[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] LazorBlind:
Unlocking is a per device basis, it seems.

Every time you get a new device from them, that device has to be on their network for a specific amount of time before they allow you to take it over to a new carrier if you wanted to.

This insures that you have to use their service, and therefore pay them, for at least another 6 months. It prevents people from getting good phones for cheap or maybe free then jumping ship to a different carrier before they can at least recoup whatever they lost on the phone. Same way with contract carriers you can get phones at a major discount if you agree to be locked into a long term contract. (Eg. my first smartphone retailed for $600 back in 2011, but the family member that paid my bill at the time only spent $200 after rebate by agreeing to have my line on a 2 year contract)

By allowing a replacement phone to be unlocked right off bat that means someone considering switching carriers can intentionally break their device, get it replaced on insurance, then jump to a different carrier with a brand new device and leave the old carrier eating the cost of the replacement.

They are probably within their right to do so, as it probably is in the fine print of their Unlocking Policy, or written in hard to understand yet still valid legalese.

It's kind of sucky, but it's understandable why when so many people are looking for ways to get one over and exploit loopholes and stuff.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] poog:
There is another N10 thread here where someone did this to have their phone unlocked BEFORE the 180 days........ file an FCC complaint online that they are being unfair with their unlock policy. In your case OP, it even makes more sense to do this. Once you file the complaint stating your problem, the FCC contacts Metro, and Metro contacts you. Then you tell them they are being unfair and you want that device unlocked. No guarantees but it is worth a try. Apparently FCC complaints are never ignored by carrier.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] ninjasinabag:
Device unlocking is based on IMEI.

If you got a new phone for any reason, it's a new IMEI which means a whole new deal.

Like poog said, take it to the fcc.

Reboot to download mode and flash stock it can be flashed with OEM LOCK. (you can use this to get your rom https://samfirmtool.com/)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
So, the firmware is installed, with odin, but now, the phone start all the time in recovery mode... I tried everything, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, nothing change... After reboot, I’ve this message: can’t load android system.... with 3 options, try again, facture data reset, and view recovery logs.... but nothing works....
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Victor_cris:
Wipe factory reset bc the stock room that you download has data files corrupted Wipe data and wait.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Ok, done... these are the screens after the Wipe data
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Victor_cris:
On Odin options select nand erase flash stock again and make sure to flash all the files bc something is bad.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Victor_cris:
Also make sure you have flshed latest version of rom bc it shows older build code
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Nope... doesn’t work... the problem is always the same...

I don’t know if it is the last firmware version, I took it with samfirm
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Victor_cris:
did you changed a motherboard screen or battery ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
No....
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Hi, I’ve flashed with an other stock, it start very well, but loop on the samsung logo....

And I can’t do anything
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Hi, on which Samsung logo is the phone looping? "Samsung Galaxy A50, powered by Android" or "Samsung"

I had a similar problem with my phone rebooting to recovery mode, saying Can't load Android System after I restored it with Odin, but was able to fix it by just a factory reset.

My phone is Bulgarian (BGL) - You can try flashing my firmware for the Bulgarian variant of the A50 from SamMobile, also in Odin, select the following files -

BL - BL_XXXXXXXX

AP - AP_XXXXXXX

CP - CP_XXXXXXX

CSC - HOME_CSC_XXXXXXX

For Userdata, don't select anything

Here's a link to the Bulgarian firmware on SamMobile - https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505FN/BGL/download/A505FNXXS9CVA3/1606986/ - It may take a while to download, because SamMobile limits the download speed to 300 KBps
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Hi, it’s a samsung a50 powered by android... but now, I can’t do anything, it doesn’t answer at any command
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Oh, this is pretty bad, I though it was on the Samsung logo. Well in that case you can wait until the battery is fully drained, then try to boot into Download Mode by holding Vol- and Vol+ and plugging in the USB-C cable to the computer with Odin.

You can also try by holding Power + Vol-, while the charger is plugged in, then if the charging screen appears, remove the cable and try the above method to enter download mode. If the Samsung A50 Powered by Android logo appears, try again holding Power + Vol- and when the screen is black, quickly hold Vol- and Vol+ and plug-in the charger.

What did you do in TWRP, that caused this mess which even Odin has troubles fixing :D
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
It start and switch on the samsung logo for 2 or 3 minutes, then stop and restart, switch on the samsung logo, etc....
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Hmmm... So it's basically bootlooping, you can try the methods in my previous reply, if the second method doesn't work, you can just wait until the battery is drained and the phone shuts down, then hold Vol- and Vol+ and plug-in the USB-C cable. If the phone doesn't react to these methods, you can take it to a repair center, since most likely the motherboard or storage chip is broken or faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Ok, now he is in the download mode.... What do I do now?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
You need to download the firmware - https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a50/firmware/SM-A505FN/BGL/download/A505FNXXS9CVA3/1606986/ , this will take a while, so the phone will need to stay in Download mode
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
After the file has downloaded, connect the phone to the computer and open Odin, select the files as following -

