HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU :good:​

Thank you so much buddy. I hope it can work with my Korean note 4 n916.
Edit : @ANZIL AKKU it says card not found. I click on retry but nothing happened. I don't know why because I already installed Samsung driver for note 4. I can flash stock rom with Odin and I enabled USB debugging in setting. Please what should I do?

flashing modem should always be possible, you might get no network till you flash correct one, bit i know people using 6.0.1 modem over 7.0 on s7 so might also be fine

I got the error: 'Reading phone info... no answer from phone'...I can do some things such as reading the phone's data (IMEI, Carrier, etc.) but I cannot do something more ....is there a newer version of this method? At least 24.7 I guess, it should work fine with S7s then

SM-J327U(nlocked) variant - unlocked bootloader, what now?

So I just picked this phone up from Best Buy, it was cheap and unlocked. Already have it working with a T-Mobile SIM. I'm somewhat new to Samsung devices, but I'm pretty sure this means it's an unlocked bootloader too.. In Developer Options there is a switch for "OEM unlock," which allowed me to flash TWRP built for the SM-J327P, ending up in a nice bootloop.
Anyway that's not the point, I used Samsung KIES to reflash a stock image and it's back to normal.
Assuming this bootloader is unlocked, what do I need to flash to get root? Does this mean I have to build TWRP myself?

if you want twrp refer to the user ashlyx she is a recognized developer here on xda and she may be more than happy to build twrp for your device. I have the cf_autoroot for your device you can flash with no problem. i will give you the link.

this is the permanent website for all things related to cf_autoroot. the old website is deprecated.

Funny you point me to that site, because I'm the one who uploaded that firmware yesterday. :laugh:
There already were images for the 327T, T1, and some others, but not the U.

You can use J327T one for some strange reason the j327U one doesn't work but if you just boot up into that one it should give you root

Can i flash this firmware on the j327T to bypass Google account FRP just like you can flash SM-950U1 firmware on the SM-950U to do the samething? Just a random thought.

Leagoo S8, ROM and rooting

Hello
So i will get a Leagoo S8 phone next week, switching from a redmi note 3, and i am planing to root it instantly becouse i heard there are some bloatware apps and i will instal a custom rom onto the device.
Upon searching the forums and the interwebs i found no tutorials / resources that would lead me in the right direction. I did find a tutorial for Leagoo M8 ROM on here but will it work on S8?
So i hope anybody here can help me.
Cheers

I have a Leagoo T5c, and I found that option in Developer settings too, so if it is self-explanatory, then bootloader should be unlockable, right? I too would like to root my phone, but contrarily to the S8, that uses a MediaTek SoC, mine uses a brand-new SpreadTrum chip, and I'm not sure it can rooted at the moment.

updated mine from LEAGOO_S8_OS4.0_20171107 to LEAGOO_S8_OS4.0_20180227 and its working fine.
less heat, less lag, camera less grainy indoors (before was grainy but great outdoors, now its both great) curved display was fix(no need for rounder apps) but i was still unable to root the phone (would be great if it was rooted so i can remove apps rather than disable them and tune things up)

found this but not sure if this will work on our devices (leagoo s8,s8 pro) but if you have downloaded the firmware you may flash again if you bricked it. try at your own risked. it says there how to back up root and port twrp for ur device.

can you confirm if the boot-verified.img
inside the firmware of leagoo s8 that i download can be used for magisk to be patch and flash it through adb? thanks

From what Ive found, modifiing any of the boot or recovery files will screw up some verification, then youll have to format and flash the whole rom again possibly getting a NVRAM Warning error. So, does anyone know a way to verify(?) the edited files (boot.img -> build.prop(or default.prop?)), or any workaround? Also, I think that the bootloader kind of worked in the Leagoo OS version that came with the phone (althrough, I tried to unlock the bootloader then, it showed YES/NO and warnings like on any good phone, except that the YES selection did NOTHING, the bootloader stayed locked no matter what), havent you guys by any chance updated from Needrom?(I did) I think that the newer version had removed the bootloader completely. Someone should post the first stock rom version if you have it.

