This makes absolutely no sense. Please explain what you need in proper terms otherwise no one will be able to help you. Also, you might want to read the pinned threads in the general and q&a sections to help you better understand terms and definitions. Good luck.

...I read this post 5 times trying to figure out exactly what you want to do, or even think you can do! Honestly if you don't know anything about rooting then this particular phone will end up as a brick. The bootloader is locked on AT&T S4. No way around it unless you are NOT on MF3 or later... Is your phone actually rooted?? You can't reset the counter anyway.

The bootloader is locked on our phone. You wont be able to downgrade your firmware. What firmware are you current on? I can exlain to you how to get back to stock and rooted with Safestrap and the TWRP version that works for it.

The recovery that works with Safestrap is TWRP. And depending on which firmware you just flashed it will either be version that is specific for that firmware. Do you have Safestrap installed yet?

It should have booted past that screen before waiting the ten minutes. Can you still get in Safestrap? Sometimes you can have a bad download. Try one of the mirrors for the rom link and download again. Or you can try to wipe and flash it again. I had problems with hyperdrive when i tried using it. (Some roms just don't work on some people's phone). Can you try another rom like. Deadly Venom or Google Play? Seems most people have fewer problems getting those installed.

ok so i cant get into TWRP i had it running all night thinking that maybe it will work in the morning but nothing. also i went into stock recovery and wiped all data and partitions but still nothing. i cant figure out hoe to go back a step and put in the right hyperdrive rom. if you can walk me through the process to get back in my phone then send me a link of a hyperdrive rom that actually works that would be awesome. i feel so close but at the same time so far away! lol thanks in advance

Your best option, and proven to work would be to just reflash your current firmware or downgrade back to MK2. Then root it easily with Saferoot. Then Safestrap it, which comes with TWRP recovery. Once that is done you can either restore a backup of the rom... if you have one on the SD card. Or download the rom again for the firmware you are on.
That's what I would do, (have done) when that happened. None of which is very hard to do either. So... what firmware are you on?

I really wouldn't know how to correctly walk you through with installing Safestrap through ADB because because of the different way it mounts.

[GUIDE] Galaxy S6 Root 5.1.1. (Most variants)

This is a new Root method I made using @g.lewarne @mikeyinid for the Custom Kernel
---------------------------------------------------------
-----------Galaxy S6 Root (Most Variants)----------
(G920S/K/L/W8/T)
Trips Knox
Disclamer I am not responsible for any damages.
Processed at your own risk!
Must have Oem Unlocked enabled in developer settings!
----------------------------------------------------
Step 1- Extract this .ZIP
Step 2- Make Sure all drivers are installed
Step 3- Open Odin3_v3.10.6 as Admin
Step 4- Select AP/Bootloader and locate the file
named S6-UniKernel_v2-0002-ODIN.tar
<Once rebooted you should see a red text "Kernel is
not Seandroid inforcing" ignore it you should see
Super User installed, Transfer the TWRP Manager.apk>
Step 5- Install TWRP Manager.apk, ignore SD card fix
pop-up and a pop should be of BusyBox is required
download it and install it from the Play Store
Step 6- Go to the TWRP app and click on the three bar
menu icon and select Install Twrp, scroll down for
"Samsung Galaxy S6"
Step 7- Select "Recovery Version to Install"
select the version you want and once its finsihed
downloading/installing it will say "do you want

you should be in TWRP
Step 8- Enjoy Flashing roms

I don't know, I think it wouldn't cause it has a looked bootloader, under development options in settings do you see Oem Unlocking? Sprint, At&t and verzion typically look their bootloader, I'll give you an answer in a couple of minutes.

No, this unfortunately only works on models G920S/K/L/W8/T

@JerryIsaMaster Hey, exactly what have you done here.. As far as I know, just flash the UniKernel and you get root access. What else did you add to this, pls tell me. And you are sharing g.lewarne's file only (in fact newer version 0003 is available now)... sure, you have continued to write a guide on how to get TWRP. Is that what you added? Or is it TWRP's own app that installs, what else, TWRP recovery once you select the right device and give root permissions to it. Don't take me wrong, I am just wondering for past 15 mins what new you are bringing here in regard to root access.

I decided to be the crazy one and try it on the Sprint version (G920P) - it works and roots, but the touchscreen doesn't work anymore.

HELP
I flashed thius file, on my Sprint S6, now when it reboots, it is red up top and finally boots up. However it says no sim, and I cannot press any buttons or change anything.
I tried to ODIN back to stock and it fails before it can flash anything
What sugguestions do any of you have? Please

If you need it working immediately, you'll need to take it to the Sprint store. I only flashed it because I have a spare phone to use while I mess around with it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 LTE AT&T SM-T337A bootloop Help.

