Good afternoon guys, i bought broken samsung S21 in carboot sale. It has a bronek baclight fuse, so screen was not working. I managed to trace the broken componet and fixed it. However phone turns to be a Patern locked as well. I did factory reset, but as i've noticed new android also require patern lock to be input or email in order to register device.
Is there a way to bypass patern lock ? I am not keen on any data stored in the phone or in samsung cloud, i just want to re-store it and keep using it.
I found a many tools online (Droid Kit, 4uKey ect), however all of them need to have paid version of software to use unlock function. Based on the comments in youtube videos, they look like they been paid comments (i see the pattern of the same type of comments) so i cannot really trust if the paid version of software will really unlock device.
Now is it possible to download new rom and install brand new samsung rom on this device ?
Thank you in advance!
Yes you can do this by ODIN tool.
- Download ODIN Flash Tool in your PC and download the Stock Firmware of the Phone.
- Unzip downloaded Firmware.
- Open ODIN and choose BP, AP, CP & CSC (not CSC_HOME) from unzipped firmware and Flash.
- Let the flash complete & You are done.
- Enjoy a New like Experience.

Managed to flash phone with Odin, however after reboot popup window appear:
An unauthorised attepm has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to wifi or mobile network to verify your identity.
And is asking for pattern code or google email.
Any chance to bypass this ?

I have a Samsung S9+ AT&T version bought locked from AT&T in the US. It is still stuck on Android 8.0.0 and not receiving any updates. None OTA and none by connected to Samsung app on Windows Desktop either.
* I would like to update to 9.0.0 or 10.0.0 if possible
* Current SW ver: SAOMC_SM_G965U_OYN_ATT_OO_78
* AP: G965USQS3BRK2
* CSC: G965UOYN3BRK2
I have tried removing the sim card but still said that software is up to date.. I have not tried to ever root the device or unlock it. Seems perhaps that the IMEI is bad perhaps in some Samsung/AT&T server that prevents the server from giving me updates (based on reading around the Internet).
Any hope for me? I am not good at these things but am willing to learn and try though there is way too much information so not sure where to start reading and understanding the root cause of the problem itself.
Its a easy fix you will need to download the update file then flash it using Odin Patched
Here's a video that will help out. https://youtu.be/SVhR0E9ACnY
I used it the other days when i flashed my S9+ Sprint running on Andriod 9.0 -------> To a S9+ Tmobile Andriod 10
I dont take credit on this but here is also a good write up
1) Download Odin
2) Extract the firmware file you just downloaded. You should get 5 files:
AP (System & Recovery)
BL (Bootloader)
CP (Modem / Radio)
CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will wipe your phone)
HOME_CSC_OXM (OXM CSC file, will NOT wipe your phone)
3) Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_OXM if you want to do a clean flash and HOME_CSC OXM if you want to keep your apps and data.
4) Reboot your phone in Download / Odin mode with the following button combo:
POWER + VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY
5) Once in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, preferably using the original USB cable you got with your phone. Odin should detect your device and a blue box will show up with the COM port number.
6) Do NOT tick any extra boxes. The only options to be ticked are F.Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
7) Click the start button, wait for Odin to say 'PASS'. Once the flash is complete, your phone will reboot.
Firmware screenshots, changelog, and download links will be in 2nd post of this thread.

I used the firmware from sammobile as I couldn't figure out where to get the binary for AT&T S9+. Even there they had for BST, Verizon, Comcast, Sprint. I tried the one called USC and it seems to work. I got the one labeled G965USQS7CSK5. I am now on 9.0.0 and so far looking good. Just finished. Thanks.

Thanks, I decided to stick with 9.0 for now as my company doesn't allow 10.0 for their own apps. I managed to download something from sammobile and it is working out fine. Thanks a lot for your help!!
Dear All , this method maybe already here somewhere ,
i have tried to root this specific device and i ran into many issues !
but successfully i have done it .
i'll upload the patched file here and i'll mention what method i have done ! ..
unlock boot loader is a must . ( Please read about it in google , All Samsung devices is the same method )
u might repeat the process to times until it successfully unlocked and greyed-out !
Next download this firmware only to be able to run the patched AP .
un-tick Auto-reboot before flashing .
once flash done , power + Volume down to restart , then volume up with power until u boot into the recovery
wipe data . restart . done
to make sure u have done every thing correctly u'll see RED massage once u boot you're device

No ! ..
Hi
Do I just need to use odin to flash the Firmware you mentioned then use ODIN again to flash the patched ap
I can just add that with this specific fw version and patched ap everything worked on LTE version but I might add my little deviations ...
1st original firmware flash (BL,AP,CP,CSC-non-home one) instantly followed by wipe data in recovery mode.
2nd After the initial setup + wifi connection I installed and updated magisk.
3rd "adb restart bootloader" (here i am not sure if it mattered but anyway) and flush again with the provided Patched AP File (BL,the_patched_AP,CSC - the home one this time ... using CP failed with modem err with me so I just skipped it here)
4th get trough the init setup again with wifi on and open magisk which will install more stuff.
The prerequisites still apply oem unlocked bootloader before you start and keep your battery at least 60-70% since the process drained mine a lot.
You know you are on the right track when you have warning with tablet bootloader is unlocked (at startup yellow) and tablet not running Samsung's official software (red after the first one)
Ive just bought this SM-T725 model android 11. There is no sign of OEM Unlock Bootloader under development. Does anyone know how I can unlock this.

