And I'm quite confused!
I rooted my phone using Modaco Custom Rom 3.1 Core.
When I try to do anything that requires Super User, the request always hangs and doesn't do anything. I get no option for allow access etc, for ANY application.
I'm not sure what to do..because some apps out there which I would like to use, I can't, because of this problem!
Does anybody know a solution please?

Superuser Permissions program hangs (usually with a black screen or even a force close) at the “SU request” screen?
1-Select Settings > Applications > Development.
2-Make sure that USB Debugging is checked. If not, check it.
If that fixes your problem, you are done. If not:
1-Select Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
2-Find Superuser Permissions on the list. Tap it.
3-Tap “Clear data” and “Clear cache” if they’re enabled.
tested on the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1), and My HTC HERO
i tried setting usb debbuging on and also cleared the data and the cache, still the SU request screen is still blank.
any help is appreciated
OK kinda another problem...
While waiting for a reply, I found a tutorial online to fix it. It basically instructed to CHMOD using the ADB, which potentially let any application have root access when it wanted it.
I realise this is kinda dumb now...is there any way to reset this change that I have made?

thanks man, this really helped my phone, even my live wallpaper that were laggy got a lot smoother with this, thanks so much.
This is perfect timing, I ran into this same problem last night and thought it was a problem with the app I was installing and didnt make the connection to the fact that I disabled USB debugging yesterday. Thanks!
yay..this su thing started happening to me last week.Reflashed but still there..all gone now..!!!
genius.lizard2 !!!!!!!
Thanks a lot. I've been trying to get this fixed for ages. LEGEND!!!
i got a hero flashed over to cricket but having an issue with my SU Request. if im somewhere where i lose a signal for a min. i cant get my web to work again i have to go into superuser and clear everything and then reboot the phone to get the su request to come up so i can click always allow. i also cant just turn my phone off without having to go into the superuser and clearing everything first or i wont have no web or be able to sign into google. its starting to become a real pain. yes usb debugging is checked any help thanks in advance
Having a crazy day. Got the new ChevronWP7 unlock last night. Did the internet sharing interop combo. Now get error trying to reload xap files. Trying to put on accentchanger file.
Error - failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is connected..
The xap app is not supported
You have to deploy supported xap only
Ex:
Screen cupturer
Nokia maps
Battery status
Tango, but it is now in marketplace
Some other apps like Native keyboard are not working.
Good luck.

@verynuclear: Not sure what you think you're trying to say, but it's totally possible to use high-privilege apps like Advanced Config (which does custom accent colors, among other things). You just need Interop Unlock, which is easy on LG, possible (via an app) on Samsung, and difficult but not impossible on HTC (I have it on my HD7).
The problem is that after using the Interop-unlock app on his or her Samsung phone, the OP seems to be having trouble with the XAP deployment tools. @jgibo, I suggest you read and then post in the relevant threads for those apps, rather than starting a new thread.
The main reason for asking question is if the deployment tool stopped working for anyone else. After I got Chevron on there I was able to install screen capture, accent changer. Screen capture worked. So I removed accent changer and followed instructions for interop unlock install. Then saw the thread for internet sharing and interop in one. Installed that to phone. Got internet sharing Then tried a few different xap files and couldn't install any. So did that xap mess something up? Guess I will look elsewhere for answers.
This is all they have on MSDN site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be caused by several reasons, including if the device is off. If the device is already connected, sometimes disconnecting and then reconnecting the device may fix the problem. Rebooting the device may also fix this problem
You do have internet sharing OFF right? You can not deploy XAP's with ICS on. I don't mean to be rude but it really does pay to read the whole post when someone gives instructions on how to do something before saying it messed up your whatever.
voluptuary said:
As long as your device is unlocked in some way (Developer/Chevron/Other) you can get internet sharing on your Samsung phone.
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
2.) Use the Application Deployment tool to send THIS to your phone. You do not need to run it and you can delete it after it has been deployed.
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634#
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and RESTART your phone.