I've scoured the net all day and I cannot find a way to fix my new tablet. I thought I had it on http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/link-original-firmware-images-tab-4-7-t2978495 but I got a 404 error. Does anyone have that file?
I had forgotten that you could not do a permanent root on 5.1.1 and used kingo root on it. Now i'm in deep trouble. My new unlocked (once at&t) tablet is boot looped and it has the custom icon, which means once the seller sees that they will know that I tried to root it if they are techy enough. So I must at least get rid of the custom before I can send it off to them for a replacement. (I might be able to blame it on a kid but I don't know how that will fly) I've tried kies, odin and everything else I can find but haven't be able to fix it. So I was hoping that someone here could advise me. I don't care about the info on it, that's replaceable but I really want to know how to fix my tablet. I can get it into recovery mode and download mode but it's stuck on the at&t logo. Can anyone help me? Thanks
From now on I'll leave lollipop alone

I wound up returning mine to the seller....they accepted my explanation and agreed to RMA it. I wont touch this next one, I learned my lesson. Samsung loves to lock the boot loader, I'm lucky it didn't happen to my old note 4 when kingroot unlocked it. It's a shame we cant find or make a good flashable image for odin. Then it would be safe to play. But I know nothing about android except how to use it.

After you fix it. Root with Kingroot only and you will be fine. Then search for triangle away online, you can get it free. Open that up and click to reset counter. That will remove the custom lock that you are seeing. Every time you reboot, you will lose root, just reroot with Kingroot and you will be fine.

Glad to help out. It is safe to root it with Kingroot but after you reboot, root will be lost. Just reroot with Kingroot and you will be rooted again without a problem. Ive been working on a way to maintain root but no luck yet. Just don't replace Kingroot with SuperSU or you will brick it again but at least it can be fixed again if you do brick.

Samsung Galaxy on5 (sm-550T1) soft bricked by FRP after using TWRP

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.

how did you fix this?

Stock Odin Firmware for Tmobile USA

Note: you can flash this into a Metropcs G550T1 they are both same devices just different carriers ...

If g930pvps4apk1 is the latest Sprint firmware, can I root?

Hopefully I haven't trashed my phone. I tried doing one of the root methods and now my phone is stuck. Running the factory refresh does nothing but kick me back into the boot loader. And when I try to install any firmware I get an error "Complete(Write) operation failed" in Odin (I have tried a couple different versions) and I get an error on the phone also "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 3> Binary 2"
I am hoping that if I install the latest firmware PK1, if it ever finishes downloading, that it will un-brick my phone.
Is there anything else I can do to prepare my phone for this. Will reinstalling the latest firmware fix those write and SW REV check errors.

I finally downloaded g930pvps4apk1 and when I try to install it I am getting the same errors, Odin = Write failed, phone = sw rev check fail : system Fused 3 > binary 1

where did you get it from please give a lik i need this firmware

I'll check my history when i get to a PC tomorrow. But if you Google that firmware you will find it. It is the main place where most of the firmware comes from originally. Samdriver, or something like that. It will take about 3 hours though. I finally got it to flash from a different computer with the latest ODIN.

If I am doing this right. The files I used are here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ajoev1AT6kpmnJ1lGGcfwfq3JDwymQ
I'm assuming you have all the other required files. Samsung USB drivers installed, ADB installed...
I'll leave that link up for a few days.
These are the latest updates for my Samsung S7 from Sprint as of 2016/12/23.
I only flashed the AP, CP and CSC file, based on the following info I found in the forums.
Why I chose the CSC file.
CSC -> there's a PIT inside and will wipe your device
HOME_CSC -> the data should stay on your device
And I didn't flash the BL file based on the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...msung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930p-root-xposed-t3503599

thanks a lot,!!!

I just got an unlocked Sprint S7 for my wife to use in TMO and it came with this firmware. OP please share your finding on getting it rooted. thanks! Id like to flash custom ROM and make it run the best in TMO.

Thanks for the information. I rooted successfully with the link provided. I've done the build prop edits for data but I can't call, receive or send MMS. It won't update prl and profile and my phone number is 000-000-0###. Although I DO have LTE. Any tips? Thanks again

I believe a thread is being made there is a way to root the newest Bootloader and keep calls and text.

Is this a systemless root I can hide with Magisk? My princess would be dissapointed if I stopped taking her out to play Pokemon Go.

Well, I will just have to see if Suhide and Root Switch work. Its not like I want constant root. I just want it long enough to debloat this damn thing. I really wish Sprint hadn't forced me to buy a new phone to get their service. I should have went to T-Mo. Would have costed me the same per month anyway, and I could have kept my nexus.

oh sorry for that. I don't really use mms which is why i didnt recognize that. Though the calls and normal texts work for you right? I'm pretty positive that you just need to input correct settings for that to work somewhere in your APN settings. But I'm not 100% sure. Just play with your apn. I'm glad that they're doing a new thread about this because honestly, after that root and i guess the sim unlock too, it made my phone SUPER SLUGGISH. Let's hope for that thread to come but meanwhile im sticking to this.

i hope this can help

Yeah it was sluggish at first until I flashed the v15 fix. Voice and MMS wouldn't work no matter what, but data stuck. I used the same apn as stock, build prop edits etc.. it was nice finally rooting my s7 considering it was on pk1 when I bought it. No worries I'll wait until nougat unless a fix comes up. This is my first non-nexus phone in 3 years so everything is still new to me.
Edit: that was without the idoneapps sim unlock. I just flashed the engineer boot and ran the root file. might be why I couldn't get voice or data lol

I couldn't find an earlier version of Package Disabler Pro. The newer version don't allow you to disable the 3 packages alright it seems I can't downgrade to PE1 , I'm going to subscribe to this thread just in case something new comes up.

look.

no if you go down you can find method 1 and 2 on that forum

I tried method 2

I have to pass on trying this root method. Paying a shady company for a shady app falls out of my comfort zone.
