So i bought a used s6 sm920f internation version with android 6.0.1 and a samsung acount lock. The guy on ebay said he bought it and the guy he bought it from won't help hom, so he sells it now.
Because it was cheap and I often flashed some phones I thought it would be easy to bypass. But I haven't found a way even after houndret tutorials, so I wanted to flash a stock firmware through odin, but when I started the download and failed with the message: " fail device: 3 binary: 2" and I don't know what to do now. It was a 5.1.1 rom and I checked the drivers and it was recognized as Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device and as com4 or com3 in odin.
I can enter the recovery and download mode.
How can i get th device working normal now. I don't care if I have to install a custom rom and not a stock rom, just anything that works!
Thanks in advise!

Sorry. Did it show reactivation lockn in download mode?.
Edit: Again sorry. As the title say it is.
You need to find the last firmware the phone on. That's an issue because you'll never know without booting into android. Have tried smart switch?.

Message "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device."
I have got a Samsung S6 SM-G920P Sprint with FRP Lock.
I thought that I smart enough to unlock it using few very simple guides online.
The method is very simple - using OTG connecting a flash drive with downloaded app to a phone and then file manager will pop up, then just run app. The app basically just letting you get to phone settings where it will let to reset the phone and remove FRP Lock
Problem is that file manager wont automatically launch when i plug it in and so as far I understand the method doesn't work for most or all owners of Galaxy S6 and Note 5. I wonder if the file manager wont pop up after latest update or it was that way originaly? If it happened after update is there any way to flash earlier version? I tried ODIN to flash stock ROM but it fails and I am getting message SW REW. CHECK FAIL DEVICE: 3 BINARY: 2
I did restore to factory few times, last time - using Smart Switch. The phone has official Rom, not rooted
Am I screwed? Or is there any other way to bypass activation to get to settings, other way remove FRP Lock?
Thank you!

The older the better. Newest security updates are what stops it from working so in your case it should work. If not try flashing newer firmware.

The bootloaders and modems that are provided in the OP are for G930F; the ROM itself will work on your device variant.

Use smartswitch emergency recovery , samsung have put in place some issues with the Bootloader, moreso if you're on a newer bootloader then you cannot install a firmware which has a lower bootloader

Hey, so I have the bootloader problem too and I think we have to wait for the nougat update for the type of phone you have. I have a galaxy s6 tmobile so I think I have to get nougat and flash that when it comes out for tmobile. You have to do the same I think but for now Im gonna send it to samsung and act dumb. Hopefully maybe they fix it and send it back. Do you think they will accept my phone though? It was rooted and had nemesis rom. for nougat port from s7 edge. Also current binary is: Samsung Official. System Status is: Custom. They can see knox is tripped since the counter is void: 1.

Hey, it depends if you have warranty on the phone or not. If you have warranty, it will not cover your expenses because it's void after unlocking bootloader and rooting. If you don't have warranty and you are paying them anyways, they should have no trouble accepting it. Who would deny taking money. I hope they can fix it for you and I'm sorry we couldn't figure out how to. What you said about Nougat is true. I have checked that information as well. There is no Nougat for TMobile yet. We just have to wait. Again, in the mean time if I fix it, I will post my solution here.

Try the first one from the top from here http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm+g920t&exact=1
with Odin v3.12.3
My Fried gave this phone to me (SM-N915G) which is stuck at Powered by Android, and told me to fix it.
He said that when he update to MM from LP without KIES or Odin, the phone suddenly restarted and stuck there getting HOT
He had no experiece to repair it so he asked me to fix it.
So for 3 days lately, i have tried many ways to fix it but wihout any progress, as follow :
1. Flashing Official MM wby using Odin -> still stuck
2. Downgrading Flash Official LP using Odin -> still stuck
3. Installed TWRP, and flasing CFW Micky387_MM_V3.0 for 915F/FY/G (flashing Bootloader and modem as required) -> still stuck with set warranty bit : kernel
4. After Flashing Micky CFW and Failde, i try to flash Emotion Kernel -> still stuck with Kernel is Seandroid Enforcing
5. Redoing Flash Micky CFW with other CSC -> Still Stuck (even i tried with 915F and 915FY as in the aroma installer)
6. Never failed during flash procedure with Odin or TWRP, everything is smooth
7. When stuck, the device is getting Hot slowly but and when left as long as 15 minutes, the HH is getting HOT (TWRP read 72 degree at most)
**Update
8. Tried using Official SmartSwitch sucessfully but the result is still the same -> Still Stuck and getting hot as usual T.T
Last Download Mode status is :
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product name: SM-N915G
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox warranty void: 0x1 (2)
Quallcomm secureboot : Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC START
I am now thinking, should i flash another Kernel or PIT or Bootloader? but i still cant decide what to do next to revive this Phone
Please help, any suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Please give some help, thank you.

I can tell you that Kies and NOT Kies 3 was what worked for me when I downloaded/installed Marshmallow from Samsung's website.

I'm going to guess that you've tried installing MM using Kies directly from Sammobile?
If so,have you tried turning off your computer's antivirus when you download/install?
It sounds like the bootloader is looking for something and can't find it.....kind of like what happened to me when I totally ripped KNOX out of my phone.
Restore time!
Good thing I did CWM backups.
In your case,your computer's anti virus could be seeing something in the download and ripping it out.
I've seen my browsers do that when I download stuff....pain in the....
Have you tried a different battery?
Maybe a search of the forums to see if anyone else has had this problem and solved it?
I kind of remember seeing something like this a while back.

