Samsung Galaxy S6 (sprint variant) failed firmware flash FAC LOCK

Let me start by addressing I know this isn't the sprint thread but there's a lot more development here which equals more help. Plus this issue seems to be able to happen to any variant.
Second, this isn't my device I'm trying to see if it can be fixed for a friend. I'm not that familiar with Samsung devices but I have been able to get them working in the past via Odin or kies but this time I need some help.
So this is what's going on, my friend recently rooted his S6(SM-920P) not sure which method he used (don't think it matters at this stage) and was on stock rom (LP5.0.2) with xposed framework installed. He hadn't changed the kernel AFAIK oh but I did install TWRP for him and everything was working. Long story short he woke up a couple days ago to his phone being unable to turn back on. I told him how to get to download mode and I asked him what did it say on the top left corner it said something like "system binary not SEandroid locked" underneath that it said fac lock
So I had him give me the phone thinking somehow it did a OTA update while he was asleep or something either way I was confident using Odin to flash the firmware would solve the issue. Had the firmware finished flashing I'm confident it would have but halfway through Odin simply froze on installing system. I figured its just gonna take a while 45 mins later it was still stuck at the same spot.
Not really thinking about it I figured I will just reboot the phone back into download mode restart the process it should be fine. Not a good idea. Now all I get is a green screen saying to access the smart switch emergency recovery system. But it gets better.
My computer isn't recognizing the device now. I installed smart switch software and it's not recognizing it. I even installed Kies and it's not recognizing either.
Is his phone toast or what? I tried emergency system recovery but I need the S/N of his phone to possibly get this thing working again, but it boot into anything anymore except the screen that says Samsung switch...
PLEASE HELP ME if it's bricked it's bricked I get that but if there's a way to figure out what to do I'm all ears. Thanks in advance

[HELP] S6 frozen at logo screen(not REALLY a bootloop but still does). MORE INFO

Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I
Version Lollipop 5.1.1
Long story - My S6 suddenly died. When I tried to turn it on, it would turn on with the logo screen " Samsung Galaxy S6" and freeze right there and then after probably 30 seconds it goes black and then the logo again; forever and ever until the battery goes flat. Doing the physical button combinations did not work. FLASHING STOCK ROM DOES NOT WORK EITHER(and yes I did check that it is the right ROM) I'm able to go into download mode but the thing is:
Since my phone died SUDDENLY:
- DEVELOPER OPTIONS IS NOT TURNED ON
USB Debugging shouldn't have been on.
-I don't know but something to do with turning off OEM unlocking? and/or any other knox or something that blocks rooting, installing recovery etc.
Because of this, when I tried installing TWRP recovery or SpaceX kernel, it says "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
Tried searching up Google but only came with one English post and did not get much info out of it. The rest were about FRP etc and the way they had it was different from mine.
So now my phone is stuck. Any help? I don't mind voiding my warranty so go ahead with crazy methods that might work.
TL;DR
S6 suddenly dies, frozen at logo screen. Developer options is not enabled> USB DEBUGGING not enabled. Flashing STOCK ROM doesn't work. No recovery. Installing TWRP or SPACEX KERNEL is "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
Any help?
***EDIT***
DOWNLOAD MODE DOES WORK***

[Q] Bricked/Bootlooped my phone "FRP LOCK"

