Trouble installing stock firmware on samsung galaxy a5 2017 sm-a520f

[julianmunozvaras]

I was trying to root my samsung galaxy a5 2017 with TWRP and I accidentally deleted system data. Then, I tried rebooting the phone and it got stuck in a bootloop. To fix this problem I tried flashing stock 8.0 firmware from sammobile via odin and I got this error:
Sw rev. Check fail. Device: 6, binary 5. I think that this means I have to flash the latest stock firmware but there isn't a newer one.
After that, I tried to use my phone by flashing a custom rom (Lineage 15.1) and I discovered that I have no imei,no baseband and no ip adress. I have installed many custom roms but the issue is still there. I am trying to get my phone to work with stock firmware and fix the IMEI issue but odin wont let me flash because of that error. I would appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks.

Flash a firmware version that contains S6 or U6 in the middle, it won't work with U5/S5! Not the Samsung phone S5 or S6, but rather, the firmware version.

For cellular, change the modem firmware, or backup and wipe /data/. /data/data/?.

Unless the efs was wiped (probably not if the baseband version isn't there, load a backup then, only if the efs was wiped don't restore it otherwise, and it must not be a backup created with an older twrp, view the recovery log in the backup folder)

You aren't flashing the current version of software.

Well, I don't know what else could be wrong.

Listen to me, it happened to me 2 days ago, and I came to the conclusion that I was not flash the latest firmware. You need to flash the same firmware with the same bootloader or more recent, the error you receive is because you are flashing an older version of bootloader. Do one thing, type the code *#1234# on the phone keypad
mark the code that gives you on 'AP and look it on Sammobile at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a5/SM-A520F/ITV/ select your language and look for the firmware with your own code . You will see that odin flash it.

Samsung A520F Custom Binary Error

Hello please I have been trying to reload my Samsung A520F firmware for a couple of weeks

It all started with the phone trying to update (over WIFI) and somewhere along the line files must have gotten corrupted

This led to the phone constantly restart and shutting down applications

I decided to just download the firmware and use Odin to reload. This, unfortunately, didn't go so well as now the phone isn't starting up anymore but can still get to download mode.

PDA firmware is A520FXXUACSE6
Region is EUR
Network is OPEN

every time I use this firmware I get the error
" Custom binary (BOOT) Blocked by FRP Lock

Please note currently at the moment phone refuses to boot up I read about removing OEM lock and don't know if this is the problem.

Please could you help out

Obviously you are frp locked. But I didn't think that blocked from flashing official.
