I am helping a person try and retrieve photos from a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is stock at the lock screen. The finger print scan is not working and they do not know there back up password. I researched two ways to get around this.
1. Entering in the google account user name and password
2. Signing into Find My Mobile with the samsung account information and unlocking the phone
If both of these options fail due to the owner not remembering there above credentials is there any other way to retrieve photos. How about putting the phone in dfu mode and using a program on a computer to copy photos from the internal storage. Is something like this possible? Appreciate any help on this issue.
Maybe flash a stock ROM with Odin?
That way all the data stays in tact and it may remove lock screen.

Thanks for the quick response. The lady is paranoid about losing her photos! Therefore flashing with Odin Stock Rom will not remove any data from the phone. Do you have instructions or a link on how to do this.
I also am able to sign into her google account through the web browser, but when I use those credentials to try and unlock the Galaxy S6 it says that the user name or email is wrong. Thanks

Sounds like she could be learning a hard lesson. Backup passwords, knowing what accounts you used to setup, photo backups all exist for a reason.

I totally agree with your assessment! I don't understand how I can log into her Gmail account via the web and then when I enter the same information at the Galaxy S6 Unlock via Google it does not work. Could this have something to do with not being connected to the internet. It is saying that 4G LTE is connected. Doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to WiFi without unlocking home screen.
If this was my phone I would have no trouble trying to flash the Odin stock Rom, but do not want to lose her info incase someone else can retrieve it. Does flashing the Odin stock ROM wipe everything on the phone or does it retain photos and other information. Thanks
I'm in this same situation. Is there anyway to retrieve the pictures? Flashing with Odin does not wipe the phone?
Wasn't life easier when we had removable sd cards...?
Flashing the system partition does not touch the data partition.
Do you know how she managed to break the fingerprint reader, by the way?
My G920F stuck on bootloop because of fail on rooting and I was afraid of losing all my photos. First I flashed TWRP with Odin, booted to recovery mode and pulled photos and videos out with adb. Then I flashed stock firmware with Odin and made a factory reset (not mandatory). Everything is working fine now.

I suppose doing this you had USB debugging ENABLED before the boot-fail? Or does it turn on USB debug when flashing TWRP?

Agree WahFai, much simpeler with SD-card! So you think flashing system partition will do the trick. I'll go read up on that, how to flash the system partition. In my case, afaik, the fingerprint reader did not break. The system failed accepting the unlock code from one day to another and she does not remember the backup code for the reader. Thanks for your reply!
All she wants are the pictures on the phone. She recently got a baby, all the pictures of the delivery are on the phone, so you sense the urgency to not loose the pictures. She'll still feel the effects 18 years from now.
By the way: does flashing the stock rom with odin void the warranty? Because the phone is still on warranty...
Flashing a stock rom via odin will not trip knox but flashing a custom recovery will.
Thanks for clearing that out for me.

At this point, it sounds like flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) is your only option.

Check droidviews article of "How to Push and Pull Files on Android using the ADB commands".
I'm pretty sure that knox will be tripped.
Also go to my profile and check thread that I've started. I explain there how I did it.
If you've any problems post here or pm me.
I now found the instructions on how to pull files with ADB. I connected the phone to my pc and checked if the device was recognized. This was not the case. Does this mean, that the USB debugging was not enabled?
Edit: Thanks dsimpe. Saw the post too late again. Note to self: need to refresh page before making a reply... I'll go check out your posts. Thanks again.

My device wasn't recognized either before I flashed TWRP with Odin and I booted to recovery mode.
Ok, tnx dsimpe. I guess USB debugging must have been turned on before also on the phone? And can you confirm knox will be tripped?

Just yesterday night when i came home, I plugged in my phone to the charger and i noticed that this FRP lock notification appeared.
https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/3/4/0/9/7/0/1/IMAG0008.jpg
It looks like that. I attempted to flash a stock firmware on my phone because apparently that would be a solution to this problem. When I attempt to flash it to the stock rom, this message appeared " can't open the serial(com) port". I do not have kies installed so that isn't one of the problem. I have some important data saved on this phone, and I can't lose it. Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to factory reset?

