After using my tablet for a few months, I thought it was time for a backup.
I booted it, pushing the louder and home button.
The result: The message: "Custom binary blocked by FAP."
Cause: In meanwhile, I disabled the "OEM-unlocking", cause I thought, it is no longer needed.
Now, only the "download mode" works. I install a recovery image again, but it do not work.
It shows " Recovery booting.... " but no more happens.
"Samsung Smart Switch" do no longer recover my device.
Please help me, to fix my tablet again. :crying:
Best regards
Juergen
If you can get into download mode flash the stock firmware with Odin.
I try to flash TWRP again, but it does not work. I get an error. (it is a TWRP Backup on sd-card)
Best regards
Juergen
Don't flash twrp, flash the stock firmware. Go to updato.com or sammobile.com and get the firmware for your region. With a locked bootloader it probably won't work but it's worth a try.
Thanks, I flash the stock firmware. Without an error. But also.. without another result.
"Security Error: This device has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked.."
The download mode still work.
The recovery mode still shows, in blue letters:
RECOVERY BOOTING......
but thats all, no more happens..
I realize, I have not transfer the hole image. Now, I try it again. But I have not a hole working image. If I unpack the zipped file, I get a "file fails CRC check" error in the biggest image part. I download Tab s3 image again. But the cr-error again..
I need a working image for my Samsung Tab S3.
It is necessary to remove the "FAP" Error? (with a tool or something..)

Your file is corrupt. Download again. There should be no error.
Sure, I know. I try a few times, to get a error-free image.
Samsung smart switch is able to fix this problem. But Samsung do not longer provide this service. (emergency recovery)
Next week, I will visit a local Samsung service office. I hope, I get the right image there. I have bad experience with Samsung. ´hope, this will not happens again.

No need for service you just need the correct firmware.
Go to updato.com and download the correct firmware for your region.
Use 7zip to unpack the zip to md5.

From Villain rom I tried to revert back to the stock rom.
I used CWM to do this.
At first proces seemed to go normally when it was done I saw the default Samsung bootscreen and also the yellow warning sign was gone. Entering the home screen got 1 or two messages about applications crashing... now that didn't feel right.
Problems:
- Buildnumber still states "VillainROM 1.20".
- CWM is visible. But any backup or update action results in crashing of the app.
- Recovery mode. When entering it seems to claim to be updating. After that's done I can browse for updates but it doesn't show any ZIP to select.
- Download. Immediately when entering it states "Downloading...". I can connect with Odin. But trying to apply any update results in a BSoD.
When entering recover mode I see this:
Code:
-- Copying media files..
Successfuly copied meida files.
-- Updating application..
Successfully updated application.
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/XEN/system/'
Succesfully applied multi-CSC.
Seems like what I did wrong was that I should've changed the kernel first. The firmware update didn't complete finish. However I'm no expert.
I guess I screwed up. Hope that there's someone out there that can help me...
Who told you to use CWM..Unless you have built a CWM compatible stock rom .
You flash stock files via Odin as per the instructions in the stock rom post .
jje
I had a driver issue with my laptop. Figured I could just as easily use CWM. It was a stupid move..
Question is if and how I can fix this.
Flash stock rom via Odin .
jje
When entering Download Mode it immediately states "Downloading.. Do not turn of the target". I can connect with Odin, however it crashed into a BSoD as soon as tries to upload "boot.bin".
Load correct firmware to Odin as per the instructions .
Put phone to download mode and follow the instructions on that page .
Then connect cable should have yellow bar in Odin >> Start flash .
#Fail wrong firmware or format not a tar file .
jje
I did all steps before. Yes I do see a yellow bar and therefore I presume it does connect. That's also why I can start the firmware update in Odin.
The problem seems to be that updating the phone hasn't fully finished and it's state is somewhere in the middle. Both Download Mode and Recovery Mode seem to try to resume a previous process.
I wonder if it's at all possible to restart or resume the update. Basically trying to abort whatever it is those modes are trying to do.
That's at least what it looks like to me.
Maybe I just created a lost cause. I'll just have to send it back and except the consequences. Though I still hope there is way to fix it....
Recovery mode format and wipe as much as you can and factory reset .Then flash .
If it has to be service centre say you where updating with Kies and it stopped working .
jje
Sadly enough wiping didn't help.
Guess I'll have to send it back. I'll try blaming KIES but I figure they'll be smart enough to verify that that's not true.
Ah well, lesson learned.

