Hi, a friend of mine brought me the phone of his deceased uncle, they tried to reinstal the rom and got a softbrick I managed to reinstall the latest firmware with ODIN and the OS is functional again. I asked them if they could get the email or something to unlock the phone an they say they don't know it.
Is there an official way to deal with this? Do I have to use some shady program like SamFirm, that gets a trojan alert from Malwarebytes?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried to flash FRP combination files through ODIN? Flash one that's meant for your build number.
OP, this seems to be a common theme for you.

Hi everyone I have looking for hours but I can't find anything on this phone on how to bypass the google account lock. The Phone is from a Pawnshop I work for fixing these things. The phone was sold by a drug addict and he can't rememeber his...

There are good reasons for locking phones out for unwanted users. If the "dead" person had wanted you to have access to their data, they would have left it unlocked.
I wouldn't help you even if I could...

Thank you I never heard of this. I will look into it. I am willing to ask the family to call Samsung to solve this. I can't find the file for my build number. Is there a way to create one from scratch?

Long story short. I'm helping out my colleague who got her phone locked. We ended up factory resetting it, but she's not the most technical, so it seems that every time she's gotten a new phone over the years, she's just created a new gmail-account and forgotten about it.
Then FRP kicked in. Shouldn't be a problem if she just knew her account.. We've found out that she's got at least three accounts, but none of them works. I figure she's got another one, but not one that she could remember. So I have to bypass FRP somehow, otherwise this phone will be an expensive useless brick. :/
It seems it's on build MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPJE.
It's recently updated, so any bypass I've found seems to have been patched. It's usually a good thing, but in this case (she can blame herself, though..) it's a bit sad.
I've tried to downgrade using Odin, but for some reason it fails. I've haven't been able to enable OEM-unlock or enable Developer options.
Any help is appreciated!
She should have some record of which account she used, creating a Google account should ask for a backup email address for recovery, so one of her accounts should have the details of the one she's forgotten
Otherwise unfortunately this could just as easily be "I stole a phone and want to know how to bypass FRP"
Octoplus box and your problem is solved.

I know. At first she couldn't remember the gmail, and after we checked against her phone no. we found two accounts. Checking against her work e-mail, I found another. Unfortunately it was none of them.

All I can suggest is look for tutorials on YT for bypassing FRP for whichever security update that phone was on / downgrade with ODIN to one that has a tutorial (Try leaving out the BL part of the flash if it's failing, and use CSC, not HOME_CSC)
You should definitely be able to downgrade a G930F, I just did with mine from 7.0 Nougat back to 6.0.1 using ODIN 3.12.3
You don't need OEM Unlock or Dev Options / USB debugging for flashing stock with ODIN

Thanks, I'll give it another try later tonight.
Following this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRUp09bXnDA&feature=youtu.be) I didn't have to downgrade anything other than the account manager on 6.0.1 through an .apk. That way I could bypass FRP on the October security patch. She was so happy, and I told her to keep it to this one @gmail-account.
So, problem solved! Thanks for the replies!
Nice one :good:
Hi guys, I thought I just got a heck of a deal when I picked up a 64gb Note 5 for only $75 today off of the app LetGo (kinda like craigslist). The guy I bought it from was very nice and showed me that everything on the phone was in working order and let me use it myself to test it out. I gave him $75 and brought it home only to factory reset it and Google Account lock it in the process. I believe it is currently on 5.1.1, no idea what security update. I tried the FRP bypass that uses Realterm as well as the wifi disconnect method and neither worked. Realterm doesn't seem to be sending the commands to the device. It instead just displays the command I sent in green lettering and nothing else. I am really getting hopeless now. The guy I bought it from wont answer my texts or calls so i can't get his gmail account or anything. I doubt it is stolen or anything due to the fact he gave me the box with the charger, s pen tips, sim tool, and everything. And yes, I checked and the serial number on the box does match the one on the phone. I am about to attempt to use odin to update it to 6.0.1 and see if the Realterm method works then. Does anyone have any ideas? It is for Sprint if that matters. Is it possible to root or flash a custom rom or anything to get passed this? Any help will be so greatly appreciated. This day started out so exciting and now is truly disappointing.
Thanks guys.
Ok, I got it figured out! I had to use odin and downgrade to N920PVPU2AOI6. Then downgrade bootloader to SM-N920P_OK3_BOOTLOADER. Then was able to insert a flash drive with the Google Bypass USB OTG.apk app on it into my phone. It automatically opened My Files when inserted, then I installed to app and bypassed it. The only thing now is in Download mode it still says "FRP lock: On" Although it seems to be fully functional and currently has my google account on it.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Glad you got your phone working, there are several guides on bypassing FRP on xda that may remove this message if you want to try them

