Hello All, Before you ask no the phone is not stolen. I'm a idiot but not a thief. So I wanted this phone for a while and I saw it at a pawn shop while in Oregon on vacation. So I purchased it sorta cheap with the original box cables books the works in mint condition. The phone did not come with the prior users information so I did a Hard Reset from the Boot menu and now it ask for the prior persons info which I obviously don't have. Called Bullitt who informed me that they can't fix it that it is an android issue and to contact google. Which I can't seem to find information for. So tried a few of the unlock methods for other phones on youtube to no avail. Can't return the phone so unless I somehow fix it I'm out $350 bucks. =/ Any help would be appreciated.

Re: FRP bypass
Sorry to hear. Not too long ago in the past, you could hit google and bypass FRP in minutes on the first attempt. Now, FRP bypass how-to's have become a great ad pusher, and 95% of the info has been patched.
Save yourself multiple headaches, and put your research into learning how to flash a new rom. That info will be much more reliable, you'll get a much better Android version, and frp will be gone.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did try to see if I could just unlock the boot loader and flash a new Nougat Rom to it since it's almost a vanilla version of Android OS but couldn't really find anything along the lines of posts that might break down how to go about unlocking the boot loader. =/
There was a guy here who showed how to overwrite GAM as a user app using DirtyCow. I can confirm it is possible to get a root shell with DirtyCow and replace files in memory on the S60. His FRP bypass looked like it would work for you. Look on youtube, it's about a 15 minute long video.
The version of DirtyCow that worked on my S60, partially, was found here in D1kiy's "Universal Debloater" package. I don't have a Windows machine so I just used those files manually through ADB to replace run-as. There's nothing made specifically for this phone, so you'll have to use your brain and cobble these methods together. Basically, where he goes into the shell and uses the cat command, I would try to create that file and use the "dirtycow64 <file> <location>". You could TRY to install D1kiy's run-as and use "run-as exec cat <file> >> <location>", but I don't know if that will work or not. It didn't work to disable packages on my phone, and it's more steps.
What I'm trying to do is replace my hosts file with a larger one, which of course can't be done directly with DirtyCow. If you get any farther towards real root than removing FRP, please let me know. Good luck!

Hey Thanks for that info. been trying to get this method to work for the past 4 hours to no avail, but I do see progress. I think I just need to find all the correct files to overwrite. I'll do a write up as soon as I figure out the FRP Removal process.

I posted a wetransfer link for the files should be good for a month if you need them or if the link is taken down PM me. Most of the ideas for this FRP Bypass came from Ghostlyhaks.com I just complied what worked and what didn’t to get FRP Removed. Thanks to @aff3p for giving me a push in the right direction. Also thanks to XDAdevelopers whom I have constantly learned a few tricks from.
Once it is FRP unlocked it will download updates so if you don't want them make sure to block them upon factory reset.

