So i'm trying to remove a google account from this device. Tried all ways and is still asking for the same thing - account previously used on the device to continue.
The tabled was setup by somebody and eventually lost access. Tried to factory reset it but no luck. FRP enabled.
Is there something i am doing wrong maybe? Thank you!

It's hard to advise since you haven't said what exactly you're doing.
The more detailed you describe, the easier it will be to help you.
FRP can only be removed on a running system, not by flashing the firmware.
I am trying to remove the FRP.
I thought with the firmware i could reset the tablet.
So i have lost access to the synced account basically. I am trying to bypass the security. Tried to recover the password for the google account but since it was a new tabled with a new account i have not so many informations to be able to recover it.
I have also tried the method with Alliance Shield but i can't access Google Play neither.
Have you unlocked bootloader? It's there in the developer settings as "OEM Bootloader Unlock"
I cannot trigger developer mode. Tried but no luck. No message apears when i tap Build Number or any info about the device.
Are you sure you did it right? You are supposed to tap 'build number' seven times, because tapping once will not help. You may already know the above fact, though
Edit: Spelling error.
I did. Nothing happens. Tapped several times but nothing pops up. I am an apple user this is my cousin's tablet received as a gift this Christmas. He is only 9, tried to set it up himself with the help of another cousin....They forgot the password and tried to factory reset it after.
Also, there are quite a few videos about disabling FRP, have you tried them out yet?
Yes i did ... no luck ... I am taken to different not-so-trusted websites with unknown programs (potentially viruses).
Just found this here where it says to clear cache partitions:
Developer Mode Not Showing
I have the SM-N9600 model on TMO, running 8.1, and not rooted. I tapped the Build Number repeatedly to turn on Developer Mode, and I accessed it the first time, but now it's not showing up anyplace. Also, when I try to redo it again, a little pop...
forum.xda-developers.com
Please try it out as I don't have a physical tab on me. I am sure it will not remove data and such, so feel free to do so. You can access it by booting into the recovery options.
It also says that you can alternatively "Place a Nova Activities widget on your desktop, then, take a look around in the Settings section of the widget, see if there's something for Developer Options."
I did clear the cache several times. Factory reseted the phone also but no luck.
Is it possible for you to use ADB instead of using Odin? I am not sure if it will allow you to pass through without oem bootloader unlock enabled, but it's worth a try.
You also should remember to install adb platform tools and also install samsung dev drivers.
ADB not working neither.
I think I know exactly what is the issue either you should downgrade to FW patch prior feb 22 since KNOX doesn't allow to run developer option unless work environment is set-up. In those upgrades you can use Talkback for FRP bypass.
You can try pro disabler method to enable knox and get developer options then from there.
After disable knox https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ite-emergency-call-factory-test-mode.4502277/
@Abish4i so if knox is removed, dev settings are also removed? Could you please explain it to me if that's fine by you?
Once you get Knox verification done Developer options are enabled by system. You cannot remove knox without adb unless using Root.
When i try to install any apk the settings crashes. I don't think there is any hope for this device ...
Is it organization owned? What is your current FW patch?

My friend's little sister was playing with this device and she somehow lock the device. Now, when I turn on the tab it asks for gmail account and password.. (which my friend tried his own and no luck with google verifcation etc). Is there anyway to reset this device?
In this device there is no custom or stock recovery. Just a dead android sign when open recovery nothing else. Also I cannot tick USB debugging from the settings because I cannot access the OS.
Please tell me how to reset this device? Is there any hardware solution or tutorial available to factory reset any android device?
here is device specifications
solution
did u find a solution to the issue
yes it has a reset button.
In order to sync with my work account, I need to have my Lock Screen enabled with either a pin or a password (NOT swipe).
Whenever I select PIN, it asks me to input the pin and confirm, which I do - but when the screen exits it still has Swipe as the selected Screen Lock setting. Same happens when I try to set a Password.
I tried to boot into Safe Mode (hold vol dn while booting) and that had the same results. I tried rebooting a couple times, no dice.
Has anyone else had issues setting a Screen Lock!?
Additional Info:
I recently upgraded to NC5 with Root via Surge1223's method with a MK2 bootloader from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726868
Additionally, I tried removing my work Google account completely, and uninstalling the Google Apps Device Policy application. When I go back to Settings>Lock Screen>Screen Lock: The only selectable options are PIN and PASSWORD - which is what I would expect if my device policies were still activated. The other options like Face Unlock and Pattern are all greyed out with the phrase "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage.
Ugg. This sucks! My next option I guess, unless someone knows of a work-around, would be to completely reflash the phone again. Just annoying.

