S8 PLUS Google Blocked - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I just won an S8+ on eBay only to realise that it was Google blocked... I haven't paid for it yet but I did do a check if it was blacklisted or stolen and it comes up clean...

Looks like it needs the FRP reset method done. This is my first post on the S8 forum, and starting research on the S8, as I have one arriving next week
I just did an FRP reset on an S7 Edge. It took me several days, all day long, to finally find the method which worked on my phone. There are a lot of videos and posts with various methods... egads.
Once that method was processed, it took about 30 minutes to finally have the FRP gone and the soft reset finalize it.
If the seller on eBay did not advertise it as being Google account locked, you may want to consider a refund. Given the hardware is all ok (?), you might/should be able to un'FRP it. As I just looked at a few google search results, seems similar to the S7 method. I wonder why the seller did not un-F(a)RP it?
Do a Google search for 'S8 FRP Bypass'.

Can I just re flash stock firmware and then custom Rom?

Good question. I asked that as well and never got an answer... frustrating, so I am not sure.
My thinking leads to 'why not', as a full re-flash I'd think also writes over the Persistence directory/file, however, if it were that simple I'd a thought I would have come across a post, how-to or video, or post reply to my questions, stating yes, it can be solved in that manner.
So my post research and experimentation experience thinks once the FRP is tripped, the system prevents a simple flashing over of the Persistence partition/file with stock.

Wow, that message posting lag has been about 10 minutes! I sent you a PM.

Yeah because my bosses S7 I put him a custom Rom Batman Rom and I forgot to tick oem unlock and debugging and it went into FRP LOCK...
I can't remember what we did but we never used combination thingy...
I just remember putting the stock firmware on and it worked

How?

Ok so I got this phone frp unlocked remotely, but the imei number on the phone back and box is the same but the phone itself *#06# comes up as dual SIM G955FD...
The phone finds the sim but still says no service I have flashed multiple csc files but still no luck so what's the issue I spent so much time and money in this poop fone

Is it 'supposed' to be a dual SIM phone by OEM model?
If so does it have the original stock firmware on it, or if not what has it been changed to.. ?

My S8+ suddenly stopped working because it says "FRP Locked". So the phone won't even boot.
Any advice?

You can I stall the factory binary to bypass frp. And it's that simple.

Mad Scientist, so when you (re)install the factory binary, it overwrites the Pervasive, or what ever it is called, partition as well, which holds the FRP breach/info?
I did not think that worked, as it was too obvious and too easy a fix.
Please clarify.

The s8 factory combo test firmware does yes....

Some people also install the eng boot and google frp adb bypass command...

Is there a simple method, like that one, for Exynos?

Interesting. I would have though there was a software/OS method, but then I thought that Samsung would have made entrance into the Persistence partition like a vault door.
So am I understanding you all, an Exynos phone can be flashed with a combination file(?), and afterwards the OEM ROM, and that deletes the FRP file/Persistence partition? What slot would the combo file be used with in Odin?
I learn something new every day.
The problem is, I forget at least two things I've learned, every day
Thanks.

Yes. You need to flash it as AP and flash Home Csc from your FW. Then you must go to setting and apply usb debugging. Then flash your Fw and you can to log in with other google account.

My advice is ... stop buying stolen phones = stopping phones being stolen.

You can (actually) legally purchase once stolen phones, and they come out legit from a court ordered police property room auction.

Or, if you're like me, you buy broken phones. Phones with shattered screens and non-responsive LCDs, that the previous owners sell trying to recoup some of their money rather than pay to repair it themselves. Often when I replace the screen, I'm faced with FRP lock.
One time, I sold a phone I purchased brand new and owned legally. Sold it on Swappa to a guy in Florida (I'm in Oklahoma). What did my stupid ass do? I forgot to remove my account before resetting it, thus tripping the FRP.
So you CAN actually legally buy a legitimate, not stolen phone, and have FRP on it.

Bypass FRP on s8?

Story time: Just got new phone yesterday. Today after setting it all up I went and got a case. As I got home however the screen was unresponsive. Nothing worked.. so I had to do soft reset (vol down+ power). However after it rebooted I could not get rid of the lock screen. My thumbprint reader wouldn't unlock the device and none of the passwords I remembered unlocked the device. I had to do a factory reset (after 15 attempts). After a bit of rebooting I finally got to the google account login screen. I typed in my information but It says I changed my password within 24 hours so I am now locked out of my phone for the next 24 hours. I know the password. I have my sim for 2-step verification. But I am locked out.
I've read of bypass methods working for older samsung devices but is there one that could work with the s8+? I need to use my device for work. Am I SOL until tomorrow?
Sorry but even if there were a way to bypass FRP, we couldn't discuss it here because we'd have no way of knowing whether the person inquiring has an illicit reason for wanting to bypass.

