Phone locked out,

Hi there,
Friend of mine using Lenovo A6000+, Doesn't have google account in that phone. It was secured with the pattern lock. But unfortunately he forgot the unlock pattern. Since he have a lot of contacts in that phone, there is no way to reset it. Its full stock version. Just a basic user., so no root access or anything. In this scenario any other way to unlock the phone without doing a factory reset? The google answers are helpful only if the usb debugging is enabled. Since it is not rooted and basically a very common user used that phone, i don't think usb debugging is enabled. Any help appreciated.
By the way, i'm also thinking of flashing a custom recovery into the phone. Will that be of any help? Would it cause the phone to lose data? Will that need usb debugging enabled to do it?

I dont think, there's anything you can do about it. Ask him first, if he had ever connected to pc and authorized it for usb debugging. Otherwise, the only option left is to factory reset.
Edit: Brother, I'm working on something to change the pattern, which obviously I'll tell you. I'll make a flashable zip which you can flash through twrp. Lets see how this goes.
I'm not sure, if I'll be able to do it. But if it does, it would be very helpful for everyone.
:silly:
Edit 2: Finally I got it working!!! hurray!!
Just flash this zip below and the next time your phone boots, you can enter any "more than 3-dot" pattern and the phone will accept. Later, you can set new pattern or anything.
:angel: :silly:
P.S. I used CWM recovery on stock KK to flash it. Don't know why but I couldn't manage to flash twrp. Who cares anyway, if our job gets done. :silly:

Samsung Galaxy SM-J120W Google Account FRP Bypass Removal HELP!!

Hello
Having a real tough time with this one.
Issue: Samsung Galaxy SM-J120W - Stuck in FRP. Can not sign into a google account. Phone is not rooted.
Does anyone have a walk-through solution for this specific device?
Any assistance is much appreciated
Thank You

Samsung J120W FRP fix
I had the same issue. I fixed with odin and a download of the phones stock firm ware. I put the firmware .tar in the CSC section in Odin

i'm having issues with bypassing... does the odin method still work? could swear i tried it... what version rom should i download?

I'm dealing with the same scenario. I've researched a bit and found many instructions impossible to execute.
Plenty of the methods that are supposed to work seem contorted and overly complicated.
I'm scratching my head, wondering why it isn't a straightforward process involving flashing from download mode.
It's just gotta be that simple. As it is the unit I'm dealing with won't recognize from adb, so I'm limited.
IMO the info pointing to a solution is somewhere in a sea of malware and ad-laden apps and sites, now that having a custom ROM is more commonplace with the non-programmer end-user.

You can use Miracle Box. It can bypass FRP but if you want use this program, you must have a Miracle Box dongle.

yes odin method does still work but dont forget you need to do each step in the correct order and if it doesn't work and you try again you must CLOSE odin, unplug the phone then re-start odin and do the steps again

as for what version you need to download that would depend on your carrier - that said - i downloaded and flashed the one for rogers canada and it worked even though im with chatr so the carrier may not matter so much? here are a couple of the canadian versions you can look for
Canada rogers - J120WVLU1APC8 - RWC
Canada Sasktel - J120WVLU1APC8 - BWA
Canada Telus - J120WVLU1APC8 - TLS

help
i have this same problem if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it i have a samsung j120w with chatr so i believe its the telus firmware i need
found a couple threads and thanks to this site i am confident i will be able to unlock this device using odin or twrp or a combination of the two im not sure i will follow the instructions and repost here i see the key to skipping the frp is On your phone, Open Settings > Developer options > Enable OEM unlock and Enable USB debugging.
hopefully this will go smooth thanks to all of you
i cannot access the phones menus as it is stuck at the 'enter your previous email screen'
cannot access the phones internal memory so i cannot put twrp on there. in recovery mode it wont access the sd card i tried placing it there as well. sending it with adb gets a blocked custom binary by frp lock error.
any help would be appreciated i spent 7 hours on this last night and got nowhere

I think the easiest way is to enable Settings >Developer Options > Enable the option OEM Unlock. This will allow the device to be OEM unlocked.
How to enable Developer Options:
Got to Settings > About Device > Software Info > and tap on Build Number 5 times, it unlocks the Developers options..

i am stuck at the google frp lock i cannot get into the phone any other suggestions?

