[Q] I have got my 9505 dead after flashing

Only bootloader and downloader work, the rest seems to be deleted.
When I am trying to install a new ROM from a MicroSD cars, the loader reports that /cache and other folders cannot be mounted.
The folders themselves exist on the disk but are empty.
How can I restore the system?

Did you flash by recovery or odin? Try download stock rom and flash by odin.

Hello again!
Thanks for charry comments here and in the thread regarding Google Edition firmware,
nevertheless I managed to restore the phone: it turned out quite an easy thing.
I downloaded an official firmware for my phone from http://samsung-updates.com/ and loaded it via ODIN 3.09 (version does not matter much IMHO),
process ended sucessfully, but the phone did not revive. Then it turned out that original boot-loader had been installed with the ROM and in its menu I managed to return correct forlder structure on phone's disk (via wipe funtion that failed in an alternative boot loader) and the phone returned to its original state. Then I tried to install the new ROM via original boot loader and failed because it checks digital signature and rejects flashinf of custom ROMs, and then I againg installed the alternative boot loader but did nothing but installing (logs say that this procedure provides for necessary wiping), then the phone appeared as dead again but after 1-2 minute pause it opened the first dialog of Android 4.3.

dm-verity verification failed

2 days ago i flashed twrp on my pure stock note 4, i did backup my rom including EFS using twrp and then flash kyubi rom with nameless kernel, it all went well. just now i wipe data ,system, cache on twrp and restore my backup stock rom and it went well too...and then i try to flash stock rom using odin so i can get back the stock recovery mode for OTA update when MM releases.. the flashing was a sucess and phone booted but my data inside werent wipe.
so i went to recovery mode and saw this dm-verity verification failed on the bottom i proceed to wipe data and reboot my phone, its all working now no problems except i cant reset my phone with the setting inside it will just bring me to recovey mode and stay there with that message.
now i did some research, some saying will bootloop and stuffs but mine is all ok no problem except i cant reset it inside the settings..
anyone can help me get rid of that message/problem?

If you format everything in advance format in twrp and then flash stock firmware this message will go away.

got the same problem. Then I went to a local store. They helped me. Here are steps
1. Pull out your battery, check your serial number (S/N:....)
2. Download smart switch, enter emergency software recovery..... Enter your serial number
3. Turn off your phone. Enter download mode or sth ( I don't remember it clearly. just power + vol down or up. just try it)
4. Smart switch will recognize your phone. Choose a firmware to download. then wait
5. Enjoy stock firmware

Use kies3 reinstall drivers, then use emergency recovery in kies to reinstall your current firmware or opt to update to latest or most recent release or version then follow kies instructions

Hello everyone
I have found a way to fix dm-verity and DRK issues and it works like official, meaning no errors in stock recovery and OTA works with Official firmware, the problem is related to corrupted/deleted 3 files on /efs partition. I have tested it on SM-N910C so I guess it works on other Exynos variants, perhaps even on snapdragon if the partition layout is similar? Kies won't restore DRK or dm-verity check because it doesn't write to EFS. I can fix yours if someone is interested via Team Viewer, you will need the following:
1. PM contact me for Skype ID
2. Stock rom, rooted (any root method)
3. Adb debugging enabled and drivers installed (Kies or SmartSwitch)
After repair you can enter your stock recovery and confirm there is no DRK/dm-verity red letters error.
Regards,
magix01

please guide us the proceedure here .. i have a phone with same problem & i have to update it to MM ...

Mine still says fail. but it also says "need to check drk first" could anyone possibly help me im stuck.the phone loads up and everything. but when i try to root or anything or flash any other firmware than n910pvpu5dqi5 it fails about 4 seconds in to flashing on odin. ive downloaded every possible firmware specific to the SM-N910P but only one worked.
im a big noob with the note 4 this is my first luckily its not my daily phone yet. im very familiar with the note 3 n900t but im finding they are very different. any advice would be appreciated!

If you just unlocked your bootloader and thats it, your rom should still be the stock one.

Galaxy S7 G935F - Recovery root

Hi guys
Just got a brand new, G935F S7, would like to root and install custom recovery to install the dream S8 Port.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/root-proton-x-1-0-t3497772
I looked around, but found a few different versions of recovery and rooting options.
Is there a link i can jump to for the easiest, less risk way?

