Hi, after playing a lot with my SM-A510F it seems that I managed to brick it I did so many things I barely remember But I believe the important things are:
- I had a custom ROM (with Android 7 if I remember correctly). Playing with the options, I accidentally reenabled OEM lock, which triggere the FRP lock and now I cannot boot it.
- I tried installing a stock ROM (not sure if the proper one) but it failed and now it says "An error has ocurred while updating... Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
- I tried installing again TWRP to install ROMs from there but the FRP lock does not allow it.
- I tried installing other ROMs but couldn´t find the appropiate one. With some ROMs it throws the error "Sw check failed, Device 4 Binary 1" And with others "Device 8 Binary 7".
I am currently donwloading some more ROMs from other posts I saw but it will take some, so I would like to get some help as I assume the same problems will persist.
Also, how the hell do I force power off? The things I saw didn´t work. If I press VOL DOWN + PWR it always restarts and goes into the Error screen again.
Thank you for the help!

Yeah... I didn't know what that was until I screwed up. I had some roaming issues and I was checking that everything was OK...

If you can get into download mode it should have a line saying AP SWREV B:? K:? S:?
The B:? Is your bootloader ( binary ) number. You will have to flash this version number or higher. You can not downgrade firmware. Bootloader number is the 5th number from right of firmware being downloaded.
You could try flashing stock firmware and if you know your Google account may let you back in to your system ( requires internet connection ).

Hi All,
I'm really not sure how to go about with this so hopefully I can get some help here. I have a Note 4 (N910T) model which was never able to do OTA update from it's 5.1.1 state. It'd download the patch and upon reboot, it'd say installation fail.
Eventually I went into the rabbit hole and used Odin to try to update the phone to 6.0.1. No luck either as it'd just get stuck on aboot. I rebooted the phone and tried to use Smartswtich from samsung and hoped that it'd update using that. Not only does it not work and stuck in the "Odin Mode (fast track)" screen, it eventually tell me that I need to go through recovery to get it back.
I didn't know what to do at that point, so I've decided to try my luck again with Odin. This time, the patch went through successfully with my surprise. However upon reboot after the patch is installed, it gave me an error "DRK not found" error. I simply reboot the phone and all seems to be working. On 6.0.1, no lagging issue, no wireless/mobile network issue, nothing.
However, I do want to know if I still have an error of DRK not found, and would like to patch that hole before any problem occurs. Can any one help? I haven't rooted the phone yet.
bump, any help would be welcomed. Thanks!! :crying:
Is it still giving that error upon every reboot or it was only on the first reboot? If you aren't having other issues and your IMEI / service / etc is fine, then nothing to worry about.
You also kept mentioning "patch". This is not common usage. What file did you flash via Odin?
Thanks for the reply!! this is what i downloaded to update the firmware using Odin:
rootmygalaxy.net/download-install-n910tuvu2epe3-marshmallow-t-mobile-note-4 (http at front)
the IMEI seems fine, and it doesn't show the error upon reboot except the first time. However the phone seems to freeze quite often now for no reason at all. Not sure how to troubleshoot that one.

Did you install the 1st link there from the Download button or the 2nd one for the n910t3 file located @ androidfile?
I actually used another firmware today and so far it seems to not lag AS much.. but still freezes with no apparent reason:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/roms-10-29-2014-t2922618
The one that I downloaded was N910TUVS2EPG2_N910TTMB2EPG2_TMB = v6.0.1 = Build date Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:33:23 +0000 = NEWEST UPLOADED FIRMWARE
The reason I flash again is because I tried to root my device using CF_auto root, which upon reboot, caused an error of "Kernel is not Seandroid enforcing" on boot menu.
Oh and the DRK error comes back everytime after i flash the firmware, but it only appears once, and no more on subsequent reboots. My IMEI looks fine but my S/N upon typing *#60# is (none)
bump .. phone is rebooting more and more, and it's freezing more often now... help please!!
Hi there
Girlfriend has a Redmi 3. Tried to unlock it moooonths ago but never got the code from Xiaomi (tried 2 times to do the proper process, no luck).
She was happy enough with the Global ROM, though, so just let it be.
Recently she's been complaining about a few things, and turns out her phone is still stuck on the 7.1.3.0.
Pressing "Check for Updates" has no result (the button grays out to "Checking..." but then goes back to normal). Just keeps showing "No updates available".
Tried the ROM from the official page (http://en.miui.com/download-298.html as far as I can see), and followed the Flashing guide (http://en.miui.com/a-232.html)
I go to "Choose update package", select the zip file, the screen changes to "Getting info..." and then just crashes to the launcher, nothing happens.
Anyone has any ideas on how to solve this and update her phone to the latest stable ROM?
(would love to just get it unlocked and install CM but nothing I can do without the Unlock code!)
Thanks for any help!