help with FRP removal
Hello Sirs,
I have just bought a CAT S60 from my carrier as a used handset, and I've ran into this FRP problem too. I could take it back, since I have a 2 weeks guarantee for this, and they would pay me back its price, but since it was a good price, I'd rather keep it.
I've tried the solution above, I've managed to get to the google app, and searched for ES file manager, but when I click on the app, the phone tries to open google play which directs me back to the point where I should enter the previous user's data.
As far as I can tell, my ROM version is after 01. June, 2017. Or at least, I've entered android recovery, and the latest recovery log sais: ro.bootimage.build.date= Thu Jun 1 12:12:51 CST 2017.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hello folks,
idk if anyone of you guys had a hard time with the same annoying 'feature' on ics roms which forces you to set a PIN/password/pattern lock when you try to install enterprise certificates into your credential storage.
As for myself I need some of these certs to log into the WLAN at my university (which is 802.1x protected). But I don't feel the need of locking my phone.
So I exploited this to go around setting a password for the secure lock screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites are a rooted phone, a root file browser or adb tools and apparently your certificates.
I tested this on AOKP build 38 and 39 on a rooted HTC Sensation XE and will check this on two other devices the upcoming week.
UPDATE: seems to work even easier, I made the changes inline since the previous workaround did not work in every case.
Step 1:
Download the certificates to your SD card and/or install directly via browser/email etc. Do as you are asked and set up a PIN/password/pattern lock. Remember it
Step 2:
now with your root file browser go to /data/misc/ and recursively copy the folders keychain and keystore to a save place.
These are the folders containing the certificate files.
(See [System settings > security > Trusted credentials] for installed certificates)
With adb tools you can for example do this:
Code:
adb shell
su
cp -R /data/misc/keychain /sdcard/certificates/
cp -R /data/misc/keystore /sdcard/certificates/
Step 3:
Go to [System settings > security] and click [Clear credentials] at the bottom of the menu. Now your previously installed certs are wiped and you are free to set the lock method to [none], [slide] or [face lock] again.
Step 4:
Finally fire up your root file browser again, set /system as read/write and copy the in Step 2 backed up directories back to /data/misc/. They are now installed as the before but since CertInstaller.apk does not get involved, noone forces you to lock your phone.
in adb shell:
Code:
cp -R /sdcard/certificates/* /data/misc/
Now you should be able to find your newly added certificates in the System list under [System Settings > Security > Trusted credentials] in the [User] tab and thus be able to log into your desired WLAN.
I hope this helps some people out there. When I get deeper into developing maybe I will find a 'cleaner' method for this.
have a good night,
.eXa
Thank you for sharing! I have been really looking for this kind of hack.
Sadly I can't use it as my certificate has a different structure: it seems to install 3 files in /data/misc/keystore/
The files are 1000_USRCERT_Polimi ; 1000_USRCERT_Polimi and .masterkey
I tried copying these files to the new directory and even changing the file extension but it did not work.
I don't know if this issue is rom or certificate related.. anyway I am using a stock rom on samsung galaxy s3.. perhaps samsung manages differently certificates..
Have you any clue on this? Thank you!
hey, thanks for the reply.
alright, I figured something new, maybe try the updated version of the tutorial and pls tell me if that works for you.
greetings

You were fast! and I think you made it: I can now select the certificate in the wifi options dialog (so it's correctly installed).. but I can't test the access to the network until monday.. Anyway I am convinced that it made the trick and it was really simple, I must say.
Thank you so much , this will be useful to many people!
Your trick helped me only partially. It allowed me to install the certificates just fine. But as soon as I try to connect to any 802.1x protected Wi-Fi network, the phone bugs me again with setting the screen lock. So I need a workaround for accessing the key storage.
I tried it and sadly it does not work: it asks me a password to activate the credential storage.. only problem is that I never set a password for it so I can't insert it and use the certificate. Too bad but I think it depends on the certificate.. anyway thank you very much for the help provided!
so, back from vacation.
@grgur: in your setup it is the 802.1x wlan that forces you by corporate policy to lock your phone. i am still trying to figure this out, i will try and search the system where stored wlan access points are stored. update will come as i find a solution to this.
@grievous: which version of android are you on? try clearing your credential storage first, then set up the password and then add the certificates. after that proceed with my tutorial.
since i am in the middle of learning for my exams i have really no time to go on with my android studies... it seems like in the long haul someone has to "fix" the app that handles phone lock and device policies. i know who the bad boy is but i am lacking time right now, so hopefully i get this done by the end of august.
i'll keep you up to date with my progress.
greetings
Is there a one-click fix for this yet? Bloody annoying...
Working great on stock rooted JellyBean nexus 7. Muchos grazis!
As soon as i go back to university (politecnico di milano) i will use your suggestion! Has anyone already tried with polimi wifi network?

Hi!
I've tried to apply this solution to my device (SGS2 AOKP JB), but after clearing the credentials and copying back the keystores/keychains the user credentials cannot be found (Trusted credentials > User is empty).
Could anyone please help me with this one?

