Help URGENT Need help with FRP Lock

knigglessama · Apr 27, 2019

So two days ago, I've been suffering from a message saying that the custom binary was blocked by the FRP lock. So I decided to factory reset within the phone itself and that hasn't worked. I tried to flash the stock with Odin but it gets stuck at "getting PIT for mapping" and stops and says "complete write operation failed". My phone is being detected in download mode. I've tried two different PCs. One doesn't even recognise the device and one does. I've even tried different cables but no luck. I am unable to enable usb debugging mode and that probably is a huge concern. I just want my device in working order.
My Device:
SM-G930F
OS - Android Oreo 8.0
Any1 got any ideas?

FRP is factory reset protection, and anti-theft measure, So the simplest solution is to enter the Google password last used on that phone.

But I'm not qujite sure what's going on here: you talk about doing a reset "within the phone itself", but if FRP is engaged you can't reset from the phone's menu because you can't get into the phone. So can you start from the beginning, say how you got into this situation in the first place? This feels a bit like you've started in the middle of the story, and it will be clearer if we know the whole thing,

So what i meant by factory resetting is that I did Volume Up+Power+Home and did a wipe there. I can't boot into the OS either. It all happened when I started transferring videos to my PC but my phone froze and I decided to hard reset it. The phone has been rooted before but that was a year back and my phone was working perfectly fine since then.

And after the reset it didn't just ask you to enter your password (as FRP should)? Sounds like some extra booby-trap on Samsung have devices (everything I can find on this message seems to be Samsung).

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with flashing Samsungs so can't help with that. I seem to recall that more recent Samsungs can use "smart switch" rather than Odin for flashing, don't know whether that's worth trying.

Nope, its stuck on the S7 boot screen, also tried smart switch but no luck.

is the phone still rooted? if so do you have a custom recovery (twrp)?

Shotgun84 · Apr 27, 2019

You shouldn't need the pit for the s7. Make sure you haven't got repartition ticked as that's what the PIT's for.

No I dont, the phone was unrooted a few months back

ocnbrze · Apr 30, 2019

Ok so this is really not necessarily about frp. First you need a phone that can boot up. Have your tried to factory reset again?

I've tried various versions of Odin but I they all output fails while being stuck at "Get PIT for mapping". I've also tried every version possible (6,7,8) but they all weren't any different. I've got a new cable since that was something that caused the issue but nothing changed.

I know it says 80MB i was trying if trying to root it again will do any better, but its the same thing again.

If you are using the latest released version by date for you country/ carrier
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=Sm-g930f&rpp=15&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1

And the latest Odin, 12 or higher, should work.

ocnbrze · Apr 30, 2019

Can you post what s7 model you have as well as the firmware versions you have tried as well?

Which version should I pick?
The original carrier was O2 but I've moved onto the 3 carrier.

Jfalls63 · Apr 30, 2019

If it was originally O2 and not a multi CSC version, you might need to try O2 latest released version just to get it back working. Then you can check available CSC versions and flash a generic unbranded version later
