Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Samsung Galaxy A5 2016
Guys, a major problem here. So i cant turn on my phone..
Its stuck on boot screen with the following message "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock"
Can't boot to twrp custom recovery (power+home+volup)
------
The only thing it can do is boot in to Odin downloader (power+home+voldown)
So i have already searched for a solution but all of those require a computer and a total hard reset of my phone. Which i don't want to. Because i don't want to lose all of my apps etc.
Is there a way i can bypass this frp lock? Without any major reset?

I am on stock ROM with root, but recovery isn't stock its twrp.
I installed twrp back in 2017 to make backups.
Luckily i made a recent 2019 backup.

Ok, so i have tried to flash twrp with odin. At first it looks like its flasing. But then suddenly it says FAIL! in red collor! On my PC
And on my phone in Odin screen it shows me a message.
"Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock
So what do i do now?
Cant start the phone , cant acces twrp..

Then there’s no option other than restoring your phone to factory state.

Okay, thats ok. Most of my new data is on my sd card.
Just one question, i have never done a hard reset with this phone.. Where do i find a stock Samsung a5 2016 europe rom to flash? And a tutorial?

Sammobile or updato for samsung firmware make sure to download the correct firmware
For steps its pretty easy
Just download the zip extract it
Open Odin and in the AP section select the file
Make sure your phone is connected to pc in download mode
And start the flashing wait for it to complete

Just an update for future users passing by.
So basically everything went ok. Even better then ok!
I used Odin to flash a ROM which i found on Updato.. Used the PHN ROM version.
And surprisingly it didn't erase anything of my phone. It just gave it an update. Everything is the same again, data is intact, apps are still there. But with some updated apps from Samsung itself. I guess they included some security patches too.
Previously my phone wouldn't be able receive OTA updates, because it would say. You phone is modified/rooted or something like that.
Seems to me that flashing, updated everything without losing anything.
Good, couldn't be happier. Thanks again!.

Mobile go backup F***ed up really bad... Bootoop, FRP and dm-verification j500fn

Hi, I have a J500FN stuck in bootloop, in recovery mode there's the message "dm-verification failed" and when I try to flash TWRP via odin , I get a "FRP lock". I can flash the stock firmware to revive the device AFAIK, but I really need to backup the data (pictures & contacts that aren't backed up in cloud).
All this hell is caused by a Mobile go backup that my friend tried to do, the app rebooted the device initially, then started to bootloop. Any solution to backup or restoring to normal the device without wiping data? I just really need a way to boot up the device and backup the data, so I don't really need the device to work flawlessly (maybe a dirty flash?).

Enable OEM unlock in developer options in stock rom before flashing custom recovery.
Disable F.reset time in odin and using 7-zip rename odin md5 file to have extension .tar . Open it and remove userdata from it. Then flash package using odin. That's how i revived my s3 a year ago. Now i own a nexus, so it is as simple as dirty flashing fsctory image piece
You just need to flash the stock firmware, your personal data will remain intact.
Once booted enable OEM unlock in developer settings then flash twrp.

Also which firmware are you flashing lollipop or marshmallow?

Remove frp lock in rooted soft bricked phones.

SORRY ABOUT MY BAD ENGLISH
I am writing this tread because i recently unlocked the frp lock on my bricked ROOTED samsung galaxy note 5 (SM-N920C). I faced problem in flashing stock firmware as my phone lost drk. And hence i do research and it took about a month to find a solution. I am sharing it here.
Tools i used.
1. Samsung tool pro( cracked version)
2. SM-N920C Combination file:
http://shell.boxwares.com/default.aspx?DeviceModel=SM-N920C&Type=All#fh5co-table
Because i am on nougat firmware the Samsung tool pro doesn't work and at the same time i am not able to down grade the firmware due to frp lock.
3. TWRP RECOVERY
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote5.html
PROCEDURE:
1. Flash the combination file in download mode. And wait for the phone to boot. In my case the phone doesn't boot.
Then go to download mode agian and remove frp lock with samsung tool.
2. Flash TWRP.
3. Flash any custome rom from TWRP. :good:
simply go to download mode and flash official firmware
after phone starts go to settings>>developer mode>>enable oem unlock toggle
that's all no frp lock anymore. i wonder why it took you 1 month to figure this out.

Actually, when the phone is under the frp lock. Flashing stock firmware under odin will not work. At least it happened to my n920g. I used the emergency restore through the samsung smart switch app.