So I went ahead and Factory Reset and Flashed the NC5/SU/Update-through-odin again.
And the options are still greyed out!
I'm thinking something is left over from the first time I encrypted my phone before I originally flashed the referenced updates the first time.
Can someone help me completely reformat all of my partitions? How can I completely get rid of any residual encryption?
Found some details saying that the wipe within Safestrap/TWRP doesn't always work correctly.
*Booted into Samsung Recovery (stock version)
*Wiped Factory Reset
*Wiped Data
*Wiped Cache
*Attempted to install the NC5 update through Stock Recovery - got errors saying the footer was wrong plus some extra stuff, but the phone reset.
*Quickly held the buttons to get into Download mode (was worried about losing root)
*Attempted to boot into Safestrap recovery but went into normal boot (didn't get the option)
*Phone boots but Pin/Password are still the only options (and won't engage either; Swipe always stays engaged)
*SuperSU still installed (???) If I did a full wipe, and never reinstalled, how is that possible?
A helpful XDA user pointed me towards this:
=====================================
Change the following in build.prop found in system folder using a root explorer app. Es file doesnt seem to work so try another.
security.mdpp=none
To
#security.mdpp=none
================================
This fixed my inability to get the pin/password to be selectable (and allowed selection of all other options as well)
However, whenever I select device encryption again, I simply get a big green Android encryption screen, and the phone goes black, then resets.
Hey all,
My phone updated today and ever since I cannot move past the initial lock screen. When unlocked, the UI appears to crash and send me back to the lock screen. My pin code works for turning the phone off, restarting the phone and putting it into emergency mode, which indicates some sort of UI crash.
Because this is a new account I can't post a link to a video of the issue directly, but the YouTube video code is: 8ZhlH-Tt-NU
I have tried the standard fixes like wiping the cache partition and booting into safe mode, but these don't seem to make any difference. Unfortunately I never logged into my Samsung account on this device, so their 'Find My Mobile' service is not an option. I am however signed into my Google account on the device and it does have wifi/network enabled.
The phone is running PPR1.180610.011/G965FXXU2CSA8
On the phones internal memory is a bunch of photos from a recent trip to Japan, I'm a fool for not backing these up sooner but I would hate to lose them.
Has anybody experienced anything like this before, and is there any way for me to get back into the phone, or atleast recover the photos that I took?
Thanks!
Edit:
One potential route out of this I can see is sideloading the same or a subsequent OTA update using ADB to hopefully fix the issue. Unfortunately despite some digging I can't find any updates that will allow installation from: PPR1.180610.011/G965FXXU2CSA8
If anybody has any information on this specific firmware version (Is it beta 3? beta 4? ect.), its installation path and where files relating to it may be listed/hosted it would be appreciated. Also how disasterous would it be to take a mismatched OTA upgrade and modify the metadata to allow it to be sideloaded onto the phone? I assume this would almost certainly break the OS completely but I'm not too sure.
You can try to flash your firmware again with ODIN, but with the HOME_CSC (Important!)

