i have same situation
without success always i get error token sign failed WHEN USE MultiUpgrade 4.8.5.
WHO HAVE REAL SOLUTION THIS HAPPEN AFTER UNLOCK PASSWORD WITH MRT Dongle.
The same, i've a Token sign failed.
EDIT : After research, this tool is the bull**** beacause we need to are into Meizu factory. Indeed, to get the right token you need another tool, but only Meizu have it.
Sorry Guys.
EDIT 2 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/how-to/to-unlock-hardbricked-meizu-pro-5-t3566173 Possible Way
Hi Guys, any other solution ? It reports me the same token sigh failed.
- First time when I stucked in Guest Mode (firmware 5.1.6G i thing ) I was able to fix it by this guide from KYOTOX
https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/general/guide-meizu-mx5-stuck-guest-mode-fix-t3397191
(after boot to the desktop phone was 5-6 seconds in Admin User than phone switched to the "GUEST MODE", no more recovery mode, locked bootloader, rooted ) it was possible to solve it by that guide
- now I stucked after upgrade to 6.9.7.5 with Android 7 again (propably because I am just beginner without any experiences with flashing etc )
- Problem is before desktop appears, new flyme or Android 7 is showing me stupid commercials on 7 sheets, so during the process of reading sheet , phone switches to the GUEST, so in generally no chance.
Sorry for my english

With what rom previously flashed u've been able to do this ?

my phone's model is smg570f
help me
So i recently bought my Samsung galaxy A 10 ,I have been trying to root it but no luck.i unlocked the bootloader, installed proper adb drivers and latest version of odin on my Pc. I was following procedures from rootmydevice.com slash root-samsung-galaxy-A10(sorry cant post external links, im new).evrything went fine up until i got to the flashing part using odin. I am not sure weather the twrp file is corrupt or I am missing something.anyone who might know please help.
here is my device info:
SM-A105F
Have you tried this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a30/how-to/root-galaxy-a30-magisk-canary-relaese-t3936481
I'm stuck in two problems here...
1- I dont have the option OEM Unlock on my developers option. I think that it maybe because ive checked that option before and after that it desapeared... When entering on download mode, it shows OEM Lock: ON (L), i dont know if that means OEM is unlocked or locked...
2- I cant find the files in step 2: .extract the boot.img.lz4 from the AP file.
Just came here to find a root method for the SM-A105M. Seems like not a lot of love for the A10 here.. Lol Anyways, I will be testing this method I came across out tonight. I will post the link but can't confirm it's working. I'll post my results tomorrow.

Hi everybody,
I managed to root my A105FN with this method but with using the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 (no need of Magisk Canary)
It will be good to have a TWRP as welll but couldnt find a compatible one for the A10 (maybe useful for no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 and RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2 patch)
we need :
1. odin 13.3.1
2. official firmware for your device (to get the boot.img from AP_xxxx part => follow the other tutorial how to get boot.img and boot.tar magisk patched)(keep an original boot.tar, just in case stuck at boot)
3. 7zip ZS
4. Last Magisk Manager (for me was v7.3.1)
5. computer + usb cable
Warning : this root will give you big warning messages at every boot !
First you need to unlock your bootloader :
1/Under android, activate internet and go under "Developper Mode" (Setting>About>Software>Build Number and Tap on the build number repeatedly). OEM unlock option should be there.
If not wait and retry to see if there ... (needs internet, dont know why)
2/Then go under Recovery Mode (VolUp + Power at phone boot). No method to go "Download Mode" directly for my device.
3/Under Recovery, we need to unlock the bootloader as well. I cant remember what exactly I pressed but try to press VolUp or VolUP+VolDown just after you click to reboot under bootloader... It should show you a page where you can choose to unlock bootloader by long pressing VolUP. if you dont have it, retry again ... without that no Flash possible.
Warning : this unlock will give you a big warning at every boot !
4/if you managed to unlock the bootloader, it s almost finished... know under Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
(reminder:follow the other tutorial to get the file and remember to use the Magisk Manager v7.3.1 and not the canary.)
5/when flash done, reboot by pressing VolDown+Power then immediately on reboot VolUp to go under Recovery Mode.
6/Under Recovery, erase data/factory reset and reboot to system
(7/I dont know if it s necessary the VolUp at reboot till the vibration)
8/wait the booting ... if you are stuck on the warning page for a long time, retry to reflash the original boot.tar and restart from "1/"
9/if you managed to boot under android, good news you are rooted but it s not finished yet....
Under Android check you have "OEM unlock option" under Developper Mode (cf. 1/) otherwise at the reboot the system will go KO.
So when you have "OEM unlock" enabled you can install Magisk Manager. It will ask you to install something and it will reboot automatically. That s why check you have "OEM unlock" enabled before doing that !
10/After reboot, Done. ROOTED.. enjoy ! you can reboot as you want ...
Hi everybody
Yes, I facing same everyone's problem, I see on "download mode" it's show "OEM Lock: On (L)" I try all the ways to unlock in YouTube but no any method to unlock
I try to unlock with all tools I have but useless (my tool: Z3X, Miracle box, MCT Dongle , NCK Dongle, Octopus Suite Unlock, Samkey Unlock Crack)
I try to flash Custom Rom with Odin , Try to Install "Magisk" and "TWRP" by method in many website , it's useless at all
However I think I need to unlock OEM first but I can't because OEM not show in the developer option
I try all the ways to appear the OEM Unlock toggle by a changing date, Flash tar.md5, factory reset in many website it's can't help me
Samsung developer very strong and can't hacking to "OEM Lock : On (L)" on Android Pie 9.0??
1.power off device
2.while press and hold vol+ and vol- plug the data cable with pc
3.then warning screen apper
4.volume up long press.
5.then press volume up.

