Hi!
My sister got yesterday a new Samsung galaxy mini. Everything was OK but it was locked to a different mobile operator than she uses.
So, I was dumb enough to think that I could unlock it!
I rooted the mini and it was fine. After that I installed "Galaxy_S Unlock" by Helroz from the market.
The app failed to save the EFS folder and I got a message about a problem with BusyBox, so I installed it but it still failed.
I gave up on that and found this method on the web:
h t t p:// imransarwar.com/index.php/how-to-unlock-galaxy-ace-galaxy-gio-galaxy-mini-for-free/
I inserted the micro SD card and copied that APK and installed it. I ran the app and it gave me 4 codes, 3 of witch were 00000000.
I copied the fourth code.
I thought it worked and was going to insert the SIM card but first I deleted the APK from the SD card and the folder that was on it.
After that I powered off the phone and inserted the SIM but the phone didn't start.
The screen was flickering and frozen showing only the first Samsung logo.
I tried it without the SIM and it was the same.
The phone can be in download mode and the screen doesn't flicker.
Then I used Odin and tried tried to install an EU galaxy mini Stock ROM from this site:
h t t p:/ /droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570-original.html
Odin gave me a PASS but the phone was stuck while rebooting and the screen flickered.
Please help me if you can! Do you think I've bricked it? Could it be a screen or battery issue??

Sorry to hear that, you can find some help here The last thing you should do: bring your phone back to the Samsung service centre if you had the warranty.
Update: I found another fresh topic here
same problem here.. no error when flashing.. when the phone should reboot.. the screen keeps flickering.. on and off... tried several firmwares...
Same thing here. I tried to root my Sprint 7" galaxy tab based on information from users that it worked great and I am getting a Samsung logo and then a reboot in a continuous cycle. I read a post from user tpike that he has stock roms to unroot your device. Problem is that I am a noob and can't reply to his post. I need help fast if anyone can provide a solution. I have to have my tab working for my job.

I tried another site. See this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033
I downloaded this and followed the instructions and it rooted my tab and brought it back to life. I was so happy. I think the error I made when I started this was that I did not check USB Debugging when I started the first root. Can't be sure but that may have been the problem. Anyway, it came back to life. Give it a try.
After back to Stock firmware
i can access to recovery mode / download mode and thats all.
im only see the logo of samasung galaxy note 5.
i tried a diffrenet stock firmwares (different release dates ) - different odin programs (3.10.6 3.10.7)
and also with kies.
nothing shows up after the logo. only when the phone do a reboot ufter updating the firmware its show android icon - installing updates , and thats all its comes back to logo.
The only things i see differnet : in the recovery mode it says at the bottom ( in yellow ) : "dm-verify verfication failed ... need to check DRK first..

Try refreshing the stock rom. Restart in recovery mode and do a factory reset then clear the cache. But I have to warn you. You will loose all your personal files like music and picture etc.
Did it, wiped cache and tried factory reset , not help yet :/
I see you have FRP lock on, need to get it off. If performing a full wipe and than full odin flash cannot get the phone to boot, you could try Odin flashing twrp than sideloading a ROM and try and that way.

Ok , so i need to get off the frp lock, its will solve everything , how its possible to get it off without access to the phone and installing the apk , because of that i cant move from the starting logo.
I only have recovery mode and downloading mode , i dont know why there is a problem with that phone so only with a custom kernel tge system goes up and work ( now i cant install custom kernel because its lock )
What i need for sure is the otg cable , how can it be done with my situation?
If i flashstock firmwares from odin its ok from frp protection , how can i flash twrp recovery without get the blocked by frp , must be a way

The same thing is and for me with my sm-n920w8 Canadian version ....i flashed twrp and custom kernel and many other custom rom and when flashed official firmwares stuck on bootlogo and on stock recovery say need to check drk and when flash again custom kernel booted up...
I had the same problem, Samsung has a tool that will fix it. You will need to put your note 5 serial number, It will then download the firmware and fix your problem.
need drk

To fix this you need Samsung programing tools witch cost money, then you need DRK fix AT Commands, if you still have the problem I can fix it for you but the cable I use I'd need to have the phone, maybe if we got a mod to help us with you shipping phone to me and I'll ship back same day but that's up to you only way I know how to fix the DRK aka Dev Root Key
I can make a video, showing a phone with DRK error in recovery and I can fix it so you can see
There is a temp fix for it, you'll need latest firmware and need to open the .tar with winrar, extract system.img and sboot.img then make a new .tar with them both in it, then flash with odin and your phone will boot, but if you do a factory reset, it will do the same thing get stuck at the note 5 logo

Sorry for the long and overdue response.
The program is called Smart Switch by Samsung and you can get the tool for free, just google it and you will find it. If not let me know so I can make a Google Drive link for anyone to download.