In fact i was really searching for this i will try this tomorrow !
Sadly exchange with client certificate refuses to work after trying this hack It says that it can't found the cert it needs..
I have found the permanent solution !!!
I hope this will solve everyone's problem here.
These are the steps I have done after installing Eduroam certificates from my university:
1. Obviously I have installed CA
2. I had to choose which lock screen style will I use (I only could have choose between pattern, PIN, and password), it doesn't matter which lock screen style you choose between those three.(FYI I have chosen pattern)
3. After that I have failed to swipe my lock pattern correctly 15 times
4. The "Unlock with your Google account / unlock with your PIN/password" screen appeared.
5. Choose the "Unlock with your Google account" and type in your username and password
6. After that the "Choose your lock style" screen appears. DO NOT CHOOSE ANY OF THEM, since swipe still can't be chosen
7. Just press back to exit this menu.
8. Lock your screen and unlock it ---> You have swipe unlock enabled along with the CA certificates !!!

Same thing here. Although files are backup up, there is no certificate showing up on the list. It would be great if someone found a solution, this lock is driving me nuts.
Hi, this seems almost too easy, and it's more of a workaround than a solution, but it works:
Try to login to your network
Accept the request to set up the mandatory screen lock and set one up (any kind)
Connect to your network
Go into Android settings/Security and change the screen lock type to None
Your network credentials are now saved and there is no longer a screen lock.

The last time I tried this with my CyanogenMod install, removing a pattern/password/pin was not possible because of the certificates. Only after removing the certificates, the screen-lock-type could be changed to a non-pattern/pin/password type.
LG Optimus Select (LGAS730)
I figured since there really isn't any information on my device, I'd write up some useful information for anyone who has Revol/Alltel and wants to trick out thier phone with root goodness.
I wrote this up at 3 in the morning, so if there's any typo's I'll get to them in the morning
Before anyone roots their device, be aware that our phone has a locked bootloader + System App Checking,
which means if you remove certain system apps, you will be greeted with a "Security Error" message on system start,
resulting in a shiny new brick.
So, as of now, I don't recommend deleting any apps until:
A) We figure out how to unlock our phone and disable the checks or
B) There is a list of safe apps to remove.
Rooting your LG Optimus Select:
I was previously using the universal ICS/JB root method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
But it seems that an update might of broke the exploit.
I hate promoting this program because it uses stolen code/it's garbage but it works. (Unlockroot Pro Free)
Just download > Install > Uncheck the boxes to all the toolbar spam > Run > Root > Say no to the powersave crap
I would instead promote SuperOneClick which should work aswell, but it kept freezing for some reason.
Key Combinations:
Power + Vol up + Home = Recovery
Power + Vol Down + Home = Factory Reset
Vol Down + Up / Then plug in USB = Emergency Mode
Downloading the .cab for your LG phone:
1. Find your LG phone model and serial number. [You will have to take out the battery to find the serial number/]
2. TYPE in the following URL or COPY AND PASTE (do not click on link it will not work) it in the URL Line: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/svc/po...eck.jsp?model=[model]&esn=[serial_number]
Now replace the [MODEL] and the [SERIAL NUMBER] with your phones model and serial number.
3. Hit enter to load the page. Now the page should be blank less a string. In order to view the information you have to view the page source code:
a) On Firefox: Tools --->Web Developer --->Page Source (Cntrl + U or Cmd + U)
b) On Safari: Right click blank area anywhere on the page, select View Source in the menu.
c) On Internet Explorer: View --->Source
d) On Chrome: Click Customize and Control at the right of URL Line --->Tools --->View Source
4. Find the number inside <ESN></ESN> line.
5. Type in the following address in the URL Line: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b...heck2.jsp?esn=[esn_number]
6. Replace the [esn_number] with the number you got from the first source code.
7. Load the page which should be blank again and just view source code using the above mentioned method.
8. You will then see all of the information about your particular phone including your firmware update link which would lay between <SW_URL></SW_URL>.
9. Copy the URL into your URL Line and hit enter. The download should start automatically.

