Its not unlocked...its security was bypassed with the Loki exploit built into the recovery.
If you flashed back to the stock kernel (MDK) then reboot a few times and the padlock should go away.

Ok,I did flash the pre-release kernel first,and then flash the stock kernel after root the pho ne.tbats why I install goomanager and unlock the boot loaderndo I have to do something diferent know?

What do you mean,restart the phone a couple time or reboot in to recovery and rebbot the phone?

Its that flickery all the way from start, untill its "ready" to use.
I can use ADB and call out like ADB Devices etc. at it will popup. So its not a hardware malfunction i think?
I know you may have already done this but I have no way of knowing if you are useing the right software or the right method so Lets start from scratch!

In the Odin Software on your PC the box below ID:COM should be yellow with stuff in it click the start button it will take a few minutes. 1min 59sec for me. once finished the Tab will reboot and do some stuff then it will reboot again to the OS.

- Downloaded them all freshly
- Got into download mode
- Did the PDA thing with P7500XWLB1_P7500OXXLB1_P7500XXKL4_HOME.tar.md5
- It went through the whole process <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
- It restarted
And now there is still flickering.
Through the WHOLE boot process.
Could u somehow extract your bootloader so i can install it with Odin? Cause as what i read, its not hard bricked only soft bricked, due to it goes through the boot process.
If the Tab is already on just hold the power button until it shuts off then immediately move your finger to the volume down button until garble comes up...lol then hit the volume up button until more garble comes up then hit volume up again until mor garble comes up!
you are now in Download Mode!

Trying to unlock bootloader on x10 mini pro

Hi chaps,
After trying a gingerbread rom and finding it too slow, I see most other roms require a custom kernel for best performance (and being able to use most other roms!)
Anyway, I'm running through the tutorials in the stickied Guide in this forum and during the unlocking the bootloader instructions it keeps telling me to switch my phone off.
Now it doesn't mention having the phone plugged into the PC at any point in that section but I assume you have to for the SE Tweaker tool to work .
My problem is that in the first couple of steps I'm told to turn my phone off yet as it's connected to the PC, it keeps switching back on to charge ie. it's not staying off.
So naturally me being afraid of bricking my phone and it being a first time for me, I haven't progressed past this part. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn your phone off and leave it disconnected from your PC
When the unlock procedure asks you to plug in your phone, press the back-button while you connect the usb-cable to your phone.
This way you enter flash-mode, which is what the tools require.

I can't seem to enter flash mode :/
I hold the back button and connect the phone to the pc. Initially it installed some flash driver onto the pc and then booted up as normal.
Now it just boots up as normal no matter how long I hold the back button (throughout the whole process so far)
Does having xrecovery have anything to do with this?
Thanks
Edit - my antivirus was quarantining s1tool.exe! derp.
Edit 2 - Success! Thanks chaps. You're all pretty cool in my books

Hi,
i don't know if this comes under this section also,
i lost the post that i was using to update my x10 mini pro from 2.1 to 2.3 after my pc freezed and restarted.
So my SE finished the update but it's stuck on the Sony Ericsson text on boot up in faint brightness.
I used flshtool 0.9.0.0
rooted the phone and installed busy box.
restarted the phone with the blue screen menu a selected the NAa kernel from SD to load.
After that rebooted the phone then sony ericsson text came very bright then it starts to faint to minimum and nothing else happens.
If i connect flashtool i will get the following:
02/046/2012 14:46:55 - INFO - Device disconnected
02/047/2012 14:47:16 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

02/047/2012 14:47:27 - INFO - Android version : 2.3.7 / kernel version : 2.6.29
i even tried SEUS but nothing happens it would ask to reboot in flashmode and the device will enter flashmode and nothing happens.
also tried to restart with the blue screen menu by pressing power and the back button multiple times and back with volume + and - nothing occurs.
I downloaded ver 0.9.1.0
and tried the force root and here is the log:
Any solution ?
Thanks in advance.

