Can you try searching for the word "completeness" with my user name (don't use the google search, use the native forum search), for info.

Hey, I think I found the posts you were referring to. However, I'm not sure how much my case differs, as I'm pointing to a .sksc file instead of an exe. So I guess I would create a new shortcut file to that file with the icon string in the shortcut. I tried using icon-viewer, but it just kept scanning the offsets and didn't report any icons. Sorry, it's a bit confusing for me.
[General Topics] vijay555:
In this instance the file extension will have an icon associated to it in the registry. You can hack around with the registry and change it (I think gsfinder allows you to do this without hacking the registry. Probably other apps too), but can you not make a shortcut to the .sksc and then change the icon in the .lnk only (the shortcut only), using the techniques discussed in my posts.

This difficulty is noted specifically on the Galaxy Tab A6 10.1 (SM-T580 and the SM-T585)

After searching through XDA Forums for a solution, I, along with others are at a loss. This Custom binary blocked by frp lock is rather difficult and exibits 4 different ways of showing itself. All but one has basically the same symptoms, which are:

1. Startup goes to bootloop. One version displays Custom binary blocked by frp lock on the Logo Screen.

2. Download Mode is accessible, but not usable. Not accepting of official stock firmware. Also Custom binary blocked by frp lock shown here in another version.

3. Recovery mode inaccessable. Redirects to a screen similar to Download Mode. In upper left, Custom binary blocked by frp lock is displayed. (This one was my device. I solved issue by flashing "Binary 4 FRP Unlock" via Odin. Others could not solve issue).

4. Same symptoms as 1 and 2. However Recovery mode was accessable, not usable. Custom binary blocked by frp lock also present.

I've tried everything I can find on it. Downgrade, flash Binaries 3 and Binaries 4. Flash TWRP, Flash stock firmware. OEM Unlock, 3 files, 4 files, repair files. Nothing seems to work.

Does anyone familiar with this have any good ideas that I haven't used or thought of? This ones got me baffled!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
Solution for some, not all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] cnicely:
I realize this is a bit old but I am at a loss with a t580.. I think I am confused at this point..I have odin and have replaced the .ini file with one you have listed. what happens next? I think I need a bit more instructions.. the other two files give a bad binary code...also you mention the 4 file for the t580.. nothing I find has 4 files.. only 3 ... no CP file. Thanks for any info..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
It may seem old but people are still having this difficulty and I seem to be the only one who bothers to investigate as well as try to help.

Tablets normally do not use the CP file which is for phone operations.

Here's my copy of the current 4file software. You'll notice it has two CSC files one labled HOME. You put one of in the CSC section of Odin3 when flashing. Which one depends on if you want to keep your application data or not. If you wish to keep your application data use the one labled "HOME"

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zvhwUfSRW44V1ZwEsHLRvlh-T0M79ks9

Okay so you're stuck in some kind of Custom Binary FRP lock, can you define which of the 4 scenarios you are having?

Slightly of track, it seems this issue may come up with other and newer devices, so I'll tell you where the binary identifier of your device can be found. Our device currently has the firmware listed as T580UEU4CSC1. The U4 is the binary level of the bootloader I don't know what the U is for but the 4 represents the binary structure that has to be matched. Whatever binary number that may change to, it will always be in the same place.

The following two files are flashed one at a time. They are labeled somewhat use the one with a 1 first. Place it in the AP section on Odin3 and flash. You can either uncheck the reboot option or be prepared to go to download mode while the device reboots. by holding Power+Volume Down+ Home Button. Once back in Download mode place the second file in the AP section and flash. Be aware this method was used on another device than mine. It is one that came up during research and worked for someone I was assisting after the first method failed.

1. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rX_luP_0W4ygdloIr2Gr9TCSfqFyaTK-

2. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xsw4GVYtNMJhiMXV2cR2jaJvToG_n6Pi

I can't currently locate my Combination or Repair files. It may be the first link I sent you. They should be listed with BL, AP and the two CSC files you only use one of. They go in their respective spaces and there isn't a CP file.

The file you mentioned as ini was not that when I first uploaded it and has somehow changed. It was a patched Odin3 that worked better for this issue so it looks like I have two files to locate in my vast file system that I'll put up here by tomorrow. The patched Odin3 and the U4 Binary Unlock. Meanwhile...