What happened when you just restarted the phone? All I see in the first picture is the phone is in ODIN Mode, the phone has been rooted, and one of the 2 Factory Reset Protection modes is on.

I agree with this post. As I had the same problem on the Note 5. U must flash the version tar that is on the phone or u will get a failed error. I worked for 2 days and this the only thing that worked. I hope u have a TWRP backup saved to your PC or to an OTG sdcard. Because u are going to lose everything.

It surprises me that no one has offered a real solution to this as of yet. It seeems like no one cares enough to follow up on their work. So here I am about to tackle another Custome Binary Blocked by FRP issue. Some of these FRP lock are quite difficult as you may see with this one I'm going to invite to the forum. I'll introduce Brookland and ask for an explaination of their issue so far.

Hi i dont know what aspecially you want to do...
would you just flash the stock rom? Then the frp Lock is no problem. You just need the right Firmware for your device. sm-g920F or 920T or 920P or 920W..........
to download samsung firmware just use:
samfirm

or use frija

booth of them doing the same....to download the choosen firmware in a fast way.
then flash the firmware with odin und it will work.
or
would you remove the frp lock to flash costum rom on a device you found in the gras or on the beach a device you didnt know the google account login data.
its possible but....
btw your picture upload in the first thread isnt availlable any more

If it were that simple I would have been over this a month ago. I'm not talking about the FRP lock that is related to the google account sign in. It's "Custom Binaries are Blocked by FRP Lock". That's sometimes a lot more difficult to fix than your standard FRP lock. Like this time. This ones not in my hands or I would've been done with it by now.
I'm trying to assist someone who has their S6 Plus locked up and I've already supplied them with the Stock, Combination and Repair Files with no positive results. So unless you have another method I haven't heard of this one will be number 2 of devices out of 47 that I couldn't return to operational status. Thanks for trying to help.
Ok pls tell me...what kind of s6 it is.
First you need to flash the stock Rom from Samsung.
I have a Idea...do you have Teamviewer? Then i could try remote Control to Support you.
But you need first to flash the stock Rom. Even Stock Firmware is flash on the device. You need wait for first start. During startup you must enter the Google Login data. This Google Login data is the Key to Open the device and after this. To remove the frp Lock. Then you can flash any othrr Rom you like to.
Lol
Can anyone help? I spent a big chunk of my hard earned money on a refurbed S6 for my daughter, she's had it about a week (she's Pokemon mad btw). The latest update for Pokemon Go came out and now she's blocked from the game as it appears the phone has been rooted. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bought it. Anyway, for the last 2 days my partner and I have been trying to unroot it. We've used various versions of Odin to no avail. I had a lot of trouble finding the right firmware because it looks like the phone was Polish according to the version and CSC numbers, and tbh I'm still not sure if we're trying the right one. Software is 5.1.1. right now. I've tried installing SuperSU but it won't run, it just crashes the phone and forces a reboot. We've tried manually unrooting with a file manager but the su files we need to delete reappear seconds after they're deleted. I'm at the end of my tether, does anyone have any ideas?
You won't be able to unroot it until you flash stock firmware. I don't know if the game checks the knox status.
Give this a go

Unforunately my partner spent almost all night trying to flash the firmware. According to him it 'nearly' worked, however, I now have a phone stuck in a boot loop. :crying:

Smart switch won't work, says it doesn't recognise the device
I think I would give original firmware of your country and odin a try. One of possible ways is to download all needed files from the site of sammobile.
For me this way works every time when I stuck in boot loop. Odin functionates when you are in download mode. Switch off your s6, then start by pressing home-, powerbutton and Volume down at the same time.
Then start Odin on PC, then connect USB and so on.