Thank you for the response,
I was using KIES 2.64 that downloaded from Samsung website to fix the phone as your suggestion (tools->firmware upgrade and initialisation) but still fail to fix it.
Nope, the antivirus still active when KIES download the FW and Flash it into the phone, but it is new to me that antivirus will intercept ongoing dowloaded files, if so i think the antivirus will give some notification or warning about the content of the file that being downloaded and in my case, my antivirus is still cool and no notification whatsoever.
The bad thing is i do not have any cwm backup and since this is my friend phone and not mine, well... we dont have any backup for this phone.
Regarding the battery, i admit that i havent try other battery, since i dont see any connecton between it, in my opinion, the phone works well, the charging animation working, and no sign of weak battery... but i will try to do it if i can get some other battery
I have surfed many forums and websites, but almost 90% can be fixed with simple flashing from odin or just by clearing up cache and data from recovery.
Other that that, wither, no one respond to the problem, or just some discussion without conclusion, really frustrating.
I even go further to read about android booting sequence to identify whats wrong with the boot sequence, but still confused...
But i have some question if you would to answer :
1 . Stuck at Android logo, bootloader or kernel problem?
2 . Is it possible that one of the mainboard chip that have some part in booting process is malfunctioning? But if so, the phone will be dead bricked right?
3. How about the booting process is halted due some hardware failure? ex : some chip (other than chip that have part in booting process) is bad and so the bootloader init is halted
4. The Worst guess, is it possible that the phone is fake? (the serial number behind the baterry is accepted by kies though)
Thank you very much, you are the only one who still response to my problem. :good:
As it seems you use the wrong Bootlaoder. Is his phone N915P or N915G? When you flash N915G Bootloader to N915P, it will not boot but the bootloader will work correctly. Try to flash the N915P bootloader.
I have N915FY phone but did not know first if I had N915F or FY. I flashed the N915F bootloader version, which flashed successfully, but was not booting. Bootloader said that my phones model is N915F. After flashing the FY Bootloader version, it successfully booted to system.

Thank you for the Response,
First, his phone is N915G (according to the box and the information in the battery compartment)
(Really sorry for the mistake i made at the thread title)
And regarding bootloader, that is also my concern at first, i think maybe i was flasing wrong region and bootloader, and so i search the way to find out the real version of the phone, but after trying many ways described on the net (by imei or serial number) , i still cannot found out the way.
But one instance when i try using KIES, and KIES asked for the version and serial number when device upgrade and initialisation, i entered the exact version and serial number that is found behind the phone in battery compartment. KIES immediately confirms that the version and serial number is valid, (i still wonder though, is KIES check it online at Samsung server or there are some serial number database embedded in the KIES) and continue to run trough the official fw download and installation by KIES but at the end still no success.
Is it possible that the version and serial number is wrong ? if so, how to determine the correct one?
and is it safe to try flasing another bootloader?
Thank you very much
Hello, there is no bootloader related to serial number or something. There are different bootloaders for different models and android version. When you flash MM-Version, you need to be sure that you use the right bootloader and baseband files for MM. If you flash different region-locked firmware/bootloader, it will not affect btw. not solve the boot-stuck problem.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N915G Try to flash 6.0.1 firmware that is related to your region if you still want to try to flash different region-firmware.
Maybe download the XSA 6.0.1 Firmware with the pit file XSA http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=15892.
Then flash XSA 6.0.1 and TBLTE_SEA_XSA.pit together in odin. Under Odin 3 V3.12 ticke the re-partition at option-tab and select TBLTE_SEA_XSA.pit under pit-tab.

Thanks for the reply!
Although there is no bootloader related to serial number, but if we put the serial number in KIES, it will identify what CSC and region, which can be use as a guide to choose the correct FW or let KIES do the Flashing according to the inputted serial number, and as long as the serial number is correct one, that is my opinion but please CMIIW.
When flashing MM, if i use the MM that has been downloaded, the bootloader and baseband is included in the MM image right? or shouuld i flash it separately?
i have tried your suggestion but with no sucess, i have dowloaded the PIT and the FW, flash it trough odin which was sucess, but still stuck.
I do not tick auto restart at Odin, so i manually restart the phone, but i encounter an event which at 20% installing system update (below the greed droid guy) the progress bar is vanished and replaced with erasing, and after that the phone stuck again at the same spot.
Do you have any idea why?
Thank you very much.
Just thinking, should i erase the NAND in ODIN?
If so, how to restore it?
I think that if i backup the NAND using custom recovery and restore it later, it just bring back the same problem, if the NAND causing all this.
Do anyone have some NAND backup that i could use? or any other suggestion?
Thank you
Can you boot to recovery? if yes, try to wipe data and cache.
If it still not working, try to backup your efs with a custom recovery (ex. TWRP), or better the entire System like data, system, boot, efs, modem and save it to your computer.
After saving the backup, try to flash the firmware with pit file while checked NAND erase all.
When its finished and your device boots up, you can flash back your custom recovery and recover only the efs-partition.
If its not working, then there is maybe problems with your eMMC. But be aware using nand erase all. It is the last riskfully option left after trying several things.
I have a backup of my resurrection rom. If you want it I can upload it.
