Hi Guys,
I have a problem here. I flashed a custom ROM on my note 3 yesterday ( Euphoria ). Anyway now I am having some trouble ( after rebooting the phone ). It will consistently move into the error state :
" Firmware encountered a problem.... etc "
I can boot into download mode, and I attempted via Odin to flash a recovery file ( TWRP,PhilZ,CWM etc ), but it keeps failing. I figured then to download the stock firmware, but I am not quite sure which region the phone is on. Can I download any stock SM-N9005 firmware and try to apply it ? I did try to flash a HK stock firmware, but I got this error "
" aboot.mbn
FAIL (AUTH "
On the phone I get :
SW REV CHECK FAIL: [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 1
I believe this relates to the firmware ? But I am unsure which firmware file to use as I am unsure of the phones original region.
What else could I do from here ?

Well I downloaded a Poland firmware and I keep getting an error relating to the system.image.ext4.
Tried various PIT files but still no luck
Hello i am stuck on that point.
i have cm12,1 but want to flash stock again.
twrp is installed but allways it fails by odin
volume size is too big invalid ext4 image
what do i have to do?
Samsung A5 FU Modell.
same Problem here. Need help
The Marshmallows firmwares weigh more, and if they are Carrier, much more. Try to download a free firmware operator, if in case you still dating the same notice, flash the PIT file with Odin according to your model before flashing the firmware.
Firmwares: Here
PIT File: Here (need signup for show links download).
Good luck.
Get pit file download as ur mobile model number and pit file flash via odin.when flash complete then firmware again flash.
Hello guys. I'm new to XDA and I'm really tensed about my new s6 edge plus. I got it out of the box, booted it up and everything was working fine until it ran out of battery and shut down. I tried booting it up but it's stuck on the boot screen with an error 'custom binary blocked by frp lock'. I'm able to access the download and the recovery mode but I don't know what to do with it. I did my homework but I don't know how to odin flash or odin reset my device. Please help me out with this guys as i'm using my stupid iPhone to write this right now and I just wanted to switch over to android. Really worried. Looking forward for a reply. Also the model is asian, SM-G928C
Cheers.

S6 edge plus
That's good! Did you get the stock firmware from Sammobile for your model? And you odin flashed it right? And also, do you why this locked in the first place? And how to prevent it in future?

I own a Samsung Galaxy A9
I tried to update the firmware from the original lollypop to (maybe) marshmallow
I failed to update using the software, so i updated using smart switch
It went wrong, the update failed.
Now the blue screen with "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recvery function in the Smart Switch PC software" appears..
I tried the emergency recovery but it also failed
The only button combination that worked is the power button + volume down --> It restarted, but the same screen appears
I even tried refresing the software with Odin, but it failed.
The phone says "FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"
Odin doesn't work
The samsung customer service in singapore (my country) is not able to help. Would really appreciate it if somebody could help me with this.

Are you able to get into bootloader ? If so, you can try using ADB to remove OEM Unlock.. There should be bootloader unlock instructions for Samsung in these forums..

I take it you tried to update via odin originally.
If you give more details if what part of the flashing process failed we may be able to help.
Was it a particular partition that failed to flash.
A screenshot of the failed flashing process with odin would be helpful.
Also you may be able to remove the blue error screen by flashing the stock recovery with odin.
Extract it from the stock firmware, convert it to a tar archive then flash it with Odin.
Boot to recovery and wipe cache.
That itself may get you booting.
There is also Twrp available for your device which could do the same thing.
I had the same issue.. i fixed it yesterday.. what i did was.. go to developer options.. enable OEM unlock.. download CROM from galaxy apps store.. it gives a warning msg regarding unlocking the device.. that isnt an issue..just press ok.. and it will say ur device is unlocked.. and then try reflashing firmware from ODIN.. and then i did root my A9 and its working pretty nice since yesterday..

and also.. if u try to update to marshmallow.. u may get errors.. i assume thats because that is an update from CHINA..NOT from HONGKONG.. i suggest everyone to wait untill hongkong version of Marshmallow is released.. even i flashed marshmallow..had some error and my device was not booting and just booting into recovery with some error like drm something like that.. and then i flashed a hongkong lollipop 5.1.1 version and then my device booted..

I have the exact same problem as michael's... The problem is that we cannot enter the ROM at all... It only stuck at either the blue screen, or the odin mode screen. So we cannot disable neither FRP or Oem unlock...
Well in my chase i think the Crom service is already unlocked, but still... When trying to flash with :
China marshmallow : odin process failed even from the beginning (aboot.mbn <-- bootloader)
Hongkong lolipop : odin process failed during system ext4, saying it's too large

Is the TWRP for A9 available? I cant find any.
and remember this.. DO NOT FLASH CHINA MARSHMALLOW AS OF NOW.. it creates a problem.. FLASH ONLY HONGKONG FIRMWARE using the latest odin..

If odin won't flash and the bootloader is complaining about frp lock.
Then the firmware isn't meant for that device.
If it fails at aboot then it's likely nothing got flashed.
To remove the firmware error warning it's usually enough to flash the stock recovery or twrp with odin.
The stock recovery image can be pulled from the stock firmware and converted to tar with 7-zip then flashed with odin.
Note: twrp wont flash while frp lock is active.

