Please help!! - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I dont know anythinabout rooted phones. I have samsung galaxy j7oot but it is now through cricket wireless... some how i bricked the phone, i guess the previous owner had it rooted. It says (custom binary blocked by frp lock) in red at the top left of the screen and i dont know how to fix it. Pleas3 someone anyone help me! I need my phone for the baby sitter and work and i cant afford to by a new one at the moment! Im desperate!

Can you return it to the person you bought it from? Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like there's any easy way to fix it. Sorry.
By the way, in any internet forum, it's helpful and courteous to use an informative subject line. That way, people can scan the subject lines to see which topics they're interested in following or contributing to, and can find their way back to a thread they're interested in. You'll also get more helpful responses if you do that.
Good luck.

Fix Brick
First you should post in the S7 group, rhis us showing up in the S8 group...
You have probably lost everything on the phone, but may be able to fix it still...
You will need to find the stock ROM for your phone. It should be posted in the S7 forum. You will also need the ODIN software for your PC. Instructions for flashing the ROM using ODIN should also be in the forum.
Wish You luck!

I did this to myself when I enabled all the Google security and accidently unclicked oem unlock after I rooted the phone.
I ended up with the same msg. Couldn't get Into recovery.
I used smart switch on pc. Used emergency recovery entered my serial number. And it got me up and running.

Dm-Vertify Bootloop

Hello today i come to you with the dm-vertify bootloop issue. I got stuck in this dilemma by attempting to SIM unlock to be able to use my Sprint Variant on T-Mobile and my stupid self was messing with settings i should have resulting in this. After research i have found that i need to flash with Odin using the stock Firmware firmware but i cant seem to find the exact firmware i need to un-brick my phone.
In the system recovery it lists "LMY47X.G925PVPU3BOL1" as the version of firmware my phone is currently running on. If anyone could help me Locate the appropriate download that would be much appreciated!

You wouldn't mind sharing me your EFS, I went into deeper crap with an error saying device does not have drk please install drk first and the only way to bypass it is to root which I don't want to keep. Would really appreciate it if you could help me out :good:

Ah well thanks for the reply

Can I do with my ATT S7?

I just got an S7 today, the SM-G930A from ATT. I had an upgrade available so I went for it and got rid of my old S4 Active. From what I've read so far it doesn't look like I can root my new phone right now but I wanted to ask just to make sure I'm not missing anything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

No you cannot root it, because it's bootloader is locked down by Samsung. Even if you tried to install twrp on it, you would just brick your device.

Samsung Galaxy Sol (Cricket)

Hey everyone I was hoping for a little help on this 1. I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy Sol (SM- J321AZ) AND wanted to make a back up and possibly flash a custom Rom on this device if at all possible. I have the Galaxy Tab E 8.0 (SM- T377P) and third to do the same thing without making a backup and not it's pretty much a paper weight as every time I download a .tar file it won't flash and none of the major websites have a factory or custom Rom so that I can use it again. (If anyone can help on that as well that would be SUPER AWESOM). Anyways, I don't wanna make the same mistake with this device as the other so I figured I would ask for some help. I need to network I lock the Sol phone as I'm a T- Mobile user but this was the only phone they had at the store that was not a flip phone. Hope someone out there can help.
Thanks in advance.

Galaxy Sol? I gotta admit, I had to look that one up; never heard of that one before. It appears to be brand new, having 6.0 and released just last month, but it's not even on Cricket's website. Weird.
As far as custom ROMs or even root goes, you're probably SOL (pun totally intended), at least for right now. However, Cricket does like to rename a lot of their phones that are otherwise identical to others, so it's possible a root method may exist.
When it comes to carrier unlocking, things can get a bit tricky. Cricket sells phones for fairly cheap because they only sell them to their own customers. In other words, they know they'll at least make up the difference with a minimum of a couple months worth of service. I gather you've purchased this phone second-hand. If it's not already unlocked, you might not be able to get it unlocked short of one of those services you see on eBay. Contact Cricket about it. They have rules and limitations about when and if they'll unlock their phones. Root/ROMs typically can't do anything regarding carrier unlocking. Interesting though that so many newer Cricket devices, even the cheapos, happen to have band 12 for T-Mobile.
I just bought this at best buy a few weeks ago. This phone seems to be exactly the same as the Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime SM-J320 with the exception it being 8GB.

CRICKETWIRESSDOTCOM/cell-phones/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-amp-prime.html
Either way, I was unable to find a stock fw for either of these phones however the firmware allow for OEM unlock. I was looking to at least root and clear away the garbage because out of 8gb I can only use 3GB (also install apps to SD). I don't want to do this unless I have at least a stock fw backup rom to load.
Is there any back door way of downloading this stock firmware? I've look far and wide. Any assistance would ease the pain. Thanks.
here is a link to the stock firmware

Just head to my new post with links to the firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/samsung-galaxy-sol-sm-j321aza-little-t3420635
This phone is currently $50 at Best Buy. I want to buy it for my mom(she's using my old Nexus 4, which is slowly dying), and this seems like a decent replacement. The thing is, she's on T-Mobile. If this can be unlocked to use on any gsm carrier, that'd be great. I guess I'll have to look around eBay or ask Cricket about unlocking it.

And then I get to deal with the frp lock. I don't have the info for that either, But would it be easier to bypass the frp instead?
I'm not entirely sure but aren't the spec for this the same or almost the same as the Galaxy J3 or the Galaxy amp prime? Would anything from those devices work on this. Like a rom port or root method

that selinux root method earlier in the thread does work for root, and after root just adb shell pull all partitions to port twrp or brew a rom. the specs for the j3 and prime are nearly identical so porting from those two should not be to hard. i went to a new phone so i wont be doing anything further with it. unless i get bored and decide to fish it out the junk drawer for something to do. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1rwlbcYZ8i6NldnV0ppVHJ3Z1U thats the link to the adb file for root and the instructions are here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/release-root-samsung-galaxy-prime-j320az-t3493077 . Sorry thats an Odin flashable boot img with selinux tweeked. sorry havent paid much attention to this phone lately
Ok thanks I'm going to see what I can do. At least TWRP and from there compile a rom. I have nothing but time and patience so I'm gonna build cm13 and see what happens.

I'm pretty sure these phones sm-s906l can't be used with any carer except straight talk. They have passed some bs agreement were they won't unlock phones to keep people using there service.

Screwed up my S7

I have a Straight talk galaxy s7 SM-G930VL that I wanted to root. I followed a video on youtube and did get it rooted, although it's buggy as hell and i cant do almost anything without a "stopped responding" message. I Used Odin to flash an AP file that was given from the video, now when i boot up my S7 it has a little lock that says Custom. To my understanding that means it's detecting a custom rom is in use. Well this custom rom is slowing down my phone, bootlooping at some points, and being a real pain. I can't find the original firmware anywhere online and it's becoming a real headache for me. I need some help figuring out how to get my stock firmware back if possible, or some other solution.
If any other info is needed, I will be glad to provide it, thank you.
Edit: Now I can't even boot up the system. When i do, it says Samsung Galaxy S7 then the little lock icon that says custom, powered by android.
Also I used the recovery settings and it says it can't mount /system
So as of right now, my phone is totally useless.
