so i got my hands on a s6 edge plus live demo unit. so i decided to root it but that failed, then i installed a custom rom and it worked. so i tried to install xposed so i booted my phone into recovery mode but i had an error message that said about the frp lock, but now when i boot my phone it keeps booting to recovery mods and i can't boot it normally. so i searched the internet and found nothing, so i tried myself but i got my phone in an akward situation now... when i boot it up i immedtiatly get a screen saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". i tried that but it said my device wasn't compatible and even with Kies and Kies 3 i had the same message. and when flash anything with odin even the stock files it says it failed and my phone says that frp lock thingy again... so can anyone help me please because i really want that phone to keep...
Hi everyone, my G935F doesn't turn on at all and when I try to flash stock it's always "Custom Binary (RECOVERY) Blocked By FRP Lock".
Can't get into Recovery, when I try to reboot I get "Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" which doesn't work as well.
It seems that EVERYTHING is a Custom Binary and I can't flash anything at all. I was able to get to Recovery once and there was a red "dm-verity failed" line.
Is there anything I could try?

smart switch will work but you need to use the emergency initialization feature.
open smart switch, click more, emergency initialization.
click the second tab and then enter your phone which is SM-G935F hit search
then enter your model serial number which was on sticker on he back of the phone or where ever you have put that sticker for safe keeping.
then it start.
it talks between 5 - 10 minutes before your phone reboots. unfortunately you will lose any data that is not backed up to the cloud or your gmail account.
Use Smart Switch. Put your device in Download Mode. in the smart switch use emergency feature. then wrote down your model number just like this SM-G935F.. Check the back of your mobile. it's written there. Then give serial number it's already there. Then follow the instructions. Downloading will start. And boom it will take minutes to hours depending on your connection. Don't use Odin method. It's useless.
Thanks everyone. I know this has been discussed but as I mentioned previously Smart Switch doesn't work. Emergency initialisation stays at 0%, I've waited for more than an hour, says the same thing - blocked by frp lock.

Try a full wipe in recovery then try emergency again in Smartswitch.
If this still fails you may need a repair by samsung service center

Can't get to recovery, as I mentioned before.
KNOX is tripped by now, obviously, so I don't think Samsung will accept it.
Smart Switch tries to flash BTU so I've also tried downloading BTU and flashing HOME file via AP in Odin like the guy in the other thread suggested but it doesn't help - flashing is still blocked by FRP.
I'm starting to think I have a rather messed up phone on my hands right now.
Some progress here - was able to flash PIT file and flash up to system - now I get "Custom Binary (SYSTEM) Blocked By FRP Lock".

then the smart switch method should now work.
I have had that message a number of times and was able to restore with smart switch emergency feature.

It didn't, unfortunately. Have you had any problems with Smart Switch at all or it restored everything in the first run?

i have no problem with smart switch and started 1st time.
If you are using smart switch emergency feature it will not connect to smart switch, emergency feature is a stand alone app that does not need to connect smart switch to your phone.

then you have a hardware issue with the memory chip it is not keeping the firmware after rebooting.
It sends you back into a boot loop which should not happen.
Don't connect your phone with Smartswitch. Just open Smartswitch go to the emergency mode. Select it. Enter your Model number which is on your back of phone. Then it will ask you about serial number. which is also on the back of your phone. Then follow instructions

It's that, most likely. Nothing helps at this point.

I did exactly that, many times: "Custom Binary (SYSTEM) Blocked By FRP Lock"
Hello, i got Frp lock text, tried going to download mode and flashing a stock firmware, when my phone goes halfway throught it restarts and goes into download mode, now it messed up my boot and stuff and it only shows that "An error has occured while updating the device software.
Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
I can't flash it, it keeps rebooting, please help, thank you.
Use kies 3 and under tools select "software upgrade" put in your serial number and model then follow the steps it should work.
Make sure you don't grab or touch the phone when connected to pc because Odin is finicky like that.
Hi guys, I've been looking on the forums and i didn't find a way to solve my problem, my Samsung J5 J500m has the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" screen. I've tried both smart switch and Samsung kies and it hasn't worked, the thing is that i don't have the "depuration usb" on, nor the eom unblocked, the phone interal memory is almost full and i don´t have any custom recovery such as twrp or others.
If anyone knows how to solve this or can send me to the right thread i would really appreciate it

You don't need usb debugging or oem unlocked to recover your phone. Smart switch's emergency recover detector isn't that reliable sometimes it doesn't detect devices in emergency recover mode. However there should be a second tab in smart switch to recover your phone. It's "device initialization", device initialization works similar like odin. If you don't have this tab then you probably installed a newer version of smart switch. If that's the case follow this instruction:
1. Uninstall current installed smart switch from your pc
2. Download this ealier version of smart switch from samsungs official download center.
3. Install it. Once you run smart switch you might get a pop up screen to update to the latest smart switch version: don't update it!!. press cancel.
4. Now reinstall usb drivers in smart switch: more > reinstall device driver. Make sure to disconnect your cable first.
5. if finished, locate to More > Emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization
6. There is a section to enter your model name, enter SM-J500M. Press search.
7. Now you need to enter your serial number. As you can't access your phone to view your serial number, you can still find it printed on your phone packaging or behind your device's battery. Enter your serial number in S/N section. Press confirm. Note: New devices don't support "device initialization" but your device should be still supported
8. Now you should see a pop up window where you see something like "initialized version". Press Ok and let smart switch recover your device. You should see a bar appearing on your device screen. If you press "ok" be warned! this step will wipe all your data on your internal storage!
9. After it's finished your device should boot normal again.
Good Luck! :fingers-crossed:
It says "this devices don't support device initialization"
Thanks anyway,

Can you access odin mode (volume down + home button + power button to boot to odin mode)?
If yes, flash a stock firmware for your device using odin. You can download stock firmwares from SamMobile, SamFrew or Updato. Make sure you run Odin as administrator
Thank you, it worked!! :victory::victory:
i was trying whit a sammobile firmeware, i supose it was the wrong one, thanks for sending me the right one
Was flashing original firmware on to Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T377AZKAATT using Odin3 to bypass FRP lock, it said that flashing failed. I restarted device. Now I have an error page saying; "An error has occured while updating the software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." Didn't back up device or have Smart Switch installed on PC before flash. Smart Switch says that device isn't compatible with Smart Switch. What can I do? Please help.

Well I flashed the original recover file with Odin3 and repaired the error screen. Now my device boots normally to the device setup. However now it is still Google FRP Locked. Can anyone provide me with how to bypass this. The device is running on Android 6.0.1 factory firmware. I have tried all my frp lock software I have found for my Windows 7 PC. Please help.
