So when I was trying to unlock my phone via my fingerprint, i didn't have my finger on there correctly 1 to many times and locked my phone. I couldn't remember my passcode and had to log into it via my google account. It then restarted and now won't boot. Gives me the "custom binary blocked by FRP lock" Tried flashing the root tar file and TWRP tar file with no luck. Don't know what to do as I have never came across this before. Any help is appreciated. Phone is rooted but stock.
They holding volume up, home and power when the phone is off. Should get you into recovery. Then do a factor reset. Not sure if this will work though.

The phone is rooted so flashing the tar file for root or TWRP is useless because its already rooted. The problem is you locked the phone with your fingerprint. Did you make a backup? You can restore that and you should be good beause it resets the device completely. However, if you did not, then flash the stock tar file in Odin and you'll be good to go. You can find the stock tar file here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62536311&postcount=1
I can confirm it works. You will just have to reroot because it returns the phone to stock out the box.
Due to FRP (Factory Reset Protection) by Google, You won't be able to flash any custom files to phone, it'll always fail, To be able to flash any custom files, You have to enable "allow OEM unlocking" from developer menu, which will disable the FRP lock, But this is not possible in your case since you can't access the menu, But since you're rooted, i assume that you enabled "USB Debugging", So now connect the phone to PC and run CMD and try the following commands one by one,
adb devices # this should list your device
adb shell
su
cd data/system
ls #this will list all files in that dorectory
rm *.key #to delete all .key files which contains the lock
and you're done.

He just said his phone is rooted, And i assumed that USB Debugging is enabled, So if you have the same case, You can connect your phone to PC and start using ADB as normal, Then you can follow my guide to get rid of any kind of screen security there, Simple like that.

I connected the phone to the PC whilst it was in Download Mode (that is the only mode I can boot into and it wouldn't see it).
Too late now anyway, as I've just flashed stock through ODIN

If your phone doesn't boot to system, Then you can't use my method, My method was all about saving the data on the phone, And if the data wasn't important to you, you can always flash the stock FW for your phone, Or even wipe the phone from recovery, And i can see you had no option since system doesn't boot up.

Good for you, And that's because you've flashed an One-Package FW (AP only) which is simillar or newer than the one you had, In that case all your of your settings and data will be still there, And that applicable also for the screen security, Which you'll notice it being there if you had one before your phone got stucked at boot screen, Now i see what your problem was, Before now i thought it was about security. :highfive:

I actually didn't have any screen security. I know I had turned on OEM and USB Debugging, so not sure how OEM got turned off.
Anyways glad its sorted! Just finished re-rooting and I am back up and running!

How do you get it to flash via odin? I keep trying and get a failure of the lock. Is there a specific method you did that i am not doing right?
Please help if you can. I don't want to have to go to warranty and pay a hefty fee.
I too am suck in FRP lock. I also can't get into TWRP or can't flash it on the phone.
I would really appreciate it.

Yes it did. Download the stock firmware from Sam Mobile and just flash it through ODIN whilst in Download mode. It kept all my apps and settings too.
After around 5-6 hours this morning/afternoon, I've officially given up on fixing this on my own, and I've all but accepted my device to be a $600 paperweight.
I decided to make one last attempt at saving it by posting for help.
Problem: My phone has a feature called "FRP" (Factory Restore Protection), which is tied to one's Google account. Basically, if you have a Google Account on the phone, it locks the phone to any custom binary/custom OS/whatever.
Once I realized this, in order to root my phone, I went in and removed my Google accounts. Sure enough, this disabled the FRP Lock, and I was able to root my device.
After rooting my device, I re-added my Google accounts and went about my business for the next couple of weeks or so.
Just this morning, my phone was having issues charging, so I decided it'd be a good idea to give my phone a reboot. Big problem. It turns out I simply haven't ever turned off my phone since I rooted it. On top of that, I didn't think the FRP Lock would apply to booting the phone, I thought it only affected flashing new firmware. I was wrong.
After my phone turned off, red text appears at the top of the screen: "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock".
This is the problem. It simply cannot boot. Because it cannot boot, I cannot remove the Google accounts to disable the lock and resolve the problem. Because the lock can't be disabled, I can't flash the phone's original firmware, because FRP Lock will stop anything and everything I try to do.

