S7 FRP locked - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey i really need help with a galaxy s7 sm-g930f i got from a friend of my mother which is FRP locked and cant boot into recovery and bootloops on the Galaxy s7 screen with Custom binary locked by FRP standing in the top left corner since they somehow tampered with the phone. i already tried to get TWRP running (which wont work since the frp lock blocks it) and tried to flash the stock roms with the latest stock roms and some older versions since i cant really tell if it was updated to the latest android available for the s7 or not. even after sucessfully flashing through oding it just wont work i cant access the recovery menu or atleast it wont show up at all and it binary still is locked by frp
and before wasting money on sending it to samsung directly i now try to get help through this forum would really appriciate your answers

Hi
How can i do this??
Im stuck
If you're stuck on FRP lock at boot, you cannot downgrade, you can only flash with same or newer (original) firmware (I discovered it the hard way- tried over 20 firmwares). Download the latest one for your phone, location (CSC) shouldnt matter, try flashing one item at a time (Pit-> Modem -> Bootloader -> System -> CSC)
The pit file can be extracted from the CSC archive.
Once you complete the flash, you should be able to boot the OS and verify your google account. from there, you should know what to do.
Hope this works for you - I spent 2 days trying to bypass FRP (PITA)
I missed the part where you don't know which Google account you used. That's gonna be a tough one...let us know if you figure it out.

master reset code

Hey i have a Canadian Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 model and when i bought it second hand buddy did not remove his google& Samsung account which is preventing me from having my OWN phone and i want to factory reset it and cannot do it through the setting (powered on) and in recovery it says that it will require the Google account that is currently on the phone be signed into once the reset is complete stupid FRP protection. I found the Samsung master reset code online and im hoping that will work but wanted to ask the community before i tried just to be safe. Please any helped is greatly appreciated thanks.
ALSO its running the july 1 2018 security patch and android 8.0 ored
The only way to get past FRP is the google account or an FRP bypass exploit which are all patched in Oreo.
Take it back to the seller and get them to unlock it for you.
Its not lock i have full access i am trying to get rid of his Samsung & google account if i could root it i could get it but cant seem to find a rooting method for this phone ..... Im not locked out of it i have 100% access just need his account removed
G930W8 is Exynos, so you should just be able to flash TWRP and then flash a root zip. But if you factory reset its going to lock down. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
Downgrading to marshmallow and using a bypass method (even though it's not locked, bypass lets you change the google account) may be your best bet.
Ok so downgrade to 6.0? And then find a frp unlock for marshmallow and then i dont kno how to run the bypass never had a phone with this nonsense ..... As for the root method which root file would i have to get i could then have my brother write a snippet like the old "remove gapps\knox\samsung apps" i doubt the old one i have would even work lol
Lookup FRP bypasses on youtube, there's many methods and at least once will work - it's not a simple process however.
In that TWRP thread I linked is the Super SU flashable zip, or Magisk would be the best root methods.

Galaxy S6 Secure check fail : (recovery) help, installing TWRP

I have been trying for about a month to root and atleast boot this SM-G920V to a rom I dont even care if it's rooted but anytime i try to follow a youtube video exactly it still ends up failing i have used adb to boot to bootloader then turned off phone booted into download mode to bypass the secure download but it still says SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY) I don't quite understand why Verizon just has to be so difficult but this may be a dumb question is there anyway to actually switch the model of this phone without just changing that file that displays it to thus switch it to a root compatible version or will changing that actually make the phone compatible I don't know if anyone has any tips as to booting this verizon galaxy s6 nougat 7 to a custom rom or even rooting though I was told that the verizon models are incompatible for unlocking bootloader but I know theres ways of booting to roms without unlocking bootloader though you need root is there anyone that doesnt need root or unlocking bootloader I have also tryed the old ping pong method and that still failed. please let me know if you have any knowledge of any of this thank you in advance
No way for custom rom.
Flash the latest official, install Package Disabler app and get rid of the bloatware.
Then enjoy the phone.

Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit (SM-S367VL) Looking for advice on how to root.

I've looked for quite a while on anything that could help me root the phone, and have had no success with anything. I'm worrying at this point that the bootloader is just locked and have to ask, is there anything else I can do to root this phone? Willing to try pretty much anything, even at risk of bricking it.

I'm interested in this too but in all likelihood nobody with the knowledge is even working on it because this is a niche phone.
Locked bootloader..
Well i have this fone now...i bought it because it was a good deal so it seemed..Less than 100$ for fone and service activation plan...I have rooted just about every Samsung i have ever owned...So heres what i have come up with..There is no OEM option in Developer options...On any other samsung fone i always go right into developer options and disable OEM by turning it off...Then i either have used Kingroot apk or Kingoroot apk in the past and they have worked...sometimes u have to find the perfect version to match your android software specifically...Now i have always had huge success with Odin and flashing TWRP via Laptop or Computer via USB connection, but thats something each individual should personally take the time and educate theirselves on just in case... Sorry to say that the Samsung J3 Orbit with Total Wireless and Oreo 8.0 needs a serious look at...

