Hello everyone,
My S6 Edge is FRP locked because of a hard reset via the standard recovery.
Now is my question, how can I get rid of the FRP lock?
I've already tries multiple things, like:
- Flash a custom recovery (Can't because of RL lock (Reactivation Lock))
- Install factory binary to try a new method (Can't because there's no binary for my binary security level: RP SWREV: B:6 K:2 S:2)
- Install a stock rom with USB debugging enabled (Doesn't work, because for some reason ADB commands do not work...)
Hope you can help me!

So you have access to the device? In other words, you can use the device (open apps, play videos etc.) and just want to disable FRP but it wont let you? Did I get that right?

Thanks for your reply!
But no, I don't have access to ky device. Only the configuration screem which you get when your phone comes new out of the box or after a factory reset.
Within the configuration screen I can't go any further than login of the Samsung account. Because it won't let me login
I need a way to bypass this, otherwise I will not be able to use my phone anymore...

So you know your credentials but the phone refuses to accept it? If so, open Google on your PC and type in Samsung - Find my mobile. Log into your account, choose your S6 and select Unlock Reactivation lock. Make sure that the phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
If you forgot your Samsung credentials click reset password on the login screen (on your PC) and repeat the steps above.
Hope it helps

I just checked your claims and I don't see an option to disable FRP on my S6 edge using Google's method. It can erase and lock the device but it doesn't have the power to disable FRP. On the other hand Samsung's find my phone site has the FRP disable button. I wish to point out again that the phone explicitly asked for the Samsung account. If it wanted Google's info it would have asked. I could be wrong but I'm just saying what I'm seeing.

Yeah I know it's asking for Samsung account. But FRP lock is down to google. Remove Google account = FRP lock disabled. FRP lock and reactivation lock are different. If he can't get passed Samsung account the very easiest way is to just reset Samsung account credentials.

Aha, okay then, sorry for the misuse of words. But still in a nutshell FRP and Reactivation lock are the same thing. Both still block the circumvention of the stock ROM if it's enabled. I think that the author of this topic meant to say Reactivation lock tbh

I've done that already a long time ago. But simply resetting my Samsung account password isn't going to cut it.
My phone has been reset via the standard Samsung recovery menu. After that the phone boots up like it's totally new.
So you have to go through the configuration menu for the phone.
At the part where I have to fill in my Samsung account credentials it fails to advance because of Samsung's FRP lock which I still haven't been able to bypass.

But if you are entering the correct details then it should pass the reactivation lock. So long as you use the same Samsung account you had logged in before you reset. So if you reset the credentials for that account you should be able to log in and pass the lock after.

My wife has the Tmo LG V10 secured with google but she forgot the password to her account. So I decided to factory reset the phone by hitting the button combination and entering recovery. After the phone booted up it still asking for the google account password. And there's no way I can unlock the phone. Is there anyway to do this? By unlocking bootloader and installing a fresh rom? I thought on rooting it but I have to enable developer mode and I can't access it. Any ideas??

If you are unable to just reset the password and wait the 72 hours try this. http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f779/lg-v10-factory-reset-protection-frp-2064805/ this work around wworked for me a couple days ago. Or if it doesn't I guess you ccould always pay mrcertkings extortion of 20 dollars to use the tot file to fix. I'm sure he's already pmed you offering to do it for 20 dollars like he did me.
So my friends phone is stuck at the account verification screen after a factory reset. The owner isn't tech savvy so he asked someone to setup a google playstore account for him. So when there was problem with the phone and the screen blacked out I factory reset the phone. Everything came back but he doesn't know the google account that was used so now it's stuck during setup. Note the japanese keyboard trick doesn't work on this model cause it's not the same one in the tutorials there's no keyboard settings to view the privacy policy but I was able to get to the dialpad by viewing the motorola privacy policy at the user agreement screen and following the same instruction. My issue is that the test mode code *#*#4636#*#* doesn't bring up the test menu so I can't get to the settings to enable ADB debugging. Is there an alternative dialing sequence for this model? The other thing I wanted to try was to flash a different stock rom on this and maybe the dial sequence would work there. Other people had success doing that on other phones. So is it possible to flash a stock rom from say a xt1527 to the xt1528. My idea is even if the rom is buggy once I can get through the account verification to remove the google account I can re-flash the stock rom for the xt1528 back.
Can't flash a different ROM. The XT1528 has a locked bootloader.

thanks, I was hoping that since the hardware was the same it would accept a stock rom from another carrier without the need to unlock the bootloader.

