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

Hey guys, it's Latrell.
So I know the solution is already on XDA, but there isn't a proper forum on it, and couldn't find a solution.
So I bricked my Gear S3 frontier (T-Mobile) (SM-R765T) and I'm still trying to find the proper firmware, but at least I can flash it. I was worried that at first I couldn't and I'd have to wait for Samsung to fix it, which would probably be around 2 weeks. And I'm impatient. At least I have my T-Mobile Gear S2 classic and Gear Fit2...
Now if you have the latest (or a flashable firmware that isn't the testing firmware, which I have, so if you need to at least get your Gear S3 started somewhat, let me know and I'll upload it) let me know. I have firmwares, but I'm still flashing them to see which one is the right one. So far no luck...
But I bricked my Gear S3 frontier trying to downgrade from Tizen 3 (specifically 3.0.0.1) because the previous version seemed smoother, but obviously that wasn't a good idea...
Anyways, enough with the rambling... let me show you how to get back to wireless download on your Gear S3 classic or frontier. It's pretty easy.
Step 1: Press and hold onto the power button until it says rebooting, then press the button about 3-5 times, and stop when you get into a menu.
Step 2: Scroll to the Download (Wireless) option until it's green by pressing the power button, then press and hold onto the option until you get the Tizen logo (the blue flower looking thing.)
Step 3: Now here's the part that's going to save you. Press and hold onto the power button for 2 seconds, then let go and press and hold for 1 second. Then repeat until you see "Searching for AP"
Step 4: Double press the power button, and you should see the "Wait for AP connection", and you're done!
EDIT: For the people asking about the "Google FRP lock" even though it's Samsung reactivation lock and you can't sign into a Google account on there, you need the login info or try to reset your password. Samsung has that stuff locked down and you can't pass it.
Now you can use the firmware you've been hunting the internet for.
I hope this helped everybody.
This is what I know... about SM-R765T
The ""good"" news:
Only 3 Firmware versions public released:
Code:
R765TUVU[COLOR="Green"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]CQL1/R765TTMB3CQL1/R765TUVU3CQL1
R765TUVU[B][COLOR="Green"]3[/COLOR][/B]BQI2/R765TTMB3BQI2/R765TUVU3BQI2
[COLOR="Red"][B]R765TUVU2AQA6/R765TTMB2AQA6/R765TUVU2AQA6[/B][/COLOR]
The red marked Version is obsolete... because Samsung Rollback Prevention.
This version is free available here in XDA.
I have also second Firmware with Software Revision 1... free available but also obsolete...
Short summary.
Software Revision 1 free available BUT obsolete.
Software Revision 2 free available BUT obsolete.
We need Software Revision 3 :good:
But I can not find it as free Download... only on paid sites... for money.
To check Software Revision on your device...
Check Odin Screen... example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Code:
AP SWREV: B:
1
or
2
or
3
But as you wrote Tizen 3... you have Software Revision 3... as Bootloader sboot.bin is written...
Only as info.
Best Regards

Hi
i have opened the watch and connected 4 cables and flashed with watch. so now I have stack in FRP and google account. Do you know how to remove it.

You must mean reactivation lock. FRP is Google's lock. And reactivation lock is Samsung's lock.
But as far as I know... no. There's no way to bypass it. It's as tough if not tougher than the iCloud lock. There may be a solution on YouTube but I'm not sure.

Hi, sorry to revive this thread, but once in Wireless download mode and i change the AP mode to SM-R770-A301. How do i get it to connect to my Wifi? i have a google onhub router. Reason im asking is because this thing is stuck on a bootloop and wont perform a reset after selecting recovery on the reboot mode screen.
Edit: nevermind, i figured it out, the watch becomes the AP, duh, stupid me, blonde moment.
habibanwari said:
No, I flashed the watch now. and its asking me to reactivate the google lock. but I don't know the google ID and password. Can you help me to bypass it. :crying:

Google ID and password? On your Samsung watch?
habibanwari said:
HI, I am not able to use the watch, as because after restarting first I need to activate it bypass the google activiation lock. its asking me to activate with the ID that was used in first place.
So can you see if there is a way to bypass google.
I have flashed it with a combination file and I can connect it to wifi and can turn on debagging. :angel:

Does anybody have the latest Gear s3 R760 software (3.0 or later)?
Thanks in advance!!!
Can anyone help me on this one issue? I have the proper software, netodin, got into wireless download mode but on two separate laptops the watch WILL NOT show up as a network I can connect to. I have a demo store unit and need to get a proper stock ROM running so I can get samsung pay going but am having a really hard time for some reason. Any ideas?

