Hi guys! I got Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock while doing idk what, probably i've unticked smth in developers options. I wasn't prepared for this so I haven't made any backup via TWRP. After reading there and there found that flashing in Odin AP, BL, CP and Home_CSC woun't delete my data, right? But I have a custom rom installed on my phone, so, after flashing those files, will my S7 return to stock form even if I flash Home_CSC? Is there any way to not lose data (factory reset) + keeping the custom rom, and get rid of FRP Lock?

If you don't even know that turning off oem unlock will result in custom binary block error, how did you even flashed a custom rom at first place ?
Like seriously man, this is a very basic and first step to enable oem unlock before doing anything to your phone and you disabled it ? And you say you unticked 'something' ? If you don't even know what those options meant why you messed them in first place ..
And no, don't even try flashing with HOME csc on a custom rom ! , I don't think they is any back up option for you to save your data now ..
That is why we say to people here on xda : "ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING"

But there are too many ) and can't keep up with all details even if I note them. I flash things monthly.
Btw where is OEM unlock in Pie?
Thing is, i've read some bullsh*t about securing the twrp, and got me in a point of unticking Developer options, then all went wrong.

You never supposed to untick 'enable oem unlock' , if you do you invite the trouble.
What you wanted or was doing exactly that prompted you to do this ? What's 'securing' twrp exactly ?
OEM unlock is always in developer options in the settings..
And pls keep upto date with the details and flashing stuff if you don't want to get yourself in trouble.. search is your best friend mate.. Good luck

I was thinking to get my recovery (and download mode) secured with a pin or pattern, in case of my phone gets stolen or I loose it. Is it even possible?

Recovery - maybe. Download mode - highly unlikely.
Lol I never even heard about such things being available ..
I think twrp has a password protect feature maybe.. but dunno if any such thing is for download mode ..

I'm thinking if download mode can't be secured with a pin or pattern, then securing recovery with a code is useless.

Nope no way as adb method to unlock bootloader doesn't works on samsung, and if it did it would still wipe all your data so not worth the hassle..

So I was setting up my device yesterday and enabled fingerprint unlocking and choose a pattern unlock and written password as backup options.
When I restarted my phone, in order to unlock the phone it stated to use pattern unlock to protect fingerprint scanning after reboots (something of that nature).
Problem is for some reason I cannot figure out the pattern to unlock (I'm sure im using the one i set in place) and I cannot use my written password to unlock either, it's just by pattern.
So am I locked out of my phone and don't know what to do. I'm trying to do a factory reset to see if that'll work.
But I also flashed twrp and noticed that this model cannot be rooted so i left the custom recovery as it is. I do not want to swipe right to "allow modifications" as I heard if I do not install the right files it might be stuck in a continuous loop. So I clicked on Keep Read Only. When I try to wipe it keeps on telling me it's failed is it due to being in read only (I also don't see any of the contents on my internal storage)?
Should I flash the stock recovery with odin but I cannot find it for this model. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi everyone,
I've purchased a G935S while in Korea, and now that I'm home, it's time to start playing! Unfortunately, I'm stuck at square one - I'm not able to select OEM Unlock from the developer menu, as it's greyed out.
Any ideas?

Check SKT carrier specific features in Settings, I've heard one of them blocks OEM unlock. Maybe something related to device loss I guess..
Still no luck.. I tried to follow the tutorial - crom won't run (and the tutorial is actually for the Hong Kong model - not the Korean).
So frustrating!

Try out King Nougat-Rom, its very good for me working (without unlock OEM!)

I have a 935S was also on SKT, but was factory unlocked. Sounds like it may be carrier locked, but you could always try to flash TWRP and see what happens. But don't necessarily listen to me, I don't remember if trying to flash TWRP on a locked device just fails or wrecks ****, it's been a while since I used a locked device

I have also 935s device but OTA update without turn on OEM unlock feature is the cause to this problem.I bought my phone from another one but he had already updated his phone to oreo without turn on OEM unlock in developer option.After updating OEM Unlock toggle grayed out.This cannot be fixed with simply flash twrp.It only displays "custom recovery is blocked by frp".It's automatically turn on frp lock when you restart your phone after flashing twrp or rom because of still our phone's bootloder is locked.
I don't know how to fix this.I am so frustrating with this matter.If anyone found a way to turn on oem unlock in developer option it is possible to unlock bootloder.

FRP and a locked bootloader are two different things. To get rid of FRP just remove your Google account from the phone.

Have your tried oem unlock in fastboot mode? If that's no go then your only other recourse would be to contact either SKT or Samsung to get the bootloader unlock code

Yes, I have tried fastboot adb command to unlock bootloder but it fails because it cannot be done without turn on OEM Unlock in developer option.
I don't think samsung or skt could help with this case.I think they locked our bootloder with OTA Update.They won't help us except only we found a way to unlock our bootloders.

With a locked bootloader either Samsung or SKT would be able to give you the bootloader unlock code. That's how it works when you get a phone with a locked bootloader. Unless they do like Hauwai and ban it completely, which they have not.

