I can't understand how you have twrp installed and when you flash it again you get that message. I can only think that might be a bug somewhere and it prevents you from flashing even if rmm is disabled, maybe because you didn't fully updated to official. Check again the OEM toggle, put it off and back on, untick auto reboot in odin and see what it says on the phone. You can also try to download full official oreo and extract modem and bootloader from there. My personal advice is to wipe everything and flash full stock oreo via odin even if that will bring you rmm state and the 168h wait for flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
I'm also confused. Can we see a screen shot of download mode on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
Well.. i flashed an oreo from samfirmware.. i just finish the 168h yest.. flashed twrp then flash a custom rom.. just cant update to oreo BL and Modem.. i will try to flash the bootloader and modem from the firmware that i downloaded from samfirmware and see how it goes...
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
My download screen..
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
This is odd, you're not FRP or RMM locked, have a custom recovery installed, but you can't install official firmware?

Can you boot to recovery or not?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
Yup.. i can boot to recovery... No prob for that..
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
Are you certain the files you are attempting to flash with odin are for your device?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
Yes. Confirmed. https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=247818. this is the TWRP link that i tried. got the same error. its for the S8, G950FD.

and attached is the odin files..
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
Have these files been confirmed to work by anyone? :confused:

There are 2 issues here. One is the files you have linked are TWRP flashable zips not ODIN flashable.

Second is 2 of the files contained cannot be flashed via recovery.

SBOOT.BIN and CM.BIN are bootloader images and are protected partitions which need to be flashed via ODIN.

Unless things have changed there's no way these will flash via recovery.

Also the image you have posted does not relate to these files? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
Seems that those files are associated to winzip. My wild guess is that those 2 files were downloaded as zip maybe and that's why odin doesn't want to flash them.. Regarding updating bl and modem via recovery, some users pulled from fota.zip the lines for recovery updating, some of the times works, but i'm totally against flashing sensitive things like bootloader via recovery.

[MENTION=2745111]r4stafari[/MENTION] download full oreo fw from a trusty source and flash them with odin from there.

One thing i don't get, you said you fully updated to oreo via odin. Considering this, you already have oreo bootloader and modem so why do you want to flash them again? I can think of not updating modem and bootloader because they are already updated....
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
Yes... I see ur point of me updated to oreo bl and modem... But after he 168h, i flashed twrp.. then the custom rom.. straight away it gave me that message... So due to it, i had to continue to flash nougat bl and modem to have a complete installation of the custom rom and to continue to boot up my phn normally... Thats wat i dont understand...

And as for the custom rom, the rmm fix is already in it. So i was told that dirty flashing the bl and modem update should have no prob.. but i still encounter this.. then i had to flash nougat bl and modem, booted uo into twrp then can install the custom rom...

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Yup2... I can see ur point.. the link is using twrp... And the image is using odin... I tried both ways.. first the odin way... I got the message.. then i reflash nougat... Boot up..... Secondly i tried the twrp way... Also same result...
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
I can see what's happening in there. Oreo bootloader is locking you again, nougat bootloader unlocks you. You can't boot up with oreo bootloader because you probably have patched boot img. Also twrp not working anymore because it's custom binary, ofc.

You need to full flash oreo fw, wait again 168h, install twrp and delete Rlc app from priv-app with twrp file manager, boot the phone and no more lock, and after that you can flash anything.

Another way is to keep nougat bootloader and modem, but eventually you will have bugs caused by not updating and you will need to go back to stock oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
i can understand ur point....

so this is another workaround? or a proven solution? haha....

thats wat i thought so... could be problematic if not updated.. as baseband is of oreo...
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
I suggest you do as suggested above and forget about flashing these files as they are not required and causing confusion.

Just flash the BL part of the OREO firmware. MUST be correct for your region or ODIN may refuse to flash it.

