[Q] Reatail mode - Please help!

Hi! I have got a Samsung galaxy s5, locked in retail mode. And at first I didn't mind, But then I've rerealised that I can barely use the phone and this annoying video pops up as soon as I lock the phone. So I started to try to fix it. I've used this "philz" thing (I later realised that it would only take me to another recovery boot screen. Any way to remove it?) , and I've used the admin code in the Samsung retail app to deactivate the factory reset. And then I tried flashing with Odin. It was the first time I ever did that, so I didn't really know what to do. I got my phone into download mode, and that blue box in Odin, well, turned blue. And then I dodownloadeddownloaded the firmware from sammobile.com. I downloaded it for SM-G900F. I understood that that's probably the version I should use, because I live in Europe. Btw, the phone is made in Korea, and has probably never been used in a cellular net before, if that can affect which firmware I should download? Anyway, I picked the MD5 file and then Odin were freezing in a couple of minutes. But later it worked, for a bit. It says "setup connection" and then it says "Write operation failed" and then "All threads done. ( 1 failed / 0 succeeded ). This is how far as I can go. What should I do? I must do something wrong, but I really want to figure this out! Thanks!

Are you sure the phone is a G900F, since you say it's from Korea, it may be a K, L, or S model, in which case the F firmware is probably the wrong one.

Did I brick my phone following instructions on apps to freeze?

I'm freaking a little here, so pardon me. Battery life on my phone (even with new batter(ies) got terrible (less than 16 hrs) so I looked through a post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483927 for apps I could freeze , froze them and rebooted. Now my phone gets to the big white V over the word VERIZON on a red field and just freezes there. When the phone started before, when the Samsung "Galaxy Note 3" logo came up, it said something afterwords - I don't remember the wording, but it started right after I rooted. It had something to do with the rooting. Anyway, apparently something I froze had to do with the proper operation of the rooting. So now I think I need to start the phone in some kind of "safe mode" and undo what I'd frozen. I just have no idea at all how to do that. I managed to get it into safe mode once, but it only stayed there a few minutes and then went right back to the endless V. I haven't been able to get it back into safe mode. It doesn't respond to the keys after I power it up - although I CAN get it into recovery mode. When it was in safe mode though, it showed no menus or icons and being that it didn't respond to the keys, I couldn't access any apps. I'd even be more than happy to just flash back to defaults (unrooted) but I have no idea how to do that either. I've got no phone right now - and I have another 2 years to pay on a piece of crap I can't even use.
This is a rooted Note 3. I don't remember what method I used to root it - I didn't know they were so different, but I know towelroot was installed. Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Is it 900v?
Don't listen to the safe to remove threads. Happened to me too old note 1 days when I was on tw.
Go to sammobile dot com
Search for firmware for your model or carrier. Flash with odin. Search yt fir how to use odin or XDA it. You simply start with flash.
I think Verizon has the ? bootloader. You may find it hard to reroot. And you should for the sake of root flash the oldest firmware from sammobile. Just to be sure you can reroot if there is a method.

So I downloaded the oldest firmware Sammobile had for my Note (4.3). I downloaded Odin. The suggested version for 4.3 was Odin 3.9, so that's what I tried. I downloaded and installed the latest Samsung USB drivers. Then I started Odin and followed This guide: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-using-odin/ . I did it 3 times. Each time it failed. The info in the message box was:

So, as a last resort I decided to give the ROM for 5.0 a shot with Odin. It actually worked. My phone now starts. Sort of. I mean bluetooth starts (at least according to my Galaxy tablet and Galaxy Gear watch), but I have no desktop on the phone or way of accessing any of my apps. I have no clue. I've got a menu bar across the top, but the settings menu doesn't respond. Looks like a trip to the Verizon store is in order.

Damn. As a very very last resort, I decided to try a factory reset. Doing one and choosing during it to import my old apps and settings resulted in the same no desktop. Doing a factory reset again but choosing to "set up as a new phone" gives me a desktop. And Android 5.0. Go figure. Now I gotta download and set up all my apps again - pair it with my tablet and Gear, but at least it's working. I don't have to buy another phone. Thank Odin.

Lol.
Some times you have to backup data. But you almost have to reinstall apps from play store with such issues you had.

I'm actually not that upset. I WAS getting worse and worse battery life. All I really lost was time and a few pictures I hadn't backed up on my computer, but I had backups of all my music, ringtones and my contacts were saved, so it's not bad. Except for that god-awful light blue background color in the menus.

