Hello,
Here is the current situation: I own an unlocked N986U1 in ATT network
1. Installed Just TMB Home_CSC (ATH3) in order to enable wifi calling, etc. BL,AP, CP were all original U1 firmware. Never signed into Google until now.
2. Decided to install BL, AP, CP from ATH4 USC version that I downloaded from this thread. Did not install Home_CSC. Odin said, it everything went fine. I never remembered to sign out of google before installing this firmware.
3. For some reason the install complete in few minutes.
4. After reboot, for some reason, it did keeps error out stating incorrect password. I could swear that I am typing the correct password since it's the same password that I was using on my Note10+. My Google password is
5. I tried to reinstall U1 ATH3 firmware but odin does not move past "Setup connection". Or "FAIL: SHA256 is invalid"
Simple shutdown is not possible since it's asking for password before shutdown or restart. I had to press Vol+, Vol- & Power button all together to shutdown. Actually, it just restarts. Never stays shut.
I hope, I didn't toast the phone.
Any suggestions?

I think that the first thing you should try and take care of is your Google password.
Can you use a computer & try and go through the List Password Process.
I'm pretty sure that you didn't bork your phone.

Could you explain little more about the "List Password Process:?
Looks like it was simple process.
1. Shutdown, Vol+ and Power key combo to get to recovery mode.
2. Factory reset.
3. Once it reboots, you will be asked for Google Password. Enter password and you are good to go.
The Firmware is ATH4. However, it boots with all ATT bloatware though ATH4 is supposedly USC version. Service Provider ver shows ATT/ATT/XAA.
Either ways, I will have to reinstall U1 Firmware and start over again... Leaving these comments in this thread so someone else in the future can use this for reference.

Hey guys since today I can not startup my phone. The screen stays black and in red
text I got the message "custom binairy blocked by FRP lock"
Can anybody help me please.
FRP lock stands for Factory Reset Protection, it's there to stop a phone being stolen and sold on. You must have made changes (root etc) without first setting the OEM Unlock to on in Developer Options.
You now need to flash the stock rom with ODIN and, on boot, log in using the Google account that was in use when the changes were made and the lock happened. Without that Google account you won't be able to use the phone. As soon as you do that, go into the Dev Options and select OEM Unlock to stop it happening again.
Thanks for your answer, is there any url where I can download the stockrom for the G935F and any tutorial how to flash with Odin?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065
Now I donloaded Odin 3.11 and the latest firmware file.
I did also extract the firmware file, now 5 files are comming up.
I understand to put one in AP, one into CP, one into BL and one into CSC.
But where do I have to put the file starting with HOME?
List the contents of the zip/rar.
It, is done now. Phone is booting again and I had to verify with my google account.
Thanks for your fast and kindly helping.
No probs, glad you sorted it.
phone was update blocked on PB5.
It spontaniously rebooted.
Galaxy s7,
sprint splash,
Then stuck at,
lte plus screen with vibration pulse every few seconds.
ran battery out...
Later,
Powered off due to 0% battery,
plugged in to charge in off mode.
found and downloaded PB5.zip.
Downloaded Odin from gs7 thread.
Unzip PB5.zip.
5 files...
AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC
Succesfully get phone to download mode.
Plug phone into computer.
Odin has instructions to add files to each box.
But there is only 4,
AP, BL, CP, CSC.
Add 4 files, not HOME_CSC
Press start.
Pushing to phone.
Reboot.
Again stuck at LTE PLUS.
Repeat Odin, but with HOME_CSC in CSC spot,
Reboot gets past splash screens and installs apps.
requires wifi (because not activated/no cell-signal).
Then asks for but does not verify google account and stuck at google account input. Cannot get past/around. Tried reboot. Again stuck at google account.
Run odin again,
Same results.
google account info had been forgot/reset.
Google search about hard reset reveals
Google account reset requires 24hrs wait before login can pass...
Will pickup from here tomorrow...
Same Bat-Time.
Same Bat-Channel.
If you repartition in Odin it should fix this for you.
Curious?
With a fresh pushed stock rom,
Why power on thru loading apps
Then require to connect wifi and google account info?
Why other older phones (gs5/others)bypass that to home screen without connection?
the gs7 is not activated,
I activated old gs5 to sprint account while 'fixing' the gs7.
If I activate the re-rommed gs7 to sprint will recognize lte-data at boot and not go straight to require wifi connection and google account info?

