I have a Tmobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, I have tried every rooting method I can fine and so far all I have done is made a brick, I need this phone working asap, and rooted so I can go onto Crickets service

This the method I used for rooting when I had 4.3

Check my signature for a link to how I rooted with 4.4.2
Depending on the version of Android you have on that phone, it will trip the Knox flag. Which won't affect the performance of the phone, but will indicate you messed with your phone. There may be other rooting methods that work, but this one worked for me.
BTW, I found that method by using Search on this forum and Google.

The safe root method is how i rooted with 4.3 but it is my understanding that you need your phone to be unlocked to use a different carrier. Unlocked and rooted are 2 different things.

Unlocked sop I can use whatever carrier I want.
Rooted Because I want control over my pohone and not somebody else saying what I can and cant do with it.
I can get it to bot in cwm recovery but thats all it won't rot the rom so I can see it its rooted or not. I followed eth entire instructions provided and used oden like it said to and all I suceded in doing was makeing a damn brick out of a phone I got to have running tomorrow morning

If you can get into Download mode (Power Off, then Volume Down+Power Button), then you'll need to download the Stock Rom and transfer it to your phone via ODIN. Do you know if you were 4.2, 4.3, or 4.42 before you bricked it? You can download the images from Sammobile.com

If you have access to ClockWork Mod Recovery, wipte the cache and dalvik and see if that lets it boot.
If not, just download a rom, any rom from the dev section that you want to try and put it on a micro SD card. Put the SD card in your phone.
Do a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) in recovery and flash the downlaoded ROM file. Your phone should boot right up.
You'll want a TouchWiz based rom if you still need to perform the SIM unlock proceedure so you can use it on the Cricket network. But once step at a time here...

Thats cause it wasn;t rooted before, hopefully it is now, cause my wife just went to Cricket to see if she can get her Iphone and mine on their network
I finally got the phone rooted but I screwed it up so bad I had to install a different rom to make it work, so not I'm roted and running wicked rom .Next I installed, updated and ran region away, it said it didn;t know if it worked or not, but I was told that it does unlock so hopefully it did.
I havea different S4 here ( SGHM919) that I'm gonna try the cf auto root on when the battery is fully charged, cause both my sons have S4's and they want to keep the rom they have now just be unlocked

If you were looking at cwm recovery then you most likely have root.

Thank you gentlemen, my phone is working again, rooted, currently running wicked rom, all the other phones are rooted with the stock roms for the kiddies unless they want to have a better rom
Region away works perfectly on mine even though it says it doesn't know if it did.
I was going to use triangle away, but it says something about bricking my phone and I really don't give a damn about the counter so ........
PanchoPlanet, Google is NOT my friend when it comes to phones XDA id my friend when it comes to phones
Now to go look for the stock memo pad that comes with the S4, I like that one best its simple and works

I too prefer Memo Pad, it's quick and simple, my reference to Google was that its quicker than the XDA search and more accurate. Good to hear your back on track.

I found Smemo on line, took a while since I'm on oxycodone for pain due to a hernia operateing, but I got it, placed it in eth rom and reflashed it
Now I'd love to find a theme for Wicked V10 that would change teh color of the phone dialpad, I HATE white dialers, makes me remember when I was a kid back in teh 60' when my mom had nothing but white so she could see if it was clean, and sanitized, degermed, and all that, ( yes I was an outside type, and brought it all inside )

Oh and all I can say guys, is thanks for trying to help me I WILL figure it out for the firmware and hardware and software that I have, experimenting with a phone that I totally bricked today, gotta re-instal the entire os on it, so I'm gonna experiment with various versions of the SGH-M919 software, if I find out what works on what I'll post it for you guys to check and make sure I did right

WARNING: Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock.....

