SM-G550T BRICKED - STUCK ON SPLASH "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock"

My rooted Samsung Galaxy On5 (sm-g550t) is stuck on the black and white SAMSUNG logo boot screen, up at the top left in red is the message : "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
I cannot boot into recovery at all, but I CAN boot into download mode, and when connect it to a PC where Odin can "see" it. So that's good I guess.
Things I have tried so far:
1. Reflashing TWRP - FAIL IN ODIN (it worked before!)
2. Downloading new recovery from here and flashing in ODIN. FAIL IN ODIN (https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/on5ltetmo_SM-G550T/G550TUVU1APF1/)
3. Recovery in KIES (does not accept my s/n and model combo)
This happened after I tried to partition the drive for use with the Marshmallow "adoptable storage" using directions from this web page.
http://www.modaco.com/news/android/...e-adoptable-storage-on-your-s7-s7-edge-r1632/
I DID do an nandroid backup before all of this happened, but without recovery mode it won't do me much good.
1. Any suggestions. 2. does anyone have the stock firmware tar that I can flash in odin to see if it works? Sammobile does not have firmware for the SM-G550t, sadly.
I really need your help. I can't find anything anywhere that has worked.

I figured it out. Thanks for the offer. I'll posting to the solution.

please i need your help on the same matter can u help me???

Hi Friends,
Can you share the SM-G550T firmware link to me.
Thx

Yo, I got you. Watch my youtube tutorial on how to fix this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Yy0f6qtHA&t=4s
I also included all necessary files (yes, including the firmware files that aren't available yet in sammobile)

There aren't any files linked, the link is dead and it seems to be a spam shortening service.

Go to Sammobile .com or samsung-updates. com and use your model number to find your stock firmware, download the one for your region/carrier and flash it using Odin on PC.

2 questions:
i read that Odin requires .md5 or .tar - are these roms which are found within the zip files .md5 or .tar?
i only see Stock ROMS from Thailand or China - does this matter?

Usually the stock .tar firmwares are uploaded as a .zip to make the file smaller, extract it and you should have a .tar.md5 or a .tar, if it's .tar then you may have to extract that also to get to the .tar.md5.
Yes, typically the region matters due to differences in networks in each region.

Missing Fingerprint Option

since moving to Nougat i have lost the option to setup fingerprint. i have even tried flashing stock rom back to MM but still lost the function - it is showing in my apps, but with 0 bytes of data.
not sure what has happened there. phone is rooted with PHH superuser and magisk - but i had no issues up til i updated to N, any ideas on how to get this back?

With your original Firmware FTF (stock region), open 0:25 select all wipe options (for Sin and Misc TA)..
Do NOT flash patched kernel after flashing ftf, boot-up for first usage.. Fingerprint should work..

Will this procedure clear data? Factory reset?

Can someone please confirm if this clears existing data? I thought Odin doesn't work in this case because of the locked bootloaded on Verizon?

Yes, it probably will. If you are that worried about it, backup your data first. Odin will work even with the bootloader locked. Locked bootloader does not prevent you from loading official firmware.

What app can we use to back up all data like apps sceen layout ect... since we don't have root on Verizon, I know we can't use titanium back up because we don't have root bit is their a similar app to do what that does

Not sure you'll be able to preserve that. I was referring to user data, not system data.

Helium or My Backup Pro, but they are limited without root, which means some data can be restored, but not all.

I extract and I get several files? None of them being .tar files. Does anyone have the 4 files to flash in odin? Am I the only one who didn't get the 4 files mentioned when extracting the Md5? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody?

You have to go in odin and select PDA and then add the entire md5 file! If you don't want to do it that way, then you have to download a zipping app like 7z or similar and create the .tar yourself.. Which is pointless unless you're planning on flashing 1 file like the boot.img for a reason or other.. The md5 file has all of the files that need to be flashed there's no need to unzip the files. Just flash as is!
If you're downloading from the OP then you need to unzip the file from the .zip because you can only flash .md5 or .tar.

Try flashing a modem only file then which is for that signal.. Also boot into recovery using the 3 button combo and clear your Cache after a flash..

I've cleared it after flash and no fix. Does anyone have a modem file I could use. Does it have to be from the same firmware version? Sorry just not really experienced just need to fix this phone it's killing me. I got it off Craigslist don't know the history of it I just know that flashing a fresh stock rom didn't fix the issue.

Is it an actual Verizon phone? And do you know for sure that it's Verizon? Go into settings then about phone and tell me what model it says. If it says other than SM-N920V then it's not a Verizon one.. You can only flash firmware for a specific carrier.. Also check the APN settings too.. And about the modem no you don't have to use the same exact one from the same firmware version you can try a different one however I don't think that'll fix the problem.. Try checking the APN settings first.. Also if you just dropped a sim card into it without first giving Verizon the IMEI then it's not gonna work! You'll have to give them the IMEI and if the IMEI is bad the phone will never work at least not with Verizon.

