Hi all,
I have been searching in some threads, and I could not find any valuable answer. Is it actually possible to sim unlock (offline) the Galaxy Note 5/Sprint variant ?
I just bought one, and I am living in Burkina Faso. I had it working fine, until I entered the Download Mode screen (out of curiosity). I did nothing special and tried to Cancel out. Unfortunately, OEM unlocking was not off. I got the bootloop screen displaying the Samsung Logo with the red message in the upper-left corner saying "custom binary blocked by frp lock".
I googled a bit then discovered that flashing a stock rom was the solution. I downloaded stock firmware N920PVPS3DQF1_N920PSPT3DQF1_SPR.zip (based on Android 7) and then flashed it via Odin. It went fine, and I could turn on the phone. All the data were there, but no way to get my local sim card to work.
Is there any one who can help here ?
Much thanks in advance.

Hey man many of us in the same predicament. I found that flashing a different modem (CP) will help get some SIM
Capabilities. Not perfect but you can receive and make calls use 3g (no LTE) but cannot send SMS. I'm also searching for solutions
Search Google for " flashing radio for SMN920P" is a .tar file and you flash it via Odin

Greetings and welcome to assist. Is your phone rooted or plain stock ? Try going into settings and checking oem unlock

Hi guys. Hope anyone of you can help me.
So I've bought the dual sim version from Dubai. Flashed Custom rom, flashed nordic CSC file. Everything was working fine for months.
No while I'm in Turkey. I inserted a second sim (turkish one). Phone asked for restart cuase it's detecting new sim.
Restarted phone and now I get red font error at Samsung logo. "Custom binary blocked by frp lock"
I can't boot in to recovery mode either. This is very strange. What could be messed up? Huh
Any help please. I would love to save my data before wiping everything!!
Let me know! Appreciate it!

Not working. Cause I'm stuck at the Samsung logo. Can't log in with my google credentials!!
BTW it says FAP lock not FRP.
Also how could this happen? Why did it get locked?
Any help please. I'm stuck in Turkey without my phone!!
You have to go to updato.com and download your firmware. Then Odin flash it, then go to developer settings and check off OEM unlock.

