SM-T337A Samsung recovery lock removal on T337AUCU2BOH4 firmware can be downloaded here
None of the tutorials I found would allow me to remove the samsung account from this tablet and I have been racking my brain for about 3 days on this one and finally got it figured out, though I would post it here for future.
Please already have ADB downloaded and a samsung account created before you start.
Factory wipe tablet from recovery menu, up+home+power, or reload with ODIN with the files linked above.
When you enter first setup screen hold 2 fingers on the screen until you hear a voice telling you to keep holding, this will make another screen appear. Select exit, it will highlight green, then double tap it, you should be back to the original screen.
Select your language, press once it will highlight, select language, it will turn green outline, then double tap it to select. make sure nothing is highlighted green at this step, selecting language should clear any selections.
Swipe an “L” with you finger on the screen, Start from the top left area and towards the bottom then to the right in an “L” shape.
This will make little half circles appear on the screen, select the lower right corner for settings, this will open the settings screen.
Make another “L” on the screen, this time select the upper left corner half circle and then click ok, it will highlight green, and then tap it twice. this will temp disable the speaking.
Go to about device and tap on build number until you get developer menu, enable USB debug mode, approve connection on tablet when it ask.
Now we need to hide a few things through ADB.
Open your ADB command prompt and type the following:
1. Adb shell <press enter>
2. pm hide “com.osp.app.signin” <press enter>
3. pm hide “com.sec.android.app.SecSetupWizard” <press enter>
Now reboot the tablet by holding the power button and selecting reboot.
It should reboot to an old looking setup screen, go all the way through this process and you should now be at the home screen.
Now we need to root the device with temp root here
After rooting the unit following the previous instructions we need to enable and unhide the Samsung signin app.
In ADB:
1. Adb shell <press enter>
2. Su <press enter>(you may get a pop up on tablet screen asking for permission, click ok)
3. pm unhide “com.osp.app.signin”
4. pm enable “com.osp.app.signin” <press enter>
Now we need to invoke the Samsung signin application so we can put in our information (please have a Samsung account made for this)
in ADB: (skip the first 2 steps if you are already in su prompt)
1. adb shell <press enter>
2. su <press enter>
3. am start –n com.osp.app.signin/com.osp.app.signin.SignInView$ReSignInView <press enter>
You should now see the Samsung loin window open on the tablet, enter your Samsung account information, after everything goes through you should now have access to the tablet and be able to factory reset the device with your information.

Idk if this, "software" update was from Samsung, or Sprint (in the US). But it updated something about the nav bar, and colors? Added a single dot to the nav bar to close it
But now the nav bar stays up on some games, and the new lil dot to close it, isn't there. No matter if I switch the full screen or any option in the gaming menu. Power off and back on etc, nothing. Some games it goes away, but Clash For Dawn, for instance, doesn't.