I understand. I'm more sad than anything that Im having to wait another 24 hours before I can use my new phone. And @samcex, I'm skeptical of those youtube work-arounds and would rather be only separated from my phone for the temporary 24 hours and not 'reset my clock' by accident by attempting one of these :/

It worked for me on a Galaxy C5.
Same thing happened to me. Are you logging in with a Google account? If so, when you first ran the s8+ a notification was sent to the gmail account you signed in with initially on the s8+. Eve though you factory reset , for some reason (I think a sinister one) the phone remembers the account you first set up.
I think Samsung is into some serious spying **** and it's not cool! I hope I'm wrong about that and there is a logical explanation ad to why it remembers which account.
Anyway, that's what worked for me.

I wonder if reflashing the stock firmware from SamMobile via Odin would reset FRP? All in all, FRP is really good protection software IMO.
I would flash trough odin and try it again.
I had a similar issue with the s6 as far as I can remember, and google and samsung find device were off so no use.
SInce I had USB debugging on and approved in my laptop I was able to use ADB and manually delete the files were password is stored by commands. I was able to unlock the phone and didn't even need to reset my data.
I'm no big expert, so if I did get there, certainly someone more skilled is.
However this was done in a encrypted phone though, and things changed a little meanwhile..
I posted back then regarding this issue, if you search my old posts.

What a nonsence: "Spying"...
Every Android-phone is registered at Google (IMEI-nr and more info); so if you reset your phone (or flash FW), your IMEI will be registered again -> already registered, hmmm -> Factory Reset Protection activates (there's always a possibility it's a STOLEN phone)...
NO: FRP will never reset! When the ORIGINAL-owner registers his/her phone, you must ALWAYS enter your registered Google-account & PW after reset!

I wish I could have gotten to the point of where it asked me for a password, but it was just stuck in bootloader.
FRP locked.
Warranty void.
Oh, and I made a mistake on the cost of repair, it wasn't 250....uit was £290.00...lol
Matt
I'd just remember my password..
It will work and warranty will be fine, You are not rooting this phone and flashing by stock firmware, give it a try and let us know, i did like this couple s8 and s8+ and nothing bad happen
I have a S8 (SM-G950U)... Not stolen. Clean.
I can provide IMEI# for anyone who can help me.
I have Odin v3.0 downloaded. I have downloaded combination files.. Adb files... Etc...
And I am nowhere closer to BYPASSING the Google activation. I have a cheap spare phone because I could not afford another high end phone.
PLEASE.HELP. Anyone. I can also pay a small amount if done by you. You can contact me at @

Locked out of Zebra TC51 / TC510k

I have 2 Zebra TC51 mobile scanners that are unusable because both units are locked with a pin code.
I’ve been trying to reset the units to factory setting through the recovery console, but with no luck because Zebra has it locked down.
I’ve tried downloading the latest TC51 software roms from the Zebra site, but with no luck. Zebra will not allow me to download the software because it is “restricted” even though my warranties are valid through mid-2018—the serials are valid per Zebra’s warranty check.\
Can anyone upload to me the latest TC51 software so I can reset the units? Or, does anyone have knowledge on how to reset the phone to factory settings so I can bypass the pin lock screen?
Model number is TC510K-1PAZU2P-US (the box has GSM one it, not sure if it is GMS or non-GMS sinec I cannot get into the unit.

please enlighten us , thank you for your time , how do you glitch out your device to access certain areas?
Sorry for the late response @24bitgaiden might not be enlightening because Not sure if I figured this out or it's known but on the tc70 when factory rested and after prompted to enter id to reset and you select continue device will restart during this time zebra/Android logo will appear followed by symbol touch computer screen. Next will be the stage factory reset process (first is a yellow load bar then green ) during this time you repeatedly tap the overview button and home button after each other . Every few taps hold the home button . Repeat till internet browser opens or express on overview screen . On overview screen you can press and hold web browser and select app info or on web browser click bookmarks press and hold click on share then email choose manual setup followed by certificate install which will be followed by must have lock screen and click setup .. well at this point you should have an idea of what to do . I have disable uninstalled apps acceded camera took pictures and videos edited and shared videos acceded settings etc.....
My apologies. If I am not making sense , LMK how it goes or if a video of process is needed

