Hi all,
I am trying to root my T810 according to the tutorial (the one from Android Biits).
It says I have to activate the "OEM Unlock" Option. I have managed to activate the Developer Options but "OEM Unlock" is simply not there.
Can anybody give me a hint, please?
BTW: Sorry for posting here but I was not allowed to post in Development.
Cheers,
hobo
Trying to figure out the same thing. Reading here I found that if it was unavailable after enabling developer options to go to settings/find my phone and disable the reactivation lock and then it would become so but that switch doesn't exist in find my phone to disable. Perhaps something changed in an update?

If you don't see the option in the Developer Option Settings, then you shouldn't need to enable it.

Hello,
before I open a new topic I thought it might be better to update thins one. Hopefully somebody reads this and can help me.
I have a Galaxy Tab S2 at home and want to give it some new "life" with the newest LineageOS (currently runs on Samsung Stock Android 7.0).
I wanted to flash a recovery in order to flash LineageOS. Problem is I'm already stuck one step before since I there is no "OEM unlock" point under the developer options.
Is there a way to fix this or a workaround?

When did you switch dev opt on?
Sometimes the OEM unlock switch is only seen after a day or two after dev opt are switched on.

Perhaps option is gone with an update you made.
Can't remember if it was there when I got my T810 only found it on my T825.
Did you try to flash TWRP already?
With my several flashs on the T825 I once forgot to activate it, flashing TWRP worked but it didn't boot up afterwards.
Then flashing stock again made it boot again.

Good morning,
isn't it necessary to have the TWRP for flashing?
I tried to flash TWRP with ODIN but it wasn't successful. That's why I wanted to start the recovery mode.

Of course it is.
Was just a question if you tried already even without OEM unlock.
What did Odin say about not being successful?
Which Odin and TWRP did you use?
Btw which S2 is yours?

I have the T810, Odin version is Odin3-v3.14.4, TWRP is twrp-3.3.1-0-gts210vewifi.img.
I saw the COM port up but it couldn't establish connection.

No, but I'll try.
So I should try to flash the TWRP without Recovery Mode, so basically the tablet connected to the PC?

So I tried with a different ODIN version and the (hopefully) correct twrp file and got this message after a while.
I couldn't upload the picture, hopefully this link works: https://ibb.co/zH0FDdx
Just to make sure I am doing everything right: Tablet is turned on and connected via USB with the PC. I start Oding, select the TWRP file in the row "AP" and start the flash?

Just to clarify : So I understand correctly that T810 is yours? Then the gts210wifi is the one to take.
If you mean "Download Mode" with "turned on" you're right.
If not, activate Dwnld mode 'cause that's the only way you can use Odin.
tar.md5 in AP is correct.
And deactivate "Auto reboot".
Restart manually directly into new TWRP.
Otherwise you see that the Samsung recovery gets revived if it starts by itself without you pressing the appropriate buttons to go into recovery.

Ok, I understand. The problem is I can't "activate" the download mode, this is how it should be done or? With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power.
It just boots normal if I press and hold this combo.

Might be on this device just Vol dwn + pwr.
Mine has hardware button probs, so I'm not gonna try if not necessary.
I have the same issue here... No OEM Unlock option. Flashing TWRP with Heimdall (main machine is Linux) and Odin (backup Windows machine) seems to work, but I just can't get into the TWRP recovery.
The steps I followed:
Developer options and USB debugging are on
Tablet is in Download mode
Then I use the heimdall command to flash the TWRP image with --no-reboot, it seems to work succesfully (ODIN says "Pass!")
unplug the USB and use HOME + Vol Down + Power to get it to reboot
the SECOND I see the screen go black, I use HOME + Vol Up + Power
However, the Screen gets stuck in "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 - powered by Android" no matter how long I hold the combination pressed.
Any tips?

