I need help with a hacked possibly hidden root phone attack & i really don't know muc
I felt my phone was 'hacked', it was echoing during calls, getting really hot, passwords & secret questions on my emails were being changed, FB password changed & picture login disabled etc. etc. I BELIEVE my device Samsung J1mini is rooted HOWEVER somehow hidden cas most apps say it's not rooted but I found a hidden /root file & Superuser was only to be granted access with 'android.permissions', ok explaining it best I can. I also have PC Acer Laptop. USB ports disabled won't charge my phone. ESET picked up a virus but it disappeared b4 I could press Y to delete. Renamed I believe. The top of windows go green when I click in them the same person said Crypto something which he explained as ransomware but I've had no demands & drive has been wiped so many times there is nothing to hold to ransom. I seriously need help. Just bought a Huawei Y9 Elite LYO-02 but it's only 4 weeks old, got a new sim with new number & EXACTLY same things are happening again. So I factory reset it (whilst off) cas a password I didn't put there prevented me from phone factory resetting it. Now I'm stuck on the gmail screen & NONE of my emails work. I've watched you tube videos on how to bypass this screen but no success yet. I asked someone I didn't know very well to help & he installed Terminux/Linux on my phone & told me it was just underneath my phone he accessed, what I now realize is he was most likely setting it up so he could remote control it from his PC or IPhone 6 & he had to install Linux. I hate liars.... now wondering instead of helping he saw an opening & made the hole bigger & this guy does IT. HELP! Please be kind. I wanna boot whoever is in out & take control by rooting phone myself. And taking admin privileges back on my Acer. I am administrator but u wouldn't think so. It's running Windows 8.1.
Urgent replies please. This whole thing is doing my head in. But I'm smart & willing to learn. Someone patoent please Show Me the Light lol
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question/device on XDA forum. Try a Google search first or contact the manufacturer for stock firmware and flashing instructions.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
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

Hi all,
My device: Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F running 6.0.1)
So I've been dealing with Samsung tech support for the last week and believe it or not, things have just gone from bad to much, much, much worse. I am now completely & entirely locked out of my phone (which is running stock firmware).
Background: I wanted to change my Samsung account details (that I've had for nearly 10yrs) from an old email address to another new email account I had. From a combination of reading a few forums & following instructions throughout the actual process on my phone, it turns out that I obviously mad a bad choice. Long story short, I eventually got back to normal and had full access to my phone again, but under 'Settings' > 'Lock screen & security', my 'Reactivation lock' was now enabled (even though I hadn't changed or updated any firmware - only changed my samsung account) and I couldn't slide it to 'off' - even with my correct Samsung Account details?
From speaking to Samsung tech surrport, they said that the changes made to my Samsung email address most likely corrupted some protected file (boot file perhaps, I don't know) and that maybe a trace of my original Samsung account was still on the phone somewhere and now that I was after trying another - they conflicted and were causing me problems. In short, the tech guy said that "the problem is embedded in your software and you will need to do a full factory reset".
The problem (as I explained it to him) was that even with my correct Samsung account details (which he could verify because he remote connected to my phone), (a) I couldn't disable 'reactivation lock' before any factory reset and (b) I couldn't remove the existing Samsung account from my phone before doing so either. I even tried logging onto findmymobile.samsung.com on my PC (which I could do no problem) and tried to disable reactivation lock, but again - it wouldn't allow me to, it just kept sliding back to the 'on' position? The tech support guy proceeded to do an 'emergency recovery & initialization' via the Smart Switch app to reset my device, but now I'm stuck at the initial setup screen (select language, WiFi, etc. and then it comes to my Samsung account details and now it says; "this device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset, etc." However, here's the stickler that even has Samsung tech support baffled........ Despite knowing my samsung account credentials (email address & password), it keeps telling me "processing failed". Whether I try the new details or the old/original ones, I get the same 'processing failed' message! As above, I am assuming this is because there is corrupt Samsung account info in some protected boot file or something, because of two different Samsung accounts I used.
As I am locked out, there is not much I can really do to resolve this. I have researched a lot and I have two queries I am hoping some genius here knows about. (1) Is there not a way to obtain and flash a complete set of original 'everything' to my phone in download mode? (i.e. availing of the 'BL', 'AP', 'CP', 'CSC' functions within Odin?) I am used to inputting files in AP for flashing .tar files for either custom stuff or original firmware, but I have never messed with any of the other options and don't even know where to find the files to put into each 'field' if it was a viable option. If this method is not a way of completely wiping my phone back to the day it came out of the box, what is the method to do this? (2) I have come across a thing called GSM Flasher while doing some research. Not the standalone FRP remover tool which I tried but doesn't work, but the full suite tool. i.e. The one with the cat wallpaper which has Miracle 2.27A, Eagle Eye 2.27A, Aladdin v2 1.34 & 4SE 2.0.4. To the untrained eye, this looks like it could do practically anything to recover any phone, but I am finding it quite hard to come across a decent instructional website or video (in English) on YouTube and/or to determine if it will work and do the job?
