Hello guys,please make sure you activate OEM UNLOCK in the developer options before you root your Android device with FRP installed. otherwise you risk to get into a bootloop after trying to boot into recovery due to FRP blocks custom binaries
have u tried using kies and using tools/firmware upgrade and putting your model number in and flashing with stock ? have you tried using odin and doin the same ?

I am downloading the stock ROM now it takes a while. But how the hell can google tell me what i have to install and wehat not when i paid the phone? I am so pissed, its unbelievable. **** google and **** Samsung for letting this assholes do this.
Ok KIES does not even recognize my phone. The mworse is, it would start if it would not try to start into recovery. is there any option to remove the "recovery bit" or something like that and make the phone start normal and not into the recovery? That is my problem.
k now it is definately bricked, after i triedto flash a stock rom it says an error ocurred while recovery an i shall use smart switch but smart switch says unsupported device, i can not believe thishappened because of a google feature which no one asked for and they brick a device i bought for 800 bucks
OK FIXED, i had to flash via ODIN the Origin ROM, in my case the phone came from Italy and the Provider was TIM, it took me 7 Euro to download at Sammobile full speed and got it in 5 minutes.
Can be closed
I am in the same situation. I tried using the Recovery method with smart switcher or ODIN to flash the stock firmware but I am still stuck in a boot loop. I cannot access recovery at all and cannot install as the lock protection is on. Any other suggestions? I wasn't trying to root my phone it just decided to shut off and not boot up again.
this is quite concerning as i purchased my phone from Amazon Italy as it was cheaper than anywhere else but i was unable to root despite following the steps but i discovered it was because of the FRP, but i don't want a situation like this to happen, any more tips would be good, preferably without having to spend money from sam mobile too.

Im having the same problem. I can only access the download menu on the phone and all of my many attempts to flash or recover it failing with the phone saying "custom binary (recovery) blocked by FRP lock". I only know a limited amount about the rooting scene but if anyone could post a rom or something that would fix this or a method to remove the lock even with the smallest chance of success I definitately would give it a try(maybe a step by step as well please ) . Again there is no way i can see how to access anything on the device. My phone is the SM-G928W8 from Canada with Telus. Anything is worth a shot so if you have any ideas id love to hear them, thank you everyone :fingers-crossed:

YOu need to find a stock ROM, this will be the hardest part. AFter you have it, flash via ODin and the problem will be solved, i had the same problem. But you have to hurry because FRP also locks the charging of the battery so once you run out of battery you need to bring it to a technician.

I spent the money because i needed it quick, if you download a stock ROM and have it left you can go ahead. YOu can download at SLOW MODE for free at sam

Check if you have the right stock ROm, it needs to be exactly the same country and provider. There is unfortunally no other way to remove FRP but booting the phone and remove the google account
can be deleted, i thought it works like on other subforums that new posting willl be added
please delete
Is it true that the battery doesn't charge after it's FRP locked? So the missing W8 firmware even if it comes eventually when the battery is dead the phone is dead? How in the hell are we supposed to fix this with no firmware available on sammobile?! Is there really no other way? Who has the firmware? Do the carriers have it?

The battery is not locked (as far as I can tell), my phone got the lock when it was fully dead and while I was charging it and it seemed to have a charged battery after I unplugged from charging for awhile but there was no actual way to check. As for the firmware you will just have to wait for it my friend, that is the same firmware I needed and as of just now they still don't have it available on sammobile. Sorry man and best of luck
Needed? Did you end up getting the phone fixed by someone or send it back in to Samsung?
No I didn't get it fixed I sent it back to the phone company and paid a small fee rather than waiting for the firmware to be released.
Who was your phone company? I'm wondering because I can't seem to find anyone to help. I even contacted the local Samsung service center who deals with Telus and they told me that they could replace the mainboard but woudlnt flash the firmware or otherwise fix it. So that was rather useless I'm essentially buying a new phone.