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
PS: You need to have a recent firmware on your phone or your diagnosis app and drivers will not be new enough to work.
EDIT: I built the file depoyer app using the tools provided by Heathcliff74 so many thanks to him! Also ADC is built in as well so no need to worry about that and I also upped the max number of connections from 3 to 5 devices.
NOTE: If you have internet sharing turned on (active hotspot) you will not be able to deploy XAP's untill it is turned off. Also, as with any xap, you need to have your screen unlocked to deploy.

Of course if you have ICS off then I'm sorry for this little rant and all I can suggest is restarting your phone and PC and trying again.
ICS is and was off. Found other posts with same message. Currently reinstalling dev tools. I do IT support for a living and hate havinng to do troubleshooting on my own stuff From past experience with computers it is either a coincidence or cause when a new problem occurs. Hence the questions asked. I do remember seeing an odd usb error in system try when I was doing step 4. Did a troubleshoot on my Focus connection but that didn't help. Also tried all usb connections. If the reinstall doesn't work will have to get my htpc out and try on it.
Reinstall didn't work. Since it stopped after running system tweaks I am trying again. Wish the instructions had a note on how long after hitting the save button before it was done. Has the Loading GPRS Profile for System Tweaks on screen. I think I may have hit the close button yesterday while is was still showing Loading. Right now I am not touching phone till I see it go away. Unless you are supposed to hit close right after hitting save.
The settings are applied almost instantly, as soon as it says loaded after you hit save then you can hit close and restart. Another user stated they had to turn ICS on then off again before he could deploy XAPs. Another question, you haven't turned on wired tethering have you? I ask because if you don't set your phone back to Zune sync you also will get the error you are getting.
EDIT: Main question, does Zune see your phone when you plug it in at all? Can you sync media? Cause if you can't you have another issue that is beyond anything my XAP could have done.
That kind of worked. Turned on ICS then back off. Got Advanced Config to install. Now get UnauthorizedAcessException. Click ok and app closes. Go from one issue to another.
Hopefully this might help someone who comes across a similarly bizarre situation. I've gone into detail to ensure anyone who tries this has all the info needed, so apologies for the biblical post but this 100% worked for me on my S6.
Ok, so here's the dilemma I was faced with which was a total nightmare. My phone (although otherwise fully functional) was slowing down a tad and becoming quite laggy so I decided to factory reset it (as I've done a hundred times before to several phones over the years). All the usual pre-requisites were carried out (back-ups taken, usb debugging on, reactivation lock cleared, etc.) I proceeded to factory reset the device, all went as expected without any issues. Once completed and at the 1st setup page, I selected language and proceeded. I set up WiFi connection and proceeded. I was then met with the next setup page, my Samsung Account. However, there was a message - "This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you." Well, I naturally proceeded to enter my Samsung ID and correct password, but that's when things got weird. After a longer than expected period to sign in, I got a brief pop-up to say "Processing failed". That was it, no other explanation, no other option, no other way around it. I was now 100% locked out of my phone which I have had (store bought from brand new) for 2yrs. I contacted Samsung support, but I think we all know that was a complete waste of time - so I began to research extensively. I came here to XDA first but couldn't find any solution, I then scoured the web and checked a tonne of YT videos. Again, nothing doing - it was all either outdated information, Samsung had patched vulnerabilities, or the methods were just time-wasting idiots posting hoax fixes which did nothing. It was worth it to a point though because I got several tips and picked up some software. Then after about 8hrs, I stumbled across another post from someone here on XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/help/reactivation-lock-bypass-samsung-account-t3625723#post73617288. Massive thanks to him/her. The basis of his/her method definitely works, but I had a few improvements, particularly concerning the dialling of emergency numbers. So, that's the background to the issue I had and how I got to here. The following is the full method of what I did and I can say that I have a 100% fully functional S6 again. I've gone into this detail as I've found that a lot of posts can be a bit vague, so hopefully this helps someone out....
