Encryption Failed - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello,
My S7 Edge rooted with an official firmware is blocked on "Encryption failed"
It all started when I inadvertently disabled the OEM unlocking. When I restarted the phone, I got stuck on the message "Custom Binary Blocked by FAP Lock"
I looked for a solution and flashed an official firmware with Odin using the "HOME_CSC" to keep my data. And now I'm stuck on "Encryption failed" when I've never encrypted my phone.
Is there a way to recover my data, photos and videos?
Thank you.

Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge Rooting Issues

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge successfully through the use of CF auto root and odin. After sometime I was trying to disable fused location with the app named Disable Services when my phone rebooted and gave me the error "Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock". So I researched and found a solution which was to download a firmware on to my device with odin. I downloaded this firmware from a site called sammobile
which was successful.
Now the problem is that whenever I try to re-root my device it gives me the error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" which I bypass by booting from recovery mode but when I check the root access it is not available.
So how can I re-root my device?
Note: Though root access is not available I still cannot update my phone because it says that it is modified.
Model number: SM-G935F
did you know that to root and/or install custom roms or recoveries, you have to have OEM Unlock checked. And after you can't go and uncheck it or else it will fail to boot and gives you that FRP lock words. just something i found out. Just leave it if you are rooting your device, if you want to go back to stock, you can then go and uncheck OEM unlock. later

s7 edge encryption failed

I was using my phone after I installed pokemon go, and it randomly froze, I did a reset and it gave me a custom binary blocked by frp error, so I installed stock ap on odin. When I start up the phone its now giving me a "encryption failed" error and only giving me the option to reset all my data, WHICH IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO.
I have no backups.
S7 Edge international edition.
PLEASE HELP

"custom binary blocked by frp lock"

Edit: No one replied with a good answer so i reinstalled stock recovery while keeping root and turned off OEM Unblock and it bricked my device with "custom binary blocked by frp lock" and i am currently fixing it with Smart Switch initialization. Moral of the story: Never disable OEM Unlock
(A5 2016)
Does this happen after you turn off OEM Unlock because the recovery is not stock (TWRP is installed) or because the device is rooted or both?
If after rooting with https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...overy-samsung-sm-a510f-fd-exynos7580-t3314399 i flash stock recovery and turn off OEM Unlock will i still get this message?
Thanks!
Please note that i had the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" error but i fixed it with Smart Switch initialization. I want to turn off OEM Unlock for security reasons
just flash previous firmware version which u have in your phone before frp lock.
nothing to worry its not bricked.
only ensure version u are going to flash is same as before , flash via odin and enjoy
I already did it, my question is that if i remove TWRP and install the stock recovery while keeping root, will disabling "OEM Unlock" show "custom binary blocked by frp lock"
Help
I am going through a similar enigma. I have S7 Edge. If I log in with Google and then turn down unlock on will I get custom binary error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@CrystalGTX
This is an old thread, but I am having the same problem; (stupidly) unchecked OEM Unlock. Reboot, and now I have "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
When you say "fixed it with Smart Switch initialization", does that essentially mean reflashing firmware?
And as a result, erasing all data?
I've read that flashing stock firmware can save the hardware, but I'm much more concerned about the data; I need my contacts, photos, txts, etc.
EDIT: Err, shoot. I see now this was posted by a Guest, so I doubt the OP is going to give me a response. Anyone else help?

G935F FRP lock out of nowhere, "Device does not have DRK" after stock firmware flash

G935F FRP lock out of nowhere, "Device does not have DRK" after stock firmware flash
Hello. I and my friend have a lot of problems currently with the phone.
The phone had randomly thrown the FRP lock on, and it became unbootable. (gets stuck at logo and would tell that "custom binary locked by frp lock"). The phone previously had stock firmware.
The first fix we've attempted was to flash the stock Oreo firmware (G935FXXU2ERE8) via Odin. But after flashing, It got stuck at bootloader logo without any additional text this time.
Then we've tried to flash an older firmware (G935FXXU2DRC4), and then the phone started throwing the "Device does not have DRK" error.
After booting to recovery, it says "Please flash ENG binary then install DRK".
After reboot via recovery, it started throwing a dm-verity error (0x02).
After some Googling I've found out that It's fixable with a boot file flash. But I couldn't find one for current firmware. Maybe we could just use combination sboot file (pakfirmware.com/2017/11/samsung-frp-samsung-s7-edge-g935f-sboot-combination-file), or should I find one that's specific to the current firmware?

Custom binary blocked while flashing combination file

So I have a S8 (SM-G950FD Brazilian unlocked) and it freaked out while updating to the latest firmware. It boots to a screen saying "codification failed" (I translated, it may not say that in an English configured device) and asks for a factory reset wich does nothing. I tried flashing the latest firmware with Odin and nothing.
So while researching I came across combination files, so I downloaded the one for the right binary (5) but it spits out the error "custom binary blocked by frp lock" when flashing with Odin and now I'm stuck.
I would post photos with all the device information in both recovery and download mode with the hope it may show something I don't see but unfortunately, I'm a new user and therefore not able to.
