I have s9+ that I didn't know to remove Google FRP from before doing factory reset. So I go through the google recovery only to get thanks for having a recovery email but we still can't verify its you. It does not have service on the phone she switch to ATT got another phone I was going to reset and sell it for my daughter who no longer uses this phone. Is there anyway to get the phone working since google, Samsung and Verizon has been zero help. Someone said to flash combination file and that would do it. But I'm struggling to find the right file. Looks like from the recovery screen it is android 8.0/r16nw/G965USQS2ARF4. Any advice on how to recover from this google lock out would be much appreciated. thx
Did you have try wipe data / factory reset from recovery mode?
re
Yes that is how I got where I am I was trying to reset phone to sell and now when boot I can't get passed logging into google and like I said I have did recovery but it say even though I can receive recovery to back up email it can't verify me.

So i'm helping a buddy out that was having an issue with several Note 2's that were purchased from a company that restricted their employees access to a lot of things on the phone. My friend handed a couple off to me. The first one was not passcode locked and it was a breeze (Basically just enabled USB Debugging). It is up and running. The other ones are passcode locked and when you try to go into wipe the data/factory reset from recovery it says "MDM does not allow factory reset". The Note 2 I'm having issues with in particular has a locked bootloader on KitKat 4.4.2 through Verizon.
I've spent almost literally every waking moment trying to find a way around this issue. I may have compounded it though. I discovered ODIN, flashed the stock firmware in the hopes that it would clear the phone. It did not (password was still in place). I then decided to flash the stock firmware with the .Pit file for an SCH-I605 and made sure re-partition was checked as well as erase nand. After the process completed successfully and the phone rebooted it will no longer boot beyond the Verizon screen. I still have access to recovery and download mode but in recovery its throwing out a bunch of command lines such as E:failed to mount /data etc. I've tried to reflash the stock firmware with and without the .pit file to no avail.
In the mean time I've tried to unlock the bootloader, attempted auto root, and install custom recoveries to see if I could some how get around the MDM issue. I've also attempted to install or flash from ADB and its still the same deal.
Anyway I'm tired, kind of exhausted, and not really sure what avenues I have left. That's where I'm hoping some of you guys come in. If you have any questions for me let me know and I'll try to shed some more light on it for you. Data DOES NOT matter to me so if you can think of anyway I can get this thing completely wiped out it so I can start from scratch it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Is it just one phone with this problem or several? The mounting issues are becoming more common around here, and seem to be internal memory failure.