I think that in order to flash any modified files, we need to generate/verify all of the files.
Anyone any ideas? What file/s is/are the key to verifying flash files? Or is there a code somewhere in every flash file (recovery-VERIFIED.img, boot-VERIFIED.img)?
Why is Leagoo so damn good at making those things hard to unlock. As I said before, in the 1. version you could at least access (broken) fastboot, now the phone just turns off when accessing fastboot.

latest firmware with user debug possibly can extract root
latest firmware userdebug..possibly root solution can be extract..

Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock - after regular boot

Hi all,
I have this model
Phone: SM-G955F
Android version: 7.0
Build number: NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQDD
I haven't touched anything or updated anything in at least 6 months and the work has been working fine.
I did update yesterday the "Samsung music" app however, not sure if that has anything to do with my problem.
This morning I got a message "Please restart your device, some apps are overloading the system".
So I did a reboot and now the device won't start.
I hate the red message "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock" and the device stays turned off.
I didn't touch anything, so what on earth caused this?!
OEM Lock appears to be ON. FPR Lock is also ON now.
I had the phone rooted when I bought it but I'm using stock firmware.
Also, haven't had any issues in over 6 months so this I am very curious what could cause this to suddenly happen.
I read some guides that I have to re-flash stock firmware again, but I don't see how that will prevent the issue from happening again
Please help

I downloaded Odin and then what looks like the latest stock firmware.
Not sure how that is going to help. I had stock firmware before too

Hum. What can you boot into, recovery (is it stock recovery)? download mode? will it boot to setup in system, as it should if you have an FRP happening.

I had a nightmare of a day yesterday.
Downloaded the latest stock rom and flashed it using Odin. That worked fine.
Then I added TWRP and the phone got soft-bricked because apparently TWRP is not compatible with any of the latest firmware versions (who knew!)
Then I spent hours looking at hacks and found that Notorious zip that you can flash after getting into TWRP via the old BL/smash Start on Odin trick
Then phone showed verification error with the only option to Wipe all data (which I didn't want to do)
Then I managed to reflash the latest stock rom and leave it unrooted for now.
It's a learning experience but I don't like the high stress levels.
The most important thing is that I did nothing to cause the FPR lock and I'm now afraid it might randomly happen every few months

Generally for the 955F (Exynos, yes?), it's a pretty straight forward process. Yes, you do have to make sure you have the correct TWRP . . .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
once you flash TWRP, right at the end, or just before then end of the flash, press Vol up, Bixby and power to boot directly into TWRP. Should work just fine. If not, usually re-flashing TWRP and a direct boot to recovery works. Sometimes it take a few times to get the key pressing/timing down.
Yeah, you are right, it can feel pretty stressful.

hi, did you finally fix this problem? I have a s9+ stock firm, got TWRP and rooted and has been using it for a couple of months without issue, including reboot. but today I was using a bank app it kept stopping itself, so without further thinking I restarted the phone and got the red FRP lock on the screen. tried getting into TWRP but said it's blocked by FRP lock. then using ODIN I reflashed the same stock firm, got into the phone, everything is there except root, and of course Titanium works no more!
my question is, if anyone is reading this, is the TWRP still there or not? in order to find out I'll have to flip the OEM lock off and tried to get into TWRP, but would that trigger a factory reset? but if the TWRP is not there anymore, in order to root I'll have to do a system wipe. either way it gonna be troublesome. and besides, what's to prevent its happening all over again?
I'd appreciate any help! thanks))

