I have an ex gf who's brother in law recently died. As she's the only one left she has inherited all his stuff among which is a Galaxy Tab S6. This was used by the now deceased brother in law and she does not have access to either his phone (was a work phone) or his email. I have tried doing a factory reset but as it has previously been setup by the brother in law there no way to factory reset it.
What are my options here? Install a new rom (if that's even possible)?
Thanks in advance

The only choice left is to install a 3rd Party Custom OS. As installing the stock Samsung OS, which require you to enter the original owners password. The only other alternative would be to ask their company if they can remove the said device from the deceased person's Samsung account. Then you maybe able to use it.
Thanks! I was thinking about rooting it and that might be the way I go. Thanks again

Even if you root it there is a chance that the device will ask for you to enter the previous user's login password.

Hi there people,
When I was doing some gardening in my front yard I found a galaxy s2 lying under a bush next to the sidewalk that runs along the yard. I managed to clean it up and start it, but I can't acces the homescreen. Instead of factory resetting the device, I want to know the owner's contact info so I can return it. The phone has a numeric lock and doesn't seem bypassable. I tried using SDK to acces the phone but it doesn't register the device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

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.
So, my work bought a couple of Samsung Galaxy View SM-T670s. My boss set them up with his google account and all was well until he decided to return them. Long story short, it was pass the return period and they got factory reset instead of wiped. These things have been sitting in my office, gathering dust and now I need to use them, however my boss has forgotten which google account he used because apparently he has several. Why not go through them all? He's forgotten some of them.
Is there a way to bypass FRP? Is there a tutorial for it? Or a link to whatever I need to download to achieve it?
I found a way

I found a way to do it, took me some time, if any is interested let me know so I can post the steps for it.
Hey, i'm having a similar situation to you with this problem. We've been using a Galaxy View for one of our client and the info in it is registered with his account. The problem now is that he left the company and won't give us the info regarding the account that was used. We now need to set it up for a new client and are stuck with it. We tried to Factory reset it the hard way and got stuck on this FRP screen.
If you have a couple of minutes, we'd greatly take any info you could give us to wipe it completly.
Thanks.
Let me know on the FRP. Same situation. Bought 80 of these off lease from a medical company. 20% are FRP still
Using ADB...
Soooo, I spent the good part of a few hours trying to get a Verizon Galaxy View unlocked as the user of it forgot what e-mail/password they used, and it just keeps throwing you through a loop if you don't put the correct one.
I finally found both the firmware for the Verizon View to flash using Odin, and a "custom" userdata.img that looks like it installs a package that enables USB Debugging. It looks like it was designed to remove FRP from Exynos Samsung Phones but while it installs a package that appears to enable USB Debugging, it does fail out trying to resize data which is no big deal. Just reboot out of the Recovery screen, and once it's boot up, use the ADB command below.
I've attached the Exynos.tar file below (extract it from the 7z) and then flash that as "userdata" using Odin and the factory firmware of whatever View you have.
Once you get ADB going, then you just type in this and boom, you're in.
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
That will kick it past the Google Setup screen and to the main home screen after the "Device Setup" screen upon boot up.
Once you finish this, make sure you go into Settings and do a Factory Reset.
Anyway now I'm in and its working like champ.
Hey kingpablo if you wanna send/sell me one of those tabs for cheap for the help, hit me up. My wife would love one.
Thank you for the process!
I used the file you attached and flashed as described. I did not have to use ADB, the tablet just booted up to the Desktop. I did a factory reset without saving any user data and all is good. I received this on. My father in law did not remember what account he used for this and is happy once again.
This process is going to get me doing more in the android world. It was the kick in the pants that I needed.
Stay safe and have a Wonderful Day!
Good morning, everyone,
I appeal to your knowledge because I don't know what to do anymore. I have an Honor 7 that I gave to my son. It was unlocked and custom firmware installed.
He had another phone and so put the honor7 aside. Lately I've been trying to take it back. I made a complete rest.
Until then, everything is fine. The phone starts. I am coming to the configuration page. I enter the IDs of my account (on which the phone is registered) and the... ren to do google tells me that this is not the owner account.
We tried with all the accounts and emails we could have but nothing to do.
I find myself with a phone that is unusable and blocked by google. Knowing that the reset has locked the bootloader and that I can no longer install custom firmware.
Have you ever had this case?
Thank you for your help.

Don't work
That's called factory reset protection or "Google lock".
You said you have installed custom rom? According to this https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2016/05/understanding-and-bypassing-reset-protection/ you should be able to remove the lock by reflashing your rom (or just gapps if those were not included in that rom).
Hope this helps
Is there a current, standalone method for bypassing google account protection or factory reset protection on the Samsung Galaxy A02 USA Variant?
Recently purchased from a buy sell trade group claiming fully unlocked and factory reset, ready to go. Absolutely FRP locked.
As irritating as this is, I currently do not have access to a PC and am hoping to utilize a method on the device alone to bypass.
Update, I have tried using a PC along with multiple "premium unlock options" as well as ADB and FastBoot commands. Nothing seems to work with this device. I've put it into fastboot mode successfully, but none of the normal fastboot commands work to remove frp. This is why you don't buy used phones online.

You can find remote FRP unlocking solutions on Ebay (runs about 20 bucks). Basically you hook up the phone to your pc and run a USB redirector software, then a tech on the other hand uses the official Samsung server to calculate the FRP key for any Samsung model and firmware version. It worked for me a number of times.
Pm me and ill send you the firmware I used

My pleasure, I hoped it helped. Let us know your progress
At the end of my wits, i am reaching out to the great minds for aid with frp removal.
i have a samsung a02s sm-124d. At this point i have tried dozens of methods with and without pc, tool, and more. This phone does not do alliance knox, not the emergency call, and i cant really find anything that doesnt lump it over to 124dl, which it is not and im afraid would brick it.
Only thing i havent tried is with another samsung but that isnt an option atm. i have os launcher 14 on it, access to most apps and galaxy store. major settings are still locked. Any idea what would be best route?
Thanks for taking time to hear me out.

its android 11. i can get into settings with os14 and have hidden settings installed, but it wont let me into apps, change my lock screen, and anything google checks and wants me to put in pass or previous account. i was able to indirectly sign into chrome through google, but it doesn't go into the phone.
thought maybe if i was signed in to chrome and tried to link samsung account with it; but it still wants me to sign into google.

Try "add to home screen" from chrome. Don't worry about bricking the phone. It's really hard to permanently break a phone. Almost always you can hook a samsung up to odin and start over. The only phones I haven't been able to fix without a new motherboard is a motorola and an Apple.

ill give it a try. *edit* looked everywhere. can ya fill me in on that?
currently it will quite often bring up my os right after it showing the welcome screen. There are references to 124d at a few sites, including samfw, but nothing more. The detailed model info i got off of the imei is correct, but since some programs say 124dl, i figure that would be my next move.
I am planning to brainstorm/plot out a methodology on the darn thing. i figure it might be worth the headache warning for anyone else lol!
Also, my kiddo handed off a samsung to me, and two days later so does my uncle, nice older models with display issues. so i may even figure that out and try some two phone action.
Apologies for the long ramble, And thanks, jayvee1, everyone, y'all have been awesome.

If you still have this issue dm me, I had it and I was able to get rid of it.. p.s. it will cost you...
