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

cany help in 2020 S7 Att frp removal PLEASE
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.
Device: G920P
Binary: Samsung Official
Unable to bypass FRP, and I have attempted flashing every stock firmware via every Odin release from 3.10 to the most current update, to include a rather desperate shot in the dark where I checked the nand erased, efs, and bootloader options, all to no avail.
To assuage any misgivings, I am quite well aware of the moral quandaries associated with this sort of issue. As it happens, I share them. This phone was found in a friend's storage locker, among her (admittedly shady) ex-husband's effects. I have checked the IMEI status (clear,) and made repeated attempts to contact the current owner of the phone number I found on the SIM card. Nothing. So, I am at a loss for what to do next.

Sell it on ebay "for parts or repair, wont turn on, good LCD".
P.S. "FRP" means reactivation lock, right? Samsung account? Or Google account?
FRP is an acronym for "Factory Reset Protection," and I've only ever encountered it with Google accounts. Samsung claims to have the ability to bypass it on their support page, but I'm taking this as a challenge.

Ok, then it's simpler.
Google for the "frp via adb" and read, find and flash a combination rom for your device and do the job.
Not a bad challenge. You'll have some fun.
But I've had much more when disabling reactivation lock (Samsung account) on SM-G920V bought on ebay
Hello all,
I know already that this might not be possible but I have to ask anyways. My father recently passed away unexpectedly and he has just recently bought a galaxy flip 4 (before he had a galaxy S21).
Now he still has some photos on there he recently took (Google backup is off).
I already tried unlocking the phone via Samsung find my phone but I always get the message, that the function is not enabled in the phone.
Same goes for the S21 which I also can not unlock.
The time between unlocks is already at 48h because I've tried all the numbers I could find around the house.
Is there a possibility of either:
1. Unlock the device by rooting or patching a file in recovery mode or someway else?
2. Is it possible to enable the unlock function for find my phone somehow?
3. Is it possible to reset the counter for failed unlock attempts? Because I have the feeling it has no upper limit and will just double in time forever... I may find the correct pin eventually but I need more tries.
If any of the above is possible for the S21 then this would work too because he just switched phone 2 days before he passed and the files are still pretty much identical.
If you can help and need proof of possession or anything from me to proof that this is indeed the phone of my dad please write me a pn.
I would really love to have the last pictures taken ...
I'm so sorry about your loss. I have great news! I've recently had to bypass the FRP Google lock and after many hours of research, I was able to finally find a reliable program that was free and free of viruses. I can confirm it works on the Flip4 because that's the phone I used it on. https://samfw.com/blog/samfw-frp-tool-1-0-remove-samsung-frp-one-click

SamFw Tool 4.7.1 - Remove Samsung FRP one click
Hi Today, we introducing SamFw FRP Tool version 4.7.1 Main function: Remove FRP with one click Change CSC with one click Remove FRP for new se...
samfw.com
Thanks a lot, I will give it a try!
@melymoon
I've tried this tool but I can't get into the engineering mods by entering the code into the emergency call pad.
Therefore the tool doesn't detect my phone.
It is also not recognized if I go to ADB update in the recovery menu.
How did you do it?
I got you, do you have time right now? I can work on it with you before my kid wakes up
You don't need the engineering service menu right right now, to remove the lock. I'll walk you through it.
I have a z flip 4 5g and I'm locked out of it and I cannot factory reset it and I do not have on USB debugging. Is there a way to enable USB debugging on locked z flip 4?
Can't you just factory reset it in the recovery menu?
I thought the whole idea of this post was to save the data? Everything mentioned here pretty much is gonna wipe the phone. Which leads to all that's trying to be done is bypass factory reset protection. If you have death certificate you can get Google and samsung to release the locks accordingly and it can be factory reset from the recovery menu.
From there. Frp bypass is a very gray area on xda and most people will not help.