What you can do is use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to help remove the nav bar from your screen. This will allow you to not see the nav bar until you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. I have also written instructions to remove the status bar also.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HIDING NAV/STAUS BAR
1. Go to Developer Options in settings (on your phone) and turn on USB Debugging. If you don't know how to go to Developer Options, scroll down till you find the instructions I have written.
2. On your PC, navigate to the folder where ADB is installed (for me it is Documents > platform-tools). After that, open a Command Prompt window here (by holding shift and pressing right click in the blank space of the folder). If you do not have ADB installed scroll down till you find the instructions I have written.
3. When you have successfully opened a Command Prompt in the folder, connect your phone to your PC, then an option will appear (on your phone) if you want USB Debugging. Click accept.
4. Go back to the Command Prompt on your PC, and now you have these options: you can either get hide the nav bar, the status bar, or even both.
-If you want to just hide the nav bar, type: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
-If you want to just hide the status bar, type: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
-If you want to hide BOTH nav and status bar, type: adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=*
5. As soon as you hit enter, your phone will apply the changes
6. Enjoy!
IF YOU WANT TO REVERT ANY CHANGES, TYPE: adb shell settings put global policy_control null* INTO THE ADB COMMAND PROMPT!!!!!
HOW TO TURN ON DEVELOPER OPTIONS ON YOUR PHONE
1. Go to Settings
2. Navigate to "About phone"
3. Tap the Build Number seven times
4. Go back and scroll all the way to the bottom
5. Developer Options have been turned on
HOW TO INSTALL ADB ON YOUR PC
1. Go to this link: tr.im/adb
2. Follow the instructions
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW
Well hey there you. What are you doing here? Wanting to tweak your status bar without Root? Well what a coincidence because that's what I'm going to show You ;p
This is an app called Systemui Tuner from the playstore. It's cool because if you're manufacturer has turned off the stock one, this will still work!
To see if your phone has it already, bring down your notification bar and long press the settings icon, it should start spinning and it will open a new option in settings; Sorta like unlocking dev options.
Requirements -1.) A PC, preferably with ADB installed
2.) The app
3.) Your OCD, because I figure that's why you're doing this.
Lets get started! Download the app here
Open the app, and "read" through the setup. It will tell you to enter some commands via adb (unless you're rooted).
Make sure USB debugging is on and plug your phone in. Now go to where ADB is installed and hold shift. While holding shift, right click and select "open command window here"
Now, type "adb devices" to make sure your device shows up.
Now, type the following:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
and
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP
Now, you should be able to mod your status bar and there's a few other cool things in there too
[FRP] ZTE Majesty Pro Z798BL FRP Bypass
(Sorry for the poor write up, it's basically notes from when I did this model quickly. If I get free time I will clean these steps up some so they are more clear and also get ahold of the handset and post additional methods/steps.)
There are multiple ways to do this bypass - here are just a few i came across freestyling. I'll document the others when i get time to lock up one of these phones again (it's a clients so dont have long with it)
1. talkback settings - This was already enabled for me and the chick that did it said she pressed home 3 times quick like on a iPhone. Not sure if that worked or not (i think shes mistaken). I didn't have time to go back and check. The manual and other info out there says to place two fingers on the screen and wait xx amount of seconds. Then talkback would be enabled. Well I have had this handset a handful of times since before this tutorial and i could NEVER get it into Accessibility.. Talkback enabled .. anything. So if someone knows the first step for sure then please post and i'll edit step.
2. help / about. search voice, click on subscribe out pops u to youtube
hit share and a: goto bluetooth and select device / pair mouthpiece or b: goto gmail and enter a email address hotmail or yahoo
3a: turn device off then back on and click till it beeps, say ok google next - enter search string settings hit enter.. goto the 3 lines on the left for settings, click settings and enable in apps boxes, also you could enable the bluetooth settings too but the most importabt thing here is the cards settings. enable these, next search for stock android and launch it. open settings and enable unknown sources, next open google chrome from the apps, search for sidebar apk, install next add these apps (i add all of them incase i need to get back somewhere.. not all are needed though) I add chrome, google, file manager, settings and stock android. next go back to settings then to apps and disable setup wizard and google account manager
3b: goto 3 dots - ? i forget this one so ignore until i remember. lol
3c: goto dialer
4. download dpc test manager 4.0.5 ? run this select device manager hit next then open, lastly goto developer settings oem unlock and usb debugging. goto backup/reset and reset phone. done
3d: (haven't finished) you need to put the phone into "Engineering Mode" first, by dialling *ZTE*OPENEM# (*983*673636#) -- this action will be confirmed by a quick pop-up. To close this mode, dial *ZTE*CLOSEEM# (*983*2567336#) -- this then prompts whether you want to do a Factory Reset, which you do not have to do (you can simply Back away from this screen).
(dont close mode)
go back to dialer and type *983*87274# USBSI USB Switch Test
enable mdm(modem)
-goto cmd, type adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1 (don't remember the outcome)
reboot?
3e: Open uni android tools (if you've got it) and navigate to > UNTESTED

It was very simple for me. For my Z798BL majesty pro i just held down two fingers on open screen till AccessibilityMode came on then swiped my finger from top left down to bottom right(an L shape) across the screen. That opened a menu so I tapped on TalkBack Options (to disable the TalkBack after the TalkBackOptions opened I held down the volume up and volume down Keys till it was disabled) then I scroll down to Help&Feedback clicked on Switch Access Mode question then scroll down to & tapped on the blue words "Turning on Bluetooth" then scroll all the way down to the bottom of that screen to "WasThisArticleHelpful" Yes or No? Tapped on NO, then I typed in anything in the box highlighted it and click on Assist that took me to the Google app then I typed in Chrome because it wouldn't let me download anything from the Google app so I went to the Chrome app then typed in "Test DPC 5.0.4 apk" then I downloaded the Test DCP APK then follow the instructions to install it including update phone's permissions to install unknown source. Clicked on setup new Divice Owner and followed those options til I was done(think just one or two more screens to click on "yes or continue" wasn't hard to figure out from there) when I was done with all that I tapped Back to the Google app typed in Settings clicked on phone settings scroll down to Backup&Reset clicked on reset device then erase everything then turned off my phone and restarted it. And that was it!

