Hello all!
I would like to ask where the FRP information is stored. Is it a regular partition? I have two identical phones, one is frp-locked and the other is not, could I read the flash of the unlocked phone and write it to the other one?
My problem is that my phone LCD is broken, so I bought an used phone to use the LCD but it is lock by FRP and the seller does not remember the password. Since the used phone happened to be in better conditions I prefer to use it.
I have flashed the stock ROM using EDL, but is did not success, so I guess the FRP information is not stored in those partitions.
Thank you very much!
Even if you knew where the information is stored, you won't decrypt it anyway. So copying does not make sense, because the data is different for each system.
Thank you very! Is there any technical information about FRP? I have seen some tools that claim to unlock FRP, but I have not found any usefull documentation.
Thank you all!

Hello xda friends.
How would you welcome the possibility to unlock the bootloader without wipe?
I have found two ways to do that a while ago, but first I want to ask you what do you feel about it?
I dont want to anybody to feel uncomfortable that even locked bootloader means no security to your userdata at all.
There is a reason why google implemented a full wipe after you do the fastboot oem unlock, to prevent thieves to get your data and personal infos by flashing a custom recovery then adb pulling the userdata partition.
So tell me your opinion. Depending on the feedback I decide to keep the secret or expose it to public.
You will need a windows pc to do it.

Apps for that have existed for years.

Release it. If the mods decide it's somehow illegal and or a serious security breach they'll let you know. It boils down to how you use the tool. Take a screwdriver. It's a perfectly legal thing to own and incredibly handy in it's intended use. Use that same screwdriver to break into some ones house and it's evidence.
Security through obscurity? No, thank you!
Expose it to us, please.

anyway if you can flash twrp with boarddiag tool when bootloader is still locked, then bootloder lock is nothing

psst... that is secret
I say expose it. It will put pressure to have the hole closed.

well, those who want to know anyways
@bitdomo what happened with this? haha
Hi all,
A friend with this device (the 4G one) got a forgotten lock screen somehow. I wanted to help bypass without losing data.
The lock screen only keeps asking for repeating entering the pin, it does not provide alternative such as google account (which we do have).
Please note the device is unrooted and I don't intend to root it or do any customization.
Help is appreciated.
Does your friend have a Samsung account? If so, you can use that to remotely unlock it from here: http://findmymobile.samsung.com/

I've always run ADB commands to rooted devices so I'm not sure if this will work but anyways here's a link that might be helpful.

Thank you but I already hard resetted and lost data as the owner chosen that. But I need to research this to a maximum as I found that my Nexus 4 with Lolipop also has this problem (and Nexus apparantly has no Samsung account ) . So if I get the lock screen forgotten, I'm in really big trouble! All expert advice is welcome please.
I bought a second-hand galaxy S10e that was advertised as being stuck on a boot loop. I fixed the boot loop by flashing with a stock firmware, but was greeted with an frp lock that I triggered in the process. I contacted the seller about it, but he said he bought it second hand himself and has no way of contacting the original owner. I've tried a couple things and thought this through, and I decided to ask here whether I missed anything.
First, is it possible to read the google email associated with the frp lock from the device in order to contact the last logged in owner? that would make this a lot easier if I could ask them to unlock it for me.
I assume this isn't possible, since I couldn't find anything about it. what are my other options? while recovering from the boot loop, I flashed a very recent firmware, so all of the 'frp bypass' tricks I see advertised don't work. I also wasn't able to flash a combination file.
Does anyone have any experience with this, and any ideas I could still try? Bought the phone for my wife, and I'd hate to see her angry :|

Can you elaborate on how you achieved this? So I and others can follow the procedure too?
I've tried a lot of tips from youtube. With FRP bypass apps etc... Unfortunately this account stays on it. I would be happy if there are any tips. It's Android 10 on it. I can also get into the settings menu through a different language and through backdoors. But I can't activate the development mode.

What? It's legit to help users to unbrick from FRP lock.
If you can get to settings, can you reach factory reset option? this entry doesn't need to be unlocked and should be available in standard settings configuration. If that doesn't solve it, try to remove google account from accounts menu.
edit: there are more intrusive methods for experts, like erasing FRP partition from SP Flash Tool or mtkclient (will tell you if anything else failed)
Hello, I can also reset the phone, but the google account still stays in it. I can't delete it in settings either. If it were that easy, I wouldn't be here. thanks anyway for your answers.
get VCOM preloader drivers to work in Windows and do a full ROM dump with SP Flash Tool + WwR MTK v2.51 beta. secure boot download agent and auth_sv5.auth file (or SLA/DAA auth by-pass) might required.
once you have created backup and scatter file this way (one that 100% matches current partition layout) you can erase FRP partition from SP Flash Tool (pay attention for step 8)

@blackhawk Thanks very much that you do care about XDA and what's posted in the forum. However, despite the closed thread you've linked in your above post it's not correct that FRP bypassing or unlock solutions are generally "out of bounds". Generally, we allow FRP unlock questions; it's always a case by case decision, and currently I don't recognise anything in this thread that wouldn't allow me to keep the thread open - although this might change pending on future information and discussions.

if you don't rely on windows I recommend bootloader unlock with mtkclient. you can try bootable linux pendrive re_livedvdV3.iso created with Rufus or UNetbootin for this
Has anyone been able to successfully root or flash TWRP using QPST/QFIL without unlocking the bootloader on lmi?

I'd be surprised.
What is the problem?
hey @NOSS8
I'd be surprised too lol.
No problem really, I came across some info and went down a little rabbit hole and arrived at the conclusion that it seems to be possible to have root on an locked bootloader but the key is apparently some "firehose" programmer files that I can't seem to find anywhere, which when used in conjuction with QPST and a device in EDL mode would in effect allow modification of the boot.img for the sake of rooting the device.
I'm still trying to find out more because I read some time ago on how android verified boot works, so I am sceptical especially when the people that seem to be doing it on youtube are those that unlock devices for a living or are just enthusiasts, both parties seem to glean toward it being possible without any specialised equipment /box/dongle with a success rate depending on flashing order.
So I started searching for the possibility of it being done on lmi.

You say "with a locked bootloader" and then the opposite, typos?
Possible with a MediaTek soc device, not Qualcomm.
Finally to flash in EDL mode you must have a special authorization that only repair centers have.
A few years ago it was easy to access and modify the system, then there were the dynamic partitions, then the A/B partitions and the limitations imposed by GOOGLE with A12 A13.
On You Tube you can find everything and anything unlike XDA.
An example here, of useless persistence.

yep it was indeed a typo.
I did see a lot of MTK stuff.
Fair enough.
Also, "useless persistence" I believe is the main cause of so many bricks in forums I've seen in the last couple days chasing the same dream.
