S7 Root Help (Using Odin) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey guys, I'm not particularly advanced in any sort of way with rooting devices, and I've followed all of the appropriate steps to achieve a rooted device but I'm sort of stuck.
I'm using Odin. I've tried Odin 10, 11.1, and 12.3. I turned Developer Mode on on the phone, activated USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking. I downloaded Odin and the herolte tar md5 file, added the file to the AP section in odin, checked the auto reboot and F. reset time boxes, connected my device and hit "Start." Two things happen: It either runs through the steps and end up with a red "FAIL", or it just gets stuck at Setup connection. I have tried 3 different versions of Odin, and yes, my phone OS is fully updated. So what gives? Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it. Been trying to root my phone for hours now and no luck. I've tried to use a bunch of other help guides but Im either not advanced enough or I've had no luck. Thank you!

Help with a soft brick GT-P5113

I've searched for nearly 12 hours and tried several methods, but since this is an older device a lot of threads and links are dead. I was hoping someone could give me advice here, and I did use the search but to no avail.
The situation is I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113) and it's stuck on the logo and the sound it boots up cuts out half way (wondering if it's a hardware issue). I can boot into Download Mode and I have the drivers for it on my computer. The problem I'm having is USB Debug wasn't enabled. Is there a way I can flash through Odin3 and which version should I use? This device isn't rooted either. Any help or advice would ease my mind.

download a copy of your device stock firmware, if you already have it, flash it with odin, there is no specific version of odin, it works on all as long as your device gets connected and shows in odin you are fine.
regarding the hardware issue, it might be or it might be not, you can only be sure after successfully flashing a stock firmware file.
it won't need any USB Debug option for flashing stock firmware so you are safe to flash.
If odin does not work you may try going to the recovery and perform a factory reset and delete cache

Need assistance installing TWRP on ODIN or ADB ?

My Device samsung galaxy note edge SM-N915V (Verizon) is stuck in a bootloop, I cant get into settings to enable USB debugging so i guess the ADB install of TWRP is out( when i run the commands it just says device Null not found) What i need is a way to install TWRP through ODIN but I can't seem to get Odin AP tab to detect the IMG file for TWRP. It fails every time. I tried converting the file to a .tar.md5 with a script i found on the forums but it continues to fail no matter what I do ( switching USB ports, entering and exiting download mode etc) I am able to flash the original firmware from the phone from sammobile so I know I'm doing that at least correctly and using Odin properly but it's not fixing the boot loop issue. I was lead to believe that TWRP could be a solution to my issue by a helpful member here but he didn't tell me exactly how to use TWRP and this is above my skill level. I was lead to believe that TWRP was the direction I needed to go in but im not having much luck figuring it out on my own. Can someone guide me in the correct direction? Sorry if this is not the right place to be asking this. I'm rather new here.

[Q] FRP lock help--j700T Marshmallow

Hello,
I wonder if someone would help me FRP unlock my phone. It is a T-mobile sm-J700t 2015. I have searched the forum but don't see a clear answer.
I have tried (from Youtube) the USB cable method, the camera method and flashing the 10/2016 stock firmware through ODIN. In Odin I get an error: "Complete(Write) operation failed". I cannot turn on USB debugging of course because I cannot get into the device. Haven't tried updating with Kies yet because I'm nervous they'll patch any additional back doors I could try.
I am somewhat experienced at flashing and such and I think there must be a way to completely wipe the device and flash new firmware but I don't see instructions for that.
Thanks in advance!
Odin v3.10.7 & v3.12.3
Recovery: Haven't changed
USB installed from Samsung Kies (made sure Kies isn't running)

