Since you can get into recovery mode have you tried to do
a "factory data reset" before trying to odin flash the phone?
Good luck,
Have a great day!

It's never a hard brick if you can get to recovery or download mode.

Of course I tried factory reset -_- even flashing Nougat and then Marshmallow again even tried to flash TWRP but FRP is on

While reflashing: try to flash full versuion with BL, CP etc. floowing hint from here.
For convenience, here is the link to BTU version with PIT file as well.
It should repartition your phone, put it to REAL factory setting, repairing in the way if something went wrong.
Of course, if you have got the phone legally, FRP shall not be a problem, you can ask the woner for a password?

Thanks I'll try that. By FRP i mean that OEM unlock isn't ticked in developer settings i don't care about google activation lock i just want device too boot if owner don't know his account thats not my problem he paid for fixing firmware so i assume he didn't stole that device

Nope still doesn't boot :crying:

I believe tat during flashing you have ticked repartition and showed Odin the pit file? Hehs...
Last resort: use this one.
It is called somewhere as "repair firmware", so it may do te job.
If not, I'm afraid that flashing 100% stock and sending it over to Samsung could be only option

Yes I did that with repartition and pit file unfortunately it has broken battery cover and little dent on front glass I know that it has nothing in common with firmware but Samsung wont fix it under warranty untill I pay for screen and back cover replacement so I guess it's paperweight now...
Anyway thanks for the link I will check this tomorrow at work

Still doesn't boot going straight to recovery with error shown on picture in post #1 :crying:

Go to settings>developers options
Then make sure the OEM unlock is ENABLED.
Never disable it.
Good luck,
Have a very happy new year.

If it cannot boot you need to Odin flash the official stock firmware in download mode before you can do anything else.
Good luck.

Odin flashing will not delete anything in your internal sdcard, it will delete the current rom.
For best results do a full wipe in recovery mode before Odin flashing the Samsung official firmware.

Before flashing do as Misterjunky said, but also you need to DELETE google account.on device.Only then in download mode it will show message FTP OFF.
Every time you flash ROM you need to delete google account.

In the firmware.tar.md5, I just saw that some guys crossed over the fail(soft brick) with flashing hidden.img etc, (or fail after cm.bin).. Hidden.img contains \\assets, Meta-Inf, org, res, AndroidManifest.xml, classex.odex, resorces.odex files// I think phone's fonts, banners, properties etc..

Flash stock rom with odin, factory reset and you are done. do not set up the phone with google account to turn it again on. flash recovery and your favorite rom.
Enable oem unlock so it prevents this from happening again.
Frp lock and Recovery not Seandroid enforced.
So I bought this S6 edge plus two days ago. Set up my google account, fingerprint lock and pin.
Inserted the pin 24 hours ago and I'm locked out. Stuck on the animation screen with a red inscription saying Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock.
Pressing the home+ power + lower volume button takes me to this interface I have noidea of.
Pressing the up button+ power+ home says Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforced.
Ps...It's been a while since I used android.
So my questions are
1. Which one is the hard reset and when does the 24 hours start?
2.What's with that interface?
3.WHat happens after my 24/72 hours?

Bricked my Galaxy S7 Edge: Odin stuck at initialization, Odin protocol version error.

Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I was trying to install a factory ROM for my Galaxy S7 Edge and during the process, I believe I went and flashed a wrong ROM file (I think it was Galaxy S6 Edge's).
Anyways, due to that, my phone is completely bricked (softbricked? because I can turn it on?).
The problem I'm having is that when I turn on the device normally, it will show the GALAXY S7 EDGE logo but then it'd go straight into recovery mode.
In the recovery mode, it'd say "dm-verity verification failed.. " , "E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)". Then when I press Apply update from ADB/SD Card, it gives an error saying "Update from external storage is disabled".
I am able to get into the download mode also and downloaded correct factory ROM and flashed it but it gives me an error saying "Odin protocol version error" in the phone, and in Odin, it stops at "Initializing..." and the program crashes after 5 minutes or so.
I there anything I can do to unbrick this dude? I've been searching all over the place yesterday and could't find a right solution for me so I decided to write one myself.
Thanks in advance and I'll appreciate any help.

First of all why were you trying to flash a stock Rom? Next its a piece of cake take it to your local warranty store and ask them to flash your stock ROM as long as you didn't try to root it they should fash it for you. I've done it many times. Just tell them you were charging it overnight and had it turned off and when you booted up the next morning it was going crazy.
As I said if you weren't trying to root they should do it for you.

