Please help me, Ive just locked my phone with the official Google Device Manager. I'm trying to put the right password (Im sure, I changed the password for "1111" and phone recognized it was the PIN) but it gives me "wrong password" anyway.
I have stock Android unrooted, no debug enabled.
ADB commands give me just "error: closed"
"
adb shell
su
rm /data/system/cm_gesture.key
reboot
"
how to unlock the device, I really do not want to wipe the device!!
please help me
will CWM recovery help me ASAP?
please
thank you!!
I cannot believe no one knows what to do here
will this help:
install CWM recovery and what's next?
so the BUG is "made by Samsung". Samsung just do not accept any correct PIN or password (maybe because of "wrong" keyboard).
could anyone tell me how to remove the lock without wipe?
thx
edit:
solution 1) just if you have debugging mode on then follow this solution
http://maxoberberger.net/blog/2013/08/unlock-android-device-using-adb/
solution 2) just if you can change your keyboard for another (if you are allowed when entering password)
solution 3) just if you have Samsung account, log into Samsung Dive >> "unlock" (my case)
solution 4) no debuging mode + no keyboard solution + no samsung account? >> just and only wipe through recovery or Google Device Manager
Happy now, but I was lucky

Is this a confirmed solution or a theoretical solution based on your feelings?

I'm stuck in this boat right now and I've been hammering at workarounds for the last week. But it seems every workaround is made exponentially harder because I do not have a rooted phone / I do not have USB Debugging already on / I do not want to just delete/reformat / I do not have a Samsung account activated. If this external keyboard solution is a confirmed solution - then I might just go buy one of these Samsung dongles to connect a keyboard to give it a shot ...
Thanks
Solution 2 did not work for me.
I was able to plug in a physical keyboard and type in my Android Device Manager password that I gave it on the web interface and it did not work. I even ran through the process using the same exact keyboard on both the web interface, then disconnecting it from my computer, connecting it to my phone, and typing. Still no good.
I am unfortunately at the point of Solution 4.
Maybe i can help you

Same problem (PIN). This is so infuriating! What were the #%$#% programmers thinking?
Lock my phone is not equal to factory reset!!!
Google should be sued. There's gotta be enough ppl negatively impacted to do a class action suit. Force google to address the issue!
@jr342: What issue? The issue in this thread was apparently a Samsung snafu, back in 2014! If however you're referring to Google's Factory Reset Protection, Google will never address the issue as Factory Reset Protection is working as intended. Any lawsuit brought on the topic is likely to fail, as Google has no obligation to - and I believe can't - unlock a device where FRP has been activated.

Bypass(Reset) Lock screen Pattern/Password/PIN/Fingerprint scanning without wipe
We know it's a big pain when you forget PIN/Passowrd/Pattern and you simply can't afford to wipe device as you don't have backup.
Then What?
You were all the night busy with your new beast and when you wake up in morning and notice that your GF/BF took revenge by registering and locking device by his/her fingerprint
Then what?
Very simple. Flash attached file from recovery.

thanks it work on my N4 android 4.4.4 N910C
I downloaded this and haven't been able to figure out how to install it.
Does the phone have to be rooted or anything special?
Guess i shouldn't have angered the ex before the break up. oops.
Saved my life...
I had completely lost all the hopes after bad luck with other various ways to bypass the lock screen(Pin Lock). To be honest I didn't expect this to work either. But I was completely taken by surprise. Thanks a ton for this mod. Worked like a charm with my note 2 n7100 with DN4 installed on it.
Thanks, really useful!
By pass lock screen on note 4
Dr. You said to flash the file you created and it would work. I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I'd rather have the answer then appear like an idiot. Here goes......
I have kies and Odin I cannot figure out how to flash your file using either one of those tools. You mentioned "flashing from recovery" if that's the case how does one do that.
I am able to get Odin to see my phone but it won't do anything with your file
Please Advise I'm miserably frustrated and can't hard reset at the cost of loosing very important files.
Thank you

Recovery menu of your phone. To access recovery. Switch of your phone. Press and hold. Volume up button + home button + power on. After a few seconds release power button but keep balding volume up + home. You'll get into recovery.

