Need to Flash an S8 used on Straight Talk - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

A friend of mine gave me an S8 phone. Its reset and wiped clean. I was trying to set it up but it requires his old gmail account and password to get in to. The problem is, it won't take his password. He emailed google about it and he's waiting to see if they will recover his account on it. He won't be using the phone anymore as he has a new one. I'd like to use it as I have an S7 and this one has double the storage space that mine has.
If they can't recover his account, I want to flash the memory and start over. I've been a computer tech for 20 years so I know all about flashing the BIOS and how that can brick it. My question is, since I can't get into the system of the phone and see what the version of the firmware is, how confident can I rely on the back of the phone where it says SM-G950U? I've read that even though its branded that way on the back, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will show that in the system. I've downloaded the newest firmware I can find for it, SM-G950U_201910251442240_c0osvhilm6_fac from Updato and will use Odin to flash it with.
This was used on Straight Talk and has Tracfone branding on the startup.

Am I missing something. You say this is for his device. You linked s8 active stuff to a user that has a. 950u. This is not for his device. Luckily Odin don't allow flashing of wrong firmwares. You just bricked a guy's phone.

My mistake, I knew what phone he had I mean it's clearly written in the description. It looks like I posted the wrong link ACCIDENTLY. Nobody's phone was bricked. Well mistake made and valuable lesson learned. As far as the way you came at me questioning me if this is for guys device is pathetic to say the least. How you gonna ask that when it clearly says that. If this is what XDA is all about you know just read your response to my mistake, I won't be part of it. I'm about helping people and not smashing them when they make a mistake. Clearly you feel it's necessary to talk to people like that. What's that say about you?

You know I've been sitting here thinking about this. And it's TRUE 100% most of the bricks and bricking does happen on the locked us devices. Me myself even have a semi bricked one just sitting here to no avail of fixing hours and hours spent. They are a lot more finicky it seems than a unlocked bootloader ???

I'm sorry but I'm still having trouble getting this to work. I've tried the combo file and putting the extracted file in the AP section, and while that works, the phone just goes into a loop from the Factory Binary to that Settings screen and once its rebooted, it all starts again. What am I doing wrong? I've reset it to factory data several times.
Phone is an S8 64GB SM-G950U used on Straight Talk. Has Tracfone branding on screen when booted.

This is one of the latest bit 7 firmware. It is u1 unlocked carrier bloat free. This is what I use in mine. Sam mobile is slow. You can try internet download manager to speed it up a bit. But if your over seas or wanting non branded this is the way to go.

Can you get the tab into download mode? i.e. switch off completely; then power on whilst holding the volume down button.
If you can then you can use Odin and the instructions in the Overcome ROM Install Guide to flash the tab back to stock

One other thing I forgot to put in my previous post was a link to this thread about unbricking...
the one-click unbrick managed to get it back to the download screen, but i think i still need to reinstall the firmware, and i cant seem to find the i987 firmware anywhere, just the p1000. nevermind the fact i dont know how to use Odin to reinstall anyway
you just need to download odin and get a stock rom to flash and you'll get out of this problem
where can i find a stock rom? all the links ive found so far are down. do i need a pit file (actually...what is a pit file vs the tar file?)
sorry to ask so many n00b questions.
Read read read man! 6hrs b4 I even attempted a flash and still bricked it 6 times!
You are not in a bad spot yet. Just don't put something one the device if it wasn't made for it.

First step is take off battery cover, look for letter/number combinations on the plastic parts of the phone, I think mine is on the bottom right, figure out which variant you have.

Actions speak louder than words, click on my 'thanks' button if you mean it, LOL, JK, ok great, we got a WINNER!!! Now we know which variant you have. OK, looks like you have the x model, from googling it's from Indonesia or something and it's known as a live demo model like you stated. Find out what fw 9505x uses, try sammobile.com or even here, DL it and flash via odin, that would be my next step, I think, I'm still pretty new to this.
Those demo models were not even made for use.. Their firmware has limitations for what I know..

As you can see, odin stops at flashing modem... Demo units don't have modem hardware, so you need firmware without modem, or just download a pre rooted firmware, rename it by removing .md5 extension, so you'll have i9505XXXX.tar, open it with 7-zip, delete NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin and flash it... Or download a 3/4 part firmware and flash it without modem file. I've flashed lots of i9300x and i9505x like this...

hi, try flashing https://idlekernel.com/twrp/hero2qlte/3.0.0-0/twrp-3.0.0-0-hero2qltetmo.tar.md5
while it isn't for your phone (it's actually for T-Mobile S7 Edge), if it at least flashes then you are in the clear and I will happily port TWRP for G930P.
If the flash fails with SECURE CHECK FAIL, then you are out of luck. (nothing is changed and it won't trip knox)
RESULTS
if it flashes successfully, and trips knox, then you have an unlocked bootloader, and twrp will happen for you in a few days
if it does not flash, it will not trip knox, and nothing will have changed, but you have a locked bootloader
I'll test when I get back home thanks

You may one day become vulnerable to a live root exploit such like TowelRoot, but you will never be able to use a custom recovery, system image (ROM), or kernel.

Sprint told me they don't lock bootloaders. What's this all about?
I've been perusing threads in the s7 forums, members have tried and failed to flash anything onto the US variants, international versions have been rooted though.

This is probably on Samsung, not Sprint, tbh.
Either way, the Galaxy 7 customers in the U.S. are completely screwed, as far as ever getting root/recovery/any development for Galaxy 7s goes.
No chance of development means no real need for these forums on XDA, honestly.
(I mean, this is an Android Development website.)
Let the devs figure it out if they can; until that happens there's nothing to really do here. ?

Samsung Galaxy on5 (sm-550T1) soft bricked by FRP after using TWRP

Edit: here's the metropcs firmware https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwpP0WNhAe9vdXZkVUNvMXFqMWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Edit:Title is wrong, its a sm-g550t1
Hi there. I'm really in desperate need of help. I am not always a very smart man.
I recently installed TWRP using the guide for this phone, and the first thing I encountered was I couldn't install it from download mode due to FRP. So I googled that, saw it would go away if I unlinked my Google accounts, which it did. Then I made a backup immediately.
However, later I linked my Google accounts and so now, after restarting, my phone will just say Custom Binary blocked by FRP. I can no longer access recovery mode, only download mode, and I can't install anything due to the FRP lock.
I am very frustrated, have gotten little sleep, because as I said I am not always a very smart man. I rely on my phone for my work and I can't afford another one. Someone gave me the stock firmware but its in the TWRP format and I don't know how to install those files with Odin.
So please, if you have time I really need help. If i could offer any sort of financial thanks I would but I just can't right now. But I swear I'll send so much good karma your way. I've definitely learned a lot from this process, usually breaking **** is how I learn best, but I wish I did this with a throwaway.
So I've narrowed it down a bit. I need a stock recovery.img and maybe a stock system.img so I can flash them in odin. Please, if you can somehow help I really need it right now.

With that attitude your lucky any one will help at all. What is the fail in download mode there buddy. Just simply saying a fail isn't anything. Your probably flashing older firm Ware than on the device. Seems to be the common problem.
In the future i recommend you not get rude like you did.

On a further note Odin fails are 99% of the time user error cause their not paying attn or don't know what's going on. And with a attitude like that I'm going to assume both. More than likely your using older firm Ware or the wrong odin

Yeah I did read your post with detail. And I will say again to use Odin. Trying to figure out what your last post said, I assume you were able to fix it. Just glad we can all help each other out and get along. We're all here to learn
