I followed this with Stock Android 10 , but the device was still in loop with these symptoms:
- resets after 2 Minutes just showing "Samsung" writing on screen
- duplicate entry of "recovery"
- odin showed no error, I tried home_csc as well as csc
I switched to Android 9 image and now I could revive the tablet, I hab to go through the FRP after Start, but thats ok.
Maybe there's some issues with the new image (also the duplicate recovery seems to be caused by V10)....
After applying 3 OTA Updates the tablet is running like a charm again.

Try Changing the firmware . You can Flash lower Android version and then can update to Latest Android via OTA updates !

Is it possible to install a different regions firmware to my S4?

Hey guys quick question before I download and attempt it, I have an Australian i9506 (Cat 4 LTE) but we don't have an official 5.0.1 firmware yet.
Can I just download the Nordic version from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9506/ and install it, or would it brick my phone/radios not work?
Thanks

Hi mate,
Yes you can !! it will not brick it , you may have (or not) problems with the modem as maybe is not the best for your region but you can always flash another...
should not be a problem
BACKUP first , nandroid and your EFS Folder, just in case there is a problem
Just to add to the previous suggestion, use Wanam's EFS Backup Tool rather than Samsung Tool, as it not only backs up the EFS partition but the hidden partitions where the IMEI and the modem are stored.

+1 mate!!
It also depends if your phone is carrier locked.
Thanks for the advice guys I'm giving it a try now, will edit as I go. My phone is not carrier locked (Voda AU don't lock them fortunately but they provide the codes on their website for free to unlock anyway).
So I downloaded Odin3 3.09 and the firmware I9506XXUDOA6_I9506NEEDOA6_NEE (this is the link from sammobile).
I'm following the instructions I found on another site but it's basically put the phone into download mode (home, power and volume down), agree to enter download mode, in Odin for AP select the .tar.md5, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Time Reset are ticked but not Re-Partition or anything else and start.
EDIT 1: The phone rebooted into recovery and updated something, now the phone is booting with a new boot animation. (for those referring to this I was on the latest AU Voda FW, then updated to CM12 5.0.2).
EDIT 2: After the usual nerve-wracking amount of time of first boot the boot logo finally went away and the usual "optimizing apps" message has come up and it's started (235 apps whoa the bloat). Waiting for that but at least it's working to a point where I can recover it. I just realised it's 6:10AM now and I FORGOT TO MAKE A BACK UP. I hope this works but worse case scenario there's a 4.4.2 Vodafone firmware I could flash and try my luck with if this doesn't work out.
EDIT 3: I'm not sure if it's part of the setup process but the word "UP" then a short progress bar appeared on the screen, now I've got only a black screen with a status bar (4G icon is there but no clock). I have rebooted from the power menu, let's see what's going on here.
EDIT 4: Cache wipe from stock recovery didn't work, trying factory reset from stock recovery. I note that the first time I set up the phone it was plugged into the computer with ODIN still running, I don't think it could have interfered but I unplugged the phone this time just in case.
EDIT 5: I'm not sure if it was ODIN or needing to do a factory reset but it's working now, I'm running through the set up. WiFi is working 100%.
Final EDIT: Everything is working 100%, tested the camera, proximity sensor, screen rotation, voice calls, mobile data, wifi and it's all 100%.

Thanks for let in us know.
For any other Aussies out there trying this I'm on day two and everything is working perfectly, getting root is super easy too, just use Odin to flash a custom recovery (Solk's CWM from May 2014 works great), boot into the recovery and install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip, exit and when it asks if you want to repair root say yes. Reboot, go to the play store, update to the latest SuperSU and all is well.

i have same issue here, did you find any solutions ?
AFAIK when you factory reset your phone etc. if rooted you must remember to go back into Developer Options and re enable OEM Unlocking. This depends on the method you used to root, if you flashed dm-verity then you "May not" have this issue but cannot say for sure.
If it is already too late for you then I think you need to flash stock via Odin, plenty of threads out there on where to find the firmware (SamMobile) and how to do it. Even a quick google of the error gave me plenty of results...
One thing I have read is that you may have to keep trying to get your phone into download mode as the timing is much stricter with this error message.
I've the same problem with my g935x blocked on FRP when ii treid to root if any one can help .plz

@djluisbento This method seems to be interesting. But would you please clarify more about it. How to install the apk file on official recovery? Or it's enough to have the pendrive connected? And if yes, when this step should take place, after flashing the official ROM or when?
I'm stuck in a boot loop into recovery mode with dm-verity error, and unfortunately I have the FRP locked, so I can't install TWRP to flash the no-dm-verity.zip file to skip it.
Appreciate your suggestions.
I have the same issure. stock firmware wont install either. im just stuck on the FRP screen, cant even get into recovery
Same issue here, please help
Everything was fine with rooting and installing TWRP. after that did a restart/ attempt to goto twrp recovery, from then the s7 edge is stuck at "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP" and doesnt boot. please help!!
Have you do a Wipe then Format Data.
Then flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip in TWRP
Only if you want internal storage or data to work in TWRP:
Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".
WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!
Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.