Thank you very much!
That is probably the right answer the problem is it didn't work on my note 4. When I got into recovery mode I selected the "SDcard option" and directed it to the folder I downloaded from the good Dr. The folder didn't have anything it was looking for and simply said so.
So I tried going deeper into the folder trying to find anything it would respond to but came up empty. So I tried downloading and installing the ADB app with SDK files and drivers the whole works. By the time I got it all set up apparently the phone has to have debugging turned off before ADB can communicate with my phone. Which of course my phone cannot be accessed because master password is required which I don't have.
I have the PW but it won't accept it. I think It was caused by a conflict with an app I downloaded. Any help or ideas short of doing a complete factory reset, I would really appreciate it. It's evident that starting over May be my only choice. I just can't lose all my information.........I was 24 hrs from backup to.
Warm regards
Doug

Also. If you have left WiFi on it will automatically connect to known WiFi nets. Or insert a simple card w/o pin. If you know the password then either go to find my Samsung or Google remote find phone both need Internet and use one of tho the to change your password and unlock remotely your phone. That is your best chance.
Awesome That Worked...!
Marioscaptor
I can't thank you enough I was able to reset using the Google device manager as you suggested. It never accured to me that was even available on a phone that was locked. Resetting remotely is a great feature.
I appreciate your patience and your willingness to help me work through the issues. I learned a lot.
Thanks again!

1. install custom recovery (CWM) via odin.
2. load this zip file onto a micro sd card ( you cant access the phones storage to load it onto the phone).
3 restart phone in custom recovery
4. select install zip from memory card then restart phone and enjoy.
S5 Mini G800F rooted CF Android 4.4.2
Once Dr. Ketan's script flashed from recovery will bypass the Lockscreen Security (fingerprintpassword, password, locksetings, personal key, gesture key) the associated security information is gone.
I wonder how the following scenario will work out:
1. What if BEFORE running Dr. Ketan's script the files related to Lockscreen Security are copied to e.g. external SD card - or internal storage - by another script from recovery?
2. Then run Dr. Ketan's script flashed from recovery to bypass the Lockscreen utility.
3. Then access telephone and reboot.
4. Then run another script from recovery to copy back the files of step 1 related to Lockscreen Security to their respective original locations.
QUESTION: Will now the original Lockscreen Security information be active again on the telephone?
So the original fingerprint and other settings of the Lockscreen utility from step 1 are active again on the telephone?
Edit: In the discussion area Dr. Ketan and Mussels84 discuss the use of Nandroid for backing up purposes with problems encountered. I read on forums that Nandroid usage may result in wrong access rights assigned to files involved in Nandroid operations due to oversight of users. Dr. Ketan's script is actually a set of commands. The copy (backup step 1) and copy (restore step 4) actions of my assumption above should be done in the same way as Dr. Ketan's script: with a set of commands and not Nandroid to avoid potential issues. Is ti too easy to think that just a slight adoption to Dr. Ketan's original scrip could do the job?

