PLEASE HELP - My phone is locked at a teal screen with a small black bar at the top which reads "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (vbmeta)" The main portion, in teal reads "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost." I have tried every button combination that i can think of to try to get back to twrp, recovery or download but it always boots back to this screen. I cant get odin to detect it when plugged into the pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I was able to get to download but it will not let me reflash either the vbmeta or twrp recovery tar files. "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(vbmeta)"

I am in the United States but couldn't find any firmware for here. I have a SM-A705MN/DS and with limited options, i chose the Philippines firmware, A705MNXXU1ASD5_A705MNOLO1ASD5. I am just learning ODIN since I haven't owned a samsung phone for years. It wont accept zip files, which is how everything comes. When i extract the firmware, i get the five tar files and load up four in ODIN, AP, BL, CP and CSC but receive this error when i try to flash, "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1"

I downloaded what i believe is the stock rom from the Havoc Rom site here on XDA for the A70, Havoc-OS-v2.9-20191013-a70q-Unofficial. Its a zip file, can i flash this with ODIN somehow? Or, can i get a stock rom from somewhere else?

Download Samfirm,then download your stock firmware.

Unpack zip file.

Then open Odin and choose AP and open AP file frome your downloaded stock files.

It's very easy [emoji16]

Turn on the phone.

Go to Settings, Developer options and uncheck Auto update system.

Then check USB debbuging and OEM unlock.

Back to main menu and turn on WIFI on phone,then connect with your network.

Go to Settings and change time settings from auto to manual and set date to 1 mai 2019. Then check system updates.

Reboot phone and flash vbmeta[emoji16].

[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] percentevo:
When the twrp flash completes, it tries to auto boot back into system. Did you stop that and boot straight into twrp? If you let it boot to system before you go to twrp, itll overwrite with the stock recovery.

You flashed magisk, are you using a custom rom or stock system? Maybe double check the stock and AOSP instructions for magisk install on pg 1.

Push the recovery.img file you just download for TWRP to your phone. Open Magisk Manager and hit install and patch a file. Select recovery.img and Magisk should start the patching process. Once Magisk is done, boot into TWRP. Backup your boot partition first and afterwards go into install and then hit install image on the bottom right of the screen. Select /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img and install it to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work. If you run into issues after this, go into TWRP and restore the boot partition you backed up previously.))))) the phone continuous restart

and if i did this steps (((((If you are on an AOSP based rom:

Reboot to TWRP. Create a backup with boot partition. Reboot back to system, then open Magisk and hit install and patch a file. Locate the TWRP backup folder and look up your backup you just created. Select boot.emmc.win for patching. Once Magisk is done, reboot back to TWRP. Go into install and then hit install image on the bottom right of the screen. Select /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img and install it to boot. Now reboot and Magisk should work.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ashyx:
On these devices you need to do a 3 step unlocking process.

1.Enable OEM UNLOCK.

2. Boot to download mode and long press volume up to unlock the bootloader.

3. Install the RMM bypass

It seems you didn't relock the bootloader and are now probably RMM locked.

Boot to download mode and post a screenshot of the info top left.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ashyx:
So what is the goal here? Remove the unlocked notice or enable the oem unlock button?

If it's the latter try doing a software update check then reboot and check for the oem unlock option.

You will need to flash stock firmware first as the boot or recovery kernel is showing as custom.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] catdoggy:
Hello. I'd rooted many phones, but the A70 is the first one i needed 2 attempts.. Lol.

First attempt: unlock bootloader - no problem.

Install vbmeta.tar- for me it was easier to uncheck "autoboot" in Odin and reboot manually after flashing (Hold power and volume down, after the screen turns black release volume down and press volume up while holding power)- no problem.

Flashing TWRP, reboot into tecovery, ok.

Patching TWRP (revovery.img) with magisk and flashed as *recovery*- NOOOOO, STUPID MISTAKE by me. In OP Grarak writes "flash as BOOT", but in my head i thought "recovery in" recovery"....

Damn, ok,... flashed original firmware with Odin to repair phone, then start all over again- and... perfect root:)

Question:

What do you do when there is a new monthly stock update.?

How should we flash in order to retain TWRP and not have to wipe everything and start over with whole recovery flashing process.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] catdoggy:
As In the past: with root no OTA updates, you had to flash new SW with Odin and lost root. So started over the whole recovery prcess-ok, the process was easier, but same thing.

For your data use titanium backup.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dj69holland:
loosing root and restoring with TB - this is ok and same with most custom rom flashing.

but my concern is with recovery.

when i have a new update, and i flash with odin all the files (with home_csc).. i assume TWRP will be over writen with stock recovery. so i guess id have to also redo recovery install process.

any way to not have to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ashyx:
For what reason does data need to be backed up and restored with TB?

ALL non user partitions need to be stock for an OTA. Flashing with ODIN its irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] dj69holland:
ashyx, Titaniumbackup for backing up/ restoring apps and data after clean flashing rom.

and i am not talking about OTA, because isn't OTA not working when bootloader unlocked and using custom?

let me start over...

ok just say ive followed the steps in this thread and i now have unlocked bootloader + TWR +, root + stock sept build...

then on sammobile i download the new october build (.zip with AP, BL, CP, CSC and HOME_CSC files),

what do i need to do or which files do i flash in odin not to loose TWRP.

im trying to avoid going through the whole process of flashing TWRP everytime i what to update.

also trying to get confirmation that if i flash with Home_CSC that it does not overwrite TWRP with stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ashyx:
You cannot avoid installing stock recovery. It MUST be installed to complete the update.

Also why would you need to clean flash the ROM? Seems a bit pointless to wipe then restore the exact same apps and settings with TB?

There's no need at all to wipe anything when updating a stock system. Either by OTA or ODIN.

boot the phone into fastboot(bootloader) *using hardware buttons

then using fastboot you can flash & reset the phone

this should work regardless of usb debug

this should work even if bootloader is locked if you are using official firmware

you can try using google accoung to wipe the phover wifi if connected to internet

you can try to remove and then reattach the screen

when you are in the bootloader menu

select recovery

*you select recovery by moving with volume buttons and selecting/yes/enter with power button *touch not needed

in recovery you use the volume buttons to navigate and power button to select

navigate to reset using volume button

then wipe / reset / clear cache etc