This is the file that got me out of Custom Binary FRP Lock. Place it in the AP section of Odin3 and flash. Right after that, reboot to Download Mode and flash in the 4 file.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rip0qIGo-GbzFdH55s1vIpe6f1aqYKbD/view

Hopefully that works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ParadiseEagle87:
Hi, thanks for your post. Does it work also for the T585? It's exactly T585XXU2BQK5
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
The method works but the files here will not work for you because your device is using a binary 2. Although the T580 and the T585 are essentialy the same device yours can access the network and uses the CP file. I'll save you some time with this link. https://combinationfirmware.com/downloads/t585xxu2apl1/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ParadiseEagle87:
Hi, thanks for the link but there is now "Download" button except for other versions like T585XXU2ARC2 and T585XXU2AQC1 but no download button for T585XXU2APL1

Thank you

Thank you for the reply. I will work on this early next week. Hopefully I can follow everything..from what I read I think I understand a bit more than I did. Thank you again for the effort you put in to help out those of us who are not "into" this on a regular basis.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] cnicely:
Thank you

WHOHOO!!! I did it...not sure what I did but I did it. I tried both unlock files and the combination put me in factory binary mode.. I could check and test everything but didn't know what else to do.. If I remember correctly I then did the 4 files (again) and when it rebooted it came up without the FRP. but It appears to be running fine. Thanks to Casper Young for the time taken to help out...can't express enough my appreciation for the time and effort you gave.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
Are you still having difficulties? Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was on vacation. Let me know if you still need assisstance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Bass3rr:
Thank Casper for this interesting post.

Do I understand you correctly, that this solution only helps to recover from a FRP lock situation and flash back the original firmware, but does not allow you to install a custom rom on the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
Maybe you do, maybe you don't. You would have to clarify what type of FRP you are experiencing. There are two types. The most commonly known FRP situation has to do with the Google Account Sign in. This is the one where the device can somewhat be accessed but only goes as far as the Google sign in page and you're stuck there because you don't have the proper password to get past it and into the device to use it.

No, this is not that kind of FRP!

This one has to do with when someone roots and/or flashes a corrupt or bad file into their Android and overloads the binaries (the operating system) and you can get stuck at various places but cannot use the device, flash a custom Rom or the Official software into the device and therefore it's rendered useless for the time being. It does not let you get to the sign in page. It does not let you use Recovery. It only seems to bootloop then shut down or stay on or locked on that screen. It does not seem to let you use Odin3 to flash files to return it to normal. And you'll get a red letter notice at the top of the screen saying "Custom Binaries Blocked by FRP Lock.".

Is that discriptive enough to answer your question?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Bass3rr:
Thanks for your reply Casper.

I was experiencing the second type (red letter notice).

After an earlier failed attempt and reading on this forum, I was aware of the requirement to delete the Google account prior to flashing. After ODIN flashing TWRP, custom Rom and no verity, i used my own Google account for testing . Everything seemed to work just fine. After I deleted my own Google account and installed my daughter's, I got the FRP lock upon the next reboot.

Am I still doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Hello, i have a T-585 in my hands, that has no recovery, no nothing. The only way i can boot up device is in Download mode, and in a blank blue screen ( i guess it is the same download mode, but without any text on screen, the background color is the same though). The problem is, i can't flash any rom on it, even stock rom, i get an error everytime. Newest rom won't flash through Odin (tried different versions), gives me error, if i try older rom, i get an error, it seems i need binary 6 to flash something. It has a FRP lock too. Don't really know what to do. If anyone has any ideas how to fix this, please help. I have been searching an trying to fix this 5 nights in a row, but no luck and no success.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
Re-emrgence

With the exception of the words written in red letters it sounds like you may have come to the right place. Well let's find out if you're somehow in Binary FRP Lock. Did you recently try to flash in a cutom ROM or Root firmware? As far as I'm aware the T580 and the T585 can use the same files but it's been a while and I'd have to check. Here's what it sounds like you're dealing with. Are you being redirected to a blue screen with nothing on it? Now that's odd because on mine I tried to go to Recovery Mode and got redirected to the Download mode screen which is light blue, however, mine had the words "Custom Binaries Blocked by FRP Lock" You not having it there is a first that I've heard. But so far I've noticed 5 or 6 different versions of this and only half have managed to correct the matter. Let's see. First your going to need the Odin3.13B Patched Downlader and let me see if I can find the files you may need, or at least lead you to them.

