Factory Data Reset | Custom Binary Blocked by OEM Lock | Odin can't detect my device - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

[LONG POST AHEAD!!]
My father bought me a secondhand S8+ which was only used for less than two months.
(I wasn't really happy it was secondhand but at least I got a new phone and an upgrade from my old J7 2015?? HAHAHA)
I was supposed to software update it since it was only in Android v7.0 when 8.0 already exists, but when I did try to download software updates, it banned me from doing so. It turns out that the phone was rooted.
Since it was rooted, I decided to factory reset it through the settings. And so I did. When I rebooted it, it displayed "Custom binary blocked by OEM Lock." After watching several videos on YouTube, it told me to download its stock firmware and flash everything through Odin. After doing so, I connected the phone to my laptop for it to flash the firmware, but the laptop can't recognize the device and can't install driver software. I tried several ways to fix this: I downloaded the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Devices, and even downloaded Smart Switch. Still, no driver software. I also tried installing the driver software through searching for it (as suggested by Windows Troubleshooting), but still no driver software.
I also tried wiping my data thru Recovery Mode, and when I selected Reboot after wiping the data, it still displayed the same thing.
Please help :crying:

Have you tried to boot into download mode and then try flashing via odin? If you are on the block "Custom binary blocked by OEM Lock" message you wont get any USB response.

yes i have booted into download mode, but my laptop still cant detect my device.

I think is a driver problem. First try other USB port after try to connect other Samsung mobile to laptop for test.

I did try the other ports and at some time it detected the device but it was a Base System Device or Unknown Device and can't install its driver software. My J7 connects perfectly fine to the laptop though.

Yeah i got it flashed. Turned out that i used an old odin also you have to get a firmware which has the same csc or one that it compatible with your device. Info on samsung csc can be found on the net, look for multi csc codes if you wanna change to software from another carrier.

Before you start flashing always disable reactivation lock. Othervise flashing may fail.
ODIN won't detect Galaxy S5 G906K [KT]
Hello All,
I've been having the same issues as people in this thread but have been unable to come up with a solution so far. I've tried to the whole battery trick which sometimes works with other Samsung devices but have been unable to solve this problem. It seems that ODIN just won't detect the 906K while it is on the recovery mode window. However if the phone is booted normally ODIN sees its fine.

Can anyone provide some assistance?
Thanks in advance..
ODIN Version: Odin3_v3.10.7
Device Model: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G906K [kt]
Resolved.

So after an entire day of investigation and logging I've figured out that this was an issue related to a carrier update by Olleh (KT). For anyone who runs into the same problem on the SM-G906K I recommend KingRoot as a means of getting started for root. CWM/TWRP are also methods that I tested with success.
I hope this helps someone who has the same problem down the road.

Hello
Do you have your bootloader blocked, the new version of firmware enabled this option, you need to go to development options and enable the option of OEM, and that's it, you can flash whatever you want

"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" & Odin/PC won't recognize the device

"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" & Odin/PC won't recognize the device
Okay so,
My phone has been rooted for a year, I disabled OEM Unlock by accident, my antivirus was always telling me its unsecure with this feature on and to 'click here' to disable it.. I forgot how important this was to have enabled while rooted and ended disabled it and that night rebooting my device.
I get this error when trying to boot my device:
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock"
I have the original stock firmware, and Odin and want to reset the phone but when I plug this device in ( while in download mode ) > the windows PC doesn't recognize it (no new device sound or any change in devicemanager) and therefore odin isn't recognizing anything either - - I can grab my other 2nd-device and boot it into download mode, plug it into the same setup and boom > recognized and 'Ready!' Status in odin almost immediately so I don't think it's my PC or the cables -- I don't think 1st-device has usb debugging enabled either and I'm not sure how to proceed ...
any help is much appreciated ...
Try to use Smart Switch (from Samsung website), which also has the latest drivers, to recover your phone. (Google "how to recover with smart switch")
Alright,
Forgot to mention I tried Samsung Kies but cannot find the serial number on the device, I'll give Smart Switch a try this evening on my other PC and report back... hopefully that PC recognizes it, my tablet connects to this laptop but not the phone.. could USB debugging being disable cause this?
How close to bricked is this?
I'm such a fool!
Thanks for the feedback so far..
Hi boot tar flash odin frp lock of after stock rom flash
I went through this a few weeks back. I found my serial number (was a sticker originally on back of phone) and used smart switch to recover firmware. Then enabled developer options, oem unlock, flash TWRP thru ODIN etc etc.
So if I find the serial number, I save it .. good to know, thanks!

Hey man, im having the exact same issue with my S7 edge.
So I got my IMEI number, and with my number I went to imei. info / and I got my serial number through a warranty check through the site, you have to register to do it.
I used Smart Switch and I get an error when trying to use the emergency recovery "Model number cannot be initialized"
I'm also getting the error on my PC when trying to connect my device to odin saying that "USB device cannot recognize" and with that I cannot flash the stock firmware on the device.
So if you have gotten any solution to the FRP lock please let me know.
Serial number is engraved on back cover next to the imei number -,- @samuraichick0n about "Model number cannot be initialized" try to write it in diffrent forms eg. G935f or SM-G935f uppercase or lowercase.