As long as you don't flash the stock system image then the RMM patch should remain intact. The same goes for the boot image, but you will need an OREO boot image anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
but wouldnt it lock the phone again??

cause the issue is caused by flashing BL. The suggested one was to flash a whole new firmware of oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
The code is already in the bootloader. There's nothing you can do about that. It is the variables set in the build.prop that activate it plus the RLC app.

If you update the system image to stock then you will lose the modded build.prop and the RLC app will be reinstalled.

The boot image that Blackmesa123 provides automatically populates the build.prop and deletes the RLC app before the OS boots which prevents the RMM state being set.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] r4stafari:
I understand this point... Tried just flashing the BL.. got the message... And unable to boot into recovery... So probably the only thing is to flash whole firmware.. and be in jail again... Lol...
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] billa:
The new RMM security is designed to stop the theft of new phones by disabling the OEM-Unlock settings for 168-hours, whenever a non-original/un-signed firmware is flashed.

What you need to do is flash it with a full official stock firmware which was designed specifically for your phone model using Odin v3.13.1 https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-flash-oreo-g955fxxu1crb7-using-t3755789, keep it turned on constantly for 168 hours about 7-days (do not restart!), then enable OEM-Unlock. During this waiting period do not touch the phone, do not try to flash anything, just leave it turned on and plugged into the charger.

Finally, flash a custom recovery like TWRP, BUT do not let the system to boot up normally. Immediately after the recovery flash reboot into recovery by holding Vol Up + Home/Bixby + Power, and flash the RMM Disabler zip ( https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22 ) through recovery.

This way when you boot the system, the RMM lock will be already disabled so you won't get locked again.

However, you must redo all these steps again every time you flash a full system firmware, because that enables RMM security again.

Looks like it's only affecting the international Exynos models for now, the US Qualcomm models do not have this RMM yet, but of course Sammy could activate it at anytime with a simple firmware upgrade.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
All recent US Qualcomm models are bootloader locked now anyway which is even worse than RMM.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] billa:
Yep, and can you imagine IF they decide to enable RMM too on the US QC models in addition to having locked bootloaders? Then we can't even root it to disable RMM to begin with, turning into a catch 22 cycle. Let's just hope not, cuz then the only way if by JTAG or eMMC connection method. Booo!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
Not sure I follow?

RMM would be pointless on a bootloader locked device. It has no function.

RMM disables OEM_UNLOCK and prevents unofficial binaries being flashed.

Neither of which can be done on a bootloader locked device anyway.

RMM is almost a temporary bootloader lock on an Exynos device.

On QC models it's permanent.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] raja@xda:
Honestly what can a end consumer do, oh well what a shame i still have it a5 2017, to me its the perfect form factor, and hardware specs wise as well, with orio and android p iy would fly even wiyh sammy boys sock nloatware. Oh well, hppe linage guys relase a stable rom for this device, at times i think sammy boys by mistake made this devoce and gave the consumer somerhing decent , and value for money, and then i am in india , they just pilled out of this model here i am getting it second hand almost brand new for 150 dollars, taking 70 rupees as 1 dollar, oh well , by the way if it helps as i have already been locked 3 times now, try sabs to stop bloatware and it does help in performance till linage comes out or a stanle rom is available for this device, damn this is a good device not to big not to small,:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] billa:
What I was trying to say is that the last thing we need is both bootloader lock and RMM to be on at the same time.

I understand your point that it's almost like a temporary bootloader lock, but it would complicate things even more with the long 7-day wait time.

Either way, the consumer is screwed. imho

how to install twrp after February patch?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ajnajao1:
ok i tried ure rmm state patch it was not working in A8 plus

i tried it when i get unlock oem optn

then flash twrp

then i try to instal ur zip it was not geting instal

then i install magisk and boot to system

when i restarted phone i got mesg

only official binaries allow

what i have to do next time i m curntly in jail now what should i try now ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
You need to wait again 168h. After flashing again twrp and magisk don't boot yet, go in twrp Advanced menu, File manager, navigate to system/priv-app and manually delete Rlc folder from there.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ajnajao1:
ok what about vulatkeper.feature value ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
If the app is not there, vaultkeeper service stops without locking the device. So it's safe enough to only delete Rlc folder from priv-app.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] netphantm:
another update..