Hello! First of all, I want to introduce myself briefly. I am Horace. A young 19 year old college student from Chile. I have been watching the forums for months now but this is the first time I actually need help with a very specific problem.
You see, I use a J700M (Samsung Galaxy J7 2015) to play Pokémon GO. It's rooted and it lets me spoof my location and blah blah blah, happy things with the game and all that.
Sad thing is that, after trying to install the latest version of the Xposed Framework, my phone got unable to access past the Samsung galaxy j7 logo screen. I tried factory resetting, installing a new custom ROM... but it's no use. It never goes past the Samsung logo screen.
As a sidenote, I can still access download mode and TWRP Recovery.
Can somebody help me? I use this phone to do some spoofing services for people and it would be amazing if I could still do them.
Flash the same stock firmware which you had before you updated Xposed Framework .
Here you have firmware for your region Chile:

Tried it, and it worked! Thank you... but... ummm... why can't I install TWRP now?
First at all [Wipe Cache Partitionfrom Recovery menu . Once you do that Reboot your phone , go to Settings , About Device , Click 7-8 times on Build Number in order to Activate Developer Options , now go one time back and open Developer Options check it ON and Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging .
That's it , good luck .

I have OEM unlocked, USB Debugging activated. Odin, the latest version of TWRP downloaded from the page itself AND the drivers for my phone, it still doesn't work to install TWRP now. Even if I force the phone to boot into recovery, it will enter a bootloop. Fastboot doesn't even work.
Alright, fixed it myself, had to re-install some custom ROM and then it let me install TWRP. Thank you!
trying to help a friend who's SM-T820 wifi started to fail. Switch it on, it spins for a while and switches off. (stupid me) I did a factory reset. Upon boot, it says someone tried to do a factory reset, please sign in to confirm. Well, can't sign in because wifi wont turn on....so on to ODIN and stock firmware tried T820XXU1AQF3 rom and in ODIN I get FAIL! (Auth). On the TAB it says:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official, SYSTEM STATUS: Official, FRP lock is enable, OEM lock is enabled, ... SW REV CHECK FAIL : [boot] Fused 1 > Binary 0
Reboot, and I'm back to the please sign in to confirm reset. Can't go to settings to disable OEM lock. Where should I look next?

AQF3 firmware is an older firmware. If the device has been updated you need to use that or newer firmware. You can't flash an older firmware so that's probably the problem.
ok, I finally found the right rom to be able to flash, flashed the BL, AP and CSC images. Rebooted, and it went to: "an unauthorized attempt..." not a problem I know the username and password, but wifi still wont turn on. Ideas?

First, boot into the stock recovery and clear the cache. If that doesn't work then try flashing just the AP in Odin.
wipe cache: same result - an unauthorized attempt...and wifi unable to turn on
ap flash only: same result
also almost every tutorial I see on bypassing FRP lock requires that wifi be working. wifi is not working for some reason.
ok, so maybe a combination ROM for T820XXU2BRJ1 will help, that is the stock that is installed. Anyone know where I can find that?

If you're looking for the stock firmware go to updato.com. It looks like the bootloader was unlocked at one time? Can you bypass the initial setup and get into settings? If so see if developer options is there. If not see if you can get to about tablet, software information. Then tap build number 7 times. That should initiate developer options. In there allow oem unlock. But, if you haven't gotten the firmware from updato get that first and flash it in Odin.

