So, I rooted my phone, went to ROM Manager and pressed...something (not sure what). My phone then rebooted automatically and said "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock". I gather this is because I didn't click some option on my phone before it restarted.
So then I started looking for ROM's or anything to bring the phone back online. I downloaded Odin and tried installing a ROM and I get "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
So now, I'm trying to download the stock firmware but, the problem is...I have no clue which firmware to use. I don't have access to much on my phone other then what I can see on the back of the phone.
SM-G925I UD
My provider is GCI out of Alaska and my phone is unlocked from the store. Which firmware do I use because from what I've read, SM-G925I is an international version and I'm not sure which I should use.
One thing to note...I'm the worst nerd ever when it comes to this. Thank you so much for any help you guys can give.
I did the same thing...

I have same phone, same carrier, and after rooting I was messing with different options and ended up with the same error message. After several hours of searching, trying different methods without success, I found a video on youtube called, "Samsung Smart Switch for PC Flashing Firmware to Galaxy S6 Edge" and I was able to reflash the phone to the stock firmware using the emergency recovery option "Device Initialization". I had to put in the s/n of the phone, hopefully you still have it on a label somewhere. Anyway, after the restore, it was upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. and the Carrier boot animation was gone. Now time to re-root!
Hopefully you find a successful solution to your issue, good luck!
I want root without the problems

I have the same phone with the same carrier; I live in Anchorage. I haven't done much tinkering yet because I don't want to break my phone, but if this works-- I would really like to be able to root my phone and upgrade it to Marshmallow when it becomes available. Can either (or both) of you confirm that this method did work for you to get the SM-G925I rooted and working again with GCI?
Thanks!

[/COLOR]here is the firmware for the s6 edge g925i that i could find on the firmware section ..http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925I/
Just download samsung kies on your computer, put your phone in download mode and then do a emergency software recovery (can be found from some option on samsung kies)
Have any of you other Alaskans with GCI successfully loaded Marshmallow onto your G925I? I managed to root my S6 Edge successfully using CF-Autoroot but I am hesitant to try and flash another firmware from Chile, or Uruguay, or India etc onto the device because I'm worried about disabling the radio or other region specific settings that will cause my phone to lose connectivity. I have made a full backup using Flashfire and backed up other relevant data but I would rather know about others' experiences before I recreate the same problems that have already been done over and over again. None of the firmwares available on sammobile.com seem to match up with what I have now (I attached a picture of my current firmware).
Any help or experience is very much appreciated.
Nougat and Going Strong
I'm just providing an update since there aren't a lot of links to S6 Edge and GCI Alaska on XDA. Since this phone is starting to get a little older and I had been successfully running Marshmallow for a year or so I decided to push my luck and see if I could get Nougat running. I'm very happy to say that after a couple of failed attempts with some other versions not running well, I installed Samstock 7.0 using the install instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...unified-development/rom-samstock-rom-t3649798 and I am pleased to say that it is running very smoothly and I am happy that I did so. I had pretty awful battery life with it at first, but after installing Root Booster and setting the basic battery saving option I am back to 24 hours or so between recharges. I couldn't be happier that this device which shipped with Lollipop has been upgraded all the way to Nougat and is still going strong.
Need help with removing frp on an unlocked s6. I've tried using an otg cable to bring up a few methods but I think the os it's using has that patched. I'm not used to this kind of thing because all of the phones I've bought in the past never gave me this kind of trouble and I'm looking to use this to replace my fire phone. Any suggestions on what I can do like if I can flash an older version of android or something?
Same here. Almost every single method online is bad.
So the quick shortcut realterm dialer and google account manager solution didnt work?
I came across a Samsung Galaxy S7 that a friend of mine was no longer using. He couldn't remember the info needed to verify the phone so I figured I'd try to bypass FRP using Odin.
I've been working on this for the last few days and I've gotten nowhere. I can't get past the first time startup, and the instructions I've come across online show that I must enable developer mode before I can even begin, which I can't do because I can't find a way to get to the phone's settings from the home screen.
I've tried just about every method I could find, including methods. I can't remove the FRP. One method here got me close as I could flash the phone with odin but I still can't remove it, and that user intentionally left out extra steps which makes it even harder. I'm new to this and I could really use this device for app testing. Can anyone please help me out?
It's a Samsung S7 from Boost Mobile (Sprint). The Model number is SM-G930P.
I tried to look for the tutorial I was following here, but I can't find it and forgot to bookmark it.
Can anyone help me at all?
If there's some info missing, I can add it.
So far I have seen able to find the stock rom for it and I'm learning how to flash the phone.
I recieved an s767vl from a friend who said I can have it but FRP has the device duct taped to the super glued shut system door.
I dropped my Moto e5 down the stairs, no good glass on that device...lmao.
I have tried the sim pin method, the long press on random entry on verification to try and bring up assist, no go. I have tried otg drive but no drop down for file manager, I have tried Odin with firmware replacement, no luck (I dont even know that USB debug or oem unlock are even enabled , cant find out) I am at the point that I am willling to brick and rebrick to see if I can unbrick and have it available to use. I would REALLY like to find custom ROM for it but from what I have researched here i think there are many of us with that desire.
I saw a post where someone was trying to find root and was given a Bricked j7 crown and was able to come through it and start at factory stock with no google account present... a reply in that thread was " now we know there is a way around frp".
but i cant find the thread...lol.. I NEED TO GET INTO THIS PHONE. its my only alternative to having no phone at all Im currently BROKE and recovering from shoulder surgery, wont have any income for a couple more months, Im feeling a bit under the thumb of google nazis.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME...
I am going to attempt to odin down to 8.0 from pie and see if it helps.. Im going to downstep from odin 3.13 to odin 3.09 to do so as well ... seems 3.13 is all about making google happy
THANKS GUYS .. I LOVE XDA...YOU GUYS ARE THE BOMB
Is there a current, standalone method for bypassing google account protection or factory reset protection on the Samsung Galaxy A02 USA Variant?
Recently purchased from a buy sell trade group claiming fully unlocked and factory reset, ready to go. Absolutely FRP locked.
As irritating as this is, I currently do not have access to a PC and am hoping to utilize a method on the device alone to bypass.
Update, I have tried using a PC along with multiple "premium unlock options" as well as ADB and FastBoot commands. Nothing seems to work with this device. I've put it into fastboot mode successfully, but none of the normal fastboot commands work to remove frp. This is why you don't buy used phones online.