1. On the 1st setup wizard page after the factory reset has completed; select your language, then connect to (WiFi preferably). You then arrive at the Samsung Account sign-in and cannot proceed any further.
2. Make sure that your phone is NOT connected to your PC at this stage and just for clarity - also make sure than your SIM card is still in your phone. (Some instructions say to remove it, don't do that if you want this to work.)
3. Leave your phone alone for the moment.
4. Ensure that 'Samsung Drivers' for your phone are installed on your PC. (If they already are - great. If not, install them so that when you eventually connect your phone to your PC later, you can see it.
5. Next, download the terminal program here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4OYgE4A8WCzckpyTDVuODc4TWs/view It's called Realterm and is only about 12MB. (There are other newer versions of this available, but this one worked for my purposes.) Extract the program and install (running it as Admin) and ensure that all 4 boxes are 'ticked' as you install (i.e. usually 'source' & 'DLPortIO' boxes are un-ticked, so put a tick in both and then complete the install. As the install completes, un-tick both boxes 'Register' and 'Show ReadMe'. Done. You should now have 'Realterm' icon on your desktop.
6. Back to your phone now. With it still stuck at the Samsung Account sign-in window (or any preceding window), connect the phone to your PC. If an 'installing drivers' pop-up appears on your PC, wait for the Samsung driver to finish installing. If on the other hand, you phone connects to your PC straight away, then proceed straight to 'Manage'. (i.e. Right-click on 'My Computer', select 'Manage' and select 'Device Manager' from the left list. Then in the main window select 'Modems', then right-click on 'Samsung Mobile USB Modem' and select 'Properties'. Hit the 'Modem' tab at the top and simply note the Port. It should be Com & a number, for example 'Com3'. Once noted, you can now close all 'Manage' windows.
7. Open 'Realterm' from your desktop icon by right-clicking and running as admin. (a) On the 'Display' tab, ensure the 'Half Duplex' box has a tick inside it. Don't mess with any other settings here. (b) Then hit on the 'Port' and ensure that the port number you noted from #6 above is selected. If it's not, select it using the dropdown option and once selected, apply it by hitting the 'Change' button with the green check-mark to the right. (c) Once completed, then hit on the 'Send' tab. Open the extracted folder where you installed the terminal program from (#5 above) and open the 'code.txt' file. Copy/paste the first line of text to the very first blank box (i.e. directly under the tabs 'Display', 'Port', 'Capture' etc.) Then hit the 'Send ASCII' button. You should see the pasted text in the black terminal window above, followed by 'ok'. Now remove the pasted text and copy/paste the second line from the 'code.txt' file to the exact same location. Again, hit the 'Send ASCII' button. **Now, quickly look at your phone screen as it should be attempting to make a call to a dead '900' number. You need to be quick, but cancel the call by hitting the red phone symbol and 'quickly' hit on the 'Message' button as if you were going to send a text.
8. You should now arrive at a screen where you can send a text message to the dead number 900. In the text field, type 'www.google.com' and send the text. The text goes nowhere, but now you've created a hyperlink to Google that you can follow (as long as you have WiFi on). Follow it by clicking on the link and you arrive at Google home screen.
9. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8.
10. Download it and install it.
11. After installing, you might get a pop-up window to say that PDP Engine needs to be installed in order for Package Disabler Pro to work. If so, install that too.
12. I also found that searching for and installing ES File Explorer was hugely beneficial, because (a) you have extremely limited functionality on your phone (i.e. you can download the programs, but can't just pull-down from the top of your screen to select them as you may be used to doing. As in, they install, but may not be easily selectable so you have to navigate to their location to run them and (b) now that you have partial access again via Google, you need to be careful not to lose your window of opportunity.
13. So, once you've downloaded & installed #9, #11 (if needed) & #12, open Package Disabler Pro.
14. Search for "Samsung account".
15. Once found, click on it, 'Clear Data' and then 'Disable' it.
16. Go back to Google now and search for QuickShortMaker.
17. Install it and open it. (You may need to use ES File Explorer to be able to navigate to it and open it.)
18. Within 'QuickShortMaker' > 'Incremental search' > 'Activities'; search for "Setup Wizard". It should be near the bottom. There are lots of setup wizards once you find it so pay close attention to specifics here.
19. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity". (It's near the bottom of that particular screen but again, you need to pay attention to the small print and ensure you select the right one.)
20. Once you find it, select 'Create'.
21. Done! You can now restart your phone and after you select your language, then connect to WiFi, you will bypass Samsung Account and gain full access to your phone.
After this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (i.e. Settings > Accounts). There won't be, but you won't be able to add one at this point either....
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and re-enable the "Samsung Account" option.
2. Go to Storage (Settings > Storage) and clear all cache.
3. Go to Find my Mobile (Settings > Lock screen and security > Find my Mobile) and from there you should be prompted to insert your Samsung Account details to successfully add your Samsung account.
4. Once completed, you can either choose to do a Factory data reset (from within 'Settings' > 'Backup and reset'. NOT from recovery. Or you can simply restart your phone if you don't need a factory reset and you should be good to go.
5. Done, now you should have your Samsung account registered to your phone and can sync with your account.
This is what worked for me anyway and gave me full access back to my S6 running stock 6.0.1.
I've tried to be as detailed as I could with this post to ensure all necessary steps are there to follow. It may seem daunting to some before you try it, but I assure you it's relatively straightfoward and I had no problems. I hope someone finds it helpful and it recovers your S6 too if you get stuck in a similar situation to me. All the best.
Well done!
It worked well for me! Thank you!
I had such high hopes for this to work on my Samsung S4, but it doesn't I've got to step 7, did everything as you noted, and when i'm copying text and pressing "Send ASCII" button, it appears in the black field above, but isn't followed by "ok". I put in the second part of the text, still no "ok" and there is no call going through the phone.... I'm not able to proceed any further than this step. Why could that happen? Please help!
Linking to here would be better than writing a long wall of text, just saying. Also for S6 to S7 edge you can downgrade from nougat back to marshmallow 7.0 to 6.0 if needed for FRP bypass / Google Account lock.

Decided I should add to the thread after break activation lock on my G900A (S5 AT&T) that had Android 6.0.1. Around Step 8 is where I got stock and used another thread to get the rest of the way in the phone...albeit a VERY long way around.
Instead of sending a text in Step 8, you can click the paperclip and long press google maps. There's some steps to get to the privacy policy / terms of use (I don't have all the things you had to click). From here, most people long press a word or phrase and use web search or assistant. I got stuck again with some security error.
However, the GOOGLE logo at the top of the page is clickable into Google app and voila I can search for Package Disabler. There is a waffle (3x3 dots) at the top and you can click PLAY STORE but it's the desktop version...dam! However, and it gets worse, you can download but not install any packages from app browser b/c it needs permission for storage. This is where it got hilarious. I found a package disabler download page that advertised to install their proprietary app....clicking that advertisement popped me into Play Store app....hurray!
I was able to search for chrome and open it (you can't download or install any apps from Play store)...then continue on with the with steps. I had difficulty getting package disabler installed with PDP but just kept retrying and it eventually worked. BAM....I'm past the setup login and on the home screen. However, still unable to get reactivation lock turned off nor able to factory reset. The option was not greyed out but putting in my samsung credentials was successful (I could even see my phone in Samsung Find my Phone) but reactivation lock still turned on. dam again! At this point i'm thinking to sell the phone with reactivation lock and try to make $20 on it.
