Hi everyone! I want to say thanks for all the great info you provide in these forums! You have helped me root many devices successfully. This is my first time posting a thread here, and I hope someone can help me. Here goes...
I have the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime U.S. Cellular (SM-G530R4) that I am trying very hard to root. I tried King Root, which said it could root my device, but after doing so the first restart of the device resulted in a soft bring with big message saying Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock. I've done hours of research and that seems to be common problem. So I downloaded and Flashed Stock firmware back to the device successfully. I did more research on rooting my phone and all I can find for other methods is CF Autoroot. Typically this works well for me, but on this phone it is not. Here is whats happening when I try to flash CF Autoroot -
I enabled USB Debugging, restart my phone in download mode and connect to USB. In Odin I select PDA and select the CF Autoroot TAR file. Click on Start. Odin reports: File analysis-success, setupconnection, initialization, Get PIT for mapping, firmware update start, singledownload, recovery.img, NAND write start, FAIL! complete(write) operation failed.
At this point I look at the phone which on the download screen reports: Product Name-SM-G530R4, Current Binary-Samsung Official, System Status-Official, FRP Lock- On, Knox Warranty Void- 0x0, Qualcom Secure Boot- Enable (CSB), AP SWREC: S1 T1 H1 R1 A1 P1, Secure Download-Enable, CUSTOM BINARY(RECOVERY) BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK. (Note that when trying to flash CF Autoroot, the FRP lock message includes "Recovery" where as when the device was already rooted with King Root and then restarted, the message did not contain the "Recovery" but was otherwise identical and stand alone in BIG letters. With the device already rooted by King Root, FRP Lock actually bricked the device. But when trying to root with CF Autoroot, FRP lock only blocked the flashing and I am able to restart the device and load up as if nothing ever happened. I really want to root my phone, but I need your help to make FRP Lock allow flashing the custom binary, and to do so without soft bricking it!! Ive seen a lot of people with the problem of FRP Lock softbricking their phones, but I can't find anything at all on FRP Lock stopping you from even flashing the custom binary. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
P.S. If its of any importance The device is US Cellular SM-G530R4 - Android 5.1.1 - Baseband Version G530R4TYU1AOL2 [This is the newest Update] - Build Number LMY47X.G530R4TYU1AOL2

I have two SM-G531's, and this SuperUser works on LP 5.1.1, also works with the SM-G531F..I'm not familiar with your variant, but give this a try, flash this file via TWRP recovery, then do a normal boot..(will NOT work with stock recovery)..
Here >> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzr_08QESKW4Um1LSzdNM1JONTg/view?usp=drivesdk
Thing is, I don't know if TWRP is available for your variant, do a search for any 530 variant and give it a try..the 531 variant (I'm pretty sure) uses a different CPU than the 530, which is very important with a custom recovery..maybe CWM offers a recovery for your variant, I say TWRP because it's the only recovery I use..
One would flash a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) via Odin3 on a PC..be sure and have "No reboot" checked on left column in Odin3, then after recovery flash, while device is idle in "Download mode" unplug from PC, then pull the battery..with device OFF, then boot to recovery (the normal way) via the three button press, the device will boot to the custom recovery, then with the SuperUser file I supplied, via "storage" or the SD Card, one would flash via the (Install) button in TWRP..then boot normally..
TIP: If the device is not turned off after a custom recovery flash, the custom recovery flash will not stick and the device will revert to stock recovery..device MUST be turned OFF then booted to the custom recovery that was just flashed..
I'm sorry if I offend with my explanation, not sure of your understanding level of all this..lol

P.S.
If you continue having FRP issues..which you shouldn't, BUT..if you do..here is a zip file I worked up for my personal use..unzip this file to your PC somewhere, included in this zip, is a MS Word (.doc) file for instructions..in this instruction sheet, replace OTG with SD Card instead, you'll copy the (.apk) file to your device SD Card or storage, then install the apk included..I do most of my flashing via OTG instead..
Here >> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzr_08QESKW4dWp0Wlo5RUMtN28/view?usp=drivesdk
Do this ONLY if you keep getting the FRP issue..
I hope all this helps you reach your goal..

Just Delete your google account for disable frp lock... then flash via odin for root your phone. Hope This will work... ☺

