The ultimate phone lockdown showdown!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think this is the worst i've seen a phone lock down and i want to see if xda forums have the professionals it takes to bring this phone back from the dead
first thing first.. the model of the phone is a samsung galaxy s6 edge plus (G928T)
PROBLEMS:
The phone boots in recovery.
FRP lock is on (and since the phone cannot boot i cannot enable OEM unlock
if i try to use smart switch/kies I cannot try emergency recovery because apparently the imei and S/N has changed so there is no way i can initialize the phone
its a mess..
"and the error i see when booting is dm-verity verification failed...
need to check drk first"
fyi: im not responsible for this terrible mess lol its not my phone its a customer phone and the customer went to a guy who try changing the imei like a punk and got it stuck like this
The upside is that i can still flash thru odin but i feel like odin cannot help because i cannot downgrade the system OS (due to frp lock on) and im on the latest firmware for this phone
This is the ULTIMATE PHONE LOCKDOWN
all help will be greatful​

[Q] Android device encryption - How to locate device if lost and phone is restarted

Hi everyone,
Its my first time posting posting here and hopefully im at the right place. I have recently decided to encrypt my device but a question popped up in my mind and couldnt find any answers.
If my device is encrypted and lost is there any way to locate my device if it has been restarted and whoever found is stuck at the unlock screen. From what I understand the password is requested before the phone is fully started and that worries me and find this pointless if there is no way to locate my device. Currently my phone is unlocked in case someone tries to put their SIM card in which will allow the device to notify me but that is pointless if once my device is restarted and stuck at the unlocking screen I cant locate it. Im fairly techy and open to any solutions even if it requires loading a custom rom.
Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 on Rogers network with stock Firmware 4.3. Was previously rooted with TWRP recovery but restored to encrypt my device. Im waiting on a possible solution before I restore my phone to its previous state.
Thanks for all your help.

Moto Z bricked OEM Locked

Hello friends of XDA, I have a big problem between hands, I have a MOTO Z and I had it in android 7.0 since last year the update to andorid 7.1.1 did not arrive and I felt that with android 7 the battery was consumed very quickly, so I tried to find the update to flash it and just about 3 days ago I found it, I proceeded to download it and flash it in fastboot and adb.
The thing is that a few months ago, browsing through my phone (I had already rotated it, and unlocked the bottloader, I decided to re-block the bootloader, and remove the root, which never worked at 100) I got into the developer options, and I saw an option that until then I didn't know about its "OEM Unlock"function, as it was turned on and deactivated because I thought it didn't work.
Returning to the update flashing I proceeded as usual, with the commands, I proceed to restart the device and show the image of the boot of motrola but then it shows me a message in red letters.
"Startup Failed"
"failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot.
I thought it was a compatibility problem with the downloaded version of 7.1.1 so again I decided to flash the stock rom 7.0 but when I finished and restart the same message appeared.
I started to investigate and it seems that the OEM blockade is responsible for not being able to install any Stock Rom, or anything, and now I have a nice brick with Moto mods and I can't use it.
I wanted to unlock OEM in fastboot but nothing. sends message from "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK IN SETTINGS"
There is way to unlock the OEM from pc or fastboot without needing to be unlocked from the android settings, as in my case it is impossible for me,
I'd be very grateful for your help friends, I know it's a bit tedious to read but it's the only phone I have and I feel weird without it on the street.:bueno::bueno::llorando:
I'm with same problem here!

Try to boot in Fastboot flash twrp and flash ressurection remix rom. It's great rom. Forget about locking. I had the same problem like you as I was trying to flash stock ROM and lock bootloader.
I gave up on this.

Well, when the root didn't work properly, I flashed the phone again and blocked the bootloader. Will I still be able to install TWPR or should I lose my phone?

What do you mean with "I blocked my bootloader"?
Twrp is easy to flash. Root is integrated in ressurection remix rom. And this rom is great. Just try to flash twrp in Fastboot and than ressurection remix with twrp.
Can you boot in Fastboot?
Do you remember what build of 7.1.1 you had on your device before downgrading to 7.0?
If so, I would suggest finding that firmware (the full stock firmware, not OTA updates) or newer if you can, and try to flash that. Since your bootloader is still likely from the 7.1.1 build, a locked bootloader will only permit files matching the same patch level (i.e. from the exact same stock ROM as that bootloader patch) to boot.
If not, then unfortunately there's not a lot we can do. You could wait for a newer firmware to get leaked, but as your device is unable to boot (due to failing the bootloader checks) and you cannot toggle OEM unlocking because you cannot boot, it's a nasty vicious circle that is difficult to get out of. You may have to consider sending your device for service and pay for an expensive motherboard replacement otherwise, since Motorola have a record of your device being unlocked. Your service centre experience may vary.
Only lock a bootloader after ensuring you've flashed all the stock firmware and it is all the same patch level as your bootloader. Hopefully you'll find newer firmware that you can repair with.