When you select emergency recovery theres an option where you have to write the device model and the serial number
Use kies 3 on your computer. When you get it do a "firmware upgrade and installation" it will ask for your serial number which you can get from download mode when pressing the home key. After that kies 3 will ask to boot your phone to recovery but instead boot to download and bow your phone will flash to stock. This method always work!!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried Kies already and I can't get it to work at all. I get a message telling me my device is not compatible and the whole thing just stops. I'll give it another go though, no harm in trying. Thanks
@amber_1978, Pokemon Go does not check for root. The only thing it does seem to check for is location spoofing via another app. I'm using it on a rooted, Knox tripped, Xposed installed phone with no issues.
If you want to return the phone back to stock, the best way IMO would be to use Odin to flash a stock image, such as the EPD1 firmware.

Really? Did you do the latest update in the game and it still worked ok? This phone has definitley not been used for location spoofing by us and I'm pretty sure there were no apps of that nature on the phone. I downloaded a root checker when everything went wrong the other day, it said the phone was rooted. I'm totally at a loss tbh. Right now it's still in a boot loop. Trying to flash it with Odin as we speak.
Just an update. Tried Smart Switch. Tried the model and serial numbers on the back of the phone case, these weren't recognised so I went to the recovery screen and hit the home button and got a completely different set of numbers. Different IMEI, model number, you name it. I'm assuming this is why Odin won't work, I'm looking for the wrong firmware? I obviously have Frankenstein's phone. No idea what to do now.
Best thing to do is to flash TWRPP and try to flash a custom stock rom through the TWRP recovery which does not have root installed..... If that doesn't work try to find a generic stock firmware for Odin, meaning a firmware that can run in any country..... If all else fails update it to 6.0.1 stock firmware. Try the closest firmwares to your location.
And if you do manage to get to the Samsung logo let the phone sit there for a good 10 minutes even if it reboots....
When I bricked my Samsung I used masiks custom 6.0.1 rom based on stock, but had all the links to bootloaders cscs radios and what not so giv that a shot if you can find it.

do you have lucky patcher playstore installed ?
Do you have a IMEI issue or are you getting a DRK error?
This is either when your IMEI and/or Baseband shows Unknown (or a bunch of zeros) or you may be getting a DRK error when trying to boot your phone (sometimes even both).
This is caused by a missing or damaged EFS partition and can be repaired.
I am here to help. Some of you may have seen my guide over in the S7 forum which helps to fix this issue. Well, I plan on creating a similar guide for the S8.
In the meantime, if you are having any issues as mentioned above, please complete THIS FORM. Once I have received your form I will get back to you with information advising what can and cannot be done. I will then send instructions on how to fix your issue. This will also help towards creating my guide as it will give me some insight into the S8 EFS partition. As I do not have an S8 myself.
Hi.
I've got a Samsung galaxy note 5, model no. SM-N9208 TAIWAN.
I am having problems with DRK missing and dm-verity issues. Someone helped me with a by-pass fix but this only works with Marshmallow. If I upgrade to Nougat the bypass does not work as I get stuck on the "device does not have DRK, please install DRK first" screen.
Ever since I got this phone in September 2015, every time Samsung has done an update the phone no longer works in my car via the Rsap connection to my cars head unit. Rooting the phone, installing the RSAP app used to work fine up until Marshmallow, so something that Samsung keep doing with each update defeats the connection, so I've messed around and messed around until something that I've done has upset the phone, Samsung or both and now it won't upgrade to Nougat because of DRK being "missing" or dm-verity blocking things! any help would be much appreciated !
I have been told that the modem\radio part of the software might be to blame for refusing the Rsap connection, dunno if that gives any clues.
Best Regards.
Ian.
hope to see a new combination from you
pleeeeeezzzz tell me there is a fix now?
Hi CuBz90! (sorry for my poor english)
Well, having a S8+ (955F) i got stuck in the first screen when its says "DRK Error". I was installing the latest AQG5 version to re-root, and install a custom rom when i have problems. TWRP cant run and mount well the external sdcard and OTG. So, i read a post that said it was for this latest Bootloader. This guy says:
"If you have flashed the latest AQG5 firmware and now stuck in a bootloop of the Samsung logo and only able to get into download mode here is the fix thats sorted many out. Stop sweating your not screwed lol After many hours of doing just this with @sebastassara and another guy we got it sorted
1. Download earlier firmware AQF7
2. Hold power, volume down and bixby button for download mode
3. Open Odin on your PC
4. Add the AQF7 BL and only this
5. Hit start and straight after this hold the 3 buttons in again power, volume down and bixby (this should fail at first and bring you straight back into download mode)
6. Now back on Odin spam the start button this time (this should flash the BL and have you sorted again)"
So, i did it! And now im here. Im completing your form but i dont have a EFS backup...
So, what can i do?

