Need a bit of help here - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 ?

Make sure you flash all 4 ML2 files at the same time and make sure they ate in the right spots. It's should work, give it another shot and follow the directions to the letter.

bricked p10

please bare with me cause i do not speak english very well
i have a huawei p10 (VTR-L09C521B108)
a couple weeks ago (3 if i'm not wrong) an update appeared (security update) so i updated my phone normally (i've never unlocked the bootloader nor installed anything custom).... the update got stuck like for 1 hour and a half at reboot (huawei logo not moving) so i soft reset the phone by holding the power button. Phone shuts down then vibrates and the text "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly." error and have to press the Power Key to continue booting"... pressed the power button... nothing happened, stucked on that screen.... so i soft reset it again.... same.
drastic decision: factory reset... so i entered the menu, first wiped the cache (all ok), then wipe all the data... error. DAMN!
drastic decision #2: download and recovery firmware over wifi (recovery)... connected to wifi... getting package info from server.... getting package info failed...... DAMN DAMN DAMN!
drastic decision #3: flash firmware via microSD: (don't know if i needed an unlocked bootloader to flash original stock firmware).... failed to update. GOOOOSH! WHAT I CAN DO!??!?!?
extra info: I CAN get into fastboot mode, as i said bootloader locked, frp locked (it's my device, i have the box and everything), i don't mind losing all my data.
what can i do?
any help?
thanks in advance
I'd contact customer service. This is suggested if you encounter issues when updating. Otherwise you need to unlock your bootloader, voiding warranty, or rely on paid services (DC Phoenix, FunkyHuawei).

Can I unlock the bootloader from fastboot?
I'm willing to pay for DC Phoenix or another service if I can unlock the bootloader in the state that my phone is.

Just send your phone at your customer service and say anything, you don't know why the phone stop working.
I have used this tips for my phone. I have failed an factory reset and my phone go bricked. I have said to the customer service "My phone stop working suddently" and the customer service thinks a update problem of the phone.
Result : They change my mother board for free ^^' The warranty still active

[HELP] Bricked Nokia 7 Plus TA-1055 (single SIM)

Hi all, I've an italian Nokia 7 Plus TA-1055 single SIM.
I was on Oreo 8.1, unlocked bootloader, tried many GSI roms for tests and then I wanted to came back to stock rom for some phone call problems.
In order to do it, during my tests, I did a big mistake, I relocked again the bootloader with fastboot oem lock command without having stock boot, but one with TWRP inside instead :crying:
Now, at every boot, phone shows me a message like this: "Your device is corrupt. it can't be trusted and will not boot[...] the device will shutdown in 30 seconds[...]".
Now, I can boot in download mode, but I cannot flash or boot anything via fastboot, in order to unlock again, and even "nb0 tools FIH Mobile" could not help me (like many others, stucked at "Reflashing service boot" or similar).
Now, what can I do?
Thanks for who wants to help me, every help is appreciated

The "failed update" story do you think that may be right?