Awesome! Glad to hear it worked out for you. =]
All of my recent devices have had the back button on the right of the navbar, or the option to move it. I'm so used to having mine in that configuration that I kept hitting the wrong button so decided to change it, using ADB we can achieve this.
Connect to ADB then use the following commands:
adb shell
settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space,space,space,space,recent;home;back,space,space,space,space"
If you want the buttons spread out a little more, remove a space from either side
sideActions WorkaroundDue to a logcat permission change with Android 13, apps that rely on the logcat like sideActions to get system events are broken. To get sideActions running like normal, it requires enabling one time log access after every reboot. To force the one time log access prompt for sideActions:
1. Download and install Power Button Remapper for Samsung - sideActions. Since the app is incompatible with devices upgraded to Android 13 on the Play Store, the apk will need to be sideloaded manually. Click here to download directly from Apkmirror
2. Launch the app and grant all on screen permissions to get to the Full Remapping setup screen.
3. Either connect to PC and run the .exe file or just run the following ADB commands to unlock full remapping:
pm grant com.jamworks.sidekeybuttonremap android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
pm grant com.jamworks.sidekeybuttonremap android.permission.READ_LOGS
am force-stop com.jamworks.sidekeybuttonremap
IF Bixby is still installed or enabled on your device then also run:
pm disable-user com.samsung.bixby.agent
4. After running the ADB commands or the .exe file from a PC, you will notice Full Remapping is enabled next time you run sideActions. Force Stop sideActions and DISABLE all file access permissions! File access for sideActions is only needed to access the .exe file during remapping. Once you disable it, you shouldn't have to touch it again. Workaround doesn't work while app has file access.
5. Force stopping an app also disables accessibility services. While accessibility is disabled and file access denied/revoked, launch sideActions and enable the power button. You should get a prompt to enable one time access to logs. Accept the prompt and sideActions will be up and running at full. Accessibility services are turned on automatically when you enable power button and grant log access.
NOTE: If the above step doesn't work, restart your device and that should fix it. Step 5 must be completed after every device reboot to grant one time log access. Force Stop the app to stop accessibility services, launch app, toggle button on, prompt: enable one time access. Doesn't take more than 10 seconds. If you don't get the prompt to enable one time access, verify all file access is disabled!
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONSIf taking a few seconds to enable log access after every reboot isn't your cup of tea then your best options are using RegiStar (Good Lock Module) for side button long presses which is a decent alternative. The downside of RegiStar is no double tap action or haptic feedback to indicate when a long press is recognized (sideActions exclusive) which doesn't sound like much, but you'll be surprised by how much you miss it. In addition to side key long press remap, RegiStar also includes Settings Menu reordering and optional double/triple tap actions for back taps (doesn't work well with covers). Another side key remapping option is Routines+ (Good Lock Module) which adds long press and double tap button remapping to Modes and Routines. Routines+ is slow registering key commands and actions compared to all other options listed here. The easiest way to add custom double tap remapping of the side key is through the native Side Key menu under Advanced Settings which is great for launching the camera or any application. You can extend the actions available to you under the Advanced Settings Side Key menu to pretty much anything by launching the Tasker Secondary App on double press which will trigger a profile and launch a task of your choosing within Tasker. I don't know of any support for double tap and hold key combinations outside sideActions. To remap the volume buttons, any 3rd party app including Routines+ can accomplish that.
Is there any alternative application where you don't have to do step 5 after every reboot?
Thank you for the instruction. I think it should be Samsung standard.

Agreed. I don't see how anyone who has tried it doesn't like it. Especially since they got rid of the "Bixby button".
Thank @Dougmeister and @bingblop for now its work perfectly, with the guide.
I am just a newb; @bingblop deserves all of the credit.
I should note for any other folks in my predicament... if you have experimented (and been disappointed) by Samsung's recent attempt to address this via "Good Lock" and "RegiStar", then make sure you have disbled that functionality or the above steps may not work until you do disable them.
(RegiStar: "Side-Key press and hold action", etc.)
Edit: also, I had to navigate to the folder where my adb tools were 'installed' to execute the commands. Plus, I had to add "adb shell " before each of them. Maybe that is obvious to everyone else, but it wasn't to me.
Unfortunately no. No other third party apps have come out that alter the power button on Samsung devices anywhere near as well as sideActions did.
The granting after every reboot is the best we have right now for Android 13 users. It's Googles way of being more privacy and security conscious and Samsung never provides decent alternatives with their software. I personally wouldn't mind using RegiStar if there was a way to speed up the activation time. I like being able to turn flashlight on and off in 350mS which is only that fast in sideActions. Otherwise, it's like a 1000mS.
In fact, if anybody knows how to control the Bixby button long press activation time without sideActions, I'm all ears. I'd love to understand how to alter that time for use with Samsung native apps.