My situation is different from everyone's so i figured i'd share this with you all. I accidently turned off OEM Unlocker/USB Debugging in developer options and when i start my phone i'm completely locked out I CAN get into download mode but CANT flash anything at because the bootloader is locked. So im just writing this to let all you (Sprint Galaxy S6 G920P owners) not to do this unless u want a really expensive high end paperweight.... i can't flash anything because the bootloader is locked...... :crying::crying::crying:

No in fact like i said my situation is different in a sense i'm locked out of the binary via the OEM switch being off im assuming....And the FRP will not let me modify ANYTHING lol crazy right...
btw can u please PM the proper locations of all the stock 5.11 firmware aka The BL, AP,CP & CSC stock files if they exist lol and all the full stock firmware. BTW anyone interested in this situation i attached pix of my screen after flashing Stock OE7

I just had the same problem. I ended up re-flashing the stock OF7 tarball in Odin.

OF7 tallball
What is "OF7 tallball".
Where can i find that.
My phone is: G920T.

what is that, i want to know too

I am having the same Issue with the G920T, did anyone find a solution for it?

Having tbe same exact problem as the OP. Everthing I flash through ODIN fails. Even flashing stock 5.1.1 OF7 fails. I believe it's because I was on OGA so I have to wait until the tarball for that comes out I guess.

I had this problem yesterday. The way I fixed it was to flash the F8 bootloader, and then I could get the unroot rom to load.
Maybe a fluke, but that is what I did to fix mine.
Now I am unable to unlock it. I tried ChainFire CF-Auto-root and TWRP - both give the custom recovery is blocked. Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks.

when you got the custom binary block did you just plug it in and odin and flash it or did you managed to get it in download mode ?
was it just plugging it the same way it was showing the block .. thanks

I had same issue as first post. so I odin to the stock 5.1.1 firmware. Now when I reboot and it asks to verify my gmail account I set up when I got device. I did that but it takes my info then pops back up with the verify screen I know I'm entering the correct info because I try a wrong pw and it says check pw. Has anyone else had it basically got back to verify gmail account ? also if you look in google at linked devices it shows tha last activity of you signing in? I hope I don't have a $600 paperweight!

I have the same exact problem with my Sprint S6.
I have tried all possible stock Firmwares :
G920PVPU1AOCF
G920PVPU1AOE2
G920PVPU2BOF7
G920PVPU2BOH1
None of them workes. any idea, please keep update.

I got this same exact problem yesterday on my SM-G920P as well. Been up all night trying to figure it out, has anyone found a solution to this?

Just got mine working again Apparently the original firmware I had on my phone was "G920PVPU3BOI1" so I just downloaded and flashed that in Odin and it flashed without the "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock" error I kept on usually getting. So for anybody with this problem, if you are unsure which firmware you originally had on your phone before the brick, just try to flash all the possible ones via Odin until one works

Successful Root - Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Just one drawback...

Hello all,
I was testing and fooling around with my Note 4 SM-910A when I tried rooting my phone again. (Manually) and I did something different giving me root and the bootloader now shows the Custom (unlocked) symbol. Meaning, that I got root and my bootloader was unlocked. Here is some proof:
imgur (DOT) com/2qjJmWs
But there is one catch to it.
You get bricked. AT&T sees that you are rooted and you cannot use your phone unless you restore it to stock or you take it to AT&T store and they will do it for you.
Also you get a : SECURE = FAIL on your scree.
When I got this root, I made an account quickly and then I posted. This is the biggest day for me. I'm gonna try and see if I can bypass the SECURE = FAIL and make it into SECURE = I DON'T EVEN CARE!

If you look into the root progress forum, a couple of us has had the same thing happen. I am hoping that some devs are looking into this. I know how to do this every time now and have to unbrick my phone every time.

In recovery mode I told phone to wipe data factory reset. Still pops up after reboot stating kernal is not seaddroid enforcing then says secure fail kernel and had large yellow triangle saying system software not authorized by at&t has been found etc. Turn off and take to at&t store.

Wow. Don't be lazy. Not cool dude. I did read the whole post and I am trying what was listed. Anyway I wanted to add that my phone has never been rooted. I have tried Kingroot many times with no success. I am running Lollipop 5.1.1 which is locked by AT&T so I am curious if bootloader is locked how this happened or how I will be able to fix this. I will continue to read as I have been doing prior to being called lazy. I have yet to see anyone else state they were running the same OS I am.