Hi. I also had this problem. After a while I found that my files was named ....tar.md5 and when I removed the ".md5" at the end it worked as expected...
I'm a noob and haven't done this much. Thanks for this useful post!
I have an i9205 that I am trying to fix for somebody. The phone was acting weird so he rebooted it and did a battery pull. After doing so the phone would just sit on the samsung boot screen. I could boot into download mode, but if you went into recovery mode it just said installing update. It would get to 100% restart and then just sit on the samsung logo. Everytime you booted into recovery it would do this. I downloaded kies and tried to reflash the phone. during the flash an error popped up and said to retry in emergency mode. That also failed and phone said "sw rev check fail fused 1 binary 0" on the screen. I am thinking now the only option is probably to flash with odin, but was wondering if anyone else had any ideas. thank you
After flashing a lot of samsung phone, I think the best way to reflash is Odin. Try to download the firmware you want and flash it with Odin. And then, reboot. This always save my phones.
For your recovery, have you tried to update your phone with OTA ? The download may be incomplete and make a soft brick.
Sorry for bad english I'm french.
Thanks for the reply. ya thats what I am going to try. There are a ton firmwares based on country and I am trying to figure out which one I need. It is not my phone so I am not sure if he tried to do an ota, but I think thats probably what happened. Tried to do an ota, phone ran poorly, hard rebooted, and finally resulted in a softbrick. I think that may be why the recovery boot keeps saying installing update as well. Also your English was not bad at all.
Great, let me know if that solution solve your problem.
If it don't, it should not but it's possible, try with pit file (never had to use it so it's really in case it don't work correctly).
I bought a S6 Edge LDU (LRX22G.G925XXXU1AOC6_LLK) off ebay in hope of getting rid of the Samsung Retail Mode and using it as a wifi device. The retail mode is very annoying : it runs the demo by itself, reset phone to demo mode by itself. No matter what you do to the phone, like install apps, taking pictures, they will be wiped by this retail mode automatically. Plus, the phone can't be restarted nor powered off, and the entire Developer Options is greyed out (which means no USB debugging mode). Moreover, stock recovery can't wipe data/factory reset.
To remove the retail mode, I followed instructions that I can find on XDA, but it hasn't been successful so far. Here's what I have done.
1. I followed those instructions on how to disable Samsung Retail Mode with password 5444 or galaxy or any other password, but none works, even the menu in Samsung Retail Mode is different: There is no "“Configuration settings”, instead, there is "Store Settings" which asks for password.
2. I let the power runs out, then replug power and hold power/home/volume up to enter recovery mode. Wiped cache successfully . But when I tried to wipe data/factory reset, I got message that says:"MDM does not allow FactoryReset". This means factory reset on this device is locked by Samsung. Google shows demo unit from other models has this same issue and can be fixed by flash certain twrp. But it seems no twrp works on G925x yet.
Then I unplug the power to let power runs out, replug power and let the phone go into download mode, and Odin flashed
the tar file modified from G925FXXU1AOE3_G925FDBT1AODO_DBT.zip (with cm.bin and sboot.bin removed)
The flash succeeded, but the phone stuck at Samsung Logo page, it also seems the recovery mode is gone, only download mode is still available. I also Odin flashed tar file modified from T-mobile stock rom, same result. Stock 925F recovery doesn't work.
4. This soft-brick was later restored by flashing the stock recovery for SM-925X extracted from the stock firmware downloaded from a paid website.
link to the file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3427316&d=1438623299
5. The search is still on for:
1) Password that can disable Samsung Retail Mode, allow factory reset, or
2) Method to wipe MDM or
3) Custom recovery that works on G925x.
I managed to download files claimed to be the official firmware for SM-G925X. Although Odin flashed failed, but it did restore the Current Binary from Custom to Samsung Official. There are three files in total with name:
BL_G925XXXU1AOC6_LLK_CL4260274_QB4268704_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_PAP_G925XPAP1AOC6_LLK_CL4260274_QB4268704_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
AP_G925XXXU1AOC6_LLK_CL4260274_QB4268704_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (this file failed Odin's md5 check)
I managed to restore stock recovery with the files I got and I was able to enter stock recovery mode. When I tried to wipe data/factory reset, I still got message that says:"MDM does not allow FactoryReset".

Hello
can u share those file with us.?
please share that website or files.
I went through this and through a series of trial and error with Odin and apps I got my SM-G925X Live Demo Unit wiped. Developer options are no longer greyed out. I can also do a full factory reset and it knows if there is a sim card in it, but no signal of course
First I installed cf-auto-root smg920f. The 925 version woundn't boot. Auto root was the only file that I could get Odin to install. I then installed root browser from play store and used it to go through all the folders and files and deleted whole folders and files that referenced retail, demo, or anything like that was manually deleted. At times the application would close and I would have to open root browser again and get back to where I left off. it eventually stopped closing at random as more of the demo folders and files were deleted. I eventually got it all deleted. No more retail demo software I still was not able to do a full factory reset due to MDM. I finally found a file today, that Odin would flash to the Phone AP_G925FXXU1AOCV_CL4497415_QB4506175_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 This did the trick, MDM was no longer stopping me from doing a full factory reset and I now had access to developer options as well as the phone telling me there was no sim card in the tray :laugh:
Hope this helps

Hey, I am having this same issue but my model is SM-G925A. Do you think I would have any issues following these steps? I think that I have an actual live unit with the demo installed. Would this possibly prevent me from using it as an actual phone that could make and receive phone calls?