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge successfully through the use of CF auto root and odin. After sometime I was trying to disable fused location with the app named Disable Services when my phone rebooted and gave me the error "Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock". So I researched and found a solution which was to download a firmware on to my device with odin. I downloaded this firmware from a site called sammobile
which was successful.
Now the problem is that whenever I try to re-root my device it gives me the error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" which I bypass by booting from recovery mode but when I check the root access it is not available.
So how can I re-root my device?
Note: Though root access is not available I still cannot update my phone because it says that it is modified.
Model number: SM-G935F
did you know that to root and/or install custom roms or recoveries, you have to have OEM Unlock checked. And after you can't go and uncheck it or else it will fail to boot and gives you that FRP lock words. just something i found out. Just leave it if you are rooting your device, if you want to go back to stock, you can then go and uncheck OEM unlock. later
I have this S7 Edge Verizon which a few days ago gave me a problem. I was using the phone just for a few days.While using it, social media normal stuff it self restarted ( notice that it was pretty hot, but it's a usual thing at this point ) and it got stuck in logo.
P.S: I am really familiar with this kinda stuff because I work at a phone service.
So I tried the usual stuff, wiping cache and data but it didn't solve any thing. So I decided to flash official rom. I downloaded the oreo rom from sammobile and when I tried to flash it, it just skipped all files. I thought this would be due the verizon model, because it's bootloader was locked and oem unlock wasn't enabled. I tried to flash the firmware without the bootloader and with pit but no result. Than I decided to enable oem unlock throught combination file.
When I downloaded combination file, at the website it said G935V but it actually was G935A, and somehow it flashed successfully without any problems. But after reset the phone was stuck at the very first Samsung Logo with some cpu and voltage information at the top left corner with a warning saying RPMB provisioned.
At this point I thought I might as well flash the stock firmware again but this time I got bootloader error and trying to flash it without a bootloader it would skip all files saying something like " skipping all binary files " as before. Bare in mind that during all this testing the phone got really heated. So I let it cool for a while and still nothing happened. Than I decided to flash this boot_root file I found and it actually booted up the Combination Rom. I enabled usb debugging in the settings but there was no Oem Unlock option, not even grayed out ( maybe because the rom G935A does not have the option ).
Even the USB debug enabled it still couldn't flash stock rom because of bootloader error and some binary error also and again if i didn't include bootloader it would skip all files.
I was thinking of installing a custom rom but I found out that there is not twrp avaible for s7 edge verizon because of it's locked bootloader. And if I try to install supersu through adb it just doesn't work.
Now my download section looks like this
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935A
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: ON (don't worrie about it, i got all the gmail info)
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 (the warranty has expired anyways)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
RP SWREV: B5(2, 1, 1, 1, 1 ) K1 S4
SECURE BOOT: ENABLE
IDOQ : G(42), S(12) mA
CPU SERIAL NUM : 0x1408501f
Fused open loop voltage: 970mV
RPMB PROVISIONED
The Samsung first boot up screen still has the RPMB PROVISIONED with the cpu information and also the custom flagg and I am able to boot up the combination rom.
I also tried to flash the official rom with z3x but it didn't solve anything. If you need any additional information just tell me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to download official firmware from another source. I recommend updato.com.
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=4F3A1B13706611E89F15FA163EE8F90B
You need to flash the latest Oreo firmware for the Verizon SM-G935V because it sounds like your phone has issues with your current bootloader. Go back to the Verizon firmware first and see if the phone works normally. Also, flash the regular CSC file not CSC_HOME.

I too have the same exact problem. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?
Hello guys,
Lately i had some problems with my charging port on my phone and one day i found my cellphone (it was charging) dead and now it's stuck on Samsung S6 Edge + logo not even on the boot logo and it says CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FRP. i Cannot access the Recovery only the Download Mode.
I really tried everything i've found on the forums from flashing the latest software(i tried more then 5 different firmwares to flash all of them were stock files downloaded from sammobile) to taking it to the repairing service(Not on warranty) and yet they have not done it. I thought if the NAND erase would help me but i have not tried it yet. On Odin it gave me errors like Bootloader blocked by FRP Lock and even for the cache, radio and custom binary. It gave me even the error SECURE CHECK FAIL for this ones. Is there any other way to unlock the FRP so i'll flash it without problems? I still believe there is something i can do but i ran out of ideas. Help!
P.s: It also shows RP SWREV: B:5 K:0 S:1 idk what it means but i think it has to do with the custom binary.

You can flash combined firmware for your model, then you will be able to unlock it.

I somehow have managed to get back the recovery but it still won't flash the stock firmware. Any idea what to do next anybody?
Dear forum members,
i've a problem with a SM-T580. The PIT partition information is missing and i can't flash it together with new rom using ODIN, because the FRP lock is ON. This wy i'm totally stuck!!! I can't flash PIT file because of the FRP lock and i can't get rit of the FRP lock because i can't flash a PIT file
Who of you bright minds comes with a working solution for my problem..... i would be very grateful.
Thank you for your feedback and hopefully working solution(s)
-Regards,
Mark
Hi together,
any news on this one? I have exactly the same issue. And I never rooted or OEM unlocked my T580. I just applied the official Samsung updates until Android 8.1. But I rarely used the tablet so the battery probably was empty for a long time. A couple of months I wanted to use it again and charged it up and Android wouldn't start anymore. I have rooted and used ODIN and TWRP on my old S2 and S5's to flash LineageOS, so I know my way around, but now I also have the "PIT partition information missing + FRP lock issue" as described by Mark. Most posts claim you just need to find the right/matching stock ROM version, but I have tried all version from 6.0 up to 8.1 matching my german localization (DBT) but none of them work. Also it doesn't really make sense, since the partitions cannot be accessed without a correct partition table.
So... who is smarter than us ;-)
Here the Info from the ODIN DOWNLOAD screen (Home + Volume down + Power)
ODIN MODE
DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T580
CURRENT BINARY. Samsung Official
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Download : Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000)

Thanks for any help,
Kalle
You will find the pit.file , if you unzip the CSC.img of original Stockrom.
