Hi... So.. Got a lil question... I have a samsung J2 prime which i forgot the samsung account password... Can't add another account... So.. Im still in the phone but can't format via settings... I know if I wipe data via recovery, I cant use my phone anymore because of the FRP.. But something hit me.. What if i root the phone and install a custom recovery while I still can access the phone.. And then install a custom rom clean flash(wipe everything dlvik, data, system, cache)... Will it remove the FRP?... And what if i change the IMEI through the custom rom then reflash the original firmware... Will the FRP be removed? Will the account be deleted? :silly: :silly: can anyone try before i use my own guts to do the following XD.

you should be able to do a factory reset, that should solve your problem but you will lose all data and apps that you had installed In order to save your contacts, messages etc, its best to make backup first, you can download My Phone explorer to your PC and client to phone from google play store to backup everything before factory reset or flashing stock ROM
Factory reset is normally done by going into settings> privacy > factory reset. or it may be located in an another location in settings.
or you can follow this and flash a stock kernel to solve your problem

Hello ppl..
Yesterday i decided to flash latest "back to n0t3" Note 5 port rom by @arter97.Installed latest modem and bootloader (oj5) installed latest Philz recovery wiped and formated everything,and i flashed the rom and layest arter kernel (7.2). Wiped cache / dalvik cache x3 and rebooted the device.Strangelly the device took only 15 sec to boot up to "Select language" menu.. So there i selected my native language,puted my wifi passwors,and here we go.
Normally the next step isbto sign in with your google account.For me it asks me to sign in with an account that allready synced with that device.offcourse it didnt accept my Google account and i couldnt move farward....I cant understand what is going wrong with my phone since i see i an the only one who deal with that problem.
I will provide you all the things i tryed allready but didnt work .
Reflahed the rom
Download the zip file again
Flashed again stock firmware and reroot my device from the beggining
Trying and flashed successfully with latest TWRP and Philz recoverys with no luck
The even stranger think is i decided to try Ditto's Note 5/S6edge+ port rom and i had the same results...It asked me again to sign in with an account that allready synced with that device...
What is going on guys anyone have any idea what is the problem in my phone?
My device is 920f
Sounds like Google Factory Reset Protection. Not sure how rooting and flashing will interact with the FRP. Did you have more than one Google account on the phone? If so, you might try another account.
FYI, from what I understand, if you change (reset) your Google password, it will not work on the phone for 72 hours.
I am stumped! Long story short i have a customers device( i work as an AUTH DEALER for MetroPCS) that had a nasty popup device. One of those imfamous FBI virus asking for money. Completely locked the device. Anyway the customer didnt know gmail and PW so he couldnt master reset. ( i know now he could). I decided to flash the STOCK ROM obtained through Samsung firmware website. I flashed via ODIN. It was a success, no failing at all. The device booted as new phone, apps got optimized and all. BUT the FBI virus was still on the device popping up locking you out, forcing you to remove battery. THIS IS AFTER flashing stock OS directly from the samsung website. So i then decide to master reset thinking the stock ROM would allow me to setup as normal. NOPE. After reset its still requiring the GMAIL and PW to setup the device. I dont understand because the OEM rom was flashed successfully. Yet the FRP lock is still enabled and the device locked out. How do i flash this rom so that it becomes STOCK with no FRP lock??? ANY tips welcome as ive posted in other forums and got no response....:silly::silly::silly:
You should try master reset (wipe partition and wipe cache), then flash a stock ROM via Odin. (Nevermind, I didn't fully read the part you already did that) But to me, this is just another proof that even flashing full ROM via Odin doesn't delete/replace everything. I couldn't get it solved too.

i actually resolved this issue. and yes flashing via ODIN doesnt reset it to default. I used sidesync, got a settings apk, used sidesync to force the device to open samsung apps(like the play store) i then got a file manager and added the apk to the phone storage via a computer.(this was all done while on the google login screen) i then opened the filemanager , installed the settings apk, it took me to phone settings(without having to get past the initial sign in screen) i then did a master reset via phone menu and BOOM, device is stock. Never will i put this much effort into a 50 dollar device again haha but thanks for the response

Wow! Very nice to hear, well done!
J7 Prime-I already successfully logged out my gmail.But I forgot my Samsung account,all of its credintials including recovery phone number and email address password since I was in rush at that time.Now I want to factory reset my phone and go back to scratch since my phone is filled with junk files.I asked the same question on a J7 Prime fanpage in facebook and everyond told me a hard reset will be fine.I am afraid to do this.If I make the reset using the button combination will Samsung account ask for the password before I could use the device? I am pretty sure there is no google lock on this phone.

Factory reset from within the device itself and you should be fine.

As long as you reset from within settings you should be fine. If you reset via recovery you will likely encounter issues.
I'd also enable OEM UNLOCK just to be sure.

Yes as the dev @ashyx said.
You are safe as long as you are hard resetting it within the device by going in settings and svrolling to backup and reset. Your device will boot up normally you will have a fresh relationship with your phone.
But if you hard reset it via a custom recovery or the stock recovery. Then it will surely ask for your samsung account. Without the Samsung account you won't be able to use your device. That is a security feature of Knox.
So hard reset it via settings.
I have J710FN device
Up until now, I have tried lots of custom roms and custom kernel, with updated google play services and yet I had no problems. But today I was going to install crdroidv v4.5 after wiping data, cache,dalvik cache, system etc. and my phone got frp locked and had to install stock rom via odin
So when I checked online about frp locks, it said that they activated as soon as we login into google account, but it never happened before, but why now??
Also will I never be able to permanently remove it??

I believe that you need to remove any google accounts on your phone before flashing a new ROM. This should prevent the FRP lock when you add your account back. If not, you'll need to format the user data partition with TWRP after flashing the ROM, and flash SuperSU or Magisk after that. I've never had a problem doing it this way. Let me know if it works for you.
