I turned off some settings that quite frankly, I apparently didn't know the importance of and now my phone is stuck in a "custom binary blocked by frp lock" I did a ton of googling and apparently my best bet is to flash a stock rom so I was wondering if anyone had one? Like a google drive link or something, I have odin, basically understand what I have to do but I need the file.
If it helps or anything;
UK G903F
It's either unlocked or locked to vodafone, I honestly don't know I just use a vodafone chip it in.
Please help, I quite liked having basic access to my own phone.
If you Google 'Sammobile' you will find stock roms there that you can download to your computer, use Odin to flash it to your phone.

Hi there, I hope I am doing this correctly, if not, please tell me how to do it correctly and I will fix it.
I got an S5 on kijiji, I know it was legit. The guy got it from Wind. He flashed the **** out of it and now the fingerprint and other stuff doesn't work. I want to put it back to absolute Wind stock just for peace of mind and to use all features.
When I checked the model number in the settings it said it was SM-G900F, which makes no sense seeing as he got it from Wind. I downloaded the stock G900F ROM but when I was about to use Odin, the phone said in Download mode that it was G900W8. *panicking intensifies*
I e-mailed him and he said he FLASHED THE KERNAL to SM-G900F from SM-G900W8 because there is more development for the european F model.
The whole problem with this is that I want to go back to absolute stock and get the OTA updates. I am fairly squeamish when it comes to this sort of things. How do I flash the kernal back to G900W8. Or should I not even bother? What are my options? Please help. I am squeamish but I'm not stupid. I can follow instructions. I am downloading the stock G900W8 ROM now so that I'll have both and be ready.
48 views and no replies? Really? Please help I need to know what to flash so that I don't brick it.

The problem is the APN and you can not modify it. Contact your carrier and see if they can assist.

ehrn i purchased the phone it was perfect. connecting internet was showing 4g.. but when i installed this original Verizon rom it became difficult.. now i am unable to root and install custom recovery... please guide me to root and install custom recovery TWRP and i want to install custim rom.. please help
@dipankar.c2bs
You might look into getting your CSC "sales_code" changed. I'm not sure if that is entirely the problem, but it is likely related. Even the USA Verizon ROMs come preloaded with databases that are used to provide custom parameters for a variety of carriers and locations world-wide. (See the file /system/csc/imsprofile.xml for example) I suspect the way this information is actually used is through the "sales_code" CSC value, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
I'm guessing you want "INS" or "INU" instead of VZW
What you currently have:
Code:
getprop | grep -i csc
If your handset is supported by Airtel, one of their technicians will probably know how to do the CSC change, possibly without even rooting the phone.
If it not supported, they probably will be under orders of their employer not to help you at all. But, is is easier for them to give you advice face-to-face, rather than over the telephone (subject to monitoring), if that is possible.
A question to ask - a form of social engineering - is this: "do you know of someone in the area that can help me for a small fee?"
[EDIT]
There is one other possibility for a non-rooted phone. I really don't know if this would work (I am speculating here), but the basic idea is to apply a CSC for a closely related device Model (a SM-N90???? Qualcomm model, hopefully for CDMA/LTE) that is for your country and carrier on top of your existing ROM using Odin. Get the CSC file from Sammobile, and:
- wipe the entire phone using the stock recovery. (You can remove the external SD card first if you like)
- boot the phone, shut down, boot into stock recovery.
- wipe the entire phone again in the stock recovery
- boot into Odin and flash the CSC in the CSC slot.
- boot the phone; do a minimal configuration and see if you have the service you want.
Note that @donc113 s advice given above is the right place to start: ask your service (Airtel) to help you before you try anything yourself.
good luck.
when i purchase it was good... there was 4g indicator also.. no verizon boot screen.. but now it dont works..

One of your friends who installed the stock ROM apparently didn't understand the consequences of what he did. Stock ROMs set the APN for Verizon. Did this friend happen to make a backup before he did the ROM switch?

