Hey folks!
A few days ago, i rooted my Samsung Galaxy A5 (Sm-a500fu) with Kingroot, which was no problem.
Yesterday i decided to install TWRP as custum recovery. I downloaded it, and flashed it with Flashify. The really next boot got blocked with the error message: "Custom binary blocked by reactivation lock; secure fail: recovery". The only avaiable thing was download mode.
So I looked for a solution on google and all it was saying was to flash the stock rom again. I tried to flash it with Odin3 but right after the start i got a "FAIL!" in Odin.
Now I don't know what to do because I don't want to lose the data (esp Images) on my phone. I found a solution that could work: Download a "Pit-File", hit the repartition checkbox in odin and then start.
After that, the other problem persists: The reactivation lock is still there
Is anyone able to help me?

Hello,
after rooting my device using Odin my phone just got stucked in recovery mode.
I don't have CWM or TWRP just the stock version.
I can't access download mode and when I tried to install a custom rom it's just writes - E: failed to verify whole-file signature.
I am really stuck and nothing seems to work.
please help me!

I rooted my phone to enter to custom CWM recovery mode via ODIN . Just after i tried to install a zip file "LockscreenEffect_OneHand_GS3_4.3_MK6_v4" (ink effect on the lock screen". It appeared to be installed successfully but when i start my phone again the very first thing i faced is that i was not getting signal coverage any more. "Setting options" stopped working and always throwing as error "unfortunately settings has stopped working". I thought of factory reset it via CWM recovery mode but now nothing is happening and phone has got stuck on the same screen "Samsung Galaxt SIII" pls pls pls pls pls help
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! It sounds as if you may have to reflash stock firmware to restore your phone, but I would recommend you ask your question in the dedicated help forum for your device first, in case someone has a better idea: Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. You will need to register to post there.
Good luck!

So I was going about doing my business, I rooted and flashed a custom XPosed framework build and after that my device got stuck in a TRWP bootloop, it will not go boot into anything but that.
(When rebooting from TRWP it says "No OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?"
And when I try to flash a custom/stock ROM it gives me the error "E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/ROMNAME.zip' "
Details:
Samsung Galaxy J5, SM-500FN, TWRP v2.8.7.0, Odin cannot recognize the phone while in TRWP which is the only possible state and the PC cannot access it's files, I need to use SD cards to get files on it.
Thanks a LOT to anyone helping me.

I'm trying to root my galaxy a8 (sm-a800f), but everytime i flash the CF-auto-root file i would just be greeted with this same message. I'm sure its the correct file, because its the only one out there. Everytime this happens, I just flash the official stock ROM again and everything is fine, I don't even lose my data.
CF-Auto-Root-a8elte-a8eltejv-sma800f.tar is the file im using, and A800FXXU1BPH4_A800FOLB1BPH4_A800FXXU1BPG3_HOME.tar is the stock rom.
I have OEM unlock enabled.
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Some users reported that CF-Auto-root don't work with that firmware. Try other methods like:
