Hey!,
I would like to inform you guys if some have problem in rooting then, it must be that he or she must have updated grand duos .
So here are few steps I would like to suggest :
* Download the files from the attachments and extract them
!!Note :I would like to inform here that take the recovery .tar file from here according to your firmware (4.1.2 or 4.2.2) :
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2315529) as said by Mohanshshr.!! Or this -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
* Switch off your phone and boot into download mode (vol down + home + power) and press vol up to proceed
* Open odin in pc and and click on PDA
* Locate the you extracted from the CWM touch zip and click open
* Make sure only 'Auto reboot' and 'F.Reset Time' is checked . **
* Click start once complete odin should say 'PASS' and your phone will reboot
* Copy the Supersu zip file into your external sd card.
* Now switch off your phone and boot into recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
* Now select install zip from sd card -> Choose zip from sd card
* Now locate the supersu zip file and click install
* Now CWM will install the zip
* Samsung devices come with a special flash counter that tracks the no. of times you flash custom roms and zips.
* If you wish to reset the flash counter back to original Download triangle away app by chainfire and hit reset counter. (in attachments)
!!Note: If it doesn't show cwm by pressing vol up + home + power that try steps again and add this step to the above step :
** Uncheck the Auto-Reboot check box then after the odin says "PASS" remove your battery directly.
Try to go to CWM by pressing volume up+power+home buttons. !!
** - Indicates additional info. is below in note.
!!Note : Update-SuperSu.1.5.1.zip is for 4.2.2 firmware, download Update -SuperSu .1.5.0zip for 4.1.2 from attachments.
:fingers-crossed::!Hope this works and inform as many people as you can.:fingers-crossed:
:highfive:Thanks to Suriya 357, Chottu222, icyhotguy and Mohanshbhr for help.:highfive:
Special thanks to priyatam and associates.

The recovery can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
Hi all, not sure did i put this in right section, if i didn't sorry for that
I'm new to this and i made mistake, i hope You can help me with this
I read this tutorial [How-To] Root G870AUCU1ANG3 (GS5 Active) and flashed kernel in BL mode, i should flash it in AP mode... i didn't saw that
Flash was successful phone rebooted, and on "samsung galaxy s5" page in top left corner has "Set warranty bit: Kernel" after that phone reboot and it's going in recovery mode, i tried to wipe/data factory reset,
what ever i tried it put me back in recovery mode
OK, i found way to fix it when i reinstalled firmware...
Now i have one more question, from where i can download working kernel G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5?
Thanks for help
Set warranty bit means you lost the warranty wen you installed the custom kernel end the kustom kernel must be the zip install with boot img file end updater script end update binary inside

Tar.md5 must by official bootloader from samsung
I own a Samsung Galaxy A9
I tried to update the firmware from the original lollypop to (maybe) marshmallow
I failed to update using the software, so i updated using smart switch
It went wrong, the update failed.
Now the blue screen with "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recvery function in the Smart Switch PC software" appears..
I tried the emergency recovery but it also failed
The only button combination that worked is the power button + volume down --> It restarted, but the same screen appears
I even tried refresing the software with Odin, but it failed.
The phone says "FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"
Odin doesn't work
The samsung customer service in singapore (my country) is not able to help. Would really appreciate it if somebody could help me with this.

Are you able to get into bootloader ? If so, you can try using ADB to remove OEM Unlock.. There should be bootloader unlock instructions for Samsung in these forums..

I take it you tried to update via odin originally.
If you give more details if what part of the flashing process failed we may be able to help.
Was it a particular partition that failed to flash.
A screenshot of the failed flashing process with odin would be helpful.
Also you may be able to remove the blue error screen by flashing the stock recovery with odin.
Extract it from the stock firmware, convert it to a tar archive then flash it with Odin.
Boot to recovery and wipe cache.
That itself may get you booting.
There is also Twrp available for your device which could do the same thing.
I had the same issue.. i fixed it yesterday.. what i did was.. go to developer options.. enable OEM unlock.. download CROM from galaxy apps store.. it gives a warning msg regarding unlocking the device.. that isnt an issue..just press ok.. and it will say ur device is unlocked.. and then try reflashing firmware from ODIN.. and then i did root my A9 and its working pretty nice since yesterday..

and also.. if u try to update to marshmallow.. u may get errors.. i assume thats because that is an update from CHINA..NOT from HONGKONG.. i suggest everyone to wait untill hongkong version of Marshmallow is released.. even i flashed marshmallow..had some error and my device was not booting and just booting into recovery with some error like drm something like that.. and then i flashed a hongkong lollipop 5.1.1 version and then my device booted..

regarding the FRP locking system. do one thing.. first back up everything.. go to backup and reset option.. do a factory reset.. it will wipe everything so do make sure u backup everything.. it will reboot the device into recovery.. do full factory reset.. reboot again.. finish.. i did this.. FRP LOCK is gone.. am happy

I have the exact same problem as michael's... The problem is that we cannot enter the ROM at all... It only stuck at either the blue screen, or the odin mode screen. So we cannot disable neither FRP or Oem unlock...
Well in my chase i think the Crom service is already unlocked, but still... When trying to flash with :
China marshmallow : odin process failed even from the beginning (aboot.mbn <-- bootloader)
Hongkong lolipop : odin process failed during system ext4, saying it's too large

Is the TWRP for A9 available? I cant find any.
and remember this.. DO NOT FLASH CHINA MARSHMALLOW AS OF NOW.. it creates a problem.. FLASH ONLY HONGKONG FIRMWARE using the latest odin..

y do u need twrp? just flash via odin and its done..