1. Dr. Ketan explains the root non root issue in his thread.
2. I am not sure if a custom recovery will trick the KNOX. I am jsut a junior expert and an afriad to mention wrong information. But to my best (may be wrong/limited knowledge), a custom recovery will not trick the KNOX. But please look for re-affirment from a more expereinced XDA memeber.
Galaxy note 4 lock screen problem
My galaxy note 4 has fingerprint lock screen. and yesterday it didn't recognize my fingerprint. maybe because my fingers are wrinkly that time. My data network is disabled. that is why I try to unlock it using backup password but i forgot my password. I tried many times. and then It only ask me to enter password no other option like fingerprint or log in via google mail. It's too late for me to realize that I can enable my data network even if its locked. Now my problem is I don't really remember my password and I tried so many times. and weird thing is that it says unable to verify your fingerprint 6 times. try again in 30 seconds. which It didn't scan my fingerprint it only ask to enter a password. I restart it a lot of times but nothings happen. Bypass screen lock app from google play is not compatible with note 4. I also tried to change lock on android device manager but it wont let me it said phone is already locked so It doesn't need to be changed.
I don't want to factory reset my phone. I need my files. please help. and It is possible to recover my files after factory reset??
btw. i also did the flashing thing. but I don't know if i did it right. nothings happen. please help me how. what i did was I power off my phone the I press power buton + volume up + home button and It brings me to an options and I choose apply update using external storage. I download the attached file by dr. and put it on my sd card. then I click the zip file there's too error occured then at the end it says complete then the phone restart and nothings happen.
I am looking to remove the Google account from a Samsung Galaxy On5 MetroPCS SM-G550T1. The phone has Marshmallow 6.0.1 . The FRP is on download mode. I already tried modem flash but the phone is still asking for the account. I also tried a couple bypass methods but the security patch does not allow any internet access. Any ideas guys?
If you bricked your On5 phone, Try reflashing on of your corresponding full firmware:

SOLVED:
Update, Hey guys, I found the solution for this problem. Here is the step by step proccess:
01. You need to download the "RealTerm" program and install it in your computer (Thanks Root Junky for the links) : http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps/FRP.
02. Go to phone. You need to have a SIM in your phone for this process to work for the ORIGINAL CARRIER of the phone.
03. Go to your setup screen and connect to WIFI.
05. Using a USB cable, connect your phone to your computer. Make sure that your computer is reconizing your phone by instaling the last Samsung drivers available (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads)
06. Once the phone is reconized by the computer and USB connected, we need to find out in what USB port your phone is connected to. To do that, you need to go you "Device Manager" in your computer. Click on "Modems". Then click on "SAMSUNG Mobile USB". On that screen, open the "Modem Tab". The first thing that you will find is: "PORT: COM09" (COM09 is in example, your phone could be connected to another port like COM41, COM39, and so on).
07. Now that we know our USB port number, open your RealTerm program. In the Realterm "Display" tab, make sure to check the "HALF DUPLEX" box.
08. Then, click on the "PORT" tab. Now, here we are going to enter the port number that our phone is without the COM in the Port box (For Example, COM43 = 43). The click on the "OPEN" button next to it.
09. Go to the "SEND" tab. In the first box, type the following command: at+creg?\r\n and click on "SEND NUMBERS"
10. Then, in the same box, type: atd1234;\r\n and also click "SEND NUMBERS". At this step, you need to look at the phone screen because the dealer is going to try to dial "1234". If not, keep sending the atd1234;\r\n commands.
11. When the dialer shows up, end the call and immediately click on the "MESSAGE" button. The phone is going to go to SMS to send a message to the "1234" number that the phone tried to dial. Send this 1234 number "YOUTUBE.COM" message. Send it. After the message is sent to this number, the words "Youtube.com" would became a blue internet link, click on it. The browser is going to go to Youtube. After you are in YouTube, click on the 3 dots at the upper right hand side of the screen. Click on "Settings", then click "About", then "GOOGLE Privacy Policy". the phone will ask you to choose an internet browser. Use the "Internet Browser"
12. When you are in the browser, again go to " http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps/FRP " (Thanks Root Junky for the Links) and download "com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk".
13. Then, go on Google.com and search for "Samsung App Store" : http://www.samsung.com/levant/apps/mobile/galaxyapps/ . Click on the "App Store" button. The Samsung is going to open and ask you to sign in. You would have to either create an account or use your existing Samsung account. Do not worry, you would get to remove it later.
14. Once you are at the Samsung account, search for "ES FILE Explorer" and install it in your phone. Once, it is installed, open the app. The app will allow you to go to the "Download" folder of your phone. There you will find the "com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk" that you previously downloaded. Open and Install the "com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk". The App will send you to the "Google Sign In" windows. DO NOT SING IN. Click on the three dots at the upper right hand side of the screen and click on "BROWSER SIGN IN". Then a new Google browser sign in screen will appear. Yes, you can Sign in there with your existing Google account (Again, do not worry, you can remove it later). Once you are signed in, you need to restart your phone.
15. Follow the setup instructions. The phone is not going to ask you for the Google account because you already entered.
16. Once at the home screen, click on 'Settings". Then go to "Accounts” and click on the "Samsung Account", click on "Remove Account". The phone is going to ask you for a confirmation to enter your password. Enter it and click on Remove. Go back and click on your "Google Account". Click on "Remove Account".
17. Go back to settings, and then click on "BACKUP AND RESET". Then click on "FACTORY DATA RESET". Then "RESET DEVICE". The phone will factory reset and the FRP will be removed.