Goodbye 1k+ photos on phone... And, well, goodbye *phone*.
Unless someone has any helpful thoughts! And that's why I'm here.
tl;dr: Soft bricked phone due to FRP Lock. Not able to restore original firmware, factory restore, or boot into phone's operating system.
Important: The phone turns on, and I have access to the recovery menu as well as "Download Mode"
---
What I have tried:
Factory restoring through the recovery menu, doesn't have any effect
Flashing stock firmware through Odin (Nand write failure)
Flashing a custom recovery environment (TWRP) through Odin (FRP Lock blocked this flash)
ADB and Fastboot cannot recognize the device
Tried to use Kies 3 and Smart Switch to "re-initialize" my OS or something. Both failed, saying that my phone wasn't compatible, and that my serial number was invalid (it was, in fact, correct)
---
And I probably did more things that I simply don't remember. The point here is that I've done everything, and literally everything has failed for one reason or another.
I feel like it is a possibility that if I attempted another stock ROM, then I might be able to avoid the Nand Write Failure. But again, I don't know, and I've almost accepted that I need to start looking for cheap alternative phones.
Thanks in advance, I really hope that this can be fixed one way or another. I'd be sad to see my photos disappear, but if it was the only way for my phone to work again, I could live with it.
have you tried delete the operating system and then flashing a stock rom using odin
by deleting the OS you have a blank phone with google deleted, thus disabling FRP lock.

I thought about doing that, but I have no way of wiping the phone. What do you suggest?
you can wipe the phone through recovery. it is under the advance section. you will need to delete each section manually.
1. Go to download mode
2.Untick auto reboot,
3.Flash twrp
4.do not reboot to system, reboot to recovery.
5. Install super su and reboot system
Done.

I was unable to boot into the phone.
However, I've more or less resolved the issue.
The issue was that when I was first trying to flash stock firmware, I was using an old version. I've read since then that that doesn't work. So I spent 15 hours+ downloading the latest firmware of 6.0.1, and sure enough, it flashed successfully.

Would this work with the Samsung Account Factory Reset Protection?
Hello,
So recently my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone has got back from being unlocked in a repair shop... When I got the phone back though, everytime I try to start it red writing pops up during boot saying 'Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock' before shutting off...
I have tried:
Code:
1-Flashing a ROM using Odin
2-Unlocking the phone's bootloader
3-Using a load of google searches
4-Installing third-party apps
5-Installing stock firmware through SD card
None of the above worked, since the person that unlocked the phone seemed to have re-locked the boot loader after they finished...
Does anyone know any other solution?
Flash rom again and select nand erase all in options tab

In my previous post I noted that my RMM/KG appears prenormal but my bootloader IS unlocked. I'm wondering if anyone is able to change something in TWRP so the device and ODIN thinks it's an official binary? That way those of us with a prenormal knoxguard status can flash it. If its possible we could just apply the RMM fix zip file and that's it? It anyone can do this please! Kudos will be given

its not likely the TWRP file itself thats causing the issue. Even if the phone says that the bootloader is unlocked in developer settings, if it says prenormal in d/l mode, its locked. Go into dev settings, change the toggle to lock, wait 168 hours while leaving data on and not rebooting, then toggle the lock back to off. Reboot to d/l mode and if the bootloader state is "normal", then you will be able to flash TWRP (provided there isnt something else amiss)

My while problem is that I've already waited far beyond 7 days and my oem toggle is there and can be locked or unlocked however my KG state is still prenormal. Phone hasn't been turned off still and it's been 28 says now
So, I have a really really odd situation. I have an MDM on my phone, MASS360. I typed in the phone's password wrong too many times, and it locked me out of the phone. The phone says to reach out to the IT Department to fix it. I reached out to the IT Department, but they weren't able to fix it. So I have a bit of a conundrum. OEM Unlock is off, and so is USB debugging. I cant unlock the phone to turn them on. I also can't factory reset (even from the recovery menu) because of the MDM's policy. Is there a way to Sideload a file or something to factory reset the phone? Any other ways that I can factory reset the phone? I'd also be fine with installing another ROM on the phone if its possible.

you bet! Welcome to XDA btw!
I have almost exactly the same issue. I was tinkering with MDM 'force PIN' and then stupidly removed the device (Samsung SM -T505) from MDM (Scalefusion) before disabling the PIN lock. Now the PIN is not recognised, I can't get into the the home screen at all because of the PIN, the recovery menu is missing wipe data/factory reset and (of course) USB debugging is NOT enabled. If I try to flash a stock ROM, ODIN reports 'SetupConnection..' but eventually times out without sending anything. ADB devices list is empty. However, I can get into ADB sideload from the recovery menu and ADB devices (on the PC) then shows a device in sideload mode. I tried loading the Samsung stock ZIP, but the tablet reported signing errors and quit.
Is it possible to sideload a stock rom? Or a 'force factory reset' zip file of some sort? Or perhaps from SD card?Choosing the bootloader menu shows 'Fasboot Mode' in red with device state - locked (also in red.
I m not trying to crack an ebay cheepy or anything else (I have the receipt to prove purchase), but I REALLY need to get back into this darned thing! I suppose at least one can say that the Knox system works well!.
Any offerings, please?!!
