you are in wrong thread this is the forum were you should post your problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
So, I've done this before, and I've never bricked a device until now.
I tried installing a custom rom for my Galaxy S3 on Verizon, but when I restarted, it says this:
System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.
I can't get into clockwork, or any bootloader. Any attempt to do anything brings this screen up.
Now, I can get into the Odin downloader. (Power, volume down and home). But, I can't figure out how to get a Rom to load. This is where I am stuck. I have downloaded a few roms, all stock, but none of them want to be recognized. I have no idea where to go. I've been downloading stuff for 5 hrs and nothing has worked, so now Im going to the forumns. Any help is appreciated.
I have the Verizon i-535 Galaxy SIII.
You did not brick your phone you failed to unlock your bootloader. There are 2 guides in the android dev section for rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
Odin back to stock and next time after rooting make sure to use EZUnlock 1.2 to unlock the bootloader BEFORE loading a ROM
So to keep it simple My Phone was rooted for the longest and after I rooted it I had never turned it off ..until i did .
Now phone is FRP Locked so I cant install a custom recovery or custom anything for that matter
and If i use Odin to flash Stock firmware or Kies Or Smart Switch Phone ends up asking me to install DRK ...
After trying to fix it I just got an S7 but at This point i just want to see if i can still fix it... I have no fear of bricking it so i welcome any help yall can give me. Thank you
Hey guys firstly i want to apologize if i'm on the wrong forum.
I have screwed up and i hope you guys could help.
I have a Samsung S6 that worked perfectly, but i wanted to sell it and buy an S7 and so i have done a "hard" factory reset by pushing Vol up, Home, Power buttons. Turns out i had to do a "soft" factory reset first.
Now when i tried to sell my phone with all parts and documents i have failed!
It turns out that the phone asks for my Samsung ID but obviously i can't remember an ID that i have created more than a year ago that was of no use to me!
I think i still have warranty but that is my last option for something like this, i have not rooted this device it runs on marshmallow.
What can i do to fix it myself?
I haven't tried flashing it with a stock rom simply because i fear that that will trigger KNOX, even though i'm desperate to fix this, i haven't crossed that border of despair.
Guys please help, i'm counting on your replies.
Thank you.
Flashing a stock rom that was made for your phone will NOT trigger knox. You can use samfirm and odin to do it

Thanks for your reply, do you mean from sammobile? Also i do not remember what version if marshmallow i was running, is there a way for me to figure it out now?
Okay i figured out what version of marshmallow i was running simply because i had put updates on automatic so it must be the last 6.0.1
However i do not know anything about samfirm i have used odin before on my s4 like 3 years ago, and i only used it to root my s4.
Could anyone please help me out?
Btw, if i successfully put a stock firmware on it throigh samfirm and odin, will it remove my email? Or is it omly worth a try?
Are you certain that it will not trigger knox?
Okay i tried flashing the same firmware unto my devicd but it seems that i can't flash anything because Reactivation Lock is enabled.
I didn't enable it (at least i don't remember) mayve the marshmallow update enabled Reactivation Lock?
I'm almost at the point of throwing my phone into a wall, it's getting close.
Did you figure it out. I'm in the same boat with my S6 edge
I bought this refurbished from amazon and when i got it it wasnt properly wiped and is frp locked
All i know from trying to use odin to flash it is it fails to flash the device (i got a new usb-c for it) it also looks like it was carrier switched from at&t to t-mobile its on 8.0(which is oreo)
the firmware its showing is G995USQU3CRD4 and i i tried downgrading it and having odin fail getting back to nougat
Ive looked around for the firmware to try to reflash the device but havnt found the current one any help is appriciated as ive neer used odin on any of the main galaxy phones exept a mini remake of the s6 which is the phone ive been using the last few years

If you're trying to downgrade then the only way to is use the rooted combo by jrkruse in the Verizon forums. That way you can actually get into the phone. Using safe strap there's a flashable zip that will remove any Google account tied to the device
