"only official binarys are allowed to be flashed" because the bootloader locked. you must unlock the bootloader first.

mate my bootloader was unlocked.
i have 4 rooted phones i know how to unlock a bootloader.........................
it wasnt the BL it was the method provided that didnt work.

the phone is now gone due to almost being thrown at a brick wall.....
anyways in future someone should do a guide for the australian varient as none of these methods worked for it.... and believe me i tried all these methods even with overseas firmware etc. :good:

[Q] Upgrading Samsung SCH-I435 to Android Lollipop

I haven't found any information for my specific model for some reason.
What I want to do is install stock Android 5 (by stock, I mean what comes on the Google Nexus) on my Verizon Samsung s4 mini (SCH-I435).
To my knowledge, this would involve:
Rooting the phone
Finding a compatible ROM
Flashing the ROM
I just can't find any guides or ROMs for my specific model. Can anyone here help?
I have the exact same model of the s4-mini as you do, and I've looked around just about everywhere. It seems that the bootloader has never been unlocked for this variant of the S4-mini. Verizon also just released a new firmware update that patches the kernel, preventing the use of previous root methods, and it may be some time till someone finds a way around it. If you find anything, please tell me, as I can't stand this bloatware crap on my phone.
How do you usually unlock the bootloader?

Usually people create software, such as Cyanogenmod, that exploit vulnerabilities in the software on the phone, giving them access to the bootloader. One of the many issues with this variant is that it is distributed by Verizon, and Verizon is very vigilant about patching vulnerabilities.
EDIT: After a little more digging, I found that the bootloader is completely locked and there is a 99.9999999% chance that it will never be unlocked, typical Verizon for you.

Correction
You can root the SCH-I435 with towel root, install SuperSU and Busy Box from Play store. Then flash phils touch recovery and then flash a rom from SD card in recovery. Beware, if you are on Bluegrass cellular. Any rom must be for CDMA phone for the SCH-I435.
Where would I find a compatible ROM?
looking for too!
I have been looking too. Tried a couple, but lose phone service. Everything else works.
I discovered this. Is it legitimate?

Definitely not legit. They simply have tons of links on their site to upgrading every single phone to lollipop. Inside of each page is exactly the same link to the same "ROM" for every phone, and the comments at the bottom of the page aren't actually real, they are just a picture. Try changing the number at the end of the link "...updateupgrade_70.html" and you will see what I mean.
I was able to successfully root my phone by flashing 4.4.2 NE1 (opposed to the latest version) via Odin and using Towelroot.
Has there been any progress on the addition of a custom recovery?

I found something interesting that might be worth looking into. This guy (http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini/527518-serious-question-needing-advice.html) claims to have installed a custom rom that was designed for the GT-I9195 on his SCH- i435. I have actually run into him before on other on some other threads and he seems to be legit. But the problem still remains that when he installed the rom his sound and mic didn't work. Still worth looking into though.

Just curious, would over of the international variant ROMs work if we managed to unlock the bootloader or would the SCH-I435 require its own specific one?
I found an app called Flashify that claims to be able to flash a boot loader or recovery to your device from your device.
Do you think flashing CWM or TWRP would work this way?

It seems that the only thing that this has to offer for us is a way to flash your phone without using a computer, and to back up your phone (I haven't actually tried restoring from a backup). But we still need a version of CWM or TWRP that is made for the sch-i435.

OEM Unlock for Samsung S9 not shown

I have a brand new sealed Samsung S9 SM-G960F/DS which is most probably Exynos variant however I couldn't find OEM Unlock after activating the developer tools. I've googled that and was surprised that this is a recent Samsung policy and as mentioned by most users they've waited more than 7 days to see OEM Unlock so they can root the device. Any one was able to find an alternative or workaround solution instead of waiting 7 days since I don't have that much time to wait I need to root urgently before a birthday.
Your help much appreciated.
Nope, wait the 7 days
My G960F had OEM unlock available on day 1, check in download mode it is the model you think

A member tested the combination ROM theory yesterday for the same purpose and it bootlooped their phone
The combination ROM will allow you to "OEM unlock" your device, but the RMM prenormal state will prevent you from flashing anything custom. I tried this when I first got my S9.
You need to wait the 7 days on stock in order to be able to actually bootloader unlock your device. Make sure to keep a SIM card in, connect a Samsung and Google account, and don't power it off. There is no workaround for this.