Absolutely right, if the battery runs out, you are lost. Then you have to bring it to the Samsung Service, they will fix it for you, if you pay of course..because KNOX will be void. The only way to avoid this is to remove your google account from the phone or enable under Developer Settings the OEM UNLOCK. Then FRP is disabled. But if you forgot and are now in a bootloop you have a real problem because as i have seen the W8 Firmware is not available on sammobile.

My battery ran out but the phone is actually still working. When I plug it in via USB it powers up. It doesnt' actually charge the battery, but this will work for Odin. Now I just need to find someone to dump the stock firmware for me...
Any updates on a firmware?
If you need to go to stock then have you tried to boot I to download mode and use smartswitch reinstall feature?

hello guys,
sorry for the bad english hope everything will be clear.
so i got my new phone 4 -5 month ago.
and my friend rooted it for me (mainly cus of the pokemon go hack), i didnt know the actual risk of rooting so i let him.
when i stoped playing pokemon go and found that that rooting ur device will remove the warrenty from my device i wanted to unroot it.
so i restore to factory settings thinking that it will remove the root, only like a week later i have read that restore to factor settings dos not remove root
so basicly now i want to unroot my phone so it wont cus demage to my warrnty.
i dont know much abut how he rootted my iphone i know he used a youtube video named: Pokemon Go Cheat/Hack for Android - Use a Joystick, WORKS on v0.35.0! ( new users can add links so i coulnt add a link to the youtube video but if u copy and past the youtube video name u could get to the actual video)
and on the descrition it sais This cheat/hack requires an Android device with root & Xposed installed. so im guessing this is what he did.
also i want to note that when useing root checker app it sais - sorry! root access is noy proberly installed on this devices
pleas could u guys help me with guides and tuturials on how to unroot my phone after it has been reset to factory settings so my warrenty wont go off its a new phone =D
ty ty ty

odim mode
download speed : fast
product name: SM-G935F
cuarent binary: custon
system status: custom
fap lock: off
secure donwload :enabled
warenty void : 1 (0x020c) - - - - dos that mean my warranty is off?
ap swrev : b:1 k:0 s:0
With 3rd party insurance, which is usually cheaper anyways, they don't care about KNOX... In fact, Protect My Bubble didn't even make me send back my phones.... So to hell with Knox flag trips and get some better insurance.

ok and regarding the fact that root checker sais its not rooted but when u look on the download details it depfenatly suggest its rooted..
what to do to fix that?
Once rooted its irreversible
Your bootloader is unlocked. This is not reversible, and voids the warranty. No way back i'm afraid. You can certainly remove root from your phone. Thats what i did, to be able to use ota´s. In your case this does not matter though, your warranty is still void.

how do i safly remove the root cus i'v heard odin thing is very risky and if something goes worng the phone can get ****ed up
actually, using Odin is very safe. Just follow instructions very carefully, make sure it's for your model number and double check. Go to www.sammobile.com, go to the 'Firmware's' section., type in your model number and search for your country's firmware and download.
Install USB Mobile phone driver. Get Odin. Go into your phone's settings and turn 'ON' USB debugging. Plug your phone to PC with a good quality cable, preferably the one that came with your phone. Don't plug into a USB hub though. Go into Odin download mode (volume down, Home + Power buttons). When you got the BLUE ID:COM box lighted up, it means that it can read your phone so your drivers are all good. Then click on the AP button, browse for the file you got from Sammobile (remember that it must be the same Model as your one ok, any country is fine, just make sure that sm-g935F is for sm-g935F etc). click Start. it should reboot a few times itself and when it says Done, your phone should boot into Android and you go through the setup all over again, losing all data in the process, but you will have a brand new unrooted, error free phone that can get updates OTA. True, your Knox counter will still say 0x1 void, but most warranty don't check that. As long as it says 'Official' which you will have once you flash the stock firmware. hope this helps...
Hi there! I've always been a Samsung user and I'm familiar with chainfire rooting method, Odin, the damn knox and all the tools that people need to achieve the beloved full control of our phones.
Let's go straight to the point: I need to buy a new phone for a friend of mine and the P9 Lite seems the most complete and suitable but I've read that if you unlock the bootloader and root it you obviously loose your warranty. The phone is unrootable by flashing a fresh OS image, but the bootloader will stay unlocked, tripping the useful warraty.
Is there any damn way to revert everything to stock in case there should be the need to send the phone to the customer service?
Thanks for the infos!