This guy, up here, @dannytgt its a f...ing genius!
I have my phone fully functional again! Now, running Renovate ICE 3.0.
1) First at all, i have to flash entirely the stock firmware AQF7 (a total donwgrade from AQG5).
2) When im in the blue screen with the "Error DRK" just reboot the phone into Donwload Mode.
3) Flash the CF_Autoroot .tar/md5 from the original zip via ODIN. Its a .zip so you will have to extract the .tar/md5.
4) The phone will restart and begin install the stock rom.
5) In my case, the IMEI was ok but the phone still saying "Emergency Call" so reboot again in Donwload Mode, flash TWRP and later the Dm-no verity zip.
6) Wipe Dalviks and caches and reboot to system.
7) Enjoy again your phone!

Hi Luigi!
Sorry for the late answer. To solve that problem you just need to install the dm-verity zip (can find it here, in this page). Reboot in recovery mode, install the zip and reboot into system. Everything should be fine.

Hey all . I recently recovered my imei back on my g955f!! One problem. My serial number does not match the one that came with the phone. Imei matches up but serial doesn't. Does this matter if I'm trying to make calls from my Phone? Phone is not blacklisted.
Hey, can you elaborate on your process? I have a sm-g955f with a null IMEI (00000000) that is sitting in my drawer for a month now. Be good to revive the sucker. Did you also have a DRK issue?

Hi! Does anybody know how to make EFS backup for Samsung G950U without root?
Thanks
Hi!
I have an S8 G950N from Korea. It had been rooted. I want to go back to stock without root then i flashed the original stock firmware, but it showed me that the the device does not have DRK and not boot. After that i had flashed the CF_Root then it boot normally.
Can u tell me how to fix that DRK missing?
(sorry for my poor English )
I have an S7 (SM-G930F) that I'd rooted using the chainfire method. All was good, but I unchecked oem unlock in developer settings without realising that it would put me into a FRP bootloop. :crying:
I've been reading around, but not getting very far - just want to get my data recovered. So far I've tried using Odin to flash the AP (just took the AP file out of the tar) of a stock ROM. This kind of allows the phone to boot now, however I get a message saying "Encryption failed. Unable to start up your device. The encryption process was interrupted. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data."
Ideally I would like to gain access to my data. I'm able to boot into the default recovery, but can't flash twrp because its still FRP locked. All I can do is adb sideload - so if there's something I can use to at least transfer files to an sd card?
Help, ideas most welcome.

When facing frp lock, hard reset (reflash stock, all files) is your only friend. Sad to say i dont think you can recover your data anymore, not unless you utilize samsung's autobackup feature using samsung cloud. (Or titanium backup with its cloud feature).

Sad, but I think that's what I expected to hear. I've gone ahead and reflashed stock.

I have the same but can't flash. Odin3 can't write to the phone. I thought it had to do with the FRP lock but something else is going on.

Is that the modified Odin? What does it say when you try and flash?