I'm 114 hours in, waiting for the bloody unlock, and yesterday they just proposed another fw update on my A520F.

I used to think samsung is the best out there, but it almost seems like it will be my last one. BL locks and knox warranty loss, it's just not worth the trouble anymore...

OK, done. It all went well without a hitch, nice.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] Funkmonkey:
Hi guys, asked this in another thread, might have been the wrong place tho, and unsure of the answer to this.

Went through all of the rmm state prenormal stuff was patient did the week and have now done what i need to get the phone mostly running (950F)

Ive got the XSA Oreo build here, and as you guys did had to go and get the modified odin etc, but there was also something where i needed to get a modified version of 7zip to handle the new type of image file as well. I think it was in an early fixit thread somewhere. My question (and would have been happy to have a go at it myself) -

If i extract everything out of the firmware download, then extract everything out of the AP file, *then* extract the system.img file, and make the relevant changes RE: rmm_bypaass_mesa, then compressed the whole lot back up again into the AP file... can i then attempt to flash *that* or would it throw up its own errors?

In effect, im suggesting from stock nougat where we have a handle on everything and have an unlocked bootloader then by my logic writing the rmm bypass workaround *into* the stock oreo youre wanting to flash, thereby bypassing the *first* rmm prenormal entirely.

As it stands, i have a working rooted S8 now and pretty much how i like it to run anyway, but no samsung pay, pass, available, and no automatic updates. Have modified the build prop and got Samsung health running and google pay works although im not really wanting to use it. No spare phone here so not going to attempt it until a drastic new update appears.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] gcrutchr:
Is it possible to extract system folder from downloaded rom package, remove rlc folder, make changes to build.prop, then tar the system folder and flash it in ODIN?

Will this circumvent waiting 7 days for RLC flag to go to normal?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] BlackMesa123:
Yes, but if you're locked it won't reset your RMM State to Normal since by removing Rlc app you automatically disable RMM in framework-side. So you must wait the 7 days countdown with full stock anyway to get unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
If you are locked you can't flash altered system and not signed by samsung. So this is a pointless discussion.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] muhammadshais:
Okay so. I have S9 and was affected by that stupid Rmm state and have waited 7 days for. The lock to disappear and flash twrp. I just want to add that rebooting ur device does not affect rmm state as I have rebooted 3 times during the waiting period so u can reboot but don't reset the device don't pull out ur sim card.

Also somewhere I read that u have to stay connected to. Mobile network all the time that's also. Not. True I was in no service zone for few hours but that didn't affect the rmm reset

So safe things to do during the wait period

Reboot the device

Go out of signal zone

Not to do things

Format the device or reset the device

Flash any other firmware

Pull. Out ur sim cars

Pm me if u can't understand any of. The stuff I'll try to. Help u

Ok...here is my experience with all of this...

I waited 8 days...went into download mode and did not see RMM State at all (not normal nor prenornal...nothing).

I installed TWRP and booted into TWRP, removed RLC folder and changed build.prop ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature=0.

I could not format, erase or anything with the data partition...it would not mount...invalid parameters err msg.

When I rebooted and got to boot logo screen, I go into a bootloop.

I reinstalled stock OS...rebooted into download mode and no RMM state listed.

I have tried this procedure a few times with no success.

My phone was manufactured in November 2017.

As of now, I am on stock...have not lost any data...cannot get a proper reboot with TWRP installed.

Any ideas what is happening?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
In wipe menu of twrp you'll have "Format data" button on the right side. If that also fails you, could be twrp related, try to install other twrp version if you have, or report the issue to twrp developer. Check attached screenshot. Regards
