Hi a few months ago I switched from global to eu after some time I wanted to update miui to a newer version but an error appeared (check ss) I've already installed a few twrp, including the latest and several recovery versions available on the forum (orangefox)
Can somebody help me?
Did you format data before installing?
Yes i did it
Maybe you can try a fresh install with a miui 12 fastboot rom .
@alibei I will try and speak up

Hello, I found a solution to my problem, so if we have a screen lock (pattern / fingerprint), you should turn off the lock in time, it is a security that "prevents" deleting data from our phone. I personally do not believe that such a screen lock is able to prevent theft of the phone with an unlocked bootloader but somehow it works, also the update installed, you can close the topic

Hello everybody,
I usually find my answers in the specific phone related forums. But this time I'm stuck.
A friend of mine bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700F to be specific) in India. After using his phone there he came back home to Israel.
His phone didn't worked here for some reason and he went to a phone lab which flashed his ROM to stock Israel ROM.
They called him in the middle of the process and asked him what was his Google account thet he signed to while the first setup. Unfortunately, he cant remember his email address.
I took the phone to try bypassing the frp lock.
After a small search I realized I need an otg cable, which I bought.
I received the cable (1.5 mounths wait) and tried the otg cable method with no success.
After some experiments I successfully managed to open the settings menu. Pressed factory data reset and after a restart it stopped on recovery menu with the yellow message "dm-verity verification failed".
Well, this is annoying. I realized I need to flash the stock ROM again(Dated 01/16). So I did And the message dissapperd.
Back to the FRP lock issue. I did the process again and it didn't stopped in the recovery mode this time and I could see the Android logo with a little erasing.. Under it. Finally I thought.
I was wrong.
The FRP lock is still there! Dammit.
It is time to pull the big guns.
I thought I will flash the OLDER version of the stock ROM. Dated 09/2015 I Understand google updated the FRP lock protection on January 2016. Is the downgrade OK? I don't know if a downgrade is possible on Samsung phone.
And if you have an idea how to bypass this. Please share it.
Thank you so much!

Hi everybody,
I was recently trying to update my phone so I did this by wiping the partitions and flashing the latest OS using HWOTA. I kinda messed this up and tried to fix it and basically dug myself a massive hole trying to fix a minor mistake.
Eventually I made the mistake of factory resetting it. Now I am at a stage where I have no TWRP and my bootloader shows its unlocked (shows Phone unlocked and "oem get-bootinfo" shows unlocked) but does not allow me to run commands that I should. FRP shows as unlocked on fastboot and in developer settings.
I would simply try to unlock my bootloader again using oem unlock with my unlock code however I was silly enough to not save my code from DC Unlocker. I would get my code by setting my phone to manufactor mode etc, however its messed up so that most the default software is not included, including the ProjectMenu, and even a default keyboard (only includes Googles Voice keyboard).
Is it possible to get this menu back or is there anything I can do to restore my phone to have TWRP on it?
I tried installing the ProjectMenu APK but that fails and I don't know how to install the files in "update_data_full_public". I have messed with my phone a lot to try and fix it, including using the erecovery to try and flash many various updates, rolled it back, and flashing it after that to no avail.
There's a lot that I have done that is not included so if theres any questions, please ask.
Thanks
Phone is FRD-L09 C432

Have you simply tried to use eRecovery? Did you still have it?

Yes, I have tried using the dload method multiple times with different firmwares, the "Download and install via wifi" method which fails as it says it cannot find anything for my phone, as well as trying through HiSuite when in fastboot. This also says it can't find any package for my phone. Very weird to be honest.
Also tried factory reset, settings reset (from advanced menu in settings), and wiping cache.
Also tried to go back to Android 6 using this method: https://www.stechguide.com/downgrade-honor-8-from-nougat-to-marshmallow/ and that failed ):
Ok, so I used this tutorial ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/b399-flash-via-dload-mode-t3716885 which is yours) and it actually flashed and upgraded the phone. ProjectMenu still wasn't working so updated from the settings as one appeared. Phone is now on C432 B404.
Project menu still doesn't work along with some default apps not being installed such as Clock.
It seems like all the files I need is in the "update_data_full_public" update zip including the project menu apk. Does anyone know how to flash everything in this file as just installing the apk fails?
I tried putting it in to dload file but that just files as there is no update.app.
Greetings, ever since i tried rooting my phone, i knew something went wrong (i used cf autoroot).
So the first thing i noticed, i was asked to reset the phone or something similar to that, meaning i would lose all my data.
I tried to find a workaround as this had never happened to me before while rooting a phone, and someone had said that i was supposed to download twrp
and change some partition and then change it back. I dont remember what else he mentioned and what exactly i tried doing, i realised it was formatted either way and i had to start fresh. As i setup my phone i went and switched the oem unlock back to "off", as i did not wanna attempt to root again, but i hadn't realised that my phone was infact rooted sucessfully, leading me to my first error after restarting. "Custom binary blocked by frp lock", with absolutely no access to recovery mode at all anymore. Again, trying to find a workaround, i download some stockfirmware that i atleast had hoped was the right one for my phone, after a couple failed attempts of flashing with odin, ( i had gotten various different error messeges on download mode screen such as (REV Check fail device 7 binary 0 and others witch i cannot remember), now im getting a new error screen, stating that an error has occured while updating the device software. I cant flash twrp recovery as the frp lock is on, and the only thing i can guess is that im flashing the wrong firmware, but i cant find a matching code at all.
Its the following: sm-g930fzkadbt
IMEI: 35214310282955
on the back of the phone it says uk yateley, although the phone was purchased in germany.
Im not sure what to do anymore, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I have managed to get back to the old error screen with the custom binary info, this time with bootloop, by checking the deviceinfo box on odin
Yep you've now learned the hard way not to mess about and read the proper guides.
Anyway "dbt" is just unbranded german firmware. Download UK "BTU" and flash with Odin, it's UK unbranded.
FRP lock means you'll need to unlock the phone with the google account and password that was on it before you started messing about with it.
If you don't know the google email and password you need to read up on how to bypass FRP lock and it's a nightmare.