After some interesting research, it appeared that Lollipop and Kitkat were not so secure when it came to Reactivation Lock. One thread suggested to delete your samsung account, downgrade to Lollipop first (then KitKat if unsuccessful), then re-create your samsung account with exact email and password, then boot the phone. This is what ultimately did the trick! I used ODIN and backed down to Android 5.1.1. I signed in and the first setup screen after signin asked to turn on reactivation lock. Unchecked and it's gone! I verified in the bootloader that indeed the lock is gone! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
It works on other samsung phones as well. I fixed a mega 2 using this method. Thanks a bunch

I found a much simpler work around. After you long press google maps, simply open the sidebar menu and press Google earth. It will pop you into the play store app on the Google earth app page. Just search for package disable pro and pdp engine and voila! The only catch is the app itself is $3.45 and I don't think the free version is available anymore. I bought it just to use for this and was going to get it refunded once I'm done. But that avoids the hassle of finding the link that will take you to the store app since I searched endlessly for that promised link to no avail, lol
Sent from my perry using XDA Labs
Also, I ended up having to download an app named blackmart in order to get the PDP app. Even after purchasing through play store. So if anyone needs the apks I can try uploading to a hosting site to save the hassle
what do you mean exactly when you say "android drivers" on your pc?

Copy/paste the first line of text to the very first blank box (i.e. directly under the tabs 'Display', 'Port', 'Capture' etc.) Then hit the 'Send ASCII' button. You should see the pasted text in the black terminal window above, followed by 'ok'. Now remove the pasted text and copy/paste the second line from the 'code.txt' file to the exact same location. Again, hit the 'Send ASCII' button. **Now, quickly look at your phone screen as it should be attempting to make a call to a dead '900' number. You need to be quick, but cancel the call by hitting the red phone symbol and 'quickly' hit on the 'Message' button as if you were going to send a text.
8. You should now arrive at a screen where you can send a text message to the dead number 900. In the text field, type 'www.google.com' and send the text. The text goes nowhere, but now you've created a hyperlink to Google that you can follow (as long as you have WiFi on). Follow it by clicking on the link and you arrive at Google home screen.
9. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8.
10. Download it and install it.
11. After installing, you might get a pop-up window to say that PDP Engine needs to be installed in order for Package Disabler Pro to work. If so, install that too.
12. I also found that searching for and installing ES File Explorer was hugely beneficial, because (a) you have extremely limited functionality on your phone (i.e. you can download the programs, but can't just pull-down from the top of your screen to select them as you may be used to doing. As in, they install, but may not be easily selectable so you have to navigate to their location to run them and (b) now that you have partial access again via Google, you need to be careful not to lose your window of opportunity.
13. So, once you've downloaded & installed #9, #11 (if needed) & #12, open Package Disabler Pro.
14. Search for "Samsung account".
15. Once found, click on it, 'Clear Data' and then 'Disable' it.
16. Go back to Google now and search for QuickShortMaker.
17. Install it and open it. (You may need to use ES File Explorer to be able to navigate to it and open it.)
18. Within 'QuickShortMaker' > 'Incremental search' > 'Activities'; search for "Setup Wizard". It should be near the bottom. There are lots of setup wizards once you find it so pay close attention to specifics here.
19. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity". (It's near the bottom of that particular screen but again, you need to pay attention to the small print and ensure you select the right one.)
20. Once you find it, select 'Create'.
21. Done! You can now restart your phone and after you select your language, then connect to WiFi, you will bypass Samsung Account and gain full access to your phone.
After this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (i.e. Settings > Accounts). There won't be, but you won't be able to add one at this point either....
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and re-enable the "Samsung Account" option.
2. Go to Storage (Settings > Storage) and clear all cache.
3. Go to Find my Mobile (Settings > Lock screen and security > Find my Mobile) and from there you should be prompted to insert your Samsung Account details to successfully add your Samsung account.
4. Once completed, you can either choose to do a Factory data reset (from within 'Settings' > 'Backup and reset'. NOT from recovery. Or you can simply restart your phone if you don't need a factory reset and you should be good to go.
5. Done, now you should have your Samsung account registered to your phone and can sync with your account.
This is what worked for me anyway and gave me full access back to my S6 running stock 6.0.1.
I've tried to be as detailed as I could with this post to ensure all necessary steps are there to follow. It may seem daunting to some before you try it, but I assure you it's relatively straightfoward and I had no problems. I hope someone finds it helpful and it recovers your S6 too if you get stuck in a similar situation to me. All the best.