Has anyone any ideas about how I go about getting into whatever boot or protect files there are on my phone (that a factory reset doesn't touch) and a way to remove everything and then replace it with original stuff so that I can get ride of this corrupted samsung account issue?
Would really appreciate if anyone who has more know-how than Samsung tech support can weigh-in with some help.
Thanks in advance.
After 10 years I really should know the answer, but I don't, and the XDA search function still doesn't work for me.
My N5 has a broken SIM tray. I bought an eBay broken-screen N5 and put this motherboard into mine. It asks for a PIN, which I obviously don't have (understandable that the seller couldn't remove the account, since the screen was totalled).
I've asked the seller for the PIN, but personally I'd be reluctant in his shoes.
Is there a workaround? I've seen the YouTube video (factory reset, settings, enable bootloader unlock, etc.) but that looked as if it was on an Android 5 device and I'd be surprised if Google haven't closed the loophole.
In the absence of a PIN, any suggestions? I've seen a suggestion that the seller could remove the device from Google via his PC - would that work?
(Edit: No, the seller says that the device doesn't appear on his Google device list.)
Thank you...
Update to prevent anyone spending time trying to think of a way to help...
In fact for reasons which appear to go against everything I've read about FRP I was able to use Fastboot to boot TWRP and factory reset the device, after which I was able to install CrDroid. Maybe it's because the device was on Android 6, too old for FRP to be a problem.
Anyway, bottom line, all ok now.
Hi everyone,
First of all, sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
My brother gave me his Samsung Galaxys A50 stating that he couldn't remember his lock screen password and wanted me to fix it. Maybe that's where I ****ed up, but I went straight into recovery mode and wiped to factory reset. Note: there was no USB Debugging or OEM Unlock options active. The phone booted back up and, as usual, I had to enter my Google credentials so that it can verify my identity and let me continue with the setup process. It prompted me to 2FA and I first inserted the code I received on the phone number associated to the Goggle account. Then, it send another code on my brother secondary address mail linked to the first's one. But the email never arrived. It didn't matter how many times I tried refreshing the page or searching into every Gmail folder, the email was nowhere to been seen. And as if it wasn't enough, the primary mail address was locked because of too many tries. I tried everything, using ADB from the recovery is obviously working only for adb sideload and not for adb shell. Neither does fastboot work, as it can't even recognize the phone in Download mode because it is still locked. I even tried flashing directly TWRP with Odin but it still wouldn't work, again because of the bootloader being locked. Odin gets stuck on the NAND write part. I searched for a way to unlock the bootloader/root/enable USB debugging from adb but can't seem to find anything. I found 2 ways to bypass Google FRP but it needs adb shell or the Google keyboard. But Samsung phones have their OEM keyboard and can't, apparently, change it to Google.
Tried to get assistance from Google but, at least in my country, you need to pay to have it.
I think my only option, if doable, is to try to find a way to flash a stock rom and pray that it won't lock the phone with FRP.
Does anyone of you know of any solutions or advice I could use?
Have I to admit defeat and pay Google, hoping that the assistance is good enough to resolve the issue?
Should I just throw it into the bin and forget about it?
Thanks to everyone who helps.
Google it.
Almost everyday we get a new member asking this. While some of the inquiries might be legitimate others are not. My dead dad, brother, aunt's phone, whatever. It's a poor start entering the forum like this, in my opinion.
All the last owner needed to do was to delete their Google account from the phone and none of this would happen. Consequences.

As I said in the post, I know all the credentials used to log in the phone, I have the phone number which was linked to the Google account and the secondary mail address linked to the primary one. So, this should be enough to prove that my inquiry is legitimate.
Also, "Google it" makes me think you haven't really read what I wrote. As I said, there seems to be not a single answer.
Third and last point, how tf was I supposed to remove the Google account if the phone was locked by the forgotten pin?
Yes, this type of inquiry is surely blasonated, but insinuating that I stoled the phone without even reading the rest of what I wrote surely isn't going to help anyone, don't you think?
Having said so, if you don't have no way to help just shush.
As @blackhawk recommended it: GOOGLE FOR A SUITABLE FRP-UNLOCK TOOL. It exists for Samsung devices, too.