I hope it helps
I flashed the TekHD rom, let the rom boot, and then tried to boot into recovery from the set up/welcome screen. Instead of booting into recovery, the phone screen is black with small red letters saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
I cant boot into recovery or the rom. I only get that message.
Help please.
Am able to access download mode. Gotta flash stock with ODin.
You must have forgot to flash the RMM fix. You either have to flash the RMM disabler or flash a custom Kernel that disables it that way before the first reboot after flashing TWRP. It's a new safety feature Samsung has introduced that locks the device after anything gets flashed or modified. Unfortunately, your only option is to re-odin stock files and then wait 7 days again for OEM unlock to appear.
After you get TWRP flashed again, mke sure you flash the fix or a custom Kernel.

yes because data needs to be sent to your phone...major facepalm moment...
indeed.. but anyway .. my question is why would that happen to me.. i was using the RomAur 4.0 CSA7 for pretty long now.. just flashed the new TGP kernel on it to test how it will do.. (its CSB3) .. it worked fine but after 2 reboots it kicked me in the face ... i couldnt unlock my phone anymore.. ore merely when i entered the pin the screen went black again.. then i tried to reflash the Kernel wich i was using all the time (Endurance Kernel for PIE) and then the "only official..." message came up .. is it possible that the CSB3 Kernel kicked my butt with the newest safety patch?

I already have my OEM unlocked in dev settings do I have to repeat the steps again? I mean flashing my country's fw and wait 7 days?
Hi i need some help here, i got the red message and when i enter to download mode and flash stock room from my country " just AP " odin just stay on "SetupConnection..." and then it says " <ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1).
looking at the logs, not only should all 4 .md5 be flashed as stated previously, but odin version should be latest 3.13.1 and be sure you are not trying to put older firmware revision than what the device's bootloader is on. and it cant hurt to check if cable is good and android device drivers installed too.
Ohhhhh i was flashing on 3.12 thanks a lot, now i want root my note 8, i was trying and i get that problem, can you help me please?

Good day! Please help. I have the situation when i am try to flash twrp on samsung s8 sm-g950fd. I have next massage appear in the downloading mode: " Only original binaries can be flashed". OEM unlock switch on - everithing ok. System Andorid 9.0. I am try to flash twrp in downloading mode, in the same time when i am start to flash, i am hold on the button on/off, volume up and bixby, but the phone not switch off., and this msg appear .Please help.
This morning I saw that I can update to the new Android 10 version on my Galaxy S10.
I was happy and of course updated directly.
Everything worked fine, the update was downloaded, installed and the phone rebooted.
And from there it hung in a boot loop.
I had already unlocked the bootloader 2 months ago, but only to flash the original firmware again because of an unsuccessful attempt to install TWRP.
Now the Galaxy S10 starts up, shows the information that the boot loader has been unlocked and then the boot logo and vibrates.
Then it goes straight off and starts again.
I cannot use the key combinations to get into the recovery or in the download mode.
How can I solve this problem ?
(Sorry for my bad englisch i come from germany)
You can try following:
Plug your phone in the PC with the USB cable. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and hopefully it will boot to download-mode.
Otherwise try (still plugged in) force shutdown/restart by pressing/ holding Volume Down + Power - as soon as the screen turns off shift to pressing/ holding Bixby + Volume Down for download-mode. Try it at few times as its all about timing.
If still no luck, unplug your phone and let the battery run out. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and plug in to get to download-mode. This may take some time as the phone needs to recharge a little before it reacts.
Once in download-mode flash your software before the update via Odin - I would use Home_CSC first trying to save your data.
Got exactly the same problem today. Don't know which one I flashed in november though
So how to keep (maybe) the data? flash only HOME_CSC?

Yes to using Home_CSC but to be safe I would flash all 4 files (AP - BL - CP - HomeCSC) as some people have reported their storage gets corrupted/ shows wrong capacity.
Use either Samsung 10 (BSKO) or latest Pie (ASJG). Both should be ok as you are flashing the bootloader when using all 4 files.