I did not repartion in Odin,
That will allow bypass of required wifi connection and required google account signin?
I read on a google search that because the google account password was forgoten/recovered/reset,
Must wait 24hrs for device to login to google with new password.
UPDATE...
waited 24hrs,
Rebooted phone,
sign in to google account with new/reset info,
ALL IS GOOD...
Sprint.com,
re-activated phone to account.
Declined 'system software update'
Re-installed Package Disabler Pro'
Blocked system updated.
##DATA#
Edit
APNs
,dun
Save
YEAH!!!!
Now wife will have the tedium of re-installing individual apps and settings.
Always remember...
Never forget...
Account logins and passwords...
Cuz sometimes,
Recovering 'em creates a pain in the *$$.
So im trying to install twrp recovery but when i try to flash it thru odin, i get a Custom Binary (RECOVERY) blocked by FRP lock. I cant factory reset because it also disabled by FRP. I cant verify the tablet because i dont know the account information as the tablet was bought through craigslist. I have tried flashing a stock firmware version and that installed fine, but i still couldnt get past the verify screen. So thats when i decided to try and flash twrp but came into the binary error. I have been trying for the past two days to find a way around the verify identity and the frp lock. I cant enable oem unlock. I have tried rootjunky method but OTG flash wont pull up the file manager when plugged into the tablet. I cant use adb because i cant enable the developer settings because you guessed it i cant get past verify identity screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you need to find the Combination Firmware.

I already tried that method but didn't work. It's on android 7.0. I tried downgrading to sm-t580.. XAR firmware 6.1 and it worked but when it boots it goes straight to a black screen asking for a password. I tried the frp call method as well but it doesnt have wifi calling.

It only works with certain versions of 6. The one ending is PL4 is the one you want. The trick is in adding the fake wifi network instead of connecting to your home network. Pay close attention to the beginning of the video.

Okay thank you. I will try that again when I get home. And this works on version 7.0? The device is currently on 7.0 but when I tried the pl4 md5 it flashes it but when I boot up the device it just goes to a black screen and asks for a password. It doesn't start at the setup wizard

You have to use Odin to install PL4. You can't flash it via TWRP. Also, make sure you wipe everything first.

I know. I can't install twrp like I said. I've been using Odin to flash everything. But when I flashed the pl4 file and tablet goes to reboot. It doesn't load the setup wizard. Doesn't show the welcome screen and pick a language. It goes straight to a black screen and asks for a password. Doesn't ask for an email or anything.

Yea but when I try to factory wipe it says mdm doesn't allow factory reset and reboots and takes me back to that same black screen. I can only wipe cache partition. I will post a picture of the screen when I get home.

I found this site. It is apparently an "MDM lock" and not FRP.

Tried this as well. I did it about 20 times before giving up. I might try it again and do it about 30 to 50 times. If I was just able to get to settings I'd be straight but I can't get to the settings so that's why I'm trying to reset it as a completely new device. Do you know if I could flash the 7 inch tab A firmware onto the smt580? Or flash the smt585 firmware onto the t580 and flash the BL AP and CSC?

From what I've read, Airwatch MDM lock can't be removed by flashing ANYTHING. It is third party anti-theft protection that has nothing to do with what ROM is installed. I know I ran into their stuff a few years ago with a used laptop I bought and only Airwatch was able to solve the problem after contacting their customer and verifying the laptop wasn't stolen.

I did end up finding this. Seems the device is completely locked with no way to get around. When i flashed the device i may have deleted the admin privilages so there is no way of gettting around it as of now. I might end up paying someone to fix it or get around it or i wasted 180$ on a locked device. The guy i bought it from either blocked my number or deactivated his number as i cant get in contact with him. Pretty pissed. Thanks for all the help tho
I had the black screen password happen to me when I downgraded my SM-P580 from Android 7 to 6. Try clearing the cache. If that doesn't work, try reflashing, then turn it off and reboot to recovery and clear the cache.