After facing the same problem for better than a week and even purchasing a replacement phone I have bypassed the FRP/Custom Binary Lock for the sm-g550t1.
1.) Start by using Odin 3.10.7
2.) After install, along with Samsung drivers, and the like, Fire Odin up and go ahead and place your phone into Download Mode (Vol up + home button + power) but wait to insert your USB until we've got Odin ready to rock.
3.) First we'll be going to the options tab and checking the box labeled "Nand Erase All". YES THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO TAKE THE PHONE BACK TO STOCK. Beats the hell out of having a paperweight just lying around though doesn't it...
4.) Without checking any boxes on main console, Apply each one of the files listed into their designated slot. (ex.. AP=ap BL=bl... just try not to be a boob is all..)
5.) Download and unzip the attached package to whatever location you can remember.
6.) One at a time, click the appropriate buttons to insert the file (MAKE SURE NONE OF THE WHITE CHECK BOXES ARE HIGHLIGHTED OR YOU'LL SCREW YOURSELF UP AND HAVE TO START OVER)
7.) Once all appropriate files are in correct locations, and the correct options are set; Highlight/Check ALL white boxes, it'll take a second for the md5's to clear.
8.) If you think you're set go ahead and hit the start button. This process takes between 2-8 mins depending on variables involved beyond my control.
9.) After all files have been transferred the On5 will reboot automatically. It will require you login to whatever Google account you had on there to begin with.
There are several, well documented, methods for bypassing that portion of the lock so I'll leave you to it...

extrememachinist said:
so Im at a loss here. I have personally removed the "custom bianary lock FRP" from several of the metropcs version sm-g550t1's without any issues.
just to confirm:
all settings in odin are set to factory, (reboot enabled, and f time) and you've selected the nanderase option?
afterwards, you unzipped, the package, which should have displayed somthing like 4 or 5 files. which then were inserted into corresponding slots on odin?
did you flash over twrp at any time?

The FRP is still on. I can still go to the Google account set up page on the phone. I thought that I could remove the Google account by using these files. But I now understand that these files are only usefull if the phone is "custom bianary lock FRP".
Turn oem unlock on. That will do it.

confusion about FRP locks..
On a previous post I mentioned steps required to unlock FRP from the g550t1. There has been some confusion as to the results.
My phone, when FRP was engaged, wouldn't even boot. I'd get maybe 2.5sec before complete shutdown.(no recovery, no loading what so ever..) The steps I provided did not remove the lock, that required alot of patience and, quite frankly, a lot of smashing my head into my desk until something useful came out. I'll build on my previous post with the steps I TOOK THAT WORKED FOR ME. This is in no way a guarantee, promise, or anything of the sort that it'll work as it did for me...
so no whining if you can't figure it out...
Maybe you should have researched more before attempting to modify your device...
I'm just saying..
log into your google account-from diff device
remove locked device from connected devices section
activate sign-out from all accounts
change your Google password
make sure the 2-step verification is off as well as the sign-in with device option
boot device
login/activate account with new password
follow setup instructions on-screen
activate developer options menu
turn on OEM Unlock (and leave it ON PERMANENTLY) without it, you are asking to be bricked and hit with another FRP lock.
continue in any manner you choose
try to use more caution and do a little more research in the future.
Happy Hunting...
& Good Luck...