Odin3.13.1B,

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YCiv190uj7Cu_Yu_2onmYe3kbaDduhbl

The current firmware for the T585 should be,

Build No. T585XXU6CSK1

So yes this would indicate your device is running the U6 Binaries. Here's a combination file you should be able to use.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cpWRqDUQZmUhE5xoKuyc4BptCWT7X9DQ/view

And then flash in the official stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Hello, i've been away for a few days, thank you for the reply, i'll try to use files that You put out tomorow, and give You an update. If this works, You're a magician. :)

I didn't try to Root or flash custom rom on this tablet. A friend gave it to me because it had a cracked screen, so i could change it. Also it was left for sometime and wasn't used, so was completely discharged. I changed the screen and charged it, but it wouldn't boot up, so i thought it maybe had failed to update or something, tried to flash a Stock rom, but it wouldn't flash through Odin. Older ones give the binary error so i need a U6, tried different of those, but still no luck. At the end I even thought maybe that there may be some physical damage ( friends kid steped on it, that's how the screen got cracked), but doesn't look like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
I have a minor problem downloading frp unlock. Google doesn't let me download it. Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time. I guess i have to wait some time....

Ok, so i managed to download the zip file from GDrive, but there is a password on the archive. I can't extract files from the archive, it has a password.

Found the password under some Youtube video. Tried to flash the Combination with Odin, it failed. Here's the log from Odin.

Tried adding a PIT file while flashing too, but i had the same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
Are you certain that the firmware you are trying to flash is for your specific model number?

When you flash via Odin, disable the "re-partition" option in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Yes, i'm certain. What other firmware could I flash on sm-t585? The only other firmware i could think of flashing would be for t580, but i didn't try to do that. I tried older version roms for t585, but i got an error on tablet screen because of binary 6.

So the only rom i can try to flash is the newest with U6, at least i don't get an error on tablet screen, but Odin still fails.

When I flash i have enabled only auto reboot and F.reset time. Re-partition option is disabled.

I'm kind of lost at this point...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
When you flash the U6 firmware and it fails, can you tell me if it gives you any specific errors ?

Can you tell me at which step in the flashing process it fails?

Have you tried using different versions of Odin?

Have you tried using a different PC?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
I get the Set PIT file error like the one i posted. If i try using older version of Odin, if i remember correctly 3.12.7, then it Passes, but nothing really happens. Tried using my laptop and my work computer. I get the same result. I added an image.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
I haven't had a perfect fix-all with this subject but this particular version dropped out of nowhere on me so I went exploring on how to fix it. It's odd (your situation) because your the first I've heard that seems to qualify for being Binary locked but don't see the notification. Shall we test? You say you can't get to recovery but only download mode but a blank screen? Come to think of it this reminds me of something like a lost recovery or IOS. Lemmie do some checking and I should get back in a day or two. No it doesn't seem like you're actually in binary lock. It's something else.

I noticed you're using the Z3X Samsung tool, that works quite differently than Odin3. Id suggest going to GSM Dvelopers and asking somone that knows how to use it. It seems like the file stalled somehow on you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
I tried both Odin and Z3X Samsung tool, but both failed. I can get in to dolwnload mode if i press power + vol- + home (looks like standart download mode, with text and everything) and if i just try to turn it on it starts in to blank screen with background color like in download mode, no text or notifications (idk, i guess download mode too?)

I added a picture when tablet is in Download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
The picture indicates you are not in Binary lock. That would have been plainly displayed at the top. I can't see anything wrong from what I see and you do in fact have an Official status on your binaries but your system says custom. It's common to lose recovery for these models. It's seems that a lot of them refuse the instalation of TWRP and when it's turned off or reset it tries to revert back to stock but for some reason ends up inaccessable. Check to see if you can connect both your PC and the device with Odin3 and can get the blue COM light to come on. I would suggest looking for the stock recovery. It may need to be replaced. I've noticed that sometimes Odin will fail to initialize with bad or unacceptable files but not always some people still manage to flash in the wrong firmware.

So don't be discouraged if a file or ROM you tried didn't take.