Smart Switch from Samsung, and it can be downloaded for either Mac or Windows for free. It will require to input your device serial number, and has been updated for mm support. Hope it helps

need help with my Note-5 SM-N920T (T-mobile). I am stuck on the FRP lock and phone won't go past boot screen. I tried to flash a stock Rom through ODIN but it failed. I unknowingly tripped the Frp on when I wasn't receiving any OTA updates and tried to wipe the cache but now even when I try to data reset the phone it fails.
Luckily I remember the google ID and password that I used to setup the phone but I can't go past the boot screen need help please!!!!!!

im having the same issue, how do u get frp lock off without getting into the phone?
I have apparently killed my Note 3 SM-N900T. I was trying to install a new ROM/OS and now all I can do is get into TWRP but it won't let me install any of the zip files. It keeps coming back with an error message saying it failed. I have tried multiple downloads including the DarkLord and the original Samsung, but nothing seems to work. I can't get into Smart Switch even though I have the IMEI number. It's asks for the S/N which is not listed under the battery. Someone please help!!! Here is the list of what I have tried loading:
DarkLord.Note7.Full.Port.V1.0.edit.Ufo71
N900TUVUFOL1_N900TTMBFOL1_TMB-v5.0.1
DarkLord.N5.Beta.N920SKSU2ZPFB_edit.Ufo71
I can also get into Odin, but it only goes the the "downloading now" screen and it's not downloading anything. I spent over an hour on the phone with T-Mobile and Samsung and they were no help at all. I just need to know how I can get any OS/ROM to load.
Thanks for anything you can do to get me out of this jam. I need my phone.

It usually has a emergency firmware rescue package
Good luck
Hi! 2 or 3 days ago my phone wanted to upgrade himself on night, but i forgot to put him in charger, so his update wasn;t successfull so got bricked. The problem is another. I wanted to unbrick him with a new fresh Firmware downloaded , but got something. I used Odin for him, I put the software in his place , and pressed Start. Was ok but at boot.mpn (or how was called ) , the Odin blocked there and the phone wasn;t showing anything. Only Downloading , but no line of loading the firmware. It failed, ofcourse, and I tried again. But this process i've done ruined the boot system and now is Showing me "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software", but the Download mode was doing good. I accepted the idea that the original firmware on this phone wouldn't be back , so I tried again the Odin. But this time was different. Was stuck in Initialization stage. Well, I tried the Smart Switch from Samsung, but he's stuck too when I press "Emergency Recovery Function". I tried with Kies, maybe will be recognized, but nope. The Kies didn;t recognized the phone in the Emergency recovery . (It shows me a blank list with the devices in the Emergency Recovery stage). I though that the cable could be disfunctional, so I commanded from internet a brand new charger Samsung original, with all certificates on him. But the same thing happens . What could I do next ?

reactivation lock is on
Can't get any other details as phone won't start up properly.
My mum got a new phone so is giving her old s6 to my little brother. I did a factory reset and couldn't log back in with my mum's Samsung account, so we changed her password and tried to log in after reset and it's just not working.
I tried smart switch emergency recovery but it just said device not recognised.
I tried to flash the original stock firware amd the latest stock firmware and and latest stock firmware and it never worked.
I tried with different cables and an original Samsung cable and still to no avail. Odin fails on "complete write operation failed"
I am at a loss as what to do now as the phone now says "an error occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software"
But I have tried and it says device not recognised!
I feel I've run out of options now any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced for any help I receive.
Have a good day everyone

You can do it. You absolutely need to find the right stock ROM for it and it will work. I was stuck in this situation about a month ago, it's all about getting the right ROM

What carrier is it through? And make sure you download Odin 3.12.7, it's not the newest version of Odin but seems to be the most stable
