Hey,
I posted this topic a week or so ago with the same problem. We're somewhat on to something... we just need someone with a working phone to get the firmware by using their IMEI number in SmartSwitch. If you know anyone else who has the phone, it'd be awesome if you can ask them give that a go.

Root Discovered, but phone is bricked.

I had my phone [SM-G530T1] rooted with TWRP before bricking it with Xposed. Is it possible you can provide us with the stock firmware from your phone using Samsung SmartSwitch or provided us with the S/N for we can do it ourselves. Do you need the method I used to root my GP?
i have my imei

Wait no don't do that !! It won't work people have already tried don't even try bro !
I have created a solution!
I have a fix to get the SM-G530T1 [Galaxy Grand Prime - MetroPCS] working after a soft brick. Back up and running making/receiving calls/texts, but Wi-Fi is not working and my device starts off in recovery. Still need to test out everything else though. Also, the settings say Galaxy Core Prime now meaning everything in the ABOUT DEVICE section will be altered until we have a firmware for our device to download. I used TrapKernel from ShinySide, the provided TWRP for the SM-G530H, and some files from both firmwares of the SM-G360T1 and SM-G530T devices.
Anyway, using ODIN, put the .tar file in the AP slot and flash your phone...GOOD LUCK!
Sorry, I am still too new to post external links. Contact me through other means and I will provide the file until I am allowed to share it here on XDA.
i tired

so i put my phone in download mode and then took out the battery and then factory reset then tired again and i somehow got it to say connect to smart switch i took it to Samsung in best buy and told them my phone went like this after updating and they installed the t mobile version into it and it works with t mobile and metro pcs so my advice find a way to make it say connect to smart switch for emergency firmware thing and take it to Samsung and tell them the t mobile Verizon will work for you hope you for the best my phone started working now:good: only problem is i know can not unlock my phone its locked to t mobile and their prepaid partners and all the t mobile apps and stuff but i got my phone back tho just do not tell them you rooted it
Would this help?....
I also have a bricked SM-G530T1 , along with my new replacement, would it help if I shared my IMEI with one of you? Cuz I would LOVE to fix my other phone.

Well there is easy way to root the phone it takes like 5 mins. It is free and stress free, what I did was use kingroot. Now the most people are not doing there homework, so they end up FRP locking there mobile device. Shame on you nubs, don't skip corners. See the (FRP) factory reset protection is google's doing. They make it harder for would be phone thefts. In the same sequence they made it almost so easy to brick your mobile device. By rooting your phone through kingroot, your mobile device will work until you reboot it. Once you reboot it, you trigger the (FRP) lock and then you are stuck with a bricked device. Now (FRP) lock is on every android 5.0 OP system and higher. What they don't tell you is that when you reboot and or factory reset your device. It automaticlly trips it. If you call samsung they will tell you bring it to best buy and they will help you. This is not true samsung can't do anything cause google is the one behind the (FRP) lock. Now google will ask you to wait 72 hours. Which is also wrong, smart switch,kiers,odin ,nothing will help you. The trick is simple, understanding the (FRP) lock is key. Disable the lock by deleting your google account. Now you might ask your self if i disable my google account how will I download the king root app. That is why first and for most, you download the app and run it. Once you rooted your phone use one of the hundreds of root verify apps to make sure your device is rooted. Now DON'T reboot your phone! Go to you account and delete your google account ,failing to do this will trigger (FRP) lock. Once the google account is deleted, reboot your phone. Now when the phone restarts you will have a rooted phone . Sign back in to google and you will be ready to go. Keep in mind also, I have seen countless people not even trying to root there phone have the same issues with the all black screen (FRP) lock. Just cause they factor rested there device, this will also trigger the lock. So keep that in mind anytime you want to factory reset sign out of google account before you do or same thing will happened, and once it locks your screwed. Now also keep in mind if you rooted your phone and you experienced a (FRP) lock at the moment. You are holding on to a bricked mobile device cause by rooting your phone you killed your warranty. That suck's but for all you nubs out there stop cutting corners do your home work, or pay the price.
my grand prime is bricked to it has the same SM-G530T1 and if I go to metro will they replace it for free ??? I got it a week ago