Wonder if it was because the combination ROM firmware is older than the current on the device
Did it factory reset after the flash? If not that might be causing the bootloop, or if the bootloader version is older on combination

The way to check the bootloader is here
G960FXXU1BRE5
Version 1
If you boot into Download mode it should say at the bottom BL:1 or whatever version you are currently running, downgrading the BL is usually not possible from what I see lately

Bootloader version 1 for both yours and the comb'n firmware so doesn't seem to be that
Did you factory reset after flashing combination? That's the only thing I can think of that would cause the loop if you didn't

Not really impressed with the lengths Samsung are going to to prevent us (the phone OWNERS) from doing what we want with OUR own phones tbh
There was a workaround to update system apps with Nougat, literally no harm done to Samsung with us doing that but they still patched it in Oreo
Starting to feel more like an iPhone than an Android, wasn't the whole point of Android that it was basically open and unlocked for us to play with?
Thing is though, Samsung make one of the best android devices available and they know locking it down isn't going to hurt their sales

[SM-T837V][Combo Firmware and Stock Firmware Files]

Hello Folks!
As soon as I got the tablet I spent a good few hours looking around for the combo firmware to start looking for exploits so figured I would provide you guys with a link to the firmware for free
It was quite funny actually, after I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop I realized I couldn't find any stock firmware anywhere either haha, so I spent a few hours looking for that as well.
I have the Verizon variant, I am not sure if it will work on other USA variants or not as I have no way of trying. With that being said, below will be the links. I will provide a rev1 combination firmware and a rev1 stock firmware as well as a link to a modified ODIN for easy flashing!
And with all that being said, the combo firm is good to bypass FRP. You can enable the oem unlock switch but other than removing FRP it is useless as of right now. You can however, mix and match the firmware unlike my S9+. I am currently on stock firmware with a permissive boot.img for example.
If you got questions or need help, well, you probably shouldn't be downloading anything or flashing haha. But I will try to help when I have time. I do not have any current plans to keep this thread going with updated filese as I had to pay for these. If I can find em free moving forward I will re-upload if I can but I typically stay on the lowest rev/firmware I can until I find a root method

I think it's just the tablet, my Verizon one isn't playing nice with my Verizon service. Constantly not switch towers and losing service when full service is available. Or it's a tower problem but my note8 doesn't do it when my tablet does

OEM Unlock
I have the T837V and would like to ODIN flash your files, but as you know there is no OEM unlock in the Developer Options on this tablet. Are you saying that you can flash these files without enabling the OEM unlocking?
I would like to install TWRP, but I believe this is not possible without enabling the OEM unlock. Do you know if this is true?

I am currently working on a root method with the N9 but it should also work on Tab S4 once all is said and done. I actually found the exploit I use on the Tab S4 originally before I started workin the N9. Nothing is released yet as so far have only gained root on S9 Exynos and I am currently super bricked and waiting for a device replacement lol
Flashing other carrier firmware won't help you unlock any bootloaders or anything nor will it necessarily help you root. Only benefit I can see really in flashing other carrier firmware is say if you have an sim unlocked tablet (we'll say it's a Verizon tablet) and you want to use it on say Sprint. You can flash the Sprint software in ODIN and everything should work. It would be like you purchased the tablet from Sprint essentially.

Hi. I have the metro pcs variant 10e. Our oem unlocking in developer options has been hidden/disabled/missing. Is the a10f the same as far as my metro variant? Also when trying to get into bootloader mode the phone vibrated and a little yellow exclamation ! symbol appeared at bottom of my screen right above the charging port. What was that exactly? This is my 1st A series device

even if its the same you cant unlock the bl or root as its a usa variant and its not allowed.
the yellow symbol you see is normal.. its an indicator for the charging i believe to indicate slow charging for example

That's because you spelled it wrong bro lol.. it also doesn't do anything unfortunately and reverts after you reboot the device.
You cannot downgrade.. most time even on unlocked bl's downgrading is not allowed.
If you mean you found a lower firmware on same rev that's a different story. You get sha error because you need a modified odin that has the sha checks disabled.. or you can use something like chimera tool

Lol I see my spelling error now. I think I was really burned out trying to learn and figure out stuff. Is there any decent links on how to patch SHA256? I tried many web searches and little results

huh? thats not useful at all lol.. theres already pstched odins all over the internet.. it doesnt patch the firmware, it patches odin software so it ignores the sha256 altogether

Yes there are many patched Odin's but not a patched 3.14 version. My device will not work with any odin lower than 3.14

Unfortunately I cant afford any tool like that. I've tried crack versions that dont require box or card but none of them are current cracks.

it does/doesnrt.. u cant just flash combo firm to the device, it also has nothing to do with odin or chimera.. samsung implemented security so combo firm cannot b flashed unless you have a token for it.. without it u can only flash stock firmware.. if u got acombo token tho then yes, chimera at that point could flash combo no problem

Thank you for your effort to help me but the exact problem im in is thus. j337r4 is frp locked to my old gmail that was hacked so i abandoned it and made a new one. I have yet to find a method of frp bypass that works on this one so i resorted to combination rom, however none of the combination roms for this exact model j3 that i can find have worked. they dont even flash, odin fails them after 10 sec and phone has new red message under normal download mode message that says "sw rev check fail" in red and that current binary is u4 but the only combination roms i can download free are u1 and u2 binary.

My frp says off when I go into download mode what does yours say? Try OEM unlocking the phone in Developers Option settings. Then let me know if you still have the issue.

They are you able to help me out and send these links so I can put a custom rom on my smj337r4. I wanted to put lineageos on but it doesn't have one for mine.