I solved it, I finally flashed the stock rom to my phone and it works.
Apparently my pc was not flashing the stock rom in adb, and the phone turned off when loading the software. I did it 3 times until I load correctly and start well.
if you have the same problem apparently then OEM Blocking is not responsible. You have to flash the most current rom or the one that you had by default when the brick happened to you, you flash it in a normal way with commands of adb and ready, I would have to come back to life.
download from firmware center MotoZ Griffin the most current rom stock at 7.1.1

Thanks for your help friend, I finally flashed it with a recent android 7.1.1 update. Apparently the OEM lockout was not the culprit, but it was an interrupted flash of android 7.1.1 at some point when loading the software to the phone, it would shut down on its own and not complete the installation, which showed me the mentioned message. I didn't realize that and thought it was the OEM blockade.
I finally did it on another pc and it worked. the phone came back to life.
I have one Moto Z2 Force (XT1789-05), bought from coolicool.com, I didn't know device came Unlocked Bootloader, Device rom had problem with many apps, I googled and found one topic in XDA developer to Install Stock Rom, I downloaded and Installed India Rom, it's worked somehow fine, but still had problem, I downloaded Verizon Rom, Android 8, after Installed Android 8 Verizon Rom, Locked device bootloader immediately, now device stuck at Welcome Wizard in Android 8, after select language I got this message: (Please wait, this may take a few minutes) this is proof video (http://ahmn.co/Upload/IMG_0161.MOV), after this issue, device already locked, I can't unlock, because need to go to the Developer Option in Setting, I stucked in Welcome Wizard, there isn't any bypass, So, I start to search in Google, XDA-Forum, Android Central and more, I created many threads, many requests, no one can't help me, I tried to reach google developer support to the tell to me how can I bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, there is must be a way, but I can't find it, now I can access to Android Recovery and Bootloader
1. if you help me to FORCE UNLOCK device without need Developer Option in setting my problem will solve
2. If you help me to Bypass Android Welcome Wizard, access setting and enable OEM Unlock
3. If you help me to update the device from Android 8 to Android 9 Verizon ROM via ADB Sideload or Update from SD card in Recovery mode
4. If you have any idea to how can I fix it
Extra Information: I bought Belkin and Uni USB-C to Ethernet Adaptor to help me bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, I bought WSKY WIFI Adaptor because device Wifi can't find any network (I found QR setup by tap several times in Language Selection), after this section need to download google device policy apk, my device can't find any Wifi Network and my Ethernet Adaptor can't help me either, So, I just remained with my phone, and I can't do anything,
Please, someone, help me

Samsung S5 Neo FRP Locked

Hello world,
I've just bought a second hand samsung S5 Neo (SM-G903F) and I've installed LineageOS on it, it worked very well... on the first boot. But when I did reboot, I've got the red message : Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock.
I read all the threads about this, and it seems like I must flash a stock ROM on the phone to resolve the problem, but I've tried several ROM with no success.
How can I find the specific ROM needed by the phone, or FRP unlock by another way ?
Any help appreciated...
This method is not for only steeled mobiles if you forget your password and google account you need to recover it then this will help you to improve your mobile phone.
Finally, I found the right stock ROM and ODIN did the job. Phone is unbricked. :good:

an newbie need your advice and help!

hi all,
I have Samsung SM-G935W8 (in Canada), bought used from someone. recently, try to play with android, and realized the phone PDA was G935UUEU4BRD1, and model was SM-G935U which is different from the model that showing on back cover. think the guy flashed a different rom for this phone.
couple days ago, I did hard factory reset for no reason, and get google account locked. then search online and learning how to fix it. seems like need to flash combination rom --> use tool bypass frp --> flash official rom to solve this issues.
i downloaded many combination firmware and all failed on odin flash. until i use one that allowed me to flash and success to open the phone as Factory Binary. But, I noticed the phone model changed to SM-G935A, which is AT&T firmware. the android version is 6.0.1, when I try to run program to do FRP bypass, no luck, think that because I can't turn on OEM- Unlock option(can't find it on developer option tough)? or bootloader locked?
now, I can only flash official rom that from AT&T, and android 8 that I can find it. if the phone can be fixed FRP issues, model change to G935A is fine, I dont care that model, I dont use the phone for call, only for wifi and camera. and maybe later can play flash to other model of ROM. not sure if possible.
current, the working combination rom I flashed is PDA : G935UUCUBATA1
ADB FRP to bypass FRP (not working)
and flashed to AT&T rom PDA: G935AUCUBCTB1_G935AATTBCTB1_8.0.0
FRP still not bypassed, and stuck on google account validation screen. any advice how and what tools can bypass FRP for this phone now model is SM-G935A? thanks in advance!
