Hey guys, another question here.
Ive been watching arters thread for some time now and i have yet to see anyone there post with the model [SM-G928P]. This model pertains to the sprint verison i currently hold but was wondering if anyone else with this model has been able to somehow root the phone?
Completely dumbfounded at how many models and versions sammy has released with this phone. Or maybe im the unlucky one and have the only P version in the world
Not complaining but was just curious is all.
arter97 said that he won't support Sprint.
Also as far as I know Sprint and Verizon has locked bootloader and when you root the phone, you won't be able to turn it on again.

Sprint can be rooted. It is not yet. See Sprint Note 5 dev thread for the "possibilities " The sprint s6e+ phone should have the same rootabilty as the Sprint note 5.

Thats sad to hear. Also i thought it was AT&T and Verizon with the locked bootloaders? Or was i mistaken?
Oh yeah sorry.
arter97 said he doesn't want to develop it for CDMA Devices, which is Sprint. So, someone MAY come up with root.
Hi
your answer is right and i am agree with this.Thank you for your informative task .
Thats sad to hear. It seems like a great start for the S6E+ however. Hopefully us CDMA users can join the party soon enough. Thanks for the info on arter AK. Appriciate it.

hi, try flashing https://idlekernel.com/twrp/hero2qlte/3.0.0-0/twrp-3.0.0-0-hero2qltetmo.tar.md5
while it isn't for your phone (it's actually for T-Mobile S7 Edge), if it at least flashes then you are in the clear and I will happily port TWRP for G930P.
If the flash fails with SECURE CHECK FAIL, then you are out of luck. (nothing is changed and it won't trip knox)
RESULTS
if it flashes successfully, and trips knox, then you have an unlocked bootloader, and twrp will happen for you in a few days
if it does not flash, it will not trip knox, and nothing will have changed, but you have a locked bootloader
I'll test when I get back home thanks

Sprint variant is locked. Thanks for the confirmation. Yeah, you're Fked, apologies!
T-Mobile is also locked.
You may one day become vulnerable to a live root exploit such like TowelRoot, but you will never be able to use a custom recovery, system image (ROM), or kernel.

Sprint told me they don't lock bootloaders. What's this all about?
I've been perusing threads in the s7 forums, members have tried and failed to flash anything onto the US variants, international versions have been rooted though.

This is probably on Samsung, not Sprint, tbh.
Either way, the Galaxy 7 customers in the U.S. are completely screwed, as far as ever getting root/recovery/any development for Galaxy 7s goes.
No chance of development means no real need for these forums on XDA, honestly.
(I mean, this is an Android Development website.)
Let the devs figure it out if they can; until that happens there's nothing to really do here. ?

Edit: here's the metropcs firmware https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwpP0WNhAe9vdXZkVUNvMXFqMWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Edit:Title is wrong, its a sm-g550t1
Hi there. I'm really in desperate need of help. I am not always a very smart man.
I recently installed TWRP using the guide for this phone, and the first thing I encountered was I couldn't install it from download mode due to FRP. So I googled that, saw it would go away if I unlinked my Google accounts, which it did. Then I made a backup immediately.
However, later I linked my Google accounts and so now, after restarting, my phone will just say Custom Binary blocked by FRP. I can no longer access recovery mode, only download mode, and I can't install anything due to the FRP lock.
I am very frustrated, have gotten little sleep, because as I said I am not always a very smart man. I rely on my phone for my work and I can't afford another one. Someone gave me the stock firmware but its in the TWRP format and I don't know how to install those files with Odin.
So please, if you have time I really need help. If i could offer any sort of financial thanks I would but I just can't right now. But I swear I'll send so much good karma your way. I've definitely learned a lot from this process, usually breaking **** is how I learn best, but I wish I did this with a throwaway.
So I've narrowed it down a bit. I need a stock recovery.img and maybe a stock system.img so I can flash them in odin. Please, if you can somehow help I really need it right now.

