Some Questions about G920T flashing / custom roms

Just bought S6 G920T so i'm still new to all the bootloader security issues, i flashed TWRP yesterday and got stuck on bootloop after that. Bootloop was fixed after flashing Twisted v4 rom. I set up everything including fingerprint and when i restarted the phone it gave the error "Custom Binary blocked by FRP".
Currently i am trying to revive the phone, about to flash 6.0.1 PK5 firmware.
Now i have a few questions, please answer whichever you can:
- In case flashing 6.0.1 fails the next solution is to flash 7.0 firmware, is it possible to flash Twisted v4 (6.0.1) after that? Or i have to go with Nougat roms only?
- What should i know to avoid ever having another FRP lock again with a custom rom? Dont set up fingerprint? Or enable OEM unlock option is enough?
- Any way to permanently disable this Custom Binary lock security feature?
I want to use Twisted v4 with root and fingerprint if possible (dont need Samsung Pay). Sorry if this is a repost, i tried gathering whatever info i could on this issue but still confused on these questions. Thanks in advance! :highfive:
EDIT: Looks like this forum is dead, so i'll just answer my own questions from what i learned today with first hand experience for the next confused soul.
- Flashing 6.0.1 PK5 firmware fixed the FRP lock issue (if you were on newer firmware you will need to flash that one or higher)
- Enable Developer Options by clicking Build Number a few times, in Developer Options allow OEM unlock to avoid "Custom Binary FRP lock"
Now i am using Twisted v4 with root and fingerprint enabled, TWRP is installed and no issues till now.

If root/TWRP is what you're after, is the Tmobile version the friendliest S6 to get?

Yes. The TMobile Galaxy S6 is the last Galaxy model with an unlocked bootloader.

Its ok bro, experience is the best teacher

don’t mean to hijack, but
Saw this now after I posted and you’re saying it’s dead (which sucks, but oh well)
Which version were you on before flashing entirely?
Any chance you could lemme know what to google to grab the 6.01 fw? I’ll try that out I guess.
I’m having frp lock and can’t even flash anything it seems, but I’ll try anything.

You can download the PK5 Firmware here > https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920T/TMB/confirm/G920TUVU5EPK5/113173/
OR...you can try to use Samsung Kies or Samsung Smartswitch to restore your phone back to stock. You'll need the model and serial number which you can get by booting to Download mode and then pressing the home button. Once you get back up and running on stock firmware you can enable developer options then USB debugging and OEM unlock.
Once you have those taken care of you can root, install TWRP, Xposed, and flash Twisted Nougat.

hate to be annoying, but is there a better place to find this rather than a place that will take 12 hours to dl?

Like I said u can try using Kies or Smartswitch. I have used Kies successfully on a handful of S6s without issue. Otherwise I could probably download it tomorrow at work and send you a link.

No worries. I’ll do it overnight. Thanks
Also Odin 3.10.6 started being able to flash where 3.12.? Failed.
I got the baseband you have in your sig I just installed. Still have FRP tho and was told to wait 72 hours.
Mean time my fiancé just bought an iPhone instead.

Been away from xda for a while so didnt see your post. Instead of sammobile you can usuallly find firmware on androidfilehost. If you were on 6.0.1 before then you should be able to flash this file:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120707260
if that doesnt work then 7.0 file should work (basically you need the same version that was flashed or updated version, older versions not allowed):

Do they know the CEO of Samsung or something? This is the most frustrating Beta I've ever been apart of. Can't even test the damn thing.

Has anyone tried it on an S10 (G973F) with November security patch? And since it is asking to have checked OEM Unlock, does it unlock the bootloader?
----Edit
I've tried sideloading beta1 over ASJG didn't work I had to downgrade to ASII to make it work.
After installing beta1, playstore started telling me that my device is not certified and can not install apps like Netflix. so flashing (with CSC not HOME_CSC, so I don't know if it work with HOME_CSC) ASJG with Odin fixed the issue.

