I must say thanks to you. I tried many times. AND i succeeded at last.
I hope someone can point out why I'm struggling with this.
I have added my Samsung account the phone and when I activate the "Remote Controls" slider it shows as active. When I go out of the screen and go back in again it has deactivated again. I've tried removing and adding my Samsung account but it still won't stay active. I've also enabled Sim Change Alert per some suggestion on another forum but this also does not fix the problem.
My phone is rooted using the PingPong tool can this maybe be affecting the process?
May be this is because of root. I also had the same problem when my phone was rooted. When I unrooted and went back to stock firmware using smart switch it started to work again.

I am quite frustrated with MM at this point. My wife's phone Sprint S6 had Lollipop on it, and she set up fingerprint unlock. It did not ask for a pin and there was no backup pin/password set up on the phone. The new MM update rolls around and the policy has changed so that it now requires a pin for the fingerprint unlock and it will not use fingerprint authentication after a reboot or 24 hours of not being used. Well her phone went straight to asking for a pin without one ever being set up and refuses to unlock with a fingerprint. Sprint sent us another phone and I have set it up, but so far the old phone is on and I can do anything you can do with a locked phone on the main screen, take pictures or screenshots, open and close the top menu, but I can't sign in to make any changes. The wifi is on, and it connects to my network. I signed into Android Device Manager and can get it to ring, attempt to reset the lock code which does put up another lock screen but it will not let me unlock the phone. Just keeps going back to the pin. She didn't have a Samsung account so I can't use the unlock on the Samsung page. Took it to a Sprint service center and they couldn't do squat of course. It was another center that told me to go to that one for help. Guess that was just a couple hours drive time wasted.
I now have a spreadsheet of pins I have attempted and it's an hour between attempts but I am getting nowhere fast, and feel like I am wasting time. Since the bootloader is locked I can't get Odin to update it to TWRP, and I have downloaded 5.1.1 to try and push it back but that too is locked out when I try Odin. I logged into the bootloader and have tried to Apply Update from ADB, but I can't seem to find an OTA version of 5.1.1 for Sprint SM-G920P. I can find the .tar.md5 version bit Odin will not let me put it on, I am assuming because it isn't letting me go backward.
I did manage to get all of my contacts off the phone because we still hadn't deleted the bluetooth connection to our car, and it pulls all of the contacts to the car when you connect a phone. So I let it connect to the car, pulled the contacts and then used my phone to video as I scrolled through the contacts and expanded the ones that were truncated on the screen.
The only thing I want now would be some of the pictures, and I can't get to those since there's no micro SD card on an S6. So at this point I don't know if this is just a rant or if someone knows if there is anything I can possibly Update through ADB to help me get into my phone? I have a few more days before I have to send it back to Sprint as they called and wanted it already, but I told them they needed to give me more time since someone (Sprint, Google, or Samsung) let this particular scenario slip by before they pushed this update. Having the phone just sitting here beeping with updates and updating software all the while not letting me in is like it's just screwing with me. If it would just allow the fingerprint to unlock this would be done. Anyone have any ideas?

So you have tried the sprint stock Marshmallow Odin tar and it's not working ? AND BY YOU CONNECTING YOUR PHONE TO THE PC I'M GUESSING YOU CAN'T SEE THE PICS BECAUSE OF THE NEW MARSHMALLOW PERMISSIONS U HAVE TO ALLOW IT FIRST CAN'T JUST CONNECT IT LIKE BEFORE AND THE STUFF POPS UP ?

Yes. The file I tried to upload was the stock 5.1.1 (1648503226 Apr 27 18:36 G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_SPR.zip wrong file this is the one I tried with Odin - 3662786727 Jun 12 2015 G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_G920PVPU2BOF7_HOME.tar.md5 ) for the G920P. The phone has always been stock. I get an error with if I recall LRP and it shows the version numbers and will not allow the update to load. Odin fails pretty quickly. If I try and upload the TWRP bootloader it will show it uploading and then fails the write as the bootloader lock is on.
Correct, I can't see the pics, and didn't have USB debugging turned on either, otherwise there was a chance that I could have used adb to do a backup. It was my wifes phone so I didn't mess with it. In hindsight I guess I should have, and will definitely be correcting this on the replacement.
Try the sprint 6.0.1 tar

It currently has 6.0.1 on it, and I don't think reloading the same version will help any, since it's the policy of the new MM update to require a pin on a restart, which is what happened here. When the new phone came in it still had 5.1.1 on it, and I went through and verified that setting up fingerprint authentication didn't require a pin. I did turn it back off so we wouldn't get bit by the same issue twice. I also took a screenshot of the 6.0.1 MM update where it mentions the new fingerprint rules. Seems to me they forgot about people who might have set up fingerprint verification and not had a required pin. I have tried over 30 different pins that we can think of, including the last 4 of the phone number, etc. No luck and I am just about to give up.