Well now I couldn't flash any of the firmwares out there that I found. I kept on getting the same error stated above. It is usa at&t model.
Perhaps, is there a custom ROM and/or other steps you'd recommend me to try?
Thanks for your replies though, I appreciate it very much.

I will try what you have suggested. But isn't twrp only install-able when the phone is actually turned on to OS? As far as I've researched, I saw that it needs to have developer mode on.

i am not a dev mate just learn from observation lol but from other devices i have seen them bricked if thats not been allowed in dev options but i am not 100% sure on this one service center is probs you best bet as some one said earlier as am sure if thats not checked nothing can be flashed as that command allows it its like the bootloader is still locked kind of thing
I would take it a service repair center before messing it up anymore, just to be on the safe side, you never know with these things, yeah it might be fixable but if knox isn't voided then you can just have it repaired properly for free.

Forgot to activate OEM-Unlock for Root. Phone Bricked: "Custom binary blocked by FRP"

Forgot to activate OEM-Unlock for Root. Phone Bricked: "Custom binary blocked by FRP"
Hello,
today i rooted my J5 (SM-J500FN) via Odin and CF-Auto-Root.
Everyting went well but after the root i unticked OEM-Lock (please dont ask me why i did it) and restarted my phone and this nice screen greeted me: "Custom binary blocked by FRP. SECURE FAIL: KERNEL"
So I tried everything I found on the Web and found nothing really helpful. Then i tried flashing the recovery and reflashing CF-Auto-Root but both got blocked in the Download Mode with the message "FRP Block".
Please can someone help me, i really hope i dont have to reset my phone because my google authenticator is stored on it, and it would be a real pain to write to the support of every account i connected to reset my Security Options.
Thanks, Toby
P.S: when i flash the boot.img does it wipe my device?

Try using Smart Switch from Samsung to backup you stuff and accounts. Maybe it will work. Using Smart Switch you can also easily reflash the latest Marshmallow firmware.

I don't know about that... Try asking someine more experienced.
I do know that even in Recovery mode the ROM locks you out and doesn't let you factory reset for example

No it does not. You are not affecting the data partition.
This would only happen if you flashed the factory repair firmware.

Happy for you ^^
When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device
When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account

When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account

You only need to enter your login details if you factory reset.
Flashing the stock firmware is enough to remove frp. No need to factory reset.

Can you send the logs u get from odin? Also make sure u got the correct model of stock rom for ur device.
I also have frp lock om my phone. It will not boot past maim boot screen. I cannot install twrp due to cuatom binary blocked error. Adb doesnt recognkze my phone either. Odin does, i installed the stock firmware and still will not reboot. Any suggestions or thoughts?? I havent tried to turn oem yet via android studio. Currently in the middle of that. Please help

ok, get the firmware for your phone from sammobile.com but use samfirm or frija to download it, flash the firmware in Odin 9 time. yes, 9 times. try booting between flashes and itll go away by the 9th time. Not even kidding
9 time flashing. No chance. FRP lock is almost there.
Installed is G935FXXS6ESI4
What can i do ? Any Idea = Combination Firmware ?

not anymore. there was a patch that fixed the bug that allowed this to occur. Sammy is always right on our tails. now you need the combination firmware, which you flash in Odin as well then follow it up with the stock firmware from sammobile since the combination FW isnt really bootable (it is, but its weird lol)

I flashed the combination firmware. After that I flashed my stock firmware but now I get stuck on recovery screen. First it says "Erasing" and then the dead Android mascot shows up. Can't boot into system. Any suggestions? FRP Lock is still on and I can't flash TWRP, custom binary is locked by frp.
possible solution
Hi, how are you? I'm sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil and I'm using the ksks translator so with my j5 i used the frp hijacker (just put it on google) there you choose the phone model, put it in download mode, install the program on the computer, choose the model, check remove frp and a hijack it! and ready frp unlocked

tried it on another computer? Ive had that issue with my desktop/laptop(s). I never dug into what caused it to fail on the desktop vs working on a few laptops. Literally everything else works exactly as it should on the desktop so i just let it be an unresolved oddity. Likely not worth the time it would take to resolve. Anywho, try a different computer and/or diff cable. I just ordered an Anker cable from amazon and its thicker and more sturdy than the micro usb cable ive been hanging on to from my old blackberry tour. Cables are stupid cheap online these days, even for the very very good ones. Perhaps worth a shot, but i cant suggest that you spend money on anything. I can say that its what I would do.

