I have a galaxy s2 (I9100) which is upgraded to the latest official build.Few days back I rooted it succesfully and modded it with CM 11 .Due to an old issue in the radio transmitter , I flashed the official mod in order to send it to the customer care, without setting the binary count back to zero , which result into bricking the phone.Still the employees of samsung accepted the phone and by some or the other means , they were able to unbrick and unroot it and flashed the official kernel.Now yesterday I decided to root the phone again to flash MIUI mod. But I saw the mod count changed to "1" .I tried the "triangle away " app but it needs it to be rooted.Can I proceed in rooting phone ?
I wrote in separate thread 10 days ago.
I got the rooted Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) which if I try to boot to recovery gives an error: dm-verity verification need to check drk first.
Then following step by step instructions I installed TWRP.
And flashed custom rom SuperMan-Rom V1.6.5
Rom worked fine until I rebooted the device for the first time. Then I got message:
Code:
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP
Maybe I accidentally turned off OEM unlock in Developer settings, but I honestly don't remember I did that.
And after that I got the hard brick. This is confirmed by @CuBz90 in this thread
So my question is:
1. After the Galaxy S7 is rooted/custom recovery is installed, the DRK is damaged and dm-verity verification will fail if stock rom is installed, right?
2. If user accidentally turn off OEM Unlock the device will be hard bricked, right?
Is that two steps one way ultimate bricking?
I'm asking that because I'm thinking of buying new Galaxy S7 to replace the bricked one, but if hard bricking is that easy, than I'm not really sure I will buy it again.
Dude, try to kill him completly ( nothing on screen ) then send him to warranty, you got nothing to lose.

It's not possible since I bought it second hand.
Even if I had a warranty, in my country (Serbia) warranty for smartphones doesn't mean much, I think I could write PhD thesis easier than to make seller replace/fix smartphone with warranty

Thanks but this will not fix my problem.

No I didn't but the fact is it will not work.
There is currently no way to fix that. The only way would be to unlock FRP by some box, but it isn't released yet.
What I am asking here is true that Galaxy S7 could be hard bricked that easy? By steps I wrote in my first post.
My questions are partially answered in this article
But I still don't understand what's the problem with dm-variety if I flashed stock rom?
Is there are any other parts of the NAND that are not original/signed and that's why dm-verity fails?
If that's the case can they be backed up then reflashed with the Odin if I get into same problem with new phone?
Thanks
@mss1988 Even if you get message as locked because of FRP, just use Smart switch with Emergency recovery mode and you will get the device back to its original state. This works even if the device is rooted or Twrp'd

Thanks, but Smart Switch Emergency Recovery is basically the same thing as Kies Firmware update. Which I already tried and that didn't fixed my problem.

@mss1988 I have personally faced this issue on Samsung J7 and J5 and later I had to use Smart Switch's Emergency recovery functionality by enter my Serial number and Device Model Number and Successfully finished flashing the stock ROM. Yes, This works.

I don't have the phone anymore to confirm or to deny this. But the whole procedure in Kies and Smart Switch is the same. There are other people with the same problem too in this thread too, and they still didn't found the way to unbrick their devices.

I went through this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516 which gives a link to downloading the factory binary (of either version). It reinstated my IMEI which had been turned to a string of zeroes. I will say that when you reboot after flashing the factory binary it's pretty different looking so be prepared for that. I then went to Sammobile and downloaded the appropriate stock ROM for my s7 and flashed that with Odin. I flashed TWRP, formatted internal data when given the opportunity, flashed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, and I was able to use my s7 again. At any rate, you might follow the guide at the link I gave you and see if it helps. As always, no guarantee is given or implied. It's just what I did.
Thanks man, but I can't flash the Factory binary, my FRP is unfortunately ON.