This program can also be downloaded that does pretty much everything for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13682353&postcount=1
Recovering From A Bricked Device / Security Lock:
1) Download the LG Support Tool http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
2) Once installed, open it, and click Install USB Drivers > Other Carriers > LGAS730 > Double Click and install
3) Install KDZ_FW_UPD http://www.2shared.com/file/s1ZPxEPL/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html (Make sure to install msxml.msi first)
4) Download the the most current .cab for your phone (Method can be found above)
5) Rename .cabs to .kdz
6) Run KDZ as an Administrator > Click the little folder > browse for the .kdz you just renamed
7) Put your phone in Emergency Mode (Vol Down + Up / Then plug in USB = Emergency Mode)
8) Click Launch Software Update
9) You're phone should be working now!
Rooting does work. I also have installed Google Now but for some reason the logcat says 400 Bad Request when attempting to login, so you get the Offline Voice Recognition, Online Voice Recognition, Google Search, but no Cards for some reason.
On another note: It does seem that it only checks that the files still exist, I replaced a number of files in /lib with their Google Now versions and it hasn't made any complaints, the same goes for replacing GoogleTTS.apk (which doesn't work for some reason, we don't get the Google Now TTS, but that doesn't matter as much)
Overall, I'd have to say that I believe the bootloader doesn't check the CRC32 checksum, rather it simply checks that the files still exist.
EDIT: I redact my previous statement about Google Now not working right, it does :3 Just needed to remove and re-add my Google account.
UPDATE:
Another trick is to enable USB Mass Storage Mode:
To do so, Install DriveDroid from the Market. (You can either use disk images to separate your data from the SD Card or use the trick below)
Enable USB Mass Storage as directed by the application (within it's settings)
Plug and Unplug your phone with DriveDroid closed (Do NOT press any of the connectivity options when they appear, they should all be unchecked)
If all goes well, the USB Mass Storage Mode application built into Android will startup and your Phone will mount on your PC. (It doesn't seem to happen 100% of the time, so just toy around, it does work.)
UPDATE 2/6/13:
Firmware Update AS73012a has been released? Anyone install it yet?
So I just got this phone (I'm moving over from a Samsung Fascinate), And so far I'm loving it. It's was smoother the GPS is way more Accurate ! But I do have one qustion. What System Apps are safe to remove ?

That's great, I just noticed in the Optimus L7 thread that their boot loader has been unlocked, was wondering if someone could test this patch with our device as its an L7 variant. According to the threads, its possible to enter emergency mode if a soft brick happens. If anyone's courageous enough to try, please report back. I'd try but I can't afford to replace my phone if something happens to the point that I can't access emergency mode.
Edit: its worth noting that if it does work, we could use the online CWM builder to build a recovery for our device then work on a custom ROM.

Sorry for the no responses, I hadn't been able to do anything else with the phone after we got root working. Unfortunately now I no longer have the device and now have the VZW LG G2.
I also have recently moved to another service provider and a new phone.
But I still have it laying around somewhere, I might mess around with it, maybe try to get CWM working.
Also, I've gotten quite a few PM's after my long absence from XDA for the .cab
I'm assuming since a new firmware release, they've probably taken down the old link.
There was a program I had found which generated the URL based on any LG phone serial, I'll try to find it and post the application which would be 10x more beneficial along with a current .cab.
>Method added to original post, I don't have my phone at the moment to do it myself and get the URL, sorry ):
>Application for the lazy can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13682353&postcount=1

