My S7 on e/os/ does not work anymore.
I tried to install e/os/ on a refurbished S8 SM-G950F, but I can’t manage to do it, iin download mode i get the error message “only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (recovery)”, I looked up on your websites and others, tried a bunch of stuff, still can’t make it work, can you please help me ?
Sure, there you are
I followed different suggested solutions regarding the RMM and KG Status (try to trick the phone into believing it’s been more than 7 days, the corsicanu bypass zip, etc…), it did not work. I can activate the OEM toggle with no issue but I can’t install non official FW.
how do I flash it ? with heimdall in download mode or adb with the android recovery mode ?
I don’t have Odin (I did not find how to install it on mac), but I have heimdall, SDK platform tools, adb enabled
it is long and fastidious using Heimdall but doable with assiduity.
i am affraid Odin4Linux can’t be installed on a machine running macOS,
don’t you have a partition running Linux or Windows ?
for installing Samsung Stock OS (incuding original Samsung Firmware) my advice is generally to use Odin3 on a friend’s or a neighbor’s Windows PC…
Please can confirm that the SIM card was used to make more than 5 minutes of calls already with this phone and that the SIM was installed for the full 7 days.
Regarding the first link, I don’t see why it is still locked on prenormal
Regarding imported device, apparently this phone was made in Finland (7th and 8th digits of the IMEI are 10 which from what I read means Finland as country of origin), I live in France, it should work, no ?
It is not carrier locked, how do I check region lock ?
It is difficult for me to tell … but if originally sold out of EC it is possible that the phone is not suitable, idk if there is any sort of economic, political or other barrier.
Do you have any clues ? Did you use the phone in Finland, was it imported / sold to you recently ? Is there any possibility it was refurbished in Finland or France ?
You might consider returning the phone on the grounds that is does not meet your requirements / expectations. In my view a phone still showing Prenormal on the screen is not normal would be my argument to the seller.
