Hello,
I wonder if someone would help me FRP unlock my phone. It is a T-mobile sm-J700t 2015. I have searched the forum but don't see a clear answer.
I have tried (from Youtube) the USB cable method, the camera method and flashing the 10/2016 stock firmware through ODIN. In Odin I get an error: "Complete(Write) operation failed". I cannot turn on USB debugging of course because I cannot get into the device. Haven't tried updating with Kies yet because I'm nervous they'll patch any additional back doors I could try.
I am somewhat experienced at flashing and such and I think there must be a way to completely wipe the device and flash new firmware but I don't see instructions for that.
Thanks in advance!
Odin v3.10.7 & v3.12.3
Recovery: Haven't changed
USB installed from Samsung Kies (made sure Kies isn't running)
Firmware: J700TUVU2APJ3_J700TTMB2APJ3_TMB.tar.md5
Where I got firmware: https://qc3.androidfilehost.com/dl/...224401143/J700TUVU2APJ3_J700TTMB2APJ3_TMB.zip
Anyone? Still locked out of my phone. :crying:
Reboot normaly > go to settings > developer setting > oem unlock check yes
#gggirlgeek
Reboot normaly > go to settings > developer setting > oem unlock > check yes
I can't get into the phone at all. It is FRP (Google) locked because I did a factory reset from recovery. I can only manipulate it from PC or stock recovery. I have ADB, Odin and Samsung Kies on my PC if that helps.
What is the reason I am getting the ODIN error: "Complete(Write) operation failed"? Is it due to the FRP lock?
If not, would flashing the same stock firmware even help? (I have read that it's not possible to flash older firmware versions.)
Is the boot partition where the FRP status is stored? Is it possible to flash a new boot image to reset it?
I assume flashing a custom recovery would be useless? I doubt it could be done without USB debugging/ADB being enabled anyway.
One of the reason for that odin error is flashing an old build of stock ROM, your guess is right
Even if you are able to flash a stock FW via ODIN you'll still not be able to boot to your OS.
You have to login using the same google id that was previously logged in
OR you have to bypass the Google Account Login Screen.
There are varous method on youtube (i know you saw them) to bypass that screen (Side Sync method worked for me at the 10th attempt) inorder to install a 3rd party app either to
1. enable the developer option or enable OEM unlock ( to flash custom ROM or custom recovery)
OR
2. to overwrite the previous google account saved with your new account details. (THIS ONE HELPED ME)
WITH FRP LOCK ON, ODIN SHOULD NOT GIVE YOU ERROR ONLY IF YOU ARE FLASHING STOCK ROM. BUT STILL YOU WILL BE LOCKED WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNT LOGIN SCREEN BECAUSE OF FRP LOCK ON AND STOCK ROM
FRP info. is saved in Sboot. Flashing a new sboot works only for devices those were never upgraded to Android 6. For J7 2015 that was upgraded to android 6, flashing Sboot bricks the phone as said by a cell phone repair agent

@saddam.khan999 : Thank you so much for replying. This is helpful. :highfive:
What did you do to get the sidesync to work? Mine wouldn't even connect to Sidesync on my PC.
Tried different USB ports, and even different PC's to get it to pop up on the phone. Tried old usb drivers too. Sidesync never senses it, and My Computer only show MTP folder that won't accept any file pasted to it.
You did this with Android 6.0.1 October 2016 update? They fix more holes every time.
Also, can you give me the link to the unlock tutorial you used with Sidesync? Just want to compare my method.

I tired two different tutorials of SideSync to crack it. Once I reach home in the next 10 hours from now. I'll search on youtube and give u the links. Right now I cannot remember it.

I followed below step to fix popup issue
1. Uninstall all samsung apps like, Kies, SmartSwitch, SideSync everything.
2. Uninstall Samsung USB drivers
3. Install SmartSwicth (to get best drivers)
4. Now install SideSync (latest)
5. Open SideSync and check for OTA updates in your PC (update it if available)
I give up. I'm going to pay somebody. He can use one of those low-level programs to unlock it remotely. It only costs $15. Well worth it. Wish me luck!