You can relock the bootloader if you reinstall a stock rom and revert to stock recovery, just fyi... Also there have been reports that the warranty is not void if the issue was not caused by a faulty software. Also if you are new to Huawei, be careful. And READ! A lot of people don't read, and mess up their phone...
Instead of making a new thread about the same issues I'll pitch in here too. What is the safest way to root and unroot in case of warranty? LIke the OP I came from the Samsung ecosystem too but I get the feeling if I don't at least ask about Huawei's one I'll probably **** something up.

Simply flashing stock rom will lock bootloader but Huawei have your data of unlocking bootloader.

Huawei says they "could" apply fee on unlocked phones. Maybe relocking it restores warranty? I tried to ask them but damn Chinese they don't reply.
They could, but the chance of that happening is really low, especially if your device is 100% bricked, and it needs a motherboard swap

If it's hardbricked and bootloader is unlocked and the problem is not related to bootloader or a process you made that requires unlocked bootloader, I think they won't fee you because it has nothing to do with bootloader. But of course a company will always choose cheaper way. If a phone goes download mode or fastboot mode it's already saved anyway.

I wish... I can't seem to be able to save mine, even though it shows up on fastboot on the pc. The phone itself won't turn on at all. I can't seem to lock the bootloader either, anything I flash now seems to have no effect. I just hope the Huawei service fixes it.

If you have access to fastboot mode, you can flash anything. You dont have to flash an img permenantly if you want to save your phone. Use
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
you can boot your recovery without rooting your phone. You can even open your custom recovery and flash your system.img or stock boot.img.

I tried fastboot flash boot boot.img (and similarly, recovery.img, system.img, any partition I could flash, multiple times with multiple files) but the phone did not boot at all. Not even into the bootloader nor recovery. It was completely unresponsive. Now the phone is not in my hands so any suggestion is too late...
If my bootloader was unlocked and had Fulmics Rom on my LG g6, would LG repair a cracked screen if it were to be broken?
LG G6 H870
They will be assholes about it.
I do a lot of repair work for Samsung, Apple, Sony and LG and all of them will try and get out of a warranty repair.
Just be safe and backup to SD, flash stock, lock BL and send off for repair.
When you get it back use the all-in-one tool to unlock and restore backup.

Oh fair enough, also 99% time they wont fix a cracked screen, as they don't crack on their own. If it was blank or non responsive they might.
They would never repair a damaged screen, with or without bootloader unlock.
But if you have a problem with your phone that is covered by the warranty, don't forget to re-lock your bootloader before sending it.
Ok thanks for your help again!
This is a long story but I'll try to make it brief, I bought a used ascend xt and I've never rooted it or anything. When I tried to send it in to fix the sd card slot huawei said that the phone has been rooted so they can't attempt a repair. It's def not rooted but I'm thinking maybe the previous owner unlocked the bootloader at some point, I just want to check if it's that's the case so I can finish the root and do what I want with it

I think the only way to tell is put the phone in fastboot. It should say something like 'Phone Relocked, FRP Lock' if the orignial owner re-locked the bootloader after converting it back to stock
Hope this is helpful.

i finally got around to and it says phone locked, frp lock which i assume means the bootloader has never been unlocked. im really confused as to why huawei will not repair my phone. if i knew this would happen i wouldve rooted my phone before
