Okay I registered my note with Samsung and tried out the Samsung dive app, I tried the ring phone, track phone and so on, but after trying out the unlock screen feature, now everyone I check for software updates on my note, I get no updates available very quickly followed by a statusbar notification telling me my screen lock has been reset to default by Samsung dive. I have tried logging out of my Samsung account, I have even deleted the Samsung account app from my phone, I have unticked the remote feature in settings, but it still does the same thing when I check for updates, as I have the unlocked international version so therefore waiting for ics to be made available for my note.
Anyone else tried Samsung dive and having the same issues, or am I missing something to turn this off.
It is now becoming very annoying constantly doing this, but it does only seem to do this when checking for updates.
I don't want to do a factory reset as I don't know if that will even cure this, and then still have this notification but having to start over again setting up my phone when I have it just how I want it.
Any advice is most welcome.
Same issue here, I agree, It is annoying! Any help would be appreciated.
I installed AVG Antivirus Pro, which Samsung was giving away for free for a limited time in my country.
Works great.
Back on subject. Have you tried resetting the app via Applications in Settings? Might fix your issue. If not a factory rest will probably do it!
I'm having the exact same issue here. Does anyone have a solution to this?
I hopefully seemed to have solved the issue. I had the exact same issue. I logged onto the samsung dive website and chose the option to 'Lock My Mobile' and entered a pin. Now on the phone I unlocked my phone with the PIN previously set on the samsung dive website. After this the problem seems to have disappeared.
Hope this works for you all

Hi Meethere
what part of my instructions do you not understand?
worked great
thanks
I had the exact same issue. Just go to Settings>applications> and select software update and clear its data and reboot. It should be fine now.

I can't believe it. I even called Samsung Customer Services regarding the issue and their response was that my mobile isn't compatible with my country (Canada). I did what you advised and I'm tracking my phone now on Samsung Dive!! Who thought it could be such a simple solution. THANK YOU!

I can't find the Samsung dive application... Any one knows where to get it? Or a link perhaps?

Samsung Dive is a website. In the event you lose your phone you are able to track it. Just login to you samsung account on your phone under setting>accounts and after that you can go online to track your phone.

Hi,
Thank you very much for posting your finding. It also fixed it for me. :good:

Was the file you needed on the thing you plugged in? Is that why you plugged it in or was that an unnecessary step?
Not sure this goes along with the rules on XDA and security in general. There is a reason you no longer have access to a device. We can't and should not take the risk and guess what that reason might be. At all times we should assume an unauthorized access attempt. Especially in this case. Reported (under reserve).
A genious o.o
would have been helpful when i got my new phone, cleaned google account, changed pw, factory reset phone. 72 hour lock!
but.... yeah. much more helpful for phone theft than regular users.

First, thanks to vn_mobile for sharing.
Second, here's a quicker way
Install Quick Shortcut by OTG as per the OP
Then search for "reset"
Select Settings, MasterClearActivity, Try
Reset Phone
Done!!
Great, I now can make a list of XDA members I know are morons. Let's hope they also have social media info in their profiles.

Maybe because this Exploit has been fixed and Google won`t let you bypass the FRP like that forever. It never worked on ALL devices.
this just happened to me on my htc m9. i changed my password sunday. reset my device and im like WTF? im done with google, this feature should be duely noted to consumers and in the literature. im taking my paperweight m9 back to tmobile and getting an iphone. i don't mind security but this is too much.

Generic solution to frp is to access browser no matter which one. Except for samsung phones and not all of them but a few. Accessing browser you need to download two apps. One is quickshortcutmaker and second is to download old google manager for log in but it need to be web log in. There is ton of videos out there. The reason you want web log in is so you can add additional account to that device. The rest is history.

