My FRP method this:
Phone G935A, used Firmware G935U (not AT&T bloatware)
Insert prepaid sim 0$, and 0mb internet, but LTE network...
Personalise phone start, and wifi not turn on. Google verification fail, and NEXT button active...
Personalise finish, and turn dev.opt on, oem unlock on, and add the google account.

So, I purchased a galaxy S7 (G935F) that turned out to be locked to a google account that the seller claims to have no details of. I have already paid for the phone and would not get the money back. I am now stuck with this phone that keeps on asking for the stupid google account details without which it would not let me use the phone. I have tried looking everywhere on the internet and came to the conclusion that I need to reset or bypass factory reset protection (FRP) in order for me to able to use the phone. Xda senior and expert my last hope to get solution here. I request to all expert pls help I love my phone and don't want to lost my phone.. last 3 month I am searching for this solution but no success. :crying:

I am willing to bet the phone is not bricked.
Try switch it off, (remove battery and put back in if necessary).
Then all at same time press power on, volume down and home button. When it vibrates let the buttons go. this should get to download mode.
If you see that yellow triangle you can be saved.
Then you need to get a Stock rom from Sam Mobile, for your model of phone. SM910F ???
Download program called PC Odin.
The rest you will see on you tube etc. How do I flash stock rom on Galaxy note 4.
If your lucky you will have a perfectly good phone. :laugh:
Either way you have nothing to lose.. If Download mode can be reached, there is a fix for your phone.
Hey sorry for late reply,i just went to the "experts" who had somekind of "box" callef device and he fixed it for me , octopus box or something. So i sold the phone and got a moto x plau xt1562. I didnt like the touchwiz vibe anyway. Love the stock android experience.
Greetings,
I've been on these forums before, not officially, but have used these forums for help. At this time I can't find anything that has been of any help and I'm quite new to Samsung devices, primarily have always had HTC one iPhones. The problem I bring to you is a Sprint variant Samsung S6 Edge that is Google locked, in short FRP locked. I've tried using Real-Term or even the Side Sync with no success at all, but it seems to be working for everyone else. The exact model number is: SM-G925P. It's been a headache these past few hours trying to get around it, but I've had no success. If I use Odin I've only gotten a fail error when trying to flash anything, even following the exact steps. I heard about z3x, but I am not familiar with it. Any help getting around this will be greatly appreciated.
I'm in college and I recently busted my little LG HD Tribute and I decided I would look at the market for a new phone.
One of the new college students fixes busted up phones and sells them so I went to see what he had.
He was selling a brand new Galaxy S7 Edge for 50$ and I thought it was a steal, so I looked at it and it was working well for about 3 days.
I had it turned off charging the other night and I went to turn it on and it began to flicker the Samsung Galaxy Edge screen it shows whenever you turn it on, and just kept flashing. and does literally nothing else. I didn't know what to do, so I tried to reboot it in recovery and all it does is flash "recovery booting" and that's it. So, I can't even get into the BIOS settings of the phone to try and reset it to factory settings or anything like that.
The only thing I can get to pop up is the Custom OS Downloading screen and the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software." screen. So, I downloaded the Smart Switch PC program and ran it, plugged it in and it doesn't recognize the S7 Edge as a supported device. I tried changing USB ports and all, but it just doesn't recognize it. I tried the Emergency feature and that doesn't help either. Even with the SN and the Model ID it still can't fix it.
So I'm guessing it updated while I was sleeping? And something went wrong? I don't know, I didn't physically buy the phone from the carrier myself so I don't think I can just walk into T-Mobile and ask them to help. I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be wonderful.
Have you tried reflashing everything with odin?

"selling a brand new Galaxy S7 Edge for 50$" a phone that cost around 700$?
The fact that it was sold "brad new" for 50$, didn't trigger some warning light in your brain?
Your s7e is no more than a cheap replica of the original, so "good luck" with the fix!!!

I don't think it was brand new. Because it only started acting weird just after three days. The screen would never flicker only because of an update, so it is definitely a defective phone or a fake one because no body in this world would sell such an expensive device for such a low price, considering that it costs more than 700$ brand new.
It may have been a brand phone, but since the guy according to you sells refurbished phones.
In your mind you should of known, he may have worked on it because it was defective for some reason.
To get it for a cheap price.
Not even defective refirbs would sell for that cheap.. most likely a fake goophone s7 there less than $100 New and they don't last long at all
Post some pics of it :good:

^ That is the album everyone has requested.
It's spaced out because of spam filter xda-developers website has, so just add period.
I went back to the guy today and he admitted that he had actually stolen the phone from his step dad which makes a ton of sense.
This man had stolen the phone and apparently couldn't get into his step dad's Google account so he flashed it with Odin himself and that's how he got it working. He said he couldn't keep the phone due to his step dad would eventually found out he had it but honestly, I don't want the phone knowing this now. It's hot, and it's almost a brick. I seriously feel like a criminal having it, but I spent my work-study money on it and if I'm going to have it in my possession, I want it to at least work.
I left prior to him telling me that he had stolen the phone because I was disgusted and frankly I don't want to associate with this guy knowing this, even if he was honest...
I took it upon myself to try and fix it. I have tried flashing it with Odin myself like one of the users have suggested using the SM-G935T that is on the back of the phone as a reference for downloading the necessary files for the phone's model.
Every time I run Odin while it's plugged in saying it's "Downloading Custom OS" I get the error message: FAIL! (Auth) in Odin.
I don't know what to do.
Any advice would be lovely.
Thanks in advance.