Simple solution to that DONT turn the OEM unlocking OFF
This toggle unlocks the bootloader for use with custom binarys and recoveries such as TWRP toggling the OEM unlocking off will stop any custom recovery from being flashed with odin and will also not allow the custom recovery on it to be booted for security reasons related to the FRP lock
The OEM lock is linked to the FRP lock both are run through the same toggle you would have noticed when you enabled it that a warning message appeared about the device losing all FRP security measures when enabled if you switch this toggle back to off your FRP lock re activates and the custom recovery that is already installed will now be blocked from being used and the system will render it a security issue and will not allow your system to boot,
So again to save you all this trouble in the future DO NOT tuurn off your oem unlock while you have a custom binary installed,
Yes your devices security is gone but this is the cost you pay when you decided you wanted to root your device,
There is an alternative though if you know what your doing enable oem unlock flash TWRP flash your root and what not then when finished if you know how to pull the recovery from stock firmware and make it into a flashable file with odin you can have root and what not and also keep your oem unlock switched to off bu ti strongly suggest do your reaearch if you choose to take this path.
Hope this helps guys

You need to flash the correct bootloader version to your device IE check the binary number on the firmware file and compare to what is listed on download mode
File binarys have the letter U? example is
G930FXXU2ARA1 or G930FXXU3ARA1
Take note of the number
Now in download mode on the device
Find AP SWREV B: ? An example is
AP SWREV B:2 K:0 S:0
The 2 signifies it's a bit 2 bootloader so the firmware package needed for this device would be for example G930FXX"U2"ABCD
all you have to do is match them up,
AP SWREV B1 = U1 or S1
AP SWREV B2 = U2 or S2
AP SWREV B3 = U3 or S3
As for the flash error message " custom binary blocked by frp lock" means someone has tampered with the firmware, I'd assume you didnt get it from sammobile ? or it's not made for model number check the backing to your S7 model number is located at the bottom in small writing
Will be G930"F" for example also compare the letter to the binary file to make sure your flashing the correct model,
Also what version of odin3 are you using to flash as 6.0 to 7.0 binaries can be flashed with V3.12 as the binary files don't use .lz4 compression however 8.0 binaries do use .lz4 compression this is a new type of compression so requires Odin3 3.13.1 as this odin3 has the capabilities to read and flash the .lz4 binaries to the device
And I'm not sure if your aware but the factory binaries dont have OEM unlock in them to remove the FRP however there is a way that I know how to do it on this particular model but it will vary the B:? In download mode and to if a combination rom is available for your binary number COLOR="Silver"]

All good mate , yeah once that OEM unlock is turned back off all security features are re activated that was your problem did you manage to fix it yet if not all you gotta do is flash the stock recovery and you shouldn't lose your data

thanks mate yes I got my data back, but re-root it would mean loosing them so I'm running without the root now. good thing is Netflix, prime vedio, bank stuff are all working, bad thing is no titanium(

You need to flash the correct bootloader version to your device IE check the binary number on the firmware file and compare to what is listed on download mode
File binarys have the letter U? example is
G930FXXU2ARA1 or G930FXXU3ARA1
Take note of the number
Now in download mode on the device
Find AP SWREV B: ? An example is
AP SWREV B:2 K:0 S:0
The 2 signifies it's a bit 2 bootloader so the firmware package needed for this device would be for example G930FXX"U2"ABCD
all you have to do is match them up,
AP SWREV B1 = U1 or S1
AP SWREV B2 = U2 or S2
AP SWREV B3 = U3 or S3
As for the flash error message " custom binary blocked by frp lock" means someone has tampered with the firmware, I'd assume you didnt get it from sammobile ? or it's not made for model number check the backing to your S7 model number is located at the bottom in small writing
Will be G930"F" for example also compare the letter to the binary file to make sure your flashing the correct model,
Also what version of odin3 are you using to flash as 6.0 to 7.0 binaries can be flashed with V3.12 as the binary files don't use .lz4 compression however 8.0 binaries do use .lz4 compression this is a new type of compression so requires Odin3 3.13.1 as this odin3 has the capabilities to read and flash the .lz4 binaries to the device