Do you think if i changed the CSC to a different region on the tablet, and put a unlocked bootloader on it, would it might get rid of the frp lock? Do you happen to have a smt580? If so do you think there is anyother way of getting around this? say if i flashed like your firmware on to my tablet? Im desperate to get this thing unlocked as i would be out 180$ :crying:. Thanks for all your help so far. I really appreciate it man. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.
Or what if i downgrade it to 6.1 and then downgrade it again to a even farther back version? Do you think this might work and gett me around the black screen? If so then i would be able to bypass the google verify account. Ima go ahead and try it unless its a risk of bricking the tablet completely.
I also read somewhere that if i flash the cp part on odin that it will erase all data. Think that might be worth a shot? But what do i need to insert in the cp slott? I know BL goes to BL and AP to AP and CSC home goes in CSC. So what goes in the cp slot?
EDIT: So instead of putting csc home in the csc slot i put the other csc file in its place. I checked the re partition box. When i did this i got a new message on the tablet in the top left of tthe download mode that says FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download. Any idea what this means?
Hey All
Was looking for some help. I have a Galaxy sm-t550 with a passcode lock. I am unable to do a hard reset (holding down power + volume up + home button) because this device has been locked to an MDM, so that option is out.
I have successfully flashed the stock firmware using Odin downloaded from SamMobile. The issue is that is hasn't erased the user data and I'm back where I started. The only file contained in the download was the AP file (No BL or CSC). Is there a way to flash with Odin using this file to completely erase the old user data? Maybe it's simple but couldn't find this exact situation on the forum.
Thanks!

It's through my company that uses an MDM. User forgot passcode and it's not connect to WiFi so can't sync remotely.

Install the combination firmware then factory reset from settings. Hopefully it should wipe mdm.
Enable OEM unlock also in developer settings if it's available.

I'm in the same boat. Son bought a tablet on Offerup. Dude quickly removed his seller profile. Son didn't even test to see if the device was locked as the buyer quote on quote told him "That the device was just dead and needed a charge." Device can't be factory reset due to MDM lock.
No idea what the password may be.
Unable to reach encryption settings to force the device to wipe itself due to a password..
Feels like he just bought a really expensive paperweight. Mind helping? I'll post any other information that is needed.

Hello Everyone,
First of all I am a newbie when it comes to Android, so forgive me for asking such a noob question.
So here is the story, my girlfriend's dad passed away few months ago. He used an old Samsung S8, sadly we do not know what the login pattern is or his Google account password (We did try recovery options but to no avail)
As there was no other option, I went ahead and had the phone factory reset, and from what I learned the phone is now FRP locked.
After a reading a few more guides I downloaded a tool called Odin and some 'Stock ROM' and flashed it hoping that would resolve the issue (Oh boy, how wrong I was) and the phone is now stuck on a screen saying "Error occurred while updating the device software, use the emergency recovery function"
My girlfriend just wanted to be able to use it for some time, and now I feel really bad for screwing it up.
Just wondering what my options are and if the phone is salvageable at all?
Hey, are you sure you downloaded the right ROM for this S8? Since there are two models of this phone, each with a different chipset (Exynos / Qualcomm Snapdragon). I feel like this error could come from a bad firmware? Does Odin still see the phone when you connect it to the PC?
Edit: Apparently people solved this problem using Samsung's Smart Switch on PC.
Yes, I think I downloaded the correct one. The phone is from Telstra Australia and so downloaded the ROM from Samfrew that was listed as Telstra, I typed in the model number which is SM-G950F it is this firmware that came up.
Yes when I put the phone into Recovery mode and connect to PC, Odin detects it, but the flash gets stuck halfway. I've loaded the BL, AP, CP and CSC that came within the ZIP file from Samfrew and under options only ticked 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time'
Also tried just with the BL and AP but same deal.

I've never had to deal with a Samsung that has a FRP lock, that could just be the reason why the flashing fails, i wouldn't know. I hope you can get the Factory Reset to work :/
Also tried the Smart Switch app but it would recognize the phone. Thank you for looking into this.
You could send a message to this user "makeyourself" : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/i-think-i-screwed-the-pooch-on-this-one.3939572/post-79729654 , he seems aware about the FRP locks / flashing issues.
Good luck with your S8.
@Derbi75 thanks heaps, will message makeyourself now.

From what I know, the error only appears if the phone was interrupted during flashing. Such as, Odin was writing into phone but you probably removed the USB or stuff. The screen you see is actually download mode. It is just renamed. Try plugging in your device when it's on the error screen then re-flash it.
