Hi,
I have tried factory reset from recovery, after I resetted it i can not setup my phone. It says something like "Unable to access Wi-Fi AP. An unauthorized factory reset has been performed on this device. Can not access the sign-in page." Any solutions? since i have resetted it i can not use odin because of frp lock.
Thank you
---------------------
I tried wiping the cache from the recovery mode. and it did the work. Maybe a flow in the code ?
Hi I've the same problem! Did you manage to fix your phone?
I forgot my password to start phone so did factory reset only to be told the same as above. I'm abroad so can't even contact my provider/Samsung so am really stuck.
Any help is appreciated
Using either WiFi or Mobile data you should always have access to sign back into your Google account, which is what it is asking you to do
The phone asks you to connect to WiFi before sign in anyway
dose it helped as detection said?
You just need to login the same gmail ac which you previously using in that phone.
I have the same issue, and the problem is that it won't allow you to connect to the Wi-Fi to even get to the internet. As soon as you connect on the Wireless network, the "Unable to access web browser for Wi-Fi sign in due to an unauthorized factory reset" message appears. And for whatever reason, the cellular network is not available either.
Before you do a factory reset, log out from your google account, also from your Samsung account, just to be sure. Better to remove all your added fingerprints and also your screen lock.
Now, if you did not do that, and you already made a factory reset, and you get that message, just enter your google email and your password. Sometimes this is just not enough, and I found that if you sign in from the same IP, you were previously on, when you reset your device, it will do the trick. Weird, but try, it may work.
If nothing works, your safe bet is to reflash your specific firmware with Odin.
Download the firmware from SamMobile, it will work without errors, Knox still 0x0, don't worry about it.
Also you can fix the: Cannot Update Software, Your Device has been modified message, by reflashing with Odin.
This message can appear on your phone if you unlock your Developer Options on your device and play with adb, or sideload some shady applications to modify your device settings, even if you are not rooted, your device can still show: Status: Custom message.
So, log out from every account before a factory reset. If something goes wrong, use Odin.
Hello,
In this situation, you CANNOT enter your Google information, because you can't get that far. After the hard factory reset, and the phone boots to the Welcome screen, you press the Start button and immediately get the message “An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity”, then when you turn Wi-Fi on, and connect to a network you get the message "unable to sign in to wi-fi ap an unauthorized factory reset has been performed on this device". Even after a reboot you get "unable to access web browser for wi-fi sign in due to an unauthorized factory reset". There is no option to skip, and Next is greyed out.
My phone has never been rooted and I was just performing a routine Wipe to make it faster. The only thing I can think of is that I did not remove the account from the phone first, and then perform a soft factory reset (I just hard reset it from the firmware menu). Or, that I did not remove the device from Google webpage before the reset (but I don't think this is the problem since I can't even get to the internet to log-in).
I tried flashing with the original firmware but the phone has FRP on, so flashing is blocked.
The information on the Samsung site states to send/bring the phone to a Samsung Authorized Repair center along with the original proof of purchase.
There must be a better way?
Like I told you. Use the same Wi-Fi. It WORKS.
Worked for me, so do it.
Or try Smart Switch.
Before I posted I verified that I am on the same Wi-Fi network that I was on when I Factory Reset the device. I used ODIN and the latest firmware from SamMobile, it failed because FRP Lock is on. I tried Smart Switch and it give me the "Unsupported Device" message so I used Recovery mode, entered in my model and SN, and it downloaded and installed the firmware (latest?).
Just for fun (given the response above that "it WORKS".) I went through all of the steps again, with no success.
After recovery using Smart Switch, I rebooted and the problem still exists. "An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity." I choose the Wi-Fi network that I want, and it gives the message "unable to access web browser for wi-fi sign in due to an unauthorized factory reset"
Any advice is appreciated.

Flash a much older firmware that has a FRP bypass method on youtube and follow that
Good luck.
I found a j3 on the freeway during a flat tire issue. Samsung said that I should give it to them or police. Police departments sell them at monthly auctions. Samsung will just resell it after they fix it and I am the one assumed to be a criminal in this case?
So here's what I'm thinking

