so i got my hands on a s6 edge plus live demo unit. so i decided to root it but that failed, then i installed a custom rom and it worked. so i tried to install xposed so i booted my phone into recovery mode but i had an error message that said about the frp lock, but now when i boot my phone it keeps booting to recovery mods and i can't boot it normally. so i searched the internet and found nothing, so i tried myself but i got my phone in an akward situation now... when i boot it up i immedtiatly get a screen saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". i tried that but it said my device wasn't compatible and even with Kies and Kies 3 i had the same message. and when flash anything with odin even the stock files it says it failed and my phone says that frp lock thingy again... so can anyone help me please because i really want that phone to keep...

hello ,
i rooted my Phone and did a very stupid thing and in settings i turned of oem unlock and usb debugging off again. so now my Phone wont start cause of the message "custom binary(recovery) blocked by frp lock.
i tried something trough odin for the recovery but it failed so now the Phone wont turn off and when i try to go to recovery mode it says "an error has occurred while updating the device software .use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software"
i tried that but the Phone is not compatible with smart switch and with samsung kies 3.

Its because you didnt explored smart switch properly ..
I have been there with my phone samsung galaxy j5 ... it happened just like yours ... i rooted my phone, forgot to check oem unlock and got the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" .. then i went to odin and flashed my firmware .. and it turns out .. the firmware i flashed is not the firmware of my phone .. so i got the message "an error occured while updating blah blah please go to smart switch blah blah blah " but i fixed it so theres solution for that ... smart switch
You said smart switch cant read your device?? Its because its bricked theres no way it can be read ..
So all you have to do:
1. Open smart switch
2. Go to "more"
3. Then go to "emergency software recovery and initialization"
5. Then go to "device initialization"
6.Put your model number and then your S/N or serial number .. it is found in the back of your edge plus.. it starts with letter R..
7.. after that .. you wait .. it will download the files for your phone...
That way you wont be flashing ramdom firmwares .. your phones firmware will be flashed since smart switch used the serial number.. i hope this helps..
Hi all !
I have a Samsung A8 (model SM-A800F) which was working great. I ran Kingo Root to try to install Youtube ad free. The next time I restarted it, it didn't load, and restarted in an endless loop to where "Samsung" logo appears (then restarted again). I booted into System Recovery and chose to reset to factory, but it didn't help. Then I tried flash it using Odin in Download mode. I installed the Windows drivers, downloaded the 6.0.1 firmware for Vietnam (where it was purchased), loaded the file into the AP field, and once verified clicked Start. The progress was frozen when reaching mid-way every time I tried, until it said "an error occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"...
I downloaded Smart Switch and installed in Windows, but the drivers were not able to install correctly, and failed on the component referring to the ID or something... while Modem driver was installed correctly and the phone appeared in Device Manager. Smart Switch didn't recognize my phone and said "unsupported device".
Now I cannot get the phone stay constantly ON, and the screen shuts down and loads in an endless loop, to the "Error occured" screen... When trying to boot to the ODIN Download page, it loads, I press UP for Continue, and then it again shuts down and loads to "Error Occured".
I tried to charge over night but it didn't help. It does the same thing when the phone is connected to the charger...
However it seems that by IMEI it is sill under warranty. I'm not sure if I voided it :/
Here's what the Download mode page says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-A800F
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FAP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0
AP_SWREV: 1
Would appreciate any help, this phone is almost new but now it's dead :/

Hello, i got Frp lock text, tried going to download mode and flashing a stock firmware, when my phone goes halfway throught it restarts and goes into download mode, now it messed up my boot and stuff and it only shows that "An error has occured while updating the device software.
Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
I can't flash it, it keeps rebooting, please help, thank you.
Use kies 3 and under tools select "software upgrade" put in your serial number and model then follow the steps it should work.
Make sure you don't grab or touch the phone when connected to pc because Odin is finicky like that.
J5 prime (sm-g570f) is stucked on "an error while updating..conect smart switch.."
Hi,
i recently bought a J5 PRIME and i put a passcode to it and i can't remember it now,but i can access the google account that i used,so here's what i did,
i did a bit of searching online and played around with the recovery tool in the phone,and now im getting this error
"an error has occurred while updating the device software.use the emergency recovery function......smart witch pc software."
so i tried to install the stock firmware with smart switch but im getting a message that says,
"SM-G570F Does not support initializing please contact our service provider'
now the only thing i can do is to getting to the download mode,thats the only thing i can do
i was okay at that time because im also doing Software engineering and i know a bit about phoenes, soi tried to put the stock firmware through odin,but it doesn't work,it fails at a certain point,and then i checked my phone and i saw that ''blocked by frp''
then i did a bit of searching and i got to know about oem,and what frp is, so basically i didnt enabled oem when i had access to my phone.
what should i do,im freaking out here
hi, my s7 edge is on the emergency recovery screen after boot, already tried Smart Switch no success..
already tried install a lot of twrp versions by odin, no success either
tried to install some roms for my phone and got some error, the latest error was saying device 5 and binary 1 or 4 sometimes, i guess this is because my phone was at 8.0 and some rom i got is older right?
So, how can i find a rom with binary 5?
My model is SM-G935FD
This binary error says your bootloader has been updated. The only way to solve this is by installing the latest version of stock rom via odin.
Hello all,
I did something similar i add last update with odin but after restart i get error can't update software. I stupidly turn it off and now is in brick mode I mean nothing happent when i press all possible combination. I order JIG but unfortinaetly did work for S7 it works for my other samsungs. I probably will make my own JIG with 400Kom .
I just thinking any other hardware way to start it.
When i connect to PC i hear the sound connect but after couple seconds disconnect.
Any suggestion what else I can try
