I tried renovating my old S8+ device for my kid, after being shelved for over a year.
It was rooted, got TWRP and a custom rom.
I thought I'd give it to her fresh, after getting it updated and wiped. So I found a rom, copied, booted TWRP, wiped and installed.
After the first reboot, I got hit by FRP block.
Now, in order to somehow manage to get this phone running a custom rom, what's the order of things?
I assume I'll have to reflash stock with Odin. Then what? Reflashing TWRP and running the same process? Won't this get me blocked again?
EDIT:
Happened again!
Reflashed stock, got everything working, unlocked bootloader, installed Lineage over a fresh device via TWRP, Magisk and everything.
Added a Google account, restarted and boom, "custom binary blocked by frp lock".
So frustrating! How can I get rid of this pesky feature? Spent all morning bringing the phone back to speed...

All i can suggest is once your phone is up and running is delete all accounts, delete/disable any pattern/passwords, delete/ disable find my phone then reboot and check that there is no accounts, password/pattern etc.
Optional - you can then factory reset phone through the OS, not recovery.
If all ok enable OEM Unlock in developers menu then boot into download mode.
In download mode it should show ( based on Exynos Variant )
OEM lock - off
FRP - off
KG and/or RMM state - checking/normal ( or disappeared )
If these conditions above are met then you can flash twrp, custom roms and root etc
If successful restart phone - skip as much of the setup as you can. You can change all settings and add accounts after the setup.
Note:
Once you've modify you phone do not try to re-lock the bootloader - FRP will kick in again.
Hy, I hve got the same problem with my S8 Exynos.
I have:
OEM lock - ON
FAP Lock - ON
KG State - Checking
I could I put the wright value?
Thanks for all

Just registered to say thank you, was losing my mind trying to fix this, was getting FRP lock after adding a google account, going back to stock an enabling OEM unlock allowed me to use a custom rom with a google account. THANK YOU.

I have looked around for a long time but I can't find a solution to my problem.
When I try to root or install a custom ROM to my phone I get bootloop because of the FRP lock.
I have read that the only way to get around this is to log out of your Google account and never sign in but then I will lose a lot of features.
Is there really no way to root a Samsung Galaxy S7 with Google services enabled?
And is there any way of getting rid of the FRP lock without logging out off your Google account?
Any help is much appreciated!
Have you enabled OEM unlock in developer options?

Yes, I have, TWRP recovery also works fine.
Couldn't you just sign out, install, then sign back in? What would you lose by signing out that wouldn't come back when you sign in again?

I have already tried that, it works fine until I login to Google again. Then, if I restart the phone it goes into bootloop because FRP lock has been re-enabled.

Never ever heard of this happening before, it obviously doesn't usually happen otherwise XDA would be full of people with the same problem... FRP lock should only appear if you try to reset the device from recovery without signing out first

FRP lock appears when the bootloader changes. But I will try one more time with deactivating Google Services and signing out now just to be sure and report back. :good:

Okey, I signed out of Google and Samsung, went into download mode and followed the exact guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Now I am stuck in bootloop again and it says in the top right corner: "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" .
When I go into download mode again it still says: "FRP LOCK: OFF"
And as usual the only way I have been able to fix this is by flashing back to stock ROM.