Saw a same issue please check & follow this steps if it helps you some way.
Download the latest samfirm tool available on xda.
Open the samfirm tool. Enter model and region. Tick Auto and binary nature.
Click on Check update. It will show the latest firmware available on samsung server.
Then click on download. It will download four file full firmware. Then flash it through odin.
You need a strong internet connection to download the file.

Not so simple.
During FRP Lock you are restricted to the google sign in page, locked out of everything else. Cannot even pull down the status bar. So no way to get to settings.
This can be done via ADB , but only if you had USB Debugging enabled prior.
I just obtained a used J7000T1 and FRP lock is activated , Even on the bootloader it displays "FRP Locked" . USB Debugging was never enabled .
If I find a way , I'll post. Any one have luck yet?
Once " FRP Locked " is off the bootloader, I'm sure we can just load a recovery / rom via Odin .... But that's where I am a stuck of course.

I had this happen last Feb when I got the phone and was trying to install twrp, and it says frp lock when I tried flashing the recovery tar via odin. I literally took out the battery rebooted back into the OS and turned on oem unlock and USB Debugging and it was fine then when I flashed twrp. I have never heard of this other issue u speak of. The phone has an unlocked bootloader to begin with. If u are stuck in a Google sign in page, I would download the Samsung z3 tool and make sure u have drivers installed and unlock the frp that way.it does have an option for frp lock

Thanks.
Drivers are installed.
Just cannot move from the google sign in.
There is a guide that shows how to use a USB drive with a shortcut apk on it , hooked up via OTG and is able to open settings. Although that did not work for me as well...
Maybe N version is different than MM ?
Almost the same problem here.....but in my j700f, I can't boot to recovery at all...can't flash stock firmware also due frp locked
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" & Odin/PC won't recognize the device
Okay so,
My phone has been rooted for a year, I disabled OEM Unlock by accident, my antivirus was always telling me its unsecure with this feature on and to 'click here' to disable it.. I forgot how important this was to have enabled while rooted and ended disabled it and that night rebooting my device.
I get this error when trying to boot my device:
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock"
I have the original stock firmware, and Odin and want to reset the phone but when I plug this device in ( while in download mode ) > the windows PC doesn't recognize it (no new device sound or any change in devicemanager) and therefore odin isn't recognizing anything either - - I can grab my other 2nd-device and boot it into download mode, plug it into the same setup and boom > recognized and 'Ready!' Status in odin almost immediately so I don't think it's my PC or the cables -- I don't think 1st-device has usb debugging enabled either and I'm not sure how to proceed ...
any help is much appreciated ...
Try to use Smart Switch (from Samsung website), which also has the latest drivers, to recover your phone. (Google "how to recover with smart switch")
Alright,
Forgot to mention I tried Samsung Kies but cannot find the serial number on the device, I'll give Smart Switch a try this evening on my other PC and report back... hopefully that PC recognizes it, my tablet connects to this laptop but not the phone.. could USB debugging being disable cause this?
How close to bricked is this?
I'm such a fool!
Thanks for the feedback so far..
Hi boot tar flash odin frp lock of after stock rom flash
I went through this a few weeks back. I found my serial number (was a sticker originally on back of phone) and used smart switch to recover firmware. Then enabled developer options, oem unlock, flash TWRP thru ODIN etc etc.
So if I find the serial number, I save it .. good to know, thanks!

Hey man, im having the exact same issue with my S7 edge.
So I got my IMEI number, and with my number I went to imei. info / and I got my serial number through a warranty check through the site, you have to register to do it.
I used Smart Switch and I get an error when trying to use the emergency recovery "Model number cannot be initialized"
I'm also getting the error on my PC when trying to connect my device to odin saying that "USB device cannot recognize" and with that I cannot flash the stock firmware on the device.
So if you have gotten any solution to the FRP lock please let me know.
Serial number is engraved on back cover next to the imei number -,- @samuraichick0n about "Model number cannot be initialized" try to write it in diffrent forms eg. G935f or SM-G935f uppercase or lowercase.