If it's a full phone unit with retail demo installed then I don't see why it wouldn't work once you clear it out. Have you tried to flash with the AT&T firmware ?? As far as cf-autoroot goes I don't know because I dont have your particular devices firmware you can try the 925 autoroot and if it doesn't boot then just use the 920 and then start deleting the files manually .
Would you please share the file AP_G925FXXU1AOCV_CL4497415_QB4506175_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 ?

Unfortunately I have parted with my S6 Edge LDU so that I don't have chance to test it, but I read someone else reported unsuccessful story using those files in another thread. I'm also not sure how come LDU can be fixed, especially the locked MDM (which prevents factory reset) can be override by flashing an stock AP file. From all my readings, the locked MDM can only be overrided by TWRP. Unfortunately I haven't seen a working TWRP for S6 or Edge LDU yet.

Well... i can do the factory reset because i enabled it in the samsung retail app... but i don't know what does it have to do the locked MDM with the rooting process and installing a rom for g925f for example ?

Guess there are different versions of ldu. Some can be unlocked with password 5444 and M729Q16K8546, others won't accept these passwords. Without factory reset unlocked, you will get a message telling you "MDM doesn't allow factory reset" if you try to do it through stock recovery.
Unlocking ldu involves two tasks, and people can mixed them up:
Task 1. stop/remove retail mode app.
This can be achieved by unlocking with password, root or flash a stock AP.
Task 2. Enable factory reset and unlock the ldu partition, otherwise some program auto run at boot to prepare ldu with or without retail mode app, blocks custom recovery, and cripples android system, etc.
I have seen this is achieved with TWRP on other phones.
If you achieved task 1 with password, then you have high chance achieving task 2.
If you achieved task1 with auto-root-cf, then factory reset is still locked, you will have trouble achieve task 2.
If you achieved task 2 then task 1 is out of the question.
Many may only achieve task1 with auto-root-cf and stuck at task 2.
My GT-I9300 international galaxy S3 gone brick itself, all of a sudden its stuck at the boot screen (white samsung ... text). I was using Cyanogen Rom 12 Unofficial Lollipop 5.1 for around 3 weeks (Everything Works Fine with few Lags and Reboots rarely in a day). I used various method's from noob to expert solution but didn't find success
Tried to reboot into recovery but no go, when i hold the buttons it just continues to reboot and reboot, only showing the white text.
Tried to reboot into download mode and that worked, i though fhew, i got a breath and not all is lost(Phone itself).
In Download mode,
It says : Product name = (Blank)
Custom Binary Download = No
Current binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Custom
Tried to recover with kies, but it complains that it cannot install new firmware (after i downloaded the firmware, extraction, and all instruction followed).
Tried with odin (several original roms with my region and the one from kies) but with no luck, odin complains "There is no PIT partition.".
Tried to repartition with GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but then it does SET pit and hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
Tried One Click Method but failure is what resulted.
Didn't Tried JIG Method (will buy if nothing works).
Is there any chance to save my phone ? I'm getting really desperate here.
:fingers-crossed:A Beer is sure to one that gets my problem solved :good:
---Waiting for Good---
So you just rebooted without changing ANYTHING before and then the device was stuck like you explained?
Have nearly the same problem.
Was using the original Samsung firmware. One day I want to power it on and I had the loop. It stucks on the white Samsung texts.
I cannot go in recovery mode, but I can go into Download mode. But whatever I try, there is no chance to flash an image with or without any pit-file. Always "There is NO Pit--Partition."
And: In my download mode, the product name is there. "GI-9300", no blank in my case.
Is there any chance to save our phones? :\
Thanks!
Did u try installing only a cm kernel through odin
This should bring you recovery
Bad news, blank PRODUCT NAME in download mode implies either broken motherboard, or at least broken eMMC, to the point that bootloader can't read board name.
Hard brick, don't waste your time, unless you want to replace eMMC or motherboard, which is currently not worth the money.
where to get PIT?

