[RECOVERY FAILED TO FLASH] please help! Please! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hai all! Thank you for reading!
God knows how many hours I'm loosing around this stupid problem: I've a G900F @ lollipop 5.0, I poot in download mode, connect ODIN, all is ok. It uploads and phone says SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery.
Yes, yes, I've USB debug turned on, and as well the Samsung Reactivation Lock is unchecked! I also tried to check it (need to register to samsung) to then uncheck it.
Somewhere I read to "enable OEM unlock" in settings, but I can't find this setting anywhere!
I can't install ANYTHING under boot loader, everytime I've a fail.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung official
SYSTEM STATUS: official
REACTIVATION LOCK (KK): OFF
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery
I tried flash CWM, TWRP, different options, the phone simply doesn't want to accept the recovery!
What can I do? I'm really pissed off, I also tried to install TWRP from phone by rooting it, may applications around and all of them failed!
Help please, help me!! Thank you

help please, I can't understand why the phone behaves in such way!
booting in samsung recovery I tried also to wipe cache and data, then after reconfiguration tried again to flash with odin, nothing

can the problem be connected to THE missing RSA pop up where it ask to always allow this computer? I can't see that popup! Damn I'm becoming mad.. why so complicated!

may chances are that the firmware 3.4.0 inside has been modified/uploaded to avoid any update?

Go to cwm recovery mount and stored format data/media sdcard NOT extsdcard and try flash again tq.

thanks for answer, already did, the phone booted up and asked all the silly questions after first boot. Tried again after but nothing changed. I'm stuck in a big small issue..

You probably have the oem lock enabled at the moment. Use smart switch and try to do an emergency recovery. This will flash stock rom.
When you have successfully restored your phone. Enable developer settings. And unlock the oem tick

I tried many times.... both emergency and initalization fail with and error and downloading mode shows "SECURE CHECK FAIL : (BOOTLOADER) ... I flashed a CP file an hour ago and got myself to recovery, but it fails to mount system with a lot of other mount fails... please help
I think it's cause I didn't set up secure start up and i think i disabled oem unlock and usb debugging, but usb works just fine... and didn't delete google account... but still I shouldnt be locked out so badly, I can't do anything... I can't flash via odin cause frp... mannaged to flash a BL and a CP file and nothing else. Still can't boot or flash AP or CSC cause of frp-fap or w/e it is... and recovery doesn't help since system is empty or non existant... not sure.. pls help
If you got yourself tor recovery. Do a full wipe there. It will disable the protection on it if I'm correctly. Try that step.
You said you could flash the bl. Doest it pass or fail when you try the same thing with a complete rom?

When I do a wipe data/factory reset it cleans everything but has an error / E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument) can't mount '/system', rc = '-1' (Invalid argument) and then data wipe complete...
tried to mount the /system as well, and again e:failed to mount...
As for the flashing a rom all together doesn't work, almost all images files are denied by FRP - FAP w/e it is.... with a green msg in downloading mode "Custom Binary (your img here) Blocked by FRP/FAP Lock ... recovery.img,boot.img, system.img etc... , only can flash CP and BL, BUT the BL file that I can actually flash is from a SM-G935F_BTU_G935FXXU1APC8, my stock firmware which is german vodafone's latest ( G935FXXS1BPI8_G935FVFG1BPH1_VD2) BL, AP and CSC can't be flashed with odin ... BL fails with Secure Check Fail (bootloader) as does it fail in smart switch program.
My model number is SM-G935F ...and RF8H61YE4CP for S / N or what ever it was, too tired, I've been trying to fix the phone for 16 straight hours... pls help
My main problem is that Smart Switch can't restore, it stops at 0% installing phase, since the BL ie the bootloader can't be installed. the download screen says in red SECURE CHECK FAIL : (BOOTLOADER) i'm 99% if I manage to somehow make smart switch install the bootloader ie the first thing it wants to install, everything else would fly since smart switch ignores the FRP/FAP , or so I heard. pls help guys there must be a solution hiding somewhere...