Would you mind using Flashify app to pull the recovery and kernel from your device? I know someone who is bricked and those two files could fix his issues. I have the Straight talk version so it's a no go on my end. He does have the Metro PCS version.
Thanks in advance.
I have a device I recently bought from the internet. It has a device protection on it. The seller says he cannot remember such information for me to gain access. So I am pretty much stuck.
How would I go about bypassing this?
Thank you in advance.

I have already tried to return and he was having none of it, it's been sat in the draw for the last month but I've only just round to try and bypass this.
Which at the moment looks highly impossible.
Is it on lollipop ?

I have no idea mate, I can't tell. It's just stuck on the 'Verifying your account' screen.
How would I go about checking with no access to the phone?

Does anyone else have any advice at all?
Thanks

Hey Decl4n I have the same issue except, the owner has given me all info. The issue I'm having is the phone will not connect to wifi nor data. Was this the same for u??
---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------
I'm having the same issue but for me I have email and password. My issue is it say the connect thing I hit OK and I try to connect to wifi or data and it just sits there spinning and spinning and spinning.. so I can not proceed further. Any suggestions plz... thankyou
This is one method of getting around the Google FRP Lock:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD6RcS8ulGw
He basically uses a loophole on the first time setup WiFi page to launch Google Assist - bypassing the setup process, download/sideloads some apps and adds a Google Account.
You don't have to have the apps on a separate sd card; you can download them from apk-mirror using the Stock Browser, then go back and install them through My Files.
When rebooting the phone - it forgets about the previous owners Google Account that was on the phone.
It's quite funny really - not very good security.
I ran into this problem when I factory reset a G903F on the latest BTU firmware using the old HOME+VOLUP+POWER combo.
Flashing the latest firmware using ODIN with re-partition and erase NAND didn't even remove it.
Coming from an older S2 - I didn't realise that setting a lock screen pin activated other security mechanisms.
It basically thought I'd nicked it.
I should've factory reset it through the Settings > Backup & Restore menus - have to remember that!
Good night my problem is this, I'm Argentine so I apologize if I open a post for something that already has spoken in another, buy a s6 edge + a friend and I did hard reset from recovery, not knowing that the new lolipop was bringing the protection of accounts, and turn it take me that surprise, my friend does not remember the account and password, so I urgently need someone to help me like this happen to overlook, or fix it.

The best thing you can do is ask your friend to reset his google password and then let him unlock your phone. That's the most XDA can help you with since we have no idea how the device was obtained. If he was your friend, he should take the responsibility of unlocking your phone.

Android phones require ONLY the Google account information to bypass the restriction.
Download the bypass app, then plug otg, install that then reset, i think that ur phone is not the newest version, so otg method would work

Use this service to gain access to your s5, cost is $20. They'll give you a username and password. You'll be able to use the phone but you won't be able to take reactivation lock off. Now flash official firmware, lollipop version using odin. Root the phone and follow the guide below to get on NCG. Then on NCG you'll be able to take reactivation lock off permanently. After that flash marshmallow PF4 and you'll have an updated S5 with reactivation lock off. I was in the same situation except i bought mine brand new and the password didn't work. Samsung refused to help me take the lock off and i was locked out of my own phone even after i provided proof that it's my phone. This is what i had to do and my S5 works great now....good luck!

Thx for help, but i cant pay anything right now, i used all my money on this s5 =/
Check out the thread "Reactivation lock can be turned off finally for those stuck on reactivation lock" in the Verizon s5 general forum. There's a way. If you get stuck pm me.

Check YouTube, look for the latest one or one that matches the android version you're on. I accidentally locked myself out of mine months ago and managed to unlock it.
