Can't Update renovate firmware

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone can help me with my problem. So i did the following:
To get rid of the 7 day Block of oem-unlocking on my s8+ i downgraded back to Nougat. From here on I flashed TWRP + rooted my device with magisk. After That i flashed the RENOVATE_ICE_G95X-7.5 rom + the Flashable_G95xF_FD_Firmware_TWRP_AQL5_r8 Firmware. I've let my Phone start up and went back to TWRP To Update the rom to RENOVATE_ICE_G95X-10.1. To this point everything Worked fine, the Phone Boots completely fine. Now to my problem: im Sitting on the actual stable rom but with the Baseband-version of Nougat which is AQL5. When i try to Flash the actual Firmware (CRC7 or CRD7) via TWRP my Phone gets stuck on the first Samsung Logo and Shows the following red Message: "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed". I would be glad for any help.

If you can find a standalone modem file from the ROM you mentioned you should be able to flash it in TWRP recovery. Last time I did this was on a Note 3. I think that the process should be the same with S8.

Can't seem to find one, but i found out that the same error occurs when installing other custom-roms like the King Oreo Rom which installs the newest Bootloader and Modem via Aroma installer. Only solution after that is to Flash Nougat again via Odin.

Question about RMM State (Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed)

Hello comunity! I'm not getting this thing clear so i wanted to ask some questions.
I followed the steps from this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-t3752492
I decided to install Magisk then when i booted into System i could see that the device was succesfully rooted, but here comes the problem...
I rebooted the device and then after that, the boot screen appears with the message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
I flashed an official Nougat ROM with Odin and then i could boot to system again (I was really worried about having the device as a brick haha), now i waited for the 7 days to have the OEM unlock setting, but i also updated again to Oreo with the official OTA's.
Now my main question is: What i have to do in order to root the device and be able to reboot whenever i want without having this trouble?, I saw that there was a RMM State Bypass that i need to flash after doing all the rooting process but after doing that, will i be able to reboot and not get the message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" anymore? I saw that you need to edit de build.prop file also, but i dont know when.
Thanks in advance!

Same exact problem on my S9.

Stuck on 7 day waiting on OEM Unlock. How to rollback rom with option?

I came from android nougat on my galaxy s8+, however, I wanted to update to oreo, so I flashed it through odin with all the necessary firmware files. I configured it all once after. However, OEM Unlock is missing from the developer options. I've read that you have to wait 7 days for it to appear but I don't have the time to wait as I have some projects to deal with. I'm wondering if I can dirty flash an old rom over stock rom to enable oem unlock through odin since I can't flash through twrp . Once I get the regular rom loaded, I'm going to flash twrp and find a custom rom based off oreo instead. Would be great if someone knows any work around for this.

SM-G955FD upgrade to Pie from 7

hello everyone,
i have S8+ with android 7 installed, not rooted and still didnt get any OTA for either oreo or Pie, so i decided to do it manually but i wanna make sure of the steps since it's been a while for me not flashing anything.
first thing i should know is that this update is going to wipe my phone due to the bootloader update
and about that bootloader update, should i flash pie bootloader first or just flash a stock ROM with odin that includes bootloader file ?
any help with this issue is much appreciated

If you are going to update with Odin flash full firmware. ( 4 files )
As for wiping your phone when you unzip the downloaded firmware there will be 2 CSC files.
CSC - Clean install will wipe your data ( same as factory reset )
Home CSC - Dirty install should keep your data
Always do a backup before doing anything.
Note: Make sure after you upgrade your firmware to update your apps so that they will be comparable with new firmware.

Can only install official binaries message when flashing TWRP with Odin3 on A750FN U4

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install a custom recovery. I had it working a couple months back but wanted to go with official again for dumb reasons and now i want to go back but it won't let me flash TWRP, i can't find a TWRP specifically for this version either. It's Android 10 with March security patch.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

Please only create one thread per topic. I've removed the duplicate thread you started on this topic.
As far as your issue goes, I don't actually know much about Samsung specifics, but I believe that particular message means you haven't unlocked your bootloader. You'll need to do that before you can flash custom stuff.

I had previously installed twrp and was trying custom os until one os (evolution x) for some bricked my phone and i had to flash the stock firmware and after that when i try to re-flash twrp through odin it is saying officail binary can be flashed.

Like I said, I'm not 100% on Samsung shenannigans, but have you checked to verify that you didn't lock the bootloader as a part of flashing the stock firmware?

OEM unlock toggle in Developer's Options

Hi ¡...
1. You have to reinstall via odin the latest version 9 (AP, BL...etc)
2. On reboot do the entire TWPR flashing process for android 9
The current problem is that there is no TWPR for android 10.
Cheers
