Did i just brick my brand new A5 2016 ??!. Problem Solved

EDIT: Problem solved!!!
I used this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...very-samsung-sm-a510f-fd-exynos7580-t3314399/ to install TWRP and root my SM-A510FD on 6.0.1 . My device was rooted and working perfectly until stupid me decided to turn off "OEM Unlock" and i restarted my phone and now it says "custom binary blocked by frp lock" The only thing i can do is go to the Download mode. I tried to use Samsung Kies and Smart Switch when in Download mode but they tell me that my device is not supported. But Odin detects my device and says "Added!!". I am currently downloading the stock firmware for my device from Sammobile and i plan to flash it using Odin.
- Will putting the firmware file in the AP section of odin and clicking start work to fix the problem? (I do not care if i will loose data)
- If this will not work is there anything else that i can do? I can't take it to repair because Knox is tripped and i do not have my receipt. If my phone is bricked forever please tell me so i don't waste my time trying to fix it.
Thank you so much in advance! Any help would be extremely appreciated!!

Just flash stock firmware and you are good to go, if it wont boot turn it off, reboot to recovery(stock) and wipe data & factory reset, later you can again flash twrp and root but dont turn off OEM unlock.

What about when my j7 says custom binary blocked by frp lock(boot.img) secure fail:kernel. It will boot into recovery, and download. Factory wipe does nothing, so recovery mode is useless to me at the moment. my computer detects the phone enough to say Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) driver error as the label of the phone. No matter what mode I'm in. Drivers are up to date, odins good, usb port, computer, and data cords are all good. I've flashed other phones and hooked this one up to another pc to see that it says the same thing. How do I get the computer and/or odin to agree with my phone enough to pick it up as a good device?

S7 Stuck in Bootload / Updating

Hi all,
since one day i´m totally wrecked up with my SM-G935F. On Monday morning the display was frozen. I looked in some forums and used odin to flugh the newest version (7) to the phone. After clearing the cache it worked quite well for about 3 hours then freezed again. Since that i´ve tried so many options, all leading to nothing ;( I´m quite sure that there must be a solution and hope for your help.
The actual status is:
The phone shows the Galaxy S7 Edge screen, then the "Installing system update". This crashed every time (no command) and then a black screen is shown with some information in the upper half:
No Support SINGLE-SKE
Supported API:3
# Manual Mode #
-- Appling Multi CSC --
Applied the CSC-code: DBT
Successfully applied multi-CSC
Successfully verify for dmverity hast tree
Sometimes after waiting it jumps to the "bootloader". The normal way with the volume up + power+ home is not working at the moment or i´m doing something wrong.
I´ve tried a few fixes:
-> downloaded the newest Firmware, an older version and the oldest one from sammobile and install via odin
Normal install in AP via Odin stuck an recovery.img​I renamed the file without md5, open it and extracted the files. From there i tried to single upload them (boot, system and recovery) It freezes at system...​
-> flash home file first with odin
it stucks on RQT Close and don´t finish​
-> install new firmware via SD Card
frp lock denied the installation. Get error: E: signature verification failed​
-> samsung smart switch and kies
both not working. I´m not even able to make the software initializing because it tells me that my phone (SM-G935F) is not supported... WTF....​
-> install CWM recovery via adb
I´ve tried to install an other revocery tool without success. I tried the ways via Odin and adb, both collapsing with the error of activated frp lock​
-> TWRP recovery via adb
Same like CWM. The Binary Upload is denied trough frp-lock​
-> Whipe cache from fastboot
I whiped the cache several times without anything changing​
-> factory reset from fastboot
It says that factory reset was successful but data could not be wiped. It also changes nothing....​
From my nooby perspective i would:
-> unlock the frp
-> install custom recovery
-> unlock signature validation
-> install via adb or sd card the newest Firmware
-> lucky guy
I´m really depressed/sad right now and have no idea what to do next. I spoke with samsung service and they told me to send them the phone so they can repair it. I hope that this is not ne final solution...
If there is any possibility to get the phone back to factory reset or any other working system i would be soo glad.
sorry for the bad english, it´s not my mother tongue
Thanks in advance and beste regards

LOL, didint read all but the part where the phone freeze after few hours on MM or even on clean Nougat firmware its a big sign that the problem is with hardware, just send the phone to Samsung so they could fix it and move on