Yep sweet also what region are you in also so I can make sure the firmwares modem is also region appropriate as they all run on different frequencies other than that that's all the info I need my friend product name is model number you have the same model as me I have G930F also give me two seconds and I'll get the link for you for the correct firmware, as for frp lock your very much quite lucky the warranty void is only "warranty void 1 (0×030c)
If it were : 1 (0×500b) youd be royally screwed for some reason combination roms will not boot on any Knox tripped S7 with : 1 (0×500b) but will boot on any Knox tripped device with : 1 (0×030c) I know this as I have a variety of S7 as I run a phone repair shop and have tested on tripped devices with Knox tripped as both

Hey mate no it will 100% work just select your country all firmware from sammobile is guaranteed to be 100% official I use them myself, the only thing however is you need to make an account but the good news its 100% free to make an account but then there another little downfall download speeds are a little slow in free subscription but well worth the wait as I guarantee it will work

OK someone please help. I'm having this same issue, except I got a galaxy s6, however when I boot into download mode and plug cable up it recognizes the driver as a modem or sometimes I get it to show up in ports but its named USB serial device, so I'm unable to flash anything through odin. I tried plugging my wife's galaxy s7 up to PC through download mode and her phone doesn't even show up as a USB diagnostic port....I'm seriously stumped on this and having a hell of a time trying to find any info on this My dumbass had stay awake checked at the time and when I went to turn it off I must have accidently unchecked the OEM unlock option resulting in.....a good headache lol....thanks for ur time guys.

Hey mate i run a phone repair shop it's got nothing to do with the phones it's the computer or drivers
#1 What version of Odin are you using, you should be using the latest I use 3.13.1 as it supports new .lz4 compression for 8.0 oreo firmware,
#2 did you install the latest Samsung drivers.exe because if you didnt the information is not on your computer to read samsungs devices all the information to communicate to the device is stored in these drivers,
If you havent this is your problem, go to Google type in "latest Samsung USB driver.exe download" or check the forums here for it also, download it and simply open the exe and install the drivers,
Reboot and now try, if you still have the same issue what USB cord are you using, try an original Samsung USB cable or decent branded one,
If there error still persists what version of windows are you using,
Thanks

Xiaomi mi 10 lite youth edition/zoom

Hi, Guys
I got a Xiaomi Mi 10 LITE YOUTH EDITION better known as the ZOOM EDITION in China, The reseller flash a EEA Global ROM on it but the camera on this version does not seem to work properly due to the fact that it's got a 50x zoom lens, so I wanted to flash the original CHINA ROM that came with the device! So by mistake I flashed and locked the bootloader at the same time! The image did not take and the bootloader is locked, only to get a message This MIUI version is not compatible on this device! Weird because it is a CHINESE ROM that needs to be on the device!
Long story short I am stuck in Mi recovery Mode and can only use Fastboot as well! When I try to unlock the bootloader it says please switch on device and go to developer settings and select Unlock status. (Which I cannot do now)
Is there anyway to unlock my bootloader besides opening the deivce or paying some random person to access my computer and hopefully fix it!
Am I screwed now?
Some help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

you can try Xiaomitool v2 and choose the 2nd option : my device is bricked, i want to unbrick it.

Hello
You have to use the "miflash" software and flash the original rom I give you the link (https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.3.0...VCNXM_20200620.0000.00_10.0_cn_cd89596665.tgz) you have to download it, decompress it and then put it in the software, put your phone in fastboot mode and click on " flash" sometimes it's long, you have to let the phone turn on again, and then you can unlock your bootloader Good luck

Hi, Im interested in purchasing this Zoom/Youth versión, where did you take It, please?

Yes but the bootloader is locked so I cannot install software! I was told to open the phone and do test point install

If reseller flashed your device before it means your device was unlocked. I bought my device from eBay. It was unlocked and it was advertised like Chinese version of Global ROM , camera was not working properly as your one. So I used my computer to install Android adb,TWRP and I flashed my phone with TWRP recovery from the xiaomi.eu site. Your device name is vangogh. Good luck.

Try to use Miflash tool and find Chinese original ROM for your device (Mi 10 lire Youth Edition - vangogh is a code name) flash it in Fastboot mode, then unlock it (you have to sign up for Xiaomi account to do this) it might take some time. After that you can try to flash it via TWRP
