G928I - Options for Xposed, Root. - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a NZ G928I out of the box NZC (2Deg) Im currently running stock firmware, 6.0.1 G928IDVU2BPC3_G928INZC2BPD1_G928IDVU2BPD3_HOME.tar
I have tried but failed to root the phone. Firstly the FRP lock was an issue. Was solved by resetting the phone, wiping cache. Installing firmware and not logging into any accounts or securing the device.
After that the root was functional, I added my google account and a few others then the FRP locked decided to enable itself and it was soft bricked. Couldnt be solved so i reset it again and let it be.
Reset and downloaded latest VNZ firmware and flashed, Been using it all this week and the phone wont go into deep sleep.
So i installed the firmware as stated above. Seems to be OK now.
Where do i go from here, I want to run xposed and have a rooted device.
Cheers

MMB29K.G928IDVU2BPC3 is the build CF auto root is based on.
Which matches my phone build.

Do you have "allow OEM unlocking" selected in developer options?

It should work, i've never had trouble with custom roms and xposed. Last i checked (3 months ago) you have to use the wanam custom build with the s6+

Just make sure you backup in recovery incase it doesnt work

Device status - custom - after upgrading to android 5 on note 3 n 9005

Hello to everyone.
I have a note 3 , N 9005. I rooted it at some point then i reset it to factory settings because the banking app and other apps did not work anymore. Yesterday I did flash the new android 5, which I downloaded from xda forum.
Everything went smooth, I was hoping the device status - custom message will go away with the new official firmware installation.
It still shows the same.
I tried the unmount sd card, wipe cache and restart with no success. I have also erased all data on the sd card (32 GB samsung).
How can I have my device status set to ''official'' so I can receive updates automatically?
When will there be a root method for android 5 ?
Thanks so much for your time.
Hamza

TIMMAAA...
You can set your system to official by using wanam xposed in the xposed installer. using wanam set systemb to official. Then request the update. Wait until it downloads then use odin to reinstall custom firmware. Then let the ota install. It will put you back to your original kk then it will download lollipop again. You cash also go back to fill in root by using odin to install factory firm ware. Keep an eye on it because after the firmware installs it will reset. As soon as it goes from boot to loading the rom pull the battery before any of your information gets in to the new firmware. P ut the battery back in hit vol up + menu + power in the stock recovery click factory reset let it load. Check out your factory set system then come back here and click thank you.
Hey dude,
I upgraded my Note3 to 5.0 and kept root. If you're still on KK you can install Xposed framework and install the Wanam module. You have a option in that module to "fake" the STATUS message to OFFICIAL. I can assure you that it works, but you can upgrade with MobileOdinPro and still have a rooted 5.0 Note3. The steps are easy, but with a search on google I'm sure you will be okay. If you still don't manage to find anything, you can PM me and I'm sure I can help.
Hi again to everyone. My device is not rooted now. I unrooted when I was still on kit kat because the mobile banking app did not work and other apps too.
I tried to root it using CF autoroot for android 5. It said fail .
That is the message I got from Odin. The phone is not bricked, it still works normally.
I have done alot of search on google, I have not found anything which seems ok, just a post on a blog, and people commented below that they bricked their devices with that method so I did not do it.
Thanks to everyone for their advices and for taking the time to reply to my post.
Any more ideas please? Thanks.

Hi . Yes I know. I should have rooted when I was on kit kat, then upgraded through mobile odin pro, and I would have kept root.
Thanks for your reply.
Hello.
Updates are:
I have downgraded to the latest kit kat. Rooted it. I flashed lollipop using mobile odin pro. It went ok but I had no root . I do not know why.
I rooted using chain fire auto root. I am rooted now finally. I managed to get rid of all the crapware. My wi fi acts up. I need to log in everytime i restart the phone.
the wifi turns on but it does not remember to log in automatically. Any fix for that?
Also I can't se the device status to "official" by using wanam exposed. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

reactivation lock

I flashed XtreStoLite rom through custom recovery, everything went well. During the setup menus before entering the os it asked something about a reactivation lock. It sounded good so i turned it on. Next thing i know i cant boot into my custom recovery and i can't boot the phone. I put it in download mode flash the first thing i find with odin (it failed) but the phones boots. (I found this solution online)
There is no reactivation lock in settings but i can find it when i search settings. Needless to say when I disable the reactivation and search for it again it is still enabled.
Kies will not recognise it. There is no Samsung account of any kind in this rom. anything i've seen anyway.
When i try to factory reset through settings it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".
What do i do? pls help
the phone is an SM-G900F running the latest XtreStoLite_ROM_v2.2_LP_ with a custom touch recovery which i cannot access.
As far as some users who encountered this problem said... Flashing a stock ROM with the same build number through odin was able to fix this issue.