It is indeed n920v clean imei through verizon prepaid. It gets apn through SIM card which is accurate I have signal T all times and internet/mms work. However when I boot my phone or randomly every so often it will say 'searching for service' throughout the day while still full having signal. During this time I don't receive calls/messages/internet notifications and it is stuck that way until I notice it and dial my voicemail which it then displays "Verizon wireless" and then all notifications come through.

Maybe try using this downgraded version from my Android File Host and flash it using odin but before flashing take the sim card out and after it's done flashing immediately do a factory reset by holding the power and volume down button and after the screen turns off and then back on select shut down and then boot into recovery and do the factory reset after it's finished put the sim card back in then turn it on and go through all the setup and see if it works.. Let the phone charge some first don't try doing this at 3% battery cause if it shuts down in the middle it can brick the phone. Not likely but it could.

[EFS corruptes] S8+ G955F

Hello dear users,
I`m facing a very big problem with my g955f. For a while i had 7.0 on my device but yesterday i decided i should update to 8.0. I flashed the latest 8.0 stock (BL, AP, CP, CSC) from sammobile and everything worked great. Problem appeared when i tried to install supersu and it got into a bootloop. I flashed again 8.0, this time without BL because i've got the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIN(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1". After device booted up there was NO IMEI...s'o i think something happened with efs partition. Then i tried a fix from another thread and now i get "efs mount failed (invalid argument) after i flash a rom and the phone restarts".
I know i know, i should have made a backup...
The question is, does anybody know how to solve this problem ? Maybe from where to get an efs dump (even with IMEI 000....)
sorry, my english may not be so good
Thank you !

there is only way to get imei back is Z3X box if someone on mobile shop have it otherwise you need to send it to service centre with your recipe & mobile box.

maybe you`re luckier than me and your efs partition is just corrupted not deleted and combination file will fix it

It does boot up, but it doesn´t give signal and when i look up in settings for the imei it says unkwon. How can i be shure that the efs partition is deleted?

Oreo comes with U2 version of bootloader. This means you can`t use combination files that have been made for 7.0 bootloader (U1). Yesterday i found a combination file for U2 version. I'll share the link with you but right now i'm at work and i don`t find that link. When i'll be at home(8hours) i'll post the link here(i saved it in bookmarks). Chances for recovering your imei are very high i think. Until then please don't make something stupid with your phone like i did....
LE: if the phone is booting up then i think your efs is just corrupted

Yeah....i`m desperate too....i messed up an expensive and a high end phone.....but that's it....we're learning from our own mistakes ). I think that is the file i'm saying (check if it has "U2" in its name). Download it, flash it with odin (put the file in AP), wait until the flashing process is done and that "gears screen" is on, and wait. After that flash the stock 8.0 oreo and the imei should be back. Hope this helps you. I can't give you an exact method to see if efs is corrupted or deleted.....like you i'm a newbie with all this architecture of android...

I used the combination file and show me the imei so i think it was just corrupted. But when i try to flash stock in odyn https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444 this version, it says device 2 binarie 1 error. So flash without check BL. But then the device doesnt boot and gets stuck in first screen. What can i do?

There`s nothing you can do. Your only option is to stay with 8.0. You can't downgrade the bootloader from U2 or U1 because U2 security policies seems to not be ok with this ). I left my device at a service twenty minutes ago to reflash an efs dump from another 955f....hope they will make it.... anyway, congrats for reviving your device

This message means that your actual bootloader version is newer than the one you want to flash and because security policies you can`t flash an older version. You'll have to flash latest stock 8.0 (bl,ap,cp,csc).

I would assume it's in the kernel or something. Make sure there aren't any extra partitions. It shouldn't have done any hardware damage. It has to be something not set straight in Odin. There are only a select number of partitions actually touched by Odin.
So one would need to find out what other partitions get touched or modded. I have restored before Kali and had a bunch of partition errors I assume was due to locked bootloader but even after restore still had those errors. Eventually a total format and restore cleared them. But your unlocked bl and modifiable kernel makes it different than my case

I made a pit file and flashed this pit through odin. But no change, I think pit file does re-partition in phone. Any other way to totally clear all of the partitions and reinstall all of the drivers including touch drivers ?

You tried andrax instead installs on top of android as a normal app needs unlocked bootloader and root to full work but has all the same tools as kali nearly and few it doesn't

Nethunter and Andrax need custom kernel to suppot monitor mode usb wifi card, someone know what kernel i should use for that for G950f? I really need it but dont have PCto compile it myself, please if someone have kernel with a drivers for rtl8812au for s8. Thank you

Any way to install either andrax or nethunter on a S9 g960u rooted locked bootloader?
Having some issues with andrax, just wants to keep installing things on my phone. this is my first time using it.

It always has to install stuff it's downloading all the Linux apps , or you can install termux and so it via that too
