desperate help finding the right stock rom please.

My phone just suddenly stopped working earlier today.it was running the latest omega rom with the latest modem and boot loader. ...
I cant get into recovery either. When I try it just reboots and goes to the samsung boot screen.my phone is a sim free insurance replacement and im not sure what stock rom to flash...
Could some nice soul just tell me the exact rom thats needed.
Its a uk based I9505 .
Please some one help as im away from home atm and have no way of contacting anyone.i have laptop and a dongle so can at least download and flash.
What ever has happened has corrupted it somehow.
I can still get into download mode how ever.
Id be eternally grateful if there is some nice soul to.help me

Just download and flash this with the latest Odin. Boot in download mode.

This is the latest German FW that Omega is based. It has the "OXA" Multi-CSC, which also includes BTU (United Kingdom)
After flash you will not have any problem retrieving all your data, as long as you don't factory reset.

If it remains on the Samsung boot logo, then try to flash the same firmware with the .pit file and "Re-Partition" flag checked in Odin.
If still doesn't boot, then you have to enter recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset the device

Forgot to activate OEM-Unlock for Root. Phone Bricked: "Custom binary blocked by FRP"

Forgot to activate OEM-Unlock for Root. Phone Bricked: "Custom binary blocked by FRP"
Hello,
today i rooted my J5 (SM-J500FN) via Odin and CF-Auto-Root.
Everyting went well but after the root i unticked OEM-Lock (please dont ask me why i did it) and restarted my phone and this nice screen greeted me: "Custom binary blocked by FRP. SECURE FAIL: KERNEL"
So I tried everything I found on the Web and found nothing really helpful. Then i tried flashing the recovery and reflashing CF-Auto-Root but both got blocked in the Download Mode with the message "FRP Block".
Please can someone help me, i really hope i dont have to reset my phone because my google authenticator is stored on it, and it would be a real pain to write to the support of every account i connected to reset my Security Options.
Thanks, Toby
P.S: when i flash the boot.img does it wipe my device?

Try using Smart Switch from Samsung to backup you stuff and accounts. Maybe it will work. Using Smart Switch you can also easily reflash the latest Marshmallow firmware.

I don't know about that... Try asking someine more experienced.
I do know that even in Recovery mode the ROM locks you out and doesn't let you factory reset for example

No it does not. You are not affecting the data partition.
This would only happen if you flashed the factory repair firmware.

Thank you all. Here is my Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/complete-guide-to-rid-custom-binary-t3541403
It is generally for all (Samsung) Smarphones as i believe that it wont be any different.

Happy for you ^^

When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device
When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account

You only need to enter your login details if you factory reset.
Flashing the stock firmware is enough to remove frp. No need to factory reset.

I also have frp lock om my phone. It will not boot past maim boot screen. I cannot install twrp due to cuatom binary blocked error. Adb doesnt recognkze my phone either.

Hard brick?

Hello I need some help. Customer bring Galaxy S7 edge G935f to my store he said it hang after update so I thought it will be simple firmware flashing through ODIN unfortunately not take a look at picture it's strange FRP is on Knox isn't tripped but system status is custom and it has EFS issues and DM-Verity verification failed. I already tried to fix it using guide "How to fix IMEI / DRK issues" by @CuBz90 no luck

Since you can get into recovery mode have you tried to do
a "factory data reset" before trying to odin flash the phone?
Good luck,
Have a great day!

It's never a hard brick if you can get to recovery or download mode.

Of course I tried factory reset -_- even flashing Nougat and then Marshmallow again even tried to flash TWRP but FRP is on

While reflashing: try to flash full versuion with BL, CP etc. floowing hint from here.
For convenience, here is the link to BTU version with PIT file as well.
It should repartition your phone, put it to REAL factory setting, repairing in the way if something went wrong.
Of course, if you have got the phone legally, FRP shall not be a problem, you can ask the woner for a password?

Thanks I'll try that. By FRP i mean that OEM unlock isn't ticked in developer settings i don't care about google activation lock i just want device too boot if owner don't know his account thats not my problem he paid for fixing firmware so i assume he didn't stole that device

I believe tat during flashing you have ticked repartition and showed Odin the pit file? Hehs...
Last resort: use this one.
It is called somewhere as "repair firmware", so it may do te job.
If not, I'm afraid that flashing 100% stock and sending it over to Samsung could be only option

Yes I did that with repartition and pit file unfortunately it has broken battery cover and little dent on front glass I know that it has nothing in common with firmware but Samsung wont fix it under warranty untill I pay for screen and back cover replacement so I guess it's paperweight now...
Anyway thanks for the link I will check this tomorrow at work

If you downgrade to android 6 you need to factory reset which you obviously cannot do because you have an MDM lock.
Why does this tablet have MDM software installed is the question?
Also I can't see how you have managed to get FRP locked when you have MDM as this prevents factory reset unless you have installed a custom recovery or something?
In that case all that is required is to flash the stock firmware.