So I had this S7 my father brought me to fix and appearently it has frp lock.
I followed some instructions and ended up installing this COMBINATION [COMBINATION_FA60_G930FXXU5ASD2]) from a website i cant link because i'm new here (hardreset dot info)
What happened is that i can boot into this factory binary > settings > enable usb debugging, but when i try to flash a new firmware i get only fails from odin. I guess it's because of FRP lock.
I've tried to flash other combinations, but the only thing that works is that particular version that i cant find anywhere else on internet ( COMBINATION_FA60_G930FXXU5ASD2 ).
Can anyone give me a hand? I'll ask to every question you need. Thanks a lot. :fingers-crossed:

Once you flash a firmware that works delete the ****ing Google account off the phone. Can't believe how many people mess about with phone without learning the basics. FRP lock is a mother ****er to solve but there's loads of guides.

Trust me there's no account to delete. I've followed lots of guides, all of them dont work because i cant flash anything into the phone for some reason.
Greetings, ever since i tried rooting my phone, i knew something went wrong (i used cf autoroot).
So the first thing i noticed, i was asked to reset the phone or something similar to that, meaning i would lose all my data.
I tried to find a workaround as this had never happened to me before while rooting a phone, and someone had said that i was supposed to download twrp
and change some partition and then change it back. I dont remember what else he mentioned and what exactly i tried doing, i realised it was formatted either way and i had to start fresh. As i setup my phone i went and switched the oem unlock back to "off", as i did not wanna attempt to root again, but i hadn't realised that my phone was infact rooted sucessfully, leading me to my first error after restarting. "Custom binary blocked by frp lock", with absolutely no access to recovery mode at all anymore. Again, trying to find a workaround, i download some stockfirmware that i atleast had hoped was the right one for my phone, after a couple failed attempts of flashing with odin, ( i had gotten various different error messeges on download mode screen such as (REV Check fail device 7 binary 0 and others witch i cannot remember), now im getting a new error screen, stating that an error has occured while updating the device software. I cant flash twrp recovery as the frp lock is on, and the only thing i can guess is that im flashing the wrong firmware, but i cant find a matching code at all.
Its the following: sm-g930fzkadbt
IMEI: 35214310282955
on the back of the phone it says uk yateley, although the phone was purchased in germany.
Im not sure what to do anymore, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I have managed to get back to the old error screen with the custom binary info, this time with bootloop, by checking the deviceinfo box on odin
Yep you've now learned the hard way not to mess about and read the proper guides.
Anyway "dbt" is just unbranded german firmware. Download UK "BTU" and flash with Odin, it's UK unbranded.
FRP lock means you'll need to unlock the phone with the google account and password that was on it before you started messing about with it.
If you don't know the google email and password you need to read up on how to bypass FRP lock and it's a nightmare.

Thanks for your reply, just a question, will any btu update work? Should i download latest android version btu firmware?
(Also yes, it was stupid of me to try and do it quick but i had rooted 3 different samsung galaxy phones in the past without issues, either i did something wrong or it took something way too specific to do the job, perhaps the phone's unrootable, but thank you either way) :fingers-crossed:

You'll likely only find the last version of BTU think it was August 2019. It isn't updated officially anymore but it'll be fine to use.

OK so i thought it worked but i can only enter recovery mode now and download mode, but cant actually boot the system, it just boots up the battery screen whenever i plug the charger, and never shows the actual battery info, just the thunder icon. Formatting from recovery mode doesn't help either (Note whenever i launch recovery mode it says installing update, then says no command and brings me to the recovery menu) Any ideas?
PS: It fixed itself. Sorry for the pointless edit.
I don't know if it's permitted or not but I'm in search of the system firmware so if anyone could help I'd be grateful. I know it's unreleased but let's just say I've got the prototype lying around. Thanks in advance.
Doesn't exist. Ideally, you would dump the firmware yourself from the phone.
Now that the phone is released, stock images should be available soon here:
Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices | Google Play services | Google for Developers

Since Google bricked your phone remotely with the hardware ID (since you got one of the dev models before release), it will be quite difficult to get it running again, a simple firmware flash will probably not do the trick.
And even if you'd manage to get a firmware running, you will not be able to go online, since Googles system has flagged your hardware ID and just brick it again. The only hope you have really is to wait for a custom kernel/OS and use that, IF you can actually manage to flash any sort of data on that phone. Was the bootloader still locked when Google bricked your device?

No it was never locked to begin with. Does this mean even original stock firmware( when released) won't work?

That is highly likely, but don't let me stop you from trying. Maybe you will have success. Also keep your eyes out for the Android Flash tool or the Pixel Repair tool, once Google updates them for the P7 Pro. Big companies usually not have all the tools interconnected, so chances are that the Repair tool won't check for blacklisted hardware IDs, it's just important that under no circumstances you may connect to the Internet with that thing, IF you manage to get it running and as long as it runs stock.