i did that everything works fine but i can't install a custom recovery or root and i cant turn off reactivation lock. its in settings now but when i deactivate it it asks me to login to my samsung account. i do that it signs in fine but it is still enabled.
Like I said Flashing a stock ROM with the same build number... What I meant was a ROM that wasn't prepackaged by any members of xda but instead was built from samsung. Perhaps try using Kies to factory reset your phone instead.
When reactivation lock is on you can't boot to recovery & can't debrand your phone. But that doesn't block your from reflashing a ROM with the same build number as your current custom ROM has.
So what you need to do is
1. Flash a full stock ROM.
2. Factory reset
3. From Setup wizard login your samsung account and other details and disable reactivation lock.
4. Install custom recovery and root your device again.

Back to Kitkat and disable.
Then upgrade to Lollipop and install the custom files.
thank you very much everybody! its working fine now!
i just downgraded to kit kat 4.4.2 logged in to my samsung account and disabled reactivation lock with no problems. i then update with ota and everything is fine until now!
thanks again!
On.my 900f s5 uk edition on lollipop the reactivation lock was in the security menu. I had to flash twrp using flashify as it locked my phone when using odin and the twrp app. Of course now I know to deactivate the lock first lol

I already had twrp when i flashed the custom rom and during the setup the custom rom asked to enable reactivation lock, it sounded good at the time..little did i know! next time i reboot the phone into recovery to flash the aroma addon package for the rom i used, it locked the phone down.
I had to flash something with odin to make it boot into the os, the flash failed but it did boot! then i flashed the stock kit kat 4.4.2 from sammobile, did the setup, logged in to my samsung account and reactivation lock disabled just fine! did the OTA updates then root, installed twrp recovery and installed the xtresto rom with the aroma addon package.
Everything seems to be fine now!
I'm in the same boat. I can't even factory reset and cannot turn of activation lock KK.
phone still works. i just can't access recovery. cannot use odin to push kitkat back.
cannot use TWRP either. i'm stuck.
Damn XtreSto Lite Rom...what the heck.
found a way. Download and install Kies 3 on your comp. Follow the Firmware upgrade and initialization. it'll flash back to stock. follow the instructions.
Omg took me forever to find this solution.

it seems that for some people kies works to recover the phone (for me it didn't) and for some odin works to push kit kat and disable reactivation lock
anyway am glad you fixed it
Flash something from odin. The flash will fail but the phone boots afterwards. Don't know why this works but it did for me and rocking above. Once booted turn off the reactivation lock.
Try to flash kitkat firmware original with bootloader end pit file for ur device model you find in xda
What worked for me!!
Had the same problem. The rom locked me out. (reactivation lock was activated)
I flashed the stock LOLLIPOP firmware i got from sammobile using odin, the KITKAT firmware does not flash.
Logged into the phone with my original samsung account.
Removed that account from the device
Created a new samsung account from the computer.
Added that account to the device.
Turned of reactivation lock, and viola!! it worked
do i need to downgrade to kitkat just to make it work? remote control and reactivation lock? before im using stock rom rooted but still doesn't work. then i tried custom rom it's working but the only problem is private mode is failed to enable. then i switch to another custom rom then almost perfect but the remote control and reactivation lock is not working.
Just letting people know:
I had the same issue as OP, except that when I was locked in the first time setup thing, trying to log in with my Samsung account credentials resulted in the error message "Processing failed". I tried the reactivation lock bypassing trick that takes advantage of the samsung default browser and acessibility settings (can be foun on YouTube) but it still didn't help because when I pressed to add a Samsung account, nothing happened. It was probably due to some of Samsungs files missing on my phone due to the previous XtreStoLite installation that I was originally updating when I got into this mess.
What fixed it for me was flashing the stock 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sammobile with Odin and THEN doing the reactivation lock bypassing trick. Just downgrading to KitKat and trying to login normally in the first time setup thingy didn't work as it resulted in the same "Processing failed" error as before on Lollipop. You guys have no idea how happy I was when I booted to download mode and saw "REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF". I had already lost almost all hope! :victory:
i have a more sexy problem ! i don`t have the reactivation lock option on website not even on my phone....! how to disable it ?

