Previously, I've talked about how I bricked my G920T by using an apk to try to root my phone.
Then I tried to do a factory reset with the stock recovery but it wouldn't even go into the stock recovery. So I flashed TWRP and wiped the whole phone including the system partition.
Then I tried to flash a stock 6.0.1 firmware to the phone but doing so did not improve the situation as my phone still won't boot. Even worse, when I power my phone, all I see is the blue LED indicator, no Samsung logo, nothing.
Then I tried to flash a custom ROM like XtreStoLite but that didn't fix anything either.
When I use TWRP or the stock recovery, the error "failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)" comes up on the log. I tried using the ADB method to fix it but my phone would not get recognized by ADB probably because USB debugging isn't on by default.
I cannot shut down the phone without having it charged to a power source then holding down PWR+DOWN VOLUME+HOME until the screen shuts off.
When I enter download mode, I don't see the warning screen, I enter the download mode directly.
It will warm you when you enter download. Or use TWRP and reboot into Download.Once in download flash the ROM using Odin. Get the latest one from SamFirm.
P.S. Next time root using CF Auto Root

It doesn't warn me when I enter download mode, that's one of the problems.
I tried flashing the official ROM using ODIN, it still won't boot because of the efs error.
1) Download the latest SmartSwitch
2) Click on more -> Emergency software recovery and initialization
3) Go into Device initialization, enter your model name, search for it and proceed as advised by the assistant
That should fix everything, otherwise:
1) Download the latest official firmware for your model, the 4-File (or 3-File) Version
2) Use latest ODIN, check repartition in options
3) Select all the files and flash it
If EFS or DRK is corrupted, flashing roms, custom or not won`t help, it can be fixed via repair box maybe (Octoplus/Z3X)
Try to flash CF auto root for your model, if it still won`t boot, then find someone with a box to try to help you remotely or not.
But Smart Switch emergency initialization with phone sn would be the first thing I would try.

Which mode should I be in when using SmartSwitch? No devices are shown when I have it plugged in during the bootup, and is so too in download mode but shows a not supported message.

Well if you know someone who have a box, it doesn`t have to be remotely.
If not, it is possible to fix it remotely, with help of usb hub (FlexiHub or similar), tunneling (TeamViewer or similar) and box software (you connect phone to your computer, the other guy connects box to his computer, both of you are connected through a gateway to a wonderfull thing called internet, and everybody is happy ) .
Same as on site, just with few more things in between the phone, and the box.

The S/N sticker on the back of the phone is long gone, is there any other way I can find it besides from going into settings because I can't do that?
EDIT: I am able to borrow a friend's serial and got the firmware installed.
The Samsung boot logo is back now, however, the device still won't boot. The efs error is still there but the download mode warning sign came back.
EDIT #2: Okay, I flashed TWRP now and ADB is working once again. Can I utilize this to fix the efs error?
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!

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

Sid
@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 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!

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

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
Hello all,
So I finally got the dreaded FRP lock error when trying to reboot my phone.
Things I've tried to do:
1. Install Smart Switch and enter my model number + S/N and I get an error "This model number cannot be initialized"
2. Install Samsung Kiss update the drivers etc
3. Download stock firmware and try flash through Odin "Device wont recognize on PC or Odin" (But with another phone it will, so USB is fine)
4. Went into the recovery menu, wiped device/cleared cache etc
So the problem is the device is not recognizing on my on Windows 10 + Windows 7 - If I can get the device to recognize i will be able to flash stock firmware and my issue will be resolved.
If anyone has a bypass, or has resolved their issue please let me know - because I have tried everything.
Hi all,
I've got a Galaxy S6 SM-G920I which will boot to : An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
I've installed the latest Samsung USB drivers to my PC.
I've installed smart switch and it says my device is " Unsupported Device " . I also updated smart switch to latest version and that made no difference.
I recently deleted 2 important video files by mistake.
A call to Samsung reveiled that there is no way to recovery deleted data from phones internal storage...
A bit of googling lead me to believe the data is still there, its just not visible. Here : https://howtorecover.me/data-recovery-internal-storage-android-phone-guide
So i'm following this guide and get stuck at the > su command. a bit more research reveals I need to root my device.
So I followed a guide on this forum to install latest version of twrp, odin, and magisk.
I reboot and I have root access to the phone.
I continue the guide and fail to proceed after the command > fdisk -l
So I install busybox, and grant it root access.
Command runs but has no output....
At this stage I decide to give up and initiate a system recovery from my phones settings.
Which lead to an endless boot cycle showing the Samsung logo.
More internet research lead me to believe downloading a stock firmware from sammobile might help.
So I downloaded G920IDVU4FRH2_G920ITEL4FRI1_TEL firmware and discovered the instructions on that webpage do not match the extracted content...
So I think that what I feed into odin was the wrong stuff and I've bricked my phone.
I can also access my phones download boot option, and thats all at the moment.
Comments and suggestions welcome
Found the solution here : https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/6nb51r/galaxy_s8_odin_flash_fail_softbrick/dk94krm/
Open Odin, place all the necessary files into their slots.
Go the the options tab, make sure "Auto Reboot" IS ticked.
Press "start", but as soon as you do, hold down Vol down+Bix+Power on your phone. Odin will fail and your phone will reboot into download mode again. Now press "Start" in Odin again, and your phone should flash without a problem. This might take a few attempts to get right, but I hope it helps.
At all flash new rom

