I can't boot up, can't get into recovery. I can only get into download mode. No matter what TWRP I flash, it says "Custom Binary(BOOT) Block By FRP Lock" on the Downloading screen.
I tried flashing stock 5.1.1 odin, 5.1.1 bootloader/modem, etc. Can't get past this to get into recovery or boot the device. Any suggestions??
EDIT: Good news! Flashing the stock 5.1.1 odin image worked . (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841)
It even preserved my data and everything (I guess b/c I was on the leaked 5.1.1). I'll probably just back up some things and start fresh on the stock software, but I'm just glad to have it working.

I was running the G925T (edge) leaked 5.1.1 rom ([5.1.1][ROM][TW][OE6] Blck/TW), which worked well for the month that I used it. I had TWRP from that thread installed as well (I think it was 2.8.6.x). Everything was good at this point.
Where I am now:
When I power the device on, it says:
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
When I try to enter Recovery, it says:
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock.
What I did to get here:
SHORT VERSION - flashed latest modem and bootloader for G925T (edge) via Odin.
LONG VERSION
Last night I attempted to flash (via ODIN) the G925T bootloader, modem, and TWRP for this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
G92xF(D)/T Galaxy S6 Universal Odexed Pure edition ROM
Based on the latest Samsung Stock G925F XXU2BOFJ Lollipop 5.1.1 firmware (Base build date: 20-JUN-2015)
NOTE: I didn't ever get to flash the ROM because the trouble started when trying to flash the bootloader/modem via ODIN.
- Odexed Pure Edition: Odexed & 100% original/Stock files!
Steps followed:
Do exactly step-by-step the following things:
- Unplug your Phone (IMPORTANT!)
- Turn your Phone completely off (This is IMPORTANT)
- Start your Phone in download mode on this way: Press Vol down + Home + Power buttons till the screen turns on, press Vol Up to continue (Only enter download mode on this way, otherwise it won't work!!)[/B]
- Open Odin 3.10.6 on your PC (Make sure you're using this version of Odin, other versions won't work correctly maybe!)
- Click on the 'BL' button, and load in your BOOTLOADER tar.md5 file for your model
- Click on the 'CP' button, and load in your MODEM tar.md5 file for your model
- DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE (you can brick your phone if you choose other settings in Odin)
- Now Connect your phone to your computer (DO NOT connect your phone before this step, otherwise it won't work!)
- Click on the Start button
- Wait till it finish flashing.
- Your phone reboots automatically after flashing. <--- device never rebooted because ODIN said Failed instead of Successful.
I then tried to flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 (link below) since maybe that had to be flashed before the bootloader/modem, but it failed too.
Links:
Odin 3.10.6
DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555153
[G925T] Odin Bootloader/Modem Packages:
5.1.1 Bootloader: G925T-UVU2COF6
DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766210
5.1.1 Modem: G925T-UVU2COF6
DOWNLOAD - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766211
You also have to update your TWRP to the latest version (2.8.7.1 or newer) when flashing this.
DOWNLOAD - http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar
Is there a file I can Odin flash to disable FRP Lock? I can't boot up to turn it off.
If not, what are my options from here? Any way to preserve SDCARD or even /Data?
If all else fails, what Odin file should I flash to get back to stock?
EDIT: Regardless of what I try to flash in Odin (recovery, kernel, TWRP, modem), it begins the process but then fails because the phone states "_______ is not SEANDROID enforcing" and states FRP lock is on.

SmartSwitch isn't detecting my phone (although Odin does). What mode should it be in? I can get into Download Mode, but that's about it!
Your biggest problem right now is getting past FRP / factory reset protection, the only way to avoid this would have been to turn on bootloader unlock in "developer options"
OEM unlocking.
The security system is protecting your phone from you.
You need to be able to smartswitch back to stock but since your device status was not official, custom after running odin, root or anything else you may have done with root, smartswitch won't recognize your phone.
Without "OEM unlocking" on, the phone will turn on you.
The purpose of this security is to prevent your lost or stolen phone from been modified in any way and activated with another carrier.
Maybe tmobile has a procedure for returning phone back to normal.