Reactivation Lock

HI im new here, and also I do have realy new problem.
my phone is: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F)
Stock Android 5.0
Problem Explain:
Reactivation Lock, that I accidentally activated was enablad on custom rom XtreStoLite. The biggest problem is that I did not activate my Samsung Account when I enabled it, and now I have stock firmware non -rooted Android 5.0 installed via Kies
I watched couple of youTube videos, but with no luck, I also send message to FindMyMobile but no luck as well.
When I logging to FindMyMobile, I can lock screen, ring to my device, acctually I can do everything except enable and disable reactivation lock.
Please I do realy need help with this
Same problem here.. Can't find reliable solution. Went back to stock ROM and tried to disable it and it didn't work
Downgrade to KitKat, log into accounts on phone, disable reactivation lock has worked for a few people
Thank you for help

Downgrade by Odin you mean?
if yes, then that is imposible, becase in ODIN MODE says: "REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): ON"
i will try that one, but i guess it will not work.

Yes via ODIN, people have reported success with that method, some with KIES
Fixed
Thank you sooooo much, but I had little problem. So I will explain step by step what I have done.
1. Odin 3.10.6 + Stock Firmware KitKat 4.4.2
2. In options I leave checked F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot
3. After it's done, I stuck in boot logo so
4. Switch phone off and go to recovery mode
5. wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition
6. Reboot device and, yes. system is booted
7. Then after setting up I went to Settings>Security>Reactivation Lock (but I did use Mobile Data, don't know about WiFi)
8. DONE!
PS. You can upgrade your android via Kies from 4.4.2 to 5.0

Samsung SM-T580 FRP Lock

Hi everyone !
I'm actually working in an IT centre (Don't know how to call that, or to traduce to you), and I just got a customer who handed me a Samsung SM-T580 tablet who is FRP locked... I've been searching since 3 days now, trying various methods, even trying a downgrade to other versions, but no luck. I've searched on XDA to see if anyone has got the same problem, but everyone has a different build number, as mine is T580XXU2AQA2. I've seen that if the 3 finals letters/number are PG1, I'm in luck, but if they're PL4, I'm unlucky. But what about QA2 ? And what about the FRP Lock on this build ?
Thanks for help, as I begin to lose hope...

Before attempting to flash ANY ROM on a T580, you have to enable "OEM unlock" in the /Setup/Developer options. If you don't, the way to unbrick the tablet is by using the Samsung Smart Switch app via a PC.

I can't do anything as I had the tablet already locked :/ I can just access the recovery and the download mode (As well as the normal boot, but it is pointless here).
I already flashed a stock ROM via Odin, and it worked fine as it was the same version in the tablet

Try it, if you can get the Assist then it will work as you can open Chrome to download Google Account Manager to add you own Google account and do the factory reset or just keep it as you are the owner now, taking full control of the tablet.

If you can go to Setting and enable the OEM Unlock, you're not FRP lock and in owner account.
FRP ( Factory Reset Protection ) is a secured method from Google prevents anyone to continue in the settings without passing the verified account steps.
Without the previous synced account ID and password, it will keep you in a loop in the setting steps.

Obviously it is to late for the OP to change to "OEM enable" setting. I was merely pointing out the cause of the problem. But it also seemed apparent that the Google account settings are unknown.
I bought a tablet on eBay that had this problem and was able to get it working using Samsung Smart Switch run from a PC connected to the tablet in the download mode.

