I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge from a guy off ebay with smashed the screen for a cheap price and recently took it to my local Official Samsung repair shop who repaired it for a reasonable price. I turned the phone on and it had all of the other guys personal stuff on the phone and he had a screen lock on there that I didn't know how to unlock so I did a factory reset in recovery without realising about FRP. When the phone rebooted I get the google screen asking me for the original google account credentials. I have tried contacting him and getting no joy. I have tried all of the methods in youtube but as the phone has the December 2016 security update none of them seem to work. When I plug the phone into my PC windows just says the USB device has malfunctioned and does not connect. I have installed the full Samsung USB drivers but the PC still doesn't recognise it. Could the fact it is not recognised be due to the google frp or could it be to do with the fact the phone could still be damaged from when it was dropped. Im not fussed about the USB port in normal use but it appears the only method to bypass the FRP is via the USB and using one of those methods. Can anyone help please?
I had the same problem and from my understanding all the methods are blocked now I'm trying to find out if theres a way that i just havent figured out yet i've book marked your question and will keep checking back to see if you have had any help
I know it is a tricky subject as I could be in possession of a stolen phone in which case I am rightly being locked out of it but I have the receipt to prove I have purchased it which I am willing to show to anybody who might know a way around it.
Have you tried putting it in download mode then using emergency recovery on Smart Switch?
Yes tried that earlier. Smart Switch doesn't recognise it. Just stays on the screen telling me to connect the phone even though I already have. When I plug the phone into the laptop it says the USB device (my phone) has malfunctioned and Windows doesn't recognise it. I have tried ODIN and that doesn't recognise the phone either as it isn't being given a COM number by Windows. Guess I will have to take it back to the Samsung Support Centre as I paid them to get the phone working and he said the price quoted was to get it fully working. If the USB isn't working then they can repair it!

I've just unlocked a S5 Neo.
I flashed the very first firmware version (5.1.1)
FRP lock still there BUT I could now use the side sync hack or samsung unlock APK on OTG cable.
Then flashed the latest 6.0.1 version
Did you manage to unlock it?
I have the same problem
Any good current methods for this
uninstall all drivers related and kies. Then install kies and needed drivers. See if you can connect via download mode now.

Have a look at my post here... How To Reset FRP (Nearly All Fones From Android 6.x.x to 7.x.x, No Trips, Flash counter inciment, Knox, Still Mode = Official, Warenty 0 (0x0000) (Still working 16 June 2017)
You see, im not all that good with programming APK files, Dalvik VM, Obex,ect, but Linux I'm your man so i figured where is the email/pass info held and is there a switch to keep it on off, ends up one of the easiest hacks i've ever done, no complicates hashed/salted double coded switch, or hard wired switch,
just a very small partition that when or if you have any google account info stored in it you get locked out till you enter the exact same info, so i just dd,d the partition after taking a backup of course lol (; then when the fone booted to download mode i noted FRP=OFF so i flashed the stock bootloader to let the fone boot all the way to video mode and YES!!! it thought it was a new fone never been used before then i check the switches/trips KNOX , device status = official, to test i just made a new google account on the spot on the phone filled all the [email protected] in then voila its working, calls, all menu items ok, official all knox fine, just the way it was when i first got it, except obviously I've upgraded to v7, hopefully this works for you, please dont use or talk about illegall activity with this, or using it for profit, it's agift I gave you's for free so i want it to stay that way, all i want is a thanks, and a beer, lol, no but seriously, when the guy that invented the hammer to ease the effort of pussing nails into wood with you hands, never got hassle about murders with them, tha fact the could be used to rob banks, rob people, damage things, smash up shops, etc so... think about it, all i done was make a tool to help people too. theres litteraly millions of exploits, including android based ones out there just now check, https://www.exploit-db.com/ , OWASP_Vulnerable_Web_Applications_Directory_Project , http://www.exploit-db.com/ , http://www.blackploit.com/ , packetstorm cve etc etc. #
This is a tool to help people how when they first got there fone, and just filled in any old stuff to get into the fun part of the fone. ie "you cannot use [email protected],com as it already in use how about [email protected],com then the password, use one lower case, one higher case, one number , one symbol, more than 12 letters but less than 20, don't use anything you talk about, your name dob etc etc etc , so most people just pick the random one google pumps out and tries random passwords till one goes through, "I've seen this done a few times with my own eyes and had to stop them and explain and this was b4 FRP" Also if you change one letter in your google password, Factory reset your fone, your locked out if the fone never got the change in time, try it, Anyways if people use this for illegal purposes its there evilness there using not mine, there just using my tool as well as the thousand of others in the arsonry, even the OS check out "kali linux OS", "Parrot OS" "Blackbuntu OS"," BlackArch Linux" Also say you code a program to check hashes at a faster rate to speed up logins etc, a hacker will use it to check stolen passwd lists faster, if a faster CPU is made, the first thing a hacker thinks of is how many words/letters it can do a second so they can bruteforce the wifi key of the local bank, hospital etc.... so?
tried EVERYTHING ....
I have the USCellular G935R4 .... S#iiiit , like I've even gotten to the actual HOMESCREEN , but no matter what I do it wont do it.. i can access just about any app and the settings accurately every single time within seconds-mins, even tried flashing it, even had FULL access and control over it using sidesync, and i tried rooting it from oneclickroot on pc but thennnn knox trips and won't let me enable developer options.... And got the error with "sign in using email and password" on quick shortcut maker , PLUS tried everything to fix the error by reinstalling google account manager , etc ...
But NOTHING ...
If ANYONE has any idea how to successfully do get into it , Pplleasee let me know!
???
Seriously ,
I swear , I'll even pay someone ...
Try flashing the phone to the latest MM via odin and try bypassing. I tried it on my G** da** S6 with may 2017 patch. Dowgraded into latest MM and tried different bypass and it worked.
any help in 2020

