So i bought a used s6 sm920f internation version with android 6.0.1 and a samsung acount lock. The guy on ebay said he bought it and the guy he bought it from won't help hom, so he sells it now.
Because it was cheap and I often flashed some phones I thought it would be easy to bypass. But I haven't found a way even after houndret tutorials, so I wanted to flash a stock firmware through odin, but when I started the download and failed with the message: " fail device: 3 binary: 2" and I don't know what to do now. It was a 5.1.1 rom and I checked the drivers and it was recognized as Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device and as com4 or com3 in odin.
I can enter the recovery and download mode.
How can i get th device working normal now. I don't care if I have to install a custom rom and not a stock rom, just anything that works!
Thanks in advise!

Sorry. Did it show reactivation lockn in download mode?.
Edit: Again sorry. As the title say it is.
You need to find the last firmware the phone on. That's an issue because you'll never know without booting into android. Have tried smart switch?.

YAY! Because I was able to change the samsung mail before I flashed my phone, but it said processing fail. But after I downloaded the rom I had to put in the password but for my own mail and IT WORKED!!!
S7 active root done for build pk2

Now you can root using the same method as the s7 and edge I used this method personally but with the above file instead of theirs for the other models

Thanks to freddierice for proving this works when others was too scared to try it and FtaWolf for his help getting wifi fixed where it would remember the password

Nice, Finally root for my device now I can really remove some of this bloatware. Hopeful that there's a custom recovery next, then roms maybe.
If I have to do a factory reset will it wipe the SD card as well? Hopefully it won't matter as I've seen numerous people go through the process without losing anything. I was just planning on backing up everything to my SD.

Just remove the SD first then you won't have to worry about it erasing it. I don't know though if it was formatted as portable storage though if it will still work. I don't believe it will though.
now where's root for android n?
When you do a factory reset it just erases the internal memory unless you actually specify for it to erase the external sd card. I've done a bunch of factory resets because I've had roms stop working and had to do them.
Does it still work on s7 ative at&t?
I just got an ATT G891A yesterday and its still locked. I have tried about 3 different S7 roms and they wipe out recovery and then it gets stuck in a boot loop. I did find an oem rom that will install and fix recovery too.
I had to Odin one more file and do a little bit of adb but root works.
G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT.tar
Edit: Looks like i wont be able to get ATT to unlock it for a while. He still owes $300+ on the phone. Lol

EBAY!
Why do you sell a phone that you still owe $300 on? And buy a $800 phone. What ever. He said he will give my money back.
Sorry, I guess I'm out of the G891A. Kind of a bummer. I stripped a ton of it in testing but, Im not good enough to do a full Rom. There was one apk that made it loop for 5 times, then it reinstalled that apk, and then it would boot again. Ill update when i get it back in front of me. I restored it to factory so i can give it back.
I looked in settings and it showed those apps as not installed. I bet I removed 40 apps. It was better. I don't know know enough to change the config files.

Yours is locked? I owe like 600 on mine yet, bought a unlock code thinking it was still locked but it wasn't. I think it was the AV I had installed originally that prevented me from changing before.
can any galaxy s7 be root and have free hotspot as of 2018 looking for new phone but need free hotspot seeing I have unlimited data verison wireless ?
trips knox?
Will this work for ATT s7 Active with Android 7.0?
If so, is there a more detailed guide on how to root?
Would love to see a root for the s7 active current nougat with bootloader 3, or even an Oreo root for it. Tired of the att bloatware

If I may ask, where did you get Oreo 8.1? My SG-891A is stuck on 8.0. Mobile Hotspot & Tethering won't work because I'm no longer paying AT&T (but rather on Consumer Cellular). 8.1 is supposed to allow a Chromebook to use the phone's mobile data network, so I'm very interested in either getting 8.1 or a working root for 8.0 (which I'm still researching).
Thanks in advance,
Hello everyone I have a galaxy s8 + by mistake I installed this firmware G955FXXU2CRED I would like to return to nougat or if there is a way to install the twrp.Thanks
No. Not yet...Bootloader got updated by Samsung to U2 and there's no way to install custom recovery yet...
galaxy s8 plus root
hello everyone I have this firmware G955FXXU2CRED and you can root or install a recovery.Thanks
Do you have OEM UNLOCK enabled in your Developer Options menu?
If so then you possibly can using Odin flash of the TWTP recovery tar file in AP slot....
Is not there OEM in developer options as you unlock? Thank you