You have to flash the kernel from flashtool:
Put the kernel zipfile in the /firmwares folder where you installed flashtool
Choose the flash-button
Choose the kernel
Connect your phone in flashmode and it will be done (if your bootloader is unlocked)
You can not install a kernel from the sd-card using the CWM (blue screen) menu
The reason your phone doesn't boot up is because your ROM and Stock kernel are not compatible
If you're succesful in flashing the kernel, you should be fine.
There is no need to root your phone before you flash the kernel, and the ROM is pre-rooted.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Thank you for your reply,
i'm not able to flash anything on the device.
getting Error Flashing. Aborted.
please see the logfile of flashtool 0.9.1.0
and i'm trying to load U20_nAa-14_2.6.29.6-nAa-14.ftf

In your original post you said you tried to install the kernel from sd-card using the CWM menu, which is impossible
I suppose you have to unlock the bootloader first, in flashtool it's under the plugins-section.
But you first have to make sure it is safe or you can brick your device doing that
Go find the post where you got the kernel from, it will have a link to the bootloader unlock tutorial.
Use that to get instructions on how to know if your device is safe to unlock.
Then use the bootloader-unlock in flashtool's plugin-menu to unlock the bootloader.
Then flash the kernel.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Yes i did the root and unlocked the bootloader.
and loaded the kernel from SD card using CWM menu.
It was asking to load the kernel from SD card,
i wish i could boot with CWM to give you the exact steps.
The device was i guess able to work but i read somewhere in forum to try rooting again using force psneuter
and that was when things changed on the device cause i used to see in Clean Root icon in flashtool lot of apps and commands in red now only ls: in red is there!!

You can NOT flash the kernel from the sd-card
Only from your PC, and your phone does not need to be rooted for that, you only need an unlocked bootloader.
stuck on text sony erricson nothing else can be done
Ok I understood that part.
My question is how to fix my device if possible, i made a mistake somewhere there and don't recall cause i gave up after i looded the rom i think from SD card.
it's over 2 weeks and now i have some free time to try to fix it with the hope of getting someone here on in the forum to help me out.

you can flash back to stock to solving this

Nop, i didn't know about that and i used 3 rooms i don't think they have same bug. So i have to unlock bootloader and flash again without sim?

You don't have to take out your sim-card to unlock your bootloader, you just have to have the right simlock-certificate in order to do it.
To get your signal back, flash back to stock ROM and use the Restore-button in S1Tool to lock your bootloader again. Hopefully your signal will come back. (Do NOT use x10blrelock.ftf included in flashtool, it WILL destroy your phone)
You'll be stuck with ROMS for stock kernel though.

It doesn't need to.
Keep your phone disconnected
Start PC Companion
Go into Support Zone and choose Update
It can't find an update, so it will offer you a repair option
Follow the intructions from there.
When it asks you to connect your phone in flashmode, plug in your usb-cable and hold the back-button. If your phone isn't turned off when you connect it using the usb-cable, press home- and power-buttons together, it will reboot into flashmode.

Use flashtool to root your phone, just press the padlock button and follow the instructions. It needs to be done in the right order and with reboots between each step, and flashtool does that automatically.

G925F Unbrick help with a solution

S6 edge stuck on opening logo of "Samsung galaxy S6 edge" - it's not mine, so I can't know the history that caused it - but I think it's related to a bad try of rooting.
when trying to flash a new stock firmware from Sammobile getting the same problem - even after wipe and wipe cache.
on recovery getting this messege on the bottom:
dm-verity vertification failed... need to check DRK first...
this is what I tried to do to fix it:
1) flashed newest stock - still no do.
2) tried to flash with smart switch - it did flash - but it didn't help - phone still in bootloop.
3) flashed S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN or S6-UniBase_BOG8_v2 - it did helped, the phone worked, but I lost the IMEI and needed a certificate to fix the IMEI, I did it and the phone works fine..... BUT I can't left it with a custom rom 'cause I want the original updates and the original stock rom.
4) tried to flash the repair firmware G925FXXU1AOCV (comes with 4 files CSC, AP, MODEM and BOOTLOADER) which is 5.0.1, so it fails (tried also with pit file) - didn't do.
5) last thing I'm willing to try - is to split a new firmware to CSC MODEM BOOTLOADER and AP by myself... the only problem is - I don't actually know how to do it.
another thing I've noticed on the download mode it is written:
Current Binary: samsung Official and System status: custom
I was wonder if someone can give me a clue what to do, and how to fix this problem.
thanks!
What country are you from? Are you sure the phone isn't on 5.1.1??
Download the firmware from sammobile of your own country or the nearest country/countries, put the device in Odin mode and try to flash that one through Odin "AP" Okay "IF IT FAILS" (copy the Odin log and paste it on this thread. If it succeeds LET US KNOW PLEASE.
Be sure of the Android version.. If that's impossible my safe bet is to flash it with a rom for 5.1.1
You shouldn't mess with the PIT files!

