i have had my device rooted since the week i got it in october successfully, no issues. when i got the phone it was on the oi6 firmware, rooted it and put MOAR rom on it, no issues. then on the 23rd the day before i was going to go out of town i changed my primary google account password on my device, and for some reason i couldnt tell you why other than it didnt seem that it would be of any significance that OEM UNLOCK option was enabled so i turned it off not thinking anything of it, and right after i reboot the phone i found myself in a bootloop. only going to samsung galaxy note 5 powered by android with little red writing at top that says custom binary blocked by FRP lock. so i did some research and it became obvious what my issue was that the oem unlock should never had been touched. from what i figure, but that didnt validate why i was never given the chance to actually verify my account being that the device hasnt booted back into the os or any screen other than the splash screen i mentioned and download mode. thats the only two things i can access my download screen reads this

Seems this guy got his working
Try use Samsung KIES (or Samsung Smart Switch) on Windows PC to flash/restore your firmware. I've never had to this way though.
And BTW. This is not a "hard brick", so your thread title is misleading. It's "soft"...

I'm sorry, this is where my help ends.
Awfully suspicious if you can't find your serial number.
They all come on the sticker that seals the two halves of the box. This is standard from Samsung.
And you're in the wrong forum. .

mate, its really nothing to worry about, it isnt hard bricked,
i had the exam same issue, that oem lock can be a real pain in the arse,
all you need to do is download the firmware, and i mean not just the same android version, but the same, as in oc1 ok1, what ever version you were rocking,
in my case it was the latest firmware available on sammobile,
and flash it via odin,
after that you must wipe cache, data, and factory reset to be a able to use your phone,
once booted,
you can login with you google account, enable oem unlock from dev mode, and install custom recovery and do what you do from there.
cheers

So long as you are using genuine Samsung firmware or smart switch you do not need OEM unlocked.
If Odin is not recognizing your phone something has gone wrong with either your drivers or your phone is in a bad state.
Power down your phone, if you have to because it is restarting, catch it so you get back into download mode.
Then follow these steps exactly as they are laid out.
Open Smart Switch, click MORE, click Emergency software recovery and initialization, click device initialization, type in your model number using caps and dashes such as SM-N9200 or whatever your device is, then input your serial number again using caps for all the letters in your SN, finally connect your phone to your PC and continue with the prompts from Smart Switch.
The problem is since you have a carrier version, smart switch may not work. There was a guy who said it would not work for an AT&T phone.
Good luck.
Edit: I checked in smart switch using the sprint model number and it took it so you should be good to go.

yes i can get it in download mode ive installed the drivers from samsung website for the note 5, and installed them. is there other drivers i should install fgor it to recognize it? i also am successful in getting smart switch to recognize the SM-N920P for my phone model but i am unclear on how to obtain the serial number that smart switch wants. ive tried the dec hex the imei esn hex and the spc none of which it accepts. i have the box and it doesnt say serial number anywhere so im lost when i get to that point

That is a problem then because you need that number. It should be labeled SN and should be a mix of letters and numbers. Perhaps sprint keeps those records on file.
Good luck.
So I got the infamous FRP lock, now I know you have to flash back to stock to remove it.
The Problem is, every single time I'm flashing back to Marshmallow on my Note 5, it fails saying "Device does not have DRK, Please install DRK first....so I'm unable to even get my phone to boot back properly. Then the System status is still showing "Custom" so is there anyway I can get out of this loop, or should I just give up ?
I tried Using Chimera Tools, because it's suppose to be able to fix the FRP lock, but that was shady \ and they pretty much scammed me out of near 70 bucks (whatever, blocked my IP address and locked my account, so there's no way for me to actually get my money back (disputing it on paypal right now)
I have a T-Mobile Us Variant SM-N920T
Also it says "Device Does not have DRK "Device Root Key" Contact to SW, Please Flash ENG Binary then install DRK
What should I do ?