Same here. I got a FRP locked xt1528 given to me. After wrestling with all known methods I could find, I finally reached the realization that I couldn't pull it off. I parted the device out on eBay. I'll give credit where credit is due. That's the most rock-solid FRP I've ever encountered. I bypassed a new Galaxy s7 in only a few days. That was child's play in comparison to the xt1528.

sounds like i got further along than you guys.
I was able to able to get into the settings on an frp locked xt1528. But I was still unable to bypass frp. Tapping on build did not enable debug. factory reset was greyed out. I was able to enable unknown sources and use chrome to download apks then launched the downloads gui to access the download folder then i tried to install the apks from the download folder but the install button was disabled so all i could do was cancel the install. Its locked up real tight.
I tried disabling setup but that didn't help.
update:
I was able to to get around the disabled next/install button and launched gsf.login to try the browser sign in but it doesn't sign in to google and keeps giving me the error : "there was a problem communicating with google servers ...". then I tried to take over with test dpc but it did not give the option to take ownership of the device but it has option for work profile. I added a work profile and i tried to add a work email and there was no message that the device was reset but the gmail account was not added because of the google servers error. I am hoping to add a tutorial once i succeed. Also factory reset needs root to be launched.
update 2
I managed to unblock the factory data reset in the menu but the phone was still frp locked after resetting through the menu.
Any suggestions?
update 3
I fully bypassed the frp and added a google account. I'll post a tutorial when I can.

You won't lose reactivation lock. If you root it and reset it then when you boot up it will ask for the last used Google account to be entered otherwise it won't boot up to system

No the phone will always ask for Google account aslong as Google account is connected to the phone. Why you so worried about your phone been stolen and bypassing reactivation lock?! Sounds a bit strange to me...
Just enable SIM lock and Google reactivation lock then if you was to lose it or it become stolen you don't need to worry.
Sound's to me like you have found/stolen this phone and you want to know if you can bypass reactivation lock with root.....
No my last phone note 4 was stolen and it was root so no reactivation lock and i couldn't block it
So i need to protect this phone and rooting it in same time without reactivation lock

You can password protect twrp. Also use a screen lock password, SIM lock password so it will require a passcode if the SIM is changed. Aslong as your Google account is logged in you will be fine. Also you only need imei to block the phone.
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?

Hello everyone and thank you for reading my post! I had an Android which I kept in a different state after I moved. After I received it by mail (after 2.5 years) I did a factory reset because I did not remember the passcode. But now to open the Android it requests the Google login for the Google account I had on that phone. In the 2.5 years I didn't have that phone, I also began to use a different Google account and I don't remember the old one. IS there a way I can get past this? Maybe with some software or hackery?
Humbly,
Tom

That's FRP (factory reset protection). Background: Let's pretend that your mobile device got stolen. The first thing a thief will do is to reset the phone, because without knowing the correct display pattern the device is pretty useless (and it's very hard to sold in that state ). Since the settings menu is also unreachable with a locked display the thief is forced to reset the phone via recovery mode. This mode must be always accessible by pressing the right key combo in case you are in serious trouble with an unbootable device. Doing it that way, the following setup of the device requires a login to the last active Google account to verify the owner.
This verification step is also required if you do a factory reset in your settings menu. But here the verification is done before you delete everything by entering your display pattern. This will disable FRP for the following reset because you have then verified that this device is yours.
@WoKoschekk thank you for your answer. Is there any software I can use? I once forgot the password to my windows computer and found software online that was able to unlock the computer. Do you know of anything like that for Androids?

We are talking of a security feature that protects the device. It's not allowed to give any help to bypass FRP in a public forum.
what phone model/android version we're talking about? samfw supports some devices.
