I have a samsung on7, SM-G600FY
I installed TWRP on it and rooted it. It worked perfectly fine, with no issues whatsoever.
However, i later disabled the OEM unlock option in developer options and a week(ish) later i switched off my phone. On trying to turn it on, i get a screen with an exclamation with the following on the top of the screen:
[WHITE] CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FRP.
[RED] SECURE FAIL : KERNEL
I think this is due to oem being locked, which is not allowing the OS to load, maybe?
Is there any way to enable it via CMD on the computer? Thanks

i looked it further and due to the oem lock, it seems to be more hardware related than software? How can i flash/program the processor..?
Im 99% sure you need to download the firmware from sammobile and flash it with odin i don't think there are any other options other than that,
Maybe someone else could "chip in" to clarify it ?
Once you get your phone up and running again it's worth mentioning that when rooting you have to have "allow the device to be OEM unlocked" to the switched on position or you will just trip the FRP again

well, i tried using odin to try and reflash the twrp again, but it failed and i got a tiny message on the phone screen that frp blocked it.
I don't believe that i will be able to flash the custom rom either, if my phone isn't allowing it...?
By the way, is it possible for you to share the link? I would like to give that a try too. Thanks!

Go to https://www.sammobile.com download the correct firmware for your phone (important that it is the right firmware for your model) If your phone is unlocked to any network then it doesnt matter which country he firmware is from if your phone is locked to a specific carrier then you will need to make sure that the firmware you download is for your country and your carrier . You will need to register with sammobile but it's free download your firmware and flash using the most up to date odin you can get ,,you can find plenty of tutorials on how to do this using your search engine ..Dont worry if you dont manage the first go you can always try again. if you do all that right then your phone will boot normally after that . Be patient it can take 10-15 mins sometimes to flash then the first boot of your phone can take a while too..
Make sure usb debugging is on and most importantly that this time keep enable oem unlock at the switched on position (allow the device to be oem unlocked) or you will only trip the FRP and have to flash firrmware again
Your firmware package is around 2 gig so it will take a while to download and flash
make sure usb debugging is on also
I tried this method but it doesn't work?

So, there's absolutely no way to unlock a bootloader if Tmobile requests them to be locked? Can I call Tmobile and ask them to unlock it?

there are paid for services run by people, some of them use this site, where your phones bootloader can be unlocked either remotely or via a one use only token and instructions. not sure about A32 but on Galaxy S series phones it costs about 75 dollars US. search here you should find something, a link to a Telegram group probably.

How are they able to bypass Samsung's lock? I don't think paying is worth it to get unlocked, esp over the internet where it could be a scam.

you can join a telegram group full of people either waiting for or already had their bootloaders unlocked. it is quite pricey but it's not a scam (based on the people I've seen doing it) a moderator here used to do it and people have posted about being happy with the service they got.
if it not via that route there currently isn't any other way to unlock bootloaders for US Samsung phones
Be aware when you update ROM after that.
Later version ROM can lock bootloader again and current token may not unlock again
If anyone gets an unlocked stock rom or a bootloader.img even please post it here, for example I've heard some people have been getting unlocked with T-Mobile. Follow the instructions on how to dump the unlocked bootloader.img here:

Yes. I've used these instructions https://www.naldotech.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a32-magisk/
I've used boot.img to patch, and then flashed with odin, worked as a charm.
Turn on Odin mode - by shutdding down your phone, then holding Volume Up + Down, then long hold Volume Up to unlock bootloader, You might need to reboot afterwards, also factory reset is(will be) a must.
Just shut down after that, redo holding Volume Up + Down, then long hold Volume Up, I cannot remember exactly, but I think after that it was once pressing Volume Down to have proper odin download mode to use patched image.
Select patched magisk image patched from/by boot/recovery.img.lz4 archive.

I had an option, starting with tapping on build name to enable dev tools, enabling it then Vol Up + Vol Down.
Please feel free to verify images taken after root been aquired. (magisk image was patched on unrooted os at the time)
The OEM unlock itself in dev options is not doing complete OEM unlock, until contected to PC while Volume Up + Volume Down is presse