hey,
first of all, thanks for the replay!
If I flashed with smartswitch - then it should flash the newest rom and the one who fits for the device.
what I flashed in odin is: G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJK3COJ3_G925FXXU3COJ6_HOME.tar
which is Israeli firmware and 5.1.1

Okay, BUT when you ran Odin did it succeed or fail flashing the device?
If it failed what was displayed on Odin logs?
If it failed, Please re-flash your device again through Odin and whether it fails OR succeeds, COPY THE LOG AND PASTE IT HERE !
I need to see the logs, if you want help.

It didn't fail when flashing in odin.. just stuck on samsung logo.

S6 edge stuck on opening logo of "Samsung galaxy S6 edge" - it's not mine, so I can't know the history that caused it - but I think it's related to a bad try of rooting.

Im going through the same madness for over 2 weeks...
heres my thread with a lot of amazing people tring to help....
maybe something there will help and apply to u and get urs up an running
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/bricked-s6-edge-sm-g925f-help-please-t3286385
please let me know if you get any sort of fix as i think im having same sort of bootloader issue....
Hey Ice, i didn't get your reply on ur thread sorry.
Do you have the same UniKernel as described above?
Please give me all info you have about your device and the current condition of the device (please be clear about what you can do with the device now and how you get to a certain menu such as Recovery/OdiDLmode/Smartswitch/Bootloop*kind of bootloop.)
Hope to be of good help.

Hi thanks,
have no idea about unikernel and have not tried anything with unikernel,
read someting about this somewhere else too,, something about the kernel not even loading cud be a problem?
phone is a galaxy s6 edge SM-G925F
was working fine and apparently on hungarian XEH firmware but not sure if it was on 5.02 or 5.1.1 when 16 year old kid did something or the other with it to put into bricked state.
have no idea of its previous info or condition as it was handed to me in a bricked state
only thing i can do with device is get into download mode and flash via odin...
have never ever been able to get it into recovery mode ever !!!! not even after any successful flashing
I can flash many stock files either the single tar files or either the 4 part multifirmware files
Can do flash and emergency recovery firmware through samsung smartswitch
but no matter what flash if its odin stock firmware flash or samsung smartswitch flash have never seen recovery and always can never get past the white samsung galaxy edge 6 with powered by android in white at bottom too
after succesful flashes in odin cant get out of download mode if auto reboot is ticked, only way out is to hold vol down and power. or get back into download mode then vol down to cancel/restart,
phone just never gets past that white message screen, sometimes that message will splash across screen continuouly like its turning on and off...like some sort of bootloop.... depending how i try to power/boot the phone back up again
and then sometimes it will just stay on the screen forever lit up and frozen/hanging...
strange thing that is happening now if you look at the last few attempts of flashing the 4 part multi firmware file and ticking re-partition to fix the pit files...
once i turn phone off out of download mode.... i cant power the phone/boot it up using just the power on button.
normally i assume to start the phone or turn phone on all u would need to do is hold power button.
so if phone is powered down or turned off after flash, power button alone will not turn it back on, have to go back into download mode and restart from there
i hope any of all that makes any sense at all
Here is a question for you.
When the device is OFF and you plug it into your computer, does the device then jump to the Smart Switch screen?
Btw IMPORTANT when you say that you "flash" the device through odin are you referring to the pictures on your thread where the logg states that it failed on "nand write" and once on "hidden.img" or did it actually pass after the complete flashing of all the files "hidden.img" included?
Firstly need to try this; when the device is stuck in the bootloop you have to do this.
It shows you this type of screen (1st)
http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...49759183-s6-edge-bootloop-20151210_155028.jpg
(does it say kernel isn't seandroid enforced?)
Then this 2nd screen shows up
http://zidroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Galaxy-S5-Boot-Animation.png
RIGHT after the 2nd screen SAMSUNG LOGO disappears press volume UP, HOME and POWER you need to be VERY FAST.
Then once the (1st) screen pops up again, release the POWER then volume UP and HOME buttons.
Maybe it's possible that it'll jump into recovery, even if it does this is not the solution just a way to diagnose.
Don't worry we'll fix it!
---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------
If you have to flash it in any way to get it in a bootloop then the test isn't required! Don't do it.

