quick general flashing question? no zte zmax pro z981 forum?

Sorry i couldnt find a section for my device and i believe the bootloader question kind of depends on the phone.
Last i checked the phone was to new for root support or roms. Just dont have time to investigate every thread i find.
I think all i need to know is if the bootloader is unlockable and if the phone is cloneable . I have a zmaxpro with a broken screen but functions fine. And another matching one that looks new but is frp locked(google activation reset shiz). My plan was just to swap the guts and be done, but my android experience and love for this website makes me think i can just flash partitions from the broken one to the locked one overwriting the frp bs.
Any advice or link in the right direction helps. Thanks for reading

Completely new to android system

Hi guys ,
I have recently brought a Samsung s7 edge on EE in the UK, I did but the phone second hand but appears to be working correctly to start .
The phone will not find any software updates or play pokemon go for my son and Samsung knox is also tripped out , says the software has been modified in a unauthorised way, I went to samsung and they said it has been rooted and void of warranty so all I can do is Give them £250 for a new motherboard for the phone.
I followed some instructions by downloading a terminal client and it's not showing me as having super user status on the device ,
.I've had I phones since day one and was loving the freedom of android but I really do find myself out of my league as I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to this kind of stuff . I'm looking to either flash the phone back to its factory state or have the phone rooted properly to allow me to update etc
I'm very apprehensive about attempting this myself and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a idiots guide on how to or specialist on here who would do it for payment if I were to meet them somewhere with their laptop
I have tried Google searching but nothing much seems to make sense , thanks in advance

You want to flash a stock firmware. Get everything working OK first. Try "Updato" for fast firmware downloads. Try a "BTU" firmware. Download Samsung phone drivers and Odin. YouTube Odin very simple to use. Should restore your phone. Then look into rooting.

The phone is modified in a way that it was rooted before, but prior to selling, the vendor unrooted it. Pokemon Go will not work on a rooted device.
First thing is to find the exact build of the phone (under software info in the about section of settings), then look for the corresponding firmware. Trustworthy sources is this forum and sammobile (I usually get my firmware files here). Samsung PC drivers can be found on the internet. Officially they are installed on the PC when you install Samsung SmartSwitch (Samsung's PC Backup and Updating software). Then download Odin. You will use that to flash the stock firmware back onto your phone.

The UK S7 Edge, which is the Exynos variant (G935F) doesn't have bootloader restrictions in that form, thus there is nothing to "relock".

Why do you link to an article on a questionable site, named exactly what I'd imagine a phishing, scammer website would call it to someone completely new to Android!? Seriously, stop linking to these weird a** pages. These pages only exist to generate traffic. They're not even ran by real people. The same exact text on that website is on five other websites, copied and pasted. This is not productive. New users need assistance that's going to help them in the long term. They have to understand the process.
@Elliottsdaddy You want your device restored to its original state. Unrooted. The process of unrooting by flashing a stock firmware is fairly complicated for a newbie and requires you to extensively read and comprehend the tutorial/process. Seriously. There is a lot that can go wrong. I'm gonna ask you to follow the link below. It's a tutorial, posted on XDA by one of our senior members @henklbr. If you have questions, first use the search function and see if your question has already been answered by someone. If not, feel free to ask and give enough detail so people can help you appropriately.

Removing Google FRP lock on Sprint Galaxy S7 - SM-G30PVPS5BRA1 ?

Hello Guys!,
Boy oh boy well to make this short and sweet and to the point. I am basically a newbie when it comes to flashing and loading custom ROM's on phones, but been in the IT world for some 22 yrs, and know my way around computer systems, and networks, but with so many different people's posts, tricks, and fake procedures, I just need to know from a Senior member if at this point with the firmware I currently have, or reverting somehow to an earlier version to successfully remove the FRP from one of my Samsung collection? Just cutting to the chase, Your site as awesome and I have learned alot and been successful at fixing up my old Samsung S3 to a custom ROM by Team OctOS with the kind help of madbat99. An S3 running 7.1.2 and rooted with that custom ROM, Wow! what a difference. I think I have an S6 or 7 in my hands!..lol.
But Anyone with some valid information on this tried and true fix so I can work on getting this S7 by that FRP lock and rooted and loaded with something custom I surely would appreciate it, Thanks a million in advance! And i will attach some screenshots so you know what I'm dealing with.
Have a Great Memorial Weekend!!
ps, sorry screenshots i cannot attach i don't have them uploaded anywhere, but here is basically what I have:
Sprint S7 - SM-G930P
7.0/NRD90M/G930PVPS5BRA1
AP SWREV: B5 (2.1.1.1.1) K1 S4

Same here!!