I can't bypass the initial setup. The initial problem was that wifi wouldn't turn on, (spins for a few seconds then turns back off). I have tried visual assist, select a word, keyboard settings, but cant seem to make the jump to regular settings to be able to get to dev options. That's why I'm asking for a combination rom, I've heard that they have the engineering features I need to jump straight to settings.
of course if there is another solution I'm all ears

I'm not familiar with combination roms but I found this, https://www.hardreset.info/devices/...-tab-s3/faq/faq/samsung-combination-firmware/. Maybe that helps? If you could get into developer options you could enable oem unlock and possibly flash a custom rom. I was going to suggest rorymc928's rom in the roms, kernels, etc section.
have you fixed it? it's easy all you need is to flash the combination firmware to remove the FRP lock (by resetting to factory settings from combination firmware) and reflash stock rom after that, no need to unlock bootloader to do all this.

ok I was able to get past the FRP lock, finally. Now we're are back to the original problem. Turn wifi on, it spins for about 30 seconds and turns back off again.

How? I have the exact same tablet and problem, I did the reset too.
So i'm trying to remove a google account from this device. Tried all ways and is still asking for the same thing - account previously used on the device to continue.
The tabled was setup by somebody and eventually lost access. Tried to factory reset it but no luck. FRP enabled.
Is there something i am doing wrong maybe? Thank you!

It's hard to advise since you haven't said what exactly you're doing.
The more detailed you describe, the easier it will be to help you.
FRP can only be removed on a running system, not by flashing the firmware.
I am trying to remove the FRP.
I thought with the firmware i could reset the tablet.
So i have lost access to the synced account basically. I am trying to bypass the security. Tried to recover the password for the google account but since it was a new tabled with a new account i have not so many informations to be able to recover it.
I have also tried the method with Alliance Shield but i can't access Google Play neither.
Have you unlocked bootloader? It's there in the developer settings as "OEM Bootloader Unlock"
I cannot trigger developer mode. Tried but no luck. No message apears when i tap Build Number or any info about the device.
Are you sure you did it right? You are supposed to tap 'build number' seven times, because tapping once will not help. You may already know the above fact, though
Edit: Spelling error.
I did. Nothing happens. Tapped several times but nothing pops up. I am an apple user this is my cousin's tablet received as a gift this Christmas. He is only 9, tried to set it up himself with the help of another cousin....They forgot the password and tried to factory reset it after.
Also, there are quite a few videos about disabling FRP, have you tried them out yet?
Yes i did ... no luck ... I am taken to different not-so-trusted websites with unknown programs (potentially viruses).
Just found this here where it says to clear cache partitions:
Developer Mode Not Showing
I have the SM-N9600 model on TMO, running 8.1, and not rooted. I tapped the Build Number repeatedly to turn on Developer Mode, and I accessed it the first time, but now it's not showing up anyplace. Also, when I try to redo it again, a little pop...
forum.xda-developers.com
Please try it out as I don't have a physical tab on me. I am sure it will not remove data and such, so feel free to do so. You can access it by booting into the recovery options.
It also says that you can alternatively "Place a Nova Activities widget on your desktop, then, take a look around in the Settings section of the widget, see if there's something for Developer Options."
I did clear the cache several times. Factory reseted the phone also but no luck.
Is it possible for you to use ADB instead of using Odin? I am not sure if it will allow you to pass through without oem bootloader unlock enabled, but it's worth a try.
You also should remember to install adb platform tools and also install samsung dev drivers.
ADB not working neither.
I think I know exactly what is the issue either you should downgrade to FW patch prior feb 22 since KNOX doesn't allow to run developer option unless work environment is set-up. In those upgrades you can use Talkback for FRP bypass.
You can try pro disabler method to enable knox and get developer options then from there.
After disable knox https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ite-emergency-call-factory-test-mode.4502277/
@Abish4i so if knox is removed, dev settings are also removed? Could you please explain it to me if that's fine by you?
Once you get Knox verification done Developer options are enabled by system. You cannot remove knox without adb unless using Root.
When i try to install any apk the settings crashes. I don't think there is any hope for this device ...
Is it organization owned? What is your current FW patch?