PC doesnt want to recognize my device, so Odin doesn't pick it up.
Try it with other usb cable. What is given together with the charger is incongruent, it happened to me, the same problem. (galaxy s6, s7)
And you need the newest odin. Excuse me my crappy English.

Also a PSA: Smart Switch removed the recovery option for phones, you are ONLY able to get a recovery with the code from a previous backup.

Hello, after exhausting all options I had to take the device to Samsung themselves - eventually they had to replace the motherboard on the phone to fix it.
So check if your phone is under warranty and take it in.
I fixed this when I first rooted by flashing the stock bootloader, firmware etc everything through odin
Thanks

get a fresh DL of your firmware from a reputable source and reflash it in Odin, if that doesnt work, get a fresh DL of Odin. I use sammobile.com/firmwares for my FW's and i use samfirm to download them as they literally go 4 to 5x faster on Frija or SamFirm. Frija and SamFirm are damn near the exact same thing, so its a eenie meenie miney moe thing there. But for sure use one or the other unless you dont care about a 20 min disparity LoL
if the flash with fresh FW and fresh Odin downloads dont work, try a different cable. Then a different computer. I have 7 computers and for whatever reason, one of my lappys just wont link with the target devices very well... not sure why... im sure i just havent made the proper sacrifices to the USB gods on that particular machine. purported deities aside, literally all of whose things could be the culprit... well.... minus the USB gods one, of course

Hi, I'm new here, basically I made this account just to get help. I have the same issue, I bought my S8+ back in 2018 and never received OTA updates automatically, it's still in Nougat. Recently I decided to update the OS to Android 9 based off of Sammobile, the model number is SM-G955FD, in the Service Provider SW ver. it shows SM-G955F only(is this an issue?). I dowloaded the latest firmware for SM-G955FD with csc XTC. Now there is the other thing where the volume up button isn't working due to water getting inside, it still works. The key combination can only get me to recovery mode same with ADB, when I try to reboot to bootloader(OEM unlocked) my phone just restarts, same with ADB reboot bootloader, when I do ADB fastboot it gives a blank response. That being said I can't proceed to flash with Odin, I'm thinking of using ADB sideload but I don't know where to find the zip file or whether it's the same one I downloaded from Sammobile(pretty sure it's not).

in cases such as yours with micro usb equipped samsungs in the past, there was a jig that you could plug in and it would automatically put t he phone into download mode. All the jig did was provide 300k ohms of resistance between 2 of the jumpers inside the micro usb port. I wasnt able to find a type c jig, but there are type c test boards that basically expose every pin in the cable into a nice wide board thatll allow for easy connection between 2 of the jumpers by hand to test it out. I did read somewhere that the newer ones require 301k ohms, but its hard to say. The usb port board is 13 bucks and a resistor is gonna be less than a buck. Maybe worth a shot since the micro usb jigs were gold
also, the only difference between the F and FD firmwares is the D is for dual sim
ich have same problem
Edit: It seemed as it solved itself, look in the replies for details
So i have had my gs7 rooted for a year or longer. Yesterday i rebooted my phone and got the error message "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". Sadly, when i enter download mode and plug it into a pc with odin installed, it is not recognised. Odin does not say anything about a phone plugged in, and windows says the usb is not recognized.
What i think have caused this:
I downloaded an app that allowed me to record internal audio
I turned off developer options, and my stupid ass did not realize that is where oem unlock is located.
What i have tried:
Resetting to factory settings (from recovery mode)
Deleting cache (from recovery mode)
Using odin, but odin does not even recognize my phone
Tried using another computer with odin
tbh, looking at the other posts, i think i messed up. I dont want to send it in for repairing because i will have to pay a lot of money. I have tried sending it in for repairing a while ago. Then my problem was that i could not call with it, but they wanted me to pay the price for a new phone to repair my old phone, since i had rooted it. I did not accept it so i got my phone back, and managed to fix the issue myself. I hope i manage to fix the issue this time aswell.

