I got a Galaxy Tab A7 which was factory reset because the owner (my friend's niece) forgot the pin, but FRP was on and she doesn't remember the email she used on installation, so it can't get past the first installation screens. No, it's not stolen, I can post a purchase receipt here if needed.
It's on stock android, bootloader and OEM are locked, unfortunately . I tried using the adb procedure, but get an "error: closed" message, and all commands fail. Is there any way to unlock it, or it's bricked beyond hope?

Hi people!
I know, I'm completely newbie in this.
But I'm getting in trouble and confused about it.
The question is simple:
What's means FRP lock / unlocked and Phone lock / unlocked?
And what's the difference between them?
FRP means Factory Reset Protection. If locked your phone will be protected of unauthorized factory resets. If a stranger tries to reset your phone, the phone will ask for your Google password on startup.
So if you unlock FRP you will lose that protection but this is required too unlock your bootloader (that's what you called phone locked/unlocked).
Phone locked (bootloader locked) means that you cannot make any changes too the partitions of your phone for example the recovery. So you are required to unlock your phone to install custom recoveries and ROMs like TWRP or RR etc.
Hope I could help you clear some things up.
If you're planning to sell your Android phone, make sure to remove your Google account from it first or else the next owner wouldn't be able to use it.

actory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models.Mar 29, 2016

Hi everybody,
My question is going to sound stupid, but now that I've got the unlock code for the bootloader, how do I unlock the FRP?
It is to this part that I am lost.
Sorry but I'm not very young anymore and not healthy. I had a big car accident and am much more on my phone and my computer

You need have enabled OEM unlock in Developer options for unlock FRP

Hi,
OK so I activate the OEM to unlock the FRP.
And for unlocking the Bootloader I can use Huawei Multi Tools?
Should I delete my Google Account or Huawei before doing these manipulations?
I do not have fingerprint or pattern lock.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
This video is for the Honor 8, but the same steps are used to unlock the bootloader on the Honor 9.

I unlocked the bootloader. Done on the instructions of the website:https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/step. After unlocking bootloader on my phone fastboot appeared the inscription "PHONE Unlock" and "Unlock FPR". On my device sprosili settings. After that, I re-entered entered the Google account, but the phone then began to hang periodically. I went into developer mode, done a factory reset there. And decided to turn back. Went to fastboot, blocked Downloader. Phone rebooted, then on the screen appeared the inscription: "Relock PHONE" and "FPR Lock". Out of fastboot, there was a black window where it says to restore the system through recovery in the air, but when I try to do fails. Help me, please!

Hi Guys and Gals,
Sorry if this is one of hundreds similar questions regarding the S7 FRP but I believe I have exhausted methods listed on advice posts, this is kinda last resort.
Sadly, my Grandfather recently passed away and he left my mum his S7 G930... my mother then had a friend do a factor reset on the phone but was unable to login into the phone once it was reset as it was asking for previous owner. Yep, they didn't remove his account before doing so, nor did they enable USB debug and I am unsure if OEM lock is disabled or enabled.
Following the advice of the post on here labeled: [GUIDE]All-In-One(stock FW/CSC/ROOT/TWRP recovery/FRP unlock/PIT/unbrick/bootloader)
1. [ODIN FAIL] I tried to flash using CF-Auto-Root (cfar_samsung_sm-g930f_heroltexx_nrd90m.g930fxxu1dqg1_t0) but get the issue custom binary is blocked due to FRP lock.
2. [ODIN PASS but...] Then I followed the advice of downloading the stock firmware G930FXXU1DQG1_G930FOXA1DQG1_BTU and flash just the BL (bootloader) and CP (Modem), sadly... after resetting the device it boots up still asking for the previous owner details which obviously we don't have.
3. [ODIN PASS but...] In the same post it says if the above fails simply FULL STOCK flash which using G930FXXU1DQG1_G930FOXA1DQG1_BTU. I select BL, AP, CP and CSC and ODIN passes without fail but rebooting the default it starts to setup the install and applications, then get the Google previous owner message.
4. [Smart Switch FAIL] Reports USB file transfer is not allowed.
I did read somewhere that you can pair a Bluetooth device after hanging up on emergency services, I'd rather not even attempt this method is unethical.
Is this phone a bin job? or is there anything else I can try? would be nice if my Mum could have a upgrade and something that was his.
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?

Phone: Asus Zenfone 3 ZC520TL
Hi all. So I have a frustrating issue with my phone after having updated to the last official firmware from the Asus website. I noticed that the phone operation was very slow, so I decided to do a factory reset from recovery. Everything went well until I am somehow locked out of my phone via FRP. The weirdest thing is that instead of asking for google credentials, it's asking for a pattern, which I am correctly inputting but it refuses to recognize it. So now I'm stuck with a locked out phone. Am I SOL at this point or is there a way to get past this other than taking it to a service center?
Things I've tried that haven't worked:
1. tried to erase user config in fastboot (returned error FAILED)
2. wiped all data in recovery
3. tried to flash to an older version via asus flashtool but didn't work as the device isn't recognized
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look inside here.
Recently purchased a used Galaxy Tab S6. I was warned it had a warning about the bootloader being unlocked. No big deal. The seller couldn't remember his Samsung account credentials so we couldn't factory reset at time of purchase via Settings. No big deal. I went into Download Mode and relocked the bootloader. I went into Recovery Mode and Factory Reset.
Then I ran into "This tablet is protected by Know Cloud Service. To continue setup, connect to a wi-fi or mobile network." I've done that (since I can't skip the step) and get the dreaded "Can't create work profile" error and that's as far as the set up will go.
So I used Odin to flash the latest stock ROM and factory reset again and wiped the cache and I'm still having that problem.
In download mode, I've confirmed that Knox has been tripped.
I've googled like mad and I'm not finding a solution. Can anyone help me out? I'd prefer to stay on Stock ROM so there are no hardware issues (particularly with the SPen) as I'm planning to use this device extensively for note-taking (with OneNote). However, I'm open to custom ROM if that's my best/easiest/simplest route.
Thanks in advance!
If you're able, unlock the bootloader again. When you flashed with Odin, did you use the CSC or HOME_CSC file?

I used CSC. As I understand it, that is the "deeper" reset option.

Correct, that wipes user data.
Unlock the bootloader again, which will wipe the device (again), and see if it's removed the FRP. If not, you should be able to flash TWRP, from which you should be able to flash this to disable the FRP.
I can't access the developer options because I can't get through the setup wizard. So I can't flip the OEM Unlocking so the download mode doesn't give me the option to unlock. I can connect to ADB via the Recovery Mode but Fastboot doesn't see it so I can't do "oem unlock." Are there any other methods to unlock it? My friend Google hasn't found any yet.
Seller was able to login to both his Google and Samsung accounts and remove the device from them. That got me through the 100% Know Enrollment Service before it hung up in the "update" portion again. He was also able to send a message to the tablet from the Samsung account to try and release it further but, of course, since I've wiped it, that message can't get through.
I'm getting desperate. I might have bought a paperweight! Any once else have a suggestion?
Checked with the seller. He bought it from Kijiji as well from the original owner. It's always been a personal device, never an institutional one.
Last night's searching of the internet determined that the device is in "prenormal" status so I'm just going to wait 7 days and reboot. That might be sufficient. Nothing to lose at this point.