Stock Odin Firmware for Tmobile USA
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862665696
Note: you can flash this into a Metropcs G550T1 they are both same devices just different carriers ...
My girlfriend got an auto update from T-Mobile on her note 7 and it limited her phone to only charge up to 60%. So I found the stock firmware for the previous version and used Odin to flash it over. I also used package disabler pro to prevent future updates. I will link a download to all files from my Google drive as they took wayyy too long to download off of the original site. It will include, the stock firmware (there's 5 parts) Odin (latest version) and package disabler pro. Hopefully anybody reading this is familiar with Odin but if not please ask any questions I'm sure either I or someone else on here can answer them.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0c6ZaGr79eTSUt0NkJOc1VFWTg

Above is also a guide on how to use Odin for those of you who arent familiar with it!
UPDATE!!!!
Package disabler pro stopped working for me but after about 2 hours of searching i found a replacement app. The link is below!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c6ZaGr79eTUGRFWWdOMVRSODQ/view?usp=drivesdk
It allowed me to disable all of the update packages
can anyone confirm this while i wait for files to download
i was wondering the same thing and what order to do them in I don't see why it shouldn't work honestly i just haven't used oden in forever and don't want to screw it up lol
It worked fine on her phone you just have to use the app I provided to disable a few packages to stop auto updates and forced updates. I'll upload a screenshot of which ones to disable

You'd flash all 5 of the files at once. The slots on the right in Odin are labeled (for example) ap; you'd select the file I uploaded that starts with ap same with bl, csc etc.
For some reason it won't let me post a screenshot but the packages you'll want to disable are the 2 that say Software Update and one that says UrgentFWUpdateTSP
files are done downloading, ill update this post after im done trying this method
Edit: I can confirm this method works, thanks for figuring this out, also got the green battery icon back "note" the odin file OP included does not include a ini file so it does not open, i just downloaded a different one odin v3.11.1

Above is a guide to using odin the csc tmb file is the one youll want to use in the csc tab on odin. It will factory reset the phone so if theres anything important on it make sure you back it up on your computer or sd card.

Thanks, I don't think it will work, for now I'll just be happy with PI4 and able to fully charge it. They must have done something to the bootloader so as not to flash, which makes sense because they don't want you to charge above 60% and they want the phone back...I never had this problem flashing my S5....or S4....[emoji36]

A friend of mine gave me an S8 phone. Its reset and wiped clean. I was trying to set it up but it requires his old gmail account and password to get in to. The problem is, it won't take his password. He emailed google about it and he's waiting to see if they will recover his account on it. He won't be using the phone anymore as he has a new one. I'd like to use it as I have an S7 and this one has double the storage space that mine has.
If they can't recover his account, I want to flash the memory and start over. I've been a computer tech for 20 years so I know all about flashing the BIOS and how that can brick it. My question is, since I can't get into the system of the phone and see what the version of the firmware is, how confident can I rely on the back of the phone where it says SM-G950U? I've read that even though its branded that way on the back, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will show that in the system. I've downloaded the newest firmware I can find for it, SM-G950U_201910251442240_c0osvhilm6_fac from Updato and will use Odin to flash it with.

My mistake, I knew what phone he had I mean it's clearly written in the description. It looks like I posted the wrong link ACCIDENTLY. Nobody's phone was bricked. Well mistake made and valuable lesson learned. As far as the way you came at me questioning me if this is for guys device is pathetic to say the least. How you gonna ask that when it clearly says that. If this is what XDA is all about you know just read your response to my mistake, I won't be part of it. I'm about helping people and not smashing them when they make a mistake. Clearly you feel it's necessary to talk to people like that. What's that say about you?

I wouldn't sweat it dude. Most everybody on the Samsung forums are as critical as can be. Ask the wrong question or give a different point of advice and they'll burn you faster than gasoline on paper. Most the complainers in here are the ones with the North American device, brick this brick that blah blah blah

You know I've been sitting here thinking about this. And it's TRUE 100% most of the bricks and bricking does happen on the locked us devices. Me myself even have a semi bricked one just sitting here to no avail of fixing hours and hours spent. They are a lot more finicky it seems than a unlocked bootloader ???
I'm sorry but I'm still having trouble getting this to work. I've tried the combo file and putting the extracted file in the AP section, and while that works, the phone just goes into a loop from the Factory Binary to that Settings screen and once its rebooted, it all starts again. What am I doing wrong? I've reset it to factory data several times.
Phone is an S8 64GB SM-G950U used on Straight Talk. Has Tracfone branding on screen when booted.

This is one of the latest bit 7 firmware. It is u1 unlocked carrier bloat free. This is what I use in mine. Sam mobile is slow. You can try internet download manager to speed it up a bit. But if your over seas or wanting non branded this is the way to go.

It's all good man. I couldn't believe I effed up like that. Thank God that didn't turn out bad. That day I had so many tabs open and was trying to finish it up before rushing off to work never checking the link I posted.
My apologies for the wrong link and coming at you the way I did. Water under the bridge.
