Question

Why is my phone is stucked in bootloop?

Mar 24, 2016 4:29AM PDT

Awhile ago, I tried to root my samsung galaxy a8 ( SM-A800I) but then it rebooted and there's an error message on the top left corner of the screen saying " Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" "Custom Binary is blocked by FRP lock" i can't open my device, i have also tried to wipe data and wipe cache partition but still can't turn on the device.

Can somebody help me with this issue? I know there's so many people out there that experienced this problem on their unit.
By the way im from Philippines if you are wondering.

Maybe better ask the support forums for the specific root file you tried to insert.

you need to use a desktop pc to download Odin, then you need to locate the stock kernel tar file to flash.... check it out on youtube. its a very simple fix for that brick job!!!!
make sure you get the correct file for your model. good luck!
