FRP [SOLVED]
Here's the real S7 & S7 Edge FRP bypass method..
Nougat 7.0+ will NOT work; You NEED to downgrade to Marshmallow. Links to Stock Firmware & FRP Removal files posted at the bottom.
- Download & extract the .zip file from my Google Drive below to your PC, then extract + run Odin
- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)
- Once the device reboots to the Welcome page, run the Qualcomm.bat file (reboots to Download Mode & removes FRP Lock)
- Back in Download Mode, flash the [MM] Stock ROM (CSC_HOME keeps user data; CSC wipes user data)
You've now successfully kicked FRP's ass from the device. Congrats.
NOTICE:
- You will be able to upgrade back to Nougat 7.0 following successful FRP Removal
- I INTENTIONALLY LEFT A FEW STEPS OUT. It took me a solid week to finally crack this migraine of a phone. You WILL have to figure some parts out on your own just like I did. If you cant, why are you even here?

Flashing the boot image tar file causes bootloop. I believe that's also the eng boot file? For root? How do you solve bootloop? Also what marshmallow were you on before doing this?

There is Nougat boot files. Check xda here for Qualcomm s7 root. There's a boot file you need to flash before doing adb root.bat..this enables adb, But this also causes bootloop.

I've been reading a lot a topics here at XDA and I'm overly confused about which method or boot file to use.
I think this could be the one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
What do you think? although it is for another is for G935T no G935P

Just downgrade to marshmallow.. Try PJ2.. I used that. Flash the boot file provided, run Qualcomm.bat via adb.. Then flash again 6.0.1... If phone reboot after flash boot file, you'll have to be very fast, after phone boot to welcome screen, before it reboots, keep running the Qualcomm.bat till u see adb recognize device. It will say error. About phone storage. Just ignore. It has been unlocked
Starting to see how much of a headache this sh¡t was is? Took me a solid week to crack it.

I have a G935V that is stuck with FRP. I reset my password today and then happened to try to flash a new ROM (didnt know about FRP at the time).
Been trying this all day, but cant get the S7 & S7 Edge QUALCOMM.bat to run on the phone... a flashed back to MM and the Boot.rar pushes fine, but when the phone gets to the welcome screen its like my computer doesn't recognize the phone is connected. Any ideas?
This worked great on my VZW s7 (just had to get the right VZW firmware)...
@KjK89, you have to run the .bat file before the welcome screen. I basically kept running it over and over during boot and it took before th welcome screen.
Check my post about SAMSUNG S7 Nougat 7.0 frp remove
Thanks So much, the only thing that actually worked!

Anybody looking for a fix for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Factory Reset Protection Bypass needs to follow these steps and you'll get past this pesky protection.
The only step that wasn't clear was this:
- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)
On Odin you have to choose the boot.tar file corresponding to your model number. This is done by selecting the BL button and only that one then in Odin click Start. This might be clear for veterans to flashing phones with new firmwares but it wasn't clear for me, being the n00b that I am. Thanks again. This worked great!
Hey guys,
I just got a used S8+. Upon booting up it was a clean factory reset. I went forward with the setup.
When i open up Samsung Pay i get the "samsung pay access to samsung pay has been denied...." msg.
This phone is not rooted, i have downloaded a root check and comes back as false.
The person who had the phone never rooted the phone.
And i also get this notification " Security Notice, unauthorized actions have been detected..."
Anyone know what could be wrong with it?
go into download mode, and see there if knox has been tripped. also can you use secure folder?
I had a similiar issue (KNOX not tripped). Just downloaded stock Odin ROM, flashed it and everything worked again.
This is what i get when in download mode?
Ill test Secure Folder now...brb
This is what i get when secure folder is launched.
Secure folder cannot be set up because unauthorized software was installed on the device.

If the phone is fresh and i don't care about data. Should i flash all of the files?

Yes, it is alway best to flash all files, but if you don't mind loosing your data, you can flash CSC_* package in place of CSC, to also repartition your phone and start fresh. But if you want to keep your data, you can flash the HOME_CSC_* package instead.
Just tried it with all the files and i get this.
I am so lost i am about to pull my hair out...
Ok finally was able to get it up and running with Samsung Pay working...
Ill be back later with a How-To for those folks that are stuck with the same exact problem.

Hi!
You can say how please?
Thanks!
I recently carrier unlocked my SM-G935P (2016 version) from Sprint and brought it over to ATT. All was working fine but wanted to get rid of the Sprint bloatware. After spending most of the day reading threads of flashing, felt confident that I could walk through flashing over to "U" FW. This is my first attempt at flashing and it has FAILED!
Used ODIN 3.12 , and files from UPDATO
It failed after first attempt and then was stuck in boot loop
I then realized that I never set the Developer options before flashing
have tried flashing back to half dozen different version stocks, deep clean flash, and various other work arounds I have seen on here to no avail
Only things that have PASS since the initial FAIL have been when I tried various BL individually, but no change in device
I am at the point that I can only access Download screen and ODIN still recognizes. Other option is the device starts to open in Recovery Boot, Installing Software Update comes up, about 10 lines of code start scrolling then phone goes black.
I'm still OFFICIAL, FRP Lock on, warranty void is 0x0 and AP SWREV is B5(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S4, and Secure Download is Enabled
I'm way past my comfort and capability in trying to get this even back to stock. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated... Finally broke free of the Sprint chains and on the edge of bricking my phone!

