Are you updated with OTA or flashing russion firmware ?. before i flash the firmware i didnt turn on the OEM unlock in dev options. Is that the problem ? Are we need to turn on that before flash the firmware with Odin ?

bootloader unlock code different from frp unlock code.
installing other device firmware has chance to replace oeminfo.img partition. Changing this partitin often causes locked frp.
If lucky you can wipe from the erecovery that is loading. maybe even couple times. Then maybe it will boot. Other that that there has been no public mention of any fix.
do your best to fix it using hisuite or other methods if you can. if you have twrp that can help if you have stock recovery and locked frp your only hope might be hisuite and if that fails you will need a paid option like dc-phoenix or funkyhuewei. i only have experience with dc-phoenix, and it did fix my locked frp completely bricked phone, but i read that funky also works well but is nearly 3 times as expensive. (15€ vs 50€)

The displayed build number comes from the data part of the update. (Update_*hw_*.zip)
If you reflash again all three files , might be fixed

If flashing again is the answer to solve problem. Use my guide here.
You are on Oreo now so use the top portion. "Flash update"

I don't want to sound like rude or anything.
But I put it all pretty simple, I thought. Like 4 steps
Download files
Put files on SD card
Install twrp
Install file I shared
If that is over your head, maybe you should not have modify and phone.

So can be confussing

Is it possible to change my XSG build to VOD without messing with my OEM unlock?

Hello all. My 935f came with firmware XSG for United Arabic Emirates but I am in the UK and would like to flash VOD instead. I tried as soon as I got the phone with odin but got some error (don't remember exactly but f.w. 2 expected 1?). Anyways, 7 days have since passed and I have access to OEM unlock. 2 questions:
1) does the firmware (XSG vs VOD) changes anything at all?
2) if so, how could I flash this without losing OEM unlock.
Thanks a lot!
Flashing firmwares doesn't effect OEM unlock and I'll install Vodafone bloat, go for btu if you're in the uk

Thanks for this. Do you just flash using Odin? It won't let me gives some kind of SW Rev error . Can it be because of the baseband? I am on BRG8 with build number BRH1 trying to flash BRF8...

Odin stuck on recovery.img after countless searching no luck help is needed!

my friend rooted his device but stupidly turned off OEM and now his device won't turn on
I tried looking for an international firmware and flashed it on Odin but it got stuck at recovery.img, been like that for an hour,
Is it because OEM is locked? (so is FRP by the way)
Do I have to enable a setting from Odin?
he has an S9+ G965F dual SIM, he bought it from Spain but says its an international model, he doesn't seem to find the country code anywhere on the box
I need help and everything is appreciated, the sooner the better, thanks!
Check in download mode which version Bootloader the phone is running (B:1 or B:2) and match it with the firmware you are flashing, you cannot downgrade the Bootloader
G960FXXU2BRGA <<< Version 2 BL
Fixed!

He managed to fix it himself, I was using Odin with TeamViewer from my computer to his laptop, and I think that messed with something as he repeated the exact same steps after I disconnected and worked flawlessly
Thanks everyone that helped and the community offering help!

Stoping this damn RMM State Prenormal

Hi there.
I've been stuck with RMM State Prenormal on my Galaxy A8 2018 for 3 months, waiting for this to be gone. Nothing to do, after 3 months of uptime, it still there.
Many tricks with time and date hasn't worked anymore, but finally I just success to bypass this s***.
What I've done :
_Install stock rom from original carrier (BOG for me, I were on XEF for deleting bloatwares).
_At boot, do NOT put your Google account and Samsung account, only Wi-Fi and that's all.
_When install wizard is finished, do NOT activate Developpers Options. Go directly at time and date, set it 8 days before after desactivate "Auto time and date".
_Go to System Update. Then untick "auto update" and check for update.
_Reboot.
_Go back to actual time and date, check again for update.
_Only NOW, activate Developpers Options and OEM Unlock should be there.
It worked for me after MANY MANY tricks, attempts, and hopeless. This way given me another luck to root my phone and now I'm done and free with it.
Sorry if my english is sometimes bad. Hoping I've helped some users.
Regards !
Edit : I did it on bootloader V3 (U3BRJ4).
I hope it actually works with other a530f
because I have a530w and a530w doesn't have rmm prenormal in bootloader, I can't really test this
Yup, canadian and some versions of samsung smartphone (Verizon or something else if I don't mistake ?) doesn't have any method to unlock their bootloaders because they are locked by default and forever. But I've posted it for those who have international variant (SM-A530F for me).

no, I mean that Canadian variant of a8 is exactly the opposite of what you said, rmm is always unlocked, so oem unlock is always there
and a8 is the only exynos Samsung device in canada so we're lucky we didn't get any snapdragon version or that would be locked forever
Oh, mea culpa. I thought it was like Galaxy S4 who were totally locked (received one from Canada to France, last year, I were disapointed that is not GT I9500 but SGH I337M).
But the result stay the same, this is for unlocked bootloader that can be "locked" by RMM State ^^
Hello, I want to test tous method and I have an dummy question, To install stock rom, I have To flash with Odin an original firmware from sammobile and if it's yes what file I have To flash

once you downloaded it, extract zip file, then there should be 5 files, dont worry about the HOME_CSC, that leaves us with 4 files, put them in the correct position on odin, AP to AP slot, etc
Hi, I've tried many times with différent BL but nothing To do' OEM doesn't appears and always state Prenormal :/
I'm on bootloader V3

I also faced bootloop after flashing indian rom.
after flash, my bootloader locked on its own! and when i again tried to unlock it, i was given 30 days waiting period.
So, i had to edl flash my device from local servicing center.

hi
thanks
it worked for me ( i copy and replace all global file to Chinese rom folder )
i flash 11.0.5 India global on Chinese redmi 6 pro

then my phone convert to global
i test ota update it to 11.0.7 ( on unlock phone) it worked too ( beacuse i heard if I lock converted phone and Update, it will breaked !! )