LG Optimus Select (LGAS730)
I figured since there really isn't any information on my device, I'd write up some useful information for anyone who has Revol/Alltel and wants to trick out thier phone with root goodness.
I wrote this up at 3 in the morning, so if there's any typo's I'll get to them in the morning
Before anyone roots their device, be aware that our phone has a locked bootloader + System App Checking,
which means if you remove certain system apps, you will be greeted with a "Security Error" message on system start,
resulting in a shiny new brick.
So, as of now, I don't recommend deleting any apps until:
A) We figure out how to unlock our phone and disable the checks or
B) There is a list of safe apps to remove.
Rooting your LG Optimus Select:
I was previously using the universal ICS/JB root method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
But it seems that an update might of broke the exploit.
I hate promoting this program because it uses stolen code/it's garbage but it works. (Unlockroot Pro Free)
Just download > Install > Uncheck the boxes to all the toolbar spam > Run > Root > Say no to the powersave crap
I would instead promote SuperOneClick which should work aswell, but it kept freezing for some reason.
Key Combinations:
Power + Vol up + Home = Recovery
Power + Vol Down + Home = Factory Reset
Vol Down + Up / Then plug in USB = Emergency Mode
Downloading the .cab for your LG phone:

Hey, I realize this thread is over three years old now, but are you still able to help? I followed all of the instructions to get the phone back to stock, but it can't extract the kdz file. I used UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe to convert the cab to kdz, and KDZ_FW_UPD.exe is telling me "Extract file error." Any idea why or how to fix it? Thanks!
any work on a cwm or other recovery/rom? or bootloader unlock?

Sadly, it doesn't look so. Sad since I still have this phone sitting around somewhere, would love to do other things with it. But it seems that this phone may have died.
I love this place but sadly I waste hours on posts of people who 'assume knowledge'. At the end of the day I am time lost and no answer. I have a tf300t and I simply want to know how to unlock it. I have read all the posts of go to asus and download the apk file and then get the installer file and whoola... there you go. I understand and can use adb and found the unlock app and tried to install it but nothing happened. So can some guru out thesre spell it out nice and simple and if links are required so be it that would be lovely. Imagine you are a teacher and success is a great thing.
Here's how to do it:-
1. Make sure you DON'T have a Google account set up on your tablet.
2. Backup your tablet and restore to factory settings
3. Setup as normal but don't add a Google account
4. Go to settings>about tablet> and click the Build field 7 times
5. You now have a new field called Developer. Go into that and click allow usb debugging
6. Go back to the Security tab in Settings and click allow apps from unknown sources
7. Go here and download the Unlock_v8.apk file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655047165
8. Go to File Manager>Downloads and click on it.
9 When Google fashes up and asks if you want it to check for harmful apps click 'Disallow' and proceed.
10. At the end your tablet will reboot and it will tell you the device is unlocked.
Enjoy.

