hello
is it possible to flash a custom rom via odin?
the reason i say this is for some reason now i cannot enable oem unlock in developer settings, keeps showing a device protection function and even when i click enable the slider switches on for a second then goes back. i have tried many stock roms using the latest versions from samsung.
so i am wondering if i can bypass the having to enable the oem unlock to flash twrp recovery then the custom rom and just flash custom rom straight from odin.

In simple terms, you can't flash anything thats not officially by samsung through odin or anything else if you don't have OEM Unlock enabled (or can't enable it due to any reason) ..
Plus as I know.. even if oem unlock is enabled.. odin can only flash official stock roms..
For flashing any custom rom you need to use twrp..
But twrp can be flashed through odin.

Dear Community,
I have managed to reach this wonderful error message on my S8. A few of you knew this maybe with "FRP" from other Samsung devices. However, I know I get this because I am using a custom rom and a modified kernel. I also do know a possible solution might be flashin a new stock firmware through Odin - so my question is, how can I save my data? I only need my Whatsapp folder and my pictures.
For the nosy readers, I did download a GPS Faker App from the Google Playstore, and I had to re-enable my developer settings. Sadly I forgot to push the button for "OEM Unlock" to yes.
Have a nice day!
Sadly there is no other way to fix this, the only way I got it to work again was to go into Odin mode and flash a stock firmware ( I also lost root access and TWRP, which I installed afterwards again )
You can YouTube how to flash a stock firmware
Hopefully this helped

Is there no other option like installing an unmodified kernel through odin? Tried with Jesse, but I was not able to transform the flashable .zip to a .tar.md5 for Odin.
I'm pretty sure to install a custom kernel you need OEM unlocked, but I might be wrong... I just installed the firmware i needed from sammobile and flashed it using Odin.

Just to touch on this for future readers.
He already had OEM Unlocked (So to speak) He has flashed a stock ROM or Custom ROM, and continued with Rooted, TWRP and maybe Xposed.
But for one reason or another he has had to activate the developer settings to change a toggle.
In doing so, he changed the toggle needed, but this also Triggers the OEM Option.
If you do not select the OEM Option, then when you reboot your device, you are locked with this message.
It basically sets it self to off.
There is no way to bypass this message, the system has blocked itself from booted and thats that.
All you can do is flash the Stock Files via Odin again, You may be lucky flashing the Home_CSC file to prevent Data loss, But dont hold your breath

Hello. I got stuck in the "custom binary blocked FAP lock" too. my question is: will there be any problem if i try to flash a firmware from another country? Also, what are the risks that i completely brick my phone?
I was on stock rom 8.0, with twrp and magisk installed.

one of the lucky ones here.
I think my biggest obstacle is my Mac. Got all my pre-requistes sorted out , run jOdin, connected to phone, open up the firmware folder and designate the correct files, get the PIT file, and click start.... and get "A corrupted file was detected. In order to continue, you must select a valid Odin File" error . Downloaded several firmwares and cant get past this issue.. Not sure what to do (new versions of jOdin comptability? But even back in 2017, i tried flashing with jOdin but never succeeded despite following every step.
Hi,
I have a T580 stuck at Android 7.0 (failed to update).
Ideally, I'd want to change to custom ROM with smaller footprint. It's an old device with only 16 GB storage. I've tried to root the device but failed.
I think I can't flash custom ROM with Odin. So I have to flash to stock ROM first with Odin. And then probably go with TWRP and try a custom ROM.
Which stock ROM is the safest to do this?
Thanks

If you can still boot to 7, you don't need to flash another stock ROM. Just make sure OEM is enabled in Developer mode options and then flash TWRP. Then, you can use TWRP to flash custom ROMs. Just make sure you follow the instruction carefully when installing TWRP, because if you let it boot back to stock, it will just write over TWRP. You disable Auto reboot in the Odin options, so you can make it boot to TWRP before booting to system.

Hi all i hope i'm in the right section.
I have a T510 with stock rom T510XXU5CUF4.
I successful unlocked the bootloader (i have the message when i bott that tells me that the bootloader in unlocked).
After the bootloader unlovk i've tryied to flash the custom rom (Lineage) using tarball with odin.
The procedure says that i must flash the rom with Odin using AP.
Every time i try to flash it immediately i have a FAIL message from Odin (i've try different cables and different computers) and the result is a softbrick.
the same happen when after the bootloader unlock i try to flash twrp.
Could someone explain me why i can't flash a costum rom or twrp on this tablet?
Thanks

I can see two possibilities. First of all, the latest stock is CUJ1 and not CUF4. Two, does the custom ROM include a blank vbmeta file? You might want to follow the instructions to flash TWRP prior to flashing the ROM.
I've try with the instructions for twrp and it doesn't work too. Anything I try to flash except stock I get fail message. Maybe I should do something else? Does my bootloader looks unlocked but it is locked?

The first thing you need to do is flash the latest, CUJ1, stock ROM. You can use frija.exe to get it. All of the things you are trying to flash are based on that kernel. Also, you need to boot the stock ROM, connect wifi, skip the rest of the setup and enable Dev mode before trying to flash custom stuff.
If i understand correctly i need to flash a stock recovery, then twrp then whatever... but im having a problem flashing a stock recovery. Ive tired 3 different versions of Odin. I successfully flashed the official rom in Odin but afterwards the phone was not being detected by Windows.. also in developer options there is no option to OEM unlock.any help would be appreciated. Android version 5.0.2. Secureboort is enabled and reactivation lock is on.

Reactivation Lock prevents anything custom from being flashed. Need to turn that off
Hi friends;
I need your helps.
My Samsung S8 has custom Oreo rom.
-Could i flash stock Oreo rom via TWRP?
-If i can flash by this way, will bootlodder and TWRP deleted?
Thanks in advance
If you flash a modified stock ROM specially prepared for use with TWRP, then BL and TWPR will remain unchanged.
If you flash the original stock ROM (firmware) then you can only do it through Odin or Heimdall, and in that case you will lose TWPR and BL (if it was different from the existing one).

Thank you very much;
I have one more question to you.
Now bootloader is unlocked. I can flash custom roms via TWRP.
If I flash the original stock ROM (firmware) via Odin, will bootloader be locked?
After flashing you activate developer mode and re-enable unlocking if it is not already enabled.

Surely you know that your stock ROM will not have all the functionality that the original has, because you have a Knox flag violation on your phone.

I need "car mirrolink" feature.
Existing custom Oreo rom has car mirrorlink feature(in Settings-Other connections menu),
but when i connected phone to car i cant use mirrorlink apps because there is not certificates.
If I flash stock Oreo Rom via Odin, can i use car mirrorlink feature flawless?
Once in TWRP, backup to an external microSD and copy the resulting directory to another device.
Flash the original firmware and see if what you need works.
If you have problems, you can re-upload TWRP via Odin and restore a copy of the custom ROM from the microSD.
