Fix Bricked S7 - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

So I have a S7 I rooted and I had a problem with a ROM so I flashed Stock ROM but then it said a DRK Error. I fixed it flashing TWRP and encryption disabler. But my IMEI was gone so I took in to a service center where they reset it. They reset it and got the same DRK Error so I brought it home to flash TWRP again, but then I realized FRP Lock was on from resetting and now I can't flash any custom binaries and my phone still can't boot. (Situation : No boot, No IMEI, No Custom Binary Flashing, Yes Recovery and Download mode access) What can I do?

Want to unlock my bootloader + installing TWRP

Hello all,
I am receiving tomorrow my new Samsung S6 and i want to know some things.
- Unlocking bootloader (how to and link?) - have searched a bit and you need ODIN. but what is the best version etc
- Installing TWRP3.0 (how-to) - where to find the latest TWRP for samsung s6
And than one of the most important question, is there a stock android that doesent have any buys and fc's????
Bootloader is not locked on S6 (except AT&T variant)
You can get latest ODIN from here;
http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
If you want to install TWRP on it;
1- Update it to Marsmallow if you haven't
2- Install this TWRP via ODIN;
http://arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
3- Boot up to TWRP and flash this ZIP before do anything on TWRP;

Wouldn't this order make more sense so he had a backup in case something goes wrong?
Also, here are the threads for TWRP and SuperSU for the S6 on XDA:

No, and there probably won't be any for a long time, but there are lots of TouchWiz-based custom ROMs.
so basicly i dont need any customezation? because you telling me there will not be released a custom stock rom? Even a CM13 rom
thats poor services!

Correct. The only custom ROMs availability now and the foreseeable future are based on TouchWiz, not AOSP Android or CyanogenMod.

He need dm-verity disabled boot image for working TWRP backups. That's why I suggest him to install this ZIP.
While reading topics on the internet (google)
If you THE smartphone update to 6.0 you do not need to unlock the bootloader. is this correct?
For now i will not use TWRP because there isent a proper ROM for the S6. is this because the exynoss CPU? because QSD cpu's have always the better support for CM..

As I said before, there's no bootloader unlock because bootloader is factory-unlocked on Samsung devices.
If you want root, you should to use TWRP for install the latest SuperSU.
Yes, there's no CM ROM for Exynos 7420 right now. Maybe in future? Who knows...
is there a twrp that works because the original twrp that i download form twrp.me isent working getting a weird issue: recovery is not seandroid enforcing

i tried to install it, used the AP method in Odin.
But when i want to go in TWRP recovery i get the stock recovery! How to solve this issue
I'm having this issue as well on the T-Mobile variant. I have tried the unchecking auto reboot option in Odin and manually going to recovery. When I successfully flash according to Odin, I can't not get past the Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing boot.

Dear Friend,
I used smart switch which didn't fixed my problem. I also downloaded latest firmware from sammobile and flashed with odin but this method also failed to fix my problem.

HELP!! Custom Binary Blocked by FRP

Hi

Before you ask me
The phone's model is G955-F (it is network locked to 3IE)
I have tried to restore using smasung smart switch it gives me the same error
I have tried used odin to restore the stock firmware which was in device before.

That's probably because you hadn't unlocked your bootloader. The Odin restore method will work, I have done it myself, make sure you select all of the files required in Odin. Sammobile have the 3IE firmware, get version G955FXXU1AQDD

This could sound like a really dumb suggestion but remove your google account and retry. Could it be the factory reset protection?
Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
I returned it, will be getting a refund and will buy another one
I have the exact same problem with my SM-G955F
It has FRP lock on it
It originally could boot up, but then the google screen would ask for a password
I then went to try and flash TWRP on it which did not work
I then tryed to install the samsung stock firmware for android 8.0.0 which brings up "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock"
I dont know the password, so could not enter one
I only have access to the Download screen on the phone
Flashed AP "AP_G955FXXU1CRB7_CL12993656_QB17006520_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5"
ON PHONE SCREEN IN DOWNLOAD MODE: KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:11, BINARY:1
What can i do to remedy this ?

Can I flash TWRP backup through ODIN?

I got the "custom binary boot blocked by frp lock" issue so I gotta reflash the stock firmware, which I should have since I did a full TWRP backup so if I convert my twrp backup in to a flashable zip will i be able to flash it through ODIN? (obviously i cant do it through TWRP Recov since I can only access download mode)
I can get the stock firmware from sammobile.com but its going to take like 4h+ to download and I dont have time for that

Had the same issue. Rookie mistake. I accidentally left the developer option OEM unlock disabled and viola! Had to do a reset. Also, if you had any fingerprints while using the Rom you used, You might come into issues when resetting using Odin. You might have to format your internal memory using TWRP. Im not saying its something slcertain. I just had to. The only firmware I had available was a 6.0.1 MM stock Rom and I came into issues when unlocking the phone. Remember, this was a full reinstall in Odin and the screen was locked. When I unlocked the screen it would just reboot. So, lesson learned. Make sure if you go and root your phone again never ever, ever, ever disable that option in developer.
But try it. You can follow the steps from the root guide for nougat in the threads and go up until the step where you install TWRP. Boot into TWRP and see if you can restore the backup. Chances are it might work without having to do the extra steps like reinstalling the stock firmware. If that doesn't work and you run into issues in TWRP you might need to reinstall everything from scratch again.
Thanks! Already figured it out ?
please explain

my note 5 is at custom binary blocked by frp lock. i think I also turned off the option of oem unlock in developers option by mistake.
I have twrp back up on pc only. please help me how to unbrick the phone now.
Unfortunately the TWRP back is no help ):
However if you have the stock full system image you can just flash that through ODIN and then re-root? easy fix.
Look for the image here in XDA I've seen it
Sir i have note 5 with csc n920pvps3bpk1 shows in phone aftar dialing *#1234# but on the box of this cell phone is printed as n920fvps3bpk1 and n9200 will u plz tell me which csc is correct and i want to upgrade it to 7.0 and its knox waranty has voided.