Well tonight I'll be getting my hands on a couple other test SCH-i605 phones that are in the same situation (Password locked and no ability to wipe from recovery) and I'll put them through the paces to see if I wind up with the same issue and get back with you on it.
The basic issue with this phone is just after trying that repartition with the pit file it doesn't want to boot beyond the verizon logo anymore and thats when it started throwing those errors in recovery. It could be a coincidence I guess.
I've been messing with Heimdall today to see if I could get a custom recovery flashed that way but the phone fails protocol initialization. The only thing I can get to flash to this phone is 4.4.2 and the i605 pit file through ODIN. Nothing else will budge.
I guess the question I really need answered, is there another way to wipe data/factory reset without the option in the stock Samsung recovery and no access beyond the lock screen?
What I have to work with is ODIN mode and whatever is in recovery that is not wipe data/factory reset.
So I did get my hands on a couple other phones with passcode locks that have the MDM lockout within the stock recovery that still fails to flash anything in Odin except the stock 4.4.2 firmware. So I can eliminate the idea its hardware. I have 4 phones here 3 of which have the same issue and the 4th I was lucky enough to not have a passcode. Quick fix to get MDM removed that way.
Again any ideas that are slightly more outside the box would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: If this helps the phone that is working that I manage to clean all of that stuff off of also throws the same error in ODIN with or without USB debugging so it leads me to believe there is something I'm actually missing... Time to go read more.
Well, sound like it is more than coincidence. Maybe you should contact Samsung and see if they can help?
Yeah I might do that. I'd just hope they have a one size fits all solution because I have about 600 to 1000 phones to tackle... Hahaha.
The conundrum here is that for the MDM company to release the lock on the phone I have to be able to get beyond the lock screen for the phone to process the request. To get beyond the lock screen I need the psswords that the previous company allowed their employees to put on the phones that for some odd reason they didn't have remove.
Anyway if I get this figured out i'll let you guys know how I got it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Title is self-explanatory. I got locked out of my phone, so I went into recovery mode and did a hard/factory reset then rebooted the device. Everything was fine and well until the Device Protection from 5.1 kicked in and asked me to log back into my google account due to "unauthorized reset". I cannot access that google account anymore; I only created it for this phone and I never wrote down the password. I tried every password recovery option. I am COMPLETELY locked out of my phone, AND I deleted all my data for no reason. Grrr.
I read somewhere that since DP wasn't intoduced until 5.1, flashing the phone back to 5.0 would circumvent the entire problem, making it a nonissue. What I need to know, is how to do this in download mode. Please tell me it's possible. I'll try anything at this point; the phone is already a paperweight so any idea is a good idea.
Hi, I have a samsung note 5 with factory reset protection because my brother doesnt remember his gmail from when he set up the phone and none of the methods to unlock it are working. Ive tried making a call and it works but i cant get out of the phone app, ive tried the otg method and the keyboard method. Everything I try doesnt work. I dont care if i have to totally erase it and put a custom whatever on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys
Hi! I believe you could always flash the same rom onto it. When you boot up the phone, hold power+home button+ volume down. Download and open odin (many guides here) and flash the same firmware to the phone. If you know your phone's software version or an equivalent version, then try googling for the tar.md5 file of it. Make sure to have re-partition checked as well and flash the rom onto it.
Another way (not sure if this is accessible on your phone but it is for most samsung devices) is to boot up the phone holding power+home+volume up. It will boot to recovery. Hit "Wipe data/factory reset" and reboot system now.

hi, did you manage to get past this, im having the same issue and ive tried all steps...
Hello all,
I have this LG K7 X210 variant that belongs to my niece. Because the phone was quite slow and almost full their parents decided to factory reset it.
However now at the initial setup after the reset, it always asks for the previous Google Account that was on the phone. The problem is that they don't know/remember neither the email nor the password!
I tried to factory reset it as well by booting into recovery but the same results. The reset finishes without errors however it still needs a Google Account that was previously used in the phone!
How can I bypass that? Is there any way to flash again the stock rom? I can't find anything for this variant online.
It's been over a month that phone is in this state!
Thank you!

Hey your phone FRP Locked by Google. You can bypass it by watching some tutorials or by using LG Up to restore again. There's a guy with a thread called LG Aristo 2 Tutorials by TeckNight and he has all the stock firmware and links to recover your phone.
Hello to whom may come upon this,
I flashed the v20-g8 engineer-laf file on my lg g8 att lg820UMi. I cannot personally boot back into my phone, nor even go into factory hard reset. When I boot into factory hard reset mode it does carry me to the finalized, "Do you wanna really reset all personal data etc...". But it just freezes after I press yes, and does not do nothing. I was trying to bootloader unlock my phone, but it was the wrong file or wrong format. It freezes in DL mode initially booting into DL mode and I can't access fastboot. Check s/n and imei does and factory reset yes, but continuing to actually factory reset and pressing the final yes; it hangs. So I do not know what to do. Rather there is an hardware fix to this internally or to just throw this phone in the trash. the digitizer on the phone is cracked, but the oled panel is still intact. Maybe someone could buy it for the microphone pieces and frame, but the motherboard on this phone is ****ed. I guess the boot.img is corrupted or whatever the bios to booting is dis-logged. Can anyone help? I wish it would just run the factory reset program fully then my system could restore itself, but we all know that the lg g8x att version does not have an kdz to be flashed plus the computer cant pick it up or communicate with the phone because it freezes in DL mode. Please help. I actually sort of love my phone(s). First time ever bricking an phone and usually an way out the hole but its like lg forced my in a ditch. Bad thing is I actually advertised this phone pretty well. LG cough...cough...do better or stop making phones for att because ATT is pretty stuck up because there towers and routers do the talk these days then their software. Ugh... Wasted my stimulus money
