[Q] FRP lock help--j700T Marshmallow

Hello,
I wonder if someone would help me FRP unlock my phone. It is a T-mobile sm-J700t 2015. I have searched the forum but don't see a clear answer.
I have tried (from Youtube) the USB cable method, the camera method and flashing the 10/2016 stock firmware through ODIN. In Odin I get an error: "Complete(Write) operation failed". I cannot turn on USB debugging of course because I cannot get into the device. Haven't tried updating with Kies yet because I'm nervous they'll patch any additional back doors I could try.
I am somewhat experienced at flashing and such and I think there must be a way to completely wipe the device and flash new firmware but I don't see instructions for that.
Thanks in advance!
Odin v3.10.7 & v3.12.3
Recovery: Haven't changed
USB installed from Samsung Kies (made sure Kies isn't running)
Firmware: J700TUVU2APJ3_J700TTMB2APJ3_TMB.tar.md5

Anyone? Still locked out of my phone. :crying:

Reboot normaly > go to settings > developer setting > oem unlock check yes
#gggirlgeek
Reboot normaly > go to settings > developer setting > oem unlock > check yes

I can't get into the phone at all. It is FRP (Google) locked because I did a factory reset from recovery. I can only manipulate it from PC or stock recovery. I have ADB, Odin and Samsung Kies on my PC if that helps.

What is the reason I am getting the ODIN error: "Complete(Write) operation failed"? Is it due to the FRP lock?
If not, would flashing the same stock firmware even help? (I have read that it's not possible to flash older firmware versions.)
Is the boot partition where the FRP status is stored? Is it possible to flash a new boot image to reset it?
I assume flashing a custom recovery would be useless? I doubt it could be done without USB debugging/ADB being enabled anyway.

One of the reason for that odin error is flashing an old build of stock ROM, your guess is right
Even if you are able to flash a stock FW via ODIN you'll still not be able to boot to your OS.
You have to login using the same google id that was previously logged in
OR you have to bypass the Google Account Login Screen.
There are varous method on youtube (i know you saw them) to bypass that screen (Side Sync method worked for me at the 10th attempt) inorder to install a 3rd party app either to
1. enable the developer option or enable OEM unlock ( to flash custom ROM or custom recovery)
OR
2. to overwrite the previous google account saved with your new account details. (THIS ONE HELPED ME)
WITH FRP LOCK ON, ODIN SHOULD NOT GIVE YOU ERROR ONLY IF YOU ARE FLASHING STOCK ROM. BUT STILL YOU WILL BE LOCKED WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNT LOGIN SCREEN BECAUSE OF FRP LOCK ON AND STOCK ROM
FRP info. is saved in Sboot. Flashing a new sboot works only for devices those were never upgraded to Android 6. For J7 2015 that was upgraded to android 6, flashing Sboot bricks the phone as said by a cell phone repair agent

Sid

@saddam.khan999 : Thank you so much for replying. This is helpful. :highfive:
What did you do to get the sidesync to work? Mine wouldn't even connect to Sidesync on my PC.
Tried different USB ports, and even different PC's to get it to pop up on the phone. Tried old usb drivers too. Sidesync never senses it, and My Computer only show MTP folder that won't accept any file pasted to it.
You did this with Android 6.0.1 October 2016 update? They fix more holes every time.
Also, can you give me the link to the unlock tutorial you used with Sidesync? Just want to compare my method.

I tired two different tutorials of SideSync to crack it. Once I reach home in the next 10 hours from now. I'll search on youtube and give u the links. Right now I cannot remember it.

I followed below step to fix popup issue
1. Uninstall all samsung apps like, Kies, SmartSwitch, SideSync everything.
2. Uninstall Samsung USB drivers
3. Install SmartSwicth (to get best drivers)
4. Now install SideSync (latest)
5. Open SideSync and check for OTA updates in your PC (update it if available)

I give up. I'm going to pay somebody. He can use one of those low-level programs to unlock it remotely. It only costs $15. Well worth it. Wish me luck!

Its simple. Just flash the latest firmware through odin and you'll be booted on stock.

Not so simple.
During FRP Lock you are restricted to the google sign in page, locked out of everything else. Cannot even pull down the status bar. So no way to get to settings.
This can be done via ADB , but only if you had USB Debugging enabled prior.
I just obtained a used J7000T1 and FRP lock is activated , Even on the bootloader it displays "FRP Locked" . USB Debugging was never enabled .
If I find a way , I'll post. Any one have luck yet?
Once " FRP Locked " is off the bootloader, I'm sure we can just load a recovery / rom via Odin .... But that's where I am a stuck of course.

I had this happen last Feb when I got the phone and was trying to install twrp, and it says frp lock when I tried flashing the recovery tar via odin. I literally took out the battery rebooted back into the OS and turned on oem unlock and USB Debugging and it was fine then when I flashed twrp. I have never heard of this other issue u speak of. The phone has an unlocked bootloader to begin with. If u are stuck in a Google sign in page, I would download the Samsung z3 tool and make sure u have drivers installed and unlock the frp that way.it does have an option for frp lock

Drivers are installed.
Just cannot move from the google sign in.
There is a guide that shows how to use a USB drive with a shortcut apk on it , hooked up via OTG and is able to open settings. Although that did not work for me as well...
Maybe N version is different than MM ?