Had that problem with a brand new phone, just wanted to get into download mode to see if the phone was tampered with and boom, flash screen with the red warning, flashed stock KSA (phone original CSC) , worked and phone was formatted, another surprise was faced, google did not accept my gmail account, had to shut down phone for 72 hours as read in my google search for people encountering same issue, once the 72 hours passed I was able to sign in and using my phone again.

Yes, flashed both Zips in recovery. I used my regular google account during the initial set up. If i wait for 72 hours, will the phone just boot back online just fine? Still, how do i make sure it wont goto the FRP lock again while trying to reboot or reboot to TWRP?
Solved,
Flashed with stock firmware, logged in with same google account, rooted with TWRP, installed Zubi's sound mod. Made sure to keep the 'OEM Unlock' stay turned on.

Helo
But U did this after 72 hours?
There are several methods depending on firmware version installed on your phone. Basically you have to enter in your phone, launch chrome, install an app which gives you the possibility to log into your google account from chrome and not set-up program.
I used successfully the Bluetooth method. Search for with google. You need a bluetooth headset and follow the steps described on youtube.
BTW. My phone was brand new and I flashed different official samsung firmware ( csc). I had to change google password in between and that resulted in FRP lock....
The wait time is 24 hours as is stated in google docs from site

Hello I have a related problem, opened a new thread, but my thread was closed, because my problem is related to this one, but more complicated. I have the same problem with FRP lock as described here, I can turn on the download mode but it wont be recognized by my computer. I tried different usb cables, drivers, even computers, it wont help. I cant flash it with odin, smartswitch, kies, no matter what I try. If I go to recovery mode it says `dm-verity verification failed...`and if I choose `apply update from ADB or SD card` it says `update from external storage disabled`. I dont know what to do anymore Its a new phone
FRP Block - no Dev Tools enabled
Hey guys,
you're my last resort, I've tried everything I happened to come across, to no avail.
First off, I did something incredibly stupid, don't even ask me why, as I have no idea what the heck drove me to do this in the first place.
Anyways, I was using the stock ROM on my S7 Edge, not tweaked or tinkered with besides the usual CF-Auto_Root. It never caused any trouble whatsoever. But for no reason at all this morning I decided to disable USB debuggin and OEM unlock. A short while later I rebooted my phone, which ended up in "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock".
I gave a factory reset a try, but that obviously didn't change a thing. So I went to sammobile.com and downloaded the latest official stock ROM for my device and tried flashing it with Odin. Unfortnately Odin always fails with "Complete(Write) operation failed.", which I assume is because I messed with the settings in dev mode.
Next stop: ADB. I've never used that thing before, but I thought I should possibly be able to get it done following a simple guide. Unfortunately ADB won't even list my device when typing "adb devices". It's just an empty list.
So please guys, give me some tipps on how I can bring my phone back to life.

(Soft-)Bricked S7 Edge/G935F with FRP lock & DRK error, but no root/OEM unlock/ADB