Thank you for your post, I have the same problem with a Galaxy Watch SM-R800 , after I have written a combination file I can't get the "Wait for AP connection" message (Can't get throw Wireless Download step, as I did before with pressing power button twice... watch got briked)...heard that there is a usb cable with the connection on the side of the watch near the bracelet but I can't find it to buy or a pinout to make it

Check this Video:

But before check this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wireless-mode-enter-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3710855/
You can try the trick with Keys... hold release blabla...
Or if the first WPS Mode is stable... you could look into Document... of netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Somewhere is text how "they" use WPS Mode...
Maybe this helps you...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So I flashed today and i had the wrong version.
Now I cant get to waiting for ap. I can get logo up but when i hold power for one sec repeatedly watch just turns off.

More infos... what where when?
Nobody has Crystal Ball...
You have what?
SM-R765A for USA ATT or something "else"...
Firmware packages have funny names aka file names for better identification...
If this is not Top Secret... maybe tell what you have flashed...
Example.
Code:

This is 1 of 4 files from Tizen 4 DSA1 Firmware package for SM-R765A ATT...

Hi friend. I flashed combination level 1 or bit 1 to my gear successfully using wireless Odin. But now watch is bricked does not turn on, it goes off after Samsung logo. If I try wireless mode it goes off also after a while on the blue flower page, does not show WPS or AP mode, after while then power off itself. Only stable thing is Odin mode. I am not good in soldering. I don't want to damage watch. It is R760 model. I have firmware file, bit 2 also combination file bit 1 and 2. But I flashed successfully bit 1 combination. Maybe I should have flashed bit 2 ?
If you have a port on the side of the watch with the 5 pins underneath it, you can use the circuit board from the inside of the charger of the original Gear S to connect via USB and flash firmware via Odin (not NetOdin). I've done this for a few different watches that I have bricked while testing different firmwares.
If your watch does not have the port, just use the back casing of one that does.. the pins on the motherboard are all the same. It's just a matter of having the port to be able to connect via USB without trying to manually connect loose wires.
Hi guys,
I have the SM-R500 and I was trying to update the firmware using NetOdin, I could solve it, first with the AP installation.
Then I was able to turn on the device, all good...but then on the step to connect my smartwatch to the wireless (to change the region), and the smartwatch don't find any wireless network...
Then I was trying to do a new installation using NetOdin and when I'm facing the download (wireless screen) I'm facing the attach file error..."wd_cm_setup_ap: Failed to run soft AP -1"
Can anyone have a clue to solve one of the two situations?
Thank you so much in advance.
I‘m stuck on this screen without the possibility to go to AP mode. Any solutions?

So, I basically got my Gear S3 Frontier from UAE and it had Samsung Pay installed in it but I never tried using it, on coming to India I realised I should change my CSC to INU for better compatibility in Samsung pay.. but doing so just made my Samsung Pay to disappear off of my watch.. on more research I found out that Samsung pay for gear was never officially launched in India... Which is weird because it has been quite some time since Samsung pay was launched in India.. people use it on their phones. Anyways, back to the topic I switched my CSC again to XAR and got back the Samsung pay app however, it doesn't support any of the cards that I have also, it asks for 5 digit zip codes while adding cards whereas India has 6 digit zip codes. Does anyone have any idea or would like to suggest any other CSC which might support more Indian cards? Also, any news on whether Samsung plans to release SPay on gear in India?

I have the same issue, but only with Citibank. They refuse to allow authentication unless the proper 6 digit pincode has been inputted.
I might have a solution, but it requires someone to test it out..Link below

This is the method I used to change the CSC code on my SM-R760 to an Australian code with a view to setting up Samsung Pay. It took a little hunting around the forums to find all of the information, plus I ran into a few things while I was doing it that didn't seemed to be mentioned elsewhere so I thought I would summarise it all below for us noobs.
All credit to the experts, in particular @adfree
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
------------------------
NetOdin3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Combination Firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74600026&postcount=26
Your current stock firmware (in my instance, R760XXU2BQC5)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Your CSC code
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
A PC with a WiFi connection
INSTRUCTIONS:
----------------
1. Check reactivation lock is off
- On your phone, go to Samsung Gear App
- Go to Setttings Tab, choose "Find my Gear"
- Make sure Reactivation Lock is off
2. Connect your watch to your PC
- Hold down the home/power button until you see the "rebooting" screen
- Release the home/power button then quickly press it three times to bring up the boot menu
- Quick press the home/power button to cycle through the menu to "Download (wireless)"
- Long press the home/button to confirm the menu selection
- The phone will then go into WPS mode
- Double press the home/power button to change to AP mode
- On your PC, enable WiFi and connect to the access point on you watch.
NOTE: Until you successfully connect to NetOdin, your watch may display red text stating "Connection Timeout" - this is OK
- Open up NetOdin. You should now be connected to your watch (you should see the IP in the NetOdin window and "Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx" on your watch face.
NOTE: I had to disable Windows Defender public firewall temporarily for NetOdin to work properly
3. Flash combination firmware
- Load the unzipped .tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 10 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
NOTE: I had left "Automatic reboot" ticked in Odin, so once it completed the watch restarted. No issue, except had to go through step 2 to reconnect the watch to the PC before proceeding to the next step
4. Flash CSC file from stock firmware
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 1-2 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
5. Factory reset
- In your Gear, go to Settings > Gear Info > Reset Gear > Confirm
NOTE: I got a warning at this stage that Reactivation Lock was on. Don't know why I got this message as I had definitely turned it off in step 1. I ignored it (no guts, no glory!) and was fine. Your mileage may vary
6. Set CSC code
- In the Gear, go to the Tizen Keystring app
NOTE: screenshots of what your interface will look like https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74591475&postcount=13)
- Type in the following code exactly: *#272*719434266344#
- You will be taken to a list of CSC codes that you can scroll through. Find the code you want to change to and select it. I used "XSA".
7. Reflash complete current stock ROM
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped AP_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped BL_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "BL" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Click "Start". This should take about 15 minutes to complete after clicking "OK".
You are done!
After this, my Gear picked up the OTA update to Tizen 3.0.0.1
So after all of this effort, NAB doesn't currently support Samsung Pay, so I can't 100% confirm this will work, but everything I've read says it should.