"The stock recovery image can be pulled from the stock firmware and converted to tar with 7-zip then flashed with odin."
Which file do you mean by stock recovery image, and how to flash it with odin. I mean like which file should be converted to tar and should i put it into AP slot and then start odin like usual? thanks

Open the md5 firmware archive with 7zip and pull out recovery.img.
Use 7-zip to create a tar archive then flash with odin in AP slot.

First of all thanks for this..
I tried this and able to access the recovery screen..
But still flashing the stock ROM after wipe/factory reset fail.
I found several problems in the recovery screen:
There is "dm-verity verification failed" error
and there is problem about mounting to /system and formating /sbfs thing..
When I tried flashing.. the problem is also always on the same point.. On the system.img.ext4 it failed, saying volume is too large, ODIN : invalid ext4... <-- Always this failure
I dont understand any of this.

As previously stated the firmware is not intended for your device this is why you are seeing these issues.
Hi,
I have removed the blue screen, i tried flashing the stockrom after wipe/factory reset failed. I found several problems in the recovery screen. There is "dm-verity verification failed" error and error during wiping, there is a problem about mounting to / system and formatting/ sbfsthing. i don't understand any of this jargon.
Hope i can get some help for this, please.

Don't worry about /sbfs other Samsung devices get the same warning.
Dm-verity is usually due to a modified system partition or just the wrong firmware.
Wipe issue is likely because of frp lock.
Thanks Ashyx.
Right now when i try turning on my phone, my phone just keeps restarting and the typical welcome screen appears. Nothing further happens.

Hi all
I want to flash odin a9000 hong kong version, and I am afraid of this looking this thread
I am on latest hong kong rom 5.1.1., unlocked bootloade by crom , rooted, twrp installed...
So, do I need to afraid of this @steberg @ashyx and other advanced users
thanks
Man... Oh maaaan.....
I have also got this problem with SM-A9000.
via smart switch my firmware detected as china built (BPE2). but the emergency recovery always failed at 100%
then i try ODIN, with china firmware ( i try with the newest & even the oldest & i have tried with both full AP instalation & the single instalation BL, AP, CP, CSC) the result:
"FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"
with PIT & Re-partition also fail. only add result:
"FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download"
when i try with HK firmware (either newest & all other) it's better while the full instalation fail.
the single instalation made it for BL, CP & CSC and i got into the boot loop which show black screen
and SAMSUNG GALAXY A9(6) logo and i can access recovery.
But AP instalation always fail ( i have tried PIT also), the screen said
"FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download"
"Volume Size is too big 7372800 < 7979008"
"ODIN : Invalid id ext4 image"
my question? is it really wrong firmware? because the BL, CP & CSC can be installed except the AP because of the system.img.ext4.
because with the China Firmware,none can be installed.
also in my recovery there log:
"dm-verity verification failed
E: failed to mount / system (Invalid argument)"
i tried to install TWRP, but still fail,its said:
"FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"
and as last resort i even try to tick "NAND erase all" but i just got the same result as above either with China and HK with PIT, with singular or full installation...
i've been working on this phone for several days and now kinda got confused.
1. i dunno how to disable this FRP (my phone no longer able to boot, so the developer option is out of question) is it possible with odin?
2. or is it because E: failed to mount? but i even try Nand erase all yet still no result.
3. or wrong firmware? i tried it all China and HK with PIT & re-partition, still no result.
4. is there a way to wipe everything and erase this FRP thingi ? ( i have tried to wipe all from recovery too) :crying:

Looks like judging from your screen shots
1. You are trying to flash F firmware onto a U device. Exynos to snapdragon. Will cause you issues.
2. You will need Odin ( or patched Odin ) 3.13.1 or higher
3. You will need a binary ( bootloader ) version 5 or higher.
Just download latest firmware from sammobile

phone was sold as F model , it has all stickers saying its F model
here it looks like an F firmware installed https://ibb.co/ggCYYkN
but its a U model ?
so for next time what is the right way to get the real device model ?

There are many guides on the internet regarding to phone authentication and about refurbished phones.
On your S8, since it doesn't have a removable battery, on the back, down the bottom, should show model no. etc. engraved on it ( not stickers ).
On the back it will also show iIMEI + serial number. Compare it to what it say's on the phone ( about phone + *#06# ) to the back engraving.
There are websites that can check your IMEI number to give you various information about the phone.
Buying a phone from the internet ( eg: eBay etc.) using the IMEI can be used as a way to check the phone.
i just got one more device from a local store , it's not official retailer of samsung , its from a paralel imports
and its the same ****
firmware box and stickers say SM-G950F
recovery say SM-G950U, i didn't tried to flush because i cant get the OEM unlock.
BTW is it possible to downgrade this device to android 8 ?
image uploader
so if i understood right i should be able to flush this firmware on this phone
G950USQU5CRL2
?

In download mode it will have a line with PR SWREV
The number after the B is your binary ( bootloader ) number.You will need to flash this number or higher. You can not downgrade binary numbers.
Depending on what firmware you flash U or U1 you may need patched Odin.

Binary ( bootloader ) is the 5th number from the right of the firmware ( in the above post it's 7 )
e.g.:G950USQU5CRL2 - 5 is the binary number.
The letters/numbers after the binary number will tell you version ( security patch ) issue information but is easier to check the date of the firmware from the website you are downloading from.
thank you @spawnlives i really appreciate this