I have samsung usb drivers installed, and download mode has always been working and has always been recognized by odin ever since this happened. And online all i find is that i should boot into download mode and try using odin, but odin does not recognize my phone, nor does my computer.

Please pay attention to guides when messing about with your phone, OEM and Debugg are critical to being able to modify.
Look here for a solution.

SOLVED!
The issue fixed itself, im not sure what i did. I was suddenly able to connect my phone to odin. Just incase someone reads this with the same problem. This is what i did: installed smart switch and rebooted my computer. Uninstalled and reinstalled samsung usb drivers.
Before i did those things the issue was still there, i was ready to use smart switch, but i tried odin one last time and it worked. Now samsung pass tells me my phone is rooted, even though it is not (my root dissapeared after resetting my phone), its not that big of an issue, just thought id let you know

I think you can just use the official OEM unlock too app to one-step unlock the BL....
asus bootloader unlock tool apk. I tried maybe 20 times and it didn't work

I did not understand anything.
OEM unlock does not visible in developer options. I cannot enter the bootloader in the recovery menu. asus unlock tool.apk doesn't work.

This device does not have OEM unlock. Contact ASUS to try and resolve the issue with the unlock app but I suspect you have a converted phone that is getting rejected by the ASUS side. Attempting too fix it yourself will involve amending some device parameters, I think someone has added some notes somewhere on the forums here..
I made a comment on asus zentalk. I've been waiting for a week, no answer. There are 20 moderators, but one person is not responding. a disgraceful place.
Hey man i went to the internet cafe yesterday to install raw firmware. I downloaded win10 asus qualcom usb drivers , downloaded usb minimal android sdk, pressed the volume up power button, the computer did not see my phone on the start screen, I tried many times and it didn't work.
The computer sees the phone without entering the start screen. I even copied 40 movies to the phone. but every time I press the volume up/power button the computer does not see the phone when the start screen comes up.

It had HTC, Samsung, Xiaomi. I switched to ASUS. maybe my version is cn but the chinese changed it to ww! I didn't know it was like this i wouldn't have bought this phone had I known.
How do I get out of this job? I risk losing imei and more. maybe my device will be hard bricked. Flashing raw software takes a lot of effort. first of all, my computer doesn't see my device on the start screen, I couldn't even take a step. I unlocked the bootloader hundreds of times on my previous phones. I rooted hundreds of times , I installed custom roms hundreds of times,. but I could not progress even one step on the Asus phone.

Suggest using the orginal Andrid driver directly from Google. There is no specific ASUS drivers needed for this device although the one in your link may work too. And yes, you do need to sort out your driver before you can flash from PC to the device with Fastboot commands.

Ok
Hi, your device seems to be a converted chinese version (with Tencent Games on the back) so you need to use this method to spoof the region if your phone and force the bootloader unlock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...the-bootloader-of-your-rog-phone5-5s.4371255/
Saying and complaining ain't gonna help you out.
Lost people don't wanna reply as this is covered many times and can be found with search option on this forum.
Anyway his is relevant info for you :
1: The usb c port needed to use to flash etc in bootloader mode is on the side, NOT the bottom one.
2 : if option 1 this Still not working add device manual in driver section of computer, then is driver problem.
3: adb drivers/software/map with adb commands etc needs to be present on computer, or commands will not be executed correctly and give error.
4: of you have a Chinese phone CN FW that is flashed with the WW firmware, you will get problems, only way to solve this is to use correct firmware on device and upgrade.
This is also covered in a big topic on this forum.
5: of you need to go to a internet cafe do to flashing and install firmware, and you had Samsung xaomi etc and can't work this out yourself or Ith search option, o ask myself if you should mess with the phone in the first place,
When it goes wrong, it is bad phone, crap etc.... While it is user error. No hard feelings.
Hope you know enough now and get it fixed