*sorry for my bad english

Hi everybody,
er Download Mode with bootloader unlock, flash with Odin the magisk patched boot.tar. Do not forget to untick "reboot" under Odin.
Everything is about having this flash file you said you used. Please send us the link for that twrp file or whatever it is called right now as it is maybe not a Team Win Rom.
Thank you for your help

Hi,
It is not a TWRP file, it is the boot.img file from the original firmware for A10, patched with Magisk to access the root function, unfortunately it does not work, have tested it.

If you have an US variant of the A10, don't expect TWRP to work on your device.
Hi,
I can't use my tablet anymore tried Odin to re-install the origin firmware "SM-T825Y_1_20180122165040_zf84f94qoe_fac.zip" (new android 8 stock ROM) but it fails, Odin shows the transfer has PASSED but I still get this message in the screen:-
"Security Error: This device has been flashed with unathorised software & is locked.
Call your mobile operator for additional support. "
I wasn't planning flashing a custom ROM the only thing I did is put OEM Lock on, not sure why I did that.
When I put in Download Mode it shows this in the screen:-
ODIN MODE [High Speed]
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T825Y
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
FAP LOCK: ON
OEM LOCK: ON
DID: 03EA1E00AE16
WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (Ox20C)
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
AP SWREV: B3 (1, 1, 1, 1, 1) K2 S2
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
CCIC: S2 MM005 HW: 4
BOOT: 6 MAIN: DS
Regards,
Sal.
1. It's FRP not FAP ya perv.
2. Reflash firmware with odin, do not go into download mode afterwards before 3.
3. The rest watch this video carefully, and next time you want to leave your device stock, leave it stock, if you want to install a custom rom or twrp, do not have auto reboot ticked.
4. here is link ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0T-CR-KpfM
I did reflash with odin but I still get this message "Security Error: This device has been flashed with unathorised software & is locked.
Call your mobile operator for additional support. " There is another small message on top , "Custom binary blocked by FRP. (boot.img)"
Odin tells me its PASSED but the Tablet still says its locked FRP and OEM locked .
In download mode I am getting same info.
I just went to the Samsung Shop and they fixed it for free, they said they just put a new firmware not sure how they did it but I tried it myself with latest firmware but I couldn't get rid of the lock, I am missing something? like software? or just not enough info about about getting rid of locks?
I had the same issue after i installed a Xposed module. Had to reflash Pie Bootloader and Rom via odin. Now it boots, but i can't flash twrp anymore... It always fails.
This guide was made prior to there being a working custom recovery for this device. I highly recommend installing @afaneh92 TWRP in this thread and then simply flash magisk from recovery.
I purchased this phone a few days ago for around £120 - Bargain.
I have spent a few evenings trying to obtain root - and finally managed to achieve it with Magisk
Full data wipes are required during the process (please backup first)
Knox will trip but safetynet passes and google pay working once magisk hide enabled
Based on the Samsung specific guide provided on Magisk Github - with a few minor differences.
I have uploaded all of the tools and files used to my personal onedrive folder -
Make sure your device is on the latest firmware and download the zip
- I used SamFwTool version 1.21.0 to download the BTU Firmware for SM-A025G A025GXXU1AUA3
Install Magisk apk on your device.
Extract the AP _ tar.md5 from the downloaded firmware .zip using 7zip
Transfer the AP to your device and Patch it with Magisk , then copy back to your computer.
Enable OEM Unlock and Unlock the bootloader the instructions from magisk git are below, for those that need a reminder.
Spoiler: Unlocking Bootloader
Unlocking bootloader on modern Samsung devices have some caveats:
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot to download mode: power off your device and press the download mode key combo for your device
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader.
This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
If you think the bootloader is fully unlocked, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper, meaning the bootloader will still reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk. Connect the device to Internet during the setup.
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and is greyed out. This means the VaultKeeper service has unleashed the bootloader.
Your bootloader now accepts unofficial images in download mode
This is where we deviate from the magisk guide... as when I flashed the magisk patched AP along with the BL CP and CSC, you get a vbmeta error and it simply reboots to stock. Magisk seems to patch the vbmeta file and I tried replacing the vbmeta with the stock version from the firmware zip but that also was fruitless.
Extract the boot.img from magisk patched AP
Extract recovery.img.lz4 and vbmeta.img.lz4 from the stock (unpatched) AP file
7zip - create a new TAR, adding only those 3 files. Boot.tar will suffice for filename
Odin 3.14.4 - uncheck auto reboot and then Flash boot.tar in the AP section (CSC, HOME CSC, CP, BL not required - as the device and download are using the latest firmware)
The next part is essential and doing it wrong will again, result in no root....
I mistakenly pressed power up and it loaded fastboot... booting direct to recovery from fastboot again, results in no root.
Hold volume down and power to reboot...
As soon as the screen turns black indicating it is rebooting let go of volume down and hold power and volume up
Release power button when you see the android logo but continue to hold volume up
Release volume up when the unlocked bootloader warning appears
Tap the power button once to skip that warning
Stock recovery should now appear
Select wipe data / factory reset
Reboot system
Setup as usual and install the magisk apk

