Don't get pissed at me. This has already been posted in the Q&A, however, I haven't had but one response and it didn't help. I'm a couple of days away from taking this thing to the shooting range. Please let me know if there are any other options. Thanks.
Scenario:
User had a Galaxy S6 T-Mobile and the USB would charge but not allow a data connection (no detection in windows).
Phone is rooted.
User was playing around in "developer options" and accidentally enabled OEM lock somehow.
Now the phone says "custom binary blocked by FRP lock" when the phone boots and then shuts off.
He gave it to me and I've read about several fixes involving Odin but I am unable to get any computer to detect the phone while in download mode.
I thought that maybe the USB module was bad so I meticulously removed and replaced the USB module (I have all the right tools after doing screen repairs for years).
It didn't make a difference. The phone will charge with USB but it won't boot except to download mode and it won't detect on any PC that I try it on. It's not a driver issue, it doesn't even detect at all so you never get to the install driver step.
Is this a brick now or is there any hope besides motherboard replacement?

custom binary blocked by FRP lock
I bought a Moto X (2014) with a broken/damaged screen for super cheap. When I bought it, it vibrated and made sounds so I knew it was functional. The next day, the alarm woke me up so I turned it off. The day after it happened again, so I just let it ring under a pillow until the phone died. Yesterday, the screen replacement finally arrived and I performed the switch myself.
When I tested the screen before closing it back up, the phone wouldn't boot, but the screen itself appeared to be functional so I closed it back up. The infamous green light issue was occurring, no doubt due to the fact that I let the battery drain completely then left it in a drawer for about a month, in addition to God knows what the previous owner had done to it.
After several hours of hooking it up to various chargers and cables and computers and performing a seemingly infinite number and duration of button combinations, it finally booted up, and started to charge normally.
Only then I realized it was still protected by the pattern code from the previous owner. Due to fear of FRP, I kept trying to crack the pattern code to no avail. Eventually I said frick it and went into bootloader mode to try and unlock the bootloader, but it turns out that adb is not enabled, and neither is the "allow bootloader unlock". So I said frick it and hit factory to reset the phone, but the phone simply rebooted. Odd. Alright, so I hooked it up to a computer in bootloader mode and performed fastboot erase userdata. Upon reboot, FRP had kicked in.
Hours of searching yielded various methods of bypassing this, none of which worked. However due to the blessing/curse (more on that later) that it's on Marshmallow, I was able to use a Google Assistant loophole to access pretty much the entire device (minus Google apps, including the play store). This included the settings app. To my dismay, I'm unable to activate dev options and the reset button is greyed out, no doubt due to a group policy preventing these functions until the owner's Google account is entered.
I came across a method that showed a lot of promise. Through the use of an app called Quick Shortcut Manager, it allows you to log into any Google account and once you reboot afterwards, FRP is no longer an issue. However in my case, since I seem to be exceptionally lucky, during the sign in process, the phone reboots unexpectedly. How very odd. Retried several times under various conditions, including Force Stopping all Google apps (which returns the navbar buttons, without function, and also the notification tray but not quick settings).
Alright. I installed Telegram via apk and logged in. As soon as I logged in, the phone reboots unexpectedly again, which leads me to believe that this random reboot occurs whenever ANY account is added to the device (because Telegram accounts are saved under Settings > Accounts).
Knowing I'm stuck with a locked bootloader and no way of unlocking it without accessing dev options which I'm unable to do, I decided to try flashing an earlier build. I downloaded 4.4.4 and 5.0.1 factory images and proceeded to try flashing 4.4.4, to no avail, since apparently downgrading is also impossible with a locked bootloader. Most commands returned a "remote failure" response. I continued anyway and upon reboot I discover that nothing has changed. I've tried this with both system images.
I tried RSD Lite as well but it won't even detect the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode (on Windows 10 Insider Preview). Tried with admin privileges. The "fastboot flash" option in the Config menu was greyed out for some reason.
I've hit a roadblock. I'm so ready to just toss this phone out the window but I decided to come here and ask for help first. Please, XDA. Do not fail me.
P.S. I've lost contact with the owner because I bought the phone on a local equivalent of Craigslist so neither the ad nor my communication with him still exists. And even if by some miracle I managed to find one, it would do me no favors if he would remove the account via Google Device Manager because I've already reset it. The only thing he can do for me is log into the phone using his email and password and then reset it, which would require going somewhere with WiFi that is also public all the while making sure he doesn't try to steal the phone back now that it's fixed.
Edit 2: Ever since I added the Telegram account, the phone is no longer usable, since it reboots unexpectedly as soon as it connects to WiFi and discovers that an account has been added to the device. I'm going to reset it again so I can continue using it with these limitations.
I remember once on a Samsung device I found a pre-rooted IMAGE file and flashed it via fastboot and that fixed everything. I can't seem to find anything of the sort for this phone though.
I've found instructions on how to convert a ZIP ROM into a system image, but those instructions are only for Linux.
Hello Guys !
I've buy MI 8, this is an amazing phone ! Is very beautiful.... I want to unlock bootloader but i must wait 360 hour !
Also i use the phone in english (I'm french) and i've installed Playstore.
I've unlock many xiaomi but still 72 hours. It's possible to unlock more fast ? I've read if we buy an premium account (i.mi.com) it's possible ?
Thank's for you help and answering, sorry for my poor english.
Best regards
Don't fall for any tricks which are available online. Nothing changes 360 hours wait time. I had one account in which it had 84 hours left, I did that 2 accounts trick now both my account has 360 hours waiting time lol

I try lot of things i found on google but xiaomi fix them... I still waiting but if someone have any solution to accelerate. Yes i'm impatient but i still wait 3 week to receive the phone, and i must again wait 2 week :crying:
um, there's a way. You need to crack up your phone and connect two dots on your board ,this will enable emergency download mode(9008 mode). Exact locations vary with your model.
Then you use one special engineering cable (you can make one with ordinary usb cable) to connect your phone to your computer.
Then press volume up and down and power at same time ,your phone will enter emergency download mode and now you can flash anything you want.
This is the way they use to repair bricked phones.