I bricked/bootlooped my phone.
I've been using Superman ROM v2.4.1 for a while, but recently my Snapchat stopped working and I couldn't pass the SafetyNet, so I tried to fix it.
I turned off my developer options, and downloaded this App: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2524485
My phone warned me this App might be harmful but I ignored it, and then changed the setting to permissive and then enfordcing a couple times. Then I rebooted my device, now it is stuck in a loop. It doesnt go beyond the 'Samsung Galaxy S7" logo and just turns off after that.
I cannot boot into recovery either, only download mode.
When i try to boot up or into recovery, it says on the top of the screen in red text "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock".
Can anyone help me? I have a flight in the morning so I really need this fixed. Is this caused by the App I used to change the SELinux Mode? Or is it because Developer options and hence OEM Unlocking is turned off in the settings?
What can I do to fix this?
Cheers
Dear Sir just Flash with stock firmware be sure u are using latest one to revive phone back to life.
thanks
FRP locked and cannot load stock FW
I'm having the same issue as theDroidfanatic, but i cannot flash the stock FW.
I have a Samsung S7 edge, running Superman, i believe marshmallow (i don't recall the exact version).
I accidentally enabled the OEM lock in the phones settings.
On trying to boot normally, I see the superman startup screen, and the FRP message across the top of the screen in red. "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock"
I can only boot into download mode.
Odin (3.12.7 and 3.12.3) can detect the phone being plugged in (so i think this system has the correct drivers, and my cables/ports are good).
I downloaded the latest FW from sammobile.com for the MTA region (its a Canadian MTS phone).
I load all of the files into Oden and everything appears fine. When i try to start the transfer it hangs at SetupConnection. Ah hour later, its still hanging there.
I've tried 2 PCs, and about a dozen USB cables; same result every time.
Its been a while since i played with rom stuff, am i missing something somewhere?
## EDIT
## Above represents 8+ hours of frustration;
## below, 20 minutes on a hunch and some dumb luck;
## proving that sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
For anyone else having similar issues:
After installing Kies (on Windows 10; which required a Microsoft Virtual C++ pack for Kies to install), Kies installed a different USB driver.
Odin did not show any difference regarding seeing the phone. After the new driver was installed, Odin is now able to flash stock FW.
Did you manage to repair your phone. My note 9 don’t show up on my laptop usb not recognised
I had similar issue when i was trying to install firmware while developer mod was was disabled (in my Note 5). FRP lock was ON, then it got bricked. I gave my phone to a local phone repair shop, they have some technology to bypass FRP lock by using FRP bypass box.

S6 can't boot recovery or recovery. In bootloop. Has Reactivation lock on!

One day, my phone just suddenly froze. Gave it a day to be left alone and it probably ran out of battery. Upon charging and trying to turn it on, it gets in a bootloop. It is NOT even getting past the very first logo at the start. It just shows "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered by android" then freezes there.
I boot it into download mode and was unable to flash ROMs, Recoveries or Kernels. It has Reactivation Lock on!
"Custom Binary blocked by RL"
I gave up after this, but then I came back after months. I want to see if I can bring this phone back to life again. I've recently found this video where it has Odin 3.11 that had an option to disable Reactivation Lock!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt3VM3nd02U
I tried flashing TWRP and SpaceX kernel and it worked! It said pass, I saw the download bar in my phone fly across to completion and it did not show Custom Binary blocked by R/L again! Okay so... What now? It's stuck at the very same boot logo freeze. I STILL can't boot into TWRP recovery. I cant do anything. Is it HardBricked? Is it something to do with my EFS or Partition or whatever? Please help.

J700F Black Screen

Hello, what could be the cause of the black screen? I can manage to boot it up to recovery mode(TWRP) but after a few seconds it goes into black screen. Same goes after seeing the samsung logo. I can't seem to boot into odin mode as I tried multiple times it only shows the samsung logo and then boots into samsung logo again. I also tried connecting it into the computer but the device won't show up even though I unlocked the oem. When charging it shows the battery indicator fine. It shows error on the upper left: Custom Binary blocked by frp lock. what can I possibly do to make it work again? Thanks! It's on custom rom: onkiller-os v2.0 final and custom recovery: twrp 3.4.0.
The oem Unlocking gets enabled sometimes if your battery runs out.
try flashing the stock rom again, it can help sometimes. it happened once to me as well. My phone died once bcuz the battery ran out and somehow oem unlocking got reenabled

Click to collapse
Thanks for the reply. ah, But the oem is enabled and can I flash the stock rom without accessing odin mode? I can't seem to boot into it.
Boot into download mode, by pressing power, home and volume down button
Try that