Seems you flashed an unsigned system image or similar to trigger dm-verity like that. Your best option would be to try to set the device in EDL (Qualcomm HS-USB 9008) mode and reflash from there (assuming you already know how to do so) there is a good amount of info on Google and XDA to guide you through. The S6 should have a programmer file to flash as your SBL to reflash the stock firmware
---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------
If you need to create the rawprogram0 and patch0 files I have custom tools I can share to help you create that as well as your firmware to flash. You will need a programmer though and it can be a difficult process for a user who is beginner with it
@Imtiaz Shah
The 1st thing of all things an Android phone owner should do is turn USB Debugging on: then life becomes easier.
So by means of ADB you can manage Android kernel's dm-verity feature
To disable
Code:
adb devices
adb disable-verity
To enable
Code:
adb devices
adb enable-verity
Is working fine on userdebug builds.

The 1st thing of all things an Android phone owner should do is turn USB Debugging on: then life becomes easier.
So by means of ADB you can manage Android kernel's dm-verity feature

I think in his case he is on a production build which disables this feature. At least as far as I can see
And yes that's the first thing you should do I do agree
Yes Bro. I missed the trick . But this time I think I am really stuck as I was not wise enough to enable USB debugging in advance. I've been trying to connect the phone with multiple laptops, after installing Samsung USB drivers, but the Laptops are not even making a single sound that something has been connected. Nor showing unknown device, I mean just nothing. I am having a hard time to connect my phone with the laptop. even the guys sitiing at the mobile shop returned the phone after two days by saying that they are not able to connect the phone with the PC.
So, at the moment, on the Android System Recovery Screen, there is a error "dm-verity Verified Failed" and when I try "Apply update from ADB" system says "Disabled",,, "Apply update from external source" system says "Disabled",,,,,,"Apply update from cache",,system says,, "deprecated", when I try "Reboot to boot loader",,,nothing happens and phone starts normally and stuck at logo AND I am not able to connect my device with the phone (which seems to be the main problem). Is it something that my phone has gone into some kind of security lock ??? I am able to access the recovery mode as well as download load mode in the phone but nothing happens afterwards..
I have instaled QDLoader HS-USB Drivers and tried connecting my device through Qcom_EMCP_Multi-Port_Software but result invain....

Seems you flashed an unsigned system image or similar to trigger dm-verity like that. Your best option would be to try to set the device in EDL (Qualcomm HS-USB 9008) mode and reflash from there (assuming you already know how to do so) there is a good amount of info on Google and XDA to guide you through. The S6 should have a programmer file to flash as your SBL to reflash the stock firmware

If you need to create the rawprogram0 and patch0 files I have custom tools I can share to help you create that as well as your firmware to flash. You will need a programmer though and it can be a difficult process for a user who is beginner with it

Thanks a million Bro!!
I am a Noob and have no idea about " the rawprogram0 and patch0 files ". I am certainly looking for a soultion to solve my issue but have no idea how much I can bother you on this...... but in either I am really thankful for your sincere offer and really grateful to you. My Heartiest Regards ...
This includes links to the tools you will need and a link to create the proper files. I don't take any credit for these what so ever
The S6 download the lastest firmware and ensure you have the GPT file (it will have a specific name) to use because it will be needed
I'm always available to help