Hello to all, apologies for my first thread being of the begging variety! In my defense I can promise that I have spent way tooo many hours spent searching for the answer I seek.
In brief due to my wife having a tropical moment and upon forgetting the screen lock password, followed by formatting/wiping plus the icing on the cake being she forgot the required synced Google account details..
I have succeeded in removing the frp lock but I think I've ballsed up along the way.
My problem is that I don't have a Scooby-Doo as to which (full/4 file) firmware I need. Every search leads me to multiple different regions, none of which are UK/GB (I am in UK using UK "three" network. Phone model number is,
SM-G531H/DS (grand prime duos)
Could anyone please help me out and tell me what firmware is needed.. Using odin 3.09 and Samsung Z3X tool Pro. All drivers installed. Phone won't go into safe mode, can access download mode and the dos type menu too.
Very much appreciate any help.

Hello Guys!,
Boy oh boy well to make this short and sweet and to the point. I am basically a newbie when it comes to flashing and loading custom ROM's on phones, but been in the IT world for some 22 yrs, and know my way around computer systems, and networks, but with so many different people's posts, tricks, and fake procedures, I just need to know from a Senior member if at this point with the firmware I currently have, or reverting somehow to an earlier version to successfully remove the FRP from one of my Samsung collection? Just cutting to the chase, Your site as awesome and I have learned alot and been successful at fixing up my old Samsung S3 to a custom ROM by Team OctOS with the kind help of madbat99. An S3 running 7.1.2 and rooted with that custom ROM, Wow! what a difference. I think I have an S6 or 7 in my hands!..lol.
But Anyone with some valid information on this tried and true fix so I can work on getting this S7 by that FRP lock and rooted and loaded with something custom I surely would appreciate it, Thanks a million in advance! And i will attach some screenshots so you know what I'm dealing with.
Have a Great Memorial Weekend!!
ps, sorry screenshots i cannot attach i don't have them uploaded anywhere, but here is basically what I have:
Sprint S7 - SM-G930P
7.0/NRD90M/G930PVPS5BRA1
AP SWREV: B5 (2.1.1.1.1) K1 S4
Same here!!

So I've the same phone, firmware, and issue as yours my friend. I can't give a solution unfortunately, as I've been attempting to side step FRP on my girlfriends G930P with the BRA1 firmware as well. From what Ive read downgrading is our best bet, but I've no idea how to do so with this particular firmware. Most of my attempts have ended with bootloops or bricks.
Best of luck to ya, I'll be subbing your thread.

I first want to say this was not done for illegal purposes whatsoever nor do I agree with that crap. With that being said my mother forgot her password and username and didn't realize the importance paying attention to her back up password or username to recover her first one. Anyway the model is SM-G930P what the bootloader level 6 from the update that just recently occurred. BRD2 I believe. Anyway, I have to go to work soon but I just was able to bypass it and get her back into her phone very quickly and easily and I didn't know of anyone had post it on here yet so I wanted to do it quickly I can give him better tutorial after work.
How to do it:
Put your S7 in download mode with power home button and volume down. Google Flash Galaxy S7 SM-G930P s boot file. It will send you to a sm-g930f file don't worry it still works and is the one I used. So download that file its S7 g930f_king$ that's what shows up on my computer after I download it. Anyway open up Odin 3.12 Princecosmy and Flash that as boot file or image file under your bootloader or BL section of Odin and let it do anything quickly and it will pass and reboot. And when it boots back up to your surprise I'm sure because it was mine also it was able to connect and find ADB so I was able to run my GSM flasher FRP reactivation lock remover Pro and as long as you're Samsung drivers are installed it will pick it up on its port number. Click on the bypass FRP tab which is the one on the right of the two go down and click bypass FRP and boom you're done. So in conclusion get to export file from Kingsfirmware.com and search flash galaxy s7 sm-g930p and it will take you to sm-g930f flash. Download the sboot file s7 g930f_king$. Flash it via Odin under BL tab. Let it pass and reboot the run GSM Flasher YEP Reactivation Lock Remover Pro and under the Bypass FRP tab click Bypass FRP towards bottom and kick back!! Boom done.

This will also root your phone
it's my pleasure to help you, i can fix this problem if you still have it
I tried flashing Magisk onto my phone, everything was going well then suddenly it went into a boot loop and I assume Knox was tripped. I can get it into download mode but I can't find the firmware and I'm quite lost. Someone, please help!
I am also looking for my firmware. I must say it's a huge pain in the rear to find something that you can download for free.
From what I found it seems the fastest option is from samfw dot com
There, you have to find out your version, your region and carrier as well.
Good luck, you're not alone, although as you wrote it 4 days ago I assume and hope you already found something
edit: found better site