So I've the same phone, firmware, and issue as yours my friend. I can't give a solution unfortunately, as I've been attempting to side step FRP on my girlfriends G930P with the BRA1 firmware as well. From what Ive read downgrading is our best bet, but I've no idea how to do so with this particular firmware. Most of my attempts have ended with bootloops or bricks.
Best of luck to ya, I'll be subbing your thread.

I first want to say this was not done for illegal purposes whatsoever nor do I agree with that crap. With that being said my mother forgot her password and username and didn't realize the importance paying attention to her back up password or username to recover her first one. Anyway the model is SM-G930P what the bootloader level 6 from the update that just recently occurred. BRD2 I believe. Anyway, I have to go to work soon but I just was able to bypass it and get her back into her phone very quickly and easily and I didn't know of anyone had post it on here yet so I wanted to do it quickly I can give him better tutorial after work.
How to do it:
Put your S7 in download mode with power home button and volume down. Google Flash Galaxy S7 SM-G930P s boot file. It will send you to a sm-g930f file don't worry it still works and is the one I used. So download that file its S7 g930f_king$ that's what shows up on my computer after I download it. Anyway open up Odin 3.12 Princecosmy and Flash that as boot file or image file under your bootloader or BL section of Odin and let it do anything quickly and it will pass and reboot. And when it boots back up to your surprise I'm sure because it was mine also it was able to connect and find ADB so I was able to run my GSM flasher FRP reactivation lock remover Pro and as long as you're Samsung drivers are installed it will pick it up on its port number. Click on the bypass FRP tab which is the one on the right of the two go down and click bypass FRP and boom you're done. So in conclusion get to export file from Kingsfirmware.com and search flash galaxy s7 sm-g930p and it will take you to sm-g930f flash. Download the sboot file s7 g930f_king$. Flash it via Odin under BL tab. Let it pass and reboot the run GSM Flasher YEP Reactivation Lock Remover Pro and under the Bypass FRP tab click Bypass FRP towards bottom and kick back!! Boom done.

This will also root your phone

it's my pleasure to help you, i can fix this problem if you still have it

Newb Requires Help with Binary block!

Hi Everyone!
Apologies if this has already been covered, but didn't know where to start as this is all completely new to me.
I have inherited a Samsung Galaxy SM J500FN which when turned on displays ' Custom binary blocked by FRP. secure fail : Kernel ' .
All the mobile phone shops i have spoken to are only interested in replacing screens and the like, aside from one guy who recommended this forum.
I don't need any of the previous data that's held on the phone so could be taken back to out of the box state. I've had a look at Youtube and seen various mentions of ODIN but have absolutely no experience and didn't want to screw it up any further!
Hope some one can help!
Many thanks, Jay.

Hi Jay, nobody yet replied you because there's a lot of learning before understanding the replies we usually exchange here. But don't desperate, begin plainly, look into the various threads, specially related to J5, and begin from the first posts, jump here and there, and after a while this big kaos will turn into something meaningful. Then look for FRP lock, there's a lot of posts... This will lend you to ask what is Odin and what is for... There are also tons of replies... Perhaps you then 'd want to know what a ROM or firmware is, why some of them are STOCK, OFFICIAL, CUSTOM... And you'll be ready to post questions that can be replied in a bunch of rows...
Kind regards

I am faced with a Dilemma...

I have a Galaxy tab S6 lite that is locked by a pattern and I don't have its gmail since it was used by another PhD student at our department. Factory reset did not work since I still need gmail. I also tried flashing it by odin but I didn't find a firmware with CP file, and hence even after flashing it I still could not log in. I could not install lineage because it says "only official binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)". Perhaps to install lineage I need to activate OEM, but how could I while it locked. Do you have any suggestions on things that I could try, I am getting desperate with this! Thanks!

Yeah. Ask your department head how to unlock it.

@Fethi_02 let me remind you of the Forum Rules:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

Does this device belong to you? Are you rightfully in possession of it? Do you have the right to use it?
If the answer to any one of these questions is "NO", you may not use XDA to seek any more assistance on this matter, and we recommend you return the device to its rightful owner.
However....If you are in legitimate possession of this device, I suggest you contact the person you bought the phone from. Most Android phones these days have "Factory Reset Protection" which is an anti-theft measure intended to prevent stolen devices from being wiped and re-used.
Failing that, your only option is to seek an FRP unlock, or return the device and request a refund. Either way, all activities conducted here on XDA must be legal and legitimate.

Come on man.