This is what i gathered for you guys as a possible fix, it would work 100% if you guys didn't mess with EVERYTHING IN ODIN!
Because i have tested it myself several times.
READ EVERYTHING CLEARLY
4# When you mess with an s6 to the point that it does not turn on anymore and it only reacts until you plug it into a computer then it shows a screen "error occurred during update use Smart Switch..."
Well by that point Smart Switch mode partially takes over and you can only flash the device successfully in Smart Switch mode using Odin on the computer NOT Smart Switch.
(this knowledge will be useful later)
!!! PART 1 !!!
Here we go, follow this in detail.
STEP 1. You need to download the original Odin 3.10.6 from XDA here below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613
STEP 2. Download the Kernel below:
http://mirror31.downloadandroidrom....nibase/S6-UniBase_BOG8_v2.tar?token=514002462
STEP 3. Open Odin on your computer as administrator.
STEP 4. Now connect your device to your computer.
STEP 5. Put your device/phone in Odin mode.
(volume down, home and power)
STEP 6. Make sure Odin has detected the device.
STEP 7. Load the Kernel in "AP" and wait 1 minute, then click START.
It should say PASS! However if it does not succeed, reboot the device and try it again in Smart Switch mode.
(It should actually pass the first try if these simple instructions are followed properly)
_____________________________________________
!!!PART 2!!!
STEP 1. Download this Firmware below:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62003/G925FXXU3QOKN_G925FVFG3QOKN_VDF/
STEP 2. Open Odin as administrator.
STEP 3. Connect your device to your computer.
STEP 4. Put your device/phone into Odin mode.
(volume down, home, power)
STEP 5. Make sure Odin has detected your device.
STEP 6. Load the Firmware in Odin "AP" and WAIT a few minutes UNTIL Odin is done reading the file. THEN CLICK on START and install the Firmware!
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
1st Possibility, if Odin shows "FAIL" "hidden.img" then that's a GOOD THING!
your phone is allmost fixed.
(Let me know if that happens.)
2nd Possibility, if Odin stops at "Nand Write" you must start over, unplug your device make sure it's OFF, then plug it back into the computer in order to boot the DEVICE into SMART SWITCH MODE and then follow the "STEPS 2,3,5,6" again!
DO NOT FOLLOW "STEP 4" Leave the device in SMART SWITCH MODE. (read above "4#")
HOWEVER
If Odin shows "PASS" then DO NOT UNPLUG the DEVICE! Go get yourself a coffee your device should be perfectly fixed!
Just unplug it AFTER A FEW MINUTES and try to switch it on, if it doesn't boot up? All you need to do is replug it into the computer and see if it boots up by itself (this does occur sometimes).
!!! LET US KNOW !!!
You can proceed rooting your device ask for help for a complete root guide for this specific device/model SM-G925F.

I also got the "dm verity vertification failure" today, but with me it happened because I was dumb enough to flash a G920I modem and bootloader on my G925F...
So it also bootlooped and everything, and then just like what you had, it asked me for Smart Switch. But then when I used Smart Switch on it, I got firmware from a totally different country than my own (think it was from Mexico or something), as I live in the Netherlands. And it even asked me for my phone's serial number before Smart Switch went on and flashed that firmware.
So I guess they only look at the CSC or something? Anyway, after that I got it into download mode and immediately flashed the newest correct firmware, and am happily flashing ROM's again Just download your own country's 5.1.1 firmware and you'll be alright, as long as you can get into download mode

yeah... already flashed the newest for my country.. it flashes well but still stuck on logo after.
from some reason after flashing, on DL mode it shows :
Current Binary: samsung Official
System status: custom
so the system status refuses to become official. even after using the smartswitch software.
I think maybe some of the partitions in the eMMC are corrupted.

