[RECOVERY FAILED TO FLASH] please help! Please!

Hai all! Thank you for reading!
God knows how many hours I'm loosing around this stupid problem: I've a G900F @ lollipop 5.0, I poot in download mode, connect ODIN, all is ok. It uploads and phone says SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery.
Yes, yes, I've USB debug turned on, and as well the Samsung Reactivation Lock is unchecked! I also tried to check it (need to register to samsung) to then uncheck it.
Somewhere I read to "enable OEM unlock" in settings, but I can't find this setting anywhere!
I can't install ANYTHING under boot loader, everytime I've a fail.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung official
SYSTEM STATUS: official
REACTIVATION LOCK (KK): OFF
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery
I tried flash CWM, TWRP, different options, the phone simply doesn't want to accept the recovery!
What can I do? I'm really pissed off, I also tried to install TWRP from phone by rooting it, may applications around and all of them failed!
Help please, help me!! Thank you
help please, I can't understand why the phone behaves in such way!
booting in samsung recovery I tried also to wipe cache and data, then after reconfiguration tried again to flash with odin, nothing
can the problem be connected to THE missing RSA pop up where it ask to always allow this computer? I can't see that popup! Damn I'm becoming mad.. why so complicated!
may chances are that the firmware 3.4.0 inside has been modified/uploaded to avoid any update?
Go to cwm recovery mount and stored format data/media sdcard NOT extsdcard and try flash again tq.
thanks for answer, already did, the phone booted up and asked all the silly questions after first boot. Tried again after but nothing changed. I'm stuck in a big small issue..

you just install frimware latest one and activate it with ur google account. than oem unlock than flash with root via odin
Im having this issue with my phone i accidently ticked off the oem unlock in development settings I put the phone in download mode because thats the only mode i can get into (recovery and regular boot does not work) when I connect to pc now it shows up as usb serial device in ports or it shows up as samsung modem and odin wont flash the firmware
I never had any issue. You get a single recovery.IMG and flash it. The s6e+ is tricky. You should have a custom ROM or what you want to flash ready and just flash twrp, boot immediately into it. Backup phone via twrp then wipe it and flash custom ROM. This will ensure you don't get any real issues or fpr blocked. Also use XDA tuts or get help here, YouTube can go good or bad. Recovery images are device specific. If you have f and flash t it won't work. You have to really look at what you are flashing and match model information. I'm seeing a lot of people fpr blocked and in trouble. I might go make a little walkthrough

Bricked S8, have tried multiple solutions

I successfully rooted my phone but it got stuck in a bootloop when I restarted it.
I can't enter recovery mode or turn it off, all I can do is enter odin mode.
I have tried:
1. The AGQ5 fix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g-aqg5-fix-t3636857/post73032395#post73032395) it doesn't work.
2. Smart switch, it says my device is unsupported
Please help!
1- flash twrp again
2- flash stock rom with odin ( download mode )
you can reboot just with vol - + shut down B
you maybe installed the wrong version of twrp the latest one is for the new bootloader if you have the older bootloader install the last version
It doesn't boot into TWRP even after I flash it again

Sorry if I'm asking a question but how do I check my bootloader version? I just used the latest version (twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img.tar) from a site but I can't link it.

Flash full stock in odin. Then you can try twrp again if you wish.
It worked, thanks so much for all your help. Words cannot describe how grateful I am.

Samsung A3 2016 won't boot, OEM unlocked > disabled

Hi,
So I rooted this device successfully but with my dumb head I apparently disabled OEM unlock.
Now my device is not booting. It only shows the samsung logo. I can go to download mode and android recovery.
I already tried:
- Wipe data
- Install stock firmware using Odin
- Install TWRP using Odin
None of this worked. It gives errows like "Custom binary blocked by FRP"
How can I possibly turn on the OEM while Im unable to go into Android?

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.