I really appreciate your help. I kept the firmware files in case of an emergency. I bought this phone online and it is actually Google locked. I do not know the Account or the password. Again, I appreciate your help. Thanks man!
So let me get this straight. You cant even flash new rom with odin because it wont let you, says frp protect, and it has the stock recovery, correct?
It wont let you use wifi? It seems lile it has to let you use wifi, how else is it going to confirm your account? Make sure it doesnt conect to wifi. There is another way besides what I have said here but it requires wifi.
Its a low tech hack (I love those).

The stock firmware I can reflash it. I can not install a custom recovery because the phone is FRP locked. Yes, i get access to WIFI. I have tried many bypasses but this Marshmallow firmware has all the security patches updated. But i will appreciate any suggestions.
I am running G550T1UVU1APF1. I was wondering what would happen if I could downgrade to G550T1UVU1APED. Does anybody have this G550T1UVU1APED firmware file?

On a previous post I mentioned steps required to unlock FRP from the g550t1. There has been some confusion as to the results.
My phone, when FRP was engaged, wouldn't even boot. I'd get maybe 2.5sec before complete shutdown.(no recovery, no loading what so ever..) The steps I provided did not remove the lock, that required alot of patience and, quite frankly, a lot of smashing my head into my desk until something useful came out. I'll build on my previous post with the steps I TOOK THAT WORKED FOR ME. This is in no way a guarantee, promise, or anything of the sort that it'll work as it did for me...
so no whining if you can't figure it out...
Maybe you should have researched more before attempting to modify your device...
I'm just saying..
log into your google account-from diff device
remove locked device from connected devices section
activate sign-out from all accounts
change your Google password
make sure the 2-step verification is off as well as the sign-in with device option
boot device
login/activate account with new password
follow setup instructions on-screen
activate developer options menu
turn on OEM Unlock (and leave it ON PERMANENTLY) without it, you are asking to be bricked and hit with another FRP lock.

Hi I tried using your step. I signed on my google account from both my pc and tablet and I can't find:
remove locked device from connected devices section
Where is it? ON my pc I did see my on5 phone but when I click on it I don't see that is locked or something? Or I cant find it:
remove locked device from connected devices section
A little help? Ok from my pc when I click on my frp lock phone. I see
Account access: REMOVE
So what happens if I click remove? IS that what will solve the frp lock?

The FRP is still on. I can still go to the Google account set up page on the phone. I thought that I could remove the Google account by using these files. But I now understand that these files are only usefull if the phone is "custom bianary lock FRP".

Hi. your phone was flashed without you flashing the AP file? What is the AP file anyway? IT is the largest file on the custom rom I have. I also still have the google verify I can't bypass.
But I want to try to flash again like on your pictures: just flash without the AP file. Will it brick my phone?
Just want to make sure coz I'd rather have a google verify lock than a logo screen FRP lock.
Hello, people.
Let's get straight to the point.
Phone's problems:
Unrooted (This was a mistake)
Stock
USB Debugging off (This is my goal)
Touchscreen unresponsive (Digitizer dead)
Broken screen (It should be obvious what this means..)
Computer not authorized. (Couldn't do anything when the RSA key window pops up.)
Not logged in with Google (Meaning I cannot install jack **** on the phone.)
So, now you know I am in quite the deep ****.
I need USB Debugging on.
I don't care about losing data, because I am a smart human being, and I got those backed up on my pc, and on cloud.
So, ODIN Flashes are no problem, but the thing is that system.img.ext4 does not have the folder I am looking for, since I wanna copy the adbkey.psa file to a certain place. (/data/misc/adb/adb_keys) (I just found this method of authorization while doing some research)
I know about editing the boot.img, and editing default.prop. (Even then, I don't know if only putting a 1 after debuggable and changing mtp to adb is enough, if not, tell me.) (Also, disabling the "protection" or whatever does nothing in the default.prop file)
So, if any of you could help me do this, it would be great.
Why don't you just flash TWRP and use adb in the phone's recovery?