Recovery Mode?stucked up... You can re-flash the ROM.This time Dont go for Custom Rom
Use Offical Rom Provided By Samsung...Cheers
Different Custom roms aren't built accordingly as the offical work fines and smooth:good:
Guarantee you flashing stock rom will not work.
I've been stuck in recovery and download mode and downloaded all the official samsung firmware for my phone, 100% exact and 100% correct firmware.
Been trying for days and days and days.....all flashes ok, but simply reboots to android recovery saying same old SHI*
Which is:
something along the lines of DRK not installed and to install ENG boot or binary.
I've downloaded from coreect site, efinitely the correct firmwarefor my phone model and carrier etc etc....nothing works.
tried different versions of odin etc.
Nope, nothing.
I've got a BRICK!
Took my phone into Samsung store today, they looked at it and basically said, warranty void - only way to fix it is to fit a brand new board!
getting it back Tuesday, but costing me £250 ! ! ! !
Matt.
Hello.
(backstory, boring) I have an SM-955F from Claro that I've been trying to unlock completely from the carrier. I've had lots of trouble with them and am pending a case with FCC to get out of their claws. In the meantime, I've been trying (without success, hence my posts) to get it working 100% with T-Mobile. I've had T-Mobile for years under a friend's name and couldn't get a device -so I took one from Claro when Puerto Rico was hit with the Hurricane (T-Mobile had no signal for months).
(Little-lot- of info) So, I had the phone updated to Sammobile's PCT 8.0 firmware -G955FXXU1CRC7_G955FOWA1CRC2_PCT-. But it didn't have the OEM unlock. At one point I remember installing TWRP but something happened to the phone and it wouldn't boot up. So, my act of magic (*coughs*, XDA) I found a way to get it back to official firmware (I think at first it was a Germany's 8.0 firmware*can't find the file name*). Anyways, I want to get the phone to have Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, etc from T-Mobile and, for what I've interpreted, that comes from the CSC files.
Now, I found a thread that uses TWRP+AROMA to get a list of CSC files on the phone and I can just install the one I want. (I don't know if there's an easier way directly from ODIN but I've not found that compatible TMB CSC file for my phone to get the features working, if any).
In any case I still want my phone rooted (I think I triggered Knox, but the phone updated through the Samsung Updater just fine after installing a PCT 7.0 firmware -G955FXXU1AQCC_G955FOWA1AQCC_PCT-. Clearly I'm out of my depth)
(to the point) The phone doesn't want to install my TWRP file. Says "custom binary(RECOVERY) blocked due to remaining installment balance". Obviously it's Claro's side blocking it, I think?. But I can't get them to unlock it (since it's still "theirs", until I get my case resolved or pay their stupid balance. Long story short, Claro's service is **** and I regret not waiting to get my credit approved my T-Mobile)
So, how do I go about it? I read that its RMM blocked. But my state says normal. The OEM unlock only appears on the 7.0 -G955FXXU1AQCC_G955FOWA1AQCC_PCT- firmware (even then it won't let me install TWRP through ODIN). I honestly don't know. I'll appreciate all the help I can get to reach my goal of getting 100% on T-Mobile's features (mainly VoLTE, if possible-the feature is greyed out so I assume it can be activated). Can't even change the radio band on the thing. I read something about using Nova Launcher and having the widgets activate it through "Enhanced LTE" (I think) but that option doesn't appear on the list. I'd also like to delete all remnants from Claro on the phone, bloatware, booting logo and such. Since it's a 955F, I assume one can make it as if international?
Also, please check my previous post, I just realized I forgot to detail something. I did hit that "your phone has been modified, restart to undo process" and I forgot. Maybe that's the root of it all?
Any questions, please do ask. I'd like to get this moving. For now I'll use my Nexus 6 (God I love that phone a lot)
Maybe there's some compensation on this, maybe, if I get it done.
I've included the picture of the error and the info on Download mode, links for files I refer to also at the bottom.

Bump.
I have the same problem "custom binary (RECOVERY) blocked due to remaining installment balance", when trying to install TWRP, in my case I want to install Custom Rom and I could not, I have not found any solution to this problem, I do not have OEM on 8.0, and the RMM status is normal, I could unlock unlock SIM thanks to a friend with Z3X tool, do not charge for it but thankfully I made a donation for the hard work and also that the Z3X is not cheap at all, if you need to talk to him, you inform me to give you his contact.

Unlocked G920T galaxy s6 says "invalid SIM card" after flashing ROM/FRP bypass
HI everyone, I purchased a used galaxy s6 g920T off ebay and it was unlocked but it had the FRP (factory reset protection) so I couldn't do anything.
I looked for tutorials to reset it and found one that involved flashing the combinational ROM and stock ROM using Odin.
I was succesfully able to get on the home screen now, but the phone pops a message up saying "Invalid SIM card. Network locked SIM inserted".
I'm using a US cellular SIM card (GSM) and it should work. Did I flash the wrong ROM? how can I fix this and get it unlocked so many sim card works?
This is the exact video guide that I followed was "Bypass FRP Google account Samsung S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ (ANDROID 7) (LAST UPDATE)" by the addROM youtube channel if you want to search it, I couldn't post the direct link here.
Hello i think your phone are blocked imei(phone are lost or stolen) go back to ebay and write a seller!
Flash twrp then try to flash MiPa room and select the first csc that is default.
Hello guys,
My ex-girlfriend gave me a S7 with G930FXXS8ETC3 firmware. Unforunately the methods with SIM card no longer work (I guess since U7 or U8), because when I press on "Notification settings" nothing happens (probs blocked by Samsung).
I am unable to find any combination firmware that has Binary 8.
Help please.

You only need the google account email and password to disable the FRP lock, the one your girlfriend was using with the phone....
Have you found it? I have the same model (u8) and I can only find u1..u5
