Samsung id??? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a friend who bought a Galaxy Note 3 (Verizon) and when he got it he realized it was rooted with a custom ROM and he did not want that. He asked me if I could unroot his phone and I said yes. I successfully unrooted the phone and installed latest firmware and after it booted up I got the message "The device experienced an unexpected factory reset; Please sign in with your Samsung ID that you used to register this device". Problem is my friend does not know who owned the phone before him. I think it was an open box from Verizon (where he works... well Procom Wireless). Does anyone know of a way to overcome this?

Your problem is due to "Reactivation lock" option that was previously enabled in Settings. Of course, you don't have the e-mail or the password of the account that was used in the phone before the factory reset. You have two ways to bypass this. I am not responsible if these methods won't work or if they are used in other purposes .
The methods are taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2465863&page=3.
Method 1 by Giulianos306: "First of all I have to say that I've created this account just to share what I did with this problem. It took me, after doing dozens of hard reset and flashing firmwares, 10 minutes. Maybe, the seller never activated the phone (that's what happened to me) and this screen is appearing by mistake. So what you have to do if this is your case is to connect the headphones that came with the phone and press the button for 1-2 sec. Then the SVoice will apear and there you can use voice commands. So you just say "Start Settings" and it will open the setting where you have to activate the reactivation lock (maybe isn't necessary, but that way worked) but this time using your samsung account. Then you just have to do a factory reset (from the settings, not from the recovery) and your phone will be unlocked. It will restart and then you can set it up normally. Hope this works for you as it do for me."
Method 2 by max_ray: "Goto accessibility option which is available on the first screen where you select language..then goto Text to speech option..then from the settings goto Install voice data and try to download any language..It will ask you to enter samsung account details...Enter your own samsung account details..once the download is complete..go back to screen where it was showing abnormal factory reset adn then enter your samsung account..It will go through.."

[Q] HELP! My phone is locked with Android Device Manager and I can't unlock it!

Call me stupid, but I'm really desperate and begging for help! I used the Android Device Manager on my Tab 3 8.0 to remotely lock my phone. So it worked. But when I used the password to unlock the phone that was set earlier on ADM, my phone keeps saying that it is the wrong password.
Fair enough, I actually used my home PC to do the exact same thing. I went to the ADM site and set alphanumeric and numerals only password and still, WRONG PASSWORD!
What can I do?! I restart the phone and then nothing worked!
Hello siva992, put it back into the two new password in the computer I use only four digits, not failed. Remember to use new numbers, not the same as you have before. Good luck.
You should contact them for help as if it's not notes fail.
If no other ways then you have to do a reflash with Odin.

i too had locked my nubia device through android device manager.
it can be bypassed by rebooting into recovery mode and you need to format /data and /cache.
after this restart your phone through recovery mode it may take 5 to 10 minutes to finally show "android is updating your apps " something like this.
this method worked on my nubia mini and i thing technically it might work on every android phone that is capable of booting into recovery mode.
this method would not delete your photos,music,etc.
only contacts and app data will be gone,i am sure that won't be an issue.

What should i do
Thid when i skip the android setup wizard
This at start up android setup wizard
Any help here?
odd question but... where did you get the phone? can you root it? unlock the boot-loader? it is locked to whatever that company it via their MDM policy.
https://www.linkedin.com/company/groupama-protection-juridique/
if you can unlock the bootloader i assume you could restore via fastboot and that would unlock it. then again, it may brick you phone.
or thy this
On the managed mobile device, go to Settings.
Navigate to Security.
Select Device Administrator and disable it.
Under Settings, go to Applications.
Select ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus and Uninstall the ME MDM App.

How to bypass FRP Locked after factory reset

I recently purchased a used A20 (SM-S205DL) the previous owner's child locked the device and forgot the pin. I was told it didnt have FRP activated so i mistakenly hard reset it without checking odin mode first. Now i have no way to set up the device or enable usb debugging. I have firmware and some basic knowledge of flashing via odin. Although i have only used it to unbrick a device roughly 5 years ago. How can i either remove FRP via odin mode or download mode without usb debugging turned on. I have no preference on how to gain access to the device. If frp cannot be removed could the device be completely wiped and made into a basic Linux device? I have no preference on what is done i only want to have some use out of it
Factory Reset Protection exists to prevent the use of stolen devices. Unfortunately, this can become rather inconvenient in other circumstances where for some reason the Google account the device was locked on isn't available.
While FRP unlock services exist, we here on XDA tend to err on the side of caution due to the potential for criminal activity.
Try flashing vbmeta.img (UNLOCK BOOTLOADER)
Try this:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.