FRP locked S7

My uncle bought 2 S7 from ebay to India for me.
One of them has FRP locked and the seller can't obviously give me his gmail to unlock it.
Is there anything I can do to bypass it or do I have to send it back to USA?

then Flash flash latest original firmware SM-G930F_1_20190307135001_4lzy042ysi_fac.zip
but because I have DRK Issue, after firmware boot up ang go to erasing phase then reboot and show "no command" on blue screen
When that happens I usually flash go with steps below:
flash twrp
repair data to remove encryption
no-verify zip script to bypass DRK
flash some rom and have clean working phone..
Now I've done the same but after adding Google account and syncing and app updates phone reboots and show pink words ( I don't remember what they ware)
I've red on others post that usually steps were
Flash combination
factory reset from inside and flash original firmware .
Bootloader still have FRP: ON
when try to flash twrp i have : custom binary block by frp lock
Now all its run on my phone is Custom binary with wifi without root because Kongoroot and cf-root don't work.
Can some one help me ?

I know it's not good idea but if you don't have IMEI and no serial number its only way I know to have it back. Outside backup that I have but I need twrp to flash it

You don't have to mess up your efs by wiping it clean just to get your IMEI back because flashing stock firmware alone is usually enough to fix IMEI issues. Posting this to prevent confusions that may lead to serious problems.

I've edited my post to avoid any more unnecessary conversation.
My IMEI problems are not not ordinary. Before FRP lock on every rom my IMEI wen't and go back according to moon cycles. Probably hardware issues.
Now please if you have any advice how to fix FRP Lock on B4 booloader from inside COMBINATION rom or from download mode i'm all ears.

Flashing all stock (CSC and not Home_CSC) has always worked for me from the beginning till today (last frp **** happened 3 weeks ago) and yeah my IMEI is still there.
Flashing old ROMs and flashing OLDER cp version can mess up your IMEI. That happened to me about a year ago and all I ever had to do was to flash stock rom (from whichever source you trust) via Odin.
It's the cleanest and safest way to get rid of FRP lock imo. I don't even know why anyone would bother using a combination rom as they require more effort to get your phone to work as intended.
Again, just put your phone into download mode, plug it into a PC, download stock firmware (from Sammobile, Samfirm, updato, or whichever source you trust), open Odin, and flash it there.
At least, this should work fine if you still have your efs partition working fine.

You cant repair efs without a backup. If you really deleted the efs partition no go back anymore without touching the motherboard.
And flashing firmware wont reset frp
Flashed 4 different Original firmware with CSC or HOME_CSC already.
That isn't a problem. firmware show android and erasing phase
Problem is*that after 25% Erasing ste and second reboot Phone stack on "no command" screen stays on it for a while and reboot itselfs and do the same over and over again.
I've reed somewhere thats are DRK issues I'm not a expert in this but usually i flash twrp then install no-verify zip and phone goes buck to live.
Now I have something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I't not a picture of my phone I don't have it on me right now but its very similar.
Thats why I flash Custom binary because its wipes everything and boots up. In other Guide from this forum I've reed that if you run factory reset from Custom binary FRP goes away buts probably samsung fix it in B4 bootloader.
I've don't want to go into /efs mangling because it is very dangerous I only write that I done it before and I'ts always works and If you do not need to do it don't
Now I need a way to skip "no command" screen or some twrp.img thats goes through FRP Lock to flash no-verify script or any magical way to boot up Original System.

