I have a Galaxy Tab S2 (the verizon version) and i do not have the pin required to unlock the tablet and use it normally. The FRP lock is on so i cant do a reset, and i have tried everything i can and still keep getting errors. In Odin, i get the errors like "Complete write operation failed" and "cant open the serial com port" i have the correct firmware version for the tablet. Ive tried flashing with twrp and that didnt work. im not sure what to do at this point as it seems ive tried everything. any help is apreciated, also the product name is "SM-T817V"

hello everyone, this thread might seem like a repost to some of you, but since the answer has yet to be found on the other thread, might as well try asking about it myself
so i've got a galaxy s3 mini (the i8190 version, not the l or the n) it's in stock 4.1.2 international version. yesterday, out of nowhere the phone just keeps on rebooting after a few minutes of booting up ( it got to the lockscreen and home screen just fine, but it keeps rebooting after that). and i think, well might as well just flash something on top of this stock rom so i decided to get the cm11 from novafusion, along with odin and tried to flash it. it all goes well in odin, no problem at all (odin flashes green passed sign).
but the strange thing is, when the phone rebooted, it goes back to the stock rom, with all the apps intact and with stock recovery. so far, i've been trying to flash almost everything into this phone via odin and odin always says it succeeded but nevertheless, everything stays the same, i've tried flashing some custom roms, custom recoveries but it doesn't seem to work. and the flash counter never goes up, it still says "custom binary download : no"
i've also tried to go to stock recovery and tried to wipe data / factory reset the phone which it said it has done successfully but when i booted in, nothing changed. i'm still logged on as my account with all the apps and files intact.
this problem has also been asked here but no definitive answer seems to have surfaced there.
please, any help would be appreciated
I'm a complete newbie to android phone modding, and I was really proud of myself when I was able to install the Cyanogen 12.1 and Google Apps onto my Samsung S3 Mini. However, I made the mistake of trying to put my work email on it, which requires that my phone be encrypted. Well, I guess the encryption and rooted phone didn't want to play nice together, so I got the error message that my phone would be factory reset. Boo! Well, it got worse. Instead of a factory reset, my rooted phone now is stuck in what I have now learned is called a bootloop. Basically I turn my phone on, and the Cyanogen start screen (with the text "TEAMWIN") just infinitely flashes on the screen until I pull the battery.
I have tried using Odin 3.07 and cm12.1_golden.nova.20160210.ODIN_TWRP.tar.md5. I do the three button system boot, connect the usb, run Odin, get the phone recognized, and then install the .md5 in the PDA section of Odin. It tells me that it succeeded, but when I restart my phone it's still the same bootloop. I also tried swearing, but that didn't help either.
Has anyone else out there had experience with Cyanogen and this particular error? I would love to get this phone working again... preferably with either a Lollipop version of android or back to Cyanogen 12.1.
Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone.
So I've got an update if anyone's interested... I can't call it progress, but it's a different problem now.
I was able to download and use Odin to do what was shown on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548&highlight=root
Everything worked in Odin, the phone rebooted, and went to the Team Win Recovery Project diagnostics screen, rebooted again, and then to the samsung logo. However, it immediately goes to the "Encryption Failed" error screen, and the only option is to 'reset device'. Of course, doing this just reboots the phone and it then has the Team Win loading screen, Team Win Recovery Project diags screen, Samsung logo, and back to the 'Encryption Failed' screen again. So now I have a new infinite loop to solve. *sigh*
any thoughts?
Have you been able to get into TWRP? If you are, maybe you could wipe everything from there and flash the recovery version of your ROM.
I was able to put the stock bootloader onto the phone using Odin, download the original tar from here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I8190, then used the stock bootloader to install it from the sd card. Everything went fine, but now when I boot the phone it just hangs on the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini GT-i18190 start screen indefinitely. Is this progress, or have I created a new problem now?
You're playing around with heavy stuff. I won't recommend using an upgrade flash (CM over Odin) as an full flash. Please try flashing a stock image.
If you did something wrong to the partitioning, then it's likely to not allow you to do a successfull factory reset. Maybe you can try re-flashing a stock Odin image with PIT repartitioning.
Remember to try to backup the EFS folder, doing that kind of flash might wipe it.
I have a phone that I am trying to get working for my wife because we ran over her own S5 (long story)
Phone worked perfectly so I was like, cool, factory reset and put her SIM in. No problem right? WRONG!
Factory reset the phone and now it only gets to the ATT logo, then nothing else.
I have booted in recovery mode and cleared cache and reset the device. Still stuck on ATT logo.
I think I might have a corrupted ROM on my phone so I went searching for a firmware for this phone, which does not seem to exist anywhere on the internet.
Model is Sm-g870a
No damage to phone, like I said everything worked before factory reset. I tried one ROM that i found but it is not the correct version (footer is wrong and signature verification failed errors)
All I need is the STOCK ROM for this. Not rooted and no mods to any of the files.
Hello -
I've been a long time reader/lurker and have been able to resolve most issues reading and searching.
I have a G925A S6 Edge variant. It came to me with a blue screen stating "System Software Not Authorized by AT&T". I have downloaded various ODIN images and applied and I get the same results no matter what.
The phone requires resetting a few times to boot. When it finally boots, I receive several app crash errors. I have tried to install TWRP and it fails and gives a secure error in download mode.
I know the phone isnt unlocked and I cannot fine the OEM unlock setting anywhere in settings which is probably causing the issue.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