cany help in 2020 S7 Att frp removal PLEASE
Hello,
So i'm trying to activate the reactivation lock via gear manager and every time i try, once i enter the Samsung account password, it eventually comes back with a popup as:
Reactivation lock failed. You can try again later by going to find my gear> Reactivation lock.
Samsung account info is verified and correct. Phone has been rebooted. Gear has been reset, rebooted and setup. Tried multiple times. I am using it with a non Samsung phone but i doubt that has anything to do with it. Am i the only one who's having the opposite problem of everyone else. Any search on the web just comes up with folks trying to disable it lol and i can't even activate it.
Any help would be appreciated.
No... you are not an Alien...
I can remember similar problems with Gear S2 and S3 users...
I can only not remember where I have read about it...
Nor solution... I mean the "allowed" way...
Maybe start at the beginning...
RL is ON or OFF in your device?
Btw... which Model name?
SM-R760 or SM-R765S or?
You can check this in ODIN Mode... look at Photo here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Oh, I can see:
Gear S3 SM-R765T T-Mobile version (using in Canada)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So only Question if allready Tizen 3 Firmware or something else?
Maybe type *#1234# to compare if latest Firmware:
Code:
R765TUVU3CQL1/R765TTMB3CQL1/R765TUVU3CQL1
Edit 2.
IMHO RL is joke... Running Gag...
But after I saw this info with SM-R765T... used in Cannada...
Ehm.
SM-R765T is US T-Mobile device... IMHO
Maybe the joke is "country" lock... with your Samsung Account...
Sa.sung do funny things to prevent you can reach same destination from all countries in the world...
I mean MCC MNC crap...
Example...
Samsung prevent me to create US Account... because I am in Germany...
So your problem is IMHO not non Samsung fun Phone... Your Problem could be in Samsung Account crap Security...
Edit 4.
If you use Cannada SIM Card in Phone...
MCC and MNC is sent to Samsung... so they can see your are not in US country where SM-R765T is sold...
Similar crap why not everyone can use Samsun Pay... in all countries where Gear S2 or S3 is sold...
Wow i guess no one else has come across this issue. Interestingly i can't do any backups also. Manual button is grayed out and auto don't work. Wonder if it's related.
I am pretty sure you are not unique with your problem...
I can only not remember where I read about this """phenomenon""" with cripple RL...
Maybe here:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearable-Tech/bd-p/wearabletech
Also no idea if Gear S2, S3 or maybe Gear Fit2...
Or maybe here on XDA...
As talking about RL is soooo mystique "illigeal".... huhuhhhhuu...
I would simple remove RL...
But in your case it is not simple... as SM-R765T as it seems...
So not all incredients available or free available...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Search in this Us forum for:
Code:
reactivation lock
Then you can find "similar" RL crap:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...ivation-lock/m-p/257394/highlight/true#M21271
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...k-and-do-any/m-p/285880/highlight/true#M23534
Harhar... okidoki... This could be you...
Again request...
You are able to check Odin screen... if RL is really OFF... and Warranty Void is still:
0 (0x0000)
Example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Are all infos Official or Custom?
Maybe something is wrong... but I have NO Crystal Ball to look or smell your device config...
Maybe you have old Samsung Phone or "Samsung Test Phone" in your family... or maybe friends can help you out...
If you really really "need" RL...
You could try by "elemination round"...
But I am pretty sure... it is your country mix related problem...
http://www.mcc-mnc.com/
Your Gear have MCC MNC for US... + CSC...
Your Phone is with Canada SIM imho... so MCC MNC for Canada
Your Samsung Account is locked for Canada SIM... MCC MNC...
So IMHO this is Security """""""""""""""""""""""""""""feature"""""""""""""""""""""""""" from Samsung...
I have no idea... if buggy ehm ugly ehm Samsung Gear Software do there own funny things...
As there are several funny Versions... with Plug in... blabla...
My first days with my SM-R732... I have used BETA Gear Manager Software on my Tizen SM-Z130H...
So I am pretty sure Gear APK and corresponding additional cr.p checks only RL...
This is not really good secured feature... it creates only funny sideeffects...
Samsung Account require also different Account apps... on Gear and Phone...
And we have on Tizen Z-series enough examples where they creates country specific problems... and fixed them only via Firmware update(s)...
So RL have many many co-working system apps on both... Phone + Gear...
Without trying second Phone... best try with Samsung brand...
It will be hard... hard adventure to find solution...
Good Luck.
Or you will wait for samsung help.