Install dm-verity and force encryption disabler
Wipe Cache

There's no adb/fastboot access from Samsung recovery or Samsung download mode, as far as I know.
Just get your phone into downloadmode and then flash the stock firmware witch you can find on sammobile. I got also this problem, and then everything will be fine ?
did you try use Kies or Smart swticher to factory restore the phone ?
because as far as i know , even FRP is on , you can still flash stock firmware.
and , try local shop to find any place have z3x box or Octopus box .
Hi Guys,
i have some questions concerning rooting. I have a stock Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) with T-Mobile branding. I would like to install a Custom ROM because my battery life is so bad but i love this phone (for example because of its water resistance and the fact that my hobby is diving ).
So my plan is:
1. root my device and install a custom Nougat ROM (to change the screen resolution)
2. when the official update is out i want to go back to stock Firmware
3. now my question: Is it possible to receive OTA Updates after getting back to stock firmware?
I know know is set to 0x1 after a root and im going to lose my varranty but thats no problem, i would only like to receive OTA Updates after going back to stock firmware.
Thank you for your help!
Greetings from Munich and have a great new Year 2017
Hi!
As long as your device is stock, recovery included, you should receive the ota no problem. So flashing stock firmware and recovery should do the trick. :good:
Don't accept an ota if you do happen to get an update notification, if you are not completely stock. It will fail.
Last resort too, is flashing an updated version manually. If that's possible for your device.
Good luck!
I posted i thought but don't see it i rooted an LG ls675 with king root removed a couple preinstalled apps sprint zone and 2 amazon apps I mistakenly tried ota failed found out this unrooted my phone and tried another ota that failed also running stock installed a root browser titanium bu busy box ect do i need to remove these apps or will i have to do factory reset to get this update running 5.1.1
Hi,
I've one (big) problem that I can't fix.
I've been using Android 5.0.1 for more than 1 year as I didn't want to upgrade (it worked pretty well) and because I had the S6 rooted with PingPong root.
However, one month ago it started to run slowly, crashing apps, ... so I decided that, as I wanted to wipe the device, why not upgrade to MM (6.0.1)??, so I did.
I did a backup of all my data and EFS folder and downloaded a 6.0.1 ROM to flash it with ODIN. Everything went OK and finished flashing the rom, but when the S6 restarted it showed this in the recovery:
'dm-verity verificztion failed...
Need to check DRK first...'
And I cant boot.
I've tried some tips that are here and in other websites:
- I've flashed stock rom again
- I've flashed a stock rom without cache.img file.
- I Can't flash some files as I've R/L ON. (I've been trying to disable it for many months but I couldn't).
But the S6 doesn't boot...
Thank you!
What worked for me.
So this is my current issue, but i was able to resolve the issue you are having. so what i did was get the 5.1X OK7 (My phone is Verizon) firmware and flashed through ODIN 3.12.5, this flashed stock 5.1.1 in my phone and it worked good. however i have issue with my phone random restarts and power button not working in recovery or in rom. however i can go in and out of downloading mode or maintenance mode.

I tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 but I get an error.
(SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2 BINARY 1)
That happens when you don't have the right firmware you have.
You CANNOT downgrade to 5.1 or 5.0 since you are on 6.0. The bootloaders refuses to be overwritten.

I'm trying to flash another 6.0.1 ROM (a bit older), but I get 'CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 4, BINARY:3'
I've read that DRK problems are related with EFS files, so... Can I restore EFS folder (I've a backup from Android 5.0.1) to solve?? I don't know how to restore it without booting into the sistem (and without custom recovery)
I am afraid that downgrade to 5.0.1 is not possible, at least I dont know anyone who succedeed in doing that.
If you were on systemless root, probably your Knox is still 0, check it in DL mode, if it is and you have the phone less that 3 yrs (1 yr warranty+2yrs factory warranty) best solution would be to ask in Samsung repair center if the factory warranty would be accepted (ofcourse dont mention flashing, just say you tried official update, and play dumb).
If not you can try custom kernel wich will bypass DRK, and prolly make the phone bootable, but there is no guarantee everything will work well (maybe it will, but mostly it doesnt, forget using Samsung pay, and KNOX tripped)
As for EFS, maybe I am wrong, but I think EFS contains IMEI and sn info, and DRK is something else.

Thank you for your reply!!
I had the device rooted, but with PingPong root, so Knox is still 0. However it shows that the system is "custom".
I'll try the warranty, they may not notice the "custom", just the knox.
I'm with the same problem when trying to flash stock BTU QA7..and only if i flashing cf_root my phone is booting.
Any idea? I don't care about the Knox..

If you are talking about DRK, the only way to fix it that I know of, other than hw replacement, is via 3rd party professional repair tool. (Octopus/Octoplus box)
If DRK is ok, phone boots normaly, if it is messed up, the only way of booting is with custom kernel which bypass DRK check.
You can check it in recovery, if messed up it will say DM verity failed on bottom of the screen.
Ok, i send my phone to fix, i will tell you what happened.

Thanks for your reply!!.
I took my S6 (925F) to a Samsung service center as you said. However, they told me that my S/N was incorrect (I bought a second-hand S6 edge, I think someone changed it) so they couldn't fix it.
Now I'm trying to use SmartSwitch to do a factory reset but it asks me for the S/N and I don't have the original one, just a S/N from a non edge S6 (920F). How can I do the factory reset without my S/N??? Can I use the serial number from another 925F??
Now I'm trying to find an engineering bootloader, to bypass the R/L and flash CF-AutoRoot, custom recovery.... but I only find it for 5.0.1 or... for galaxy S6 G925T, not F.
Finally, I managed to fix my S6 by myself!! (not really, but at least it boots...)
This is what I did:
- I found a factory binary for my S6 so I flashed it via ODIN
- I flashed a 6.0.1 ROM without hidden and without cache
Then it boots without any problems. However, now I can't get into recovery
I hope this will help someone
Hello everybody!
I'm new on this stuff of rooting my s8+ Phone (SM-G955FD-Exinos), actually i can get the root, installin magisk and that sfuff, everything is ok, but when i restar my Phone, got a bootloop, the phone says "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed ", well after that and 2 days with my phone dead, i finally can install the Official rom from Samsung and bring my phone alive, obiously without Root
I was searching about, and that happen because my Firmware is the latest update from samsung, the G955FXXU4CRK1, so its the 4 Binary, i found that i just can get root in the Binary 1 but when i try to flash that binary, Odin Says i have the binary 4 and cant instal the 1 Binary.
So, i just want to know, if i can get root for my firmware and after root the phone i can restart it witouth get a bootloop, of maybe i can Downgrade my Firmware to 7.0 and get fully root there?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.,