Forgot to activate OEM-Unlock for Root. Phone Bricked: "Custom binary blocked by FRP"
Hello,
today i rooted my J5 (SM-J500FN) via Odin and CF-Auto-Root.
Everyting went well but after the root i unticked OEM-Lock (please dont ask me why i did it) and restarted my phone and this nice screen greeted me: "Custom binary blocked by FRP. SECURE FAIL: KERNEL"
So I tried everything I found on the Web and found nothing really helpful. Then i tried flashing the recovery and reflashing CF-Auto-Root but both got blocked in the Download Mode with the message "FRP Block".
Please can someone help me, i really hope i dont have to reset my phone because my google authenticator is stored on it, and it would be a real pain to write to the support of every account i connected to reset my Security Options.
Thanks, Toby
P.S: when i flash the boot.img does it wipe my device?

Try using Smart Switch from Samsung to backup you stuff and accounts. Maybe it will work. Using Smart Switch you can also easily reflash the latest Marshmallow firmware.

Happy for you ^^
When activating the oem unlock you can install Twrp, kernel or custom rom without the activation of FRP security that is activated when you establish a security pattern in the device
When the binary is blocked by the FRP you must install the factory firmware, then enter the recovery and do a factory reset since the FRP prevents external access to the system and data as prevention
You will be prompted for the email and password of the previously used account

You only need to enter your login details if you factory reset.
Flashing the stock firmware is enough to remove frp. No need to factory reset.

Yes im rooted my phone, but maybe by me turn off OEM Unlock. So when i restart then i get this lock.

At least how do I solve this case.
Thanks for read.
Yes, it's because you turn off oem unlock.
Remember not to turn it off when your phone running anything not official (custom recovery, root, custom kernel, custom rom etc.)
The only way to solve this is to go to download mode and flash full stock official rom and start from scratch.

just saw ur message lol.. if u dont mind me asking, whered u get it from lol..
either way, you have an S8 with eng mode enabled. Typically on newer phones there are eng certs or "tokens" that can be flashed to the device enabling eng mode and allowing custom firmware.. the certs are pretty much impossible to find unless ur in good with samsung or pay a good amount of money for..
to my knowledge, they are device specific also. meaning no way to pull the cert/token to use on other devices..
i could be wrong but based on @partcyborg coming across a similar eng mode that is what i have learned lol

It's cert based? Damn. Thought maybe it was another bootloader partition that isn't in the BL Odin tar. I didn't think the cert carried anything other than the IMEI. But I guess that's a foolproof way to do it, since it's coded according to the CPID. And no, they can't be read from the device. Guess we're stuck...

It's cert based? Damn. Thought maybe it was another bootloader partition that isn't in the BL Odin tar. I didn't think the cert carried anything other than the IMEI. But I guess that's a foolproof way to do it, since it's coded according to the CPID. And no, they can't be read from the device. Guess we're stuck...

Hello guys,
I own a SM-N960F ENG MODE: DEV DEVICE which is in "custom binary blocked by frp lock". I have tried to flash all sorts of firmware including the latest stock version CSDE to no avail. ODIN passes it successfully but when it tries to reboot it goes again into "custom binary blocked by frp lock"
Hope you might shed some light...

It sounds like the binary being referred to is a partition that is not touched by a standard firmware flash. Have you tried flashing the Combination/Factory firmware?
Ive seen guys mention the error but I've never seen it so I'm not sure. Sounds like it's frp locked so i would search on a way to bypass frp on your device. They've changed a bit and i haven't read up on the newer devices really yet I'm not ready to upgrade

iBowToAndroid, thank you for replying. I tried this specific combination through AP section of ODIN:COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960FXXU2ARK4.rar. ODIN flashed successfully but phone is in continuous boot loop stating "Boot Image Signature Check Fail!!!. Reboot to avoid warranty bit set!!!" Combination ARK4 is based on Oreo 8.1 meanwhile device had stock Pie 9.
What do you mean exactly when you say Combination/Factory Firmware if you don't mind...

5th digit back is your bootloader number you are flashing a older boot loader than what's on your device

No, it's not actually FRP locked. It just means that the FRP security is enabled. If he did a factory reset from the Recovery menu, then yes, it would actually be "locked". But he has specifically stated that his device is bootlooping - so how would he do a bypass anyways...?

Huh? Dude, that makes no sense. First of all, he stated that it flashed successfully. And regardless, the newest bootloader for his model is 2. So it's impossible for his device to have anything newer.

That is exactly what I meant - a Combination firmware. It sounds like whatever changes were made to put it into "Eng mode" prevent it from accepting a stock retail device flash - or at least prevent it from booting on that firmware. Sounds like you might need to look into obtaining a different device
Hello, I just came across a S8 International G950FD phone with this option on Download screen. Not sure if it is worth anything to anyone before I use it. I wonder what this mode means on a Exynos Samsung, because these already allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Anyone know? I could see the G950U utilizing this because the bootloader is locked on the US phones, but unsure what this would benefit on a International model G950FD. Maybe it just means that this S8 does not have RMM or KG State to be prenormal? Like ever maybe, even if I factory reset.
I know this is a bit late, but I have a US note 20 ultra that also says this on the download screen. I recieved the phone about 3 months before the note 20 actually came out.
