I bought an s7 (sm-g930f) from letgo. It worked fine for 2 weeks, then I got a lock screen from rentacenter. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this lock permanently?
If anyone knows, can you please email me at [email protected] . Thanks
I have installed twrp recovery and wiped out the os. Now my question is, how far can I go deleting? Can I delete partitions? Will flashing firmware recreate them? What can I do to make sure it's gone for good?

Hey guys firstly i want to apologize if i'm on the wrong forum.
I have screwed up and i hope you guys could help.
I have a Samsung S6 that worked perfectly, but i wanted to sell it and buy an S7 and so i have done a "hard" factory reset by pushing Vol up, Home, Power buttons. Turns out i had to do a "soft" factory reset first.
Now when i tried to sell my phone with all parts and documents i have failed!
It turns out that the phone asks for my Samsung ID but obviously i can't remember an ID that i have created more than a year ago that was of no use to me!
I think i still have warranty but that is my last option for something like this, i have not rooted this device it runs on marshmallow.
What can i do to fix it myself?
I haven't tried flashing it with a stock rom simply because i fear that that will trigger KNOX, even though i'm desperate to fix this, i haven't crossed that border of despair.
Guys please help, i'm counting on your replies.
Thank you.
Flashing a stock rom that was made for your phone will NOT trigger knox. You can use samfirm and odin to do it

Thanks for your reply, do you mean from sammobile? Also i do not remember what version if marshmallow i was running, is there a way for me to figure it out now?
Okay i figured out what version of marshmallow i was running simply because i had put updates on automatic so it must be the last 6.0.1
However i do not know anything about samfirm i have used odin before on my s4 like 3 years ago, and i only used it to root my s4.
Could anyone please help me out?
Btw, if i successfully put a stock firmware on it throigh samfirm and odin, will it remove my email? Or is it omly worth a try?
Are you certain that it will not trigger knox?
Okay i tried flashing the same firmware unto my devicd but it seems that i can't flash anything because Reactivation Lock is enabled.
I didn't enable it (at least i don't remember) mayve the marshmallow update enabled Reactivation Lock?
I'm almost at the point of throwing my phone into a wall, it's getting close.
Did you figure it out. I'm in the same boat with my S6 edge
Hey so I was wondering if I could keep my root after installing the default os or something similar.
So I rooted my phone with a custom OS and it worked all fine. I then logged into my google account and worked fine. I restarted my phone and then at the top it just says Custom Binary blocked by FRP.
I have fixed it so I can use it but I was wondering if I could root it and then remove it somehow? That was the only issue I was having when I did that. Rooting worked and everything just I need to know a way to either delete FRP or Get around it where I won't see it again. Hopefully this makes some sense.
Android Version: 6.0.1
Model Number: SM-G920P
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6
If you need anymore info let me know.

Greetings and welcome to assist. This is for the edge variant but the principal is the same, you need to turn off OEM lock

Hey guys
SM-G925F Galaxy edge 6, rooted to Oreo 8.0 from nougat 7.0. using odin and twrp. Everything seems to work fine but whenever I get a call it now asks to swipe up to answer or down to reject. The screen becomes completely unresponsive and I cant do anything I really need some help!
Hi All
I have an S7 Exynos with latest Magisk installed and everything has been working flawlessly till I decided this early morning, for not any particular reason(except my increasing amount of grey hair ), to lock the "developer options". I think I have done the same maybe a couple of years ago though cannot remember how I had solved it.
Obviously my phone was instantly locked.
Would someone be able to link a good working solution with being able to keep data and apps? I am a bit desperate as my work is starting again tomorrow.
Thanks a lot.
look at frp bypass
Costum binary blocked by FRP lock is a protection, whene you do a factory reset from recovery. the only way you get this message is with odin.
this one works for me on s7, s7 edge and s6 tab
Thanks @Dagobert
I will have a look at it now and see if it is not too scary. See my S7 FRP

Do you have acces to the phone?

If you have acces to the phone then backup your data do a factory reset. Then you can flash whatever you want. Frp lock is a google protection with a google account. Whene you do a factory reset from settings you wipe the frp.
What is Google FRP?

I have access to the phone via PC/Odin only. No booting as per image above. I wand to keep Data and Apps
I assume I have to flash stock with home csc to be able to enter the phone again? Then root again, if I so wish?
Yup. Maybee a long shot but try Flashing your former firmware with Odin, using HOME_CSC. I think thats the solution

Help! How to flash without losing data?
Good day! My phone got stuck on breathing Samsung logo after my phone updates. Now the only option I have in mind is to restore factory data. But I have some important files in my phone that is very essential in my work. I know I have read that...
forum.xda-developers.com
hmm., done the flashing with the files plus home csc and it asks for password, which I have entered without success. I know the password and it justs does not accept it.
See the factory reset warning and the FRP lock still being on now.
I'm desperately trying to avoid wipping data and apps.
edit: unfortunately I had to format/reinstall as I could not find a workable option.
Hey,
I have a galaxy s7 that I wanted to reset because I forgot my screen password.
After reseting the phone I discover that I need to register with the same email which I don't remember (FRP issue).
I tried to flash the original rom again but it doesn't solve the issue.
I tried to install twrp to install a custom rom but unforthantly I can't do this because my bootloader is locked and I can't find a way to unlook it.
Is there any way to make the phone woring again?
Help from anyone?
You can do it easily with a "combination" ROM. It is easy to find it if you haven't updated your phone to Android 8 (like I did).