I got into the download mode.
I used SamFirm to download the firmware but it was Android 10
Right now i am downloading Andoid Pie from updato.com...
No premium, i am just a free member, so it shows me "20 Hours left"
Where can i download the latest SM-G973F Germany (DBT) Android Pie Firmware for free and without that high speed restriction ?
I think i have to put the home_csc file into the CSC field in odin ?
Didn't work for me, neither ASJG (Pie) nor BSKO (Q).
Had to wipe data, beause system nerver booted again.
Lost all my data. Congrats Samsung to this very best update mechanism. Nerver had on any Nexus nor OnePlus.
Maybe you have more luck.

I flashed G973FXXS3ASJG to my Galaxy S10.
First i tried only homeCSC but it was still brick.
Then i flashed only AP, it worked.
But after I set up my smartphone again, I saw that I only have 32 GB of storage even though my Galaxy S10 is the 128 GB version.
Then, as you said, I flashed all four files (AP - BL - CP - HomeCSC).
It still shows me that I only have 32 GB of storage

When I first read your post I thought:
Seriously…. Seriously…..
I mean, why the heck would you only flash one file (you were actually warned against this) when it is just as easy to fill-out all 4 slots in Odin? People amaze me!
Okay its Xmas, so back to helping:
‘What you have experienced is a side-effect of using Odin to flash an AP file to your device with the CSC slots left empty. Never flash a full AP file on this range of devices without also filling at least the HOME_CSC slot. It is safe, however, to flash only a recovery image in the AP slot.
To attempt to repair the damage, you need to boot to TWRP, select Advanced Wipe, tick Data, select Repair or Change File System followed by Resize File System. Your /data will return to its former size, but you will probably find you have lost some data.’
Above is quoted from #ianmacd
So, if your phone is on stock Pie (minimum ASIG), with OEM unlocked, try this to get TWRP installed in order to use above rescue.
Go here and download Multidisabler: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ynos/g97xf-multi-disabler-encryption-t3919714
Go here and download TWRP Magisk Patched: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ynos/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s10-magisk-t3919248
Now read post #2 in the TWRP thread for installation guidance…. When you get to no.10 flash the Multidisabler you downloaded instead and then skip to no.12
After no.12 reboot, boot back into TWRP and try the Data fix above.
If all goes well you will have full storage capacity again, TWRP installed and rooted with Magisk.

If the first two of my suggestions doesnt work for you then you have to let the phone bootloop until the battery dies/ runs dry and then try my third suggestion.

Hey Bro, I bricked my phone as well in the morning while updating to android 10 but I just had my bootlocker unlocked but no root on it. Could you tell me if there is any possibility to backup the stuff on my phone? Right not Im waiting for my battery to drain to 0% that I can get into download mode and try something out maybe you have a tip for me
Can someone send me a prepatched magisk ap file for HK 9730 Android 10. I don't know what I did. I just pre patched it myself and flashed with odin just like ANY other update but this time, it gets stuck at Samsung logo. I waited a good while too. Maybe I didn't have the right magisk version which is why I'm asking if someone has a pre patched that works, idk but I don't want to lose my data.

My suggestion is to download the complete stock firmware- be it Pie or 10 (Q) - and then when flashing all 4 files via Odin use the Home_CSC file to try to retain your data.
I use FRIJA to download firmwares as the d/l speed is very good.
Bear in mind, if you at some point intend to root and/or install TWRP your phone will be wiped in the process so backup your stuff before going down that road.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N9600) that will not boot. So far I have flashed 2 official firmwares with Odin, and on the first boot attempt after flashing, it will show a percentage bar that counts up to around 5 or so percent before skipping to 100 then looping again. It only does the percentage thing on the first boot after flashing. When I try a factory reset from the recovery I get a no pdp scenario error also. I have tried all that I can think of and even took it to a Samsung Service centre but no solution. I would really appreciate any help I can get.
Hello, people of XDA,
I had decided to restore my Galaxy A5 2015 (A500FU) back to TouchWiz. I had used Odin to flash the firmware back, and I had done the usual, flash into AP and left Auto-Restart on. I then realised, when the device was supposed to boot up, the screen when black and the phone turned off. I tried booting into download mode and into the recovery mode but nothing doesn't seem to work. I have even tried charging it but after 30 minutes, nothing seems to happen, even if I try to start up to download or recovery mode.
Help would be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
Josh
DEVICE DETAILS:
SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 2015
THREE NETWORK (H3G)
A3500FU MODEL
FIRMWARE FLASHED: ANDROID 4.4.4 A3500FUBTU
Why did you flash a firmware with and android version of 4.4.4 a.k.a kitkat? The latest is Marshmallow 6.1.0. What version of android did u have before u flashed kitkat? I think you flashed an old firmware over a more recent bootloader, which means u will be stuck and bootloop. Also, can you describe a bit more about what the problem of your device - like what actually happens when you hold the power button etc. Does you display turn on? You said u left it for charging for 30 Mins and the device still did not turn on... might be hardware related. When you try to boot into download mode or recovery, what happens on device? Please answer my questions and we might get closer to solving your problem.