(Soft-)Bricked S7 Edge/G935F with FRP lock & DRK error, but no root/OEM unlock/ADB
Hello guys,
I bought a, what I thought to be, soft bricked S7 Edge (G935F) from the bay. It was listed as having sw issues, so I thought I could easily fix the issue myself. Stupid me, this one really isn't easy to fix. I've tried a lot of different hints that I found meandering around the web, but none of them have proofed working so far. I would appreciate some help because I don't seem to be making any progress.
When I got the phone, it would boot directly into Android Recovery with a dm-verity error on the bottom.
Below is what I have tried already:
1 . First I did the obvious, factory reset and wipe partition. No change.
2. Downloaded the latest firmware with updato (SM-G935F Region DBT) and flashed with Odin. It then booted into a screen with a hazard sign and a DRK error (Device does not have DRK, please install DRK first. press any button). Then returned to Android Recovery with variations of the DRK and dm-verity error messages
3. I flashed the same firmware again. This time the phone booted up to a Samsung error that said to use SmartSwitch's Emergency recovery. I tried but it asks for a recovery code and I don't have one.
4. I used an older version of SmartSwitch which gave me the initialization option where you need to input the device model and SN - SmartSwitch decided not to cooperate and noted that the S7 edge does not support initialization
5. I tried to flash CF-autoroot but it gave an error in Odin and failed because it is "Blocked by FRP Lock". I can't boot normally into android. Any workaround?
6. I used a dm-verity workaround file (G935FXXU1DQC4_FIX_DRK_dm-verity.tar) to actually get the phone booted up- but then it asks for the account information to do away with the FRP lock. And the former owner does not want to give me his login information. In addition, none of the workarounds (bluetooth, modem terminal prompts, etc.) did work.
7. Flashed oldest Android version I could find for the G935F - 5.1.1 - this gave me a prompt right after reboot that looks like the password request for encrypting memory. default_password and variations did not work. I am still stuck with...
No Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-verity error...
failed code : 0x02
...in the recovery
8. I flashed the combination file and was able to boot into Factory Binary and used the IMEI recovery option which is supposed to fix also the DRK issue. No luck.
So, this is where I am right now. If anyone out there still has sparks of hope, I would be delighted to hear about them.
Thanks much in advance!
Conversion software and ADB Shell
Small update - I booted into factory mode again using the conversion firmware. This way, I could connect to the device via ADB and use ADB shell. There is a guide (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516) which guides through IMEI recovery using the conversion software and factory mode - that is supposed to also help with DRK issues. Did not work for me.
Another great guide (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...fix-drk-dm-verity-factory-csc-serial-t3422965) used ADB shell to push and repair the DRK with some additional files. Since the device is not rooted, I did not get very far, either.
So, no progress whatsoever.
In summary, I can get the device booted up into factory mode using the conversion firmware, or, by using the dm-verity tweaked firmware, I can end up in the Google Account locked part of the initial start-up settings.
Any ideas?
Have you looked at the process to completely re-do a phone stuck in the Google auth log-in? At least that is how I understand where you are stuck. I have a phone arriving soon that I will need to re-flash to get out of that, via Odin.

Hi JeffDC,
Thanks a lot for the reply. How would this process look like? I have flashed the phone with all sorts of variations of Android L, M and N - plus the combination fw and the one with the dm-verity/DRK workaround which at least got the phone booted up. But then I am stuck at the google auth request.
I cannot flash anything custom since the FRP lock is on.
Hence, if there is any other way to re-do the phone as you are saying, I would live to hear about it.

Hi JeffDC,
Thanks a lot for the links.
Link #1: I can flash the file #1 and get the device visible for ADB by using the combination FW before starting the steps. Unfortunately, step #2 does not work due to lack of permissions. I guess because of missing root.
Links #2 and #3: These are the guides I was already referencing in my post #2 - they both do not work due to, I guess, missing root.
Smart Switch initialization
Update: I got smart switch to do the update and initialization for the device. Workaround was to use a different real serial number than the one of the actual device (I can only assume that it has got to do with country presets).
Cool stuff, all went smooth - but, still the same result. The device ends up in recovery showing the dm-verity error (failed code : 0x02) with FRP lock on and no root.

Interesting read, particularly ignoring the trojan squabbling.
Uses script and setup files to get around FRP.
I suggest you to re-try flashing with Odin the Stock Marshmallow Firmware. Then Boot Into Stock Recovery do a Full Wipe.

Hi JEffDC, thanks for the follow-up hints. Very interesting read and approach. As commented in the other thread, I think the package download link in the opening post is dead. I am also curious to see 2 more complexities in action:
1. Will this work on a G935F variant (Exynos vs Snapdragon)?
2. The only way for me to get to the Google Account prompt is by using the modded dm-verity version mentioned in my first post - but I am not sure I can get ADB access enabled simultaneously
Good luck.

Hey sathiere,
Came across this. It apparently removes the FRP before the system can start it up! Let me know what you think. I'm going to try it on a locked Edge next week or two. Seems to go right after the FRP protection file.

Yes, I am hoping for a response to my post there, near the end, clarifying. I think I get the method, and it's really pretty straight forward, really.
sathiere, I think basically what it does is provide two connections to the phone at the same time, one via Odin, and the other via direct ADB.
Step one is to flash a Universal boot loader, which is unlocked or can be unlocked via ADB. Now with the locked boot loader out of the way, on to getting rid of FRP.
Step two is run the. bat file which deletes the Persistence file, which is the Google encrypted setup file/FRP file. BOOM, FRP gone.
Then either stay on the Universal bootloader, or go back and flash the OEM.
Brilliant!
I have the same problem with a sm930f binary 2 boot loader. Stock Rom doesn't start and frp lock. How you fix it ? Thank you
Try this method