Thanks for the reply Profi I had no idea using HOME_CSC would retain user data. I have tried flashing a few different versions of Pie (wish HOME_CSC) using Odin but with no luck, every time the phone boots I have the same problem. Do you know if there is a sure way to downgrade to Oreo while retaining user data? I have seen a few posts of people attemping this and getting stuck in bootloops, eventually requrining them to factory reset.
To give a final update on this. I attempted the Oreo downgrade, upon reboot the phone was stuck in a bootloop so I updated to Pie again. When the phone booted I tried the pin code as quickly as I could, and after some glitchy graphics on the screen it unlocked. From here I turn on the stay awake while plugged in feature in the developer options and managed to transfer all my data over to PC.
I don't believe it was the firmware changes that actually made any difference, because any further attempts to put my pin in, to remove the pin code for example, failed and cause the same crashing behaviour.
All data is recovered, I have factory reset the phone and all appears to be behaving as normal again. If anybody stumbles upon this with the same issue, all hope is not lost, but unfortunately I was unable to determine a realiable way to overcome it. It seems in this case it was just dumb luck.
Thanks for the assistance.
Hello to all,
i have an xperia z3 compact and i left it out of use for a while due to broken screen, i finally changed the screen but realised that i have forgotten the lock pattern.
Any way to unlock it without losing my data in the internal memory?
If it helps and if i remember correctly,
1) i had usb debugging and developer options enabled
2) i haven't rooted it (for sure).
3) phone has kept the credentials for my wifi, gmail, etc, so it's connected when i turn it on (and of course i have those credentials).
4) it probably has android 6 (marshmallow) installed.
5) i tried with "find my device" from google, and while it sees my phone, it says "Find My Device is turned off" so the option for locking it anew is greyed out and i can't access it, so this method doesn't work.
Any ideas? is it possible to bypass the pattern and get inside to get my stuff and apps?
thank you to anyone reading this and wanting to help me out.
I don't think that's quite possible. The few ways to bypass the lock have pretty much disappeared with recent Android versions.
Best of luck!
thank you, i'm so frustrated. At first i wanted to save my data and bypass the pattern, now i just want to be able to use my phone again even if i lose the data and i can't even do that!
There is no hard reset for this model!
I just can't believe that there isn't any way possible to get back your phone if you forgot your pattern!
no way to have recovery or TWRP in a locked phone with usb debugging on?
no way to push adb commands?
There should be something for situations like that
Hey! So yeah, loving the phone but it's giving me a headache; it's not rooted or tampered with. Not even OEM unlocked. Only developer options were unlocked. Apps and settings were migrated from my previous Samsung phone with SmartSwitch.
From the download menu:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
FRP LOCK : ON
OEM LOCK : ON (L)
KG STATUS : COMLPETED(00)
VOID WARRANTY : 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT : ENABLE

All kinds of root and safetynet and whatever apps pass and software and security patches are up to date (Google Play 1 January 2023, Android security patch 1 February 2023, Status: Official)
But Samsung Pass says "Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons." Banking apps are obscure but one does give some hints as to the possible causes: modification attempt through hooking, using untrusted screen reader application, root or jailbreak, using untrusted keyboard application.
I use AdGuard and a 3rd party launcher (Flick) instead of OneUI and FlorisBoard keyboard but even if they are uninstalled the issue stays. I don't use any other major apps, just a bunch of regular apps. I don't use "screen reader" as far as I know and TalkBack is disabled.
This is really annoying and I can see dozens of similar cases even for older Sxx generations sometimes after updates and happening out of nowhere and even with new stock phones. People report that sometimes factory reset helps but sometimes doesn't and sometimes it only helps for a while.
I really don't want to factory reset just to try if it works until I exhausted all other options. It took me well over a day to set up everything the way I wanted.
Any help other than reset is very much appreciated!
Find Samsung Pass in apps...and clear data.
^Thanks, but it didn't help.

I have the same issue and Im thinking about it is caused by smart switch from my old s21u which was rooted. Did You use smart switch too? Maybe I should do a factory reset, but then I lose all my stuff..
^Yep, I also used SmartSwitch with a rooted S9+. And I did find a few posts about SmartSwitch being the issue. But there are also some posts that said that reseting and not using SmartSwitch but manually installing all the apps they used the issue came back later. So far not using SmartSwitch is the only thing that might help but hopefully there's something else I can do to fix this without reseting.

My banking apps refused to work until I closed developer mode, it worked normally again, give it a try it may help, otherwise do a hard reset, and don't use smart switch next time

Install Riru. It will tell you what symptoms of root it detects and could help to understand the cause of this issue.

HOLY ****! I could kiss you right now! That tool is awesome!
It was Xposed installed automatically with SmartSwitch which I didn't notice or even ever opened on this phone. Uninstalled it and everything works! Thank you!
I had magisk installed lmao.. (cuz of the smart switch)