Current release of guide: 29/04/2021
Tested on:
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (WiFi)
P610XXU2BTK2 (Nov2020, Android10, OneUI 2.5)
What's working: KG State, OEM Lock/Unlock in dev settings, SafetyNet, Netflix & etc. (NOT in HD with liboemcryptodisabler)
-> I have done this on latest the Android 10 (OneUI 2.5) because it seems the fastest OS for this tablet to me at this time of point. I don't know if this works the same way on Android 11.
Instructions
0. Make sure you have enough battery. Like 80%+
1. Create yourself an account on SamMobile https://www.sammobile.com/ and download your desired firmware for your country https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s6-lite/firmware/SM-P610/DBT/#SM-P610
2. Extract firmware (WinRar is the fastest for that) and open the AP_[...] with WinRar or 7-Zip. Extract boot.img.lz4
3. Decode boot.img.lz4 with https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases using lz4 boot.img.lz4 boot.img
4. Using 7-Zip add the boot.img to an tar archive and move it onto your tablet
5. Install Magisk APK from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases on your tablet, make sure there is no update available and press install. Choose the file patch and open the boot.tar (May need to enable show internal storage)
6. Move the patched boot.tar (named differently) onto your pc.
7. Make sure your downloaded firmware is the same as onto the device. If not flash it with https://odindownload.com/
- (Sync cloud apps and backup local data), turn off tablet, press Volume Up+Down and connect usb to pc while holding. When screen turns on the Download mode appears. Leave off the keys now and continue by pressing volume up
- Choose in Odin the following: BL: BL_[...], AP: AP_[...], dismiss CP, CSC: CSC_[...], Dismiss the Home_CSC_[...] from download
- Start and now wait until the tablet welcome screen appears. Skip it, we will reset it later again
8. Enable dev settings (tap 5 time onto build number for that), enable OEM-Unlock
9. Boot to download mode described above and unlock the Bootloader by following the instructions which show now up on the first screen in download mode (not the flash screen, before)
10. On welcome screen, skip setup because we will reset it later
11. Now we have to bypass KG State prenormal (or wait 7 days). Goto system update section, deactivate automatic download, then check for update. Your lasted checked date should be the current.
12. Then goto to general administration setting -> Date and Time -> Deactivate Auto time and timezone. Set the date manual to like 2 weeks earlier. Then check for updates again and the lasted checked date should be the current set manual.
13. Restart the device, activate auto time and timezone again and check for updates. The last checked data should be the current.
14. Boot to download mode flash screen like described earlier. The KG State should be checking (is for me), but not prenormal. If not then you have to wait 7 days for "natural" KG State reset i think but this never happened to me.
15. In Odin select in the AP section your patched tar created by Magisk from step 6, untick Auto reboot and F. Reset Time in options of Odin, then start
16. Once passed, turn off with Power + Volume Down for 7s, then after screen off unpress the keys and press Power + Volume Up immediately. This will boot recovery.
17. Wipe cache and data (factory reset) and reboot to system
18. Now you can setup the device properly. Download Magisk APK manual from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases, install it
19. Don't make the additional setup, cancel it. Make sure the manager has the latest version and no update is available. Then make the additional setup.
20. FOR BEAUTY ONLY (Optional): After the auto reboot, bypass KG State like above. We will now unblock the OEM-Unlock button in dev settings. For this we have to crash the tablet. Not force off, power off, ... but crash ;D Open Magisk, check for SafetyNet, Move home immediately and open PlayStore. Then open Magisk again and continue the cycle. When doing this fast, my tablet apps get unresponsive and after like 30-60s the Samsung logo appears. After the tablet is back there, my OEM unlock is always usable again. Probably there is a faster way to crash it ;D
21. Now we will fix SafetyNet and Netflix, etc.. Install https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix Magisk module and liboemcryptodisabler from Magisk Modules. Then activate Magisk hide.
22. Now we will fix the PlayStore. Force close it, deactivate it and clean cache (I know data clean is not available)
23. Reboot your tablet. Then download PlayStore universal APK from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/#variants
24 Install the PlayStore APK. This will reactivate it. My device was certified at this point and Netflix was available on PlayStore and playing videos ;D
Note 1: Some flash process failed? Then you did very likely do something wrong. Try to make a clean flash. Fails too? Well this is bad. Probably resolvable by using another Odin version or some specific flash combination.
Note 2: I created a custom lcd calibration with Color Changer. Maybe interesting for more people ;D
The color seems for me less yellowish with white, more punchy but also less detailed. I prefer this look.
Note 3:
- Netflix is not available in HD. Stated that earlier already. It does work in HD with unlocked Bootloader but not with Magisk installed ;( Seems like the boot image is the problem here, which we cannot fix. Modded older Netflix APK's are not working either and removing Netflix system app makes the device unbootable the next boot. So if you want Netflix in HD then this is nothing for you at this time. Probably someone found a solution.
- However i did not try to use Netflix with the HiddenCore core method. I did also read in the other root guide for this device that people used MagiskHide Props. Maybe a kernel mod is required. Some research needs to be done here.
Note 4: Widevine L1 worked with unlocked bootloader and even stayed with root. However Netflix playback did not work after root... There exists a LuckyPatch for a version of Netflix newer than the one already installed in the firmware... I did not try but maybe this patch could also solve the problem
Hope my instructions are clearer then the bull**** flying around this forum for this device ;D;D
Hello , i have the s6 lite wifi with magisk on it... My problem is when I install a update every times I need to do a factory reset and start over again when I want to install the root ( the boot.img patched in Odin. ) For updating I download my complete firmware and install it with Odin...