PC doesnt want to recognize my device, so Odin doesn't pick it up.
Try it with other usb cable. What is given together with the charger is incongruent, it happened to me, the same problem. (galaxy s6, s7)
And you need the newest odin. Excuse me my crappy English.

Hello, after exhausting all options I had to take the device to Samsung themselves - eventually they had to replace the motherboard on the phone to fix it.
So check if your phone is under warranty and take it in.
I fixed this when I first rooted by flashing the stock bootloader, firmware etc everything through odin

Have you tried uninstalling all the USB drivers for your device, restarting PC, re-installing drivers then restart PC and then try connecting your device.
When you updated, did you boot to stock recovery and factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot? Sometimes failing to wipe during update can cause things to not work correctly.

And when you right click on the driver with the yellow triangle and select update driver, it does nothing?
Have you tried manually updating the driver and choosing the option to select from files on your PC instead of the auto-update feature? You can use this method to navigate to the folder that the Samsung drivers are installed in and select them from there, this should load the drivers.

You changed the USB settings as suggested and nothing changes?
You disabled anti-virus before installing the drivers?
You disabled fast startup? (If your PC has this feature)
How USB works on your note 4 versus how it works on your other devices may have slight differences, that would explain why your others connect and the note 4 doesn't.
Have you enabled USB debugging developer options?
99% of the time this is a PC hardware/driver issue, not an issue with the android device in question.

Tab 2 not recognized by PC

I installed some cyanogen rom on my tablet and now everytime I try to plug it into my laptop or PC It says USB not recognized device descriptor request failed. I tried with 3 different cables and 3 different computers. I have samsung drivers installed. I just need to get it to connect so I can restore my tablet to stock ROM. I was trying it on my own with mobile odi n(app) and tried to flash it but it went into a loop and deleted recovery. Now the tablet does power on and works - apps crash all the time and no root available. So basically its useless and I do now know what do to... Please, someone just help me out here >.< :crying:

If you manage to get root, then you can use FlashFire from play store to flash the stock rom.

Basically, because what you get is a CyanogenMod, which does not relate to any piece of the Samsung Driver. All you need is Google USB Driver which supports almost all Android phones in the world. A thread in XDA talks about 15 seconds Google USB Driver Program for Windows which can be found somewhere in the XDA thread world.
And more here, for the problem about root access, have you tried installing a SuperSu flashable zip through your recovery yet? That should work a lot. Then, if you update your firmware using recovery without using an OTA update manually, apps may not be compatible and will crash. Reinstalling all your crashing apps from the Google Play Store should help.
Finally, if you want to update your phone through recovery, not an OTA-received ROM, please make sure not to install many apps on it, because when it crashes, you can do nothing but to reinstall it. although, all add-ons (Such as GApps, SuperSu, Xposed Framework, et cetera) need to be reinstalled so you don't lose them during a manual update, so don't delete your flashable add-on zips once you installed, you might need them forever.
Recovery is like a mobile version of Odin, use a Desktop version of Odin so you can get yourself out. A tutorial might be found somewhere on YouTube.
Hope you have a good day,
Shippo

There is a tool called Forget Windows Use Linux in which all necessary drivers come preinstalled and your tab should be recognised from your pc with no problem if it's a driver issue. Try it
Try this slide down from upper left of the screen. If the window indicates charge only, click on it. It should then offer file transfer. In order to get adb to see the tablet turn on deveper options and enable USB debug mode. Hopefully that works for you.

(SOLVED) Custom binary blocked by FRP lock message when i try to boot my phone

Edit: It seemed as it solved itself, look in the replies for details
So i have had my gs7 rooted for a year or longer. Yesterday i rebooted my phone and got the error message "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". Sadly, when i enter download mode and plug it into a pc with odin installed, it is not recognised. Odin does not say anything about a phone plugged in, and windows says the usb is not recognized.
What i think have caused this:
I downloaded an app that allowed me to record internal audio
I turned off developer options, and my stupid ass did not realize that is where oem unlock is located.
What i have tried:

Using odin, but odin does not even recognize my phone
Tried using another computer with odin
tbh, looking at the other posts, i think i messed up. I dont want to send it in for repairing because i will have to pay a lot of money. I have tried sending it in for repairing a while ago. Then my problem was that i could not call with it, but they wanted me to pay the price for a new phone to repair my old phone, since i had rooted it. I did not accept it so i got my phone back, and managed to fix the issue myself. I hope i manage to fix the issue this time aswell.

I have samsung usb drivers installed, and download mode has always been working and has always been recognized by odin ever since this happened. And online all i find is that i should boot into download mode and try using odin, but odin does not recognize my phone, nor does my computer.

Please pay attention to guides when messing about with your phone, OEM and Debugg are critical to being able to modify.

SOLVED!
The issue fixed itself, im not sure what i did. I was suddenly able to connect my phone to odin. Just incase someone reads this with the same problem. This is what i did: installed smart switch and rebooted my computer. Uninstalled and reinstalled samsung usb drivers.
Before i did those things the issue was still there, i was ready to use smart switch, but i tried odin one last time and it worked. Now samsung pass tells me my phone is rooted, even though it is not (my root dissapeared after resetting my phone), its not that big of an issue, just thought id let you know