Hello. I know the thread is old but this may help. None of the Samsungs I've used did happen to work with Realterm yet (not saying it does not work). So here is an alternative that can drive you straight into the device setting. There choose "Easy Mode" an boom on the home screen. From home screen tap "easy settings/easy mode an activate normal mode. I tried this method on my Note 4 (SM-N910T) and It worked.
Steps :
1- Download and flash the firmware with Odin or whatever capable box/tool (but ou may skip this step if "lock screen like slide to unlock" is activated in the locked phone). To know this option is on just press power to turn off/on the screen. If you see a lock screen instead of the "choose language" screen go to step 2. If not "DON'T FACCTORY RESET". It won't help. Flash as many times as required until you get to a lock screen. Just off/on the sreen to see.
2- From the lock screen swipe on the "Phone" icon and choose the contact app.
3- On the new call window, tap "contacts" on the upper right then open options (the 3 vertical dots) and choose settings/contacts/accounts an add a google account. This account should have a contact with email in it. For example I added my google account which had many contacts with emailss, I then ranomly chose a name with email and tried to send an email.
4- From email editing screen select the 3 dots of options and go to accounts.
5- A seurity mini window will pop up. Accept it.
6- Boom you are in the settings.
7- Search for "easy mode" and apply it. You'll land on the home screen.
8- You can have access to normal screen by going to easy setting/easy mode/normal mode .and apply.
9- Direct install package disabler and other needed apps from pc or send them to your phone memory an manual install them.
10- Follow the instructions from The..King to bypass now that you can do it.
NB: BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE HOME BUTTON TO GO BACK TO HOME SCREEN OR YOU WILL BE WELCOME BY A BLANK BLACK SCREEN. USE BACK BUTTON INSTEAD. OR USE RECENT WINDOWS BUTTON TO ACCESS BEFORE USED APPS. IF YOU WANT TO CLEAR RECENT APPS KEEP "SETTINGS" WINDOWS AS YOU CAN HAVE THE CONTROL BACK THE EASY MODE/NORMAL MODE.

Hopefully this might help someone who comes across a similarly bizarre situation. I've gone into detail to ensure anyone who tries this has all the info needed, so apologies for the biblical post but this 100% worked for me on my S6.
Ok, so here's the dilemma I was faced with which was a total nightmare. My phone (although otherwise fully functional) was slowing down a tad and becoming quite laggy so I decided to factory reset it (as I've done a hundred times before to several phones over the years). All the usual pre-requisites were carried out (back-ups taken, usb debugging on, reactivation lock cleared, etc.) I proceeded to factory reset the device, all went as expected without any issues. Once completed and at the 1st setup page, I selected language and proceeded. I set up WiFi connection and proceeded. I was then met with the next setup page, my Samsung Account. However, there was a message - "This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you." Well, I naturally proceeded to enter my Samsung ID and correct password, but that's when things got weird. After a longer than expected period to sign in, I got a brief pop-up to say "Processing failed". That was it, no other explanation, no other option, no other way around it. I was now 100% locked out of my phone which I have had (store bought from brand new) for 2yrs. I contacted Samsung support, but I think we all know that was a complete waste of time - so I began to research extensively. I came here to XDA first but couldn't find any solution, I then scoured the web and checked a tonne of YT videos. Again, nothing doing - it was all either outdated information, Samsung had patched vulnerabilities, or the methods were just time-wasting idiots posting hoax fixes which did nothing. It was worth it to a point though because I got several tips and picked up some software. Then after about 8hrs, I stumbled across another post from someone here on XDA https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/help/reactivation-lock-bypass-samsung-account-t3625723#post73617288. Massive thanks to him/her. The basis of his/her method definitely works, but I had a few improvements, particularly concerning the dialling of emergency numbers. So, that's the background to the issue I had and how I got to here. The following is the full method of what I did and I can say that I have a 100% fully functional S6 again. I've gone into this detail as I've found that a lot of posts can be a bit vague, so hopefully this helps someone out....