MDM Locked Galaxy Tab A

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2020, SN-T307U) that I got from work. It's an old Doordash tablet that Doordash didn't want back, so I'm trying to reset it and it's driving me crazy. I have followed so many tutorials trying to get this thing to work, I keep getting caught on something.
- Simply factory resetting does not work, gives an error that MDM does not allow it.
- I cannot put in the wrong password 15 times to factory reset, even though I get a warning it just lets me continue trying after 15 fails.
- I cannot enter the bootloader, rebooting to bootloader just reboots to the OS.
- I cannot enter safemode, same as above.
- I cannot enable developer options, so no OEM unlock or USB debugging. Tapping build number gives me an error that the MDM does not allow this option.
The device is recognized by Odin, can I just brick this thing and repartition from scratch? Can someone who knows what they're talking about walk me through that? I'm not really sure what I'm doing here, learning as I go over these last 2 days.
Hello,
I have the same exact same issue, have you been able to unlock it?
Thank you!
I can fix it remotely the last hope
Same Issue here,
Any one had any luck with MDM T307U. Please assist.

If you look at all of the previous post, it should tell you that no one has found a way to disable an MDM lock. Which is as it should be. Otherwise the lock would be useless.

That's not true as of today's date. (In the event this post is viewed after this exploit can be successful).
I am not taking credit and perhaps the op has discovered it. Anyway...
I am in Canada and noticed the carriers here stop at BL 8 while the USA has BL 9.
The unit i had was on BL 9 (csc TMB).
This probably works for Canadians on BL 8. I don't recommend flashing to BL 9 as that may affect your service or experience.
ANYWAY! This guide won't explain any prerequisites. They are adb, installing unsigned drivers, and you aren't able to use the device and are the owner
1) if not already, power off device with vol down+power and ensure battery is at least 50%.
2) enter recovery and factory reset. If you're having difficulty entering recovery, plug into your pc and as soon as you hear the audible disconnect, switch to vol up+power. Or jam on all three buttons for dl mode.
If in dl mode you can check firmware version and just flash it with bl, ap, cp and csc (NOT home csc). Use exact current version. Don't worry about userdata if it is USA
3) at welcome, connect wifi and imnediately go back to first screen. Don't use data sim
4) dl samfw app and on misc tab, check driver status and your pc will reboot.
*you must not have secure boot enabled
5) plug phone into pc. In the app, mtp and select youtube. If done right, click the pop up on your phone and navigate to chrome. Should be automatic.
6) search for vnrom frp. Once there download package disabler pro and notification app. They are side by side. Install notification app and set it up so you can swipe quick settings from top of screen.
5) unplug your phone from pc and plug it back in. Should be able to get back to the package app various ways to install it. Before install, turn wifi off. Now run package disabler and when it prompts for device admin, turn wifi on. It'll glitch a bit but should start.
6) locate samsung setup wizard. Don't confuse with the other. It'll have a green icon. Disable it and clear the storage. At bottom left, tap the back arrow and you should be back at final setup.
7) when asked to add samsung account, turn off wifi. Complete setup and don't add any accounts.
8) you should arrive at home screen. Your phone is re-plugged right? Good. Now turn on usb debugging and use the remove knox from the app. Done.
*i think i turned wifi on just before enabling debugging. I forget.
*if you are sloppy... you'll need to start over. You'll see, or already know
*you can do ota (if there still is any) but factory resetting or odin flashing will put you back to managed.

This method works up to step 7 for me. I can't seem to enable usb debugging before knox kicks in. With or without wifi. I'm experimenting to see if I can get past that step.
How to Remove MDM Control from Android?​For anyone suffering from this issue, the following are the steps to bypass Samsung Knox factory reset protection:
First of all, create a password for the device.
Make sure that your device is charged to an 80% or greater charge.
Next, you’ll need to go to Settings and Security Encrypt Device tabs respectively.
Set a PIN/password for your device.
After you have secured your device and it’s gone through. Reboot the device, and when it boots, it will ask you to enter a password in order to access your device to view encrypted data. If you type the wrong password 15-20 times (it depends on your device), it’ll wipe your device of any information and will restart and then appear like you’re registering as a brand new device after a factory reset.

Samsung Galaxy A20e - Locked on FRP

Hey!
In the company that I work an ex-collaborator left the Samsung Galaxy A20e he was using professionally. During the time he used it, he probably activated FRP, now we want to unlock the phone to give to another collaborator. I've tried to do factory reset at first when I didn't know about FRP.
Now I'm seeing some tutorials that says that we can remove the FRP lock, but I need USB debugging and I can't access the system to activate it.
Is there something I can do?
Same problem as here:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.