Bypass reactivation lock
Hi
I have found a solution for problem with activation lock. I have instruction woith pictures but in Russian(((
I can translate it to you but for a little money
Another easy solution can be found here:
[Guide] Unlock FRP / Deactivate Reactivation lock, Root and recovery for Samsung
Same problem- can't activate reactivation lock. Pixel 2 android 9 and sm-r765a R765AUCU2CRH1. And can't make a backup in wear, can't download app from the watch. Hard reset didn't helped. Site account.samsung.com no agreement offered to confirm. No RL in download mode
@Duumon
No idea if this is limitation if no Samsung Phone with Samsung App is used...
The other idea I have is to check, if Warranty Void is still untouched... this Knox crap...
In Odin Mode... as example look at this Photo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Perfect untouched is:
Code:
WARRANTY VOID : 0 (0x0000)
Only idea... and easy to check.
Best Regards
Perfect untouched is:
Code:
WARRANTY VOID : 0 (0x0000)
I have just like that

Hi, did ypu solve the problem??? I'm having exactly the same problem, in a SM-R765A. Can't download apps from watch and can't activate RL.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------
Hi guys! I found a solution for Duumon problem, exactly the same problem that i had, as adfree said is a country issue with samsung accounts terms. So the only thing you have to do is to enter to samsung account, and before you log in change country, for example i'm in Argentina, i bought my gear s3 frontier on ebay USA, so i changed to USA and then log in, when you log in you will see new terms and conditions, accept and everything is solved, reactivation lock, installing apps from watch, etc.
Hope it works, it worked for me.

Hi, can you give more details about this procedure please? I'm having the same problem with reactivation lock, not able to make backups but more important I cannot remote connect my watch to the smartphone.
Changing the country, what do you mean? In the samsung account or on the smartphone itself? And after that, should I factory reset the smartwatch? Or is it just solved then...getting desperate, already send the watch for repairs for this issue but it seems a security problem like I always thought...

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone could help me please...?
Android Recovery
samsung/dreamltexx/dreamlte
8.0.0/R16NW/G950FXXU4CRJ5
Also an Exynos not Snapdragon
I am in possession of my mums Samsung S8 SM-G950F, she has had to send it to me from Australia. Her ex husband activated a 6 digit pin code screen lock. We haven't a clue what this is and obviously he wont tell her what it is.
I spent a while on google and thought I may be able to sort it, I received the phone yesterday and I am still yet to crack it. She has photos on there that she would like to save.
I cannot get in to the phone to enable oem unlock or usb debugging so that leaves me very limited as to what I can do with the phone.
Has anyone got any ideas or know of a way I can get in to the phone to delete the pin lock or even flash stock firmware that may reset the settings so there is no lock activated? I even looked up how to use Rubberducky to create a script to put on a usb or sd card that will run and try all the number combinations to hack the pin code. But unfortunately I didn't find anything that would work.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Lee
Hello, so I recently got a galaxy s6 but did not realize that I cannot get past the initial setup screen since it asks for a gmail account. I know you can bypass this with JOdin which I already have installed on my Mac but I am trying to find all the files that I need to re-flash the phone essentially to bypass this screen. However, all the links I've found have been broken or old since I do know that phone is pretty old. If anyone can point me in the right direction of getting this phone working that would be awesome. I've tried some Youtube videos without using a computer but that does not seem to work.
Hello All,
So I have already smashed one of these phones against a wall; that is how frustrated I am right now. I got a couple of SG J3s (J337U), which are unlocked but unfortunately, cannot get them to work. The recognize my sim card and all, but as soon as they get data connectivity, knox enrollment service runs and mobile data gets deactivated, and calls are blocked ("Call not sent" error). I have not been able to find any way around this; it seems there is no way to root this device and there are not custom roms or twrp for this. I have tried to uninstall/disable all the apps that reference knox using adb, but so far, no luck. Someone mentioned there were able to use a magisk patched boot image to go around a similar issue, but when I created a patched image with magisk and try to flash using odin, I get a failure. I am hoping someone can help me figure this out before smash the others against something I bought these as presents for folks in my neighborhood and now I cannot return them as I had to toss the cases to make room while flying home. I appreciate any and all help I can get.
Thanks

carriers are getting sneakier about ways to get their phones locked and many have resorted to firmware that only allows calls over a specific set of conditions. TextNow wireless is one that comes to mind. They use the handset as an EMTA basically and the calls are all completed via VOIP to the switch. Thats hard enough to deal with let alone if they also implement use of a VPN to go with it. i say this assuming that youre trying to use the phone on a network it wasnt sold at the store originally for, correct?
I'm having the same issue with this a10e running and.10. i can't activate mobile data it says security policy won't allow mobile data connection. I have beat my head against the wall trying all these fixes for hours now. I could really use some help please.
I have a Galaxy SM-J337U (J3 2018) and its doing the same. Sees SIM and carrier, but will not make a call, receive a call, send or receive a text. Wondering if someone solved this