I know about this one. Some Samsung phones have issues with this when u change password. It takes forever. U need to access share button in beginning of verification. Share button either name share or 3 dots or 2 dots connected. Try every single app choice u get. Apps itself is not the reason but web browser is. There are some apps which lets you share further. And there you will find browser icon. Try weshare!!!!!!
I never tried this on Axon 7 but i assume its similar to Lenovo A series with their own copy whole phone type of app. It lets you enter browser in that app. I assume that weshare is behaving in same matter.
The order is like this
You have google log in screen. Either you try there on log in or you try while accessing wifi. There is always some hyperlinks there like help, feedback, policy, security etc etc. When ever there is hyperlink then there is couple of options. Then you need to access copy paste by holding marked letters to access share or open in browser etc etc. From there is easy if you can access web browser. Follow youtube for rest.
The only time screw up messes "everything" and there is "nothing " you can do then wait is when you delete iphone from your own icloud so you dont have icloud on actuall device and then want to change password on pc while two step verification is active. That is a nightmare. It cant take up to a month before apple makes it done.

I typically used their voice unlock to get in the settings or using the keyboard on the setup to get in settings, went to backup and account, pressed factory reset and it didn't work. I waited 48 hrs, then it let me sign in.

Hey don't know if you have seen this but I would try to use this app. I haven't had to FRP unlock a Axon7, but I have had a bit of experience in taking FRP off of phones along with many other fixes. If you can get to chrome or whatever browser and download and install this then it should work. I have used this on a ZTE ZMax Pro, so I would imagine it would work here unless they patched it. Anyway, good luck and let me know if you need more help.

Hmm... Well as I have not needed to FRP reset my Axon I can't really tell you exactly what to do. All I know is that method works on some and not others. Really what you are trying to do, especially if you can use the web login like someone else mentioned, is add a Google account that you remember how to login too. Then when you factory reset you should be good. If that doesn't work I say either try to reset the password or whatever Google account is on there, or maybe EDL mode programs which I haven't done much with. I'll keep looking for another way.
Edit: btw the web login you can try to use would be with the com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk 1.17MB on the same site I last linked. That along with maybe one of the other Google account managers that are listed there. Good luck!
I received an OTA today. Like 377 MB.

Yes it is new bootloader. I expect this for around 2 weeks now. Seems like it is little harder to flash anything on this bootloader.

Yeah I'm installing it now myself.
Updated mine but facial recognition is now not working. Under settings, I see under Screen Lock Type I still have password, Face and Fingerprints as an option but "Face Recognition" is now grayed out. If I go into the Screen Lock Type setting, Face shows the switch to the right but that option is grayed out as well and can't be changed.

What's changing: Network performance enhancements, stability improvements, other various updates and fixes, and Android device security updates, including KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability fix and BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)
I'd say that the KRACK fix itself is a good reason to update.

apparently all that does is clear your saved certificates. I have been able to disable face scan by turning on iris but that doesn't work so well with my glasses. Face recognition is my preference but I can't seem to get it to enable after update.

Shoot! I couldn't wait around anymore without my phone not working and did a factory reset through recovery....

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.

I lost it too. Exactly the same as you.
Pinch the screen out to expand screen to fit screen that's how u do it now
I have been updated to android ten and now the lock screen will revert back to the lock screen every time you put in the pin even if its correct. I seen the pixel is having the problem also. Ive tried to change to a password instead of the in and it wont let me change it because it asks for the pin to change it and does the same thing and if you twice it crashes settings app. I went to turn oem unlock bootloader in case it turned off and couldn't get back in and it wont even let me turn oem unlock on because it ask for a pin and then does the same thing then setting app crashes. Is anyone experiencing this and what is the work around?
Not a real solution, but it appears you can add a new user and still use the phone while you wait for a real fix from Google/Essential.

So I had been on Android 10 since it came out everything worked fine until yesterday was trying to put in my pin, and it would do what I explained. I didn't think anything of it until I seen the article about the pixel and then I knew it was the same bug. This almost has to be a server side change because my phone was fine until yesterday. I tried everything I could find to fix it and it will not let you change the user on essential. Ultimately I did reset in recovery because the phone isn't functional after this bug hits.

You can get into the settings with that method but it wont let you do anything from the setting that would be useful. I seen where on pixel you can change users and use the phone but this option wouldnt work on the essential for me.
You can try deleting /lockscreen.db in data/system/lockscreen.db
That will delete your current lock screen password but won't touch anything else. Just go in twrp and mount system and go to advanced/file manager and navigate to said file and swipe to delete.
Probably not very much help but just an idea...
