I had just rooted my phone, everything went fine, business as usual. I restarted my phone since I hadn't put my SIM card in it yet, but when it booted back up, I got a screen that says, "Custom binary blocked by FRP. Secure Fail: Kernel" and that's it. I tried a factory reset and it didn't help.
Anytime it boots, it comes back here. I'm still able to go into download mode and system recovery. If there was any way to fix this, I'd assume it would be through one of these. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
EDIT: If anyone else gets the same problem, I managed to fix it after flashing a stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/general/guide-flashing-stock-rom-t3039167. The kernel download takes a long time, so be prepared.

Hi,
I have a galaxy note 3 from Ireland, and I wanted to root it so I followed the instructions I found online. However, when it booted back in after ODIN it still askd me for the encryption pin. If I entered it the phone screen just went black.
So I downloaded the firmware and flashed that with ODIN, and even though it seems to flash successfully it still prompts me for the encrpytion pin. I know the pin, but it just goes to a blank screen.
Can anyone help me with this? I don't care if I lose my files, I just want to get the phone working again!
Thanks.
HI all,
So I today I messed up and I need your help :crying:. Basically here's whats going on: I decided to root my phone since I found that battery was complete garbage, so I decided to root the phone with TWRP and Odin and after flash a new kernel for my phone as well as SU. Everything went fine. However, when i tried to reboot my phone to get a custom rom i wanted, it keps telling "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and would be stuck in a boot loop (which apparently is normal and would just need to flash a rom for it to work). Finally I just decided to boot factory, so I can get to my files and put that damn custom rom. Long story short, I was able to put it, wiped system in TWRP and flashed this new rom only to get another error "THis package is for device trltetmo, this device is trltexx". Now I couldnt even factory reset anymore. At this point I decided to flash my back up that I did before and yet ANOTHER problem "cannot restore system mounted read only". After couple of hours of research, I needed to change the name of the file to system.image.mbn i think, I changed a file called system.ext --> system.image.ext. Needless to say that it didnt work. Final thing I decided to do is simply to flash a stock rom with odin and reverse the root, so I downloaded a stock rom for note 4, started the whole process with odin and now it is stuck at system.img.ext4....and i have no clue what to do, I dont know even know what I did before is the problem or it is something else, all i know is that odin is stuck at that message. Should I just let it go, should I stop it? Help! please
Wow, true hardship you get it back running?
Try using Kies and doing firmware upgrade mode to see if it can download and load the stock firmware for that device.
Hi all,
New user here, not much experience rooting or messing with firmware for phones. I was following the guide on how to flash the SM-935U firmware to the verizon model of the Galaxy S7 Edge, and may have bricked my phone. Here's what I did.
Followed the guide to the letter.
Powered off phone, booted to Download mode
Fired up Odin, selected the SM-935U firmware files, and clicked start.
It gave me an Auth error, which research revealed means that I forgot to turn off Reactivation Lock. I figured, "Fine, I'll just disable it. However, I can't get the phone to boot again. Every time I leave download mode, it boots into Android Recovery, where, no matter what I do, it just reboots into Android Recovery. I can't Wipe anything because it can't mount /system - probably due to Reactivation Lock?
I've been research and researching ways around this, and everything I find just points back to flashing it with the stock firmware. But then I read that you can't even do that if Reactivation lock is on, because Odin will still fail with the Auth error. So, I can only get it to boot to recovery mode, and I can't flash it with anything?
I did read somewhere that if I choose to wipe the phone's EFS with Odin that it should override activation lock, but then it clears the phones IMEI, which is an even bigger mess, isn't it?
I feel like I have to be missing something... since it never did the wipe, why is it that I can't get past the recovery mode. Shouldn't I still be able to get into the system somehow?
Does Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for me? I'd really like to not be stuck with a permanently bricked S7 edge if at all possible....
Solved
Just wanted to post this to help anyone else who might have this issue. Turns out that you can flash the stock firmware, as long as you're flashing at least the same version or newer of the stock firmware as what the phone was running prior to getting stuck in recovery mode. It shows you what version it was running in the recovery mode at the top.
So for me, I googled the exact firmware version that recovery mode said the phone was running, downloaded it, flashed it with ODIN, and it worked just fine. Had to choose to wipe with the recovery mode after I flashed it, but then it booted like normal. - Then I enabled OEM unlocking under the developer menu, and tried flashing the U firmware again with ODIN, and it still failed with the auth error. Huh.
Turns out (maybe I wasn't doing it right or something) that you can't flash older versions of the firmware to the phone. But, as long as OEM unlocking is enabled, you can flash the U (unlocked) version of the current firmware to the phone and it will take just fine. Hint: I was able to determine the "version" number by looking at the last 4-5 characters of the build number... the verizon version I was running for my SM-935V was: VZW-G935VVRU4API3 - So I googled the API3 firmware and found the U (unlocked) version for my carrier (I happen to be using T-Mobile) on this site: https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G935U/ and found the zip file name which was TMB-G935UUEU4API3-20161011161050.zip, googled that, got the rapidgator link, downloaded it, and that flashed just fine to the phone, and now my T-Mobile SIM works perfectly in what was previously the SM-935V, which now identifies as an SM-935U in settings. It's beautiful.