Charge it, see if you can access the phone book, call someone on the phone book or wait for a call from the owner
If the above is impossible, give it to the cops, you can claim it back at X months if it is not claimed (At least over here)
heyy, I have the same problem. "Unable to access web browser for Wi-Fi sign in due to an unauthorized factory reset" what to do?
unathorized reset not connecting to internet SOLVED, 2 SECONDS.
I had the same pronblem. I couldn't connect to the internet after a unathorized resett. I was suck trying to connect to the internet inorder to out in my google information. But kept getting can not connect to the internet ap is locked can not connect. Therefore i couldn't sign on with my google information unlocking my phone. Nothing i tried, Flashing stock with Odin, erasing the partition in recovery mode, factory resetting, changiing the ip address via advance wifi settings. Everything. Even tried every you tube trick none of them worked. It wasn't untill i went into a open network. Meaning one that doesn't need to be signed into. I went to Mcdonalds user there wifi. Don't need to sign in ,it's a automatic connection. See you need your AP to make the connection. But if you did like i did a unathorized factory reset. Then your AP IS non funtioning. It cant make the the connectiion. Connecting to a open network ,one that doesnt need a sign in. Mcdonalds , Starbucks or anyother open network. i am writing this with the device with the problem. Problem solved.

unauthorized factory reset wifi ap blocked
Sm-j737p 8.0 j737pvpu2arj2. I got one of these 2 days ago. It had been reset from recovery. It wants the original uicc to verify identity. The wifi will not connect cus browser is denied to access. I.cannot try using the ap that was last used so idk about that. If you put a sim in (I used diff network) it will act like its connecting but is updating system after which the same cycle starts over. The Eng SBoot (frp by***s)combination files will work but oreo updates were so erradict that you will have to use your own boot with.
P.s.-If your getting the "unauthorized" message then the FRP and OEM locks are on. I will play with it and let ya know. I enjoy a challenge and galaxy is my specialty.
So, the thing is that I was trying to recover an voice note I've deleted and I runed a windows program to do so. When the program started working on the recovery it restarted my phone to do the last step. When my phone restarted I got a weird message on a black screen "To strat up your device enter your password". I have the fingerprint and the pattern set as my default unlock ways so I don't know to which "Password" is this message reffering to. I've read that it maight be reffering to my google account password but I've tried that and nothing. I also read about it has something to do with google ADM protecting my phone but I couldn't find any way to restore that password from the google Adroid Device Manager panel on PC. I'm very desperate about this, I just want to know what is the password this thing is asking me. Or I just want to backup all my data to do a factory reset then. The thing is that the phone is on that lock screen, it isn't even started up so I can't do anything. Is not conected to wifi, nothing!!! it is just stuck there. If you know which password is this asking me that would help or if you know how can I do a backup with the phone locked up, that could help me out too.. Thanks!
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
Hi,
For some weird reason when i turned my HTC U11 on this time they show this message before start up:
Your phone is encrypted.
To ecrypt your phone, enter your lock spattern.
30 attempts reamin before device data is deleted.
No matter how many times i enter the right pattern it wouldn't accept it. I has just set the lock screen a couple of minutes before the phone got turned off. So when I check my phone on the linked google account it still says no lock pattern detected.
Now I am down to only 3 attempts and I do not want to lose my device data! Please help!!
Even USB Connection not working
I tried connecting the phone to my PC as well, but the device doesnt show up. Probably because the phone is not completely turned on yet ( i cant access anything on my phone
Hi, I have a Redmi Note 7 Pro which I haven't been able to use in a while. Sadly, I no longer remember the screen password and don't want to wipe all the data to be able to use the phone. Is there any way I can unlock the screen without any data loss? ( I tried clicking the Forgot Password, but I don't see a Google account sign-in option (or any other option), it just says that I need to wipe the data to proceed...). I even restarting the phone by pressing the power and volume button, and tried connecting to Mi Assistant , but the phone is not getting detected when I connect through USB. Does anyone know if there are any other methods to unlock the phone without losing any data?
Same problem
Got myself a used poco x3 nfc. Wanted to unlock the bootloader to load lineageOS on it. Instead, I got a boatload of errors just trying to unlock the bootloader.
The device is fully functional, wifi, data, calls, SMS, all work.
I have a Xiaomi account that shows the phone in the "devices" section of the account, but when clicked, doesn't show model or name.
OEM Unlocking is enabled, but when I go to Mi Unlock status, pressing "add account and device" will either "succeed" (3/4 times), "network error" (1/4 times), "request parameter error (rarely). In all 3 cases the button is still clickable. The issue being that even if it succeeds, when I go to actually try to unlock the bootloader, the unlock app on pc will error out with "Please add your account in MIUI's settings>developer options>mi unlocks status"
Even putting that aside, getting my PC to detect the phone in fastboot is another issue on its own, working only 1/4 times roughly.
Not sure if relevant, but the poco X3 NFC doesn't show up in my carrier's device list (this is my 3rd device using the same sim card, the other 2 being pixel 2 and samsung A03s), though as mentioned earlier data, calls, and SMS all work despite this.