You see this message because you're still at first page of sign in. Reset it: Power + Volume Up + Home you should get to the Recovery and do a Factory Data Reset.
If you already have original owner information, you shouldn't have any problem of setting the tablet at the step of verifying google account.
I have done FRP bypass on the SM-T580 at least 10 tablets a day, so I can say FRP of Google is a joke. I have to deal with FRP lock everyday and I only need 10 minutes to bypass it.
[EDIT] Damned font I misread FRP for FAP
Posted elsewhere, but as I'm getting rather anxious and as I'm waiting for DBT-T580XXU2BQE4-20170525170357.zip to download... I ended up with a FAP lock. I can't find out if there's any difference from FRP lock - is there any?
Also, about Smart Switch, do the instructions from https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34745 apply? Smart Switch tells me that the device is unsupported and I don't get the Device Initialization tab!
Thanks!
[EDIT2] FW downloaded. Tried to use Odin, but there are four options: BL/AP/CP/CSC. Yet the FW package has these entries:
AP_T580XXU2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
BL_T580XXU2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_OXA_T580OXA2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OXA_T580OXA2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
So which one is CP?
You only need to load BL, AP, and CSC, ignore the HOME_CSC, but it seems you're flashing the Android 7 build from Germany which no method works.
You need to downgrade to Android 6, region doesn't matter for the purpose of bypass FRP. When it's done, flash back to your original region in Android 7.
Cellular South PL4 is the build you can downgrade and bypass FRP.

First of all, thank you for your reply indeed.
Yes, I guess it was from Germany since German was its language when it first booted and it was 7.0.
So I'm downloading XAR-T580UEU2APL4-20170407113933.zip (Cellular South PL4) and flashing it with Odin, but once it's done, how do I flash 7 again? Use Odin with the initial BL/AP/CSC that I got?
Again, thank you!
[EDIT] Oh yeah, 6.0 flashed successfully and I'm off FRP lock!!!! Thanks so much... Now I guess I turn on OEM enable in Dev options and flash BL/AP/CSC in Odin?
No need to flash back if you want to keep current US build if it has your prefer language.
However, it's now US tablet, it only update the latest one from US build.
No need to turn on OEM unlock if you know your own Google ID and password.
If you like, flash the Europe build as it has more languages than US one, the same way as you downgrade firmware: load BL, AP, and CSC to Odin.
You're right. I was asking because I thought I'd have lost OTA, which was not the case - device updated OTA to 7.0 so I then proceeded and rooted it again. *Now* OTA is dead, but I'm good.
I was thinking, probably, than on Samsung devices tripping Knox would disable OTA.
Thanks for your reply once more
Tripping Knox doesn’t disable OTA but if the status of firmware is Custom, you won’t be able to update software. I have some tablets which have Knox count more than 1, they update normally because I run stock firmware

Yup! I'm learning by doing
I guess that having an official FW but custom recovery equals to Custom, correct? Which means if I reflash original OTA will be back?
In the setting, About Tablet, Status, if the device status is Official, you have no problem of update via OTA.
Or in Download Mode, if the System Status is Official. I believe your system is Custom if having custom recovery.
Rooted device will become Official if you flash back the stock firmware , however the Knox counting is not rolling back to zero.
Yup, I did know about Knox (that would defeat the purpose, right? ).
If I'm not mistaken flashing original FW will erase data, no? So I'll save it for when there's a decent Oreo ROM out there. Then again, it won't be Original even then so I guess I'm off that road, but I don't think Samsung will be releasing any new OTAs any time soon so there's no meaning in it, surely?

Help me flash stock ROM back please.

It all started when I rooted my phone (Samsung J5 2016 - SM-J510FN), installed TWRP through Odin, did a reset and flashed Extreme UX (9.0). Everything worked so as a noob I decide to turn off USB Debugging and OEM Unlock. I reboot my phone and get the message "Custom Binary blocked by FRP". So I decide to look up how to fix it. Kies didn't work so I go through sammobile and download the Stock ROM. I searched SM-J510FN and filtered for my country (Greece). I downloaded the first ROM I found and flashed it through Odin. I was really excited. Then I unlock my phone. I get dozens of popup messages of "x has stopped working" and the launcher wasn't working properly. I would appreciate any help. Is it a firmware problem? Should I do a hard reset and try installing stock again? Thanks.

Doing factory data reset should clear out those errors
Thanks for your answer. I don't really know how to do a factory reset because I can't access the device's settings.
Anyone that knows how to do a factory reset without accessing the device's settings?