OK. So how did you install this firmware? You might be in that 7 day waiting period before OEM UNLOCK becomes available again...the key suggestion there is for you NOT TO reboot your device at all for the next 7 days till OEM UNLOCK becomes available again and then you can flash TWRP and then a custom Nougat ROM after that...
Check in Settings > About Phone > Up time how many hours your device has been on and subtract from (7 x 24)...that's the number of hours you have to wait till OEM UNLOCK should become available...

EDIT:
There's a trick I've read in another thread for jigging the 7-day waiting period...but I'm only 8 hours away from waiting out the period normally that I don't wanna risk rebooting it and then having to wait another extra 7 days
But some users confirm its working on the U2CRED firmware...
1. Turn on plane mode
2. Go to time setting
3. Change automatic update to manual
4. Change date 8 days back
5. Restart phone
6. Turn on dev options
7. Restart phone
8.Change back date to normal
9. Turn off plane mode
10. You should now have OEM Unlock visible in Developer Options menu ( if not repeat operation till you have it)
What I'd you have one unlocked, but download. Mode say prenormal?

Twrp stuck
Two days now i tried to install TWRP on my 955f with 2CRED stock firmware and my phone stuck on TWRP' s swipe screen!!!
No bootloop!!
No touch sensor!!
Just stuck on TWRP' s splash screen!!!
What's going wrong??
I know how to root a phone, because i had root every phone who was in my hands about 5 years from now.
Can anyone help me?
Maybe you have older version. I tried to root, flashed TWRP and supersu, after first reboot phone was not booting up and got message, only official binaries can be flashed. Then I flashed back official rom with Odin. I've got cred firmware version

No work anymore to G950FXXU3CRGH rom.
Hey there.
Can anyone tell me why the OEM Unlock is still hidden even after 7 days? What must I do show it?
Thanks
change phone date check for software updates and restart phone it will appear
Well, I must be doing something wrong.
I already tried this several times without success.
Here's the steps I do:
Change date to 8 days earlier or more,
Check for updates,
Restart
Change the date to the correct one
Check for updates
Look for oem unlock option in developers session
What am I doing wrong?

today I installed the lastest firmware I found (G955FXXS3CRG1) and the standard tweak worked like a charm!
I have a problem, I have an honor 8 version FRD-l04 version 605C with android 6.0, update by firmware finder and hisuite to the version of android 8.0, after the update I am with the compilation version "system 8.0.0.046 (0FA0 ), I do not know what happened but the phone did not have any google applications, install them with apt, but it does not open any google app, it stays in "checking information" and then the screen remains in black, finally it closes the app, also does not let me log in to google in any way.
On the other hand the option of "unlock oem" went gray, disabled, I resorted to block the bootloader again to see if it allowed me to enable it but did not get results, therefore the phone was left with the bootloader blocked and the unlock blocked oem, I can not use TWRP.
try to update several updates through firmware finder, download the system but when updating in the Erecovery exit "error in update"
can someone help me plis? I want my phone back.

OK find your firmware files , like you was on L09C432B399 etc find any lower version e.g (L09C432B380) full OTA 3 files and flash same like you flash Oreo with HuRuUpdater with Oreo Version TWRP.
Restart then you can download FULL version OTA via Hisuite hope it works .

I had experienced the same issue last week. Locked bootloader with greyed unlock bootloader, no google apps, no IMEI. What I did is trying to boot into eRecovery, connect to WiFi and let it download the correct ROM.
Try boot into eRecovery by pressing vol UP + power and at the same time connect the charger. Good luck!

No, after i tried infinity of firmwares the recovery refused to install any of them. My last option was contact MinistryofSolutions where this guy used paid softwares to force install any firmware on my phone, it was 25usd, but now my phone is alive.
I will stay away from huawei anyway you can easily screw up your phone and the options to restore are very restrictive.
