[Solved] Custom binary (recovery) blocked by frp lock after Note FE rom install

Hello everyone,
According to this post i did install note FE rom on my note 7 sm-n930F.
I did not have any problem flashing my first n930f.
Unfortunately, for my second install, i stupidly FORGOT to enable OEM unlock when flashing TWRP. :crying::crying:
I continued to install the ROM without problem but after the first reboot, the phone is blocked with the message "custom binary (recovery) blocked by frp lock"
I can boot in download mode (power + volume down + home) so i tried to flash a N930F stock rom but it fails with the message "check fail : device : 2 binary : 1"
(I think this is due to the fact that the stock rom is Android 6 and the device's rom is Android 7).
I tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC without success : the device is not recognized by SmartSwitch.
I do not know what to do, can someone help me unbrick this phone ?
Thank you for your help.

Same for me. I cant believe it! No solution here from XDA community!

not so simple...
unable to flash TWRP -> blocked by FRP lock
I finally found the right stock rom for my N-930F (N930FXXU2BPI7) with help from pvpaco (see here)

I had the same problem (forgot to toggle oem lock) just flash the stock firmware for your device and it will boot (using odin) if you had a Google account it may ask you to sign in again if not just set up the device toggle the oem switch and flash twrp

The problem no flashable available stock rom for Korean models S/L/K. All failed in Odin. I had also a frp on , I can't flash any custom file.

For the note 7 or FE?

hmmm, not sure I can be any help then, unless you can find the correct official rom for your phone then the only other option would be to take it to a Samsung service centre (although the phone should be recalled they might still be able to help you)

Honor 7X EMUI 8 Oreo Download Link

Hi guys,
I'm using Honor 7x BND-AL10C675 (Indian). I wanted to get back to stock as emui 8 stable rolled out. I was running emui 8 beta and I was stuck so I flashed the stock recovery, re locked bootloader, and downloaded the EMUI 8 update.app file from "Huawei firmware finder". Now, I created the "dload" folder in sd card and pressing both volume buttons and power button, I tried to install the firmware.
It says "The update failed" at 5% and I tried it many times. Maybe it's a mismatch or incompatible. Now, I can't go back to my twrp backup as stock recovery was installed. I can't flash recovery or rom using fastboot as it requires unlocked bootloader. To unlock bootloader, I need to enable "OEM UNLOCK" in settings and I can't boot into system as everything is wiped when I relocked the bootloader. So I'm basically stuck.
The only things I can do now is to install the stock firmware using the dload method. However, I need the right update.app file so I can install using install the firmware. I can't use Nougat file as I guess we can't go back to Nougat from Oreo. So I need EMUI 8 firmware BND AL10C675.
I can't find it anywhere, so Could someone miraculously post a download link or the file here? What should I be doing?

Thats' so fast!! I really thank you for coming at rescue for a fellow XDA member. Thanks for the link and I couldn't find the link myself really. Do you have any idea which file I should download? there is one full Ota MF and other two are just Ota MF. Maybe full Ota mf? I guess I downloaded the firmware from the app from these guys or website only on my android phone. I will do it now on my laptop now. Let's hope it works!! Thanks again

I downloaded it but the update failed again. I guess the file is not the right one for this model but I don't know why it's listed as the right model. I thought I could install stock Emui 8 Rom by downloading from "firmware finder" so I just locked myself out of all the options now. Such a shame

I'm not positive on the correct DLOAD method
I think you extract the update.zip to dload folder on sdcard.
The whole zip package, not just the update.app