That's for the Verizon S7, snapdragon, yours is the International Exynos S7
You're flashing the wrong files, use G930F files
SOLVED
I tried to flash different files for root without any help, so I decided to flash the Superman ROM which comes with root. I could actually boot now but OEM-unlock disappeared from the developer options.
I then had to enable OEM unlock somehow so i did:
Code:
> adb reboot bootloader
> sudo fastboot oem unlock
Now everything works perfect.
Hi,
I have a few questions about the FRP lock and the OEM lock on the Galaxy s6 running Nougat. I hope someone can help as I've not been able to find answers to questions this specific.
Ok, so, my first question is does the Galaxy s6 even have an OEM unlock option? If so, is it enabled by default?
Quick story before the other questions. I flashed TWRP and the sorts onto my s6 but decided to go back to stock and so flashed the stock firmware from sammobile through odin mode. After doing so I assumed the stock recovery would be restored and the phone would be as good as new right? As in all the FRP and OEM lock security features would be restored?
However, I did some research and found out that you can flash the stock firmware AGAIN as long as the firmware was signed by samsung even if OEM unlock is not checked.
My last question would be if someone was to use odin mode to flash the stock firmware, which is freely available, would the phone not ask for the previous Google account which was signed in on the device?
Hope is wasn't too hard to understand, I'm typing on my old S3 mini as I lost my s6 which is the reason I can't go and test this myself.
Thanks in advance
- There's no OEM lock on S6 (at least on international models). So, there is no OEM unlock option.
- If the bootable images (kernel and recovery) on your phone is Samsung signed, you can use FRP.
- If you want to revert the device to completely stock, I recommed that you should install a 4-part firmware.
- If FRP lock is not enabled on your device, phone won't ask anything about Google account (or Samsung account).

Hi,
Thanks for the informative reply. I have just one more question.
If I had enabled FRP through the Samsung Pass settings with my Samsung account and then I was to flash stock firmware on to the phone, would the Samsung FRP lock prevent the user from using the device by asking for the email and password or would the new firmware get rid of any of the security measures put in place?
I understand the FRP lock files are stored on a hidden partition not wipeable through the stock recovery however considering signed firmwares are freely available it would seem to me that the FRP lock would be deemed useless if anyone could just do that.
I guess my final question would be do signed firmwares downloaded online and flashed over the existing firmware wipe the FRP lock partition of the phone?
Thanks again for your reply

Phone will ask Samsung or Google account only if you wipe the data (we assume that FRP lock has been enabled before wiping the data).
If you don't wipe the data while flashing any firmware while installing (or the firmware you try to flash doesn't wipe the data), phone won't ask you anything.
And, if FRP lock enabled on the device, bootloader will deny to boot (or flash) the unsigned kernel or recovery.
There's no way to wipe FRP lock via Odin.
So, we can say that FRP lock is pretty secure.
Yeah
But u can easy **** with samsung when u flash stock 5.0 with odin and on pc have sidesync or someting like that samsung suck because with that tutorial u can bypass frp really easy

well here's hoping a typical phone thief doesn't know how to do that....
Quick question though, can an S6 be factory restored if the user only used the phone's PIN from the lock screen to the factory reset option in the settings app? Or would you be prompted to use your fingerprint? I read somewhere that factory restoring a device through the settings app disables the innate android FRP but i don't know if it's also the case with Samsung reactivation lock which is supposedly similar to FRP.
Thanks for the replies I appreciate it
Read on the way out from house !!!
Sorry for my bad but im now on the way but 1 yeah u will need maybe fingerprint for turn off reactivation ( frp) but first when u lost your phone use samsung accound on the browser for track lock etc 2 for factory reset u need only turn off phone and go to the recovery mode

reflash the stock fw using odin

I was said that because I'm using a port of S8 on S7, after I'll reflash stock ROM the data might be lost due to differences of memory formats.
Is it true?

Firstly I have a question regarding the OEM unlock as I just came out of the FRP Lock. Do I turn on OEM unlock or does it have to be turned off? Last time I had this FRP Lock was a year ago though did it again(the mistake with the OEM unlock) as I had forgotten it(Lots of grey hair)
Just don't know if it has to be on or off?
Secondly I have managed to come out of it(so far , hopefully) without wiping data with this guide

To unlock your device by frp lock you must flash the stock firmware when you are in bootloader mode you see custom binary blocked by frp,if you try to flash a random firmware(always of your device) the operation may not be a good end and device say an error with this:
Knumber) Snumber) Bnumber)
When you go to download the stock firmware you must see the "code" Of the firmware with write the same S or B number