You not reading enough. Phone have lock bootloader and you can't unlock at all as of now. This mean you can't use any other recovery then stock.

Thanks.
I was asking about TWRP only because I cant get the phone to behave properly. No matter what version I use, I get constant force closes on tons of apps...
Ive tried all the below versions:
G925AUCS5DPJ1
G925AUCS6DQC1
G925AUCS6EQE1
G925AUCU1AOCE
G925AUCU6EQCF
Im currently on the Nougat version G925AUCS6EQE1.
After I flashed each version in ODIN, I had to force reboot a few times to get past dm-verify and "No command" errors. Eventually, I got it to boot. From then on out it boots properly.
One other oddity, is under "Service", it says KT twophone service" - in settings.
I have no idea what the previous owner did to get it locked up on the "System software not authorized" message, but the phone would do nothing until I ran ODIN.

No command it is normal. Just wait for phone to start. Then go to recovery and do factory reset.
BTW. Are you sure it is G925A model, just asking to be sure.

Yes - SM-G925A printed on back and shows on download mode screen.

Great. Try ODIN again and flash E1. This time when you see "No command " just wait and let boot all the way. Then restart in recovery and factory reset. Reboot and let us know what you got.

Hi guys! I've been looking for help in the site all day now and I've decided to ask for more specific help.
I have a Note5 SM-N920l, I bought it online, I believe it's Korean. It's factory unlocked or international, something like that. And was running the Android Nougat 7.
I successfully rooted it and also installed Magisk. It was working great but while trying to get Pokemon Go to work, another story, I tried switching different settings and I turned off the OEM unlock. From what I understand (I am a noob) that has to do with the FRP. I had turned it on to be able to flash stuff onto the phone and I turned it off again and I forgot to turn it on... and I turned off my phone.
I was stuck in the booting screen with the red letters on top that read "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". I tried booting into my custom recovery but FRP doesn't allow that. I can get into Download mode but when I try to flash things in ODIN the FRP block comes up and doesn't allow anything. (Tried to flash the firmware)
After trying to flash some things I am stuck with a blue screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." I downloaded said software and it can't find my S/N. So it has not helped me either. I also downloaded Kies but it is stuck in "Connecting".
I don't know what else to do. I don't mind losing all the data and personal files in my phone, I'd like to know if there is a way to factory reset it or wipe it or remove the FRP. I am desperate, this is my only phone and I really need it. I'd appreciate any help I can get.