Unable to update via Odin3 v.3.14 - "Secure fail check : (Bootloader)"

I have a several months old s10e, which turned to have no updates (Android 10, UI 2.0, security patch level March 2020(!) although was bought around April 2021). Not even an available "check for updates" button, anywhere. This is some real downer here, with Samsung semi-Android OS. I'm dealing with this issue for several weeks now, when I expected to simply update my device via OTAs.
Also verified with local Samsung service, according to IMEI, should be Android 11.
Anyway, as I found here,
S10e not receiving updates
Hi all, I'm a long time Samsung user (started with an S2, then S4, S7 and now S10e) though this is my first post here. I'm in the UK. A couple of years ago, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10e from an ebay seller. It all worked fine and the whole family ended up getting S10e's to replace their aging...
eu.community.samsung.com
I've downloaded the correct firmware from Sammobile:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and followed the instructions: https://www.sammobile.com/wp-content/themes/sammobile-6/assets/static/instructions-fw-5file.pdf
During flash on Odin3 v3.14, process get stuck at "recovery.img" while on device's screen, "Secure fail check : (Bootloader)" is writen on red;
with no process bar shown on phone's screen. Next four lines happen when I exit "Download Mode". Tried different USB port, different cable, one prior firmware version (July 2021 release instead of Sep 2021) etc. Many times, same results.
BTW, "Download Mode" model (product name) and "about phone" model number are different: SM-G970N on "Download Mode" upper left corner of the screen (see image above), SM-G970F on "about phone" model number. Could it be that I've downloaded the wrong firmware (one shown under "about" menu)?
Checked "Phone info plus" app, I see that phone model (G970F, Israel) is different than CSC product code (G970N, Vietnam).
I've sent the device to a lab (warranty service). It was returned after over a week, with the exact same status + factory reset. I'm furious.
Do I have a 970F or 970N device?! Which exact firmware should I download\upload?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

About 2, if the device was rooted to look like an F model, will it change anything else (for an example - carrier related issues due to not looking like F anymore)? Is there a potential risk with "changing it back to N"? Why was it reasonable to modify it to look like an F at the first place?

You always take a risk, every time that you purchase a used device. You can't inherently damage the device by re-flashing the official stock firmware. But a used device is never guaranteed to work the way you want it to, and it carries no warranty. So you'll just have to do the flash and then try it and see what happens
I have no idea why it was reasonable. You would have to ask the person that you got it from

Samsung (nor any other manufacturer) does not sell rooted and modified devices. So yes, of course it is used. The S10e is more than 2 years old anyways, so it would be almost impossible to find one that is still brand new sealed in the box

I have the exact same issue, bought the phone brand new from an online store in Israel and can't get updates, can't use the Samsung camera app(had to use a different app for it) and recently the mic stops working suddenly and comes back only if I enter safe mode. If i flash the phone with the n fimware will it work normally?

If your Baseband Version starts with G970N, then yes, probably
Hi
Thanks for the quick reply
I have flashed(with odin 3.14) the latest firmware according to the baseband version(g970n) and now the same problem persists with a warning message in Korean every time I turn on the phone and also skmobile animation. At least now the phone is capable of updating and is up to date with android 11 and one UI 3.5, and also, the about phone shows the correct model. Any idea how to fix the initial problem? (mic stops working, camera fail on Samsung stock app)
It’s funny how the warranty just expired a few days ago

Thanks for your help
just change the date to 2018 or 2019 with november 1
It's been a while even since the last message. I have to inform anyone who wishes to update their firmware to Android 12. You may prefer living with your Pie firmware because the Camera started to add some foggy effect on the captured images for no reason on my device after one of the updates -very likely after an April update at the time. I know because I'm not the only one with this. There are many complaints on this on the Samsung website and no one seems to care.
As far as I can guess, it is related to some effect added to the capured images during or after shooting. It resembles the photoshop effect Convert to HDR, creating some bright areas around edges while the remaining remaining image is foggy. How stupid of Samsung.
May be they just want you to replace a 4 year old phone, asuming you'll again buy a Samsung, even with the imposed circumstances.
Been a Samsung user for years but I'm looking for some other brand for my next phone due to this kind of Factory-Forced replacing necessities. Either your phone gets laggy in a year or two, or your battery inevitably dies and you can not find a single replacement one, roughly on a par with the original. I've tried dozens of different brands including the official service replaced battery. Your phone no longer runs as long as the first day you bought it and you eventually replace your phone.
Still having this crap device in my posession, I wonder if I can revert back to Android 9 Rom from Android 12? Or any ideas on this camera issue? (It happens on any other camera)

1. No device will accept any custom firmware without being bootloader unlocked. You never specified which device you have, so I don't know if it can be bootloader unlocked or not
2. Even if it can be bootloader unlocked, I highly doubt that an Android 9 custom ROM will boot on it, since its underlying firmware would be either Android 12 or Android 11

Could EDL be a hole in the Qualcomm root wall?