Samsung S5 (SM-G900F) Stock Flash caused Samsung logo screen bootloop help/advice

Hi ladies/gents,
I've just flashed my Samsung S5 (SM-G900F) with the latest UK BTU stock firmware from sammobile.com for my unlocked device (I've used SIM cards in the device in 3 different countries fine).
I reset the device into Boot mode, cleared the cache and factory reset, then boot the phone into download mode.
Using Odin I flashed the .tar.md5 file under the "AP" section of Odin with auto-reboot & F.Reset Time checked , the process was a success (according to Odin), and then when the phone restart: nothing but being stuck on the Samsung S5 boot flashing boot screen.
I've tried clearing the cache and factory resetting again, as well as installing the AP file again, to no joy.
I'm pretty dumbfounded by this as it seems this is the most straight forward and "safe" flashing to do on the device, yet now I seem to have bricked the phone in doing so.
Most of the advice I can find on the internet to fix the boot loop issue suggests doing the exact process I have just ran through, so I'm pretty close to calling it quits and looking at another brand of smartphone.
If anyone has any advice on how I can try and recovery the use of my phone, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks.
Okay guys/gals in the time it took me to feel sorry for myself and get desperate enough to create a post here the phone seems to have just turned on and working fine
I did restart the phone a bunch of times, but it seems just leaving it 20-30+ minutes does the trick.
Patience is a virtue!
Hi
I am having exactly the same issue with a G900I - tried everything!
Any advice??

N910F Stock firmware corrupted.

My note 4, randomly crashed, running completely stock.
Began bootlooping and hasn't stopped.
Have downloaded firmwares from Samsung-Firmware . org, as SamMobile will literally not allow me to download anything for free??
No firmware has worked on the device, Have tried numerous PDA versions as I am unsure which the phone originally is.
The first firmware gave the error "dm-verity verification failed" in the recovery menu.
Have wiped cache and data.
Note: This is actually the second N910F which had corrupted itself and stopped working.
Help! :angel:
Do you want to recover some data from it?
If Not than you can try factory reset from Recovery menu.
Other than that it might be memory corrupted or your battery.
Try to change the battery.

New battery: Allowed the phone to boot past the first "Samsung Note 4" screen to : "Samsung" logo, but the phone made a loud beep/screech.
If you want to reflash the Stock ROM search for a version on https://updato.com
I just reflashed mine (g910f) even twice as I had an Infini-Boot, too. After cleaning Dalvik/Cache and formatting data, taking out the battery, after some time it suddenly displayed that it's going to setup apps and it works since then ...
So maybe just be patient.

My note 4, randomly crashed, running completely stock.
Began bootlooping and hasn't stopped.
Have downloaded firmwares from Samsung-Firmware . org, as SamMobile will literally not allow me to download anything for free??
No firmware has worked on the device, Have tried numerous PDA versions as I am unsure which the phone originally is.
The first firmware gave the error "dm-verity verification failed" in the recovery menu.
Have wiped cache and data.
Note: This is actually the second N910F which had corrupted itself and stopped working.
Help! :angel:

to get the latest stock rom for your device, free and fast
look what you have to do:
download this (windows ) application and install it on your windows pc.
This is the aplication that will allow you to search and download the latest stock rom for your phone.
It connect to Samsung servers and in very little time you will have a new stock rom on your pc.
choose samfirm 3.06
extract it on a folder on your PC and run samfirm.exe
in the opening menu type
SM-N910F(or T/V/W etc your phones model)
REGION..... xxx (your region code)
these 2 you can find in a sticker under your battery if you open the phone and take off the battery
tick '' BINARY NATURE''
(If you dont tick BINARY...'' you will get the whole stock rom in one file xxxx.tar.md5 to flash it in the oding using the AP tab)
CHECK UPDATES>DOWNLOAD
THIS WAY YOU WILL GET THE LATEST STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE/REGION
Binary nature means the rom split in 4 files
1. BL- bootloader
2.AP - rom
3. CP - modem
4. CSC - Customer support code(region/country)
This is what a stock rom is consist of
this kind of rom is also called REPAIR ROM, because you can use it to repair your phone.
If you look in odin you will find exactly these 4 entries.
So you can put each in the appropriate box and flash them all and so have a stock rom.
push start
Wait until rom flashes and phone reboots.
Hopefully it will solve your problem and everything will go as we all wish to.
BUT, from what you are describing, i am afraid for 2 things:
1. Your battery is almost dead, thats the good scenario .
With 20 $ you will solve it.
So new battery, new rom> problem solved, or
2. You are starting to have the emmc failure on your phone.
Thats a tough one.
Lets hope its not the case.
Just in case
