S7 edge current situation.

Hi there I've been away from rooting for a bit and i have been trying to root a broken s7 edge more recently. Its got 6.0.1 stock on it. It all works except the volume up button. I seem to be able to access the phones files and sd card in windows. I can also flash 6.0.1 it seems by forcing it into download mode. But its still stuck on FRP and i can't find any way to unlock the bootloader to install custom software. I've been trying all the tutorials i can find but none work. Is this Samsung patching these security holes and so they no longer work? The password Is unknown for the Google account and it's not blacklisted or anything like that I've not used the SIM in any tutorial though. So is this doable or is it impossible at present? It all seems a lot more secure since my last root :s Thanks

Try this for bypassing Factory Reset Protection(FRP)
https://www.progeeksblog.com/bypass-factory-reset-protection-on-samsung-devices/
Or this
https://www.xda-developers.com/rootjunky/
As for rooting the device, there aren't many methods that work on lollipop and newer firmwares other than maybe trying Kingroot and Kingoroot or flashing TWRP(not an option for you since you have a locked bootloader) for your model number then flashing Super or Magisk.

Used S6 and have no idea how to root

I've researched multiple rooting tutorials and have found a lot of guides based on the auto-root file from www(.)autoroot.chainfire(.)eu
However, I still do not know what to do with this. From my research I found out that there is a possibility that the bootloader is locked and that is the reason I am scared, if I brick this phone I will not have a phone for another 2 years. If I flash a new clear android 7.0.0 stock for the S6 without the O2 addon bloatware with the bootloader locked it will brick my phone since this is some sort of security feature.
What I want from my S6:
- VERY good security, I will be banking on it alot, using android pay, etc so I need it to basically be hack-proof etc. Im not going to install apps like lucky patcher which are not from the play store.
- A new clean stock version of Android 7.0.0 without so many O2 apps that I cannot uninstall.
- Root access to remove certain system services and increase my battery life
I am a previous root user, 1 year ago being on my rooted S3 which I rooted using KingoRoot with one click. Now I come back year later to a new phone 3 generations down with things like the locked bootloader and KNOX. Could anyone explain what I can do at this point?
Phone specification essentials:
Name: Samsung Galaxy S6 O2/EU
Model Number: SM-G920F
Build Number: G920FXXU5EQE5
Android Version: 7.0
Knox Version: 2.7.1
The device still has a simlock, and I was told that the sim lock is installed in the ROM. So if I were to flash Im assuming the simlock would be removed however I still have a pending order for the unlock code coming in 7 days.

Try with a TWRP and a Magisk' - SuperSU it's a will be less-stable for now' (Seriously who are be use at This for now?)
Addition advantage it's a doesn't Permissives of a Magisk (Still "Enforced")

master reset code

Hey i have a Canadian Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 model and when i bought it second hand buddy did not remove his google& Samsung account which is preventing me from having my OWN phone and i want to factory reset it and cannot do it through the setting (powered on) and in recovery it says that it will require the Google account that is currently on the phone be signed into once the reset is complete stupid FRP protection. I found the Samsung master reset code online and im hoping that will work but wanted to ask the community before i tried just to be safe. Please any helped is greatly appreciated thanks.
ALSO its running the july 1 2018 security patch and android 8.0 ored

The only way to get past FRP is the google account or an FRP bypass exploit which are all patched in Oreo.
Take it back to the seller and get them to unlock it for you.

Its not lock i have full access i am trying to get rid of his Samsung & google account if i could root it i could get it but cant seem to find a rooting method for this phone ..... Im not locked out of it i have 100% access just need his account removed

G930W8 is Exynos, so you should just be able to flash TWRP and then flash a root zip. But if you factory reset its going to lock down. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
Downgrading to marshmallow and using a bypass method (even though it's not locked, bypass lets you change the google account) may be your best bet.

Ok so downgrade to 6.0? And then find a frp unlock for marshmallow and then i dont kno how to run the bypass never had a phone with this nonsense ..... As for the root method which root file would i have to get i could then have my brother write a snippet like the old "remove gapps\knox\samsung apps" i doubt the old one i have would even work lol

Lookup FRP bypasses on youtube, there's many methods and at least once will work - it's not a simple process however.
In that TWRP thread I linked is the Super SU flashable zip, or Magisk would be the best root methods.

Help with bypassing FRP on Galaxy S7

Hi all,
this is my first post on this forum, I have used XDA many times for various reasons but never had to register because I always found a solution... until now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, non sim locked. This phone used to be my fathers phone, he now has a new phone but he couldn't remember his password from his old Gmail account. He wants to give the phone to his wife, but he has reset the phone without disabling 'find my phone' and now his wife can't access the phone because of FRP lock.
I have done extensive searches and found multiple 'solutions' on how to bypass FRP but none of them has worked so far. That's where I need help.
As I've mentioned before, it's a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, unlocked sim version. It's a device that's made for the Dutch market. As far as I know the phone has been properly updated till two months ago, it has Android Oreo but not sure which security update, it definitely doesn't have the 2018 november update.
Can somebody help me with finding the proper bootloader etc so I can flash the device and my fathers wife can use the phone? That would be much appreciated.
tnx in advance!

Tell him to just reset his password, and log into it then

Of course we've tried it, but with no phonenumber or secondary email attached that's impossible.
Beside that, he wasn't even sure about the account used, has multiple gmail accounts that he doesn't use anymore.
But I've had help through a user who send me a PM, phone is working again.

I have a SM-G930T Galaxy S7 that I can't figure out also.. Seems G**gle has a way of keeping it's security patches installed. I downgraded it to 7.0 succesfully but Odin fails while downgrading to 6.0.1. I was able to bypass my j7 after 3 days of trying various methods till I came up with my own combination. But this S7 has me ready to pay someone else to do it for me. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Locked out of Samsung s7

I found my old samsung s7 recently and I also found out I forgot the password, I then performed a hard reset thinking i could just start from scratch when I was met with Google's FRP lock and unfortunately I also forgot my old gmail password that was originally used with the phone. I've tried setting Stock rom and right now it's on a tmobile 6.0 marshmallow rom. I need some help on unlocking because I have run out of all ideas. If anyone knows if rooting or a root like process can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
If this helps the phone is a samsung s7 originally bought from tracfone Its running 8.0 and I can get to download mode. When I plug it into a windows machine it is able to recognize the device. (I'm not sure if any of that helps but there it is)

So first off everything on your phone is gone, weren't you asking how to retrieve the data in another thread?
Anyway there's quite a few guides around on how to bypass FRP lock on a G930F Oreo, so that's where you need to start. It can be tedious and slightly difficult dependent on your IT abilities. I also just noticed you said it's running MM 6.0? then say it's running 8.0, 8.0 what? It matters because bypassing FRP on 6.0 Marsh mallow is easier than 8.0 Oreo

Like i said it's tedious and takes time, follow this guide which includes downloading various files to flash in Odin.
