I Wanted to know if there's a tool or method to bypass FRP and be able to use my own email Address

You got an invoice for that phone?
Technical service... With invoice you have no problem, without invoice you will not have solution
The best solution is to find the original owner of the device and ask them to remove the MDM lock as well as the FRP lock. The "honest" way is always the best way.
There are services that can bypass these but they are generally paid, and we do not allow advertising of paid services on XDA.

Not really true. Although we understand that one of the primary uses of MDM and FRP locks is to prevent stolen devices from being used, this is one of the "gray areas" of Android hacking; it is also true that many devices are not properly retired from fleet service by their owner organizations before they are sold, and FRP locks have become a common problem because users often simply perform a factory reset before selling their device. Therefore, we do allow the discussion, with some conditions:
We do not allow the use of XDA to discuss anything blatantly illegal. In this case, as long as the device isn't stolen and the person asking the question isn't breaking or trying to break any laws, it's fine.
We do not allow the use of XDA to make money or advertise; this includes paid content and services. Unfortunately many FRP bypass services are paid, so we don't allow sharing them here.
Hope this clarifies things.

It's not a stolen device,it's mine and i have the document that confirmes that
I'm actually using this mobile and i have already my Gmail Address on it,the problem is when you enroll à New device,there's a work email that is generated by intune and the password is known by anyone either the IT

Stolen devices are sold all the time. Simply having a receipt or an invoice isn't proof in of itself.
Still, what probably happened here is this device was owned by a corporate entity that failed to completely deactivate it before selling it. Happens all the time. The only thing you can do is try to find out who it belonged to and ask them to remove the MDM lock. Or, you can look for an unlocking service.

Take it to a TMO store, I doubt anyone here will be too willing to help giving the possibility that you may have a stolen device.
If it is rooted there is a way, I don't have the link, but you use adb to pull and edit one of the db's , if it is not rooted, then most likely SOL ...

i work at a cellphone repair shop. we also buy sale and trade phones. i use XDA a lot for the new android phones coming out when people have problems.
my coworker bought a vibrant from a customer that came into our store, the thing is that now the phone is patterned locked and we dont know the original email address. he said that it was working fine when he first purchased it. my guess is the customer unlocked it before my coworker played around with the phone.
anyways, no i didnt steal it. or any of that bs. we have a business license, a store front, and 99.9% feedback on ebay.

if you really did buy it, then call the person up and ask them.... unless i'm mistaken if any store buys stuff from customers they're supposed to document all information in case the item has been stolen
The phone is locked regardless. There is an android bug that doesn't allow the phone to verify the google credentials after you try the pattern lock too many times. Even if if was the OP's actual phone, he'd need to either factory reset, flash a new rom to the device, or get a replacement phone.
No one here will be able to help you get past it. There were security holes that allowed people to bypass it, but Google has sinec patched those, without fixing the fundamental issue (users, their children, their friends locking them out and basically "bricking" the device for all intents and purposes).
You got got, and it's probably a stolen device (not saying you stole it, someone else could have).
If you go to T-Mobile they will ask for you account information and check the IMEI against you account. T-Mobile uses different bands as AT&T so there aren't that many people buying Vibrants up front to unlock them and use them on different carriers, TBQH. If that IMEI belongs to someone else (it's even on you contract/reciept), they won't replace the phone. They will assume it's stolen.
Maybe if you start a contract/new line the reps in the store may help you out, though.
However, contacting Samsung may yield better results, but I think the Warranty is handled by T-Mobile, unless it's a hardware defect (hardware locked devices and pattern lockouts are both software issues).

yep, good call there. if the op purchased the phone he should have all of the sellers info on file.
Are on wind- and kitesurfing holidays in Western Ireland, Brandon Bay. Even here, there are thiefs that break into cars. They have stolen my two months old Galaxy S3.
Had a PIN protection on the phone. Have also disabled the SIM Card and changed the password of the Google account. After buying the phone, I had registred it at SamsungDive at activated the options on the S3.
However, I was not able to find the phone with SamsungDive. The phone was stolen six days ago. But after a Google Search, I found that everyone can easy perform a factory reset holding down all physical buttons, and I suspect that SamsungDive will not "survive" a factory reset.
- So, all this "Find my phone" applications seem to be useless when a thief can switch them off with pressing some buttons. Is this really true?
- Is there any possibility to "protect" a new phone better so that a thief can not use it?
- Have the IMEI Number of the stolen phone, but it seems that most carriers do not block individual stolen phones.
- Does anyone knows if Samsung or anyone else can disable a stolen phone worldwide according the IMEI number?
Thank you all in advance for any hints.
Franz
If you contact your network and give them your IMEI they can block that mobile on any network in UK so when that person who took your s3 try any simcard it will not register in the network.You will not be able to track it with any software if that s3 was reset to factory state someone can use this mobile abroad but not in UK.hope this explain your situation

I'm sorry to hear that franzschenk, but yes, it's true. The anti-theft apps are just good marketing (on android and ios also). The samsung dive will not survive the hard reset, so unfortunately is useless.
You should check with samsung, but afaik carriers can block a stolen phone based on IMEI, but you should contact the police. I friend had his phone stolen and the police took care of everything, and got the phone back (but in 2 months), so your best bet is the police.