My phone is/was a Samsung S5 Neo (SM-G903M) running Android 5.1.1.
I was trying to root the phone to use Titanium Backup, I got a CF-Auto-Root file and used Odin to load the md5 file. I need this root to backup my phone, so I don't have any backup.
The first time, I followed all the instructions and when it reboot I got a red pirate, bootloader locked and the log:
/sbin/unzip: permission denied
/sbin/chcon: permission denied
Then, I tried another CF-Auto-Root file and now my phone is restarting and can't load (bootloop).
1) Is there a way to extract the cache.img and recovery.img file from a stock rom and use Odin to load them?
2) Is there another way to fix this phone with root or not?
3) My wife was the same phone,is it possible to get some file from her phone and fix mine?
It's probably better to flash whole rom if you got warning for bootloader locked but yeah, you can extract from firmware. Open tar.md5 as archive and extract what you want. Make a new tar with the extracted files and flash with odin.
[Solution]
1) Download a stock rom from: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G903M/
2) Untar cache.img and recovery.img
3) Download tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7 from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
4) Unzip and copy cache.img and recovery.img to tar-Tool folder
5) Use the batch.bat to create a tar.md5 file from cache.img and recovery.img
6) Download Odin
7) Follow these instructions:
7.1/ Extract it somewhere and launch it in administrator mode.
7.2/ Put your phone in download mode.
To do it, press & maintain 3 buttons (Menu, volume down & power). Then push "Volume up"
7.3/ Quit Kies. Connect your phone to your PC. Odin will detect it in ID :COM
7.4/ Select "AP" and select the file created by tar-Tool in folder "AllFiles"
7.5/ Verify that only "Auto reboot" & "F-reset" is ticked. Click on Start.
7.6/ Wait till the phone reboots.

3) My wife was the same phone,is it possible to get some file from her phone and fix mine?

In my opinion u need to flash the stock firmware ur mobile was running before the root with odin....u can download from site samsung firmware.You will have to find the exact firmware u were running and your country.thats only way from my opinion.Then try again with autoroot and please download the cf autoroot file only made for lollipop version.I hope u have flashed the correct cf autooot file.
i am very suspicious of my fiance of two years now that she's cheating on me, she has changed passwords to every account that she has, plus put a pin lock on her phone, i have been searching for ways to retrieve her text messages without installing any software on her phone or having access to it, so far i am not having any luck. we have a 19 year history together, plus a beautiful 18 year old daughter & this is eating me up inside. But i finally burst on this page from Google and found the God eye who changed my whole story for good! He help me hack her FB, her emails and her phone number and i got to see all his messages and apps from her phone. only for me to found out she's cheating and have a son out there without my consent but i thank the God eye for letting me know all this and am moving on fine with my life and my daughter. He's also involved in any sort of hacking issues. Hurray!! Get to him on (Godeyeviewhacker AT hotmail DOT com)

The solution I wrote solved my problem. And guess what? My phone is rooted.
Gentlemen, I tried flashing cf-auto-root for M variant (firmware is at UBU1BPK1), but after ODIN Pass! it reboots and just show the message "Recovery is not seandroid enforced".
After that, it reboots again to normal firmware, not rooted.
I even tried un-checking the "auto reboot" option in ODIN, and doing a manual reboot to recovery mode (as it was supposed to force the cf-root to install).
But it just repeats the same behaviour. I kept holding vol_up+button+power and it kept rebooting trying to enter recovery but just showing the message "recovery is not seandroid enforced".
At the time I released the buttons, it rebooted to normal firmware, not rooted.
Tried different Odin versions (3.10.6, 3.12...), nothing did the trick.
Any tips? May I have to try the F variant? (my phone is dual sim, don't know if it'd disable second sim slot)
I've also enabled "USB debug" and "unlocked OEM" under developer settings.
Couldn't find "reactivation lock" option under account settings / security settings.

Just to add that I finally got it working.
Flashed a different country variant (BVO - Bolivia), that has BQA1 firmware and also have the same Modem/CP Version as my ZTO (Brazil) in BPF1. I was afraid of choosing a different variant from Brazil with different modem version, and being not able to use my local area signal provider.
It worked like a charm. I wiped data/factory reset. Then I flashed the BQA1 firmware using ODIN 3.12.3 (last version). Logged in google account (didn't logged on samsung account, neither choosed a lock screen).
Then, flashed cf-auto-root from autoroot.chainfire.eu for g903m BQA1 and it worked like a charm!
Genuine Hacker
I really have to thank Kieran for her review I read on veronica's blog. I've been in search of a genuine hacker for a while to help me hack my husband and a website but I was scammed repeatedly by fakes. After reading kiearan's review on black butcher, I thought it was just another lie but when I dug dip and read other reviews, the hacker turned out highly recommended by other people too. I contacted the hacker and decided to have faith in him. The hacker delivered and I was really impressed... he gave me full access to my husband's phone and hacked the website I wanted without any problem. Now I see why everyone is talking about this hacker and I'm going to join the train. For us looking for reliable hacker, you can imagine my joy after being scammed to finally see someone truthful to get it done. His contact is Blackbutcher.hacker at outlook dot com. contact him and stop being scammed by these fakes out there. My sister also tried him to boost her credit score and clear her credit card debt and he delivered so I can guarantee he's real and knows what he's doing. Thank you black butcher.