It sounds like you may have gotten sprint's update, not sure tho. Check your software version by going to about phone. If it ends with something like 5BRA1 (the 5 is whats important as that stands for binary ver. 5) then you might not be able to use the U firmware. You can try the U FW from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/successful-root-g935u-g935uueu4bqd2-t3598647
If that FW does not work, then you will either have to wait til they update the U FW to binary 5 or see if sprint can reload the OS, I would recommend asking them if they can give you an older version of the OS so you can use the U FW.

I did get the update to 5 unfortunately and am no longer with sprint, paid everything off an account is closed. I did some more digging and realized many mistakes yesterday. I tried the latest 'U' FW (binary 4), it failed, and then I tried the latest 'P' FW (binary 5) right afterwards and it failed... But I didn't cycle the phone in between attempts so of course it was going to fail. Ended up reflashing with the latest 'P', and went through the easy, "just say yes to everything" set up and all the bloatware reloaded onto it. Reflashed and wiped device, and was careful this time... 90% of the bloatware I wanted was gone. Package disabled the rest. Only thing I can't seem to get rid of is the Sprint logos on start up.
After stumbling my way through this first attempt, I'll do better research next time!

I recently carrier unlocked my SM-G935P (2016 version) from Sprint and brought it over to ATT. All was working fine but wanted to get rid of the Sprint bloatware. After spending most of the day reading threads of flashing, felt confident that I could walk through flashing over to "U" FW. This is my first attempt at flashing and it has FAILED!
Used ODIN 3.12 , and files from UPDATO
It failed after first attempt and then was stuck in boot loop
I then realized that I never set the Developer options before flashing
have tried flashing back to half dozen different version stocks, deep clean flash, and various other work arounds I have seen on here to no avail
Only things that have PASS since the initial FAIL have been when I tried various BL individually, but no change in device
I am at the point that I can only access Download screen and ODIN still recognizes. Other option is the device starts to open in Recovery Boot, Installing Software Update comes up, about 10 lines of code start scrolling then phone goes black.
I'm still OFFICIAL, FRP Lock on, warranty void is 0x0 and AP SWREV is B5(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S4, and Secure Download is Enabled
I'm way past my comfort and capability in trying to get this even back to stock. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated... Finally broke free of the Sprint chains and on the edge of bricking my phone!

Unfortunately, your phone is on the newest firmware, B5. You'll only be able to flash one of the latest sprint firmwares to get your phone to work. All the other carriers and U firmware are still running an older binary boot. You may also need the special version of ODIN...you can probably find it in the same forum about installing the U firmware. But if you download the latest sprint firmware, your phone should boot again.
My note 4, randomly crashed, running completely stock.
Began bootlooping and hasn't stopped.
Have downloaded firmwares from Samsung-Firmware . org, as SamMobile will literally not allow me to download anything for free??
No firmware has worked on the device, Have tried numerous PDA versions as I am unsure which the phone originally is.
The first firmware gave the error "dm-verity verification failed" in the recovery menu.
Have wiped cache and data.
Note: This is actually the second N910F which had corrupted itself and stopped working.
Help! :angel:
Do you want to recover some data from it?
If Not than you can try factory reset from Recovery menu.
Other than that it might be memory corrupted or your battery.
Try to change the battery.

New battery: Allowed the phone to boot past the first "Samsung Note 4" screen to : "Samsung" logo, but the phone made a loud beep/screech.
If you want to reflash the Stock ROM search for a version on https://updato.com
I just reflashed mine (g910f) even twice as I had an Infini-Boot, too. After cleaning Dalvik/Cache and formatting data, taking out the battery, after some time it suddenly displayed that it's going to setup apps and it works since then ...
So maybe just be patient.

to get the latest stock rom for your device, free and fast
look what you have to do:
download this (windows ) application and install it on your windows pc.
This is the aplication that will allow you to search and download the latest stock rom for your phone.
It connect to Samsung servers and in very little time you will have a new stock rom on your pc.
choose samfirm 3.06
extract it on a folder on your PC and run samfirm.exe
in the opening menu type
SM-N910F(or T/V/W etc your phones model)
REGION..... xxx (your region code)
these 2 you can find in a sticker under your battery if you open the phone and take off the battery
tick '' BINARY NATURE''
(If you dont tick BINARY...'' you will get the whole stock rom in one file xxxx.tar.md5 to flash it in the oding using the AP tab)
CHECK UPDATES>DOWNLOAD
THIS WAY YOU WILL GET THE LATEST STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE/REGION
Binary nature means the rom split in 4 files
1. BL- bootloader
2.AP - rom
3. CP - modem
4. CSC - Customer support code(region/country)
This is what a stock rom is consist of
this kind of rom is also called REPAIR ROM, because you can use it to repair your phone.
If you look in odin you will find exactly these 4 entries.
So you can put each in the appropriate box and flash them all and so have a stock rom.
push start
Wait until rom flashes and phone reboots.
Hopefully it will solve your problem and everything will go as we all wish to.
BUT, from what you are describing, i am afraid for 2 things:
1. Your battery is almost dead, thats the good scenario .
With 20 $ you will solve it.
So new battery, new rom> problem solved, or
2. You are starting to have the emmc failure on your phone.
Thats a tough one.
Lets hope its not the case.
Just in case
