Hi all,
A friend with this device (the 4G one) got a forgotten lock screen somehow. I wanted to help bypass without losing data.
The lock screen only keeps asking for repeating entering the pin, it does not provide alternative such as google account (which we do have).
Please note the device is unrooted and I don't intend to root it or do any customization.
Help is appreciated.
Does your friend have a Samsung account? If so, you can use that to remotely unlock it from here: http://findmymobile.samsung.com/

I've always run ADB commands to rooted devices so I'm not sure if this will work but anyways here's a link that might be helpful.

Thank you but I already hard resetted and lost data as the owner chosen that. But I need to research this to a maximum as I found that my Nexus 4 with Lolipop also has this problem (and Nexus apparantly has no Samsung account ) . So if I get the lock screen forgotten, I'm in really big trouble! All expert advice is welcome please.

I am posting this as a last resort because unfortunately I have failed to find an unlock procedure for this mobile and I have searched thoroughly (to the best of my knowledge).
Does some one know how to remove the network lock from the Galaxy Trend Plus - S7580 - allowing my uncle to use another carrier mobile?
Or at least point me in the correct direction.
I have tried many alternatives between apps, softwares, adb but they all fail for this device.
I even installed a new ROM also to no avail.
If you can help me but require more information please let me know!

Buy a unlock code HERE or HERE or check out ebay for "S7580 unlock code"
You can't remove the lock by flashing another firmware.

The problem is the phone cost 10€ and to pay another 40€ (at best) to unlock is not feasible.
My samsung galaxy S & S3 were unlocked through adb. Is there not a similar procedure for this device?

S3 can be unlocked via root access. I Suppose the phone costs just 10€ (WTF?!) because it can't be unlocked easily...

It was with a discount not normal price
I am sure there has to be a similar procedure. I will keep trying!
Thank you for the replies

Nice news 8 years after..... funny
I got this htc device with frp lock. Well for samsung it not so big deal with, but with this one i just don't know how to bypass it. Can you suggest something? Are there any ways to get rid of it without s-off?
You can't rid of it ever unless you login with the userid/password on the phone, then remove the account from the phone, which will then remove the phone ID with the user email so it can then be setup with another google account.
Sounds like someone bought a lost/stolen phone.... :crying: if its the case, even if you bypass the FRP the IMEI# is probably blacklisted now.
im in the same exact situation!ive been searching and searching for a solution. I have s-on and it has already been factory reset and is at the beginning of the setup wizard. the otg method or possibly root junkys other method that doesn't require an otg cable and you unplug your modem/cut the internet connection? please if you can help me I'm willing to try all ideas. if I can somehow enable usb debugging wont that solve all issues because then I will be able to get deeper into the phone> ? sorry for lightweight taking your thread but I'm pretty sure we are in the exact same situation. oh and mine is for at&t if that makes a difference.
FRP mode only can bypass via ADB shell, Download Mode or Bootloader
I have an exlusive solution its working ,i try to make a video and show you how to bypass frp .

This thread is almost a year old, please check the dates and don't post on old threads with no context.
I have a Samsung J320V or J36V which is on the Verizon network. I really want to root it to unlock the full potential of my phone and I understand it will void my warranty but I'll go ahead and do it anyway. When I follow the steps to root I get stuck at the Odin part which I have to click start and the TWRP file installs on my phone. But it fails and I get this message on my phone "SECURE BOOT FAIL RECOVERY"! I've looked everywhere for a solution but none of them work and I also enabled USB DEBUGGING and OEM UNLOCK. I also couldn't disable REACTIVATION LOCK because the feature is not on my phone and I also removed my Google account and Samsung account. If anyone could help you would be the real MVP and I would really really really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! Even if you saw my post and can't help still thank you for taking time out of YOUR day and looking at my problem!

New to all of this. I used to jailbreak, unlock iPhones but am unfamiliar with this side of things. I was able to remove the passcode and Google account off the Pixel 6a which was on A13 and updated to the most recent patch (Let me know if you need instructions as that was not easy for me to find). But now I found that it is locked to AT&T which I do not have. Is it possible?
You may have bought a locked model by accident

I'd be interested to learn how you did this. I'm assuming a factory reset via recovery isn't enough?
If you have bought a carrier locked device, you may need to contact them to see if it can be unlocked

Not sure what's allowed on the forum so dm me and I'll send you the link I used. Factory reset is not enough.

Zounds very fishy in that case. Buying new is always safer. I got mine from bestbuy
I bought it for 4 days. And is not installed.

Without unlocking the bootloader, there is no chance to root.

not really no, unless it's running on a Mediatek SoC (I doubt it and can't be bothered to check)
or there's a serious vulnerability overlooked by the Android devs in both Samsung and Google, you're out of luck
unless of course there's an exploit in the BROM of the SoC, but at this point you're all out of luck since I doubt you'd be able to avoid a softbrick at best and a hardbrick most likely
also I think you CAN unlock the bootloader (OEM unlocking under DevOpts) by giving all your personal data to samsung and google over the span of a week: login to your google and samsung accounts, have a simcard in at all times and be connected to a single wifi accesspoint so that Samsung is absolutely sure of who and where you are
Ok thanks sir

thank you sir! it means no way to root my samsung a21. because unlock tool does not work on him.
well... I don't know of any BROM exploits for the Exynos chipset and if you don't want to give away your personal data to Samsung and Google, you probably don't have a way to root your device

can you send me the link for DevOpts please?
DevOpts is shorthand for Developer Options, on anything past kitkat you get to them by 7 taps on the device build model under device information (every OEM has it placed in a different place) and then going to the developer options screen in the settings (also different for OEMs)
a quick online search should provide you with detailed steps for your device
`enable developer settings for sm-a215u`