Also, you need the PIT file, but I was able to use the PIT file for the phone model number (again, found at the top of the android recovery menu), which for my phone was: HERO2QLTE_USA_VZW.pit (googled that and got it off androidfilehost) - I was able to use that PIT file for the T-Mobile U version of the firmware and it worked just fine.
Hope this helps someone.
I have an SAMSUNG s8 SM-G950F which I purchased threw Amazon as new from Italy, I live in the UK.
I decided to try rooting it Following these steps
1st of all I tried using Odin3.V3.10.6 and using CF-Auto-Root-dreamlte-dreamltexx-smg950f.tar.md5
Al this seemed to do was factory reset my phone it still worked fine but was not rooted.
so I tried the method below, from that site, wont let me post links so took the . out
galaxys8root com galaxy-s8-root how-to-root-galaxy-s8-or-s8-plus-exynos
When it game time to to do the 2nd key combination (step11) for the twrp, to load the boot loader i missed it, and my phone was stuck, at boot screen and would do nothing, i tired to use Odin to write the file again it never happened.
I did some more goggling saw that web site is out of date and there was a new version of twrp, downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-dreamlte.img.tar and tried using odin to flash that, still was not having it, still stuck at the screen. Figured out how to get my phone back into usb upload mode and tried again, and then i kept getting the message that their was no P part partition and it failed.
Tried this a few times did some more goggling, saw the thing about doing it letting it fail, reboot the phone and do it straight away this did not work with the twrp-3.2.1-0-dreamlte.img.tar, but did work with CF-Auto-Root-dreamlte-dreamltexx-smg950f.tar.md5 file.
This let my phone boot again, and was rooted, but this caused me issues with running apps and I saw there was no way to hide the cf auto root so decided to just reset my phone.
This worked but now my phone fails the Safety test and i can not use apps that need it....
So was wondering if any one could advise me what my best course of action is, can i put my phone back to stock some how so it will pass the saftynet again or do I need to try the twrp so i can use magika and hide the fact its rooted?
Thanks in advance, included some screen shots from the software screen in case it helps..
Hi Guys
This is my first post on xda even after using these forums for years. But today I cant find a solution on here or anywhere for that fact, and was literally hoping that I've missed something somewhere.
So to start. I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime (SM-G570F). The other day I was flashing a custom rom when something went wrong during the flashing process and left me with a bricked device. Now I did do a full backup before flashing as I've learned the hard way how important this is. During the flashing it also asked me for a full wipe and to backup the EFS. Even though I did do all the backups and wiped everything< I've ticked both boxes and proceeded with the installation. Everything seemed fine but on 99.9% it froze. Not wanting to do anything I left it until it rebooted the phone by itself, where I was greeted with the download/flash screen. Didn't even give the warning about installing custom software and asked to continue. It just booted straight to the download screen. Tried getting back into recovery only to be greeted with download screen. No matter what I did it just kept booting into download mode. So I then re-flashed TWRP. Getting into the recovery I was able to mount EFS, System, Data, etc. Bu all showed 0mb of 0mb available. I then went to restore everything only to find that the SD Card was also wiped by the process. Thinking that maybe the recovery isn't reading everything correctly, I found the SD Card empty in windows also. No call me names or whatever, (I know my own stupidity) but I never backed up my backups on my PC. So I just proceeded flashing stock firmware as to start from scratch. Everything went as planned until the device got reset by odin. I was greeted with a screen saying "installing system update", but as soon as it reach 32% it changes to "erasing" and then "error" with the "DRK Missing" error. Then it boots to recovery where an error message is saying "unable to mount: EFS (Device or Recourse busy). I cleared cache and did a factory reset and it booted the system (Though mount error still appears in recovery even in custom TWRP/CWM recoveries also). Now I have a 00000..... IMEI number and no network connection. I've spent the last week on the web trying to find a solution with no luck. I'm tired AF because I didn't sleep trying to solve this. I tried flashing stock and custom roms, recovery's, boot-loaders, modems. Tried different software's like Samsung Tool, IMEI repair tool, Strings of adb commands, xposed modules, apps, terminals, etc. I even flashed factory binaries with no luck as to how to change it back.
So in short.
My EFS got wiped.
I lost my IMEI.
I don't have any backups.
Been awake for a week searching for solutions with no luck.
So please if anyone knows of a way to change the IMEI, please help me. I know It's illegal to change IMEI (though not in my country). But I down't want to change it for all the wrong reasons. I just want to change it back to the original found on the back of the phone and on the box. This can't do any harm can it? Please I just want my phone back please!

If this problem is still open, then on Your Phone box is writen imei, or take battery out and under serial number there will be your imei, root your device and use IMEI changer grant root access and type your imei in it, after that reboot and your imei should pop up! I had same issue and this steps made my day! THIS WORKS ONLY ON YOUR IMEI, YOU CAN'T CRACK, STEAL IMEI By this method, don't believe those Dumb ****'s from YouTube!
May I help You!
