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.
I had to unfortunately factory reset my phone as I was suggested to do so by Samsung. Now I'm at the start screen but when I try to get connected to a WiFi connection I get the message "An unauthorized attempt had been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a WiFi or mobile network to verify your identity." I don't have network at this moment so that's why I was trying to get connected to my WiFi. But no matter how many times I try to, it will not allow me. Please if someone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Someone else had the identical problem and their thread is here on XDA Q&A somewhere, not sure if they ever solved it
Did Samsung tell you to make a PIN before the factory reset?
My phone was network locked, so I gave it to a technician to help me unlock it. The problem is now my phone restarts (I can use it, open apps ...) just after a few minutes which makes it unusable. I probably should do a factory reset but I still have some precious data on my phone that I don't wanna lose. Since the phone keeps restarting, I don't know how to copy said data before performing the factory reset. Another info that might be useful, my micro-usb port isn't working, which makes my problem worse. Can anybody help me with this?
If you have a second hand phone, try transferring all the data needed via Smartswitch
The update to Android 10.3.1 on my OnePlus 6 appears to have broken connecting to bluetooth audio in the car. I have had it connect once or twice with much fiddling but most of the time it will cycle connect>reconnect>connect etc. I've tried removing and repairing, connecting as an audio-only device and not a 'phone' (an option the car gives me) and even a full factory reset on the device with no joy. There doesn't seem to be anything in developer options that might help either. Anything I can do to try and debug this? It's seriously annoying being without audio in the car. I've raised a ticket with OnePlus but I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks

After you applied the update, did you boot into recovery and wipe the cache partition(not factory reset, just wipe cache)? Sometimes there is stuff from before the update that causes issues with new system(especially if the update is a newer android version than what you had), wiping cache fixes that. Sometimes it is even necessary to factory reset the device if wiping cache doesn't help.

Hello,
I have a ZFlip 3 that will sometimes boot up properly, and then work fine until it turned off again. But sometimes the phone will boot to the "Samsung Galaxy"/"Powered by Android" screen then turn off.
The phone is fully stock/non-rooted.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Try clearing the system cache.
Try in safe mode repeatedly, buggy 3rd party app. If so find it.
Did you do any major firmware upgrades without doing a factory reset afterwards?
Did you use SmartSwitch?
If so factory reset; do a clean load and don't use SmartSwitch.
Look at the Log files or...
A Samsung Experience center at best buys can run advanced diagnostics on it if one is convenient to you.
There
I have had this exact same issue with mine, but when I took it to the repair place they said that the phone had nothing wrong with it. my theory is that some internal process is sending large amounts of data to the cache, its strange because even if I factory reset and clear cache it still goes back into the state after a few hours.
