Samsung TAB A7 recovery blocked - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I have a Samsung SM T-505 which I have been developing/testing on Scalefusion MDM and stupidly removed it from MDM, forgetting it was PIN locked.
Now the PIN is not accepted, the recovery menu doesn't even show factory reset and I cant use ADB or ODIN as USB debugging is not enabled.
Is there any way to reset this tablet? I CAN get it into sideload mode, but attempting to load a stock rom just gave a certificate error.
Can anyone help?

Samsung Galaxy On5 Soft-Brick Troubleshooting

Hello people, I'm just going to get straight into it... FRP blocked my custom binary on my Samsung Galaxy On5. I am new to FRP and I wasn't being careful when restoring a backup via TWRP. Now I can only boot into download mode and OEM Unlock is disabled from what i can tell. I've tried Odin i can kinda flash the AP file it doesn't work obviously but it does mark my system as official for some reason so FRP isn't triggered but then it tells me to use smart switch to restore it via emergency restore. I can also flash the CSC and CC back to get to square one. I've tried Smart Switch but i don't know my serial number to do the initialization i have an idea of what it might be since i do have a TWRP backup of my phone on my PC so shouldn't my serial be there? Any idea to fix my phone or is it fully bricked?

Galaxy J5 J500F bricked after loading a custom ROM and closing OEM

Hello,
Recently I have rooted my samsung galaxy J5 SM-J500F phone. Next I opened OEM and enabled USB debugging, and then flashed TWRP with Odin. All went well, made a full backup (i.e. all the options were selected). I have stored the files on my PC, and then foolishly closed the OEM and USB debugging. Some time after I restarted my phone and I was met with the "Custom Binary blocked by FRP" screen. I could not boot into recovery, the only screen accessible was the download screen. I have hunted for a few firmware files, tried to flash them all to no avail. They are either being blocked by the FRP, or the "secure check fail" error (when trying to flash the PIT). I would like to
a) Repair the phone (my personal files can be deleted, no need for me to keep anything)
b) Prevent this issue for recurring (perhaps by disabling this FRP permanently in some way if possible)
Thanks in advance.

s8 exynos stuck in Factory Binary, can't connect to adb "unauthorized", nor ODIN

s8 exynos stuck in Factory Binary, can't connect to adb "unauthorized", nor ODIN
Bought an S8 Exynos, tried to change my carrier with the Factory Binary. After installing Factory Binary via odin I now can not get odin to connect to the phone gets stuck at "SetupConnection". Trying to use adb says "unauthorized device" no matter how many times I start and kill adb server...
Is there any way to unbrick this phone now?
PS:
~ I can only get the phone to go to the FACTORY BINARY screens AND stock recovery screen.
~ Tried both modded and unmodded 3.13.1 ODIN

Thank for the reply, I've tried all of these suggestions with odin still "SetupConnection"
1. Keep using Odin 3.13.1
2.Failng at setup connection :.some.things to try
- make sure you have latest Samsung drivers for your PC.
- if you have smart switch uninstall it as it can cause issues. It may be worth while to try using smart switch to see if that will update your phone.
- connect directly to a USB 2 port ( not a USB 3 or any USB hubs) on your PC.
- try a different usb lead ( data )
- try booting into download mode,restart and go straight back into download mode again then connect to PC.
- run Odin in administrator mode on PC.
- try a different PC.

Custom binary blocked by FRP lock (SM-T285) need some help

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 (SM-T285) which I bought today. I followed this tutorial to install twrp, ultimately to root the device:
I can't even post links so sad. But the link was of **********.
Everything worked fine and I was able to boot and reboot fine. Until I signed in with my Google Account. After trying to reboot, I get a black screen with the Samsung logo and a text in red saying: Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock. I went back to the store and they advised me to install Samsung Smart Switch to try and restore. In the Smart Switch program I get an error saying that the device is not supported by Smart Switch.
I can get into download mode, not into any other mode. I can't get into recovery mode. The tablet doesn't start up at all. On the download mode it also says FRP Lock ON.
When I go back into ODIN and retry to install the from above TWRP image, it says operation failed.
Can anybody please advice? I am at a complete loss. Am I supposed to flash the original boot file? Where can I find that for my device? Will my tablet accept that, since ODIN didn't even want to flash my current TWRP image a second time?
P.S. I only read later that you are supposed to change the OEM setting. I didn't. Is that the cause of this issue, and if so, can I do something about it?
Thanks

Reinstall stock rom
Change OEM setting in Developer Options
Then you install TWRP - Turn off auto reboot in TWRP
After ODIN install, manually reboot to recovery.

SM T500 Oem unlock not appearing?

BUJ1 fw. I had previously rooted the device and it was working fine, then x days later found it wouldnt boot (teal screen with 'enrolled knox guard prevent flashing factory binary (vbmeta)' displayed) so I reflashed the stock binary. Now when I go into dev options, I cant get OEM unlock to appear (tried the date forward/back.. didnt work). Anyone know how I can fis that?
Additionally, in download mode the tab shows 'oem lock off (u)' and 'kg status normal', but when I try to flash the magisk modified ap file to root it, it fails almost at the end of the odin process with the 'enrolled knox guard prevent flashing factory binary (vbmeta)' error displayed on the download screen. Rebooting then boots back into the stock android. Is this likely to be linked to the owm unlock being unavailable in dev options even tho the device is showing oem lock is off?