Hello,
I am trying to convert Tmobile OP9 to Global version and I am stuck at a basic step of getting the oem unlock code when trying to unlock the bootloader.
Details:
1. got my network unlocked from mobbdeep couple of weeks back.
2. Under Settings > "Network Unlock" status shows as unlocked
3. Installed the latest SDK as I am following the guide here to get the bootloader unlocked. When I boot in fastmode and run the oem command it stays at "waiting for device" and returns nothing.
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_code
When I run this, device list shows empty
Code:
adb devices
- Enabled USB debugging and stay awake options is checked from what I read on few posts
- When I restart the phone normally and then run "adb devices" it shows my phone listed
- Working on windows machine
What am I doing wrong here ?
TIA !!
PS: attached image shows the device state as Locked
If your phone is SIM unlocked, follow the instructions to convert from T-Mo to global.
Then you'll have the normal OEM unlock in dev options. Then you can just do the fastboot oem unlock and call it good.
Much easier and you don't have to deal with the token. It worked well for me.
I have the global version, not TMobile, so this might not apply
But I had a similar issue with fastboot not recognizing my device, the solution is disabling driver signing in windows and manually updating the driver in device manager
Check the "root OnePlus9" thread.. on page 8 at the bottom there's a guide on how to do it

Thanks for your response.
I tried that earlier assuming the same but it asked me to first flash the unlock token for which I am following the steps
I was however able to get the device listed after manually uninstalling/installing adb drivers

Check in device manager. If you have the yellow triangle on your phone in device manager just download android composite driver and update it through device manager/browse computer/ select unzipped folder and click OK.

That was indeed the issue. I manually uninstalled and installed the drivers which helped and I can now see the device listed and also got the oem unlock code successfully.
I have submitted the form with Tmobile for the unlock token, hopefully that should do it.

Same applies for OP9 as well ?

You might want to backup your modem partition just in case you want to try the T-Mobile modem. I've heard reports the the AA modem works great, and also that the AA modem sucks, so YMMV

Following the guide here, I just performed the bootloader unlock successfully. Per your suggestion, I want to backup the modem files before I proceed any further.
I cant seem to recollect how do I backup the modem files when I did the same conversion for OP6T. Can you please guide me here before I proceed with the next steps.
I tried installing the partitions backup but it wont allow me without root. I vaguely remember that I hadn't rooted my device the last time while backing up these files or is root needed ?
TIA !
You need to root. Rooting is fine and won't affect your modem. While you are there, back up persist, modemst1, modemst2, modem_a, and modem_b. _a and _b should be different versions and you can pick and choose which one you might want to use (or stick with AA)

Okay did this step.
Downloaded an copied stock image and the boot_patched image provided on the link and copied to my phones internal storage
Also as next step said, rebooted the phone
- went to Magisk app > install > selected boot_patched.img from internal storage
- phone restarted
- When I open the partitions backup app it still shows "device is not rooted" warning

To root a phone's Android unlocking its bootloader is NOT required.
You simply have to add SU binary to Android's filesystem and make this binary executable.
I want to oem unlock bootloader for trwp and roms but I can't find oem unlock in dev settings and tried the video above and a couple of other things I found
You need the Samsung flash tool and the version of android for the phone and su +twep+magisk is optional good luck
Ps. Allways back up everything!

I seen someone mentioned to root w/o the OEM unlocking switch available, all that is needed is to flash the SU binary with Odin.. I haven't tried this yet but I am almost positive Odin for windows doesn't even read the Samsung devices without the bootloader being unlocked.
Anyone care to chime in here? i'd be very appreciative!
Mainly WTF is the OEM unlock switch not available on my device. I actually have 2 of the same devices and both are without the switch.
Also would flashing SU work and do the trick?

I will keep you posted if someone else doesnt beat me too it. Either way this thread is going so im sure together we can knock this out. Im going to do my LG Stylo 4 firsy. Its OEM came unlocked from Metro PCS...so i scored. Just havent had time. I just did my ZTE ZMax Pro Z981 from Metro PCS...it also was unlocked OEM. They will all need a PC usb connection and Magisck. You can find them in threads here. Good luck. Will post again when i get time. Hope this helps a little. Here you might not get an answer you want...but if you dig youll find what youre looking for...just got learn by doing...like they said...always backup... everything...first...dont forget to remove sd before you factory reset or you will wipe it. And your phone. If youre not sure...dont change things you dont know...you will brick your phone. Follow directions you find in threads...and you will be fine.

Sorry to break it to you, but it's a Samsung thing. It doesn't matter if it's a device from a carrier or carrier-free directly from Samsung, if you buy a U.S. Samsung phone you will not unlock bootloader freely.