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240

I followed all the steps and I guess it's more complicated for me. I was stuck with an older build number although I changed different ROMS. Maybe because of that the update doesn't authenticate and fails to install the firmware. I don't know but also it maybe that the firmware isn't for my exact model. I just don't know and my phone is as good as bricked and I"m taking it to service centre.
What's more hurting is that, I Locked myself out of all the options. I mean I have the bootloader unlock code, Twrp backup but I just went through a one way route so confidently that it would work and I locked bootloader, flashed stock recovery. It's such a shame that HUAWEI DOESN'T RELEASE THE STOCK FIRMWARE EVEN AFTER ALMOST 6 MONTHS OF THE HONOR 7X RELEASE. If they had the stock firmware available just like Xiaomi, I wouldn't have had all this trouble.
I don't know why no one raises the voice. I really hate Huawei for this and I'll make sure I won't recommend these phones to anyone.

just follow this, use the flash-all to go back to stock then relock when its all set
unlocking/relocking wipes your data so backup whats necessary

Is this true? I'm seeing other posts says that you need to use the MSM tool in this scenario. Unfortunately, I only have a Mac so I can't run MSM.

Did you get this to work?

I Have tried this several times on my Tmobile version op7t and every time I get to step 7,8,9 and flash-all (with Indian version 10 or Global version10), I end up with my Tmobile Stock 10.3 version of Android, and the wifi does not work. The only way to get the wifi back is to MSMDownload Tool the original stock version which locks the bootloader back up and I'm back with TMobile version 10.3. I downloaded the Fastboot version they suggested. Any ideas why it's not working and reverting back to my original version of Android 10.3?

I was having a similar issue. Either the 10.0.9 version was the problem or I was making the error of manually navigating to the fastboot menu when a recovery type language select screen came up (black background with white logo and text). This screen would appear after flash-all.bat had mostly run through and the "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" was the latest output in command prompt.
What worked for me was to use version 10.0.8 and to not touch the phone until I saw the usual blue setup screen.

Thanks so much. So perhaps I try 10.0.8. Can you confirm the exact 10.0.8 build you used? Global? Indian?

I used the Global build here. I followed this guide minus steps 1, 2, and rooting. I also downloaded and used the latest platform tools from google and I did not overwrite them at any step in the process.

OK thanks so much. Do you think it makes any difference what OS I start from before attempting to move to 10.0.8? Right now I'm on Tmobile 10.0.10.HD63CB, but I see an option for a minor OTA update to 10.0.11.HD63CB

SUCCESS!... Using 10.0.8 did the trick... and I was able to root with Magisk Canary as well. Now I can update to Global 10.0.12. THANKS SO MUCH.

UPDATE - I forgot that I have to re-root after updating OS to 10.0.12. I was able to do that using the latest boot img from this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...t-international-magisk-patched-t4053945/page5

If you're on oxygen os ,then just flash a downgradeable oxygen os rom by using the local upgrade feature ,then just use the all in one tool or try the fastboot comand of oem locking it should unroot your phone and relock the boot loader ,relocking doesn't work on latest version of oxygen os..

Redmi Note 8 Pro freezing in Android 10

Hi. I got a Redmi Note 8 Pro Global version and I updated it to Android 10 manually. Problem is I am getting random freezes everyday. I would like to go back to Android 9 because these freezing is very annoying and ruining my experience. I am not sure if this is related to MIUI or Android 10 itself. I've done factory reset and reset via recovery mode as well. Still the same. Are any instructions to go back to Android 9?
I've read in some forums that Android 10 has some issues even in pixel devices where if an app freezes, it brings down the whole OS. Mine freeze about 10 seconds, sometimes more. It's happening very randomly in different apps so it is very difficult to replicate.

use indian version android 10 which is on miui v11.0.2.0.
It works fluently without any problem but keep in mind that preloader and other safety file is for Android 9. If you use them before flashing anything in android 10. Then it might brick your device. Even magisk brick some person device in android 10. So be safe before doing modification in it. Until preloader and lk will be available for it.

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion but what if I want to go back to Android 9 Global version? Just want to back to previous version when I got it out of the box. I don't want to flash or use other region roms. Just want to go back to Android 9. Is there any available steps or instructions out there? Can't seem to find one.