I've been doing at least 2 years of research trying to figure out even the slightest possibility of rooting Qualcomm chipsets, and I think I might've found it. Does anyone here think it's possible to use QPST and EDL to flash a modified stock rom with SuperSU in the system directory to root a locked bootloader?

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is a 6.6" phone with a 1080x2400p resolution display. The Qualcomm SM7225 Snapdragon 750 5G chipset is paired with 4/6/8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The main camera is 48+8+5+5MP and the selfie camera is 20MP. The battery has a 5000mAh capacity.

If the bootloader is unable to be unlocked then you can't root it. It's that simple.

Not necessarily. I can guarantee it's possible to root it because you can in fact load ROMs without unlocking the bootloader. I'm just curious if you can force the rooted rom into the system without the bootloader rejecting it.
Yeah, sure... if you can crack the EDL protocol instead.
AFAIK (at least on OnePlus) it lets you write to all flash partitions, and I'd assume that also means the ones that hold the crypto signatures used in trusted boot. You certainly could modify certain partitions, sign everything again, and create an image if you knew the format. Not listed in AOSP, though, like building your normal custom ROM.
Disclaimer: I've only ever gotten a custom OS with locked bootloader on Pixel, though (Calyx OS, modified with a few OS code changes and the Magisk stack) but I don't think that's a QC phone to have EDL in the first place.
Now Samsungs are notorious for the e-fuses and whatnot, so it may be they have some asinine defense against it... I stopped dealing with vendors that don't outright support custom ROMs (basically down to OnePlus, Google, and Asus if you can afford one). My life has been much easier for that.
Now of those, Verizon usually has a custom firmware to support their bands, which DOESN'T let you unlock bootloader. Some people have reported on some (OnePlus) phones flashing the international rom via EDL lets you overwrite that... but not sure if it loses the 5G mmWave and sub6 bands or whatever VZW uses that the rest of the world does not have.
Hope that helps...?

A locked bootloader means that it will refuse to load unsigned code. It's checking for system integrity and rooting/loading a custom ROM will always trip this check unless the custom ROM has the proper signature and I highly doubt it does.
Verizon phones are known for being locked down. There is nothing you can do.

I am definitely aware of that, but if you aren't flashing a *custom* rom and are just using a stock rom with added files, does that still change the integrity?

Thanks for that. I honestly don't mind losing 5G, it's constantly an unstable connection anyways. I've been considering just buying a Pixel from overseas, but I've been chipping away at this for too long and am probably gonna keep trying.

Doing it (re-signing) with CalyxOS was quite a challenge the first time (but cool as hell to cut your own OTA deltas after the fact, without needing to unlock or flash user partition!), can't fathom doing it with Samsung esp considering AOSP is just the start, you still have binary blobs for the radio, etc. I never figured out how to get raw partitions out of Fastboot (which wouldn't require root, at least on my phones) to get those blobs with an unsupportive vendor. After that, then make the EDL image, which I assume ALSO has a crypto signature with keys not available to sign with (but, y'know, there are ways around everything).
Like I said, I just gave up and went with supporting a phone vendor that wasn't fighting me... much easier and I still have all my customizations (e.g. root + annoyance free) with the security of a locked bootloader.
I *THINK* (maybe gsmarena.com can validate) that the Pixel 6 is like the iPhone and includes the VZW bands in the unlocked version. Buying the unlocked direct from Google shows "set up with any major carrier later", so I assume that includes VZW too.
PS: the fingerprint sensor on front sucks major, and you don't get the 50MP camera in the API used by the open source cameras... I returned the 6 and went with a 5G... but I don't think that one includes the sub6/mmW bands in the universal version.

If you had the Verizon keys you could just do the system partition mods, sign, and reflash with fastboot, or even better, a OTA delta image of the su/magisk package.
I think @qwiri 's question is could you use EDL to get a layer lower than the Android trusted boot- which you certainly could, or at least on a OP phone. But... you'd have to be able to do the entire image, signing EVERYTHING as you'd be replacing the keys, too. Totally possible, just hard- but THEN you'd have to reverse engineer EDL mode images, which I assume is signed by someone at QC. That may be possible- sign up as a developer, OEM, whatever, social engineer it. But probably more expensive than just buying a phone that LETS you flash keys without EDL (if you want trusted boot) or just unlock the bootloader to permit custom partitions (if you don't have the wherewithal to get an AOSP build environment and do it from scratch)
