Help Bricked Samsung Note 5

Hello,

Hope someone can help me out here. What happened to me is very simple and yet very complicated. I rooted my Samsung Note 5, everything went fine. Turned off USB debugging mode and OED lock and restarted the device.

Now I'm stuck on a bootloop with the message "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock". Tried using Kies 3 to restore it, wasn't recognized. Tried Smartwitch, same thing didn't recognize the device. Tried to enter in recovery mode not possible. I can still enter in download mode.

¿Any ideas?
 
Its GM-N920G from Mexico and carrier Telcel
I am VERY SLOWLY downloading the firmware from samsung-firmware.org hope that works..

Do you have any tips on how to install or just straight up put it in download mode and click start in Odin with the file?

Unzip the file and flash with Odin is basically it.
Sammobile is a good place for stock Samsung firmware. Free download is still slow, about 30 to 45 min and never had a problem with their firmware.

I am just curious of why I get on the top corner in red letter when I turn on the phone "kernel is not seandroid enforcing " but it's working fine.
 
The kernel message at boot may be annoying, but shouldn't affect anything.
Flashing stock firmware, I wouldn't think you should get it. Only on custom.
 
Yes it is the same one and the message is kind of annyoing but atleast it's working. Thanks a lot for the help. For some reason the rooting was inbane since I couldn't install Xpose v86, tried 3 times and ended up in the bootloop every single time. Luckily I made a backup with TWRP beforehand.
 
Not really sure what you mean, I think I should just reset it with the firmware you linked from Sammobile, should it be done with Odin or how? Tried it with the AP button in Odin but didn't work.
 
Seemed to work now, was doing something wrong. Reseted it from the Sammobile stock and the red message erased. Hope now it won't keep restarting.
 
There is a Xposed un-installer zip that I think you are supposed to flash to get rid of Xposed the proper way. Not sure if restoring a backup that doesn't contain Xposed will completely remove all from the system.
To be 100% stock, I would reflash the stock firmware again then root and install TWRP.

A Warning:

DO NOT install Xposed on TouchWiz. EVER. Bricking is inevitable. you'll need to use Odin to flash the ROM, but I suggest you put the Xposed uninstaller in the PDA section instead. That will disable the binaries Xposed put in Xbin.

That way, you might not have to do a factory reset. Please do not install Xposed atop any TouchWiz 6 installation and up.
