I see. I wish I still had the ODIN Firmware G925VVRS4CPI2_G925VVZW4CPI2_VZW that still had the VZW CSC in it. Nowadays it only contains the home csc. someone removed the vzw csc from all the ones I can find online. It does actually make a difference.

Hi I am stuck in the same situation. Can you help out with the steps and firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] softasspoptart:
Read the whole thread. I explained everything I went through and did. Download pl4 6.1 firmware files from your region. USA is southern something. If you are getting the black screen like I was flash the AP file BL file and CSC file. Not CSCHOME BUT just CSC. When its done flashing the firmware, reboot into download mode and restart the device from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] barrios35:
Sorry. I reread it all and it made sense. Now to download it. It takes 15+ hours any chance on a faster download. Was hoping to do it today before I left work since I am flying out. Any other sites that I can download from faster?

So what operating system are you on and how is everything working?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] barrios35:
It worked! My situation was different. The OEM locker was off which locked me from the rooting and any software updating. :(

I would just get the red Custom Binary Blocked By FRP and rebooting.

I wanted to say thanks again!

Firmware: I grabbed the PL4 and device driver. Paid the premium, thought I should support them as well.

I am a happy camper! Thanks

No problem bro. My oem lock was also off that's why I was having so much trouble and had to do it this way. I'm on Nougat 7.0 and having no problems whatsoever ?.

galaxy tab E sm t560nu

I need to know how to by pass the google sign in page, so I can use this tablet.

I have looked the internet and youtube over. But it seems it gives information to older model tablets.

it is a lost cause... will I ever be able to use this tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I thought you had a T560nu? In any case there are various methods that will likely work for your device.

Just downgrade to the earliest firmware you can install then try the FRP bypass.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
SM-T560 bypass procedure is the same as SM-T580. You just need to downgrade to Android 6 if you current OS is Android 7.

If it's Android 6, then depending on the build, older one works with Hot Spot method to add new user.

The latest build of Android 6 will work with Assist method. There are many threats in this forum related to FRP bypass, you just

need to take time to read how to do it. You did not say specifically what OS and build you have, it's hard for everyone to help you.

Most people has a common misunderstanding that a method can work for every tablet and build, then they will fail miserably and still don't know why.

FRP bypass without OTG cable only take 10 minutes max if you know how and it's not a rocket science. I can bypass FRP on 5 different Samsung tablets with ease.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
I have a Verizon GS5 that has been towelrooted on 4.4.4 for close to 2 years. It's worked ok, but I've started seeing various issues that required a factory reset. Since I'm back to no settings, I was thinking updating the OS would be a good idea. I would like to move to either Lollipop or Mashmallow but it looks like the latter may be a problem with my phone (CID 11 and Verizon) while keeping Knox 0x0.

I'm having a problem following the guide that I've found here:

https://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/07/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-verizon.html

The issue is that I can't get the phone to connect to my PC for Kies or ODIN. It fails to load the MTP driver for my GS5 but works fine with my wife's GS5. Hers is stock Lollipop or Marshmallow and mine is still on JB but is rooted.

I guess what I'm wondering is what my options are. Should I remove root so that I can hopefully connect to the PC to transfer the files over and updating? Or, is there something else I should try first? I haven't worked on many phones and I'm a little nervous about doing something irreversible at this point. I don't know that I need Knox at 0x0, but since I can't get back if I trip it, I'd rather not trip it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
Try to dial *#0808# in the stock phone application.

You should see a menu with several options.

Select "MTP+ADB" under USB settings and press "OK".

Then you'll be able to connect your phone via MTP or ADB to your PC.

If there's no menu, then (assuming you're rooted) open a good file browser (ES, Root Explorer or something) and open the file /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu (it's a simple text file) and replace OFF with ON there.

Save the changes and reboot the phone.

Now the menu should be operational.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Unfortunately, I already tried to update to 6.0.1 so this very helpful info is a little to late.

I followed all directions on the linked page above but didn't get things working. I repeated 2 or 3 times now and I'm clearly missing something. I can get through installing busybox, but then when I reset, it hangs at the samsung screen and just vibrates 3 times repeatedly. I'm going to have to figure this out tonight as I don't really have a backup phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
Currently root is impossible for MM on G900V CID11.

Impossible means you cannot gain it now, most likely it's forever.

There's no internet site which can help.

You must choose: root on LP or unrooted MM.

You must decide if you want a stock ROM or something (TW-based) else too.

It's a good idea to flash and use a stock firmware for the time while you're thinking.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Interesting... I guess I must have been reading things wrong because I thought I could go to MM with root. I'll try going to Lollipop then but first I'm going to just flash back to JB 4.4.4.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
I downloaded 4.4.4 from Samsung and was going to write it with Odin, but it says FAIL when I try to flash. I suspect I just tripped Knox...

SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1

I'll look around to find a guide, but if you have a suggestion, I'd certainly listen!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
This means that you've upgraded your phone's firmware while experimenting.