BL - BL_XXXXXXXX

AP - AP_XXXXXXX

CP - CP_XXXXXXX

CSC - HOME_CSC_XXXXXXX

For Userdata, don't select anything

Then click Start and hope for the best!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
This is a view of what I get after restart by using vol + and vol -
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Great, that's what should appear when in download mode. Do you have Odin on your computer? The phone will need to be reflashed in order to be able to boot up. You can download the firmware from the link in my previous post, then select the files as I described, select start and wait. If after the flash, the recovery screen appears, just do a factory reset in the menu and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
I’ve others firmwares, shouldn’t they work? I also see that the oem is locked.... is it not a problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Have you tried those firmwares? If you've tried them before and they don't work, there's no point in doing it again. It's not a problem that the OEM is locked, since we're flasing an official Samsung firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
I’ve two of them who worked with odin --> result: pass
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Ok, but did the phone boot with them? It's best to download the ROM in the link I sent you and flash that, since I've flashed the exact same one on my phone, which had a similar problem and it worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Ok, I try the rom you send to me, and cross my fingers 😊
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
I'm crossing fingers too :) Let the phone stay in Download mode, since it's pretty unstable right now and it's best if it stays in Download mode, so it doesn't bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
The download may take 3/4 hours, so I'll come back in 4/5 hours and check how things are going :D
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Download ended, I transfer the files in odin
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Great! I'll be waiting for the results :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
This is the result.....
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Select "Factory Data Reset"
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
Already done....
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Evgeni124:
Oh.. What did you do in TWRP, that blocked the phone? You can try restoring again with Odin and selecting "Nand Erase" in the options menu, it probably won't do much, but it's worth trying..
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
What is twrp??
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Phil58:
It restart again like before.... loop....

You said in the first post, that this problem was caused by a bad manipulation in TWRP. Can you explain what were you doing before this message started showing up? The motherboard may need to be replaced...

My A50 was also showing this screen after being flashed with Odin, but selecting "Factory Data Reset" fixed it.

When I try to open the pushTAN app of my bank, I get a security notice: blah blah ROOT something something.

My phone is the OnePlus Nord and I'm using the lastest magisk version with zygisk and the SafetyNet Fix from kdrag0n enabled. If I check the SafetyNet Attestation with various apps, I pass both "Basic integrity" and "CTS profile match", but for some reason my banking app still doesn't work.

Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] shivadow:
Banks aren't soft. I don't think you'll find a way around it and if you do it won't last for long. The banks have a responsibility to keep things secure so see it as a good thing that they're protecting YOU from fraud. Root is insecure and blocked by banking apps for a very good reason.

Sorry but that's just the truth of it.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Take note that only 1 line of program code is needed to detect whether Android got persistently rooted or not. And such a line of code can get implemented in every app.
[General Questions and Answers] rseiler:
@m0.ke What I'm finding surprising -- correct me if I'm wrong -- is that if you weren't rooted, the app would work despite the other factors, like being unlocked. In an unrooted state here, at least, but on LineageOS so unlocked, which is something else that some apps don't like), I don't get a security notice when running it (of course I can't actually try logging in).

So, the irony may be that Magisk created a problem that it's designed to get around just by virtue of the root.

I'm beginning to wonder at this point just what percentage of problem apps actually object to a phone being unlocked (and/or being on a 3rd-party ROM like LineageOS) compared to that AND being rooted. So far, and I'm trying all that I can think of, including several banking apps and Google Pay (update: I did later see the issue with this one: it happens when trying to enable contactless), I haven't found one that has given me a problem. I don't quite know why, but it's making me much less inclined to bother with Magisk, something that I was positive that I would need after going to LineageOS.
[General Questions and Answers] SmooveG:
Have you also hidden: Magisk root, Zygisk module and the Magisk app itself by renaming?

Nowadays banking apps also validate for this.

I never done this ran payload dumper. Im trying to follow this

payload_dumper's Introduction​

payload dumper​

Script tested on Yandex Amber OTA's (full and incremental) under Linux(but may works on Windows too)

System requirement​

Python3, pip

google protobuf for python pip install protobuf

Guide​

Make you sure you have Python 3.6 installed.

Download payload_dumper.py and update_metadata_pb2.py

Extract your OTA zip and place payload.bin in the same folder as these files.

Open PowerShell, Command Prompt, or Terminal depending on your OS.

Enter the following command: python -m pip install protobuf

Full OTA​

When that’s finished, enter this command: python payload_dumper.py payload.bin

This will start to extract the images within the payload.bin file to the output folder you are in.

Incremental OTA​

Copy original images (from full OTA or dumped from devices) to old folder (with part name + .img, ex: boot.img, system.img)

run python payload_dumper.py --diff payload.bin

file extracted to the output folder you are in.
