I just bought my first android phone and I followed the guides here in for my Samsung Galaxy Core. I had successfully rooted and installed CWM recovery and then i followed the guide of installing Monster ROM. Being new to flashing i didn't know that i also need to unlock the bootloader and flashed without unlocking it and now my phone is soft bricked. I can just enter in Download Mode and whenever i flash with Stock ROM it gets failed at around 90%. Please help!
Remember : I didn't unlock boot loader.

You dont need to unlock bootloader if u have a retail galaxy core.. if ur flashing is getting failed at 90% try other pc or for last resort go visit service center
Thank you!

Thanks Siddhesh, it is working now. Actually i was using the wrong ODIN that is given here in CWM Flashing tutorial. But when i used ODIN3 v1.85 it flashed the stock rom right way.
Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is the right section to post this question, I'm new in the forum.
I just kept my ex boyfriend tablet and now I'm experimenting with it, but I have a few questions:
If I want to use Odin to flash a custom kernel , let's say rj's Kernel, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked ?
How do I unlock the boot loader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 International version ?
Could you please help me Unlock the bootloader ? Could you please explain if I need the bootloader unlocked to install a custom kernel with ODIN ?
Do I need the bootloader unlocked to install a recovery and then do a Nandroid backup and then install a custom kernel ?
Device:
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 - YP-G70 International version.

To flash a ROM or recovery and do a NAndroid backup you need an unlocked bootloader.
To unlock your bootloader, use this Windows program: http://www.mediafire.com/?f3gi19g1zz3frg3
I hope this helps you, but don't forget, with unlocking your bootloader, all your data will be erased!

well with this device im not sure if you need to unlock the bootloader. some need the bootloader unlocked some don't. i would ask in the official forums for the Player http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-player you need to tell them its international as well.
Thanks Guys, it has been really helpful.
Could you please let me know the name of the program I have to use to unlock the bootloader for this device?
I've been reading like crazy and I understood when I unlock all data will be lost, but that's not a problem at all.
Then I would like to flash rj's kernel which comes with Clockworkmod and then from there I would be interested in doing some Nandroid backups and installing cyanogenmod.
In fact I would like to be able to do a backup even before installing a custom kernel so I can preserve the original kernel and android, I installed an application called something like nandroid backup and I managed to do a backup compatible with clockworkmod but the thing is that it skipped the boot and recovery folders, so it makes me think the bootloader is locked.
Please any comments are very welcome.
If there is anyone here from Ft. Lauderdale we could even meet in a mall and do the thing together with the laptop.
Thanks again for all your help honeys

Like I said your going to want to hit up the official forums but I'm keeping a lookout for a way. There has to be a way if there's custom ROMs already

its rooted with eroot on stock rom and stock kernel with locked bootloader.
i wanted to install cwm mod on my phone but i found that i cant install cwm on my device as my stock kernel does not have recovery partition and i dont want to unlock my bootloader atm. i tried xparts and xdaromhub to install cwm on my device without unlocking bl but none of the method seems to be working for me. now i am thinking to go ahead and unlocking my bl and install a custom kernel but i want to know is there any method by which i cam backup my current state of my phone i.e. in future if i want to revert back to stock rom and stock kernel with bootloader locked like it was never unlocked. if there is a method for that please tell me or if u know any other method of installing cwm without unlocking bl pls tell me that too. also i have a backup of my stock firmware from pc companion which i made .ftf file with flashtool. i have flashed it successfully in past so will that firmware relock my bootloader and revert to stock kernel and stock rom if i flash it with flashtool after unlocking bl? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much for reading

Hey developers!
Sorry, i am new here, sorry for any error, which i may do. So, about question i have Samsung Galaxy J500FN (j5nltexx) i want to get nougat update, i still wait and didnt get I have plan, how to install unofficial nougat on my phone. I already try it, but i "brick" my phone and i put it into repair center, and there they flash stock firmware (i havent access for original firmware directly from samsung sorted by imei and s/n, i can flash firmware). Then i have very big fear about my phone. I told myself "never do it again" XD. So i have newer plan how to install it. But dont know if will run it correctly.
1. Flash TWRP via Odin
2.I have android 7 for j5nltexx (J516 Serenity) from XDA
3. Wipe system.
4. Install J516Serenity.zip
5. After Instalation wait for system config
6. Flash Stock recovery back
When i do it for first, my phone turns on FRP and after restart i got screen "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP" Then i didnt know what do. I go to service center for original firmware. Now is on my phone stock firmware.
Now. I know that FRP doesnt support Custom Binary (TWRP). And this issue i want resolve by flash original recovery, but will phone run with unofficial android and stock recovery?? (I should to extract recovery.img from originalfirmware.tar). Please tell me for any better or safest step by you experience. I repeat again J516 Serenity has been already installed and worked excellently but FRP lock block restart phone with TWRP. And i dont know if i can flash stock recovery on unofficial system. Thank you soo much. :angel:
Hi there, I want to relock my bootloader and install stock recovery for X507, EUI 019s, is there any guide to do that?
P.S: I want my phone back to stock, didn't find any link for stock recovery, also i don't wanna use sp tool as it bricked my device last time, so complicated.
Right now bootloader is unlocked and twrp installed.
Thanks in Advance!
