Interesting find Possible Eng bootloader firmware?

So I have not been able to obtain this firmware but figured I'd share to see what you ladies/gents could figure out.
http://www.romup.com/search?version=G950USQU1AQCF
Also there is a thread in general discussion and questions section regarding an All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 firmware.

idk, seems pretty fishy to me, every I link I see is to pay to download sites for this file. You would think that there would be somewhere online where its free. Probably a bogus download.

lots of scams out there
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I actually paid for a damn firmware this morning All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 and received the download from sams-eng.com . Later however I found it for free. Oh well. Haha.

Can you link it please! Where did you find the free one?

I found the free one for the 955 and 950 i was able to find the unlock bootloader option through it not sure if it will work. Was more interested in the boot.img

Not saying it isn't a scam, but romup is actually a fairly reputable site. People posting leaked firmware all the time straight from the factory. A few other Asian sites like this one have some juicy stuff, not just for Exynos/other unlocked loader models. So don't discourage it, translate it and see what they have to say and maybe even test it. I personally don't want to take the risk with my phone but someone kinda has to. Anyways, done with my little rant.

Would this Engboot be good for snapdragon variants? I remember the S7 Edge had a locked bootloader, but you could still atleast root it

Think maybe you'll make a root thread soon? The S8 is great, and the included earphones are actually good, and I could use Viper xD

Im working on this right now. Give me a little bit had a kid last year so im trying my best to get this done right now while i have time.

Wait so do you have a copy of that firmware? I can't obtain that one bc I have no way of paying in yuan.

Also is there a way to flash a firmware where root is natively in the firmware? I always thought we had to unlock the bootloader and root and then flash recovery. Unless it was the recovery that always tripped knox.

Hi Br3w3r,
I just wanted to say thanks and ask you a little about how you coerce these engineering firmwares to allow root mode. Do you reverse engineer it? Just curious.

Found a newer version of ODIN and enabled the grayed out buttons. Maybe it could help?
ODIN 3.12.7 with UMS and USERDATA already enabled: https://mega.nz/#F!8WxRwDwa!seZLQVSoWTrz2CJkbdxTkQ

Interesting... so if I am reading this right. Someone is trying to work on snapdragon now?

I have purchased a copy of the firmware posted by the OP, although it was bought off of a different website. This is a factory binary, that has SElinux as permissive, OEM unlock says it unlocks bootloader, etc

Good god share this please

Custom-ish ROM (Possible TWRP/ROOT) for J327T1(?)

I have compiled for you an Odin-Flashable downgrade to original Nougat ROM.
Does NOT have Google FRP in this version (the ROM came stock this way; unmodified), this is useful if you forgot your Google email.
Download Odin3 and the .tar file HERE
- Open Odin v3.12.7
- Plug in phone to PC
- Simply boot into download mode (Powered off- Hold HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN)
- Click AP
- Select J327T1.tar
- Click Start
Once it finished it will reboot and update. It is going to get stuck on 32%, do not worry.
It will take a second, but the recovery menu will pop up. Select Reboot System and it will take some time to get to the OS but you will eventually have Nougat pop up and ready to go!
Enjoy!
*UPDATE*
In the download links I have the "Factory Binary" Custom ROM. It's pretty useful in messing with the phone software, although I do not know the specific use. Use the same method above to install the ROM.

Also, I do believe you can edit the .tar and add TWRP by downloading the recovery.img from my link and replacing it in the .tar and following the same steps. I have not tested because I was helping my brother access his phone because he forgot his Google account after he reset his phone.

Well idk if it is considered to be custom. Its still the stock rom. But idk he shoulda tested twrp bc if it works then that would be awesome. But idk the bootloader is locked. If anyone has this device and willing to test please do so. I cannot test since this phone is my primary phone that i use on a daily basis.

I only have a similar device, not the same, but bootloader was already unlocked, all you really need to do is wait for an unknown command screen to stop.

Good ish' Brad, now hopefully someone will get twrp and I'll cough up the money for another cheap t1

Ok so its not truly the factory binary, its an emulator of that, meaning any changes were not flashed over as in other devices. but i have been thinking and, i'll post this in the original as well, magisk....only works if you completely wipe the device first, same with custom roms, i never tried that when i had the j3, bricks be damned we got odin3 and i got scripts to get outta brick an into download.
if someone would be ao kind as to factory reset and tr installing twrp, that wuld be amazing, i have been working with the note 4 sprint variant and there are a few steps in installng custom roms that we were over looking

Only way I can help you is by telling you go buy yourself a PC if you're going to start routing and or developing the firmware on Android devices it is extremely hard nearly impossible these days with Android devices running version Android 6.0 and up to root without a PC the best and easiest way I've found to root a Android device is to First install a custom recovery like TWR p or ClockworkMod and have a unlocked bootloader then from there you can easily download SuperSU and Flash it with a firmware flashing application like ClockworkMod ROM manager that is downloadable on Play Store what I'm trying to say is if you are using kingroot or kingoroot you're going to be hitting that button 4 million years and nothing will happen either by an Android that has a lower version like any version below 5.0 or get yourself a computer and do some research because it is very easy to do the stuff as long as you know what you're doing if you don't it seems way more complicated than it actually is you're in the right place here on XDA to learn everything you need to know so you're off to a great start I hope this helps have a good one good luck

So is there no way we can downgrade further to a firmware that includes the developer option to oem unlock?... I'm about to try and flash what the op posted right now... I'll post results

Any developers still working on this device?

