Custom binary blocked by FRP lock

Hello people.
So i got a custom recovery (TeamWin project). I disabled OEM Unlock on purpose, because i thought it wouldn't show the red line up in the bootscreen.
After trying to reboot, it wouldn't reboot, and i can't go into Recovery mode. I can't install any custom firmware too, because i've got the OEM Unlock set to "off"
Can someone please help, i can't find a topic similiar to my case, where i've bricked my phone and have no idea what to do.
Thanks to all those who are tying me to help <3.

As long as you can get it in the download mode you can use fastboot with a PC.

It doesn't recognize my device. I have tried every single tutorial found on google and still can't seem to unlock my bootloader.
Can't flash recovery nor the official stock firmware.

If you are on Windows you have to install the right (usb)driver.

Root rog 2

Hello everyone, i got rooted Rog Phone 2 and after rooting my rog phone 2 i dont have wifi signal anymore. i unroot my phone by flashing stock + tried flashing stock boot.img but wifi is still not working, what happened and how can i fix it?

@Barcovn Would you like to share how to deal with this?

https://m.facebook.com/groups/2059277157699287?view=permalink&id=2106812296279106
From my friend. He share the Tut for fixing it. Basically we upgraded new fw after open the phone so the boot.img extracted from the website will be difference with newest ota upgrade. Lost wifi. You have to manual flash the phone again

Right! As I haven't got the phone yet, didn't find out that new OTA have different boot.img. So as for now, rooting means just firmware on website is usable.

In the future if there is an update you will need to unroot, flash the original boot. Flash the rom update and then extract the new boot, patch it with magisk and flash the new patched boot to enjoy root again.
Personally I would rather stay on stock enjoy the timely OTA updates and keep my warranty.

Would appreciate your help.

After patching the boot.img did you boot into fastboot mode and runned the command for flashing the patched boot.img.
Was the flash successfull or not?
Please be specific in what step you are having issues with and what actions you took.

There is no such option with the stock recovery. Any way why do you need that. You don't need to use ADB commands to flash the patched boot.img.

So how do I flash the patched image? I really need to root this thing and would appreciate the help.
In Samsung phones it's pretty easy, boot into download mode and flash using odin, how to do that on this phone?

Anyone wanna report if there's any issues after rooting the device?

There used to be a fastboot mode on the ROG phone on Android Oreo, i am not sure if things changed with Android Pie.
Anyway try the hardware method to connect, turn your phone off and connect it to the PC using the side port make sure to hold the low volume key when connecting the phone to the PC. See if a fastboot mode black screen shows up.
If not:
On the bootloader screan the second one you showed. On your PC after going to your platform tools and running the cmd window from there type the command:
Fastboot devices
Does it recognize your device?, if it does run the 2 commands stated in step 8. But do it on your own risk if something goes wrong you might brick the device and if you are not able to flash back the stock boot i am afraid you will end up with a bricked device until a solution is suggested.

I can't get into fast boot mode. Tried all options, volume up, volume down, usb, no usb, debugging on, debugging off...
No luck.
$20 for whoever helps me get this thing rooted.

My Red Magic 3 stuck in fastboot mode.

My Red Magic 3 stuck in fastboot mode. I can enter the recovery mode. I tried to wipe all the data, and after that i reboot the phone, still stuck in fastboot mode. Also, because of the wipe, I think it disabled USB Debugging.
Can someone help me plz? The only way I know is take out the battery for while. But im not sure how to do that. Also, I can maybe wait for the battery run out, but it may take a long time.
sorry for my bad grammar

does anyone have the boot.img for ENCommon_V1.09? I think i might need that

Question {Solved} Stuck on fastboot

Hey guys.
Yesterday, something weird happend.
I wanted to flash an update (kernel) so I powered off my phone and started it as usual to get into recovery. But the only thing it does, was to start up into fastboot mode.
I'm being able to boot the ROM with
"fastboot continue" when connected to th PC.
First, I thought the recovery was broken so I reflashed it. Nothing happend. Only fastboot mode.
Then reflashed magisk, in the hope it will solve my issue. Nothing.
So what could it be? A broken boot.img? How could it be fixed? Still annoying

Hi,
Are you able to boot into recovery using fastboot boot recovery.img?

yes. that did it. After that, I was being able to power on as usual but not being able to start recovery. not via TRWP or via Vol+Up + Power or even Advanced Reboot -> Recovery.

So, could a reinstallation of the ROM solve the issue?

Ugh... Sorry I'm a but confused
So you flashed the recovery, booted into recovery via fastboot, and you could move around in the TWRP. Is my understanding correct?
Well if you don't have any data, nothing hurts to reinstall the ROM I guess

I'm only able to boot into recovery via fastboot boot recovery.img as you mentioned (I guess it's loaded directly from my HD to the phone but doesn't stay there ). Booting into recovery via Vol-Up+Power doesn't work anymore...

Weird. Haven't encountered this in rn10pro. But something similar happened on my previous phone I remember and that time flashing recovery, booting into it, then restarting to recover had worked. You can give it a shot.
If not wait for a better answer or flash the ROM

maybe you should try a fastboot flash of the stock rom for your region. Be careful not to lock the bootloader again. And patient, it takes about 5 minutes...

Didn't work. Always starts in fastboot. Already tried to flash twrp via twrp but didn't helped.
So I tried to flash my ROM again and that did the trick .
Phone boots normally and I'm able to boot into recovery via advanced restart and Vol-Up+Power.
Thank you guys, for trying to solve the issue.

Question Frozen In Download Mode

I've been at this for three days and can't find a solution. I can get in to recovery but when I hit reboot to bootloader it gets stuck in download mode. I can get back out.And the cycle repeats.... Have also done a reset. Any solutions for this besides sending it in for service? Thanks

Don't do anything hastily. Your phone should be fully operational before you install TWRP.

You need to explain what you mean by that and what things you did before this occured. Have you tried getting to download manually? By that I mean turning the tablet off and then holding vol up and down while plugging in the USB cable to the PC. Also, what happens when you try to boot to system?

Ah, so your problem is only that you can't use fastboot. Have you installed TWRP? This model doesn't support fastboot by itself. You have to first install TWRP to use fastboot.

You need to read this thread to install TWRP. You do it with Odin and not fastboot. Odin is what Samsung uses INSTEAD of fastboot.

I cannot install TWRP,..
1.I Shut down
2.Press power and Vol up button
3.Gets in Recovery
4. I scroll to Reboot to bootloader
5. Goes into download mode. Freezes
6.Press power and Vol down buttons
7.Goes back to home screen
8. Rinse and repeat

Do you have Odin running? Do you get the "added message" in Odin? That is the only way to tell if it is connected. You say it "freezes" but that is normal. So long as you get the added notice in Odin, you are ready to flash. If you don't get the "added" message, then you have to enter the download mode manually and NOT from the recovery menu. Also, have you unlocked the bootloader? That has to be the very first step. Nothing will work till you do that.

I think I know what your problem is. You've had other tablets and have always used fastboot for rooting, unlocking and flashing. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. Samsung doesn't work like other tablets. The ONLY time you use fastboot with this device is AFTER you have unlocked it, installed TWRP, rooted and want to install a GSI ROM. You DO NOT use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, root the tablet or flash TWRP, stock ROMs or custom ROMs. You can find instruction for unlocking the bootloader here. It is for the A7 but the A8 unlocks the same way. Then use the other link I posted for installing TWRP.

ONG he was using fastboot.

My understanding is different. The problem is that the download mode can't be started because there is a hangup. So how can you use Odin, which requires a working phone in download mode?
