Gadget Grip Max No case on my S8+, but I always put a Gadget Grip Max on the back. Once there you will always have traction where ever it is, your hand, lap, car.. You can even stick it to glass and it stays.. http://www.corporatebrandaid.com/products/products/Gadget-Grips-Max.html

Team battery bar would be a great app if it worked. Whatever the code does to register as a service doesn't work anymore and it's not going to stay running very long. I paid for the pro version.. I bet the current owner doesn't even have the source code.

I'm about to go about rooting now.. I do have a month old TWRP of Sick as Hell on a OTG stick.. so I'm going to see if I can root, install TWRP, and get that back.. If so, I can go to any other ROM from there plus get 99% of my data back

The reason I converted them was because Odin wouldn't find the files.. I tried just running them by typing a *.img but it didn't work. I'll go read about smart switch.. I"m learning stuff here Update,: On a hunch I went back and ran the firmware install again, but just in it's original format...

Ok, potentially some progress.. I flashed all the .bin files . Then I converted all the img files to tar.md5 and flashed those including the recovery and system.img. I rebooted the phone into download each time. Afterwards I rebooted and it did a system update icon for a bite and then the...

Advice? I'm afraid I'm thrashing around at this point. I have the firmware for 5.1.1 installed. It boots to a tmobile logo and stops. I can get into the default recovery. I can't flash twrp.. I still can't get my files mounted via USB.. Perhaps I need to do a wipe data / factory reset? Also...

Progress! I was able to install the 5.1.1 firmware and it reboots, has tmobile's (or samsung's) recovery and boots to a TMOBILE logo and stops. Thinking it is not rooted anymore and Perhaps I should try to re-root.. I did try to install twrp and it failed.. Twrp 2.8.7.1 alpha.. and also the...

SO far I have the ADB and Fastboot installed (found the link on XDA). However, when I plug my phone in and issue adb devices or fastboot device it does not show. I did also hook up a note II which is my older phone. It used to be rooted and had ROMs installed but I snafued it up one day and...

I'm working on it now! :) Give you guys a summary of what happened as I as check off your suggestions..

Ahhh that makes sense.. never heard of the FRP feature until now though.. oh well.. So far I've tried flashing TWRP (failed) and tried flashing a stock rom.. (failed).. I was using Odin 3.10.6 I'll keep at it..

There are guides to rooting the note 5 in this forum.. just have to look for them.

More Info I can get it into download mode.. just not into recovery. The only thing I can think I did was I changed my password about 4 days ago to google. I don't have any screen security setup so that is not a factor. Last night we were trying to figure out how to push Gear VR to a tv so...

True Dat! The other examples I read said the same thing.. at this point I'm going to try to find a stock and odin it and root again and see if I even get my files back.. Unless someone has a better idea?

I've been running the latest Darthstalker rom on my T-mobile Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920T). After midnight New Years.. I powered the phone off and then later powered it on and I get this message Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock. I can't mount anything via my WIndows laptop and I can't get into...

Have you tried going back to stock com and then reset from within the rom ? Worked for me once after I did an at from flash on my Sprint phone