1. On the 1st setup wizard page after the factory reset has completed; select your language, then connect to (WiFi preferably). You then arrive at the Samsung Account sign-in and cannot proceed any further.
2. Make sure that your phone is NOT connected to your PC at this stage and just for clarity - also make sure than your SIM card is still in your phone. (Some instructions say to remove it, don't do that if you want this to work.)
3. Leave your phone alone for the moment.
4. Ensure that 'Samsung Drivers' for your phone are installed on your PC. (If they already are - great. If not, install them so that when you eventually connect your phone to your PC later, you can see it.
5. Next, download the terminal program here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4OYgE4A8WCzckpyTDVuODc4TWs/view It's called Realterm and is only about 12MB. (There are other newer versions of this available, but this one worked for my purposes.) Extract the program and install (running it as Admin) and ensure that all 4 boxes are 'ticked' as you install (i.e. usually 'source' & 'DLPortIO' boxes are un-ticked, so put a tick in both and then complete the install. As the install completes, un-tick both boxes 'Register' and 'Show ReadMe'. Done. You should now have 'Realterm' icon on your desktop.
6. Back to your phone now. With it still stuck at the Samsung Account sign-in window (or any preceding window), connect the phone to your PC. If an 'installing drivers' pop-up appears on your PC, wait for the Samsung driver to finish installing. If on the other hand, you phone connects to your PC straight away, then proceed straight to 'Manage'. (i.e. Right-click on 'My Computer', select 'Manage' and select 'Device Manager' from the left list. Then in the main window select 'Modems', then right-click on 'Samsung Mobile USB Modem' and select 'Properties'. Hit the 'Modem' tab at the top and simply note the Port. It should be Com & a number, for example 'Com3'. Once noted, you can now close all 'Manage' windows.
7. Open 'Realterm' from your desktop icon by right-clicking and running as admin. (a) On the 'Display' tab, ensure the 'Half Duplex' box has a tick inside it. Don't mess with any other settings here. (b) Then hit on the 'Port' and ensure that the port number you noted from #6 above is selected. If it's not, select it using the dropdown option and once selected, apply it by hitting the 'Change' button with the green check-mark to the right. (c) Once completed, then hit on the 'Send' tab. Open the extracted folder where you installed the terminal program from (#5 above) and open the 'code.txt' file. Copy/paste the first line of text to the very first blank box (i.e. directly under the tabs 'Display', 'Port', 'Capture' etc.) Then hit the 'Send ASCII' button. You should see the pasted text in the black terminal window above, followed by 'ok'. Now remove the pasted text and copy/paste the second line from the 'code.txt' file to the exact same location. Again, hit the 'Send ASCII' button. **Now, quickly look at your phone screen as it should be attempting to make a call to a dead '900' number.

Works like balerina. I read this post many times. I have no Windows Machine thus I can not use amazing Real Term.
I found bloated 6.0.1 ROM for SM-G925F From Globe Philipines G925FXXS5DRB1_G925FOLB4DQJ1_G925FXXS5DRA2 . I understand the most important is How to open Browser . This ROM give a Golden Chance to access browser. I used other android phone to set up google account via NFC. After completing setting up google account ROM asking to add another email account. So I choose Yahoo > tap sign up > privacy policy it will pop up two option > open using Chrome or Samsung Browser. Choose Chrome.
A. Turn S6E to download mode.
B. Flash the bootloader (sboot.bin), hidden.img, system.img (i used heimdall on gentoo linux)
- heimdall flash --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin --HIDDEN hidden.img --SYSTEM system.img
- Nougat boot will booting 6.0 properly.
C. Booting up
D. Setup google account.
E. On the page to set another email. choose Yahoo > tap Sign Up > tap Privacy Policy > this will pop up the browser > choose chrome
From here you just follow above #9 to Finish.

Is there some way to use heimdall in a Windows Machine?