Since it's beta, it won't be certified by Google. That warning is even showing on all official betas. Netflix is a known problem and the Play version won't work. Most have been downloading Netflix from Apkmirror and that works.

What have you tried on the lockout? Some have gotten by it just by booting into safe mode, and some by booting into recovery.

First, use frija to download the proper firmeware fir you.
The boot your device into download mode and the flash it using odin (using home_csc, if it doesn't work try it again with csc) and the downloaded firmeware.
It should fix your problem as you go back to Android pie

Note 8 soft bricked

Salutations everybody. I haven't had a phone from sammy in a while. Finally invested in a SM-N950F note 8. It's oreo. Tried to root earlier today using the pinned guide in the Guides forum. After going through the process, and flashing twrp. Then formatting data. And rebooting it to twrp (which I did a couple of times) (May been where I messed up,but it doesn't seem likely to me) I flashed the oreo n950f oem issue zip and rooted with magisk. Upon rebooting & enabling dev options. The oem toggle was missing. The guide didn't say what to do in the event that it was missing. Just that it was safe to reboot if it was there, and enabled.
Me being rushed for time rebooted anyway, and now when I try to boot up I get only official released binaries may be flashed, and the phone shuts off.
I'm aware I can restore to stock via odin. But I have a couple of questions.
A. Can I use the same odin version I used for the root process to return to stock, or do I need a different one?
And
B. There are loads of options for country and carrier on sammobiles site. I bought the phone used and have no idea of its country of origin. There is a version that says unknown for country and (bat) for carrier. Is that one safe to use, and is there any difference between the firmwares other than carrier setting being preinstalled (would be my guess of the only difference.)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

This msg Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed cause of the new security patch lock which called RMM or KG and since u were rooted before then u got this error that's cause you flashed a new BL to your device or you were connected to internet before editing kernel to prevent samsung to add the new lock to your device anyway a normal flash through odin will solve your problem and your device will be ready to use it again without any problems but also without any custom files like TWRP and Magsic which means u will not be able to root your device before editing kernel to remove the new security patch lock

Okay I was thinking I might of missed something. The patch for oem issue I thought covered that.
Is the unknown (bat) firmware the one I need to flash to stock?

Using odin 13.1.3 is recommended.
As you have the N950F, it is part of the multi OXM CSC, so you can flash the filmware for you country and carrier if desired (N950F)
If you want to root, I suggest just flashing a custom rom or kernel, as they have been patched for the RMM KG state issue.

[samsung note 8][revert to stock firmware from custom]

Alirghty so i bought a used samsung note 8 duos. it says it on the back, in the software, in smart switch, heck even the AP and CSC files are infact for a SM-N950F
Here is where the problem is as far as I've figured out, I'll explain what the firmware files are on the device taken from dialing *#12580*369#:
BL:N950NKSU5DSK1
AP:N950FXXS7DSH1
CP:N950NKOU5DSH1
CSC:N950FOXM7DSG1
The phone runs fine honestly but its bugs me that there two different binaries mixed in my phone from what i can tell the BL and CP are from a Korean level 5 Binary (also can someone tell me why security levels matter now?) and the AP and CSC are from F model level 7 Binary
I cant flash anything stock cause its the only thing ive tried and it just wont let me. I am downloading a level 5 binary in *hopes* that it doesnt see an issue with the security levels between firmwares as i always get the fricken PIT error or secure download error orrrr the magic string invaild
All i need is a way to get my dualsims back up and running ive got two imeis on this phone which ive checked online and theyre working also id love it if i could just get all 4 files to be from the same firmware zip
FYI the only thing ive been able to flash is TWRP after which i got to installing no-verity and magisk, Ive been using twrp backups as a failsafe to revert back to the 'original' state my phone was in and thats the only thing working for me so far and i may or may not be a noob in flashing samsung devices

The reason for that is because the phone has obviously been repaired using different hardware from different devices. It's never going to be able to flash normal firmware being that there's different hardware in it. If you want to upgrade that you'll need to use the different versions of firmware for each different hardware.. I'd just send it back if I bought it from somewhere like that.

