So today morning when I woke up, I turned my phone on, but It didn't turn on and was stuck on Logo screen with a Red text at above stating "custom binary blocked by frp lock". I'm using a Galaxy Note 5 (N920C) with Note 7 rom in it. I searched on the internet and tried flashing some firmware files with Odin but all failed with some error on download mode "SW. Rev check fail...". Now When I turn my phone on, it goes to screen with "an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function". I tried firmware initialization with Kies 3 and Smart Switch, but both failed, and same error as earlier on Download Mode. I think its the Bootloader problem i.e being locked and not letting me flash. also on Download mode, FRP lock=On, Which caused the problem on first hand. I cant boot into recovery aswell. Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
 
SW REV check fail usually happens when you try to downgrade Samsung devices.
With a locked bootloader and Knox, you have to flash what is currently on the device or a higher Android version.
The fact that Kies firmware Initialization failed is not a good sign because it selects the correct firmware based on your model number and Serial number.
FRP should let you flash stock and prompt you to enter your password before you can enter setup.
What was the stock firmware version that you tried to flash in Odin?

It was Android 6.0.1
 
Correct CSC code?
You stated that you were running a Note 7 rom, did you have TWRP recovery installed?
If so, did you try flashing TWRP again?

I have no idea how to look for CSC code. And, I did have TWRP but as I stated before, recovery won't open. And yes, I did try flashing again, gave me error of Some blockage by FRP. Right now I'm gonna try flashing the latest firmware available up to date, Let's see how it goes.
 
ok thanks the reason i ask is i have an issue in that the only way i can communicate with my phone with the mini usb is when the phone is in download mode. it is currently FRP with no access to modem or anything and i've tried just about everything i know and still cannot get in. how do i know what the latest and great firmware is? i thougjht i could flash that to see if it would open this is a S6 Sprint SM-G920P currently running G920PVPS4CPI3 firmware. what is the next one up?

thanks