So this means someone has somehow managed to factory reset via recovery triggering the FRP lock.
How considering it is already mdm locked is a mystery?
There are ways to get by FRP using accessibility mode, but the firmware would need to be downgraded to the earliest possible.

The problem is if you try to downgrade the os version you need to wipe the data partition.
You cannot do that because of mdm.
What's the full firmware build number?

OK just re-read your post, you already have the correct firmware.
When flashing the firmware flash CSC instead of HOME_CSC.
This should wipe your DATA partition and remove the MDM software.
Check repartition in ODIN when flashing. It should find the PIT file in the CSC file.

SM-N9860 Soft Brick Recovery

Hi All,
I brick my SM-N9860, after playing with changing csc on TGY firmware I got to situation that my phone doesn't boot to system and I have FRP lock. Its stuck on download mode (attached pics).
Factory reset in recovery mode doesn't work and I cant flash new firmware with odin because of FRP lock.
Maybe some can help how can I resolve this issue?
I tried to flash combination file with pit file but I get error that there is a FRP lock. I wanted to try the option in recovery "Apply update with adb" but I cant find OTA file for SM-N9860.
From what I understood there is some boxes and dongles like Octoplus Pro Box that can reflash the phone and remove the FRP lock but maybe there is a solution easier than this that works with odin??
The problem is to make my phone to boot, than I could remove the FRP lock because my problem not the google credentials only that it not boot up after factory reset...

Why don't you just put your Samsung account and password in? Because that's what you need to do in order to turn off the frp.. If you're going to tell us you don't know the Samsung user account and password that's only going to make us think the phone is stolen because that's basically what frp is meant to do block people from using it or doing updates or factory resetting it to try to remove the frp.. All you need is your Samsung account and password..

Man are you serious?! I told you the problem not that I cant put my google or samsung credentials.. THE PHONE doesn't boot to the system at all can you understand this?! You can find me in another tread where I tried for cople weeks with guys from this forum to make our phone to work with native call record and reflash it many times with difrent firmware( CHC, TGY) and only one time I forgot to delete my google and samsung account before reflashing. So please dont tell me what you think, if you cant contribute to resolving and helping dont comment like you know something about me.

Can you do me a favor with a patched version of Odin or just try multiple different Odin versions and flash only the CSC, AP and BL. and yes this is going to factory reset it probably but at least you might have the phone back.. Is this an unlocked bootloader phone btw? Edit: Make sure you're flashing the correct BL AP and CSC that the phone originally came with. Edit: Can you tell me what the last firmware was that you had on it?

I will try it, the phone is unrooted and with locked bootloader like it came from factory with no knox tripped. The last firmware that I was is "SM-N9860_20201112_TGY_N9860ZSU1BTJ9-N9860OZS1BTJ9-N9860ZCU1BT"
but the modification that I made was with SamKEY changed the CSC to CHC and after that flashed CHC csc file with odin, so in settings I had region CHC,CHC/CHC,TGY
Thanks for help

Flash just the CSC, AP and BL of the firmware version N9860ZSU1BTJ9 if that doesn't work then try flashing the CSC, AP and BL from the firmware version N9860ZSU1ATGM and see if that works..

Hi Chetbiz,
On your original thread, I did mention a ”patched” version of ODIN, I thought you already tried it. I guess not...
So there is still chance [emoji848].

Hi fjorger)

Thanks)

From what I understand I need Binary 4 file to unlock frp lock, maybe some one knows something about this file and if we got one anywhere?

I have never heard about it before, sorry

You may have to bite the bullet and send back to Samsung and have them reset the phone to original factory condition. It may cost some money, but better that than not having a phone at all -- a lot less than buying a new note for sure.
If you can't get it to flash on your own, I think that is your only option.
One quick thought - have you tried to turn off the phone and then boot back into Download mode? if not, try holding power and volume down until screen turns off - and when it is still off -quickly plug the USB cord into your phone. This will (should) force download mode - if it works - click volume up and then use Odin to try to flash the last firmware file you have (try all four files)
I don't know if this will help or make a difference, but if you haven't already tried this - it may work for you.
Good luck....

Yes I think too that sending back to seller is my only option, I'm trying to connect with him, I bought on ebay, the problem he's doesn't answering me.
About download mode of course I entered the download mode after he was turned off. Nothing works, the strange thing that its fails to flash the latest tgy firmware, there I dont have an error about pit file or frp lock but its still failes on AP file when trying to write super.img... So I don't know what the solution for that, maybe in next firmware version it
will succeed

You probably already tried this - but just in case, go to this link and download the most recent PATCHED Odin -
Then get several different USB Cords - Samsung Original is usually the best - but get different cords just the same -
then try to flash all four files in that patched odin - if it fails, close odin - open it again and reload the files and try again using a different USB Cord.
I believe that if you keep trying, you will eventually get it to work...
By the way, If you can't get the Seller to do the right thing - contact SAMSUNG Support and arrange to send it back to them. They may charge you (Probably around $100 or so I think) but they can definately help you get it working again.
Hope that helps - Good Luck.

super.img is from AP. Try to flash the build that was working on your phone before the issue happened, but without the AP.