You can easily go back to android 9 global version by flashing fastboot rom via fastboot. You can flash fastboot rom just via mi flash tool by flashing lk and preloader before flashing rom or you can easily flash every image one by one manually in fastboot mode, Just by using command like fastboot flash system system.img, fastboot flash cust cust.img and so on. It is very easy. Hope it work for you.

Thanks for this. I've been following instructions from this link https://c.mi.com/ph/miuidownload/detail?guide=2. I think you are also referring to this one. I already followed instructions but I am now stuck in the unlocking method which says I need to wait 168 hours.
You mentioned I can flash img files one by one, is still possible when without unlocking the the device first via miui unlock tool?

Nope you have to first unlock bootloader. But as I read sp flash tool can work without unlocking bootloader. So if you have fastboot than first flash preloader and lk and then you can use sp flash tool without authorised account. But I am not sure if it work then inform me also. And if it don't work you have to first unlock bootloader.

The experience posted by this user only reinforces my general impression not to do a major upgrade (even an "official" one pushed by the manufacturer) on any phone that one uses for primary use, unless you want to get involved in the whole rooting process and all the time and risk that entails.
In my experience, the original version of android that ships with a device, and subsequent minor fixes, are the most adapted to the phones specs. Despite claims otherwise, every major upgrade involves more resource use, since it was designed with the latest hardware in mind. It will therefore almost certainly degrade the performance of a phone, even one not that old. I have had this happen in every phone I have owned. And unless your phone is rooted, you can not downgrade the OS.
So when MIUI 12 comes out, with Android 10, I will definitely wait for others to do it first and wait for the feedback, maybe I'll just pass on it. Right now my RN8P works great, and the additional "features" of android 10 add no functionality whatsoever. Why screw around with something that already works great?

Can't verify update

I'm trying to update my Redmi Note 8 Pro global from 12.0.8 to 12.5.1 manually since it doesn't find new updates no matter what i do.
I downloaded the ROM and selected it in "Choose update package", it tries to verify the update for a few seconds then just show me the message "Can't verify update. Couldn't verify update package." or "Can't verify update. Can't flash this stable ROM."
I tried to install it via USB flashing it with mi flash tool, still got the same message.
Does anyone know a fix for this, or at least why this is happening? Any help are appreciated.

Unlock bootloader, download the appropriate ROM for your version of smartphone (fastboot version), delete the check from the flash bat and you can flash. First try flashing, see if it boots. If everything is OK, you can try flash and lock.

is there any way to do this without unlocking bootloader?

If you are scared of losing the warranty, you wont once you relock the bootloader. Any other way, you ve tried it and it didn't work

It's not about the warranty, it's about my bank apps that might not work with the bootloader unlocked.
I'm going to do some research on how to unlock and lock the bootloader, as I didn't know it was possible to lock it again. Thank you for your help!

I fear that you might have misunderstood me. You cannot relock the bootloader while running a modified stock rom/custom rom. You can only relock the bootloader on a stock rom.

Are you running the latest stock version of your rom? Then, if you plan on using a smartphone with a locked bootloader, you already are. With a locked bootloader you won't get unofficial updates.

The rom from Xiaomi.eu is a custom rom. Xiaomi.eu is a group of enthusiasts who modify the stock Xiaomi rom, adding and removing features. Make no mistake, that's a custom rom. Close the bootloader with that one installed and you hard brick your device. The method I told you is the official one, which makes downgrading and upgrading your phones super easy. Now, if you want to flash a different version of the stock rom to your phone and lock the bootloader afterwards, be careful. There were reports that nothing happened and everything worked, but unfortunately not that many. A different stock rom might have a different cell tower reception, not adjusted to your country. So you might get less reception.

Hey today my phone unlocks so i will be doing the update. I just wanted to ask that on website:- https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/apollo/ there is miui updates (i downloaded a fastboot 5.2g latest one 12.5.10.0) and firmware of 150mbs. So i have to install both firmware and miui rom? Or just stock miui rom? I read somewhere that firmware is for user which come from very old stock rom to latest one. So how to install firmware?