Your phone is a 2018 model of the j3. When xda finally makes a J3 (2018) thread i will request for this thread to be moved. Any root methods shown in J3 (2017) are likely not to work anymore since samsung patched the methods used. The only way to root phones now is by buying the U variants of samsung's phones which are only available from samsung's website under unlocked phones. Unlocked phones from samsung have an unlocked bootloader by default.

U models are normally U.S. models which are locked tight. I run a s8 as my everyday driver which is rooted. The s9 s10 and most other us snapdragon and in this case exynos all are locked tight. And they cannot be rooted as of right now. The sampwn and other samfail do not work anymore. The U model you are referring to is the U.S. sim unlocked model not bootloader. With the S series F is the European bootloader unlocked model I don't know the European letter for J series.
Until some one finds a way to push a rooted system img on stock permissive combination kernel root will not come just like s9 and s10 us models
If these where us snapdragon we could push a rooted system combination file with safestrap just like we do on the newer bootloader on s8 using EDL and Qualcomm 9008
Just had an idea, another thread on this forum a guy says he made a modified version of Odin that can flash mix matched models. So just flash a model version of the j3 orbit that can be rooted or at least oem unlock capable to be able to flash twrp and then be able to root through twrp.
If flashing a j3 with a model number different than sm-367vl would brick it, just extract the .img partitions like boot.img or whatever the partition may be with ubuntu to restore one by one until you find which one makes the phone boot.
I don't know much about phones when it comes to this depth of modification. But I had a lg zone 3 that used this method to turn an unrootable model number version into a different model number that was rootable. Before I flashed the .img partitions of the stock software the screen had lines all over it, so using screen mirroring I was able to root the different model number software then download partition backup and restore app them restore the partitions that were for the original model number.
So basically it took both model numbers and combined some partitions of each to make it work properly.
In my head I can totally see this working. Just depends on how close to the same hardware each model number of the galaxy j3 has i guess.
I wish I would have noticed/seen this a bit sooner.. any progress or luck? I have the j337u ...
I know chimera tool is able to remove Knox kglock oemlock rmm mdm , of which mine shows kglock on, oemlock: on, frplock off. Trying to flash anything gives the error insufficient payment somethin. So there's got to be a way around it. ALSO I found interesting, the FCC id has J337t instead of U ...wonder why that is ...
(Anyone know where I can get stock j260AZ/AIO -notpaid- (cricket) firmware,I've literally checked every where )
We need someone to take that new 0day exploit rootPoC mod it however and release it
Found this [Have not tried it yet]
Came across an article on androidbiits. Not sure it's actually viable. Unfortunately I cant post the direct link until I have enough posts under my belt.
I'm willing to pitch in if someone can point me in the right direction.
Yhuda
How now????You are find How to root this phone????Please add Develop for find How to root Samsung J3 Orbit?!??
For my kglock on, oem lock on j337u, which also has some new mdm / rmm on it from consumer , I used chimera tool to set KGLock to Complete.
This also switched the oem lock to off and show the toggle in Dev ops....
1st flash of magical patched img worked. But after.connectinf.the Wi-Fi , knox enrollment and instantly a sec. Msg popped up and locked up the entire device. No usb connection or.anything.
factory reset
Same Issue,.then locks up
So for try 3, flash the patched boot, let boot.
AS SOON AS ITboots to android, hit the Airplane Mode toggle to activate it to stop Knox Enrollmnt
So er.gont get
was able to unlock the boatloader with comb file that was compatible, flashed stock track phone, updated to 9 pie...
used a gig pressed power button ???
9 pie trac phone j3 orbit
patched AP file with majisk, ran with Odin : says noway fail, I was able to reflash with stock firmware, so it doesn't work on mine...
any other luck
thanks
I would really like to know if anyone has succeeded either rooting or SIM unlocking or flashing with a different firmware on this model.
I was able to access the OEM unlock in my J3 Orbit (SM-S367VL) via factory binary after flashing combination firmware.
That is as far as Ive gotten. I am assuming you would want to run ADB download mode to flash anything as factory binary seems to have some security measures against full bootloader unlock built in

Samsungs Galaxy S7 need to flash older Android (FRP) but download mode not working

Hi at all,
so I bought this samsung phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F) for my mom online, but there is an android account lock on it. Previous owner not reachable and so now I'm stuck with this phone.
I tried a lot of "FRP/Google Lock Bypass" videos, but it seems this phone has the newest android version so non of them work.
Types of bypasses I've tried:
- notification bypass
- SIM-Card insert/eject and power on/off
- specialized FRP software
none worked.
Now my next move would be to try to flash a custom ROM in order to flash an older android version, which would hopefully make one of the above mentioned FRP methods work.
BUT for some reason I cant't enter download mode, which is as I understood essential to flash anything on the phone.
The only mode I can enter is recovery mode. There I already tried factory reset, which did work, but did not solve my Android Lock /FRP problem.
Now ...... any clue what I can do to finaly make a use of my money that I spend on this phone?
Thansk in advance for every bit of help

Which phone do you have? If it is a Snapdragon version with updated software, you can't flash custom ROMs due to the locked bootloader.