Revert to Stock
I owns one Galaxy Note 8 SN950-F Indian version,
I have installed one custom ROM for my mobile last month and now i need to revert back to stock.
How can i do it ? Once i installed stock OS using Odin but Knox looks crashed and apps like secure folder not working !
Can i get it done through service center ? When i contacted them they said its impossible as you have rooted once.

Once Knox is tripped it takes a motherboard replacement to revert it.
If SF (Secure Folder) is that important to you, stay on a custom rom that has patched SF patched already.
Literally all TWRP/Rom threads warn you of this, always read the whole OP of any thread in the future.

Yeah. Thats what im doing now. Running on doctor ketans rom.
but im little worried now. Because haven't used any custom roms and worried about security issues.
Can we still go back to stock os ? With genuine updates?

Just follow the steps in the thread below. At the bottom of post #2 you can download "samfirm" for you Pc, it will let you download the latest filmware at a decent speed. (once back on stock you should disable OEM lock so your bank app, Netflix etc will work)

Like I said to you above, once Knox is tripped SF won't work, if SF is that important to you stay on a custom rom that has patched SF. If you're worried about security updates use DeluxeRom which has last months security patch.

I am having this same problem.....my phone got bricked so i was looking for my stock rom but the only stock rom that works with my Samsung note 8 is the korean version which supports one 1 sim but my device is dual sim

Question Device does not update (SOLVED!!!)

Edit:
SOLVED!!!!
finally figured out the issue, will share just for information as unlikely to happen with anyone else.
When i installed xiaomi.eu, i cannot remember which partition it was installed at, was it slot A or B. and when i flashed back to official rom, i left it by default.
This has messed up my partitions when i was back to official rom. so whenever i update my system, it would just fail all the time because it is over writing the booted partition.
dont know how, and dont ask me how i fixed it, all i can explain is the following:
checked on fastboot the slot and it was A. so i tried to change it to B and it didnt work with all available commands. So, i used TWRP to boot into fastboot slot B and installed fresh ROM 12.5.4. bootloader unlocked just to be safe. then updated and it went through without any issues.
i cannot explain what exactly happened and if what i did was correct and if my theory is correct, but it worked!!!!.
Thanks to everyone contact me and gave me any idea.
Hi All,
"Couldn't update Miui"
"download rom and try updating again"
i have an issue with my device, it all started after i install eu rom and then flashed back original rom and locked bootloader.
i was on 12.5.2 when i unlocked bootloader the first time, and install eu. version. tried it for a week, and it was really bad. so i switched back to original rom 12.5.4 when it was released and locked bootloader, after that, since then, i was not able to update my device to the following roms. i tried the first time 12.5.6 and it didnt go through when device rebooted. as deviced auto restarted for a few times, (it boot to miui logo for 3 sec's then blink green then restart, happens for a few times like 6-10 times) then device reboots back to version before update but really really really slow.
in the begining, i thought it was faulty update, but i found that several people did it successfully,
Then i thought they have their bootloader unlock and 12.5.6 was a beta version, so that was the reason, until stable 12.5.7 showed up. so i've unlocked bootloader and updated, same issue.
Then i thought, maybe 12.5.4 version downloaded is corrupt somehow, so i've installed 12.5.2 and updated, failed again. same result.
all all cases above, i tried locked and unlocked bootloader and i still get green blinking a few times then a very slow version before update.
Anyone familiar with this case? i really need your help.

the problem is, i did that a few times now. doesnt work.
seems like there is something blocking in the update after reboot.

the error i am getting after every failure is the following:
"Couldn't update Miui"
"download rom and try updating again"

could it be a reason of installing xiaomi.eu using twrp that the partition has changed and caused this problem? just a thought.

Are you trying to install it via the OTA? Because the problem can be the unlocked bootloader

OTA and local upgrade through the 3 dots. any other way?
btw, just tried again with locked bootloader

Well that's weird. I can push the installation with the 3 dots and everything goes well
