Samsung Note 9, SM960F, won't go to odin download mode - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hi,
so I rooted my Samsung Note 9 successfully and used it for over 6 months, and for some reason I wanted to unroot the device, I uninstalled Magisk and then unchecked the OEM unlocking, it asked me to completely factory reset the device, I proceeded after verifying my Samsung Account, now my phone won't boot and it says 'Custom binary blocked by FRP lock". So I thought I have to Flash the Stock ROM on it and it will work but now my phone is not going into Odin Mode, I have tried all the button combinations. Important to note here is that upon pressing the power button the phone is not showing the Samsung logo (powered by android) thing either. Please help me with what should I do to install the stock ROM.
Thanks

ATT G900A - used OTA, attempted downgrading to 4.4.2, stuck on samsung logo

I recently got a new ATT galaxy s5 (G900A). Upon setting it up, I used OTA to take it from stock to the latest version which was 5.1.1 I believe.
I then failed to do thorough research and attempted to downgrade it to 4.4.2 which started causing problems.
I retracted my actions in chronological order to help in troubleshooting this situation:
Upgraded via OTA to 5.1.1
used odin 3.10.7 in AP mode with file "AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5"
Odin reported a failure after a few moments of me pressing the "start" button. for the above AP file. On the phone's screen (whilst in download mode) , it showed the progress bar as not being completed and also not progressing after Odin Failed. I had to pull battery to restart the phone.
restarted phone and it threw a splash screen saying to use kies recovery due to a firmware error.
entered download mode, used odin in AP mode to flash "G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5"
phone rebooted and hung on Samsung Galaxy S5 logo
entered recovery mode (vol up, home, power) to reset the cache, still hung up on samsung logo
entered recovery mode again to do factory reset/wipe, still hung on samsung logo
pulled battery, used odin in AP mode to flash file "G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5"
phone rebooted and hung on Samsung Galaxy S5 logo
I did quite a bit of searching around and have employed a few attempts at fixing the issue as listed above. I am still hanging on the Samsung logo though.
Could anyone offer me some insight on how to go about resolving this situation?
Thanks for your time!

Totally ran into exactly the same issue...I am trying to sort out the details of it today and will post up what I find...I believe the answer lies somewhere in getting back to stock OF3 firmware + OF3 kernel without root via ODIN .tar file but we shall see. Also ..I am currently running ODIN v3.09
Get the phone up and running
Ok this is what I did to get my phone back up and running,
What happened was I did what it said on the downgrade thread here on xda, it didn't work. But of course it left my phone stuck on download mode.
I used a program from z3x to download the pit file, that usually takes it out of download mode. Then I booted into recovery, I had the 4.2 recovery on a 5.0 rom.
So I was stuck un bootloop, but there is a way to get it out.
downloaded the update and sent it with adb sideload.
so in other words
things you need
1. easy adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
2. update file for S5, from my google drive http://*******/1TjDwb
Steps I took
1. go to recovery mode by booting with volume up + home + power
2. select apply update from adb
3. install easy adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
4. go into any command shell ( cmd or windows powershell) and send the file by adb
in my case it was "adb sideload 2400258.cfg"
5. wait for the phone to apply the update and restart.
I have a long browsing history (about 7 devices and various browsers), I don't really have time to look up the thread I got the update from.

Galaxy S6 is stuck on logo screen and FRP lock is on

Hi,
Some how I turned the FRP lock on and when I restarted my phone on the logo screen it said FRP lock is on and then nothing happened after that.
I googled around and people suggested to update the firmware using Smart Switch. Smart Switch completed its work 100%, but the my phone got stuck on logo screen and nothing happens. After more googling I found this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/sm-g920f-stuck-samsung-logo-5-1-1-update-t3150727
When I try flashing the phone using Odin with the instructions above, it says "Custom Binary(BOOT) Blocked By FRP Lock".
People please help me to resolve my issues:
1. FRP lock is on. How can I disable it?
2. Phone is stuck on logo screen.
Thank you!
Try the smart switch thing again and let it keep loading. can take up to 10 minutes the first time it loading.

Before I tried with Odin I had tried multiple times. Still the same issue.
Odin latest firmware and let it boot over 10 min.
Hey! I had the same problem recently but I was be able to recover my phone by, downloading kies 3 (not smart switch) So once that's down open it up and click the "tools tab' and you want to do a "firmware upgrade & installation" now enter your device info, you can get your SN and IMEI numbers by pressing and holding "volume down + home + power" then hit the home button. So use that information and put in kies. Then it will prompt you to boot to recovery but instead boot to download mode and start the process in kies so then just be patient, really patient and might take up to an hour. and good luck! Hope it helps!
I'm in the same situation. I've installed stock firmware with both odin/kies everything was successful, but on boot, it's just stuck on logo. FRP lock is on, but I know the user and pass.. it's a friends phone. How can I enter the account if the device doesn't even boot up... !? I've tried everything I could find on the internet.. nothing worked.. any new ideas? anyone..? thanks.
If a full restore was successful via kies then it should boot up as if it were brand new outta the box.

Note 5 Factory Reset Google Setup Wizard

Hello, I bought a note 5 from a guy for 50 bucks but it's stuck on the Google set up wizard because he factory reset the phone.
Unfortunately the usb debugging wasn't on and I don't think he had the dev mode on either. Is there anything i could do?
Can I root the phone via Odin and just flash a certain apk or something? Please help!!
Also, the phone as of tonight is stuck on a boot loop.
Side note, oem unlock wasn't turned on as well. Is there any way I can root this phone even if I can't get pass the new android device protection system?

Tried to flash and upgrade a 4.4.2 AT&T SM-G900A using Odin - won't boot now

Hi everyone,
I've had numerous problems with OTA updates with my AT&T SM-G900A since I got it. I'm not in the US anymore and my phone was unlocked, so I thought "hey, how hard could it be" and tried to flash it.
I used the following binaries that were posted here a couple of days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
I ran them through Odin3 3.09, and got a PASS - but the phone is stuck at the boot logo screen ("Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android" screen).
Download mode still works, but normal booting, recovery booting and safe mode do not.
Any suggestions on what I could do?
EDIT: I used the stock image located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714455 to reflash it using Odin again. It seems to have worked, though all sorts of apps were crashing. I've just done a factory reset and am in the process of restoring it, but it seems promising for now. Never trying to update AT&T crap again.
Hey man, are you still having troubles? I just rooted my Sm-G900A, and then decided to use Odin to flash it with the 5.1.1 files. So this is what happened to me:
1: Flashed AP with the 5.1.1 file, passed but stuck at the Samsung Logo- Powered by Android.
2: rebooted into download mode and flashed "BL" or Bootloader with the 5.1.1 file and I got passed that screen. Now I'm waiting for it to optimize my apps.
My guess is after we flash the AP file we then have to flash the bootloader as well. So if you haven't tried that I'd suggest it to see what happens.
