Hello people.
So i got a custom recovery (TeamWin project) for my Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 [A510F] and disabled OEM Unlock on purpose, because i thought it wouldn't show the red line up in the bootscreen.
After trying to reboot, it wouldn't reboot, and i can't go into Recovery mode. I can't install any custom firmware too, because i've got the OEM Unlock set to "off"
Can someone please help, i can't find a topic similiar to my case, where i've bricked my phone and have no idea what to do.
Also fastboot doesn't recognize my device even though the right drivers are installed.
Have you tried Download mode ( vol - home button and power button) ?

Just download official firmware and flash with odin. (Make sure not to downgrade os version. )
go to downloadmode, be sure drivers are installed, COM must be green,flash firmware with odin "only PDA", return into bootlader after reboot, flash twrp, boot into recovery mode done
Same thing happened to me.
Don't search for any file, the solution is very simple: download Samsung Smart Switch (only Windows, Mac version didnt work for me).
On menu click "Others" then "Emergency software recovery". Write A510F and then your phone Serial Number. Wait 30/60 mins ?
Sent from my SM-A510F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I was trying to root my phone
odin failed and my phone showed "Custom Binary (Recovery): Blocked By FRP Lock"
I was following this video

What went wrong ?

Then the phone rebooted and now it is stuck in the Samsung logo !!
What should I do ?
look through this forum - i only put the answer on here yesterday

you just install frimware latest one and activate it with ur google account. than oem unlock than flash with root via odin
Im having this issue with my phone i accidently ticked off the oem unlock in development settings I put the phone in download mode because thats the only mode i can get into (recovery and regular boot does not work) when I connect to pc now it shows up as usb serial device in ports or it shows up as samsung modem and odin wont flash the firmware
I never had any issue. You get a single recovery.IMG and flash it. The s6e+ is tricky. You should have a custom ROM or what you want to flash ready and just flash twrp, boot immediately into it. Backup phone via twrp then wipe it and flash custom ROM. This will ensure you don't get any real issues or fpr blocked. Also use XDA tuts or get help here, YouTube can go good or bad. Recovery images are device specific. If you have f and flash t it won't work. You have to really look at what you are flashing and match model information. I'm seeing a lot of people fpr blocked and in trouble. I might go make a little walkthrough
Here's another rooting guide for SM-J530F/DS (Dual Sim) stock ROM. Even with Lineage OS my hardware model (ordered March 2018, EU SIM card only) tends to mute the main speaker after rooting. This rooting method works for me and is based on the work of others, especially ananjaser1211 and Abdullah_a86.
Make a backup of everything and make sure that the backup is usable. You are responsible if following this description and flashing bricks your phone. It did work for me which does not mean that it also works for you.
Enable Developer options. (Settings, About phone, Software information, tap a few times on Build number)
OEM unlock the phone. (Settings, Developer options, OEM UNLOCK: enable - otherwise you will bootloop)
Reboot into download mode.
Flash J530F_TWRP_3.2.1.0.tar (in AP) with Odin.
Now TWRP is installed and you should be able to use your phone as usual or to boot into TWRP recovery.
Rooting will erase everything, verify your backup again unless this is a new phone.
Reset the phone. (Open Settings, About Phone, (Looking for something else?) RESET, Factory data reset, Reset, DELETE ALL)
Reboot into recovery, a cleanup script will run and reboot after a few seconds.
Reboot into recovery again, install SuperSu and reboot (wipe nothing).
Starting takes a little time, after running the initial setup SuperSU is installed and the speaker works as expected.
I started here a few times after no-sound, no-root and/or bootloop experiences with LineageOS, CF-Autoroot and Magisk. If you upgrade to this firmware version you can no longer downgrade to a previous firmware version. Follow this only if you break something, want to un-root, update your firmware and/or start from scratch:
Force a reboot if necessary and then boot into download mode. All data on the phone will be lost.
Flash the J530FDBT2ARB3 firmware with Odin (AP*, BL*, CP* and CSC*. Do not use HOME_CSC*).
Now you have again a phone with stock firmware without root.