As the title says I am here looking to see if any developers are still working for this device? I am a wanna be developer tbh and I've decided to start on this device since there is little to no ROMs or Kernels for this device. If you are a developer that has this device please DM me! Looking forward to see what the future holds for this amazing device.

Please develop for this device. It's still relevant in in the tablet game in 2018 and is still being sold in the market.

I just got my hands on the 8.5, verizon variant version sm-t378v, 3 days ago (they gave it to me for 99 cents with my pixel 2 xl) and I can't find any info on this one. Still fully locked up by good ole vzw. I have tried Odin but, secure download is enabled. Can't figure out how to get rid of that. All of the t377v methods, i have tried, have failed thus far (maybe I'm doing it all wrong) including kingoroot. Any ideas?

To be fair man I didn't even know that device existed lmao, but all the tutorials will be old and outdated, so what I did was download these programs like Samsung kies but update it so it has drivers for Nougat and marshmallow.

USB debugging, yes. OEM unlock, greyed out.

I gave the wrong info. There is no OEM lock option on this sm-t378v. I was thinking of my pixel 2 xl... which is also still locked thanks to verizons mid cycle security patch. But, I digress, I'm working on my Galaxy Tab E Sm-t378v (verizon). I've tried using Odin but, I ran into this "secure download mode" which seems to prohibit Odin's communication. Any help would be appreciated.

I see by your signature that you own a SM-T560NU. That means you would only make roms for this model, right?

Samsung SM-580UD Android 7.0 10" FRP

I need some help if possible with this SM-580. I saw a post that had info on bypassing the frp lock. But the post dint go into enough details, and it was copied from a post a few months back which I tried to locate and could not.
And I wasn't sure if it was the right info for my device.
Here all info on my Tablet.
It's a 10" Black 16GB Samsung SM-T580UD
Android 7.0
And it has been reset asking for google login info.
Any help is much appreciated.

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

You must not have read them carefully. The ONLY way to remove the FRP lock is to use Odin to revert to 6 with the ROM ending in PL4. You won't find a way while still running 7.
edit: BTW, once you remove the FRP lock, the tablet will update itself, OTA, back to the latest 7 from Samsung. So, don't worry about using 6 to get rid of the lock.

What difference does it make what firmware the tablet is running now? In order to remove the FRP the tablet has to be set back to the PL4 firmware and that can be done no matter what it currently has.
edit: The ability to add a fake wifi entry, highlighting it and choosing "advanced" is the key. That feature is ONLY available in a few Android 6 ROMS. The one ending in PL4 being one of them.

Then why not just post what version to flash and how to use it to remove FRP? Rather than, "what version are you running?", flash version "xyzzz" and do "such and such". Personally, I'd like that info if, and only if, it is easier than the 6 method. And doesn't cost any money. If you are selling something, then forget it.
edit; I take that back. If the OP can't figure out how to use the 6 method, and you can sell them something using 7, then more power to you.

Factory binary mode stuck help!!!

Hello I bought this Galaxy S8 SM 950U from this lady off letgo. Anways I just made sure it turned on which it did, and had no cracks, so I was trying to make it fairly quick because i had to drive to her home and walk in, and didnt want to be there long, so i get home clear the data from my new phone ans it asks for her google account. Ive never done anythung like this, but i looked up what to do and flashing the phone was an option ao i chose that one. I used oden and i guessed flashed some kind of combination binary because odin at the end of the download, it was a sucess. So i turn it on and its been stuck in Factory Binary mode. The original was andriod 7.0 G950USQS2BRB1 and now it is G950USQU5ARG4. Im so glad i wrote down the oringinal, but please help. I watched tutorials on how to flash the frp using odin and it seemed pretty simple but i guess not and im definitely stuck and have no idea what to try next could someone please help me

See that 5 in the firmware. That is the bootloader revision. Now you.have to down load a equal revision stock firmware and flash that over the binary
Btw if your area is like mine. Let go is a joke and full of junkies get receipts and addresses and signatures on all phone. I did get me a nice ps4 a few days back.

Mr. Mad Scientist don't mean to bug but I'm having the same problem right about now except my s6 was running a 7.0 G920VVRS4DQK1 And i downgraded to G920VVRU4AOJ1. So you're saying that now i have to find a ROM WITH A build number that has a 4 IN the same spot and flash that file by itself with Odin and that would put my phone back to normal how it should be....? Need help, please help

Yea your on a rev 4 bootloader. Any Rom with a 4 in that location will work

Thank you very much bud I really appreciate that I've been stuck for 2 weeks. And I'm taking a wild guess here but i load the boot into the BL SECTION OF ODIN correct? Weird thing is that last night i flashed a boot loader honestly i forgot the number of it and I'm not near my laptop but it did stop marking that SW check fail rev 4 binary 1 error and when i restart my phone it goes to factory nice still.,.... Now it's in factory mode but it reads boot completed when it gets to the home page. Last thing, i did get a "write error message" that failed my flash... I'm kinda even more lost now

Same problem as Morgenmoles!

just my $0.02, but keep in mind that if you flash firmware with a 6th gen bootloader, you cant go back to anything with the 5th gen. The G950U models arent rootable, so i just always go with the most recent version

you cal also flash the unbranded firmware on it, but by doing so, you will ditch the at&t firmware which has proven to be difficult to find. Not impossible, but difficult. I flashed the U1 firmware on my S9 (i know you have an S8, but theyre virtually identical) and its flawless
