This is not a flaw in the setup or using ODIN. This is an anti-theft measure that prevents the phone from being stolen (or used if lost) by someone. If this is what your seeing after resetting the phone or flashing it and your not the Google Account owner then your options are:
Get the person who had the phone last enter there Google Account details so you can Factory Data Reset the device. Afterwards you should be able to enter your Google Account information and then the FRP lock re-activates (which means your google account would be needed if it happens again).
Return the device (if you purchased it) because it may be lost and/or stolen.
Otherwise if you really are the person whose Google Account was used there are three options. The first two should work, the last is if the first two don't work:
After updating the phone simply sign into the google account using the account name and password. Afterwards just factory data reset the phone from within the settings menu (SETTINGS > GENERAL MANAGEMENT > RESET > FACTORY DATA RESET).
Before flashing any updates perform the factory data reset (SETTINGS > GENERAL MANAGEMENT > RESET > FACTORY DATA RESET).
Seek help from 3rd party companies. You will have to Google search this one on your own, as I will not be able to help because the phone may not be rightfully yours and/or maybe lost and/or stolen. Please note I am not saying it is yours or not, just that it might not be.. Most people won't encounter the FRP lock issue with the phone they own.

Hi everyone, My friend has Oneplus X which he was using. During first time setup, I think he enabled device protection feature.
Due to some reason, he did factory reset on his Oneplus X, and also changed his Google account password and his recovery phone number
After factory reset when tried to configure his Google account, it gives error " Please sign in using one of the owners account for this device"
We are able to login his google account on computer,
We also tried to for wipe data/factory reset through recovery
Read on some websites that Google account is locked for 72 hours if we do factory reset and change password. Its been 5 days but still cant configure the google account on the phone
Please help as the phone has become useless

Don't your friend knows what he has done with it ? Then it should be easy
I bought a lg optimus zone 3 off ebay.. the seller forgot to delete the google account so when i try to set up the phone it wants the info for the account that was on it before... the seller changed his password then gave me the info to get in the phone but everytime i put the info in it reset back to needing the email and password again.. heres what it says:
This device was reset.. To continue , sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device..
is there anyway to just bypass this or some how delete the google account from the phone ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/lgvs425pp-optimus-zone-3-stock-t3515462
Instructions there will definitely work.
May be easier option but this will 100% work because I've done it several times and each time it makes the phone "factory fresh"
I have an LGVS425PP Optimus Zone 3 on which I cannot get past the factory reset protection. It is not stolen. It does not present "Accessories" on the welcome screen after factory reset. I have tried to go into Talkback settings, "Terms of use" to open a Chrome browser and "share" as a backdoor to create a google id. Share does nothing when clicked. I also tried to right click in Chrome to get the "assist" option to go into settings, but it does not give the "assist" option. Finally, I tried the advice in this thread... using the LGUP software to "UPGRADE" to PP8.zdk. The firmware flash worked, but contrary to the assertion in this thread, the firmware upgrade did not get rid of the factory reset protection. I tried "refurbish" but the software gives an error that this firmware is not compatible with the refurbish function. So, is there any way I can circumvent the FRP on this phone? I'm out of ideas. BTW, I haven't tried the Tunglick tool because the screenshots did not show this phone in the menu of phones it can work on.
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 UNDERSTAND -- I'M LOOKING TO PRESERVE THE DATA, NOT RESET THE PHONE AND ERASE EVERYTHING**
My daughter, unexpectedly, passed away last month and I just received the phone from the investigators. I didn't know her PIN but want to preserve any data.
My daughter's phone displays "Your phone is encrypted for security. To start up your device, enter your PIN." A number of attempts at the PIN has left me with 3 attempts before it resets to factory default settings.
When I contacted AT&T for help, they directed me to Samsung. The Samsung technician directed me to a YouTube video that claims to download the data, perform a factory reset and then restores the data. It seems very sketchy to me and would rather talk to the experts here.
I have rooted phones in the past but it's been 4+ years. I am very cautious about trying anything that would jeopardize losing the data for good.
I have seen one video that demonstrates unlocking the PIN by installing TWRP, browsing with the File Manager to /data/system/ and renaming whichever file is associated with the PIN (ie. gatekeeper.password.key, gatekeeper.pattern.key, etc.). I don't know how to install TWRP if her phone doesn't have USB Debugging enabled. She and I have identical phones so I am willing to try anything on my phone prior to trying it on her phone.
** NOTE ** Through some trickery of swapping SIM cards, I was able to reset her Google password having Google text a code which has to be entered in order to set a new password.
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

Hello cmfCyangenModteam and thank you for your answer! I have a relatively new Google account. The problem is that the phone requests my old Google account because that's the one that I had when I used the phone. I tried inputting my newer one and the phone rejects it and doesn't unlock. I don't remember the old Google Account. How can I unlock it?

Have you tried doing a complete Factory Reset? If not, you can do that and then add this new Google Account.

I remembered it!
Factory reset many times until function "Create Google Account" appears.
Remove SIM from the phone.
Use Wi-Fi while setup is on process

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.
