So I am actually not sure what happened to my phone, at first it did not want to go through the Samsung S5 NEO powered by andriod logo, It said custom binary blocked by frp lock in the top left corner. So I did some research and first I found that using Samsung Kies I could fix it but when I put my sin number in it keeps on saying: "please check the model name and s/n and enter them again". So I did some more research and found out my best bet is just to load a rom on to my phone so I got it into download mode, Power+Home+VolumeDownButton and found my phones andriod 6.0.1, The exact andriod that it currently has, I started the process of it sending it to my phone and then when it was done it rebooted and started saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emeregency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. When I put my phones model name and s/n number it again says "please check the model name and s/n and enter them again". I am not sure what to do anymore, I can do nothing with my phone anymore. Is there anyway to get it working again? and hoviously my warranty is voided, but it was exipred by now because I have had the phone for a good 3 years if not longer by now.

hello ,
i rooted my Phone and did a very stupid thing and in settings i turned of oem unlock and usb debugging off again. so now my Phone wont start cause of the message "custom binary(recovery) blocked by frp lock.
i tried something trough odin for the recovery but it failed so now the Phone wont turn off and when i try to go to recovery mode it says "an error has occurred while updating the device software .use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software"

Its because you didnt explored smart switch properly ..
I have been there with my phone samsung galaxy j5 ... it happened just like yours ... i rooted my phone, forgot to check oem unlock and got the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" .. then i went to odin and flashed my firmware .. and it turns out .. the firmware i flashed is not the firmware of my phone .. so i got the message "an error occured while updating blah blah please go to smart switch blah blah blah " but i fixed it so theres solution for that ... smart switch
You said smart switch cant read your device?? Its because its bricked theres no way it can be read ..
So all you have to do:
1. Open smart switch
2. Go to "more"
3. Then go to "emergency software recovery and initialization"
5. Then go to "device initialization"
6.Put your model number and then your S/N or serial number .. it is found in the back of your edge plus.. it starts with letter R..
7.. after that .. you wait .. it will download the files for your phone...
That way you wont be flashing ramdom firmwares .. your phones firmware will be flashed since smart switch used the serial number.. i hope this helps..
Hello,
I use Samsung Galaxy S5 a year and less. Friend of mine brought it from the US. It’s unlocked with a code. The device is TMobile. A few days ago I used it as Hotspot router, to share internet to my laptop. I restarted the phone, but not turned off the Hotspot. When the phone is switched on, displaying the following error: "Secure Fail: Modem ...“in red letters, top left and in the middle - exclamation point in a yellow triangle, and below it the inscription in white letters: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost". I tried to flash with Odin with different ROMs for model G900T. It gave me PASS all times, but the error still comes and the phone does not start. I gave it to a friend who has GSM service. He said he made 6 service flash and nothing. He tried flash with stock ROM and 4 fiels+pit, but nothing. I tried different tutorials from here, but I am not quite good and not sure I do things properly. I dis flash with this CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t. Again same error but I had a different boot menu. There did a few cash and full resets. After that the phone started and stopped on Samsung android advertise. I flash with stock ROM after and again same modem error. I am from Bulgaria. I called to local Samsung service. They refused me to see the phone because they are not authorized. Have to repair just in USA, but this is complicated. Any idea what to do? Please, give a few tutorials to repair this!
Thanks in advance!
Please, you could give me threads which contains thing I have to do to repair my phone. No problem if I have to do few things. Important is to try everything possible again and in wright order.
Here's what I did...I used an older phone to download my modem to since my laptop was down at the time...I then booted into TWRP recovery after I've inserted the extSD card and from there I used TWRP to get modem back..hopefully I understood ur question and this would help you..sorry if it doesn't!
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA-Developers mobile app
so i got my hands on a s6 edge plus live demo unit. so i decided to root it but that failed, then i installed a custom rom and it worked. so i tried to install xposed so i booted my phone into recovery mode but i had an error message that said about the frp lock, but now when i boot my phone it keeps booting to recovery mods and i can't boot it normally. so i searched the internet and found nothing, so i tried myself but i got my phone in an akward situation now... when i boot it up i immedtiatly get a screen saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". i tried that but it said my device wasn't compatible and even with Kies and Kies 3 i had the same message. and when flash anything with odin even the stock files it says it failed and my phone says that frp lock thingy again... so can anyone help me please because i really want that phone to keep...
Hi all !
I have a Samsung A8 (model SM-A800F) which was working great. I ran Kingo Root to try to install Youtube ad free. The next time I restarted it, it didn't load, and restarted in an endless loop to where "Samsung" logo appears (then restarted again). I booted into System Recovery and chose to reset to factory, but it didn't help. Then I tried flash it using Odin in Download mode. I installed the Windows drivers, downloaded the 6.0.1 firmware for Vietnam (where it was purchased), loaded the file into the AP field, and once verified clicked Start. The progress was frozen when reaching mid-way every time I tried, until it said "an error occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"...
I downloaded Smart Switch and installed in Windows, but the drivers were not able to install correctly, and failed on the component referring to the ID or something... while Modem driver was installed correctly and the phone appeared in Device Manager. Smart Switch didn't recognize my phone and said "unsupported device".
Now I cannot get the phone stay constantly ON, and the screen shuts down and loads in an endless loop, to the "Error occured" screen... When trying to boot to the ODIN Download page, it loads, I press UP for Continue, and then it again shuts down and loads to "Error Occured".
I tried to charge over night but it didn't help. It does the same thing when the phone is connected to the charger...
However it seems that by IMEI it is sill under warranty. I'm not sure if I voided it :/
Here's what the Download mode page says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-A800F
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FAP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0
AP_SWREV: 1
Would appreciate any help, this phone is almost new but now it's dead :/

J5 prime (sm-g570f) is stucked on "an error while updating..conect smart switch.."
Hi,
i recently bought a J5 PRIME and i put a passcode to it and i can't remember it now,but i can access the google account that i used,so here's what i did,
i did a bit of searching online and played around with the recovery tool in the phone,and now im getting this error
"an error has occurred while updating the device software.use the emergency recovery function......smart witch pc software."
so i tried to install the stock firmware with smart switch but im getting a message that says,
"SM-G570F Does not support initializing please contact our service provider'
now the only thing i can do is to getting to the download mode,thats the only thing i can do
i was okay at that time because im also doing Software engineering and i know a bit about phoenes, soi tried to put the stock firmware through odin,but it doesn't work,it fails at a certain point,and then i checked my phone and i saw that ''blocked by frp''
then i did a bit of searching and i got to know about oem,and what frp is, so basically i didnt enabled oem when i had access to my phone.
what should i do,im freaking out here
