I have been searching since yesterday and need a little help. A friend bought a Samsung Mega from someone on Craigslist and has been a nightmare for him. It seems as if the guy was messing with things he shouldnt have been.
The phone will only boot into Download Mode, but the Stock AT&T image will need Flash. It seems as if the phone was updated to Kit Kat, and now it will not flash the stock rom (because it is 4.2). I have tried Samsung Kies, but Kies will not do Update or Recover the Firmware. The phone is recognized by my PC, but thats about the most I've gotten out of it.
In download mode I get the following:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I527
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
Bootloader AP SWREV: 4
Write Protection: Enable
Any help would be great. The warranty is voided due to third party screen replacement. Just need any advice. Thanks.

Hi their.
was wondering if anybody could help me or know somebody who mite be able to help me in some way or another.
I tried rooting my phone which is a galaxy s4 mini using this site with these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980. and it worked. but with problems connecting to my exsiting google account was saying couldn't establish a connection. so I repeated process this time I did step 10. bad choice as I didn't read it properly...... as for me I have the kitkat version and now at first it had a black screen....
my question really is could you or do you know anybody who has the original/stock s4mini firmware/software/rom. this is where im clueless. I have red people say im going to need to downgrade back to original to put it back on. ive looked everywhere online but to no avail.
many thanks

Hello everybody,
I've got an SM-G530T phone. The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime from T-Mobile. I'd like to root it, and this is my first time trying to root or otherwise tamper with the software on a phone beyond a little app development.
I downloaded the kernel from this post and tried to flash it on to my phone using Odin. v3.11. The flashing fails, and "Custom Binary(boot) Blocked By FRP Lock" appears underneath the rest of the text, which now reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G530T
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FRP LOCK: ON
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, H1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
Custom Binary(boot) Blocked by FRP Lock
I have no idea what this means and google is being most unhelpful to me tonight. I've found some resources for the SM-G530H, but I'm not sure whether they'll be compatible with the SM-G530T that I have. Not to mention that a lot of what I've found looks somewhat sketchy. Maybe I'm paranoid about the sketchiness, but if possible, I'd like to keep all the data on my phone and not brick it. It'd be even better if I could dump all the data to a file on my computer that I could restore later.
I've read that the FRP Lock is something where you have to enter your credentials after you factory reset the phone or something, but I'm not doing a factory reset and there are no mentions of credentials anywhere.
Anyone know how to remove this "FRP Lock" thing or root it differently?

Looks like I can't read. If you have this problem, go into the Settings app, developer options, and turn off OEM Bootloader Locking or whatever it's called. Something like that.
Now, can I install a TWRP for SM-G530H on a SM-G530T?
In case anyone else is looking here for resources on rooting the SM-G530T and you want to install a custom recovery, take a look at this post. If that ever goes down, I could probably put up a mirror if you asked.
I currently own an S4 Mini I9192 Duos, it recently bricked and wouldn't turn on or pretty much do anything. What I first did was to use the debrick.img and flash it onto a Class 10 16GB SD Card and that sort of revived it. It got me the ability to at least go into Download Mode to flash an official rom (KitKat 4.4.2) but that didn't work. It now only turns on, shows the Samsung logo for a while and dismisses itself and reboots doing the same thing. Also, I can't access recovery.
Based on research, the EMMC could be corrupted, but is there anyway, per say to format it and re-partition since I haven't been able to find that.
I have tried Odin and Kies. None of them do the trick, and even installing a custom recovery, won't access either.
While on the Download Mode some extra text appears which I haven't seen before on my other Samsung Phones.
What can I do? Do I need an EMMC change? Or can it be fixed by USB luck?

Hello guys, i've recently got a Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925I with Marshmallow 6.0.1 and i'm really pleased with its speed and battery!
I searched how to root it, but from the very first moment i got stuck because i can't find the "Allow OEM Unlock" option in Developer Settings. I have already made a factory reset but remained the same, so i decided to avoid flashing anything just to make sure i don't screw it up. I've looking for similar cases and i found out that if the OEM Unlock option doesn't appear, the phone may have an already unlocked bootloader. But if the phone comes from a carrier, it could be locked.
As i mentioned in the title, my S6 Edge comes with the firmware from our carrier Claro. I suspect this could be the cause.
Please can someone confirm that the firmware from this carrier indeed has a locked bootloader? Is there any way to check this by myself? how can i bypass the lock and root the device? Can i safely flash the official Nougat firmware with Odin even if the bootloader is locked?
I'm leaving below the details from "Software Info" and the Download Mode screen in case it helps.

G925I and G925F have unlocked bootloader by default.
You can flash nougat firmware without issue and keeping knox intact. Beware if you root knox will be tripped permanently.
Good! i may install nougat and then look for the proper root method, but now i feel more confident, i'll let you know once i manage to do it, thanks callumbr1 !