The files mentioned in my previous post are the 5.1.1 OS files. I have used them multiple times to recover from a soft-brick. So, YES, I have the same OS Lollipop as you should have. AT&T has locked the bootloader on the Note 4 from the beginning. But in 4.4.4 you could temp-root in order to get rid of some files. But results are so different from phone to phone that a temp-root scenario is complicated to explain. Some work some dont. KINGROOT is also in the same boat, might or not work. You might be able to keep your phone from rebooting or it might freeze and you HAVE to pull the battery. When the battery gets pulled and reboots SOMETIMES you can reboot to a temp-rooted phone, MOST OF THE TIME it soft bricks. All of this information is in either of the posts I linked earlier, so either you're lazy, or you don't understand what you're reading. If you don't understand, then please READ, SEARCH, and RESEARCH.

1) Not a troll. Just someone not knowing what they're doing.
2) ATT reps don't even know the difference between a locked sim and locked bootloader, so they wouldn't know the difference between a hard and soft brick.
3) All you had to do was use Odin to fix the phone. You just traded your phone for a factory refurbished one. Good job!
4) Read the latest forum posts before doing things.

Hey guys. Thought I'd chime in with a little insight here. Had someone call me the other day that tried to root one, and ended up with the same unauthorized software error. Couldn't get to download mode, couldn't get to recovery, couldn't get phone to boot. He took it to AT&T, where they of course told him the phone was "hard bricked". I just used a usb jig and restored it with odin. Did just fine.
This is the jig I used. It was $4.92 on eBay

You wasted $4.92 on ebay, All you got to do is download USB Driver for your phone and install it on your computer. Once this is done, your computer we recognize your soft bricked phone and you can use Odin to reload the firmware.

Phone locked after flashing Stock Sprint G920PVPU3BOL1 (Android 5.1.1)

Hello dear all,
I bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy s6 phone in my country. As I am a bit curious, I noticed later on that the phone have been unlocked before I purchased it with the local seller, as it worked fined with my local SIM Card operator.
I also noted the phone was CDMA, as there was not anywhere I could setup an APN. I used a third party all, APN Configurator (downloaded from the Play Store) to define a custom APN and then I could go the the internet using mobile data. I used the phone for two days without any noticeable issue. Then, one night, I rebooted the phone and it got stuck into a bootloop, with a message displayed in red in the upper left corner of the screen : "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
I made some research and I understood FRP lock was a sort of protection related to OEM (which could be deactivated in Developer Options). I did not knew anythting about that. Anyway, as it was useless to me at this point since I could not even start the phone.
However, Download mode and Stock recovery were still available. I downloaded and flashed a stock rom for Sprint (G920PVPU3BOL1) and I flashed it via Odin. It went fine. Now when I boot the phone, It gives me the following message :
"Attention - Power off your device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device."
I get get past this screen. I only have Wifi-available, but still, I can't go anywhere with that.
I am loocking for a proper way/tutorial to bypass this screen and then unlock the phone from here.
Much thanks in advance.

Thanks @jinderation. I already came accross that tutorial. Unfortunately I can't apply it since it requires to install some APKs. I cannot even do that since I am stucked at the activation screen and I can't get past the message I mentionned before:
"Attention - Power off your device, insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device."
So, no way to access to the menu, where I can connect the device to a PC and then send an APK and then install it from the device.
So I am looking for a proper way to bypass the activation screen first. Then I can proceed with the tutorial you mentionned.