The option only shows up when you are connected to the internet.
Thanks for reply mate, I got it figured. I also manage to get root and twrp recovery but not both at the same time. After flashing and using twrp recovery I then lose root after reboot and have to flash a patched magisk bundle over odin again. Bit inconvenient but I only intend using twrp now and then for backup/recovery.
Can you recommend a stable rom for this device - far too much google bloat on it for my liking. I tried latest lineage but found it unstable.

Just install LineageOS. Clean, no Bloat, everything smooth and you can have TWRP and Root/Magisk at the same time.
Depending on how much Google you want to have on your device, you might rather choose LOS+MG ( https://lineage.microg.org/) I can highly recommend it. You get rid of Google which debloats it even more and is a plus for your privacy but almost everything works (at leat for me. But migh depend on your needs)
If you like Google, just use normal LineageOS (https://lineageos.org) + GAPPS
Thanks for reply. Will try the LOS ROM later. Wish Google crap would disappear totally. I hate it enormously.
By the way which folder am I looking for on that LOS ROM download page
Ah gts4lv I presume

Recently switched to using MicroG Lineage. Timely enough, MicroG passes the SafetyNet now as per the instructions mentioned below and indicated in the attached screenshot. For the fingerprint, I had selected the T720 from the list.

Along with Aurora store installed as a service, I think you don't need Google anymore.

I'm having some problem here:
I can install LineageOS, I can root/Magisk, I can have TWRP, but not all together at once.
Can you help me on how to do this?
Working on a SM-T725 of course, actually rooted, lineage and TWRP installed, but my Magisk can't install modules, it seems it doens't have root privileges.
Thanks in advance for your answer
anybody have an updated one, the file has been archived on the said link... thanks in advance

It does work, I patched it, flashed as AP, and root is present.
However, I have a weird issue now — when the display is turned off, either using the power button, or automatically after the timeout set in settings — it doesn’t turn back on for me now. When I press the power button now, the Tab goes on, but the display stays off.
Thought it was due to turning off autobrightness, think I’ve seen historically somewhere such behavior. But no, even when I turned autobrightness on now, it won’t come back on now. Every time it goes off, I have to force reboot, to make it turn back on.
Any idea what can be causing this?

I've tested, and I haven't got this issue. Try to turn on the "Magisk Core Only Mode" and reboot. It may be caused by some module.
By the way, the boot file I uploaded is only for Galaxy Tab S7+ T970, software version TH1. What's the model and software version of your device?
OK, that's the reason, I've got T976B. Will have to wait for the firmware for it and patch it then — currently not yet on sammobile…
I thought I checked that yours was the same version, but apparently not…

I've found the firmware for T976B. Use Samfirm to search SM-T976B, region DBT. Flash the latest firmware and then patch the boot file and flash it.

I'm surprised — never used samfirm, thought it was obsolete, only always downloaded from the sammobile site…
You know, the tab s6 is the first device I've owned and not rooted.
I have instead installed samsung package disabler, pushed through a couple of ADB commands for shortcutter and gsam battery monitor. Honestly in practical terms I don't believe root is an advantage any more, infact it causes more problems than it solves.
There are apps avaliable now on the play store that with the granting of permissions can do most of if not all of what only rooted apps could do in the past eg. Xposed edge has been replaced with Edge gestures.
Granted there are some notable exceptions such as backup apps and kernel tweakers but nothing game changing.
I won't be rooting my tab s7 plus when it arrives for aforementioned reasons.

Yes you do, you just haven't come across one yet but you will. Widvine l1 support, losing your warranty after unlocking your bootloader are just two obvious ones.
I would like to know what you gain from rooting an 855 soc apart from what I have already mentioned? Not being sarcastic, honestly would like to know. Even true full custom roms probably will be very limited on a tablet, I'm guessing DEX is a pain to incorporate bugfree.
I can confirm it is working fine in a S7+ (SM-T970 EUX). At least in my case.
-Unlock OEM (under developer options)
-Boot in download mode (with the tablet powered down, press volume up + volume down and connect usb cable to PC)
-Long press volume up to unlock bootloader (you will lose all your data!)
-Download the original firmware (Using SamFirm),
-Flash it using ODIN in donwload mode (Optional, just to make sure you are using the same image you are going to patch)
-Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP_xxxx tar file.
-Decompress the lz4 to get the uncompressed boot.img
-Copy the file to the tablet
-Patch it using the latest Magisk Manager.
-Copy the patched boot image back to the PC.
-Recompress it as boot.img.tar
-Flash it using AP slot in Odin and reboot tablet.
You are done! Magisk manager shloud say now it is rooted. (you will also have a BIG warning every time the tablet is powered on, telling you how irresponsable and despicable you are by modifying the device)
Thanks to Nightmare0 and all the others that pointed the tools and hints to do it!