Guys at the store couldn't do anything unfortunately. I guess it's just a brick now?
EDIT: The leaked 5.1.1 didn't have that option in dev options either. I guess running the leaked 5.1.1 is where I screwed up, even though it worked great while actually using it. I didn't have root, but I had TWRP recovery.
Would flashing the stock image work since it's not a custom one? I'm downloading it now from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
I'm guessing it won't work or else you would have suggested it. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm open to it!
It seems like there must be a way to disable FRP with an Odin flash, but maybe not.

After looking over article I give it a thumbs up, it may work for you.
Thats the problem with leaked updates or firmware, sometimes devs take shortcuts in order to package it for flashing and security stuff gets left out.
The ota 5.1.1, shows the option to turn on unlock bootloader .
Keep us posted, good luck.

Good news! Flashing the stock 5.1.1 odin image worked .
It even preserved my data and everything (I guess b/c I was on the leaked 5.1.1). I'll probably just back up some things and start fresh on the stock software, but I'm just glad to have it working. Thanks for taking the time to help out!

Glad to hear, don't forget about the oem unlocking in developer options.
Read carefully before you flash, and setup smartswitch on your pc, do a backup just in case.

Thanks for replying, by the way. I got locked when i am still on 5.0.2 and i flash the bootloader and the modem. It was the modem of 5.1.1 didn't go through.
Will it be flashed through the 5.1.1 firmware, if not, any other options can solve the frp locked? Thanks
You need to flash 5.0.2 stock firmware with Odin, then maybe.
You can't flash anything that's 5.1.1 on your phone.

tried, still failed in odin. I think is may be because my bootloader is actually 5.1.1's.
However, I saw above said flash 5.1.1 odin image ? what is that? Thanks.
solve it by flash 5.1.1 tar via odin as above said. thanks.

hi guys,
has anyone successfully rooted 5.1.1 with this method?
I'm using e500h, followed all the steps and stucked at Samsung logo after installing supersu.zip.
what I did...
1. Upgraded to 5.1.1 via odin using India firmware.
2. Flashed twrp, no problem found.
3. Flashed the latest stable supersu, stucked at Samsung logo.
4. Flashed the lastest beta supersu, same problem.
Even if I installed supersu via Play, it said the phone must be rooted manually first.
Now I'm back to kitkat
Any idea guys?

I too had that problem. I flashed 5.x and 4.4.2 back and forth few times, wiped/formated everything and factory reset (while you have 5.x and TWRP) including hard reset. For some reason, it went ok and I'm able to use Kitkat again.
I think it may not be the proper way to do it. I just tried every possible thing that I can think of.
I also tried Kingroot, not working. Bummer!
Someone please email chainfire the boot.img or kernel.img he may listen to us and update cf-auto-root ?

Its not recovery fault its SAMSUNG. normal root flash will not work on stock anyhow and even chainfire knows it. this is the same issue were S6 Edge suffered too. its security which checks any modification in system partition on boot and if found it wont allow system to boot thus causing bootloop and at no way recovery is at fault!
New build is UP!
KINDLY DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU IT WILL BOOTLOOP DEVICE!

Hello Everyone!
I'm stuck!!! If anyone can help, it is so appreciated!
I attempted to root my subject named device using ODIN following these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/development/root-cf-auto-root-t2905495
Everything seems to go as planned until restart.. the tablet continuously reboots, over and over, but fails to load.
I have no clue what to do from here, so this is my only option... ask those who have much more knowledge than me!
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your assistance.
That's called a bootloop. Something went wrong with flashing. What is a subject named device? That autoroot method only works for smp600 that is already running stock 5.1 or 4.4.2 . Boot into downloadmode using the appropriate buttons, then Download stock firmarwe from sammobile.Com and flash via Odin to get back a working device.
Which build are you on? If it is 5.1.1, that method will result in a bootloop if you try to root.
Use this instead

The tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Model SM-P600.
Not sure about the build.... but I will most definitely checkout the link you provided - thanks!
Question, can I flash a different rom rather than stock?
Also, I was just able to flash TWRP via ODIN and was able to get TWRP to load on the device. I'm hoping to flash a custom rom from the external SD via TWRP. I don't care which one at this point.. just need to get the tablet functional again and get a backup saved lol.