Now you cannot directly flash 4.4.4 with Odin, you're limited to 5.0 (BOK3) and above.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Ok. I'll read the guides on the head of this list and see if I can find the right information.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
FWIW, I was following the same how-to that most of the stickies point to and say is safe. I wonder how I got to a position that I'm in now when I did the same as recommended. Painiac's thread points to the same thing I did:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-painiacs-essential-guide-to-t3319848

I think I may have tried to flash a MM stock rom though when it got into a boot loop. I suspect that would be the issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsc:
Bootloop is not a problem in this case.

Just reboot to the recovery and perform a factory reset from there.

The phone will boot but the first boot will take 10-15 min.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Security Researcher:
Marshmallow can not be rooted on CID 11 devices. The Samsung drivers are found here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/galaxy-s5-verizon You can follow the 5.0 root guide here: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529 to downgrade to 5.0. If you want to downgrade past that to a version lower than 5.0, you will still have to follow that guide then follow the instructions here (I recommend you to follow the root guide for 5.0 above then skip steps 1 and 2 on this page): https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-downgrade-to-kk-nk2-ncg-mm-lp-t3686858 . You can find stock firmwares here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880 (stock firmware, kernel, and modem files) and if you get bootlooped or bricked, just reflash the combination file from the root guide. If you want to root 4.4.4, follow the downgrade method using all of the NK2 files but the flash the NGC kernel, run through the setup, then use towelroot and flash the NK2 kernel after that. If you ever get stuck on the red Verizon screen, just pop the battery out and reboot.

That's about all anyone can do and a run down of everything.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Thank you for posting specific guides. I'll go back to step 1 and try again. The primary issue I have at this point isn't reading the guide and following directions, its finding the right guide to reduce the number of images I need to download. I'm on 1.5mbps DSL so d/l a 2GB file takes most of a day. I have several that don't appear useful at this point which means I've lost several days.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Security Researcher:
Understandable, I can't believe it is 2018 and we still haven't invented a way to compress 1.7GB into 1.7MB archives to make life easy on low connections. How is battery life on 4.4.4 and which update of 4.4.4 are you on? I've been having an issue with my phone dropping a percent every 2 minutes on 5.0/6.0. It would be nice find a version to root along with excellent battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
The reason I was looking at updating was due to battery issues. I had the phone for around a week before I rooted it (a couple years ago). After rooting, I started seeing immediate battery issues. My wife has the same unrooted phone (currently on MM) and has never had the type of issues I have. I figured the issue was likely a bad kernel and was thinking I'd just update to something newer (LL or MM) to help. I assume a new battery would help since mine is 1-2 years old, but I swapped with my wife's phone and she still gets lots better performance. Once I get this back up, I'll probably buy a new battery for each phone.

So it appears that I must have upgraded the bootloader to a point where towelroot no longer works as was previously suggested. I believe then that I need to follow the second guide to be able to downgrade to a rootable Lollipop version:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-downgrade-to-kk-nk2-ncg-mm-lp-t3686858

I am downloading the PB1 rom and lolliroot and need to also get a system restore, kernel, and modem. As I said, my connection is terrible so it would be great if someone could suggest which version of restore I should go with. I was going to install Lollipop in the end (that was the original goal). I figured I'd just get OC4 since it's likely to have the least bugs and best performance. If that is a mistake and I should go with an earlier version of LL PLEASE throw it out there!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Ok, I tethered to my wife's phone and am burning her data (shhhh, don't tell her).

I grabbed all of the OC4 files, the PB1 rom, and lolliroot. I think I have everything I need so long as OC4 is a good place to end up.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Security Researcher:
Here are some files (that I been hunting for about an hour for). Just gonna reference this for future use and anyone who comes across this thread. http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Galaxy S5
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Nice find!

I have the phone up and running on stock PB1 currently. I'm going to let it sit to see what the battery is like prior to rooting. While I haven't gotten it hooked back up to my account yet nor do I have it rooted, I feel pretty confident now that I'm on the right track. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
Just to finish out this topic, I have not successfully completed attaining root on 5.0. I flashed PB1 to the phone and then followed this guide for installing KingRoot:

https://androidforums.com/threads/root-question.1120150/

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ganibal_Lector:
Hi! Could someone advise me how that was done on my phone.

I've bought a S8+ G955U and originally it was Verizon. I still can see VZW carrier in the boot mode. However in the menu of the phone it is said G9550 (which suppose to be Chinese unlocked version).

And now is the most interesting part:

AP: G9550ZCU1AQH6

CP: G955USQU1AQGL

CSC: G9550ZCU1AQH6

So CP is originally from 955U and AP and CSC is from Chinese version. In the same time Knox is still 0x0. Can anyone explain me how that can be done and is it possible just to flash it with a TGY (Hon-Kong firmware)? As far as I understand Odin should not allow to do that, however it was somehow done for Chinese firmware. Thanks in advance.

You can but Use it at your own risk,

You'll need to change the volume level if there is noise in the speaker as I mentioned the lines for mixer_gains.xml...
