I flashed a Galaxy S7 Active (ATT) with a TWRP recovery image that I built. To my dismay, when I rebooted I got: "Custom binary blocked by SECURE BOOT (recovery.img)"
This is different from the OEM lock in the developer menu since that has been turned on.
Is there any way around this, short of obtaining the private key from ATT?

Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I
Version Lollipop 5.1.1
Long story - My S6 suddenly died. When I tried to turn it on, it would turn on with the logo screen " Samsung Galaxy S6" and freeze right there and then after probably 30 seconds it goes black and then the logo again; forever and ever until the battery goes flat. Doing the physical button combinations did not work. FLASHING STOCK ROM DOES NOT WORK EITHER(and yes I did check that it is the right ROM) I'm able to go into download mode but the thing is:
Since my phone died SUDDENLY:
- DEVELOPER OPTIONS IS NOT TURNED ON
USB Debugging shouldn't have been on.
-I don't know but something to do with turning off OEM unlocking? and/or any other knox or something that blocks rooting, installing recovery etc.
Because of this, when I tried installing TWRP recovery or SpaceX kernel, it says "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
Tried searching up Google but only came with one English post and did not get much info out of it. The rest were about FRP etc and the way they had it was different from mine.
So now my phone is stuck. Any help? I don't mind voiding my warranty so go ahead with crazy methods that might work.
TL;DR
S6 suddenly dies, frozen at logo screen. Developer options is not enabled> USB DEBUGGING not enabled. Flashing STOCK ROM doesn't work. No recovery. Installing TWRP or SPACEX KERNEL is "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
Any help?
***EDIT***
DOWNLOAD MODE DOES WORK***

Seriously... No one is helping...
I bricked/bootlooped my phone.
I've been using Superman ROM v2.4.1 for a while, but recently my Snapchat stopped working and I couldn't pass the SafetyNet, so I tried to fix it.
I turned off my developer options, and downloaded this App: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2524485
My phone warned me this App might be harmful but I ignored it, and then changed the setting to permissive and then enfordcing a couple times. Then I rebooted my device, now it is stuck in a loop. It doesnt go beyond the 'Samsung Galaxy S7" logo and just turns off after that.
I cannot boot into recovery either, only download mode.
When i try to boot up or into recovery, it says on the top of the screen in red text "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock".
Can anyone help me? I have a flight in the morning so I really need this fixed. Is this caused by the App I used to change the SELinux Mode? Or is it because Developer options and hence OEM Unlocking is turned off in the settings?
What can I do to fix this?
Cheers
Dear Sir just Flash with stock firmware be sure u are using latest one to revive phone back to life.
thanks
FRP locked and cannot load stock FW
I'm having the same issue as theDroidfanatic, but i cannot flash the stock FW.
I have a Samsung S7 edge, running Superman, i believe marshmallow (i don't recall the exact version).
I accidentally enabled the OEM lock in the phones settings.
On trying to boot normally, I see the superman startup screen, and the FRP message across the top of the screen in red. "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock"
I can only boot into download mode.
Odin (3.12.7 and 3.12.3) can detect the phone being plugged in (so i think this system has the correct drivers, and my cables/ports are good).
I downloaded the latest FW from sammobile.com for the MTA region (its a Canadian MTS phone).
I load all of the files into Oden and everything appears fine. When i try to start the transfer it hangs at SetupConnection. Ah hour later, its still hanging there.
I've tried 2 PCs, and about a dozen USB cables; same result every time.
Its been a while since i played with rom stuff, am i missing something somewhere?

For anyone else having similar issues:
After installing Kies (on Windows 10; which required a Microsoft Virtual C++ pack for Kies to install), Kies installed a different USB driver.
Odin did not show any difference regarding seeing the phone. After the new driver was installed, Odin is now able to flash stock FW.
Did you manage to repair your phone. My note 9 don’t show up on my laptop usb not recognised
I had similar issue when i was trying to install firmware while developer mod was was disabled (in my Note 5). FRP lock was ON, then it got bricked. I gave my phone to a local phone repair shop, they have some technology to bypass FRP lock by using FRP bypass box.
One day, my phone just suddenly froze. Gave it a day to be left alone and it probably ran out of battery. Upon charging and trying to turn it on, it gets in a bootloop. It is NOT even getting past the very first logo at the start. It just shows "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered by android" then freezes there.
I boot it into download mode and was unable to flash ROMs, Recoveries or Kernels. It has Reactivation Lock on!
"Custom Binary blocked by RL"
I gave up after this, but then I came back after months. I want to see if I can bring this phone back to life again. I've recently found this video where it has Odin 3.11 that had an option to disable Reactivation Lock!

I tried flashing TWRP and SpaceX kernel and it worked! It said pass, I saw the download bar in my phone fly across to completion and it did not show Custom Binary blocked by R/L again! Okay so... What now? It's stuck at the very same boot logo freeze. I STILL can't boot into TWRP recovery. I cant do anything. Is it HardBricked? Is it something to do with my EFS or Partition or whatever? Please help.

My phone began lagging last night so I gave it a restart. The shut-down animations were normal but when the phone turned back on, it gave me the dreaded FRP LOCK curse. I went through many forums and videos and I was able to take the lock off via FRP Hijacker, but now I am stuck at the download mode. If I try booting the phone on with the stock recovery, the Samsung Note5 splash screen stays indefinetly (soft brick). If I try booting the phone with a custom recovery, I get a message in purple text saying "Recovery image signature check fail. Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set" and it will keep bootlooping. Currently, I am not sure how to continue if I cannot get to the recovery mode and flash a ROM. So basically, I am stuck at not being able to flash a rom, nor being able to get into recovery mode successfully without a brick or bootloop. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit 1: USB Debugging is turned on as well as OEM Unlock
you need to use odin and downgrade to a stock 6.0 tar file..or use a conversion tar file taking you from n920p to n920f..or n920c ...ill upload the files everyone needs after work today...
I bought an s10e used and after the set up this message appears that I don't have authorization, I tried factory restore, safe mode and I always end it up there. I tried odin but the kg was blocked so I can't flash it.
The message says "phone locked this phone can't be used without authorization(0001)"
Please I really will kill for some