I got Gear S3 delivered from Amazon yesterday in India since I was desperate about SPay I tried and followed above method to change CSC and enable SPay. Everything went smooth but now it says "unauthorized modifications have been made to this device". I guess Knox has been tripped. I don't know how, But Samsung Health is working fine.
Now I have requested for a replacement of the same device from Amazon. Can anybody let me know the safest method to enable spay on Indian Gear Device?
Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier
Was in Tizen 3 and got updated to Tizen 4 after combi flash and CSC change.
Gear Model: R760.

Use this method instead to change CSC.. what phone are you using? Make sure you pass safety net and also hide all Samsung apps using magisk hide if you're rooted

I have the same issue, but only with Citibank. They refuse to allow authentication unless the proper 6 digit pincode has been inputted.
I might have a solution, but it requires someone to test it out..Link below

Any luck with this so far? My theory is that it's not just the country code because of which some Indian cards fail to get added, it is possible that it checks the list of approved banks based on the region that is set which is why cards used only in India fail to get added as they are not intentionally recognised despite having spay support in India
I am able to use Samsung Pay in India with CSC change method, but I can only able to add HDFC , Others showing not supported , please contact bank [emoji10]

I have SM-R800 with default/US CSC. I want to use it with Indian credit card. What CSC do you have on your device?
Hello, as of many have faced the same issue by now, i searched alot and couldnt find a fix to my problem,
i have bought a samsung gear s3 frontier some time ago, i have ordered it from ebay "UK" i think and it was shipped to me in sweden, i discovered that my watch doesnt have samsung pay so i searched a little and there was few suggestions which none worked, so i left the watch as it is hoping it will be added next update or so.
yesterday i saw a video talking about installing a combination firmware using odin software and then pull some files and edit them using note book, i searched for combination firmware for my R760 watch and there was kernel 1 and 2 i didnt know which one to use to i downloaded 1 and used it on the watch , odin said it was successful but i got an error on the watch saying something about kernel 2 security and ofc error booting, i tried to search for the stock firmware to return the watch to work but the boot option/ wireless download gets stuck on the flower logo and stays there "didnt reach the stage where i need to click twice to enter AP mode, after many reboots and trying i got the watch to enter AP mode but the background was blue not black as it use to be, i ignored that and added another stock firmware which said fail on odin at 45% and it said old software resoted because it was failed,
Now im stuck at odin mode, every time i try to enter wireless download mode the watch just stays on the flower logo and thats it nothing, i tried the 2 sec hold power 1 sec release thingy and it didnt work no matter how many times i try,
the worst is the watch is not charging now and every time i switch it on it show booting and switch off again b4 i can do anything, and when i put it on the charging station, the station give me a red blinking light which means its not charging,
Watch : Gear s3 frontier SM-R760
on the download mode i remember it say software : official and locking is disabled
i would appropriate if i can restore the watch as it was b4 even without and samsung pay, i dont want to throw a 300£ watch for a software issue, please help me .
Gear S3 stuck at odin mode
Hi! i am having the same issue! Now whenever I place the watch on the dock it just shows the little bolt and does not charge at all.
ir you find any solution, could you please let me know?
Hi everyone.
I recently bought a Galaxy Watch running Tizen 4.0.0.7 out of the box, and I wanted to use Samsung Pay with it.
So, I tried changing the region (CSC) using the sdb method mentioned previously on this forum. Unfortunately, I've then read and verified it doesn't work on 4.0.0.7.
Then I tried using NetOdin to downgrade my firmware, but the connection times out after 20 seconds and I fear the flash will be incomplete and I could brick my watch.
I also read something about tapping into the access pins on the back and connecting a cable, but I'd rather not mess around with the watch's internals.
Any ideas on how to fix the timeout, or another method I could use to change the CSC?
Your time and attention are much appreciated.