Anyone? Still locked out of my phone. :crying:
Reboot normaly > go to settings > developer setting > oem unlock check yes
#gggirlgeek
Reboot normaly > go to settings > developer setting > oem unlock > check yes
I can't get into the phone at all. It is FRP (Google) locked because I did a factory reset from recovery. I can only manipulate it from PC or stock recovery. I have ADB, Odin and Samsung Kies on my PC if that helps.
What is the reason I am getting the ODIN error: "Complete(Write) operation failed"? Is it due to the FRP lock?
If not, would flashing the same stock firmware even help? (I have read that it's not possible to flash older firmware versions.)
Is the boot partition where the FRP status is stored? Is it possible to flash a new boot image to reset it?
I assume flashing a custom recovery would be useless? I doubt it could be done without USB debugging/ADB being enabled anyway.
One of the reason for that odin error is flashing an old build of stock ROM, your guess is right
Even if you are able to flash a stock FW via ODIN you'll still not be able to boot to your OS.
You have to login using the same google id that was previously logged in
OR you have to bypass the Google Account Login Screen.
There are varous method on youtube (i know you saw them) to bypass that screen (Side Sync method worked for me at the 10th attempt) inorder to install a 3rd party app either to
1. enable the developer option or enable OEM unlock ( to flash custom ROM or custom recovery)
OR
2. to overwrite the previous google account saved with your new account details. (THIS ONE HELPED ME)
WITH FRP LOCK ON, ODIN SHOULD NOT GIVE YOU ERROR ONLY IF YOU ARE FLASHING STOCK ROM. BUT STILL YOU WILL BE LOCKED WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNT LOGIN SCREEN BECAUSE OF FRP LOCK ON AND STOCK ROM
FRP info. is saved in Sboot. Flashing a new sboot works only for devices those were never upgraded to Android 6. For J7 2015 that was upgraded to android 6, flashing Sboot bricks the phone as said by a cell phone repair agent
Regards,
Sid
@saddam.khan999 : Thank you so much for replying. This is helpful. :highfive:
What did you do to get the sidesync to work? Mine wouldn't even connect to Sidesync on my PC.
Tried different USB ports, and even different PC's to get it to pop up on the phone. Tried old usb drivers too. Sidesync never senses it, and My Computer only show MTP folder that won't accept any file pasted to it.
You did this with Android 6.0.1 October 2016 update? They fix more holes every time.
Also, can you give me the link to the unlock tutorial you used with Sidesync? Just want to compare my method.

I tired two different tutorials of SideSync to crack it. Once I reach home in the next 10 hours from now. I'll search on youtube and give u the links. Right now I cannot remember it.

I followed below step to fix popup issue
1. Uninstall all samsung apps like, Kies, SmartSwitch, SideSync everything.
2. Uninstall Samsung USB drivers
3. Install SmartSwicth (to get best drivers)
4. Now install SideSync (latest)
5. Open SideSync and check for OTA updates in your PC (update it if available)
I give up. I'm going to pay somebody. He can use one of those low-level programs to unlock it remotely. It only costs $15. Well worth it. Wish me luck!

Not so simple.
During FRP Lock you are restricted to the google sign in page, locked out of everything else. Cannot even pull down the status bar. So no way to get to settings.
This can be done via ADB , but only if you had USB Debugging enabled prior.
I just obtained a used J7000T1 and FRP lock is activated , Even on the bootloader it displays "FRP Locked" . USB Debugging was never enabled .
If I find a way , I'll post. Any one have luck yet?
Once " FRP Locked " is off the bootloader, I'm sure we can just load a recovery / rom via Odin .... But that's where I am a stuck of course.

I had this happen last Feb when I got the phone and was trying to install twrp, and it says frp lock when I tried flashing the recovery tar via odin. I literally took out the battery rebooted back into the OS and turned on oem unlock and USB Debugging and it was fine then when I flashed twrp. I have never heard of this other issue u speak of. The phone has an unlocked bootloader to begin with. If u are stuck in a Google sign in page, I would download the Samsung z3 tool and make sure u have drivers installed and unlock the frp that way.it does have an option for frp lock

Thanks.
Drivers are installed.
Just cannot move from the google sign in.
There is a guide that shows how to use a USB drive with a shortcut apk on it , hooked up via OTG and is able to open settings. Although that did not work for me as well...
Maybe N version is different than MM ?
Almost the same problem here.....but in my j700f, I can't boot to recovery at all...can't flash stock firmware also due frp locked

Problem Flashing my phone

Since i can't post in the roms, kernals, etc I'll do it here. I hope the mods don't delete my post lol.
So my Galaxy S8+ (6955U) is rooted but I am trying to flash stock firmware onto it using Odin. Every time I am stuck on "File Analysis".
Here's everything I have tried:
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode and XP SP3 compatibility (i'm on w10 x64)
3) Re-partition checked/unchecked
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
I've also tried using "adb reboot download" using adb to put it into download mode manually. when this happens, it goes from file analysis to "SetupConnection" but then it fails.
Please help me, I have been at this for about 4 hours and can't find anything online.
what odin are you using.
I got it thanks I don't know how to delete the thread lol

Bricked S6

Hei guys, I'm having an issue with my S6. I tried to root it, using CF-Autoroot, but i had 7.0.1 and it didn't worked. Then I thought, how about a downgrade to a 6.0.1, this should work. However, I forgot to check the "OEM unlock" and the only option I had on was USB debugging. What I tried until now :
-adb doesn't see my device, i tried 3 types of drivers and 2 USB's
-ODIN sees the device, but it fails to write every boot image
-recovery mode is gone, I haven't flashed anything else
- SmartSwitch /Kies throws an invalid IMEI, even though I'm getting that from the list of devices added to my Google account
Only thing that's left is the Download mode. I'm a newb when it comes to flashing devices, don't be harsh on me Thanks in advance for the people helping!