Thanks for your reply, just a question, will any btu update work? Should i download latest android version btu firmware?
(Also yes, it was stupid of me to try and do it quick but i had rooted 3 different samsung galaxy phones in the past without issues, either i did something wrong or it took something way too specific to do the job, perhaps the phone's unrootable, but thank you either way) :fingers-crossed:

You'll likely only find the last version of BTU think it was August 2019. It isn't updated officially anymore but it'll be fine to use.

OK so i thought it worked but i can only enter recovery mode now and download mode, but cant actually boot the system, it just boots up the battery screen whenever i plug the charger, and never shows the actual battery info, just the thunder icon. Formatting from recovery mode doesn't help either (Note whenever i launch recovery mode it says installing update, then says no command and brings me to the recovery menu) Any ideas?
PS: It fixed itself. Sorry for the pointless edit.
Greetings. After trying Derpfest on my Redmi Note 7 Pro, I decided to switch back to MiUI. I wiped out the entire Custom ROM, then installed Indian version firmware, and then installed the latest MiUI ROM in recovery mode (I prefer Orange Fox). After that, I wanted to relock my bootloader so I got the latest MiUI 11 fastboot ROM and then used MiFlash and used the clean_all_and_lock option. My device relocked it's bootloader, however, it turned out that several things like sensors or Find Device service were not working correctly. It also showed a message "Find device storage corrupted, your device is now unsafe". Looking for solutions, I ended up unlocking the bootloader again, getting back OFox, and installing the persist.img file which I extracted from my fastboot ROM. This fixed the issue with the sensors. But now, I still can't get access to services like Find Device (both from Xiaomi and Google). If I have to avoid the 'Find Device Storage corrupted' error, I have to unlock bootloader. If I have to lock bootloader, I get the error message. What am I supposed to do?
I also have tried older Fastboot ROMs, although they were all MiUI 11. Should I try fastbooting into a MiUI 10 ROM and then get OTA to do everything else? If this is the case, which specific version of MiUI 10 ROM should I flash? I can't remember which version my phone came with. My model number M1901F7S. And also, I've never used Magisk. I didn't really care if I wanted to root or not. Derpfest passed Safetynet pretty nicely. But now I do not wish to root. I don't want Magisk or anything else, I want to secure the phone just as it was before.
EDIT : Turns out that Find Device (from both Google and Xiaomi) are actually working, just in a less effective scale than what I previously used to have (before getting the custom ROM). But yet, can I bring my phone back to the locked bootloader state? I want to secure it completely, just like how it was when it came out of the box. I also cannot install apps like Netflix. I would really like to know how to relock my bootloader.
EDIT 2: I've fixed it. Indeed, I had to flash a stock MiUI 10 ROM. Version 10.0.2 and whatever number ahead worked for me and gave me no problems, and then I simply updated to MiUI 11 using OTA Updates.
However, I do not recommend using MiFlash tool, and instead recommend pasting the ROM files into your platform_tools folder and then running flash_all_lock/flash_all. MiFlash may sometimes glitch and cause problems.
I installed XQ-AS52_58.1.A.5.530_Customized EEA via NevFlasher and I have only information on the screen when I want to turn on the phone:
"You device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot". Somebody know how to fix this or what couses the problem?
I go back to android A12 (using NewFlasher) and phone is working but I want to install A11.
I have tried downloading ROM second time and use XQ-AS52_58.1.A.5.330, the same problem. I can't even boot to recovery in A11.
need to disable roll-back protection
It's the same as disabling Google verification (by removing google acount) or I have to do something else? I searched online but did not find anything specific.
you can learn how to do that in newflasher thread.