Already tried flashing CWM, not TWRP. Will try TWRP actually, but still, I want to enable usb debugging, and make my phone work together with my pc. I need to look at my calls and messages, alot of stuff, so I actually want to control the phone, through something like MirrorGO.
But whatever, since the phone's screen is completely dead, aswell as the touchscreen, it would be quite hard to navigate.
Edit: TWRP Recovery actually worked, and USB Debugging was turned on. Gonna see if I can push that adbkey..
Why don't you install a new screen?

I will, but I am too busy right now. And since my ISP is sitting on their asses, the only source of internet is my phone.
I legit have to come to my 57 years old father to use the internet at this point.
I just bought a used 6p it keeps saying to log in with previous gmail.how do I fix.

Reset the phone so all data is wiped

That's kinda like the iCloud for iPhones. You need to log in the old Gmail used on that phone to make it work.
So no way around it?

I don't know if installing a custom rom will work. Don't you have anymore contact with the seller?
You can still get in it. Load up your PC and use Nexus Root Toolkit to completely restore the phone to its fresh out of box state. That should clear it up. It'll be like a brand new device that's never been used.
No root so no
Find the person who sold you the phone snd have them put in the credentials, then remove the account from the phone. If not possible then get a refund.

You don't need root to get there. Fastboot flash the factory image per Heisenberg's pinned guide in Nexus 6p General at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928 and refer to section 10. The only thing you need to do is install ADB/Fastboot drivers on your machine or use on of the toolkits (though command line is actually faster and safer).
I'd suggest doing it so it's new, as in out of the box. It can't preserve any previous account data this way and then after you set up the device, you can just keep it stock or modify/customize as you want.
I mean it's kinda smart that they did this because let's say the phone is stolen. If the phone was robbed or so you just have a useless brick lol but maybe the toolkit should help.

Tried that. It doesn't recognize the phone when it restarted as its not in developer mode. You have to have the phone in USB debugging checked I believe is the issue. Correct me if I'm wrong please. I want this phone to work.

USB debugging (it's a setting within the OS) is not required to flash files via fastboot. If you are able to boot into bootloader but your computer isn't recognizing the phone, you likely need to update the ADB/fastboot drivers.

So go to settings click were it says your version of android at the bottom find build number and tap it about 10 times it will say you are now a developer back out and go into developer options find USB debugging and click it and then flash the factory IMG you can download it from the Google developer website were all the image files are stored download your required image android 7.0 for your phone (angler) I believe is the 6p there is instructions on there too it'd easy and you won't have the problem after you flash it back to factory state I think it has something to do with the data partition as the previous account will be stored in data just go and flash it and enjoy your phone

Thank you but with the activation lock. I can't get past the sign in to the previous account on this phone screen. Let alone to the settings.

I tried on a fresh build of windows 10 using latest drivers I thought but worth another try thanks.
Oh the boot loader is locked. Too. Hense the need for USB debugging. I believe this needs to be on to unlock the boot loader. So I go into recovery. The I use the toolbox ap or what ever its called. Wigs. When I go to unlock boot loader. Adb recognises the phone and it fastboots up the phone to on. That's where I get stuck. This is where USB debugging needs to be on to unlock the phone. Is my guess. So to be clear so nobody tells me how to go to settings and do this again. I can only get two steps past the welcome screen. Step one pick WiFi connection, then it asks for previous account info. Google really has this locked down.

Not sure if you're serious or just trolling. It was said a couple times in the thread already. ADB option once the phone is on has nothing to do with fastboot. Boot to bootloader (hold volume down while starting phone) and unlock bootloader and flash a factory image. You said you have Wugs toolkit, I'm not sure if it can be any easier. If problems persist you can sell the phone to me since it's unusable
This is FRP that cannot be bypassed as of Android N. Bootloader can't be unlocked so you can't flash anything. There's simply no way around it. Without the previous owner's Google login, you have a brick.
Nothing you can do you have to have an unlocked bootloader to flash it back to stock. The option to allow the bootloader to be unlocked is within the developer settings "OEM Unlocking". You're only option is to try and track down the owner of this Gmail account.