I had the same problem but I still somehow rooted and installed twrp on my device without ever using oem unlock . I am pretty unsure on how I did it but I think I just used CF-Auto Root and then installed twrp later. The CF root file just rooted my phone somehow without me even finding the oem unlock. Just to say, if you are going to use CF, do at your own risk - Just search up how to root SM-a500F

i'm so sorry for not replying quickly, the device is completely unresponsive, wont even vibrate or charge. thats all i can say, its unusable. i will probably check the device for hardware issues soon.
Hi,
First check your device model is a500fu,
And check you flashed wich version twrp a3500fu
And flash file.i think file you flashed mismatch.
Conect charger and long press volume down button and power button .check booting or not.if not boot
Confirm wrong flash file you flashed...
I have an American S6 Lite; I'm stuck in boot loop after applying APAOSP and APLineage from the other threads listed here.
Are there working vanilla Android 10 ROMs for this device?
I followed the TWRP instructions here https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomlte.html and now my device is stuck in failed download mode, I can't get to the recovery menu and I can't even power it off.

No worries, that happened to me too.
Download stock-firmware for your device from Samsung (i use website samfrew.com), install "Patched Odin 3.14.1 3b" (you can Google it), connect the table with your PC, select the .tar file with AP and flash the firmware.
It worked for me, even with the tablet in stuck download mode.

The recovery you are trying to use is tailored for Tab S6 LTE and not Tab S6 Lite (they are completely different models). The Tab S6 Lite uses Exynos Chipset. There is no TWRP recovery yet for the Tab S6 Lite.

That explains a lot.
The other builds for this device don't work for mine - is there one that does? I'm just trying to get the tablet to work faster and more responsive by removing samsung bloatware BS.
I managed to get the device back and flash the stock ROM from https://cqa.samfrew.com/088d597e02a...87762249b/XAR-P610XXU2ATH5-20200814174401.zip
There was a lot of screwing with it due to power loss - since the screen was on constantly, I had to flash the stock rom bootloader (BL) using Odin with a USB port directly connected to the back of my computer since it provided the voltage necessary. It stopped showing me the broken download screen and started flickering boot looping again, where I plugged it in to a charger and let it set. It showed the power display (that it was charging) and I let it get to 100%.
After the stock rom was on and loading, I tried to flash Lineage again, but now I'm getting "Only stock roms are allowed to be flashed to the device". Googling around - it says I can only flash the stock rom? Forever? How do I unlock this?

I think you need to go through stock rom setup again and re-enable OEM unlock (also happened to me once)

Thanks, I thought this too - the option is completely missing from the developer options. Like it's not even listed.
The OEM download lock is still disabled, since I can flash things at all.

You need to wait 7 days, or manually set the time to a date a month back then the OEM unlock Option should appear again.

Turning off Wifi and automatic time and setting the date back or forward 1+ months didn't bring the option up.
I had to turn on and connect to wifi and let automatic time recognize that it has indeed been 7 days before the OEM option re-appeared. :'(

WiFi is a must before setting the time back if your device is not 7 days old.