I actually did. From my perspective there was no other way so i send it in. Really unhappy with this solution but i hope that Samsung Support will repair it. Maybe i was too naive with the android phone. i thought that i where able to totally delete and reinstall the system like i do with my computer. Now i will look for a good backup solution for the future ;D
Thanks in advance

I think you messed up your phone somehow... certain steps you described do worry me what you might have done.
Did you root/unlock your phone before? If yes, Samsung will happily return your S7 without even touching it.
Kies & Smart Switch do not work on rooted phones. Exception: Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization
Did you try flashing all four files (BL, AP, CP, CSC not HOME_CSC) in Odin at once? Did you try another PC / USB port?

Samsung S8 - Custom binary blocked by FAP lock

Hello all,
I have been a long-time peruser of this site, but this is the first time I couldn't find a good answer to my issue.
My phone (SM-G950F) ran out of power, I didn't notice till after it died completely. When I tried to turn it on while charging it displays the message "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" on the logo screen, then turns off. If plugged in to a charger, it'll just keep booting like that in a loop. I'm not even able to access recovery, only the download mode. I'm not against factory resetting my phone, however I have important data that in the phone storage I need to keep. I have searched online and youtube with no success.
Any ideas or suggestions will be much appreciated.
NOTE: Before the phone battery died, i wasn't tinkering with any setting that may lead to this; just regular use

flash it with odin

Flash official firmware..but make sure to use HOME_CSC not CSC...to keep your data...then boot direct to download mode after flashing ia done and flash twrp recovery

I have same issue bot Windows dosn't see my phone (drivers installed) so I'm unable to flash it. I can see only unrecognizable device in windows device manager. Is there any hope to fix it. Please help

How to rid rmm and kg without 7 days?

Phone acting strange - Bricked?

Hi
My phone stopped working a couple of days ago, I had been running a custom rom for 2 mths. I tried to restart and boot to recovery TWRP as I was going to reflash the rom. It charegs with no lights, for a day I couldnt boot to TWRP if it did it stayed on the start screen with no options. Today I can get options in TWRP so I tried to start fresh install but intstallation stops at step 1 ?
I have no idea what happened to the phone or why it just died, but dont understand why I can get into TWRP but cant flash rom etc. Also sometimes it say system destroyed message? but still can get into TWRP ?
Any ideas or help will much appreciated really would like to fix this rather than write the phone off.
Thanks

Hi, been playing with this when i have time over the last few weeks.
I have been trying to flash firmware, I dont seem to be able to get QFIL to work for me, it wont reconsise the port. However MIFlash does but I get errors, sometimes it flashes but doesnt end? other times i have had error flashing modem_a or error flashing modem_b (maybe device is locked).
In ADB it says already unlocked. Also I can only boot into fastboot, not recovery so i cant intall anything from adb sideload, it wont boot into bootloader just powers off if i try this. I guess theres no recovery on it now as I cannot boot into it.
Any ideas on where to go from here , EDL? I really didnt want to attempt to open the phone.
Thanks

Try miflash 2019 with stock rom pie latest with edl mode
if bootloader unlocked You can enter edl mode via fastboot with the command 'fastboot oem edl'

Thanks, tried this, says success then just carries on , so i have to disconnect. However when then trying to boot the device it shows Android one logo and if im lucky after a few attempts it goes to the screeen saying Hi There, where you choose your language to set up the phone. However it nows seem to be unresponsve and frozen on that screen.
Im beginning to think its could be hardware issue and phone is just faulty, i really dont want to bin it as its imacculate condition seems a real shame, but it is 3 years old i guess.
Any further help or ideas much appreciated.

Note 5 FRP Lock and USB not recognize on pc.

Hi Guys,
I purchased this used Note 5 K model yesterday. I wanted to update it's rom. I checked it. It was rooted but there was no TWRP.
When i connected to pc. It's was not recognized. I installed drivers. Changed 3 cables. But nothing.
I thought maybe i have to change USB debugging so it did it. With that i disabled OEM unlock option.
Now it's not even booting. There's a red text showing on top FRP Lock.
I've no idea what to do now. So confused.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Now it shows FRP Lock On.