Here is "how to" instruction by me - post #225 for upgrade to the latest 5.1.1 and root your device. Once done and you want custom rom, just boot into twrp and flash any custom rom that you like. Let me know if you have issue.

Hey guys I have a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition SMP-600 and the lollipop update has been out for a while now, but I haven't updated because I had TWRP recovery, and just yesterday I flashed the stock recovery in hopes of updating to 5.1.1 via OTA, everything went fine until I entered recovery, in the middle of the update process it says error and reboots, and prompts me to update via kies. So I was wondering if I have to unroot to be able to update to 5.1.1 or I was doing something wrong. So please help me thanks:laugh:
P.S I have knox disabled with titanium backup

Just follow this direction to flash 5.1.1 stock rom and do root. You should be fine. Power off the device, then Just hold down vol down, home and power button to boot to Odin (download mode) then follow the direction to flash and root. Don't let that error message scare you.

Thanks for the clear up, but I have slow internet connection, and the samfirmware downloader tool takes forever, so I was wondering if you have the 5.1.1 firmware, could you possibly upload it to mega, or mediafire, because on the sammobile website you can't use IDM without premium, so the downloads are SUPER SLOW, but you can use IDM on mega, and mediafire so it would download 5x faster, so if you could possibly upload the 5.1.1 stock firmware to mega, or mediafire that would be greatly appreciated.

DONE! Then your phone should reboot and you'll see the Android icon/Boot Logo sequence
Check your phone for any updates while you are on this fresh new install to be on the latest firmware
BONUS! In case you get stuck in download mode
Hold Volume Up+Down Home+Power buttons
Your phone should exit and reboot
Thank you for this! Very much appreciated.
You're welcome, new firmware mirror up
Thanks for this thread. I have MM stock, but the hotspot now requires a reboot to get it working. Can I use this method to flash back to Lollipop? I saw a thread saying you cannot flash anything older than 5.1.1. That was an older thread, and basically he was told he can't flash 5.0.2 back on his S6 because he already had 5.1.1.

Well, I flashed my stock Note 5 rom over to the MM leak and now I'm stuck with it till the official release is out and I can flash back to stock and receive the latest official updates as they come out.
What happened was I wiped the drive and then flashed the lower # official roms and all it did was bootloop or just wouldn't flash the version at all and would just give me an error while trying to flash.
probleme

my phone stiil blocked on recovery mode after mm 8.0 download with dm-verity verification failed. Chek drk first i can try this ?
I flashed backed to 5.1.1, I left my phone sitting with wifi enabled, sprint downloaded the 6.0.1 update and gave me no choice but to install it again. I had no way to back out of it. I put 5.1.1 on my phone twice today and it keeps sending me to MM. Is there a way to flash back to 5.1.1 and disable OTA without rooting the phone..? if not then you really can't go back because Sprint will force the update to your phone.
i guess there should be an option in setting/update for you to uncheck the "update".

The DRK error means that someone changed your phone's IMEI but did it improperly. Now the phone will not even turn on past the Samsung screen. I run phone a business and offer a service to fix it - PM me if interested

wait a minute... you can roll back a stock unrooted rom without having to root??
I need tether. I have to have tether. They forced the Marshmallow update without my permission. Complete BS. Now I have no tether.

Rolling back is as simple as using ODIN and flash the stock rom, I rooted 6.0.1 and its starting to grow on me but I can flash back to stock 5.1.1 even if I was not rooted, I only root because like you I need tether and so far this was the only way on 6.0.1 MM
Man oh man, I thought I broke my charging port the day after I rooted. I was about to cry myself to sleep for the next 2 months.
Going to MM
Should I use this to go back to stock and then take the OTA to get to the latest firmware? Or would it be a better idea to download the current firmware from Sammobile?

This guide should help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
I can't say if it actually works as I live in the US and my phone is not unlocked, but it seems to have helped others.
Here a link for the latest stock TAR files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

This is a very old thread. That error means that your phone has updated to a software version of 6 or 7 and you can't revert back to 5.

More accurately, it means that your bootloader version is 4, and you can't flash anything lower.
But no, you can't go back to Android 5