With regards to theft protection apps being nullified with factory resets, some come as a CWM-flashable zip, which installs the apk to the system partition . This means even with a factory reset it remains, with the only way of removing it being manually uninstalling using a root file explorer or flashing a new rom, both of which I'd imagine the average thief not to be smart enough to do.
I recently bought an anti theft app called Cerberus which during my tests has proven to be realiable so far, even after a factory reset.
Most probably the phone will be sold on a flea market. You should call the police and give them the IMEI. Once someone powers it on and starts using, you will get your phone back.

Cerberus is awesome, installable as a system app so it survives a factory reset. Glad I got it when they made it free to download for a few days

It's now 2 weeks since the Galaxy S3 was stolen. The Samsung Dive Service is a joke, a thief can put it out of operation with about three keystrokes (see hard reset dot com website for example). So, no wonder that Samsung dive was unable to perform any remote operation on my stolen phone since two weeks. Unfortunately, the police here in Ireland seems also be not capable to block a phone with a specific IMEI number.
I feel betrayed by Samsung. If Samsung Dive would work, I would have good chances to find and recover my phone in this rural area of Western Ireland and would probably not have a loss of 600 Euros. I think Samsungs goal is that the thief can perfectly use a stolen phone, and that the victim has to buy a new one as well. They can't be so stupid, because the S3 is a great phone. But I will not buy a S3 again, in turns my stomach to spend money for Samsung again.
Have seen that this type of reset (easing all data and PIN protection with just some keystrokes) is not possible on the iPhone, for example. Does anyone knows recent Android phones that are better protected (in my opinion, there is absolutely no need to erase all data without entering in the operating system) and thus less attractive for thiefs?
Thank you in advance for any feedback

I read some time ago that CIA or some similar intelligence agency asked Google to unlock a phone locked by a Lock screen pattern for them because they were unable to. So a simple pattern can prevent anyone from using the device unless it is formatted before booting which means your private data is safe.
Also don't blame Samsung for not being able to restore your phone. It is Android security measure not to allow anything to activate GPS directly without prompt, and if it could Wifi or Mobile data is needed to transfer the Location coordinates back to you. So if internet is accessed when you use the Samsung restore future you will immediately get device location. Surely it would have been better if Samsung made the app wipe-proof which I think is also blocked by Android as a security measure.
Its easier on the iPhone! U just restore it through itunes

CIA would access the data on the phone. Security is not the question here. I don't care abaout the data.
When I'm doing a Google search for "iPhone factory reset", I can find how to reset the phone, but without erasing all data. In my opinion, that is the real problem with the Galaxy S3. Why does Samsung implement a function for erasing all data with some keys strokes without knowing a PIN? (had PIN protection and face unlook on my stolen S3) Can someone tell if this is possible with other Android phones as well?
Franz
Just a thought; but maybe you shouldn't have disabled the SIM if you were planning on tracking it. If they can't unlock the phone, how can the phone connect to WiFi and report your location?

All android phones can enter recovery mode with 2 or 3 buttons combination to reset the phone without password. It is not Samsung proprietary.
Iphones are just as easy. Put it into dfu mode and restore it on iTunes!

I've got the point now. It's all about selling phones and making money. Phone manufacturers and Telecom operators make money on each stolen phone. What is disapponting me very much is that Samsung pretend to offer a anti theft soulution. They even write in the users guide that Samsung dive can unlock a locked phone and activate the GPS receiver, but this is probably a lie as well.
Mobile phones have unique IMEI numbers since at least 10 years and I suppose that it would be very easy to take a stolen phone out of operation. But our Telecom provider tells me that this is not possible. I guess it's about money again, when thiefs cannot use stolen phones, less phones are stolen and less phones are sold.
@Mister_Mxyzptlk's: I think it's a bad idea to leave and Android phone unprotected. The thief could then buy a lot of expensive objects from the Android market. At least this didn't happen to me, I was able to change the Google account password before that happen.

Dear XDA fellows,
i requested a provider unlock code for my simlocked samsung s2
Unfortunately the code does not work at all.
Now i wonder why,
i have rooted the phone with the old ICS and used the galaxy s unlock app on it to use other providers cards.
A few months later (now) i updated Android to 4.12 and tried to use the provider unlock code on it but it did not work.
Rooted the phone again and tried various unlock apps, but none of them work.
Now i wonder why the phone has become so defiant to my attempts to unlock it, after all i treated it good for all the time that i used it.
Maybe someone has any suggestions on how to unlock the phone after all?
IMEI blocked
Hello Everyone,
I don't know if this is the right place to post my issue. Briefly.... After having a Samsung Galaxy s II, GT-I9100, with a contract in Italy (VODAFONE), having paid the phone in full, suddenly after two years, I decide to close contract,
The Vodafone bastards tell me that I must pay 380.00 € (threehundredeigthy) because of some invoices. This obviously according to them. I always paid everything. I refuse to pay this sum and open a controversy with them demonstrating with facts and papers at hand that it is not right I pay this amount. Anyway, after a week, they block my IMEI.
I think this is absurd. I PAID THE PHONE IN FULL!!! They want 380.00 € of telephone calls related to the SIM card. I don't want to pay this money. The phone is no brand.
I went to a lawyer, and he told me it's not worth the hassle to go to court for such sum.
What I want to know is:
Why should I have a phone that doesn't work after I have paid for it?
You need to contact a guy called "gaston" on here.
He works for vodafone italy in the customer service dept.