Note 4 (SM-N910H) stuck in samsung logo (solved)

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,

If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.

[Help] Samsung S8 (SM-G950W) bypass FRP?

Hi,
I did a search here for anything to do with (SM-G950W) and saw 10 threads about this model but I am unable to find a thread that has a solution to my problem. I have read posts about using Odin v3.12.7 and putting the phone into download mode then flash the PDA (now called AP) with a combination .MD5 file that is compatible for (SM-G950W). I tried flashing with a stock AP, one from a stock SM-G950U and several others that I have found from Google search and all I get from Odin is "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1". I made sure I had the latest version (as of writing this post) of the Samsung USB Driver with version 1.5.63.0 so does anyone know how I can bypass the FRP (factory reset protection)? I see lots of Youtube videos about using a bluetooth device and calling emergency but I will avoid this method. I should also mention that the "download" screen does show FRP lock enabled if that matters (is this KNOX?).
I am trying to help my friend fix this problem because he locked himself out of his phone so I am out of ideas and for whatever reason he does not remember the last Google account that was synced with his phone. We tried all the emails that "he" thinks it is and when we put in his cell phone # the recovery said it will send us the verification code but it fails.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks to those who replied.
EDIT:
I got Odin to flash the phone now. I had to use Canada (Rogers), version 7.0, PDA - (G950WVLU2AQK7), CSC - (G950WOYA2AQK7), date 2017-12-10 from SamMobile website. I wanted to flash the XAC version to remove Rogers branding but I kept getting the "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1" error. Anyway, the phone rebooted back to FRP (factory reset protection) screen to enter a Google account. So back to square one unless someone knows which file I need to flash in order to bypass or unlock FRP.
Thanks,

Use a tool like chimera tool you'll be able to get past that no problem. Should be able to anyway. 99% of people on these forums will automatically brand you a thief because nobody here apparently forgets their login account info and are otherwise perfect citizens

First off, thank you for being helpful. I even invited myself to the telegram group "Galaxy S8/S8+ (XDA Group)" to ask for help there too and some people was not as helpful by telling us that it would be impossible to forget the login. Seriously, I could have laughed at my friend and call him dumb but I didn't because he came to me for help. I searched and read so many forums and downloaded so many different files from legal websites to understand what to do but I couldn't get it resolved.
I will try the "chimera" tool that you suggested and if that doesn't work then we will just give up and bring the phone to a repair shop. I spoke to someone at Google today who said gmail password resets may take up to 24 hours for the phone to recognize. So we will try again with the 3 gmail accounts that we think was synced with the phone tomorrow because the passwords was just reset today however the representative said Samsung might be able to help so he transferred us to the Samsung in the U.S. (by mistake?) and the girl from Samsung transferred us to Samsung Canada. What a run around; anyway the last person said we may need to bring it to a repair shop. The person asked us for our postal code and gave us a few shops in our area.
Crossing our fingers that the "chimera" tool works otherwise we're probably looking at $50-$60 CAD for the phone repair shop to fix this issue.
Thanks again!

So I installed chimera and it doesn't list SM-G950W as an available model to reset the FRP. Do I need an update or do I need to buy something to get more supported models? Also I looked at "http://www.techoxygen.com/samsung-fr...frp-lock-free/" and downloaded the "Octoplus Samsung Tool" the download file came with a trojan virus which got removed by antivirus program. Now when I try to open the Octoplus tool it is saying that the "Card is not found". What does that mean? Sorry I never done this before so I am not familiar with these terms.

Give this a shot
If that doesn't work go to YouTube and search bypass frp lock SM-G950W. You'll get it eventually

Thanks for your help. We tried watching the videos but our Samsung S8 does not have a home button. Anyway, we decided to go to a local phone repair shop and they charged us $80 to reset the lock. We had to wait a bit because the Samsung server was down but at least we got our phone working again.
Also if anyone is wondering about the chimera tool and support for Samsung S8 this is the response I got from their support team:
Dear User,
Yes, currently it is not supported. The FRP reset is not added for the S8 models.Of course we will add it, in the near future. When? right now i can not tell you exact date, but i am sure that we can handle it soon.
Best regards,
Chimera team

Right on at least you got it going again. I just kinda assumed chimera tool supported that cause I've been using it for years on my other galaxy phones and was unlocking a whole bunch of other phones for $10 a pop.

