Hello,
I have an old phone I would like bypass/remove screen password without loosing my data. I have done some research and based on the following bullets I don't think it's possible but wanted to run this by the professionals for confirmation. Thanks very much for your time!
non-rooted
no USB Debugging enabled
Stock-Rom
Stock Recovery
No CWM
No Internet Connection
No service
No google verification
Additionally I have tried applying update.zip using Pattern Password Disable.zip but if fails because of signature verification.

Has anyone used the full device encryption built into ics yet? Any drawbacks using it? Does it affect performance in anyway?
Also does it encrypt the internal and external sdcard?
Found a good thread about encryption on ics here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392037 basically don't do it if you flash constantly, and you can't go back either.
I am required to use encryption to access my works exchange server. Before the ICS upgrade I could use a pattern to unlock my encrypted phone. After upgrading to ICS ... the phone prompted me for a password. I had to wipe the phone. I tried again, this time the minimum security requirement from my Exchange server demanded a pin. I set up a pin, encrypted the phone ... rebooted .. again the password prompt. The phone would not recognize my password. Re-wipe, try again, 1 hour later after encryption ... same thing. Prompt for password, it did not recognize my password ... rewipe the phone.
Now I am looking for a way to downgrade from ICS

Have you tried using a password instead of a pin or pattern? I'm wondering if it is letting you select a lower security option and then trying to enforce a higher security option later. Just a guess.

Device is a SM-N916S from Samsung (Galaxy Note 4 S-LTE Exynos 5433 ver.) for anyone that's wondering. It's current state : Completely stock with no root. USB debugging disabled. No Samsung Account linked to device. Can't change password through ADM. No more guesses left for the password anymore, any more will reset the phone.
So yeah. For the past few days I've been trying to bypass Android Device Manager's remote "Lock" feature that's meant to keep your data safe from theives. As for why? Long story short : I tried to pull a cruel prank on my brother by remotely locking his device through ADM. I have since forgotten the password (it was a random combination of letters and numbers that I thought I could remember, but obviously not.) and trying to set a new password through Android Device Manager just gives me the infamous "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." error message.
Now, if this was phone that belonged to me, I would just install a custom recovery and remove the password with a password disable zip, but unfortunately, that is not an option here. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I CANNOT void the warranty (as in trip the KNOX counter) under ANY circumstances and would very much like to avoid a factory reset. Am I out of luck here? Or is anyone here aware of a method that can be used to bypass the ADM lock / or a way to backup data without root access / adb. Thanks.
Hi there
I'm looking for some help on bypassing FRP for a Samsung Galaxy A3. Reason being is the phone was reset back to factory settings but on turning it on again after inputting the Wi-fi details, I'm greeted with a Samsung account box saying something like "this was an abnormal reset please enter details". The original problem was that I forgot the Samsung account password and thought this would remove it. At the time the AOL email address was not receiving the password reset email which is why the weird reset. To actually reset the phone, I looked on YouTube and did the way via Google Account Manager.
Anyway, to fix the problem, I read on other areas about something called Odin and managed to get other stock firmwares (UK 3G v5 and 6 of Android) but none worked to bypass this reactivation lock. Obviously the easy fix would be to log into the Samsung account and I eventually did by resetting the password (came 1 day later) but when I enter the correct details, I'm greeted with a "Processing failed" message.
I looked on YouTube again and did some RealTerm stuff which nearly worked but I could not open a browser as the phone said something about "for security". Patched I assume?
So basically is there anyway to remove FRP via some method or software that is not patched? The phone has none of this rooting or anything, I could barely understand how Odin worked. It's as stock as you would get from a shop. Ideally some software where I put the phone into Download mode, connect the USB and click "Disable FRP"?
Thank you

Here's a thought. You said that it took a whole day to get the new password from Samsung. Whenever I have asked for a reset like that, the new password was only good for anywhere between 10 minutes to a few hours. If it was delayed, I had to start the process over.
Could this be the problem you're having?

Hi
Same problem, "samsung" frp and not "google frp".
I want to rescue this old phone but i found nothing for the SM-A300FU (only for earlier A5)
Kind regards
Please help me to resolve the FRP for my google account on my Samsung S9+ which I've encountered.
I have A Canadian S9+ model SM-G965W and downloaded the following Combination Files including the the American version which i read on a forum would work for the Canadian version so that I can get into the phone to gain develop access, factor reset and flash with original ROM. I have downloaded the following combination files: Combination_FAC_FA80_G965U1QU1ARBA.ZIP, Combination file G965WVLU1ARBG_G965WOYV1ARBG_GLW and file Combination_OXM_FA80_G965FXXU1ARB7_OXMFAC_CL13084894_QB17151834_REV01_user...rar which I downloaded off the web. Just to note I used 7 Zip software to unpack these zip files into .tar format for odin3. The firmware/bootloader i downloaded from Sammobile was G965WVLU1ARBG. When I try to flash any of these Combination files above with ODIN3 V3.13.1 it gives an error code after a few minutes of doing nothing. I have downloaded the samsung driver for mobile phones.
The error code in Odin3 is "Can't open the serior(COM) port. Please help me why i can't flash the combination to access my phone? What is going on with this error is it because I'm using the wrong combination file for S9+ Canadian verison?
Please help me resolve my problems to fix my phone so i can gain access to it. I'm new to the community and the whole process of flashing/routing phones.
thanks

Make sure you installed the samsung USB driver and have the phone in download mode.
Also USB debugging needs to be enabled. If you can enable developer options under settings and toggle USB debugging there. Otherwise unless you have somehow or another fudged it good just boot the phone normally and obtain the Google account information to access the phone. Then when you gain access be sure to factory reset it normally as to remove that lock.
There are videos and etc. on YouTube which discuss using some sort of automation application to enable USB debugging... I dont kmow if that is safe or if it works. Personally I would just get the person who had the Google account to disable the FRP lock, factory reset it.
Otherwise there are 3rd party pay for services that help with the FRP lock.
Hello, thanks for reading my thread. This is probably my first thread in xdadevelopers. So, I will describe my problem with FRP lock.
I just buy a two-handed phone from some people and yes, I forgot to check properly that they erase their Google Account to prevent FRP. I struggle to unlock this FRP lock. TalkBack bypass is not working since it is 7.2.0 version and since this phone didn't enable USB debugging. I can't run any command within ADB. I tried multiple ways to bypass FRP like SMS, Trying to USB debugging with *#*#2846579#*#* code, Tring to flash the ROM but not working at all. Can someone recommend me what to do? I really need help right now.
Thanks,
Best Regards.
there no way to remove frp for this phone except the test point method.