So who you can keep the data when you update the device with magisk??
I want to ask if colour changer drains battery or not bcz i use it too and i dont found any article on net about it pls tell if it drains battery or not (i am using custom with all colours on full) screen colours look like amoled

I've not tried that... but when using Odin there is a HOME_CSC and HOME image... The HOME_CSC does not reset the tablet. Also it is probably not necessary to wipe the tablet after the boot.img flash. On my phone this was not necessary but with this tablet users reported that otherwise it would boot loop. So i would try to update with Odin like that and reboot directly to download again, flash the updated boot.img and reboot.

Here is a quote from Color Changer: "This is NOT an overlay: it completely remaps your colors in all apps". I did not try for long because i needed Netflix in HD but i does not seem so. Tell us if you experience something like that if you try...
"1. Create yourself an account on SamMobile https://www.sammobile.com/ and download your desired firmware for your country https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s6-lite/firmware/SM-P610/DBT/#SM-P610"
I can't. I have an Account and I can log in to that account. But when downloading the site tells me to "join". (Not Login or sth.) If I login and then click on "Edit Account", then it tells me to login first. If I login on that new site, then it tells me that my password (which I just succesfully used to login) is false. If I click reset password, then it tells me
"Invalid Redirect URL (https://www.google.com/)" If I try to "join" with new account, then it tells me that nickname and email are alreday taken.
If I register a new account with new nickname and new email, then I can't proceed either, the site will still tell me to join and if I click join, then it tells me that "Our records show that you have already registered under the name of andy02q. If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here." I didn't even input "andy02q", it's just the account which I just created and confirmed.

You need to go to sammobile.com/login instead of just sammobile.com
I did go to sammobile.com/login. That's how I could login, how else? Although... now after trying the same thing again the login does carry over to https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-s6-lite/firmware/SM-P610/DBT/#SM-P610 and I can download the firmware from there, so thank you for the help. I guess Strg+F5 and closing and reopening the tab wasn't enough and I had to delete cookies or sth
So long story short. Dumbass me decided to change my swipe pattern on my Samsung S22 Ultra while jetlagged on holiday. I usually use my fingerprint and seems every 72 hours one would need to confirm with the swipe pattern. So no I'm locked out and having to wait 2 days for the next retry. I don't want to reset as I have a ton of photos on it I've not yet backed up and will probably end in divorce if I loose them.
Things I've tried:
1. Swearing, blaming my own stupidity while promising the miss I will get the photos back.
2. Tried to install TWRP via ODIN3 so that I can remove the gesture.key via the file manager that should let me log in again.
Got blocked my OEM during bootloader
Still blocked even after trying the two butting plug plugging in the cable, then pressing up to enable oem
3. Tried loading TWRP via ADB
Kept on saying invalid signature.
4. Tried via Fasboot to load TWRP but I can not seem to boot my phone into fastboot.
5. Tried to inall AROMA Filemanager (0.2 after compling it)
Got the same error in adb with signature not correct.
6. All the "apps" out there is just a money grab that ends up wiping your phone .
7. Also found strange tutorials where you have to enter a ton of USSD codes to "unlock your phone, but I'm sure this is a scam somehow.
Things want to try, but probably will be blocked somewhere along the line:
1. Try writing a script to remove the gesture.key
Zip the script via Zipme / Flashable zip creator (have not worked with these before)
Loading the script with adb sideload (since sideload is the only option (all other adb commands is blocked))
If this does not work try making the script into a rom (Not even sure if this is possible)
Load the rom and hopefully it will run to delete the gesture.key file
When all else fails:
Start looking for a good divorce lawyer.
Any assistance would really be helpful. I've been on this for about 48 straight now and I'm starting to make stupid mistakes. Also sorry for duplicate posting.
If you are syncing your photos to Onedrive using Gallery, to Samsung Cloud, or to Google Photos, then those images are backed up. They will resync after resetting the phone.