You can find remote FRP unlocking solutions on Ebay (runs about 20 bucks). Basically you hook up the phone to your pc and run a USB redirector software, then a tech on the other hand uses the official Samsung server to calculate the FRP key for any Samsung model and firmware version. It worked for me a number of times.
Pm me and ill send you the firmware I used

My pleasure, I hoped it helped. Let us know your progress
At the end of my wits, i am reaching out to the great minds for aid with frp removal.
i have a samsung a02s sm-124d. At this point i have tried dozens of methods with and without pc, tool, and more. This phone does not do alliance knox, not the emergency call, and i cant really find anything that doesnt lump it over to 124dl, which it is not and im afraid would brick it.
Only thing i havent tried is with another samsung but that isnt an option atm. i have os launcher 14 on it, access to most apps and galaxy store. major settings are still locked. Any idea what would be best route?
Thanks for taking time to hear me out.

its android 11. i can get into settings with os14 and have hidden settings installed, but it wont let me into apps, change my lock screen, and anything google checks and wants me to put in pass or previous account. i was able to indirectly sign into chrome through google, but it doesn't go into the phone.
thought maybe if i was signed in to chrome and tried to link samsung account with it; but it still wants me to sign into google.

Try "add to home screen" from chrome. Don't worry about bricking the phone. It's really hard to permanently break a phone. Almost always you can hook a samsung up to odin and start over. The only phones I haven't been able to fix without a new motherboard is a motorola and an Apple.

ill give it a try. *edit* looked everywhere. can ya fill me in on that?
currently it will quite often bring up my os right after it showing the welcome screen. There are references to 124d at a few sites, including samfw, but nothing more. The detailed model info i got off of the imei is correct, but since some programs say 124dl, i figure that would be my next move.
I am planning to brainstorm/plot out a methodology on the darn thing. i figure it might be worth the headache warning for anyone else lol!
Also, my kiddo handed off a samsung to me, and two days later so does my uncle, nice older models with display issues. so i may even figure that out and try some two phone action.
Apologies for the long ramble, And thanks, jayvee1, everyone, y'all have been awesome.