Can we resurrect this coffin or should I start another thread?
I need to bypass FRP. Not familiar with android whatsoever but was able to fumble through ODIN flashes unsuccessfully. (Got PASS but FRP is still there).

Sm-T580 FRP lock and custom binary blocked by frp. Cant flash twrp recovery.

So im trying to install twrp recovery but when i try to flash it thru odin, i get a Custom Binary (RECOVERY) blocked by FRP lock. I cant factory reset because it also disabled by FRP. I cant verify the tablet because i dont know the account information as the tablet was bought through craigslist. I have tried flashing a stock firmware version and that installed fine, but i still couldnt get past the verify screen. So thats when i decided to try and flash twrp but came into the binary error. I have been trying for the past two days to find a way around the verify identity and the frp lock. I cant enable oem unlock. I have tried rootjunky method but OTG flash wont pull up the file manager when plugged into the tablet. I cant use adb because i cant enable the developer settings because you guessed it i cant get past verify identity screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to find the Combination Firmware.

I already tried that method but didn't work. It's on android 7.0. I tried downgrading to sm-t580.. XAR firmware 6.1 and it worked but when it boots it goes straight to a black screen asking for a password. I tried the frp call method as well but it doesnt have wifi calling.

It only works with certain versions of 6. The one ending is PL4 is the one you want. The trick is in adding the fake wifi network instead of connecting to your home network. Pay close attention to the beginning of the video.

Okay thank you. I will try that again when I get home. And this works on version 7.0? The device is currently on 7.0 but when I tried the pl4 md5 it flashes it but when I boot up the device it just goes to a black screen and asks for a password. It doesn't start at the setup wizard

You have to use Odin to install PL4. You can't flash it via TWRP. Also, make sure you wipe everything first.

I know. I can't install twrp like I said. I've been using Odin to flash everything. But when I flashed the pl4 file and tablet goes to reboot. It doesn't load the setup wizard. Doesn't show the welcome screen and pick a language. It goes straight to a black screen and asks for a password. Doesn't ask for an email or anything.

Yea but when I try to factory wipe it says mdm doesn't allow factory reset and reboots and takes me back to that same black screen. I can only wipe cache partition. I will post a picture of the screen when I get home.

Tried this as well. I did it about 20 times before giving up. I might try it again and do it about 30 to 50 times. If I was just able to get to settings I'd be straight but I can't get to the settings so that's why I'm trying to reset it as a completely new device. Do you know if I could flash the 7 inch tab A firmware onto the smt580? Or flash the smt585 firmware onto the t580 and flash the BL AP and CSC?

From what I've read, Airwatch MDM lock can't be removed by flashing ANYTHING. It is third party anti-theft protection that has nothing to do with what ROM is installed. I know I ran into their stuff a few years ago with a used laptop I bought and only Airwatch was able to solve the problem after contacting their customer and verifying the laptop wasn't stolen.

I did end up finding this. Seems the device is completely locked with no way to get around. When i flashed the device i may have deleted the admin privilages so there is no way of gettting around it as of now. I might end up paying someone to fix it or get around it or i wasted 180$ on a locked device. The guy i bought it from either blocked my number or deactivated his number as i cant get in contact with him. Pretty pissed. Thanks for all the help tho

I had the black screen password happen to me when I downgraded my SM-P580 from Android 7 to 6. Try clearing the cache. If that doesn't work, try reflashing, then turn it off and reboot to recovery and clear the cache.

