Problem with my Samsung S7 - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
I bought a Samsung S7 a while ago and performed the setup based on my gmail account.
But now I do not know the password anymore and when I perform a hard reset I have to log in with that account, so you now understand what my problem is.
How can I solve this because the store does nothing and via google it does not work.
Please need help.

Is there a option if everything is gone to diable frp lock?

Ideally you should have had a recovery email or alternative method to get your gmail back. FRP is pretty tough.
You can try flash an older firmware version and then use an older FRP bypass exploit, the latest Android builds basically have no exploits left.
You may have to try multiple difference older firmwares before one lets you flash, but you may find none will flash.

How do I downgrade to an earlier version of 6.0.1?

Long story short. I'm helping out my colleague who got her phone locked. We ended up factory resetting it, but she's not the most technical, so it seems that every time she's gotten a new phone over the years, she's just created a new gmail-account and forgotten about it.
Then FRP kicked in. Shouldn't be a problem if she just knew her account.. We've found out that she's got at least three accounts, but none of them works. I figure she's got another one, but not one that she could remember. So I have to bypass FRP somehow, otherwise this phone will be an expensive useless brick. :/
It seems it's on build MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPJE.
It's recently updated, so any bypass I've found seems to have been patched. It's usually a good thing, but in this case (she can blame herself, though..) it's a bit sad.
I've tried to downgrade using Odin, but for some reason it fails. I've haven't been able to enable OEM-unlock or enable Developer options.
Any help is appreciated!
She should have some record of which account she used, creating a Google account should ask for a backup email address for recovery, so one of her accounts should have the details of the one she's forgotten
Otherwise unfortunately this could just as easily be "I stole a phone and want to know how to bypass FRP"
Octoplus box and your problem is solved.

I know. At first she couldn't remember the gmail, and after we checked against her phone no. we found two accounts. Checking against her work e-mail, I found another. Unfortunately it was none of them.

All I can suggest is look for tutorials on YT for bypassing FRP for whichever security update that phone was on / downgrade with ODIN to one that has a tutorial (Try leaving out the BL part of the flash if it's failing, and use CSC, not HOME_CSC)
You should definitely be able to downgrade a G930F, I just did with mine from 7.0 Nougat back to 6.0.1 using ODIN 3.12.3
You don't need OEM Unlock or Dev Options / USB debugging for flashing stock with ODIN

Thanks, I'll give it another try later tonight.
Following this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRUp09bXnDA&feature=youtu.be) I didn't have to downgrade anything other than the account manager on 6.0.1 through an .apk. That way I could bypass FRP on the October security patch. She was so happy, and I told her to keep it to this one @gmail-account.
So, problem solved! Thanks for the replies!
Nice one :good:

Disabled OEM Unlock and USB Debug with ROM, now I get CUSTOM BINARY LOCKED BY FRP

Hello fellas,
I have a SM-G930F running Super Stock Rom 2.8, rooted with Magisk 12. This morning I was a little high and worried about getting my device stolen (my S6 was stolen at gun point three months ago), so I disabled OEM Unlock and USB debug in Developer mode, in a crazy attempt to increase the security and make things more difficult for the thief. WRONG! I have really screwed things up.
Now I get CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK and my device won't boot. The DOWNLOAD mode shows FRP LOCK is ON, this means I won't be able to flash anything with ODIN because it will fail at writing (that is what the FRP Lock is for). I am at work and my computer has the USB ports disabled, so there's nothing I can do until I get home.
This guy did the same stupid thing, except that he wasn't high
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-custom-binary-block-frp-lock-t3347688
I know that attempting a flash with ODIN can also cause this problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71692103&postcount=25
As soon as I get home, I will attempt the Smart Switch Emergency Recovery Function and I hope everything will be OK. Since it was my google account logged in, I won't have any problems with FRP (theoretically, it will ask me to login with the last account used on the previous configuration).
[UPDATE] There is this ADB thing I am completely unfamiliar with, not to mention I have disabled USB debug on the device prior to this. This file will disable FRP Lock but I don't know the procedure.

Any help will be much appreciated. This is my only phone and now I can't use it.

Thanks for replying. Flashing stock firmware with FRP Lock will cause a write failure, are you sure about this? I will try it as soon as I arrive home. I didn't get that part where it will get stuck on google lock account, the device is mine and the latest google account used before was my personal google account. Could you please provide more details to complete the process?
I am also considering Smart Switch Emergency Factory Restore, that is my last shot before taking it to repair shop.
Dear sir kindly be sure the software is latest/i mean firmware

I managed to solve it using Smart Switch, the firmware update did the trick. After restoring the system asked for last used credentials on previous configuration, like it was supposed to. Since it was my personal google account, there wasn't any problem with FRP Lock. Now I have installed TWRP and Super Stock Rom 2.8 again.
Leason learned, I will NEVER deactivate OEM Unlock again with a Custom ROM.
Thanks to everyone, this thread can be closed now.

Unlock phone w/ forgotten Google password

Hi, I have an s7 and I cant remember the Google information to unlock the device. I've tried factory resetting the phone but still no luck. I was wondering if I reflashed the phone through Odin if that would help? Any information and help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Samsung phones have factory reset protection, it's also persistent through firmware flashes.
You could try flashing to an older firmware that has exploits to bypass FRP, but chances are if your S7 was up to date, you've got the bootloader that prevents downgrading.
Flash older firmware via ODIN, Nougat or even MM to be safe, though as mentioned earlier, the bootloader being updated might prevent the phone from booting up but it's worth a shot.
If it is the password the one you forgot, then reset the password in Google for that email the phone was registered to, then wait 72 hours, seems is the time to wait, once you have the password sorted out, you could get into your phone.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm going to try and flash to older firmware as suggested.

Will Flashing ROM remove Samsung Account? (Samsung A3)

I found my old Samsung A3 again after it being stored in the closet. I want to factory reset it, but it is asking for my Samsung account. That’s anyone have an idea if flashing the ROM via Odin and such will remove the Samsung Account? I do not use the email address anymore and I cannot remember the password. I also lost the Sim card that is registered on that account because here in the Philippines we can change number anytime. I cannot contact Samsung helpdesk because I used a different name for it. I was still a stupid teenager when I had the phone. Thank you to whoever can help me with this problem.

Do a Google search for:
"Bypass FRP Galaxy A3"
Or
If you know what android version is on the device, do a Google search for:
"Bypass FRP (your android version)"
There should be several YouTube videos in your search results and there should be a lot of links to guide tutorials. Find one that applies to your device or at least applies to the same android version that you have, try many different ones, you should eventually find something that works.
If any of them require flashing anything on the device to solve this, skip those for now and don't try them until you have exhausted all the other "non-flash" solutions. If none of the "non-flash" solutions work, then you can try the methods that require flashing, but, you will only be able to use flashing methods that apply to your specific model number.

Thank you! I will try to search for it! My rooting skills have been rusty lately and my last root/flash experience was 4 years ago. Security wasn't tight back then.

Cant bypass google frp

I have an s10e sm-g970u ive tried upgrading n downgrading my os to bypass google frp ,i just up graded to android os v12 its installed but still frp locked please help
In the future remove your Google account before you reload and you won't have this issue.
Also factory reset from Settings not the boot menus... that's all I got.
Try the stuff you find with a Google search.
The phone was already factory reset before they brought it to me and ive been trying alot of combination files stock roms and nothing has unlocked the frp but it does install the firmware