Try using Samsung SmartSwitch
Or
Try flashing your stock firmware for your country/region/carrier via Odin. Do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE

Yup thats exactlyy what Ive done.
1) download odin
2)download stock ROM from sammobile
3)flash them via odin
4) done.
I've seen alot of people asking about it online so heres the solution if someones looking maybe they will see that.
Thanks anyways
This all started when i accidentally deleted a text message that i needed, i did a search on google how to recover a text message. I downloaded some software that was recommended on a reputable site, i scanned the file with Kaspersky etc and it was fine.
The software was pretty straight forward to use, you basically needed to go into developer mode to enable debugging which was easy enough and the software did the rest, it said on the site that rooting wasn't needed.
Anyway, it didn't recover the text message. After i disconnected my Note 5 from the PC i had this Security notification warning coming up which says "Unauthorised actions have been detected, restart your device", i've done that several times and nothing happens. I've tried going into the phone updates but it won't even allow me to connect to the update servers as i get a message which says
"The operating system on your device has been modified in an unathorised way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your PC or visit a customer service centre".
I've tried doing updates via Smart Switch but i can't even check if i'm upto date or not, i tried a hard reset via the home button, volume up switch and the power button but that hasn't done anything. The phone seems to function normally but it has this constant security notification being displayed.
I've tried going into the download mode to check the knox counter but a big yellow triangle comes up first with an exclamation mark inside it with a white android man underneath and it says under that "No Command , it pauses for a while then the boot and reset option list eventually appears, it's got yellow writing above the list saying Android Recovery but nowhere does it say the knox counter.
Before the above this is a UAE Note5 that is standard and hasn't been rooted, it's a stock phone.
Any ideas as to what i can try or do next ?
Do you have a link to this software you used?
One was called FonePaw, that didn't work so the one that i tried after seem to give me all these issues, that one was called Dr.Fone Toolkit for Android, version 8.3.3.64
It wouldn't let me post a link saying something about me being a new member.
This is the strange thing, ive been into the download screen a few times via the home/volume up and power button. Where normally you get a nice neat list with the actions you can do, their was a lot of yellow text at the top left, the actual list was underneath all that yellow text, it didn't have the Knox line where it usually is. I then downloaded PhoneInfo *Samsung* and that gave me a lot of info, it said the Knox was 0x0
Download mode screen says:

Thanks Darren, i've updated the info from the download screen above.
One quick question, i've never flashed a phone before, i've flashed graphics cards etc. Do you need to remove the SIM card ?
Thanks Darren, do you have a link to the latest genuine version of Odin, sorry to be a pain mate, it's just i aint done it before and want to make sure i have the right version lol

No, you do not need to remove the SIM Card.
Here is a link to Odin 3.12.3 in my OneDrive account...
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AojwsjavMvQdoFsfD1CA-MEZbvr6
Works perfectly and is a stock version of Odin with no modifications.
Sent from my Samsung SM-G955U using XDA Labs
Thanks for all the help.
I flashed the phone in Odin with a stock ROM, the same UAE one that was previously on the phone. Touch Wood everything seems to be working fine with no error messages.
All sorted.....
Hi Seniors,
Please help, I need the combination file for Samsung Note 9 - N960FXXS2ARK3
Where can I find it?
Can I use a combination file that is similar but slightly different like revision date is not the same?
Regards,
Eric Lee
Just to be clear, I managed to download the Firmware and ODIN and managed to flash the firmware but I realized it does not remove FRP.
I understand that in order to remove FRP, I need the combination firmware. Is that correct?
Hi Senior Member,
I know the procedure and have read up about it online.
My problem is I cannot find the EXACT COMBINATION FILE for N960FXXS2ARK3.
What should I do?
Question: Can I flash it to a different firmware if I can find the combination file for that particular firmware?
Question: Or can I use a different combination file without the exact firmware?
Regards,
Eric Lee
Upon opening the phone, i get the 'welcome' & language selection page.
I then get a message: 'An unauthorised attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity.'
This is the error I am trying to overcome.

Then you can take it to an authorized Samsung repair center with your proof of purchase and they will bypass the FRP lock for you, if you actually legally own the phone.