Almost the same problem here.....but in my j700f, I can't boot to recovery at all...can't flash stock firmware also due frp locked

S7 little more than Soft-brick

Hi, I own a samsung galaxy s7, running Superman-ROM and using TWRP recovery. Recently I was mucking around with some friends and decided it would be a good idea to install a ****ty game as firmware (through Lucky Patcher). After asking me to reboot I did and it is now soft-bricked. It says "custom binary blocked by FRP lock". The problem is that both OEM unlock & USB debugging were off, so I cannot connect to my PC. The only thing I can access is Download mode, but I am not able to enter recovery mode to wipe it. I have tried reinstalling both TWRP & Samsung's default ROM through Samsung Odin (I do have USB drivers) and they both fail. Is this fixeable or would I have to give it to a professional?
Thanks in advance, Lucien

Seems you flashed an unsigned system image or similar to trigger dm-verity like that. Your best option would be to try to set the device in EDL (Qualcomm HS-USB 9008) mode and reflash from there (assuming you already know how to do so) there is a good amount of info on Google and XDA to guide you through. The S6 should have a programmer file to flash as your SBL to reflash the stock firmware
---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------
If you need to create the rawprogram0 and patch0 files I have custom tools I can share to help you create that as well as your firmware to flash. You will need a programmer though and it can be a difficult process for a user who is beginner with it

@Imtiaz Shah
The 1st thing of all things an Android phone owner should do is turn USB Debugging on: then life becomes easier.
So by means of ADB you can manage Android kernel's dm-verity feature
To disable
Code:
adb devices
adb disable-verity
To enable
Code:
adb devices
adb enable-verity
Is working fine on userdebug builds.

I think in his case he is on a production build which disables this feature. At least as far as I can see
And yes that's the first thing you should do I do agree

Yes Bro. I missed the trick . But this time I think I am really stuck as I was not wise enough to enable USB debugging in advance. I've been trying to connect the phone with multiple laptops, after installing Samsung USB drivers, but the Laptops are not even making a single sound that something has been connected. Nor showing unknown device, I mean just nothing. I am having a hard time to connect my phone with the laptop. even the guys sitiing at the mobile shop returned the phone after two days by saying that they are not able to connect the phone with the PC.
So, at the moment, on the Android System Recovery Screen, there is a error "dm-verity Verified Failed" and when I try "Apply update from ADB" system says "Disabled",,, "Apply update from external source" system says "Disabled",,,,,,"Apply update from cache",,system says,, "deprecated", when I try "Reboot to boot loader",,,nothing happens and phone starts normally and stuck at logo AND I am not able to connect my device with the phone (which seems to be the main problem). Is it something that my phone has gone into some kind of security lock ??? I am able to access the recovery mode as well as download load mode in the phone but nothing happens afterwards..

I have instaled QDLoader HS-USB Drivers and tried connecting my device through Qcom_EMCP_Multi-Port_Software but result invain....

I am a Noob and have no idea about " the rawprogram0 and patch0 files ". I am certainly looking for a soultion to solve my issue but have no idea how much I can bother you on this...... but in either I am really thankful for your sincere offer and really grateful to you. My Heartiest Regards ...

This includes links to the tools you will need and a link to create the proper files. I don't take any credit for these what so ever
The S6 download the lastest firmware and ensure you have the GPT file (it will have a specific name) to use because it will be needed

Soft Bricked sm-j327p not recognized

I'm no tech whiz, my thing is more writing.
I don't know how, but my samsung galaxy emerge got bricked. Soft bricked. I can get it into download mode but it wont be recognized by my pc. Ive tried each port, uninstalled and reinstalled odin, looked in the drives, tried a new cord (or two) and put the phone in different modes. I cant get it into recovery mode, only download mode and an error screen that says:
'Custom binary blocked by FAP lock (recovery.img)
secure fail: recovery
once again, i never installed a custom binary or anything like that.
going to the download screen gives me this message:
'odin mode (high speed)

product name: sm- j327p
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: on

please help. again, i dont think it's a pc connection problem, i think its a phone problem. so how do fix it?

My guess it's not a hardware problem, but a software problem, otherwise even ODIN wouldn't work in any way.
If phone stupidly boots into download ( fastboot ) mode this means phone's bootloader is directed to do so. To fix this the appropriate property has to be reset. This only progammatically can be done by you if phone's Android got rooted and USB-debugging got enabled, too.

I'm afraid, but it seems that you'll have to do it

I'm no tech whiz, my thing is more writing.
I don't know how, but my samsung galaxy emerge got bricked. Soft bricked. I can get it into download mode but it wont be recognized by my pc. Ive tried each port, uninstalled and reinstalled odin, looked in the drives, tried a new cord (or two) and put the phone in different modes. I cant get it into recovery mode, only download mode and an error screen that says:
'Custom binary blocked by FAP lock (recovery.img)
secure fail: recovery
once again, i never installed a custom binary or anything like that.
going to the download screen gives me this message:
'odin mode (high speed)
download mode !!
product name: sm- j327p
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: on
warranty void: 0x1 (0x30c)
qualcom secureboot: enable (csb)
ap swaev: s1 t1 a3 p1
ap swaev: k 0 s 2
secure download: enable'
please help. again, i dont think it's a pc connection problem, i think its a phone problem. so how do fix it?

Did you install Samsung USB Drivers from the official website?
I suggest you to use a USB port directly on the motherboard.
Restart your pc after the USB driver is installed.
Goodluck flashing the stock firmware, I believe you should be able to revive easily .