I have SM-G935F (Black Onix) and i have TWRP+Root and Custom ROM
Download:
TWRP -> Twrp-3.0.2-4-hero2lte.img.tar
Odin -> Odin
1. activate developer mode on the current system and turn on the option 'enable OEM
2. reboot phone mode to 'download mode' and flash using Odin (position AP) TWRP recovery [ATTENTION you must turn off autoreboot options in odin and after flash manually reboot the phone into recovery mode]
3. You can flash SuperSU or if you want custom rom with root:
3.1 go to options and select wipe data format - write "yes" then after finishing wipe necessarily restart phone to recovery mode [ATTENTION this operation will clear the memory of the phone without touching the data contained on the ex-scdard]
3.2 flash in the recovery file no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.2.zip
3.3 reboot phone to recovery mode
3.4 Flash your favorite rom and wait for boot up I recommend Ambasadii ROM..
Have a good day

Custom Binary blocked by FAP Lock

Dear Community,
I have managed to reach this wonderful error message on my S8. A few of you knew this maybe with "FRP" from other Samsung devices. However, I know I get this because I am using a custom rom and a modified kernel. I also do know a possible solution might be flashin a new stock firmware through Odin - so my question is, how can I save my data? I only need my Whatsapp folder and my pictures.
For the nosy readers, I did download a GPS Faker App from the Google Playstore, and I had to re-enable my developer settings. Sadly I forgot to push the button for "OEM Unlock" to yes.
Have a nice day!

Sadly there is no other way to fix this, the only way I got it to work again was to go into Odin mode and flash a stock firmware ( I also lost root access and TWRP, which I installed afterwards again )
You can YouTube how to flash a stock firmware
Hopefully this helped

Is there no other option like installing an unmodified kernel through odin? Tried with Jesse, but I was not able to transform the flashable .zip to a .tar.md5 for Odin.

I'm pretty sure to install a custom kernel you need OEM unlocked, but I might be wrong... I just installed the firmware i needed from sammobile and flashed it using Odin.

Just to touch on this for future readers.
He already had OEM Unlocked (So to speak) He has flashed a stock ROM or Custom ROM, and continued with Rooted, TWRP and maybe Xposed.
But for one reason or another he has had to activate the developer settings to change a toggle.
In doing so, he changed the toggle needed, but this also Triggers the OEM Option.
If you do not select the OEM Option, then when you reboot your device, you are locked with this message.
It basically sets it self to off.
There is no way to bypass this message, the system has blocked itself from booted and thats that.
All you can do is flash the Stock Files via Odin again, You may be lucky flashing the Home_CSC file to prevent Data loss, But dont hold your breath

Same problem
Hello. I got stuck in the "custom binary blocked FAP lock" too. my question is: will there be any problem if i try to flash a firmware from another country? Also, what are the risks that i completely brick my phone?
I was on stock rom 8.0, with twrp and magisk installed.

one of the lucky ones here.
I think my biggest obstacle is my Mac. Got all my pre-requistes sorted out , run jOdin, connected to phone, open up the firmware folder and designate the correct files, get the PIT file, and click start.... and get "A corrupted file was detected. In order to continue, you must select a valid Odin File" error . Downloaded several firmwares and cant get past this issue.. Not sure what to do (new versions of jOdin comptability? But even back in 2017, i tried flashing with jOdin but never succeeded despite following every step.

[Fixed] [T580] Custom binary blocked by frp lock

Update:
For anyone who got the same problem as me:
Flash the exact same stock rom with odin (bl, ap, csc not csc_home).
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
So i made a mistake to turn off the developer options and i think by that also oem unlock, and on a restart i got Custom binary blocked by frp lock.
What are my options now in 2022 also is it possible to complety remove the Custom binary blocked by frp lock so i wont happen again in the future?
I still got the stock recovery because twrp wont mount anything but i think that is because i needed to flash the dm_verify zip to make that happen so i stayed with stock recovery and patched it with magisk.
I can boot in to the stock recovery and i can boot into downloader mode.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Info:
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 (SM-T580)
Rom: T580XXS5CTK1_T580PHN5CTK1
Android: 8.1.0 Stock samsung rom
Recovery: Stock
Magisk and Busybox installed

Let me see if I've got this right. Your post says you have a stock ROM and recovery but with Magisk installed. With full stock and no Magisk, all the FRP lock should do is require you to enter the Google Account login and password on first boot. So have you tried a factory reset in recovery to get rid of Magisk? Then once booted, you can turn Dev mode and OEM enable back on and go from there.

Hello, thank you for the reply
But it was a Custom binary blocked by frp lock so no google account frp lock.
But i got it fixed by just flashing the complete stock rom with odin and then flashed twrp 3.6.2 with dm_verify 6.1 zip.
So this thread can be closed.