In China,you can unlock your mi 8 at once by using the old version of the bl unlock tools (an account with unlock permission is also required)

I think is fixed this "bug"
You think I can run an unlock procedure on a 4A redmi and then use the account on MI8? (so I won't have to reach the 15 days maybe less)
No, you have to week 15 days.
I have permissions on my account, i have unlocked my Redmi note 3 a few years ago, am i supposed to have to wait the 15 days? Wasn't it like 74h?
i tried to unlock my phone yesterday with my really old xiaomi account - but it showed me 360h of waiting time.
today i changed the account to one of my friends - he unlocked is mi6 couple month ago with a waiting time of 72h
but i got the same result -> 360h of waiting time.
maybe it was because i tried it before and should have used the other account directly..
many people unlocked the phone directly with an account which they used to unlock an other, not to old, xiaomi phone so you can give it a try.
my timer was resettet to 360h again Oo
How can I check how much time has passed? or do I have to try it after 15 days?
that would be pretty stupid if I try it a day before and then the time is reset

Just try to unlock it through the unlocker software, it will say the time left at 99%.

ah this works, thanks
Once 360 hours have passed, will the Bootloader unlock without problems, or can it give me an error and start the timer again?
The only things you can do is to wait...
My id also need 360h to unlock. But I changed to my bro's account and unlock immediately

This method is called EDL or deep cable mode, but in order to do it you need an special account code and Xiaomi doesn't offer them anymore.
I can't unlock my phone with the PIN I assigned it. I always use the same PIN, so I'm pretty sure it's not a keystroke error. When I enter the PIN, it says "incorrect pin" and makes me wait 30 seconds before trying again. I don't believe I've made any recent changes to the phone. I also started it in safe mode, and was still unable to get in with the PIN. Some research on the web suggests that this is an android bug that has not yet been fixed. I'd really prefer not to have to do a factory reset, because I have a lot of important photos on the phone.
Is there any chance of fixing this through the "delete password file through ADB" method? The phone has been connected to 2 laptops previously, but I'm unable to remember if I left ADB debugging enabled. I'm having trouble getting either computer to recognize it, though it shows up on linux command line through the "lsusb" command. Phone has stock ROM, not sure when last updated.
If there are any other methods likely to work, please let me know!
I'm not new to rooting and all. With that said, I'm not pretty good at this too. So all I wanted to know is that is there some kind of workaround to the 7 day wait. Like some modded version or anything like that.
Thanks in advance.
No, it does not exist. you have to wait 7 days.

Oh okay. So I have to keep my mobile connected to it for all that time? Or should I do "Add Account" in my mobile developer settings and wait 7 days to connect my mobile to my laptop?
exactly. add your MI account in the developer settings and OEM Unlock.
Then download MIUNLOCK, connect to the MI account and try the unlock. Then the timer starts.
Well, ik this sounds a bit dumb but i didn't quite get it.
The timer starts when:
I add my account in the developer settings
Or
I connect my phone to my lap and click on "unlock".
Also if its the second one. Do i have to keep my phone connected for 7 days and i can't use it?
The timer starts when you confirm that you want to unlock.
Afaik: You can disconnect it, you can use it, you can turn it off, you can take the SIM out. On the 7th day you need to turn it on again with SIM inside. Be careful not to start the 7 day timer again when the 7 days are over.
And how can I possibly "restart the timer".
Thanks for the reply!
No, there's no other way to skip the 7 days. Unless you try to unlock phone that ia older than 2 years, I believe, MiUnlock will automatically unlock it (need further confirmation, happens to some people)
I believe you can accidentally "restart" the countdown if you swap your sim with different sim that is used to request the unlock, or stay offline/airplane for too long (3-5 days). Safe bet is, keep your phone on, don't swap the sim, and stay connected to internet as best as you could until you have successfully unlocked it.
Ohh okay. I finally get it.
Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it.
Use it for few mins every other day. Connect to wifi, take picture, play soke game etc.

If you use your phone as always and as long you do nothing more with account settings or OEM unlock, you are OK.
The timer restart if you try the unlockprocedure again from start.

When starting with unlock you need to enable some settings in developer options.
After this you start the unlocktool, after a short time (99%) you see the wait time of 168 hours.
Everytime if you start the unlocktool after this, you see that waiting time will be lower.
But...........
If you change some of the before enabled settings in developer options, that clock starts again for 168 hours, because he thinks that this is the start of a new unlock attempt.
My advice: Stay away from settings for that week.
If you use your phone as always, nothing happens with resetting the wait clock.
If you start the unlocktool after 168 hours, everything runs as expected (100%) and you bootloader will be unlocked and all data will be erased. So make a backup before.
