i have been searching for hours and trying different methods and none seem to be working..
i am trying to root a samsung s6 g920i. it is updated to android 7.0
i have dev options enabled, debugging. the one thing i do not see on the device is OEM unlocking option.
so far ive tried odin3, i selected the cfar_samsung_sm-g920i_zerofltedv_nrd90m.g920idvs4frc9_t0 file, and it shows me successful messages in the odin3 results. but on the device it restarts real quick. once it restarts, its like nothing happened. the device is still rooted and there is no super user app.
ive followed numerous videos and threads all over and cant seem to get this device rooted.
is the oem unlocking option not showing up my issue? also, i noticed when the odin was doing its thing and the phone was restarting, there was a msg showing on the top left that stated "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" then the phone would restart.
any help here would be appreciated. it also looks like all of my samsung devices do not have the oem unlocking option under developer area (3 devices) so i am not sure what happened or what am i suppose to do.
Long Shot, but .....
Similar issues with a G9200 (Hong Kong version, dual SIM). You COULD try downloading Samsung's CROM.APK from the Play Store and see if you can unlock the bootloader that way. Are you by chance running recent Nougat on the device? My suspicion is that the Nougat kernel has been tweaked to disable the known rooting / custom recovery approaches. Areal pain in the butt. My next step with the 9200 is to see if erasing the NAND via Odin will allow me to flash an older MM build (I don't care about the data) root it, TWRP it, and put a decent ROM in place of stock.

I have a Tmobile Galaxy S6 that I rooted earlier today. I fiddled around trying to get odin to install the root, and I finally found my solution when I enabled OEM Unlock in settings. After I installed the root, I disabled OEM Unlock. I then rebooted my phone and now it gives me the "Custom binary blocked by FRP" message every time I try to turn it on. I have tried many different ways of factory resetting my phone. I have tried to install 3 different firmware files, one of them stock, using 5 different versions of odin and 2 different usb cables. No matter what I do I can't get past the FRP Lock. Is there anything I can do or should I take it to a repair shop?
Try some tutorials from YT
I have been trying for about a month to root and atleast boot this SM-G920V to a rom I dont even care if it's rooted but anytime i try to follow a youtube video exactly it still ends up failing i have used adb to boot to bootloader then turned off phone booted into download mode to bypass the secure download but it still says SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY) I don't quite understand why Verizon just has to be so difficult but this may be a dumb question is there anyway to actually switch the model of this phone without just changing that file that displays it to thus switch it to a root compatible version or will changing that actually make the phone compatible I don't know if anyone has any tips as to booting this verizon galaxy s6 nougat 7 to a custom rom or even rooting though I was told that the verizon models are incompatible for unlocking bootloader but I know theres ways of booting to roms without unlocking bootloader though you need root is there anyone that doesnt need root or unlocking bootloader I have also tryed the old ping pong method and that still failed. please let me know if you have any knowledge of any of this thank you in advance
No way for custom rom.
Flash the latest official, install Package Disabler app and get rid of the bloatware.
Then enjoy the phone.
Hello, how are you? My S8+ G955FD won't boot past the SAMSUNG logo. I am able to access the menu with the Power+Bixby+Vol+, but I don't know which option to use. I selected all of them twice.
The phone is not rooted and the bootloader has never been changed from it's original configuration. While trying to find a solution the question regarding the bootloader was sometimes asked. I don't know if it's locked or not, just that it has never been changed. The current and original OS is a carrier unlocked version. I have never enabled developer settings.
I know this question has been asked before, but I was just too overwhelmed by the number of results and couldn't find the guide for the S8+. I definitely found guides for other models and other brands of phones. I just need a working phone, it doesn't matter if it has root permissions or if the OS is version 1. I can forego the data, and will be happy with any kind of OS. The non-carrier specific would be best, my provider is Docomo. Please, how can I get my phone to boot properly again?
In an attempt to fix this I read through a some guides to flash the OS, most of them require that developer settings and usb debugging be enabled and I have never done that, nor do I know how to enable those without accessing the settings since the phone won't boot. So I didn't do anything beyond reading the directions and I feel stuck. What information can I provide that will help you walk me through to the solution? Thank you and may you have a wonderful day!
Try MXO pie via odin in Sammimobile
What I have:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 device. It has been rooted and unrooted previously, as well as flashed with official samsung stock ROM. I also have just performed a factory reset from recovery mode recently.
What I am trying to do:
I am trying to root it properly and flash LineageOS on it. I am aware as to how to do this based on the guides here, but I run into a problem early on...
Problem:
I cannot seem to enable OEM unlock. It automatically disables right after I try to enable it.
Other potential problem:
When I try reboot to bootloader via adb command ".\adb reboot bootloader", it just restarts my device normally
Question:
If I can connect my device to Odin and attempt to flash LineageOS do I risk bricking my device given it's current circumstance? Or is this all I can try now?
I'll provide any additional information/images if needed. I just feel like I am repeating the same troubleshooting over and over again without any progress.
Thanks
Just ended up doing it assuming that it was unlocked (felt quite risky wiping everything and installing old zips)... Everything seems relatively functional and rooted. I'm a little uncertain whether or not I should update magisk as I don't feel like creating a new problem on it for myself just yet.
Greetings My Brothers. I have a huge Problem. Sometimes ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon Model, thought it will be cool to have such a model, just come to think of it; Snapdragon 820 what else did I wanted again. And the phone started running Berserk. apps downloaded and installed from PlayStore don't work at all even WhatsApp does work properly. The phones freezes all the Time, it overheats all the time. So I made a decision. root, install custom recovery and install Custom Rom like lineage OS. I'm accustom to those stuffs like Odin, download mode, etc. I don't have any problem with a phone stock on boot loop, it's something I have been fixing, so I'm Used to It. My SM-G930V security level is High with its latest android version Oreo, the bootloader is locked. tried to unlock it with ADB and Command Prompt. It was a failure. tried to get some help On YouTube. Failed, all the videos I watched was about SM-G930F none of them talked about SM-G930V, I came across SM-G930V bootloader Unlocking, rooting and custom Rom but, it wasn't compatible with my SM-G930V. So let Me ask You Guys this question. Can I really unlock the bootloader, root the phone and Install a custom recovery, and A custom Rom??? If there is a slight chance or possibility of doing so, please Brothers help me out, because I am unable to use the phone to its full potential. Thanks. Michael.