SM-N9860 Soft Brick Recovery

Hi All,
I brick my SM-N9860, after playing with changing csc on TGY firmware I got to situation that my phone doesn't boot to system and I have FRP lock. Its stuck on download mode (attached pics).
Factory reset in recovery mode doesn't work and I cant flash new firmware with odin because of FRP lock.
Maybe some can help how can I resolve this issue?
I tried to flash combination file with pit file but I get error that there is a FRP lock. I wanted to try the option in recovery "Apply update with adb" but I cant find OTA file for SM-N9860.
From what I understood there is some boxes and dongles like Octoplus Pro Box that can reflash the phone and remove the FRP lock but maybe there is a solution easier than this that works with odin??
The problem is to make my phone to boot, than I could remove the FRP lock because my problem not the google credentials only that it not boot up after factory reset...

Try to look in maybe s20 ultra or s20 forum, they was released earlier and perhaps someone has already had this problem and solved it.

Why don't you just put your Samsung account and password in? Because that's what you need to do in order to turn off the frp.. If you're going to tell us you don't know the Samsung user account and password that's only going to make us think the phone is stolen because that's basically what frp is meant to do block people from using it or doing updates or factory resetting it to try to remove the frp.. All you need is your Samsung account and password..

Man are you serious?! I told you the problem not that I cant put my google or samsung credentials.. THE PHONE doesn't boot to the system at all can you understand this?! You can find me in another tread where I tried for cople weeks with guys from this forum to make our phone to work with native call record and reflash it many times with difrent firmware( CHC, TGY) and only one time I forgot to delete my google and samsung account before reflashing. So please dont tell me what you think, if you cant contribute to resolving and helping dont comment like you know something about me.

Can you do me a favor with a patched version of Odin or just try multiple different Odin versions and flash only the CSC, AP and BL. and yes this is going to factory reset it probably but at least you might have the phone back.. Is this an unlocked bootloader phone btw? Edit: Make sure you're flashing the correct BL AP and CSC that the phone originally came with. Edit: Can you tell me what the last firmware was that you had on it?

I will try it, the phone is unrooted and with locked bootloader like it came from factory with no knox tripped. The last firmware that I was is "SM-N9860_20201112_TGY_N9860ZSU1BTJ9-N9860OZS1BTJ9-N9860ZCU1BT"
but the modification that I made was with SamKEY changed the CSC to CHC and after that flashed CHC csc file with odin, so in settings I had region CHC,CHC/CHC,TGY
Thanks for help

Flash just the CSC, AP and BL of the firmware version N9860ZSU1BTJ9 if that doesn't work then try flashing the CSC, AP and BL from the firmware version N9860ZSU1ATGM and see if that works..

Hi Chetbiz,
On your original thread, I did mention a ”patched” version of ODIN, I thought you already tried it. I guess not...
So there is still chance [emoji848].

From what I understand I need Binary 4 file to unlock frp lock, maybe some one knows something about this file and if we got one anywhere?
I have never heard about it before, sorry
You may have to bite the bullet and send back to Samsung and have them reset the phone to original factory condition. It may cost some money, but better that than not having a phone at all -- a lot less than buying a new note for sure.
If you can't get it to flash on your own, I think that is your only option.
One quick thought - have you tried to turn off the phone and then boot back into Download mode? if not, try holding power and volume down until screen turns off - and when it is still off -quickly plug the USB cord into your phone. This will (should) force download mode - if it works - click volume up and then use Odin to try to flash the last firmware file you have (try all four files)
I don't know if this will help or make a difference, but if you haven't already tried this - it may work for you.
Good luck....

Yes I think too that sending back to seller is my only option, I'm trying to connect with him, I bought on ebay, the problem he's doesn't answering me.
About download mode of course I entered the download mode after he was turned off. Nothing works, the strange thing that its fails to flash the latest tgy firmware, there I dont have an error about pit file or frp lock but its still failes on AP file when trying to write super.img... So I don't know what the solution for that, maybe in next firmware version it
will succeed

You probably already tried this - but just in case, go to this link and download the most recent PATCHED Odin -
Then get several different USB Cords - Samsung Original is usually the best - but get different cords just the same -
then try to flash all four files in that patched odin - if it fails, close odin - open it again and reload the files and try again using a different USB Cord.
I believe that if you keep trying, you will eventually get it to work...
By the way, If you can't get the Seller to do the right thing - contact SAMSUNG Support and arrange to send it back to them. They may charge you (Probably around $100 or so I think) but they can definately help you get it working again.
Hope that helps - Good Luck.

super.img is from AP. Try to flash the build that was working on your phone before the issue happened, but without the AP.