I have a brand new Galaxy A21 (SM-S215DL). In Developer Options, there is NO OEM Unlock toggle (not even a grayed out one; it simply does NOT exist anywhere in settings). I have tried several different variants of the date/time trick to try to get it to appear, and none of them worked. But while in Download Mode, KG Status is shown as `CHECKING`, so doesn't that mean it should at least be visible? Do I even need to unlock my bootloader? Is it even possible?
Using Frija, I managed to get what I believe to be the correct stock firmware for my device. I also grabbed both of the latest official and patched versions of Odin. Flashing the stock firmware works, but flashing the patched Magisk AP fails with an AUTH error for file `vbmeta.img`, which leads me to believe that I actually DO need to unlock my bootloader... but if that's the case, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do so without the OEM toggle.
Is there anything else can I try?

I also have the Samsung A21 from T Mobile (SM-A21UZKATMB). The phone is unlocked by T Mobile but there is no OEM bootloader unlock button under the Developer mode. Changing the date (forward and backward in time), then run the software update did not solve the OEM bootloader unlock button problem. I suspect the carrier (T Mobile) has disabled this function. You will need to unlock the bootloader to install the stock firmware.
To those who have enabled the OEM bootloader in the A21. Is your phone locked to a carrier in the USA like Verizon or T Mobile?
I also have the SM215DL, using straight talk utilizing verizon service, I also cannot unlock the bootloader. Everything you guys did, I did. Nothing worked.
samsung has done this to all A series phones intended for the U.S. from what i understand
Where there's a will, there's a way... someone has messed with my phone too do doesn't that mean that they're altering the data/data partition to r/w. Did you guys try fastboot flashing unlock vs. fastboot oem unlock. I'm going to contact Samsung about this and let u all know what's up.
And also why would there be a usb debugging port if this phone can't be modded? Idon't know the answer but maybe someone more expediency could come in and help us out. I also wonder if the flash_image command or just dd it would bypass it?

forum.xda-developers.com
... and u shure, it its for the A21s or for A21 ?
The only hope of getting root on this phone is if you find a Dev who's interested enough to build a bootstrap recovery. I've not looked at the firmware & have no idea if there's an exploit that would work for that purpose.
Bootstrap recovery was the only way of getting root/custom recovery back in the days of Motorola D2 & Droid X, the original Droid X. Motorola was THE phone for development... Liberty ROM, Gummy ROM, Simply Stunning, etc.
I would not hold out hopes for that to happen here.
Peace - MS

No, Samsung has done this to ALL North American models ever since the Galaxy S8. The bootloaders are not user-unlockable, like they are on international models. However, some models can be rooted via a software exploit if they're running very old firmware, or some models can even be bootloader unlocked via special files, if their firmware version is old enough

and where does one get 'TWRP' for the Samsung Galaxy A21S?? Thanks for the post its very detailed with very clear instructions, and i agree with you this is the tried and tested and perfect way of rooting your phone, only problem is that this is an unperect world a world where 'TWRP' for the SM-A217F does not exist
I just received a refurbished SM-S215DL (A21,) not as my provider's solution to the VoLTE soon to be required for 4G devices thing and right now it's a pretty severe downgrade for me since it lacks a lot of basic functionality I'm used to from my 2017 phone running LineageOS. Obviously it's pretty unlikely or probably outright impossible to ever see a real LineageOS ROM for this thing (and even if someone ever does it probably would be insanely unstable or incomplete,) but if I could at least root it (even if I have to manually patch or something) it would really help me out a lot. Has just nothing really been found short of sending some unknown person online some very very key device details and money (which I don't have or I'd be buying something else anyway)? (Also kind of suspicious that whatever method they're using isn't something available to the public anyway...)
I Bought a Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro (SM-g715u1) off of facebook marketplace. Upon initial start, it am told the device it controlled by an organization. I managed to disable the "work mode" but I cannot remove the Work account nor disable the 2 device admin apps which can remotely track and reset my device at any time apparently. The person is not replying back to my messages asking for a refund..
It came with "Hub" , which i did manage to uninstall but i feel like that isnt enough.
Is there anything i can do to block these device admin apps? Or remove everything entirely? MAybe a reflash if possible? Any advice is appreciated, even if its just to tell me im SOL!

yoooo! thank you! Im gonna try this.
well i cant flash, for some reason you cannot enter download mode on this phone. Seems like others have had a similar issue with this device
no luck with ADB either, adb reboot download just makes the phone restart normally
success! I was not able to flash but through a lengthy process involving wifi ADB, i managed to disable knox and therefore remove the work account bs and restrictions!