Since i lost Drk i can't able to boot after repair with smart switch. And thats why i tried this method.

Could you change the destination of SM-N920C Combination file, because I can`t download it from your link. Thank you.
Try to rename firmware .tar.md5 to .tar (remove.md5).and flash it via odin .it work

Flashing firmwares will not undo FRP. No matter how many you flash. Solving the FRP problem lies elsewhere. And to another comment some FRp locked sammys will flash in odin under lock,Others will not. FRP lock is contained in a Partition in the device that is not touched by odin. If flashing orig stock firmware does not boot due to DRK problem then that has to be addressed first. I have not had a Note 5 in a while but This much I do know.

Cant boot, cant eneter recovery after flashing TWRP

hello everyone, my galaxy s8 was on stock rom, it was rooted with odin and super su, i made a mistake....
i installed twrp and wanted to flash it, it said that that it all flashed correctly, when i rebooted the phone it got stuck on the galaxy s8 logo, wont turn off and wont enter recovery mode, only thing i can do is enter download mode.
i tried to do whats written in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
im not 100% sure of my firmware version, its the one that came out with galaxy s8 when it launched 6.1 or 7.1
so i download the BL file to use it in odin, i tried the 1AQF7 and 1AQG7 also 1AGDG...
nothing helps, whenever i enter download mode and press START on odin with BL file added and straight away after pressing start hold down the volume down, plus bixby plus power i get the writing in odin NAND write start, i can never get beyond that, does that mean no matter how fast i try pressing all 3 buttons down, bixby and power i will never be able to fix the boot? or am i to slow?
can i push the needed file to fix the bootloader with ADB?
what else can i do now? is it anyhow possible to fix the boot, or if not to somehow please recover the data and transfer it to my pc memory? and start from scratch again with the phone as a last solution.
thank you all so much for your help in advance, been trying all day to fix it with odin, but no luck.
when i enter download mode this is written on my screen, maybe it helps:
odin mode
download speed:fast
product name: sm-g950f
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: off
oem lock: off
secure download: enabled

i do not think you will b able to recover or boot back into android but you should be able to flash an official firmware using odin to get your phone up and running again.
you should always back up important stuff on your phone before attempting any flashing
How about using Odin to 'dirty' flash the exact firmware last working on your phone? For "dirty", I meant flashing home_csc which doesn't force a data wipe.

TWRP on S7 without OEM unlock? (bricked phone)

I have a bricked S7 edge with data I need to recover - the factory software update failed.
I can get to download mode and recovery mode (wipe cache etc.) but the phone will not boot.
My first thought was to root and install TWRP so I could access the phones storage over USB, but I dont have the OEM unlock option enabled.
Do I have any other options?
I think the only solution is flash with odin
Flash it with odin
But....
When flashing choose CSC
not home csc
Are you sure I should flash CSC? doesnt that wipe all the data?
Home_CSC: Flash the firmware without wiping the data (if you just want to update the ROM)
CSC: Flash the firmware along with a complete wipe including data (mostly used in cases like bricked phones or Go-Back-To-Stock situations)
I tried to flash Home_CSC but it still wont boot.
It rebooted and "Installing System Update"
then "no command" with yellow exclamation mark.
Is it possible to enable OEM unlock from ADB? Or any other way without booting?
If I can flash TWRP I can download pictures etc. over USB. Then perform a full factory reset.

I tried that before but it doesn't work for me. my problem is after flashing, the phone is not able to initialize and boot. it keeps restarting, whether I flash only AP or all 4 of them, it passes and flashes successfully but then gets into endless rebooting....
Uhm if you have Twrp installed it actually activates MTP while inside it, so you can just grab your files from your computer
Edit : oh so you don't have twrp yet, sorry nvm im drunk

Download the latest firmware from sammobile for your model and put all files in odin. Use home csc if you don't want to wipe date. Should work without any probs.

Stuck on boot after attempted root to recover files

Hi, xda dev forums,
I initially wanted to root my phone to recover my lost files since I accidentally factory reset. I followed this tutorial /watch?v=s2Xp-lQg1xs
and now after the Odin process, which I believe I messed up the Odin process and bricked it., I am stuck at the boot with a message saying that The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security. and you won't be able to install software updates. My phone is a Singapore import to the UK and I used the UK firmware associated with my current sim carrier to root. How do I resolve this problem? My Samsung S10+ won't boot to download or recovery mode only is able to reset onto this boot. Any solutions?