It stops someone stealing your phone, wiping it, installing new firmware and using it as if it was new. If you know the gmail and password you put on the phone to access the play store then you just need to re-enter it after the phone restarts. FRP will only kick in if you have flashed new firmware to the phone.
I have a new firmware flashed on the phone.
And I'm using a new gmail with is, not some one July bro used on it.
What am I to do now? I have developer settings OEM unlock toggled on already.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you have a Google account on the phone that you know the email and password to, then just reboot the phone. FRP lock will only activate if you flash new firmware to the phone without removing the Google account first.
Your device should only have 1 Google account registered on the device which let's you access Play store etc. If there is more than one, you need to delete the ones you don't know the email and password to.
Okay...
Oh, okay, now I am getting the rationale.
Albeit, when I flashed in the new custom firmware, it started give me the undo changes by restarting your phone notification, like it did the first time ever that I got the lock. I didn't click it, activated an app that discarded the notification rather.
Now it makes me doubt if I had really removed my mail before flashing the phone.

Yeah you've messed it up by not signing out of account before unistalling xposed. When you say 3 different rom's do you mean stock or custom?
Even in this state you should be able to flash a stock rom to the device with Odin and it will ask you to type the google email and password after boot.
Always turn off FRP lock before modifying the phone, it's a really annoying feature.
I opened up the developer options on my Moto G Stylus and went under OEM Unlocking and selected the allow the bootloader to be unlocked option. That was either last week or a few weeks ago because I wanted to root it and put a custom rom on it. I didn't rooted it yet because I'm not sure what roms are good, I only had cyanogin mod roms on my other phones and I'm not sure which rom is the safest and best to use so I still use the stock rom. I turned on Pandora to play music before I went to sleep. When I woke up my phone was in some kind of recovery mode and said something like the operating system failed to boot. Two options were available, 1- to try booting again, and 2-factory reset the phone which would erase all data. I selected 1, and my phone booted up. Could this be because the bootloader is unlocked? Does having the bootloader unlocked leave it suspectable to being hacked? Could my phone have been hacked?

Would selecting the bootloader option to be unlocked in the developer options make my phone more vulnerable to be hacked?
A few hours later my phone did the same thing and went into recovery mode saying that my phone could not load the OS and might be infected or something. I had the same options to either try to load the OS again or factory data reset the phone. How could this happen?
I factory data reset my phone this time. I just hope I don't have some kind of malware.
Mine was hacked like this. Changed stuff so it won't boot back to original. Got into system files and remote control my phone. Is there a way to get back to original without computer? It's useless now

Can you provide more details?
The bootloader lock prevents flashing and booting of unsigned images. With a locked bootloader, download mode does not accept custom software; all software packages must be OEM signed.
An unlocked bootloader (with Knox Guard disabled) will allow flashing custom firmware, such as TWRP recovery.
So, in that sort of sense, I suppose the bootloader lock does control what download mode will accept via Odin.

Ah, ok. That makes a little more sense.
The bootloader has to be unlocked in order to flash custom firmware.
The process works like this:
Turn on OEM Unlocking in Developer Options (allows bootloader to be unlocked)
Boot device into unlock mode - starting with device off, hold both Volume buttons and plug in USB cable)
Follow device instructions to unlock (will wipe data)
Boot into system, allow system to connect to Internet to disable Knox Guard
Reboot into download mode, use Odin to flash TWRP
Use TWRP to flash custom ROM
So, if OEM Unlocking is not available, you can't do any of this, because that is the first step.
Unless you have factory restarted your device within the last week, no oem unlock means no custom firmware. You have the snapdragon variant, right?

I think this is the clue. You have a organization managed device with an MDM lock (Mobile Device Management). MDM is used by enterprise IT departments to manage devices and can prevent bootloader unlocking as well as factory reset.
Let me guess, you bought this device used?

I think your only option is to find out which company the phone belonged to before. If they removed it from their fleet, they can probably remove the MDM lock. This is actually pretty common - enterprise managed devices will be "retired" from fleet service and sold without being properly decommissioned - they're wiped, but the IT department doesn't remove the MDM lock.
They might or might not unlock it for you, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