If odin won't flash and the bootloader is complaining about frp lock.
Then the firmware isn't meant for that device.
If it fails at aboot then it's likely nothing got flashed.
To remove the firmware error warning it's usually enough to flash the stock recovery or twrp with odin.
The stock recovery image can be pulled from the stock firmware and converted to tar with 7-zip then flashed with odin.
Note: twrp wont flash while frp lock is active.

"The stock recovery image can be pulled from the stock firmware and converted to tar with 7-zip then flashed with odin."
Which file do you mean by stock recovery image, and how to flash it with odin. I mean like which file should be converted to tar and should i put it into AP slot and then start odin like usual? thanks

Open the md5 firmware archive with 7zip and pull out recovery.img.
Use 7-zip to create a tar archive then flash with odin in AP slot.

First of all thanks for this..
I tried this and able to access the recovery screen..
But still flashing the stock ROM after wipe/factory reset fail.
I found several problems in the recovery screen:
There is "dm-verity verification failed" error
and there is problem about mounting to /system and formating /sbfs thing..
When I tried flashing.. the problem is also always on the same point.. On the system.img.ext4 it failed, saying volume is too large, ODIN : invalid ext4... <-- Always this failure
I dont understand any of this.

As previously stated the firmware is not intended for your device this is why you are seeing these issues.
Hi,
I have removed the blue screen, i tried flashing the stockrom after wipe/factory reset failed. I found several problems in the recovery screen. There is "dm-verity verification failed" error and error during wiping, there is a problem about mounting to / system and formatting/ sbfsthing. i don't understand any of this jargon.
Hope i can get some help for this, please.
Thanks

Don't worry about /sbfs other Samsung devices get the same warning.
Dm-verity is usually due to a modified system partition or just the wrong firmware.
Wipe issue is likely because of frp lock.
Thanks Ashyx.
Right now when i try turning on my phone, my phone just keeps restarting and the typical welcome screen appears. Nothing further happens.

Hi all
I want to flash odin a9000 hong kong version, and I am afraid of this looking this thread
I am on latest hong kong rom 5.1.1., unlocked bootloade by crom , rooted, twrp installed...
So, do I need to afraid of this @steberg @ashyx and other advanced users
thanks
Man... Oh maaaan.....
I have also got this problem with SM-A9000.
via smart switch my firmware detected as china built (BPE2). but the emergency recovery always failed at 100%
then i try ODIN, with china firmware ( i try with the newest & even the oldest & i have tried with both full AP instalation & the single instalation BL, AP, CP, CSC) the result:
"FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"
with PIT & Re-partition also fail. only add result:
"FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download"
when i try with HK firmware (either newest & all other) it's better while the full instalation fail.
the single instalation made it for BL, CP & CSC and i got into the boot loop which show black screen
and SAMSUNG GALAXY A9(6) logo and i can access recovery.
But AP instalation always fail ( i have tried PIT also), the screen said
"FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download"
"Volume Size is too big 7372800 < 7979008"
"ODIN : Invalid id ext4 image"
my question? is it really wrong firmware? because the BL, CP & CSC can be installed except the AP because of the system.img.ext4.
because with the China Firmware,none can be installed.
also in my recovery there log:
"dm-verity verification failed
E: failed to mount / system (Invalid argument)"
i tried to install TWRP, but still fail,its said:
"FRP is enabled, not allow download non-FRP aboot binary"
and as last resort i even try to tick "NAND erase all" but i just got the same result as above either with China and HK with PIT, with singular or full installation...
i've been working on this phone for several days and now kinda got confused.
1. i dunno how to disable this FRP (my phone no longer able to boot, so the developer option is out of question) is it possible with odin?
2. or is it because E: failed to mount? but i even try Nand erase all yet still no result.
3. or wrong firmware? i tried it all China and HK with PIT & re-partition, still no result.
4. is there a way to wipe everything and erase this FRP thingi ? ( i have tried to wipe all from recovery too) :crying:

try this it might work

connect your phone with odin and click pit
and select the extracted file

click on pda and select the right rom for your phone
then click start it will take about 20 minutes.
remember i am not responsible if you bricked your device.
Finally i have managed to fix the phone.
I have extract the boot.img from firmware then flash it using odin without reboot
then install repair firmware
this the firmware i have used
i9301iXXUANF5_OJVUANF1_Arabic_v4.4.2_Repair_Firmware_FULL_4Files.zip
The method i have found it:
1- flash the phone with repair firmware. (i9301iXXUANF5_OJVUANF1_Arabic_v4.4.2_Repair_Firmware_FULL_4Files.zip)
2- after flashing the phone will dead (Black screen without rcovery mode or download mode or any thing). so i have insert the usb cable then remove the battery then reinsert the battery with keep pressing volume up + home button
3- you will enter the recovery mode.
4- then you have to wipe/factory reset data then reboot.