I think this might fix you booting into download mode problem try this post. Read "how to fix" near the bottom. Please Thank us if it does. This same thing happened to me and I wish I stumbled across this earlier because I figured this out on my own by just messing around going from recovery to download mode and it eventually fixed itself.
Recently, I turned off developer options in my rooted S7 Edge (SM-G935FD). Idk if that is the cause, but after rebooting I got the error "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock". I couldnt boot into my recovery (TWRP) either. I was running on Oreo btw. I watched some Youtube guides and apparently the solution was to flash stock rom. So... I flashed an Oreo Stock Rom on my phone via Odin. I thought that would solve my problem, but instead it made it worse. It didnt give me the Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock error but my boot screen is stuck at the boot animation (not a bootloop). I could boot into the stock recovery tho. I tried a factory reset, that didnt make things better. I could also boot into download mode. I thought I made a mistake, so I flashed like 5-8 times with both CSC an Home_CSC. The result was the same, it would get stuck at the boot animation. I tried flashing TWRP via Odin too, but it said "Custom Binary (Recovery) blocked by FRP Lock". I tried sideloading that TWRP file to my device via ADB. It gave me an error too (I think "Cannot flash from external devices" or something like that) I thought flashing with Re-partition and Nand Erase On would solve my problem, so I tried that, but it didnt work. Im running on Binary 3 apparently. Is there anything I can do?

I still have the "FRP Lock: On" on download mode, so I tried bypassing FRP lock via binary 5 combination firmware and flashing a binary 7 stock firmware. This time, it doesnt get stuck at the boot animation, instead it redirects to a screen with an android face saying "Installing System updates". A few seconds later, it says "No command" with a dead android face. Then it reboots and the same thing happens. Basically a boot loop, but in a different way. I cant seem to boot to stock recovery either. The worst thing is that I cant even turn off the thing. I have to leave it loop for the entire day until its battery dies

That is what I literally did. I flashed a combination firmware, factory rested my entire phone, turned on developer options as well as allow usb debugging, attempted to reset FRP via Z3X Samsung Tool Pro and finally flashed a stock rom. And, the result is this. A bootloop with an android face dying. I did manage to enter a different screen by pressing volume up once along with pressing volume down and power button. It said "could not open recovery_because_no file directory" and had some more errors. The thing is....I made it worse at the first place. I could have flashed a room with binary 6 or lower, cuz at least the combination firmware would have been available to flash, but my stupid brain did not think of that. I flashed a binary 7 stock rom and there is no combination firmware with a binary of 7 or more. Which means, I will most likely get the "SW check fail Device: 7 Binary: 6 " error while flashing.

If the device is still entering download mode, install the recent version of stock for your device. Maybe that will solve your problem.

the "no such file or directory" error is due to either having had removed stock recovery in flashing the firmwares or the factory recovery corrupted due to likely the same reason. Just flash a revision 7 firmware for your phone and it will at least boot

I have literally flashed the latest stock rom for my device and my country which is G935FXXS7ESK8.
I am a bit confused tho...I am not sure if my device is SM-G935FD or SM-G935F. The download mode says SM-G935F...but this phone used to work with a SM-G935FD rom back in the days. Is this causing the problem most likely? And btw the repair shop said they cant fix it too

I am somehow relieved to know that someone else on this planet is on the same (EXACT) boat as me....this is what we get for messing around too much with our phone hum?
1 - After booting up my phone I get the blue background with a dead Android and "No Command" message
2 - I tried accessing recovery by pressing Power+Home+VolumeUp, but all I get is a black screen with a wall of code lines with "fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)" at the beggining of the text.
3 - "No problem! I'll just flash TWRP with ODIN and install a custom ROM and be done with it!".
..NOPE! FRP(factory reset protection) is ON!!! I cannot install TWRP
4- I've tried to find a combination file with binary version 7...but looks like the internet doesn't seem to care about the good ol' number 7...All I can find is binary version 6.
What Im trying to do now is creating my own combination file binary version 7 (if that's even a thing...) from a stock firmware. But I'm not getting any luckier down this path.
Looks like we need a hero...:crying:

No luck over here friend...
Desperate times require desperate measures. Have you ever tried flashing combination files from different S7 Edge versions?
I can find files for the G935A with a revision 7 of the binary...Im thinking flashing it into my G935F and see what happens. I've read the risks associated with installing firmwares from other phone versions, but I'll have a paperweight either way.
I'll keep this thread updated.

