950w/u doesn't have OEM unlock. These variants have locked bootloader's and therefore can't have TWRP installed. You would know this if you searched. It's only been discussed 1,00,000+ times

ok, why do they post a TWRP for 64bit - Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 (10nm) then? in the link i added in my post above?
and G950W is 64bit - Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 (10nm) as well.
ALso I do see OEM unlock option if I flash COMBINATION FILE, so can I do something else to root?
Thankyou

This TWRP is for Chinese versions that have an unlocked bootloader

It has been discussed a zillion times.. The only thing I can't find is, why?? Why was there a root available for 7.0, but that changed for 8.0?? It won't help achieving root on my G950w, but it just may help me sleep at night.. lol

Because the combination file has a exploitable permissive boot img. Stock does not. Also we only have a 7.0 combination file if all of you look in history the combination released is that of only equal to what the device was released with. In our case 7.0 we will never see a 8.0 combo to root with.
The oem unlock option in combo is only for bypassing frp nothing more. We have studied this quite well
There is a s8 snapdragon Chinese variant which are unlockable unlike our U and W models.
At current there is no root for any bootloader of our versions on reg s8 U or W passed revision 2. Hope this helps to clear up a bit on confusion

Also thread moved to q&a

help my s7
Hi, Eric here, I read your thread about frp lock bypass about the samsung S7 (link is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/g930f-frp-unlock-helps-99-g930f-t3791424), and then I downloaded the rar files in this google drive address: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1do9rJ7NlJhPq3esLG7_HLxxUOLKD9PIr/view
when I try to unzip the files, I found the password was not correct (in the readme.txt, the password is: http://zipansion.com/hcsV). I really wonder whether you can check it and send the right password to me if possible, my email address is [email protected]
It will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Scratch that, used the drivers from the Xiaomi Redmi 2. Now have fastboot access. Will look into creating a valid TWRP image.

Did you manage to flash recovery onto your phone? I can't flash anything on mine as the bootloader is locked.

First check whether bootlader is locked or not.

Or if you want i can mail you.

The bootloader is locked so I can't flash anything.
Have you tried
"Fastboot oem unlock"
In adb?
Just thought I'd update, I managed to flash the following firmware onto my phone:
http://download.ztedevice.com/device/global/support/product/741/5827/sd/2015071614172687.zip
Copied update.zip onto an SD card, booted into recovery by holding the + volume key and power button, then selected apply update from SD card.
What are the details of that image? Stock, custom, cwm, twrp, root, etc? I'm on the road and don't have the bandwidth to check it out.
It's the stock firmware for the Cambodian Seatel version of the ZTE Blade Q Lux. Apart from making the phone think it has dual sim card slots, everything else seems to work fine.

Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE - G935F - [FRP Lock] - How to Bypass?

Hey ppl,
I'd like to know how can I bypass the FRP lock currently present on my G935F.
I've already installed a Combination ROM (FA60_G935FXXU2ARA1) and now what should I do next? I've already tried to install stock 6.0.1 ROM's to then bypass it but I'm unable to do so... Up to now I was only able to install 7.0 or 8.0 ROM's...
So, what should I do next in order to bypass the FRP Lock?
(Before installing the combination ROM the phone was on an Android 7.0 ROM: G935FXXS2DRC3_G935FPHN2DRB5_PHN showing that google page to enter an email)
Thanks in advance

Ok i have a solution for FRP lock at Binary 2 (u2) firmware, all u need is downgrade to latest 7.0 (Binary 2), for example G935FXXS2DRDI. After phone boot up download and flash G935FXXU1BPH6 firmware. At Odin (Odin3_v3.13.1) just set AP and CSC (not Home_CSC) and start, phone should boot up with 6.0.1 firmware after that use this instruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOVbi2RyAA

Damn. I just moved to binary 3 after days of failure. Until I saw this. But do you think downgrade is possible from binary 2 to binary 1? From experience Odin will fail. Binary 2 > 1.... I'm on binary 3 right now bro, I have combo file but no OEM unlock in developer option. How to bypass frp?

