It took me two days to find a solution to a locked FRP that I could bypass but not root. I found this solution to fix the following problems:
FRP lock
Google account lock
Downgrading rom
Root locked device
Flash custom recovery on a FRP locked or Activation Lock enabled
Can't sign in to Samsung account after factory reset
Cannot delete Samsung account
Cannot add Samsung account
Cannot disable Activation Lock
Activation Lock greyed out
Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked By R/L
Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
ODIN Complete(Write) operation failed.
Odin: Flash write failure
Solution:
Step 1: Download and install a "Combination file" for your device
I did a google search for mine, and came across a few Combination files for mine, some can be found here: https://www.mobileheadlines.net/download-samsung-combination-file/
Step 2: Flash the "Combination file" for your device
Flashing it with ODIN with result in an error so I used Z3X samsung to flash it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Z3X 29.5 Samsung Tool Pro with Loader tool can be downloaded from here: https://www.techeligible.com/2018/04/01/download-z3x-29-5-samsung-tool-pro/
* Remember to start the loader as admin in windows
Step 3: Start phone
The phone will start in factory mode, which will allow you to test every feature of the phone, as well as have access to settings.
Optional Step: Enable Developer tools and ADB (optional)
Easy to do, and you will get ADB
Optional Step: Unlock FRP using ADB
Plenty of methods around, I used Miracle box:
Optional Step: Flash any stock ROM you want
Should be easy using ODIN, but I did it with Z3X. You can flash ROM with Pit, without, one file, 4 files, downgrade/upgrade to your favorite ROM without hassle
Step: Root
Should be easy using ODIN, but I did it with Z3X:
Step: TWRP flash
Should be easy using ODIN, but I did it with Z3X:
Step: Custom rom install and kernel
Use TWRP

First of all, I am newb, kindly ignore silly replies till I am used to technical stuff, Very new to Android World.
I have upgraded to lollipop 5.0 properly from KitKat. Now planning to root my device to try more..
I have succesfully done following with guidance of http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5375117 :
1. I am using following files as recommended, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58648567&postcount=297
Using odin 3.10
2. Followed instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58732404&postcount=345
I used that CF method once and it ended up tripping my knox counter. So I will just stick to the su method I used.
Once you launch odin. Make sure only the Autoreboot and F.Reset time boxes are ticked on the left side of Odin.
Then head over to the right side,Tick the box just before AP and then navigate to where you've downloaded the CWM. select it.
Now boot your phone into download mode (press power+volume down+ home), connect it to the PC and once that part written ID COM on odin goes green, click on start and wait for odin to do its thing.
Upon completion, your phone will reboot.

Click to collapse
Was able to complete this task properly, without any issues.
Now make sure you copy the super su zip file to your device storage then reboot into recovery (press power+volume up+home button) and flash the zip file.
Thats it. Your sm-n900 will be rooted.

After following the above method. I am getting "signature verification failed of entire file" continuously. I also retried after removing the battery and replacing it back. But getting the same error.

Tried removing battery + renamed the file to update.zip but nothing works.
I got another suggestion:
hat means the zip file is corrupted. Disable signature verification in CWM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But there is no way I can find an option to disable signature verification in CWM for NOTE 3 SM-N900
Looking for expert advice.
So far, being little more comforable with android compared to my DAY 1 here.
Regards,
You need custom recovery to flash that .zip file via recovery. Stock recovery requires certain signature in the file.
You can use the CF-Auto-Root to root your phone, you can find it in Original Development section. Requires Odin for that.