I have same problem with my sm-g950w and don't want to pay 80$ at phone repair shop
hopefully if I wait a little, more option will become available for the frp reset
if anyone has any more options, please let me know

It's not that everyone thinks that, it's that there is no way to tell from a forum post, and rather than risk making xda complicit in a felony it's safer and fairer to just not answer any of them on the board where there is an official record. Just wait until some judge subpones all of xdas servers because they hold official records in an ongoing criminal case

Ok trying to help here, if you already flashed the phone with version 7 its means will get easy to bypass the G account, just there are a lot of videos on you tube but the easiest one is in spanish.. (freedom phone) the name of the you tuber, if not there are more in english..
Android 7 allow you to update the keyboard which is necessary in order to complete the task, it will take just 10 minutes I did one T mobile but it will work with the canadian one as long as the phone has the version 7.. btw i am downloading the rogers firmware to flash my canadian one.. thanks for the tip..

XDA never encourages this "fishy" applications for some really really desperate people that needs help.
Samsung repair centre can fix your FRP Locked phone. Just present your Proof of purchase/receipt/ warranty card and of course your phone
So you can use your phone again.
FRP security is implemented to prevent unauthorized access on your phone.
So make sure you don't forget your main google account logged in on your phone.
It is really recommended that you have "MULTIPLE WAYS" of retrieving your Google account
Make sure your G Account has
(
1. phone number
2. recovery email
3. provided security
4. Q&A
5. Google recovery page ( you need to answer personal info/identity you can remember)
)

If this helps you i have the SM-G950W (G950WVLS3BRE1) and i made it work by flashing the COMBINATION_FA70_G950USQU3ARD1 first then i flashed the firmware 4 file G950USQU3CRD4 using BL+AP+CP+HOME_CSC+USERDATA and it worked beautifully. Maybe it will help your issue.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and need some help please.
I have a Samsung S8 (G950WVLU5BRG4) with Android Version 8.0. The phone is unlocked and from Rogers in Canada but has a Google FRP.
Although I followed the step by step instructions with the combination file and so on Odin keeps showing me an error and is unable to bypass the Google account lock. The error message I am getting within log of the combination file is:
FAIL! (Auth)
Complete (Write) operation failed
All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 1)
Any idea of how to solve this problem? I am sure it got solved already by someone in the forum but I can't find the right entry.

As far as I know canadian S8 variant cannot be downgraded, i had tried everything with them with no avail,
there is a site(server bypassing the google account any model) for 22 usa dollars!! search it.. 22 dollars is nothing if your phone is an xpensive one!!

No so you need a 950 U combo equal to that of what is on your device

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge FRP Locked&SW REV. check fail Device:4, Binary:3

Hey guys, I recently tried to root my phone, went kinda wrong --> my phone got stuck in boot loop. I had to root it correctly to make it work again. Now, I wanted to buy something online but I couldn't bcs that came with the root or something? I got the notification to switch on OEM and something else with USB so, I did, without knowing to turn it off again. After a few weeks, visited another country but didn't got signal and stuff so I thought it would help if I'd put my phone off and back on. Y'all be facepalming right now, for sure. And yeah, I shouldn't have tried to root it in the first place because I had almost no knowledge about any of this so please spare me. Well, as you all know probably, I got the message that my FRP is locked so I tried to unlock it, using forums like these ones and others. They all said the same things but somehow they don't work with me. I downloaded a few Odin version because they all got stuck in SetupConnection or failed. I have downloaded the stock firmware and did everything I should (I think).
I downloaded this firmware:
"https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model/?record=9A306FC2821911E9951FFA163EE8F90B" (I can't post links yet because I'm a new user)
Like I said, I downloaded a few Odin version because I read somewhere that if your device has Android 8.0.0 or higher, your Odin had to be Odin3_v3.13 or higher. So I did, I downloaded 2 higher versions (Odin3_v3.13.1 and Odin3_v3.13.3) but also Odin3_v3.12.3. I tried my firmware on all of them but it keeps saying "FAIL", I know that's because it's not the right firmware but idk which other it could be then...
Also, does that new message I've got have impact on certain things? "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 4, BINARY: 3
I've spend hours and hours searching for a solution but there's always something in my way. And yes, I downloaded the Samsung USB driver and stuff, I tried the Samsung Switch method but the app doesn't 'support this device'. I've seen guys with the same problem getting send from one link to another to download things, I'm willing to delete all I've already downloaded before if it just works... I feel like apologizing for doing stuff I didn't know much about. Please let me know if I explained something poorly, my head is just everywhere it shouldn't be right now. Thanks in advance.