If smart switch can't restore it the I'm out of options. Smart switch basic forces permission to restore the system.
Flashing a different bootloader isnt going to do anything if I'm correct. If the system and data image is intact you could try to flash the bootloader that goes with that rom.
That way it might boot and you would need to enter your Google credentials.
I messaged you a link to rootjunky with a bypass in the front. You might want to try that.
Otherwise you could try to flash a different recovery ( Philz?) that might gain access to the image.
If the data and system image is wiped. Then the only thing you can work with is odin.
I have no knowledge of adb, don't know if there are some options with sideload

After a good night sleep, today I tried to flash the same AP as y-day and it worked. I successfully unbricked my s7 edge. The FRP/FAP lock that didn't let me flash probably had a timer and today it let me. Thank you god, and thank u guys for trying to help me.
Good to hear that you got it up and running. The frp lock was 3 days first. Well at least the Google credentials section. But after many customer support has been rolled back to 24 hours

So which firmware should i download now? (I AM NOOB PARDON MY ENGLISH). Also is there any fix for this error message? Without flashing the whole device? I tried going into download mode and selecting restart from there but it didnt work for me. Thanks in advance.

[GUIDE] Root For Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro SM-J530F

Here's another rooting guide for SM-J530F/DS (Dual Sim) stock ROM. Even with Lineage OS my hardware model (ordered March 2018, EU SIM card only) tends to mute the main speaker after rooting. This rooting method works for me and is based on the work of others, especially ananjaser1211 and Abdullah_a86.
Make a backup of everything and make sure that the backup is usable. You are responsible if following this description and flashing bricks your phone. It did work for me which does not mean that it also works for you.
Enable Developer options. (Settings, About phone, Software information, tap a few times on Build number)
OEM unlock the phone. (Settings, Developer options, OEM UNLOCK: enable - otherwise you will bootloop)
Reboot into download mode.
Flash J530F_TWRP_3.2.1.0.tar (in AP) with Odin.
Now TWRP is installed and you should be able to use your phone as usual or to boot into TWRP recovery.
Rooting will erase everything, verify your backup again unless this is a new phone.
Reset the phone. (Open Settings, About Phone, (Looking for something else?) RESET, Factory data reset, Reset, DELETE ALL)
Reboot into recovery, a cleanup script will run and reboot after a few seconds.
Reboot into recovery again, install SuperSu and reboot (wipe nothing).
Starting takes a little time, after running the initial setup SuperSU is installed and the speaker works as expected.
I started here a few times after no-sound, no-root and/or bootloop experiences with LineageOS, CF-Autoroot and Magisk. If you upgrade to this firmware version you can no longer downgrade to a previous firmware version. Follow this only if you break something, want to un-root, update your firmware and/or start from scratch:
Force a reboot if necessary and then boot into download mode. All data on the phone will be lost.
Flash the J530FDBT2ARB3 firmware with Odin (AP*, BL*, CP* and CSC*. Do not use HOME_CSC*).
Now you have again a phone with stock firmware without root.

I think this might fix you booting into download mode problem try this post. Read "how to fix" near the bottom. Please Thank us if it does. This same thing happened to me and I wish I stumbled across this earlier because I figured this out on my own by just messing around going from recovery to download mode and it eventually fixed itself.

Galaxy J5 J500F bricked after loading a custom ROM and closing OEM

Hello,
Recently I have rooted my samsung galaxy J5 SM-J500F phone. Next I opened OEM and enabled USB debugging, and then flashed TWRP with Odin. All went well, made a full backup (i.e. all the options were selected). I have stored the files on my PC, and then foolishly closed the OEM and USB debugging. Some time after I restarted my phone and I was met with the "Custom Binary blocked by FRP" screen. I could not boot into recovery, the only screen accessible was the download screen. I have hunted for a few firmware files, tried to flash them all to no avail. They are either being blocked by the FRP, or the "secure check fail" error (when trying to flash the PIT). I would like to
a) Repair the phone (my personal files can be deleted, no need for me to keep anything)
b) Prevent this issue for recurring (perhaps by disabling this FRP permanently in some way if possible)
Thanks in advance.