Dear sir,
Request you to kindly help me through step by step instructions.
I am a newb for sure but will never give up.
User helping me said no to go for cf-suto-root for some knox counter issues.
Kindly help what right file to download and go ahead with right stuff.
We have few more mobile to test everything. We keep getting
SwiftKey keyboard messed around many options SORRY
CF-Auto-Root is pretty much only method for Lollipop at the moment. Yes, it does trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag though, look it up if you want to know what it means (voids warranty in certain regions apparently, definitely not in EU).
Instructions are in the first post of the CF-Auto-Root topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
I can post better instructions tomorrow, no time today.
I followed the above method, phone rooted properly.
But now I end up with phone not booting.. due to some mistake.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/unfortunately-applications-stopped-t3027814
First of all I'd like to say that I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place.
I currently have the S5 but I'm in need of an upgrade so I was considering buying the S7 tomorrow. Before I buy a phone I like to know how to root it so I can root it as soon as I take it out of the box. The reason I'm writing this is because I've found multiple different rooting methods for the S7 and don't know which one I should use. I'm wondering if anybody could provide me with a link to a guide that will work for rooting the S7. I live in Canada so the model number of my S7 will be SM-G930w8
Also, how do I turn on/off root access on TouchWiz? I have an S5 but it's not running TouchWiz. I'm running CyanogenMod on it. In CyanogenMod there's an option to turn root on and off in the developer options in settings. I know that this option isn't available on TouchWiz roms, only AOSP roms. I'm a huge Snapchat user and Snapchat doesn't allow you to sign in when rooted so if I ever get logged out or re install the app I need the ability to disable root temporarily to sign back in so how do you disable and re enable root on TouchWiz roms?
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Sorry for the long post, and again I'm really sorry if I'm posting this I'm the wrong place.
Hi. If you want to root and pass safety net (so as to be able to use apps lile Snapchat or Pokemon Go) you need to root using Magisk. Another option is to use SuperSu+SuHide but magisk is more mature and is open source so I would recommend you to use it instead.
Magisk installation is very straightforward: install TWRP, flash Magisk installer and you are good to go. Please note that after installing a custom recovery your data partition will need tp be formated (use the "wipe->Format Data" option pf TWRP and reboot to recovery BEFORE installing Magisk.
On a side note once you install a custom recovery the Knox flag will be set to 1 and there is no coming back. As a result all the knox protected apps won't work anymore, ex: S-Health app, Secure Folder and so on. You can solve the issue with SHealth by editing one line of the build.prop, changing the property "ro.config.tima" from 1 to 0.
Warning: once you flashed a custom recovery and/or custom kernel DO NOT turn off Developer Settings (particularly the option "Enable OEM unlock") otherwise you will be locked out of the phone the moment you reboot it and you will need to flash the stock rom again (using ODIN). it happened to me today because of an stupid mistake [emoji28]

I've just flashed SuperMan ROM today (NOT using ODIN), and the "Enable OEM unlock" option is no longer under Developer Options.

The option should be there if your are using a custom rom based on the stock rom like the SuperMan ROM.

I think the first warning should be: Once you root a Samsung device, your warranty is gone, also once you flash a custom recovery your Knox gets tripped 0x1. With Knox 0x1 there is no way you can revert it back to 0x0.
this s10e, will not take any combination/factory firmware when I am trying to flash. How do i resolve this problem? or there is no solution to this issue?

I was unable to find any solution. People are saying read pit file with z3x and then try to flash in odin with pit file read from z3x but i am not sure if that will work, I have not tried that.

Authorization for PIT file.
When flashing only one BL,AP or CP the partition allocation/information table has to be read from device.
If flashed only one file it's not recomendet to tick Re-partition (Odin).
When setting the PIT (Inside CSC_OMC) the files / blocks are flashed to desired position.
To bring things back extract the pit file from the CSC_OMC and flash all binaries in BL/AP/CP/CSC_OMC with selected pit file from CSC_OMC binary (If all binaries are flashed, the pit is not needed for specification) !
The DID on download screen makes me believe it is related to bootloader lock
[Android][UNSAMLOCK] Bootloader Unlock for Samsung US/Canada Devices
KG Status is PRENORMAL. You won't be able to flash custom binaries while in this state. Reflash stock firmware and connect to the Internet, then verify the OEM Unlocking toggle in Developer Options is still visible - it should be grayed out, "Bootloader is already unlocked".
Once it's visible, reboot to download mode. KG STATUS should be COMPLETED, you can now flash custom images.

Here is what Odin tells me Complete(Write) operation failed.

CSC : LUX
AP version : A326BXXU3AUH5
FWVER : 0007
Unique number : 2C0121194E4DAF30B732
Storage : 128
I already tried different solutions and Firmwares from samfw Older/Newest and from Frija-v1.4.4 but i get always the same error.
Smart Switch / Samsung Kies etc...
Would be happy if someone can help me find a Solution i searched already the last 15 hours.
(p.s Sorry for my bad English)
it seems that the bootloader is locked, you should unlock it to be able to flash custom rom, like the samsung rom.
View attachment 5662231 it says "Custom binary blocked by OEM lock".
Try to see if he installed a custom recovery like TWPR, but 90% the phone doesn't has a recovery.
try to unlock the bootloader by entering fast-boot mode.
>Now turn off your device completely.
>Press and hold the Volume UP and DOWN button on your Galaxy A32 and connect it to your PC
>This will boot your device into Download Mode.
>Once in the Download/Recovery menu, press and hold the Volume Up key until you can see the “Unlock Bootloader” >screen.
-Unlock your bootloader.
-Download A32 5G: a32x.
-Put the TWRP TAR for your device with Odin in the AP slot.
-vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in USERDATA slot and click start.
-Start flashing the recovery.
-Then enter onto the custom recovery.
-"Wipe"-->"Format Data"
-Install custom rom !!make sure to have the stock kernel,vendor!!
