Please accept my sincere apologies if my question has been answered before on the forums, I have tried google and searching the forums but can't find the answer.
My handset is a Samsung Galaxy s9+ which has never been rooted was on stock Android 9. I enabled native call recording using a THL sim which set my active CSC to THL/XEU/EVR. The Android 10 rollout for THL has not happened yet so I decided to dirty flash Android 10 using ODIN.
The flash has broken some apps which I know can be fixed by performing a factory reset, but before I proceed I wanted to know if my biometrics will be backed up to my Google Account? Basically some of my apps use fingerprint authentication would these be saved and restored or would I have to setup fingerprint authentication again?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Hi,
i'm posting here, because I don't know what exactly my problem is.
I factory reseted an android smartphone (samsung galaxy core prime) through the recovery menu.
The bad thing is that the device was synced with a google account, that hasn't been deleted before the reset.
When I want to setup the clean phone, i get asked to login with the previous google account. But when I do, it says the account is the wrong one.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure its the correct one, because I can see the device under "Recently used Devices" in my google account. But i can't delete it there... probably because the account is not set up on the phone.
Now my question: Could i solve the problem if I flash a custom ROM on the phone? I already tried it with a Stock ROM for T-Mobile, but it didn't change anything.
Hope you guys can help me out!

You won't be able to even flash a custom recovery on a FRP locked device.
There's ways to get around FRP lock, check out rootjunky.

Hey folks;
tl;dr question: Wife changed her password after factory reset, now locked out of her phone for 24 hours. Is there a way to bypass, if the account is the same but only password changed?
Long version:
Wife did ota with Nougat and was getting a lot of errors, etc. Decided that a factory reset on her S7 was a good idea to get a fresh install of everything.
Did a factory reset, and of course during the setup after the reset the first 5 or 6 variations of her Google password didn't work. We could have kept trying variations, but the "Forgot Password" link was too inviting, and seemed like the easier route rather than trying the various variations of various passwords she uses.
Did the password reset using the Android dialog box. The password reset worked, as she is now able to use her Google account on the PC with no issues on the new password.
Problem is, she gets a popup message on the device that she has to wait 24 hours before trying the phone's account again. Is there a way to bypass this? We are using the existing account locked to the phone, just a different password. Again, she can successfully use the new password on other non-resetted devices.
Really, if we were aware that an account already tied to the device could be locked out with a password change during the reset process we would have waited, as my wife needs her phone as she drives at night for work. A warning during the reset would have been nice.
If there is not one for the current version of Android security update, then check YT for tutorials on older versions, flash one of them and follow the tutorial to bypass FRP
whats the model number of your phone?

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.

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.
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.