I will go read that right now. I am almost ready to go to the bootloader and "Wipe Cache Partition" also to see if that will maybe get it to where it let's me attempt to get back in using the gmail account.
Which leads me to a side rant. The gmail account on the phone was set to sync everything and I figured when I logged into the new phone it would all (at least contacts and calendar entries) just re-sync and download. Nope. Nothing. So I entered new contacts into the new phone, made sure sync was set up, and logged into google with the account and nothing had synced up. I had to tell it to sync manually on the PC before it pulled anything from the phone. Make sure and check your google account folks. Make sure it's actually syncing your data and not just saying it is.
Off to read the thread and see how it goes. I will report back.
Yea I noticed that with Google and the syncing learned that a few years back lol but that thread should be able to help and once u put a custom rom u should be good to go

It didn't work. I get "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock. And I can't get in to turn on the OEM Unlock. I guess my next step will be deleting the cache from the bootloader and see if that resets something to let me re-try via the google account. I am not going to do the factory reset until I am putting it back in the box, but at this point I don't have much to lose.
But a factory reset would not delete your pics and stuff that might be what u need because that's a bug
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
I did not know it would keep the data. When I go to the bootloader there is the option "Wipe data/Factory reset". So I just assumed that was the nuke option. Or do I need to google or search here for factory reset? I am also downloading the 6.0.1 stock firmware to attempt to see if it will upload through Odin. This phone gets sent back in a few days so I can't really screw it up and I am not worried about tripping Knox or anything like that. So it's about another 5 hours to dl, as I am on a sloooow connection. Might read up on the factory reset and hit the hay. It's 1:30AM here and I can pick this up tomorrow. Appreciate all of the help and sticking with me.

Let me know how those 2 methods work out for u mate
Am saving the factory reset for a last resort as from what I read it wipes everything and since the S6 has no card to remove... The download didn't complete so I just restarted. Couple of hours to go.
I got the MM update to successfully upload, but as I figured I am in the same position. I even tried swapping out the recovery.img with another from a rooted firmware, but the FRP lock kept it from loading. So now it's just back to trying pin numbers. And I am about up to about the 40th one since I started logging them. I am sure I have duplicated some of the ones we tried earlier, but since there was nothing set initially I am really just wasting my time I guess. So I will keep an eye here and maybe by the end of the week just wipe the device and put it in the mail back to Sprint. Again, thanks for the help.
Officially gave up on it tonight. Sprint is calling and threatening that if we don't send the phone back they will charge us the full amount so times up. Tried well over 40 possible pins, tried flashing a different firmware, tried flashing twrp, even tried cobbling together a firmware package with twrp stuck inside. No dice. You win Samsung/Google/Sprint.
So beware folks, if you are running Lollipop and using fingerprint authentication and don't have a pin set, switch to another type of unlock before it updates to Marshmallow. Or else you could be stuck in the same predicament as I was. I realize it's a possibly rare combo of settings, but I saw someone in the Sprint repair center the same time I was in there with the same problem.
I had tried to unroot using superSU unroot option but it still keep a trace that the device was rooted when I tried to install an app which prompt as phone was rooted.
I tried to check using rootchecker and there is the trace on Stage 2 but I had uninstall SuperSU using superSU build in uninstall features.
How do I remove the trace detected by rootchecker ?
Have you wiped cache from recovery?

May end up having to backup everything and do factory data reset.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530A using XDA-Developers mobile app
Now I had unrooted it and most of the apps data can't be backup. I can't do factory reset since there are a lot of files needed to backup.
Right on the picture , what is the best method without factory reset to remove the trace on stage 2 ?
I am not getting a reply here , would be helpful if someone would give a few hints of experience ?
Hi all,
Came across this in my travels
Hopefully it is legit.

Ok to answer my own question. I have the SM-935t and I flashed the one for 935p and it would not boot was stuck on the tmobile screen then it would reboot again. Held down the power vol up and home for what seemed like forever and got it into recovery where i did a factory wipe and wiped cache. And it booted through the phone setup and now is working. Now to discover what I can do.

The guy who released the file suggested reflashing the stock firmware if you run into any issues and flashing the tar file again. Seems the phone needs to be stock setup (nothing stock disabled) prior to flashing this file.

I think a good step in the right direction would be to pull the aboot from the phone. Once you have that, a talented developer might be able to reverse it.

That's not exactly how it works, his aboot wasn't modified in the process. He simply flashed a signed kernel created for internal use that gives you slightly more control over the system.

If we have adb root with this method, why could we not dump the aboot? Once we have that if Sig verification could be bypassed, then a bootloader could be loaded. The key is finding an exploit in the aboot, if one exists. But without a dump, there is no way of knowing. Without the Sig verification we could flash the unlocked Qualcomm bootloader from Hong Kong or whatever. Just brainstorming. I am sure someone has already tried and failed at this, but if not... why not give it a shot?