SAMSUNG SM-G530AZ (Cricket) ALL FIRMWARES

Okay I have seen various requests so I decided to hook it up, I had to pay for these but here ya go. I have full firmware for lollipop or kitakat and you can get them from the following links to my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxcLJPerShJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0&usp=sharing
Within you will see two folders you can pick either kitkat or lollipop and to do a full flash download the files starting with ALL then flash with odin by placing in the pda section. The others shouldnt even be needed if your looking just to fully flash the device use the ones that start with the label ALL. Enjoy. Wish someone could get the bootloader unlocked for this variant. If their are any other variants that need firmware let me know ill see what i can do.
I am curious could i perhaps flash the csc for tmobile then maybe my dev settings let me unlock bootloader like tmobile variant? I am not certain but I feel like it could possibly
Any luck with that ? ? I bought this phone on Valentines Day with android 5.1.1. The first thing I did was download Your stock firmwares cuz I knew it was gonna be a start of another journey with another Samsung device with lil to no development for it. Been doing research daily since then, You've been the most helpful & informative for Our cricket variant of the Grand Prime.

If I doesn't turn on at all. Then it's bricked. To make sure. Switch the battery or charge it. If it still doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. But if you can get into Odin and download mode. There is hope and I have the files you'll need to salvage it.

their is no bootloader unlock or custom recovery for the 530az that i am aware of, so i never could make a nandroid backup. If you know of a way to actually use a custom recovery etc on the 530az I would make you a backup.

That´s the history. I recieve the samsung (sm-g530az), but the smartphone don´t connect to wifi, when you choose the network only appear "Saved, Protected". No matter how much times you select the network, always appear the same thing and the device do nothing. Well, i thinked in that moment in change the firmware. I read in this forum a possible solution, that solution says "Download the Samsung Kies, then connect your device and select -upgrade your device-. Type your model and S/N, and Kies does the rest". I did it, everything seemed fine, until the process stopped. And an error message appears that says "Disconnect the phone and retire the battery, then turn on + ^ + home to start the emergency recovery". I did it all, but when i connect it, my pc, odin and kies don´t recognize it, my Samsung died. I put the phone in download mode and nothing happens. I reinstall the driver, kies and everything and odin at last recognize my device. Then I dowloaded "Philiz Touch Recovery" and I could flash it with odin. After all, I clean my device and prepare it for a custom rom. I installed it "cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial", but when restart the device, it doesn't enter to the system, only boot in recovery or bootloader. But my pc don´t recognize my device in download mode, and I can´t flash it with odin. So I need the backup to restore my device.
Try to install "Philiz Touch Recovery" with Odin. I did it, and works for me. When I recieved the samsung, i don´t unlocked the device and I could flash the CWM. Thanks for your response

ya i think you messed up royally, their is no working philz or cwm for the 530AZ at all because the bootloader is locked soooo i dont see how you ever flashed it with that in the first place, but if you indeed were able to then it looks like you have a soft brick of sorts since the bootloader is locked on that model, their is firmware but you for some reason are unable to flash with odin so sadly I am not sure what else you could do other than maybe see if it is recognized on other usb ports or computer also check your device manager in windows and check and see if the usb device is listed if it shows a yellow exclamation or unknown device then manually update the driver for the unknown device as an android device

That is the exact model I have so this should work! Use KingRoot but the desktop variant. And if that doesn't work use KingRoot, again the desktop variant. Let me know how it goes!

Hello, I know is late. Is already 2017 happy new year. But i was looking the post and reading the thread. I'm looking this information to try on my friend phone that want to root. Anyway. I maybe have a solution to fix the bootloop. since you went to philz recovery. There is a bug with philz recovery. If im correct. But i got it fixed with some zip file and using command on that flash. If you still need this solution let me know. I can post the zip file and step by step of the command.
Let me know
apk
Sorry for the file "CROM_Service.apk" for what?
Hey I need that!

HEY I REALLY NEED THAT!
I don't have the actual CWM on my phone yet. I just got it today. I already have it rooted, deodexed, and debloated(somewhat).
I was able to root it using kingroot. I'm still working for a way to replace the newest kingroot(5.1.0) with SuperSU.
But my question is does it actually work? Have you flashed the tar with odin and fix the code in it with commands.
Just reading your post gives me chills honestly. I like doing things as soon as I can! I'm a phoneaholic.