Correct
first you need oem unlock on that takes pluging in phone holding volume+/- (both) and power till it shutdown and restarts with the unlock option in recovery
Just bought this but the 5G version
Hi, I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy A13. Here's a quick tutorial of what worked for me:
Prerequisites:
Install Heimdall onto your computer. I used Manjaro Linux as my OS, and haven't tested anything else. Install any drivers if necessary.
Install Magisk onto your phone. I recommend using the F-Droid store/app, or Magisk's GitHub page.
Steps
Install any updates for your phone.
Unlock Bootloader
First of all you need to unlock the bootloader:
Enable Developer Mode by navigating: Settings > About Phone > Software information.
Tap Build number about 7 or 8 times until it says You're now a developer.
Allowing the bootloader to be unlocked:
Settings > Developer Options > Enable OEM unlocking.
Allow it to be enabled if prompted.
Turn off your device.
Turn on Download Mode by holding down Volume Up and Volume Down.
When you see a blue screen, hold Volume Up until it shows Unlock Bootloader screen.
Press Volume Up to confirm.
Flashing firmware
https://samfw.com/ is a good resource for downloading firmware. Be careful that you're downloading the correct firmware though. You can find information by navigating on your phone:
Settings > About Phone, and Settings > About Phone > Software information. If you call *#1234# it will show you the current firmware.
Extract the archive.
Extract the file staring with AP.
Extract the file boot.img.IZ4.
Move boot.img onto your phone.
Open Magisk. Click install. Locate and patch the file. Move the file back onto your computers.
Extract the file starting with CSC. Locate the pit file.
Open Heimdall.
Choose the pit file and the patched boot image.
Put your phone in Download Mode and connect via USB.
Flash your phone.
If it worked successfully, your phone will reboot. It will probably throw an error before starting. Choose to do a factory reset. This will delete all the user data, but the patched boot file will stay in place.
Download Magisk again. Follow the prompts.
To test if you have super user access, install Termux from the F-Droid store. type su into the terminal. You will get a pop up asking if you want to give super user permissions.
Congratulations! You're now the UNIX sysadmin of your own phone!
hello Everyone, a friend of mine from America bought an A13 5G, now we are in Europe and the phone is blocked.
exactly inserting a European sim says:
Phone locked. Please contact our customer service center to unlock your phone.
i tried to unlocked bootloader, but unfortunately i don't have OEM unlock present, no way i get it out!
there is a complicated procedure with Flashing a Combination Firmware, but it looks difficult!!! I haven't done it yet.
but would it be possible to only unlock the phone to use European sims?
many thanks

hello Everyone, a friend of mine from America bought an A13 5G, now we are in Europe and the phone is blocked.
exactly inserting a European sim says:
Phone locked. Please contact our customer service center to unlock your phone.
i tried to unlocked bootloader, but unfortunately i don't have OEM unlock present, no way i get it out!
there is a complicated procedure with Flashing a Combination Firmware, but it looks difficult!!! I haven't done it yet.
but would it be possible to only unlock the phone to use European sims?
many thanks

Unlocking the bootloader would not do anything for you in regards to network unlocking. Those are 2 totally separate and distinct procedures.
What's the Baseband Version on the device? You can find that under Settings-->About-->Software Information (and don't do any software updates to the device if it prompts you to)
Hello, the first thing would be to unlock the bootloader which is very easy in Samsung terminals, In all Samsung is the same, you can see the following video that I recommend. No PC needed, The video is in Spanish but it is only to follow the same steps:
The second thing would be to get root, the easiest would be with Magisk, I recommend you watch this video since it is not necessary to format the cell phone, the video is also in Spanish, but you still follow the same steps. In this case, a PC is necessary:
Soon I will make a post myself, teaching you how to root without losing data, the same way as in the video, in case you didn't understand the video.
There is no boot.img.IZ4 im my ap file
ok i found the boot.img I extracted the ap file with winrar before. some how it does not see the .img files but untarring on linux worked. i managed to re flash the ap fille with odin and i saw lot of .img files being flashed and the extracted foldersize by winrar was way smaler than the archive. so that made me look at the ap file and i got the boot.img patched by magisk and made an lz4 file out of it how do i get that boot.img.lz4 back in the archive?
also whats wrong with fast boot?
"fastboot devices" lists my device when its connected but like many here post it does not work with other commands it failes like thIs :
fastboot flash bootloader b.img
Sending 'bootloader' (32768 KB) FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Tried other examples too but nothing works tried the fastboot included in android studio and one of the minimal adb/fastboot. the boot loader is unlocked (Not using fastboot) and odin works fine. my phone is in the "entertering fastboor mode" state .its a samsung galaxy a13 g5 and i flashed this firmware using odin
AP_A136BXXS2BWA1_A136BXXS2BWA1_MQB61124574_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS13 now its stock again with no accounts.
fastboot reboot does work so some is right.
fastboot reboot
Rebooting OKAY [ 0.001s]
Finished. Total time: 0.005s
i hope some one can point me in the right direction.
thx

Fastboot isn't functional on Samsung devices. Samsung replaces it with Download mode. Therefore, all flashing is done via Download mode using Odin, not via fastboot mode using command terminal
