Help me unbrick my s7 edge SM-G935F

Hello guys, I'm in dire need of your expertise, I'm stuck on a "custom binary blocked by frp" error... I can't flash stock roms, I can't boot into recovery, I can't turn on the phone... I can't do anything, all the time same error.... I never rooted or used custom roms, all I did was flash different stock firmwares cause my original was unstable and restarted and crashed apps constantly... flashed 2 or 3 stock firmwares which had the same problems until this happened as I was about to flash another firmware... PLEASE HELP ME ... or idk what i will do if i dont fix this... :crying:

You probably have the oem lock enabled at the moment. Use smart switch and try to do an emergency recovery. This will flash stock rom.
When you have successfully restored your phone. Enable developer settings. And unlock the oem tick

I tried many times.... both emergency and initalization fail with and error and downloading mode shows "SECURE CHECK FAIL : (BOOTLOADER) ... I flashed a CP file an hour ago and got myself to recovery, but it fails to mount system with a lot of other mount fails... please help
I think it's cause I didn't set up secure start up and i think i disabled oem unlock and usb debugging, but usb works just fine... and didn't delete google account... but still I shouldnt be locked out so badly, I can't do anything... I can't flash via odin cause frp... mannaged to flash a BL and a CP file and nothing else. Still can't boot or flash AP or CSC cause of frp-fap or w/e it is... and recovery doesn't help since system is empty or non existant... not sure.. pls help

If you got yourself tor recovery. Do a full wipe there. It will disable the protection on it if I'm correctly. Try that step.
You said you could flash the bl. Doest it pass or fail when you try the same thing with a complete rom?

When I do a wipe data/factory reset it cleans everything but has an error / E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument) can't mount '/system', rc = '-1' (Invalid argument) and then data wipe complete...
tried to mount the /system as well, and again e:failed to mount...
As for the flashing a rom all together doesn't work, almost all images files are denied by FRP - FAP w/e it is.... with a green msg in downloading mode "Custom Binary (your img here) Blocked by FRP/FAP Lock ... recovery.img,boot.img, system.img etc... , only can flash CP and BL, BUT the BL file that I can actually flash is from a SM-G935F_BTU_G935FXXU1APC8, my stock firmware which is german vodafone's latest ( G935FXXS1BPI8_G935FVFG1BPH1_VD2) BL, AP and CSC can't be flashed with odin ... BL fails with Secure Check Fail (bootloader) as does it fail in smart switch program.
My model number is SM-G935F ...and RF8H61YE4CP for S / N or what ever it was, too tired, I've been trying to fix the phone for 16 straight hours... pls help

My main problem is that Smart Switch can't restore, it stops at 0% installing phase, since the BL ie the bootloader can't be installed. the download screen says in red SECURE CHECK FAIL : (BOOTLOADER) i'm 99% if I manage to somehow make smart switch install the bootloader ie the first thing it wants to install, everything else would fly since smart switch ignores the FRP/FAP , or so I heard. pls help guys there must be a solution hiding somewhere...

If smart switch can't restore it the I'm out of options. Smart switch basic forces permission to restore the system.
Flashing a different bootloader isnt going to do anything if I'm correct. If the system and data image is intact you could try to flash the bootloader that goes with that rom.
That way it might boot and you would need to enter your Google credentials.
I messaged you a link to rootjunky with a bypass in the front. You might want to try that.
Otherwise you could try to flash a different recovery ( Philz?) that might gain access to the image.
If the data and system image is wiped. Then the only thing you can work with is odin.
I have no knowledge of adb, don't know if there are some options with sideload

After a good night sleep, today I tried to flash the same AP as y-day and it worked. I successfully unbricked my s7 edge. The FRP/FAP lock that didn't let me flash probably had a timer and today it let me. Thank you god, and thank u guys for trying to help me.

Good to hear that you got it up and running. The frp lock was 3 days first. Well at least the Google credentials section. But after many customer support has been rolled back to 24 hours

I installed the OTA by fastboot as indicated by a post, but at the moment of flashing the TWRP recovery I marked error. I tried again with other versions and they all gave me the same error.

my mobil SM.G950F my rom AQH3
I wanted to mount recovery twrp 3.1.1-2 by odin I was made a brick does not leave the word samsung I can enter in download mode I enter in odin to try to repair it but it gives a failure nor a rom new stock nor with another recovery some give me a hand thank you very much

Have you tried the force enter recovery by the button combo. Vol up, bixby, and power.
Also, when you flashed the firmware. Did you check erase nand before flashing. If not, that is why it wont boot after a flash.

Hi... if you can enter to downland mode nothing are lost.
Just enter to odin and flash the latest firmware for G950F.
( sorry for my bad english, i speak spanish)

Bricked S8, have tried multiple solutions

I successfully rooted my phone but it got stuck in a bootloop when I restarted it.
I can't enter recovery mode or turn it off, all I can do is enter odin mode.
I have tried:
1. The AGQ5 fix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g-aqg5-fix-t3636857/post73032395#post73032395) it doesn't work.
2. Smart switch, it says my device is unsupported
Please help!

1- flash twrp again
2- flash stock rom with odin ( download mode )
you can reboot just with vol - + shut down B

you maybe installed the wrong version of twrp the latest one is for the new bootloader if you have the older bootloader install the last version

It doesn't boot into TWRP even after I flash it again

Sorry if I'm asking a question but how do I check my bootloader version? I just used the latest version (twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img.tar) from a site but I can't link it.

Flash full stock in odin. Then you can try twrp again if you wish.

It worked, thanks so much for all your help. Words cannot describe how grateful I am.