Stubborn P9 Lite wont flash any firmware [help please]

So, I have a Huawei P9 Lite (VNS-L21) and I have a problem: when I boot it up I see the "Your device has failed verification..." message.
I did a hard reset (factory reset) but when I boot it up it asks me for a password and the keyboard doesn't work.
I googled around and I found a lot of posts and I tried everything, no luck.
My bigger problem is that I don't know my phone's model number and firmware version. So I cand find the proper firmware to flash.
The only thing I see is the VNS-L21 on the back. Also, I took the back of and I saw two codes (I don't know if it helps): GA20 and 160521H2
Also, (with DC Unlocker and the the phone in fastboot mode) I managed to get the IMEI and serial number. The SN is: BUC4C16519008689
Now, from many other XDA posts, I know that I have to download the update.zip archive, extract the update.app file and add it to a micro sd card in a dload folder, press vol up + vol down + power and the updte will begin.
Did that but the result was "Software install failed".
I tried to use FirmwareFinder (from Team MT) but I didn't know what firmware to use, so I used this page: https://romfirmware.com/stock-rom/huawei/huawei-p9-lite-vns-l21/
I belive (from checking my IMEI here: https://imei24.com/imei_check/Huawei/) that my custom region provider code is C432 (Europe).
So I searched on the page for a VNS-L21C432B... firmware version, but I don't know what version to choose.
I attached 4 photos so you can see what I'm talking about.
So, any ideas on what should I do next?
Thank you!
Hi, try my way. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77307223&postcount=30 Just pick CxxxBxxx that suits your model. Kinda wondering how you don't know your phone model, did you steal it lol.

Thank you for the info. I read that post and did a little bit of searching but, as I said, the issue is that I don't know my phone's Cxxx code 100% (not sure is the European version, as far as I know it might be imported). Also I don't know at all the Bxxx code.
So what do I have to do in order to get the right one?

Make sure, phone and FRP is unlocked. There are plenty of threads with unlocking and tools.
It's been some time since I tried to fix this phone because of some medical problems.

Also other thread said that I need the bootloader code but I can't get it from the phone.

Without unlocking code you can't unlock the phone
your bootloader is unlocked but the frp must be unlocked to , the problem is that to unlock frp must boot your device. The only rom that may fix your problem is this l21c432b370 FullOTA-MF-PV it is the PV, with this rom i unbrick my p9 lite
This rom is for L21C432B370 if your model is l31 you may brick it more or not work at all

My (other) problem is that I don't know for sure what exact model is because I can't access the settings. All I managed to get with DCUnlocker is this:
Code:
Found Phone : HUAWEI VNS-L21
Model : Huawei phone in fastboot mode
Firmware : NRD90M test-keys
Is this info going to help me?
If I try your l21c432b370 FullOTA-MF-PV rom can I do something that is irreversible?
Btw, you said "it is the PV". What PV means?

PV means point version and is used to move between android versions
If the readings are correct your rom is NRD90M test-keysand you have the l21 , so the NRD90M test-keys means that its problematic rom (it come up when upgrade from android 6 to 7 in huawei phones , if you look here you will see to many problems like your, some are lucky and fixed some are not so lucky) , what do you mean irreversible when you have a bricked phone? you can download this rom and try to install it with dload directory , i thing its the only way that you can try

Are there any Oreo or Nougat ROMS for binary 5 ?

Does anyone know how I can get Oreo or Nougat on my G950FXXU5DSFB ?
I haven't seen any ROMS on this bootloader but dont know the process of doing this manually or if there is a way at all.
Leads that I am looking at right now are:
This page https://combinationfirmware.com/ says "Combination file can be use in downgrade the android version".
fastboot flash bootloader SOME_U4.img. I've never seen this done with S8 though.
finding a S8 Oreo/Nougat ROM with binary 5 (this thread)
Anyone have anything more solid?
Thanks very much