Update 10April2021: Since doing this quite a few times, I've actually had most success with Magisk 22.0 (I initially went with Canary - but stock is less hit and miss and if you do it exactly like the steps above you will get root.
Update:
Have just updated to magisk 22003 directly within magisk app - no issues to report so far
thank you so much for the guide, i found nothing from google
can i unroot after modify this device with magisk canary ??

No problem at all, It was the same position I was in so had to post as it was painful process - needed it documented for myself to follow in future too lol
yes - it's very easy to unroot directly in the magisk app
I successfully upgraded to the latest version 22004 from within the magisk app. No issues to report.
can this work on the tmobile version??
mines is a 025q
I am trying to use this same process on an SM-A025V (US Verizon) but I have ran into an issue. I was able to find and download firmware for my variant but I do not have the "oem unlock" option in my developer menu. Is this because I do not have the international version?

Hi i have sm-a25g As I connect with vol plus vol minus I connect usb nothing happens but charging the battery as I hold other keys, e.g. power vol plus I release power I keep vol plus the phone jumps in fastboot mode. In download mode I can only enter from adb reboot download but bypass the bootloader lock window, the manual input combinations in download mode do not work for me. Do you have any idea and can I ask for help?
Hi, I have a problem with unlocking the bootloader in SM-A025G. I wrote a comment on you tube I got a contact from you whats upp. The problem is that after selecting oem unlock and connecting the turned off phone, holding vol plus vol minus and connect usb, there is only a charging mode and it should be a download mode with the selection of vol plus to unlock the bootloader. To flash firmware, the only way to go with adb reboot download but bypass the unlock board is the download mode. Phone with European distribution binary u2 android 11

Hi i have sm-a25g As I connect with vol plus vol minus I connect usb nothing happens but charging the battery as I hold other keys, e.g. power vol plus I release power I keep vol plus the phone jumps in fastboot mode. In download mode I can only enter from adb reboot download but bypass the bootloader lock window, the manual input combinations in download mode do not work for me. Do you have any idea and can I ask for help?

With device turned off but plugged into USB...
Power it back up
let go of power and hold volume up and volume down. and it will boot to the download mode screen.

Hi, I have a problem with unlocking the bootloader in SM-A025G. I wrote a comment on you tube I got a contact from you whats upp. The problem is that after selecting oem unlock and connecting the turned off phone, holding vol plus vol minus and connect usb, there is only a charging mode and it should be a download mode with the selection of vol plus to unlock the bootloader. To flash firmware, the only way to go with adb reboot download but bypass the unlock board is the download mode. Phone with European distribution binary u2 android 11