Take it to sprint.. Have u checked for its imei no. Whether its blacklisted or not...the seller whom u bought from did he make his payments to sprint cuz if he didnt then you are screwed..share the imei number here so i can check
U can also try flashing this firmware its 5.11 BOL1 as well i dont know where u had downloaded the firmware from mine is also unlocked but doesnt show the type of screen that you are mentioning

A massive thanks to you! I actually downloaded an unlocked version of 5.1.1 BOL1 updated from somewhere else, not yours, I flashed it via Odin, and it workied fine. I even rooted it by flashing UniKernel for Sm-920P and its all perfect now.
Except that the Sprint logo shown at startup is a bit annoying, and also the battery life which is quite short....
@jinderation, thanks again for your helpful support!

My phone is unlocked and works fine on 5.1.1 but when i upgrade to 6.0.1 it becomes locked.
It will be stuck on 5.1.1 forever or is there a solution to keep it unlocked and upgrade safely?
Thanks

Well I am not that knowledgeable on the matter.... But I do not know of any way of doing that. Maybe you could try looking for a Marshmallow stock Rom already unlocked ?

no unlocked rom exists for g920p i believe

Bought an S6 recently and it was on 5.1.1. It was already rooted and not showing firmware update option. So we thought we will flash the stock ROM and flashed the SM-G920P 6.0.1 ROM. After this, the phone displays the following message and SIM card is not showing any signal "Power off your device and insert the service provider UICC that came with the device, then power on the device". Any suggestions to fix this issue?

Sm-t807a bricked... Kies doesn't support

OK so the att tab s was rooted I, impulsivity, decided to try and flash Xposed through FlashFire. I mistakenly flashed the wrong zip though. I am now left with a tab that only goes to firmware trouble screen. My computer recognizes it, as does Odin. Like I said Kies is saying it doesn't support it so right now I'm stuck. I refuse to give up, so any and all help would be appreciated

can you go to recovery? then only way i can think off is format data thru recovery.

Cannot get into recovery

Explain what the zip was that you flashed?

I flashed the wrong exposed installer..I can't remember exactly which as this was done awhile ago. You answered my original post when it happens I think you said it wiped the partitions?

Was this device running KITKAT or LOLLIPOP?

Well you didn't reply to that thread.

Wow you're right. I'm sorry I didn't even realize I didn't respond. So sorry for that. I tried those files and they didn't take, I cannot get into recovery and now I'm stuck at this stupid screen

I'm hooked up to Kies on my Mac and it's trying to connect but hasn't, so I tried manually entering is the name and sn . When I do I get up Kies pop-up to check the name I am entering "SM-T807A"

Did they actually flash with odin or just fail?
That screen usually presents itself when something fails to flash.

They failed, I don't remember what was flash to cause that screen. I have no problem getting Odin to connect..I just lack the right files apparently. The only option I see if I have a friend with the same tab so I could try to connect his tab to my laptop and have Kies download the firmware. But like I said Kies on my windows laptop is saying it doesn't support the device

You can't get the Firmware via kies. It's only available via ota or from an authorised Samsung reseller.

OK so I guess I'm SOL ... Thanks for the help anyway

Well I had requested many times for someone to catch the OTA when it came, but not one person could be bothered to make the effort. So now you and others are in this unfortunate situation. [emoji19]
If someone with root can pull the system.img from a T807a running lollipop there may be a chance it would flash.

Yeah I saw you asked that a few times while I was searching through threads. I have even thought about replacing the mother board lol. I got the us cellular variant really cheap on eBay so I don't need this tab but this is my first brick out of all the devices I have owned. So it's a pride thing lol...
So would any exynos variant stock recovery work? I'm pretty sure I was on 5.0.2

It's unlikely any other recovery would work, even though it would be compatible, it will likely just get rejected by the bootloader.
However you've nothing to lose by trying.

Like is had said in your original thread... If you can find a samsung support store or even bestbuy (although the ones around here have no idea what they are doing), they can flash the original firmware for you... The same thing happened to me with xposed, except I installed the right one, it just bricked the tablet, which i suspect is because we can't get any other recovery nor unlock our tablets, all we can do is root them...

I guess I'm lost.. you said odin recognizes it, so why didn't you just flash the stock firmware over?
Nvm just realized there were 2 pages. Did you try getting the firmware from sammobile.com?