Doesn't really matter if you have a F or FD. I'd say you flash the latest stock rom for G935F or FD(which ever is latest) for any country regardless. By this you should be able to boot and won't get any odin errors.

Turns out, its a hardware problem with the storage. Replacing the motherboard might be the solution I think. :/

At first u can flash ur phone to leatest stock rom. Then u have to turn of frp lock. Then u will able to boot up your phone. If u cant fix u can knock me on facebook. (If u r a z3x user). Bcoz u need z3x for bypass frp with ufs cable.

Hi guys, I have the exact same problem with my S7 edge from T-mobile (g935t). Odin will only accept for flash the latest rom and after flash it reboots but I get BSOD. I tried a pit file also from an old g935T rom which was android 6.0 and I managed to get into recovery for a moment and I did a factory reset/wipe cache but after reboot entered again in a black screen and the blue led was lit. I finally removed the battery to turn the phone off. I can still enter download mode but is there anything else I can do to resurrect the phone?
Samsung s7 edge (g935f)
Hi everyone , please am having issue of NO COMMAND and i cant boot into recovery. My oem is on so i cant install twpr neither. Am on binary u8. Please any solution to recover my phone?
Very very good new guys...yep you guessed it right. I was able to fix this problem.
How you may ask? Follow these steps
Note: Make sure you have enough battery. Lack of battery charge in my case caused alot of problems.
1. Download a U7 Rom for your SM-G935F or SM-G935FD
2. Extract the Rom as well as the AP
3. After you extract the AP, you will be greeted with boot.lz4.img , recovery.lz4.img , system.lz4.img & meta-data
4. Make a backup of recovery.lz4.img and meta-data just in case. Also, make a copy of boot.lz4.img and rename the copied one to recovery.lz4.img. Don't forget to delete the original recovery and meta-data
5. Now, you should be left with boot.lz4.img , (modified) recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img.
6. Now, download this https://www.mediafire.com/file/ah20ha869prdkkc/Autotar2.0_By_FixFirmwares.com.rar/file
7. Now, make a .md5 file that contains (modified) recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img
8. After you are done making that .md5, flash it along with CSC, CP and BL.
9. You should directly boot into your device, (if you do), charge your phone for a while if the battery is lower than 20%.
10. Then, go to the settings and enable OEM Unlock before doing ANYTHING
11. Then, reboot to download mode and flash TWRP
12. Download the no-verity-encryption.zip
https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe
13. Allow system modifications and format data (NOT WIPE)
14. If that doesn't work, go to TWRP, connect it to your PC and copy the no-verity-encryption.zip file and install it
15. If that still doesn't work then, follow this tutorial
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....niversal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389/amp/
16. Then, you should boot and yea...enjoy ?
If this method doesn't work then, you need to try different combinations.
Try packing these files in AP
1. Boot.lz4.img, (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img
2. (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img
3. Meta-data, Boot.lz4.img, (Modified) Recovery.lz4.img & system.lz4.img
If that doesn't work, I'm sorry this is how I fixed it. ?*
For anyone wondering how I fixed it well, firstly a HUGE THANKS TO @shah22 & @Tapas27sTapas2. This would have been LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT THEM. So, basically I tried an AP with renamed recovery.lz4.img and system.lz4.img only along with CP, CSC and BL. Due to my phone having literally 0%, this journey was very difficult.
Feel free to ask any question