Bricked Redmi K20 Pro, stuck in Recovery Bootloop

After trying all kinds of roms from here, I decided to go back to basics and flash a global stable ROM.
In the Mi Flash software I forgot to check the "Clean All" button, and left the default(I don't know why this is the default) "Clean All and lock"
Now, I'm stuck in a recovery(can go to fastboot as well) bootloop, can't even turn it off unless the battery dies. It says at the bottom : "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I'm unable to flash it again using mi flash, unable to unlock it again as it gives me a weird chinese error, that translated, it think it says : "This phone has been used by account 622****418, by looking for phone lock"
Unable to boot into EDL, tried with a deep flash cable(seems it is not supported anymore)
I didn't open it, as I still have warranty(just bought it 3 weeks ago).
USB Debugging and OEM unlock are off as it was just flashed so it has default values.
The account on it is mine, but apparently mi Unlock is not recognizing it. My Mi account has different digits and I have permission to unlock the bootloader since last year.
Is there any way that I can go around this ?
I'm thankful for any advice that you have, guys...
Your device is most likely permanently bricked - when the bootloader is locked with a global ROM on a Chinese Xiaomi phone, nothing can be done to fix it - except one thing.
Are you sure you're booting into EDL mode correctly? I think you need to short two points on the main PCB while plugging in a USB cable. Xiaomi has a proprietary implementation of EDL mode - IIRC you need special Xiaomi software and a Mi account with the appropriate permissions (you can beg Xiaomi for permission on the Mi forums, or buy a working account from someone online). In EDL mode, you can re-flash the China ROM and recover the device.
Most likely, that's what I'll have to do, but I wanted to consume every chance and tutorial online before I remove the Back glass...SO it's Service Center or Test Point with auth accounts, which it's hard to get. I rather pay. Just wanted to make sure that it's bricked from my perspective, like I can't do anything to fix it from my end. Thanks
There is nothing you can do, the bootloader is now locked and you are on a rom that's not matching.
I used the Russian tech reported in one of the other threads about bricked k20 pro, costed me $20 and I needed to open up the phone, and do test point edl which were all easy and well worth it to save the $650 AUD I paid for the phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/destroyed-error-fastboot-locked-t3946012/page6
just add him on whatsapp and be nice to the tech and he will help you. I saw other posts if you ask him like an ass then he will ignore you.
I definitely don't want to open the phone. If it comes to that, I rather pay someone to do everything with proper tools and software.
You know, try to get in touch with xiaomi support. Explain The case and maybe they unlock it for you from there.
Hey Bro

Did you find any solution without edl method? Cause currently I'm facing the same problem.
The only solution here is to go into EDL Mode, if you dont have an authorized mi account, I recommend s-unlock.com they have an automated service and their own tool to flash your phone, go check them out. If you have doubt opening the phone, it isnt hard. Just use playing card first and dont remove it, then find an old credit card to continue further gently.

After removing the back of my phone and fixing it with the help of an awesome dude from Japan found on whatsapp...I tried to unlock my bootloader again, and realised that the account I had in my phone was not the one that I was entering on miUnlock. I couldn't see that because the error message at 99% was in trad Chinese.
Maybe it would've worked if I knew that. If you go into Fastboot and try to unlock it, what message do you get?

What can I do?

Yesterday (2nd febr) suddenly a message popped out saying I have an update. I tapped on it, the phone (P20 Pro) downloaded it all, it got installed but then this screen appeared:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2IiN-auezM
eRecovery "Update & System Recovery" is not working since its a device from Italia and I am in Hungary.
Bootloader locked. No root.
Any ideas? How can I make it good again?
Also, at the service center they told me I might need to replace the motherboard. Is it seriously possible I need to replace it? (I hope it is not necessary...)
If they replace it for free, backup your data and go for it.
If not, then use the modded hisuite and firmware finder update method that you can find on the forums here.
Thank you. Could you link it?
I tried FF, since my phone won't get over eRecovery, I only tried it with desktop.
The DNS in the router has been set correctly, but my phone just don't connect to it.
I had the same, mine died and had to be replaced
Thank you! I guess I will just sell it, and get a Xiaomi.
Did you claim the code to unlock when was available?. If you do.. just enter to bootloader mode.. unlock... and flash stock recovery. I can help you with that. If you don't... huawei services is the way to go.
Nope, I have the phone since Nov 2019 from a second-hand seller.
Huawei Services only replaces the motherboard for around 90.000 HUF ( around 273 €) what is simply don't worth it.

AFAIK eRecovery doesn't care about your current region. It will just try downloading the ROM for the region installed on your phone.
Did you get any error messages trying to use it?

Yes. "Get package info failed."

I know it sounds unrelated and stupid, but can you try and disable IPv6 on your router? I recall some issues with it regarding manual updates by eRecovery. Can be completely unrelated, but worth trying.
It is completely dead. Thanks for help!