Hard to pin down what's actually going on at the moment. This could take a week or more.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
I'm thinking system status: custom is causing the issue, repairing the system.img/partition may solve this error and allow the entire firmware to flash.

Try extracting the firmware until you get to the system.img and the stock recovery.img, make a copy of them both then convert the copy of system.img and recovery.img into .tar format, I would try making each of them individually into .tar and a copy that is both of them in a single .tar. Then try flashing the system.img.tar via then reboot into download mode again and flash the stock recovery.img.tar file via Odin then try booting into recovery to factory reset the device then reboot into download mode again and try flashing the whole firmware again.

You can try various versions of the standard unmodified Odin software or you can try the modified version of Odin that is available here at XDA or you can try Comsy's Odin. You can find the different versions easily with a Google search.

Or, you can try using Z3X to flash the extracted system.img and recovery.img.

Also, be certain that the firmware you are flashing is a binary 6 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Ok, i'll try to flash these files individually and see how that goes. Thank you for bringing some light at the end of the tunel. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Hello! Tried flashing through Odin system.img and recovery.img individually convertednin .tar and both in one .tar, Odin still fails. I added pictures with all the results.

Tried doing the same with Z3X Samsung Tool, didn't work either. It seems this tablet doesn't take anything at all.

Tried different PC's, different usb wires, different Odin versions... As strange as it seems, I have flashed other Samsung devices in the past succesfully, but never had such trouble, like with this tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
Try using the modified version of Odin that can be found here at XDA. Or, try the Cosmy's version of Odin. You should be able to find them with a Google search. Also, try older versions of Odin, a version of Odin that was first available around the same time as when your device was first released in the public market, something like Odin 3.09.

Another option is to try the Samsung Kies software or some older versions of Samsung's Smart Switch software for PC. These tools have emergency recovery processes that have been known to work. Samsung Kies is for older Samsung devices and Smatt switch is used on the more modern Sansung devices.

Also, there is an app/tool available somewhere here at XDA that automates the process of modifying .img files into an Odin flashable .tar files for Samsung devices. I don't think files converted into .tar format via the standard method of .tar file compression are flashable via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
I tried Odin 3.12. it shows that flashed succesfully, but nothing happened. So i didn't try older versions than this one. I'll give it a go and give an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
Try using the official firmware, the 4file version. If Odin3 is working for you in any way that you say, you've somehow made it to the second point. The first one is unlocking the device. The second is flashing in the correct firmware, it won't accept anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Tried Comsy's Odin that one failed and 3.09. version and some other older ones start the flashing process and it gets stuck at NAND Write start and nothing happens it can stay like that forever...

Samsung Kies doesn't support my device, tried Smart Switch but that doesn't recognise this device. But I don't think it would work even if it was recognised, because Emergency recovery asks for somekind of a code to recover.

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Tried but older versions of Odin just get stuck in the process. The only one that kind of flashed was 3.12.7. but nothing happened. I read somewhere in this forum and 4pda that this version doesn't work very well, many users had problems with it. It kind of shows that flashing is done, but in the reality nothing flashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
Try 3.09 again but this time, when it stalls at NAND write, just let it sit there for an hour or maybe even 2 hours or so, sometimes, it completes the flash after hanging there a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Casper Young:
Droidriven, those methods dont work. This is not an issue where the img needs to be modified and flashed in. The method is somewhat difficult because it's hard to determine what state the device is in. One either needs to flash in u? BInary unlock, the repair or combination files before Odin will let you flash in the current firmware. This method varies everytime I try to deal with it. I have three T580s and each one had a different variation. One sits in a box and I haven't fixed it yet. This is why I identified 4 different versions and why I mentioned for some I could not yet find an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
Well then, find a combination firmware that has the same binary or newer binary as the firmware that is currently installed.

I never had this much issue flashing stock via Odin on devices as old as your tablets. Not even after a completely wrong firmware was flashed on them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] mezablusa:
Yes, it is as You say, hard to understand in what state the tablet is in. This is the first time that i have such problems. Had different android phones, Samsung devices too, that i had flashed, and it was not that hard to do. Very strange situation.

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

I already tried using Combi file, Odin didn't flash it too. I guess this is something different and there is no standart solution for this tablet that works 100%, as for all other devices.