Do you think if i changed the CSC to a different region on the tablet, and put a unlocked bootloader on it, would it might get rid of the frp lock? Do you happen to have a smt580? If so do you think there is anyother way of getting around this? say if i flashed like your firmware on to my tablet? Im desperate to get this thing unlocked as i would be out 180$ :crying:. Thanks for all your help so far. I really appreciate it man. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.

Or what if i downgrade it to 6.1 and then downgrade it again to a even farther back version? Do you think this might work and gett me around the black screen? If so then i would be able to bypass the google verify account. Ima go ahead and try it unless its a risk of bricking the tablet completely.

I also read somewhere that if i flash the cp part on odin that it will erase all data. Think that might be worth a shot? But what do i need to insert in the cp slott? I know BL goes to BL and AP to AP and CSC home goes in CSC. So what goes in the cp slot?
EDIT: So instead of putting csc home in the csc slot i put the other csc file in its place. I checked the re partition box. When i did this i got a new message on the tablet in the top left of tthe download mode that says FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download. Any idea what this means?

How to recover Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) without factory reset?

Hello, I need to access Galaxy Tab SM-P585 which belonged to a friend who has passed away, so pattern, pin and Google account info are unknown. Also firmware is original from Samsung, developer mode is disabled and OEM locked. The only options available are recovery mode, where I can do a factory reset or enter sideload mode, and download mode. I have found this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49666433 to bypass pattern but custom recovery is needed to use either Pattern Password Disable or Aroma File Manager methods. Then I have tried to install TWRP via this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-official-twrp-galaxy-tab-10-1-t3473023 via Odin however device returns error "Blocked by FRP Lock" which from my search is either Google or Samsung https://www.samsung.com/us/support/frp/ Is there a way to access this device without factory reset?

Try and reflash it using Odin with a stock firmware, that might work. Get your firmware from Sam Mobile firmwares. Just make sure you get the exact corresponding firmware...
Let me know how you go...

Thanks, I've looked up for SM-P585 model but found only firmwares for ME and Africa. Tried with South African version but got SECURE CHECK FAILED (BOOTLOADER) error, which I believe is because it is not exactly the same version. From the recovery menu I've found out that I need 7.0/NRD90M/T585XXU2BRB2 version (multi region) so now downloading from samsunggalaxyrom and getdroidtips. I'll see how it goes with either one...
P.S. From the instructions "Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data." so I'll use HOME_CSC_ file to keep apps and the data.

If you use CSC it will wipe the device along with any security measures set up and basically put the device back to factory setup.

Unfortunately HOME_CSC didn't work, security settings were still there, so I have applied CSC. However now FRP requires me to logon using original Google account, even after factory reset, so this functionally means that device is only for a dumpster?

HELP!!! SM-P585Y FRP with Oreo

[SOLVED]
I apologize for my stupidity...
On a recent trip to China I recklessly purchased the used TAB A 10.1 model SM-P585Y.
The tablet worked perfectly, but when I came home I did a reset to clean it and once restarted the system remains with the FRP Lock.
The operating system is Oreo and I can't load any more twrp.
If I downgrade to Marshmallow, it doesn't reboot but only enters Factory Recovery mode...
In this mode, if I enable the Developer Option and then usb Debugging in the settings, there is no trace of the OEM unlock.
I can't load TWRP with odin nor with ADB (but maybe I don't do the correct procedure...)
If I do the update again at Oreo there is no recovery...
This is because when I flash Oreo with Chimera, the image file in the firmware is greater than the PIT, so I have to skip otherwise it stops.
When I start the system only arrives at the google account screen but I can't go any further, not even by opening a sort of chrome browser reduced by touching the google sign from one of the info screens that I can access from the keyboard settings.
Can someone please help me?

Any chance of turning off FRP through the Google account of whoever's account was on the tablet once you had it? I thought you could disable that by logging into Google with that account and turning it off via the web.
Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, others probably know much better.
Good luck!