If they IMEI block the phone, you're boned. Nothing anyone here can do to help. If they block it, the phone is blocked at the carriers end & in many countries on all networks in that country.
And further talk about changing the IMEI will likely see the thread closed, given this is illegal in most countries & talk of same is against XDA rules. Go see a local mobile repair shop, some might be able to 'help'.

I've asked for help..If you come up with "What should we care", then I guess you shouldn't care of anything and not be on the site. I think this site other than an educational point of view, can also offer expertise and technical assistence as it is a really important internet forum. I really don't understand your rude answer..honestly it has no sense or help to me.
Why should he care.....hes not getting paid.You are involved in a civil dispute with vodafone or whoever,so this isnt the carriers complaints dept.
Then you start talking about an illegal method to help you out which is against xda rules.
So dont pay then,sell the phone and use the money towards buying another phone.Make sure it isnt a vodafone one......lol

Go on Ebay and look for faulty phones. Basically ones with broken screens. Stay away from water damaged ones and ones with the same problem you are having. Once you get it, you could swap out the motherboards and sell yours on Ebay. Sell yours outside of the country as it might work. This would be the easy way. It might cost you about 50 bucks but you could sell your motherboard and make it back.
Remember Google is your friend for changing IMEI. I would choose the option above.

I DON'T THINK IT IS ILLEGAL TO TRY TO HAVE A PHONE I PAID FOR WORK.,
I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS POSSIBLE.
And which part of changing an IMEI is both illegal, and more importantly, discussion of same is against XDA rules aren't you clever enough to understand ? I've reported this thread, hopefully your posts are removed (because the OP had legitimate queries about unlocking it until you hijacked it).

I'm really sorry if I caused any sort of trouble to any member of the forum. Honestly it was the last of my intents. I will obviously put a stop to my curiosity, thoughts & problems regarding the IMEI related issue to avoid any sort of problems. Sorry once again.
Regardless of the circumstances changing the IMEI, discussing how to change the IMEI, and I believe in the UK even possessing tools capable of doing so, is all illegal and can get the site in trouble. This is an issue you would need to take up with your local representative or vodaphone and should not be discussed in anyway here.
This is non-negotiable.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
There are a couple of local used phone stores that will unlock phones for a certain amount of money (example being iPhone 5s on Sprint for $50) and I have no idea how they are able to do this. Do they take apart the phone and find the unlock code somewhere within? Do they use a complicated software hack or use some sort of strategy that requires college education?
i was wondering the same, so many places around where i live do unlocking service

How is my post even remotely illegal if there are local businesses that outright say they do this? If it was illegal, those local business owners would be shut down and arrested already.
Ok let me explain.
There are 2 ways to go about this.
1. Is the legal way. This is when shops like this buy a large list of unlock codes from an Oem. Now there are rules they are supposed to follow when doing so. Most don't though.
2. The illegal way. This is done with a jtag system and some old school know how. I won't get into more then that.
As for things here. As you can expect anything posted here would be of the 2nd kind and as such not allowed to be posted.
On a side note. Don't assume that a business is legit. I have worked at a few that did things illegally as hell and never got bothered.
I purchased a moto z force on ePay. The iMEI number is ok (not stolen) with Verizon but the seller wiped it and now will not answer any if my emails . The Google security feature requires the past email and PW are needed to continue passed the beginning setup. Zero cooperation from seller... and PP and eBay won't help because it was as described ( or not disclosed). Is there any way to get passed this issue or did I get a brick or case parts. Can it be reflashed or some other reset be done? Thank you in advance for any help with this.

see http://www.rootjunky.com/motoreaper-frp-removal-tool/
Bypassing this by just anybody would defeat the purpose of this valuable safety feature and I would hope it is not possible. If Google did not provide a bypass to the legitimate sources (carriers) then shame on Google for not doing this. I would check and see if Verizon might be able to help you since it is not blocked and the owner who sold the phone to you would not be reporting the phone as stolen. Perhaps bring your receipt with IMEI number on it and they should be able to verify that you are legit and unlock your phone. Ebay should be tighter on this kind of thing!!!

If it was described as a working phone and the seller is ignoring you. Then file a complaint with ebay about the auction. Since you clearly can't use the phone. Take pictures of the device lock and when you file the complaint you will need to add them.
Yes I can ...and have time to do that but I was hoping to get this working because the price was very good. If not I will do that as a last resort.
