Hi all!
My Dad's S7 got stolen a month ago and he got it back this week from the Police because they found it in a used electronics shop. We tried to factory reset but it asks for an unknown Google Accounts credentials. They prolly wiped all data and did their "thing" to sell it.
Is there any way to bypass Google's Factory Reset Protection? Maybe installing a new firmware/ ROM?
Flash to marshmallow, use an FRP bypass exploit.

My roommate got a Galaxy S6 earlier off of Craigslist but the person who sold it to him doesn't know the Samsung Account password,so unable to factory reset. Would downgrading the firmware via Odin trip the FRP and still ask for a password?

Just go into recovery mode {press 3 keys} and do factory reset from there.
Usually when you do that,FRP trips and it won't let you use the phone until you put in the password
We know the Google account password that's on the phone right now (his). So if I factory reset it via recovery ,wouldn't it ask for his Google account password? Double checking before I do anything.
Hey i have a Canadian Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 model and when i bought it second hand buddy did not remove his google& Samsung account which is preventing me from having my OWN phone and i want to factory reset it and cannot do it through the setting (powered on) and in recovery it says that it will require the Google account that is currently on the phone be signed into once the reset is complete stupid FRP protection. I found the Samsung master reset code online and im hoping that will work but wanted to ask the community before i tried just to be safe. Please any helped is greatly appreciated thanks.
ALSO its running the july 1 2018 security patch and android 8.0 ored
The only way to get past FRP is the google account or an FRP bypass exploit which are all patched in Oreo.
Take it back to the seller and get them to unlock it for you.
Its not lock i have full access i am trying to get rid of his Samsung & google account if i could root it i could get it but cant seem to find a rooting method for this phone ..... Im not locked out of it i have 100% access just need his account removed
G930W8 is Exynos, so you should just be able to flash TWRP and then flash a root zip. But if you factory reset its going to lock down. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
Downgrading to marshmallow and using a bypass method (even though it's not locked, bypass lets you change the google account) may be your best bet.
Ok so downgrade to 6.0? And then find a frp unlock for marshmallow and then i dont kno how to run the bypass never had a phone with this nonsense ..... As for the root method which root file would i have to get i could then have my brother write a snippet like the old "remove gapps\knox\samsung apps" i doubt the old one i have would even work lol
Lookup FRP bypasses on youtube, there's many methods and at least once will work - it's not a simple process however.
In that TWRP thread I linked is the Super SU flashable zip, or Magisk would be the best root methods.
Hi all,
this is my first post on this forum, I have used XDA many times for various reasons but never had to register because I always found a solution... until now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, non sim locked. This phone used to be my fathers phone, he now has a new phone but he couldn't remember his password from his old Gmail account. He wants to give the phone to his wife, but he has reset the phone without disabling 'find my phone' and now his wife can't access the phone because of FRP lock.
I have done extensive searches and found multiple 'solutions' on how to bypass FRP but none of them has worked so far. That's where I need help.
As I've mentioned before, it's a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, unlocked sim version. It's a device that's made for the Dutch market. As far as I know the phone has been properly updated till two months ago, it has Android Oreo but not sure which security update, it definitely doesn't have the 2018 november update.
Can somebody help me with finding the proper bootloader etc so I can flash the device and my fathers wife can use the phone? That would be much appreciated.
tnx in advance!

Tell him to just reset his password, and log into it then
Of course we've tried it, but with no phonenumber or secondary email attached that's impossible.
Beside that, he wasn't even sure about the account used, has multiple gmail accounts that he doesn't use anymore.
But I've had help through a user who send me a PM, phone is working again.

I have a SM-G930T Galaxy S7 that I can't figure out also.. Seems G**gle has a way of keeping it's security patches installed. I downgraded it to 7.0 succesfully but Odin fails while downgrading to 6.0.1. I was able to bypass my j7 after 3 days of trying various methods till I came up with my own combination. But this S7 has me ready to pay someone else to do it for me. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
binary: samsung official
system status: official
frp lock: on
warranty void 0x0
secureboot: enable
ap swrev: b4(2.1.1.1) k1 s3
secure download: enable
I inherited my late dad's Samsung Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955U1) phone last month.
I ignorantly performed a factory reset without logging out my father's account and triggered the factory reset protection.
I've attempted to bypass the FRP with Odin.
But, I cannot locate the appropriate combination file for the firmware that is installed to perform a FRP bypass with Odin.
The firmware installed is 8.0.0/R16NW/G955U1UES5CRF5
Additionally, I've attempted to downgrade the firmware to Android 7 Nougat with no success.
But, after reading a few articles, I believe the bootloader currently installed (U5) prevents downgrading to Nougat.
The third method I attempted was to load a FRP bypass apk onto a thumb drive and connect it to the phone with a USBa to USBc cable (which I thought was an OTG cable).
Unfortunately, this method was unsuccessful.
Is there a difference between a USBa to USBc and an OTG cables?
My question is what are my options to bypass the FRP lock?
Is there a combination file available for firmware G955U1UES5CRF5?
Should I take the phone to a phone repair facility and see if they can reset the FRP lock?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Joe
Hi All
I have an S7 Exynos with latest Magisk installed and everything has been working flawlessly till I decided this early morning, for not any particular reason(except my increasing amount of grey hair ), to lock the "developer options". I think I have done the same maybe a couple of years ago though cannot remember how I had solved it.
Obviously my phone was instantly locked.
Would someone be able to link a good working solution with being able to keep data and apps? I am a bit desperate as my work is starting again tomorrow.
Thanks a lot.
look at frp bypass
Costum binary blocked by FRP lock is a protection, whene you do a factory reset from recovery. the only way you get this message is with odin.
this one works for me on s7, s7 edge and s6 tab
Thanks @Dagobert
I will have a look at it now and see if it is not too scary. See my S7 FRP

Do you have acces to the phone?

If you have acces to the phone then backup your data do a factory reset. Then you can flash whatever you want. Frp lock is a google protection with a google account. Whene you do a factory reset from settings you wipe the frp.
What is Google FRP?

I have access to the phone via PC/Odin only. No booting as per image above. I wand to keep Data and Apps
I assume I have to flash stock with home csc to be able to enter the phone again? Then root again, if I so wish?
Yup. Maybee a long shot but try Flashing your former firmware with Odin, using HOME_CSC. I think thats the solution
More info on that in this topic
Help! How to flash without losing data?
Good day! My phone got stuck on breathing Samsung logo after my phone updates. Now the only option I have in mind is to restore factory data. But I have some important files in my phone that is very essential in my work. I know I have read that...
forum.xda-developers.com
hmm., done the flashing with the files plus home csc and it asks for password, which I have entered without success. I know the password and it justs does not accept it.
See the factory reset warning and the FRP lock still being on now.
I'm desperately trying to avoid wipping data and apps.
edit: unfortunately I had to format/reinstall as I could not find a workable option.
