I recently got a Galaxy S7 Edge AT&T (SM-G935A) that someone is paying me to unlock. When I start the phone, I see this prompt that's asking me to enter in the Google address previously registered on the phone. I've never seen this before on any of Samsung's
phones. The phone is currently on the June 1st, 2016 security patch, I believe.
I looked around on the web, and I found the whole "disconnecting the wi-fi during the loading screen" trick, to no avail. I don't have the update button available in the wizard app manager, or the "delete data" button.
Is there another way to bypass this? I see the 935A isn't a very popular model, so it's been hard for me to find anything of relevance.
Many thanks!

EDIT:
Finally found a method which solved the FRP. There sure are a lot of originator's and posts/videos about the FRP topic. It's a good learning process... in the process
So I've been working to bypass the FRP on an S& Edge. The AT&T S7 Edge I won via a police auction arrived yesterday. For those folks who would like to purchase items in the same auction location can go to p r o p e r t y r o o m dot com, and register there. This phone was locked, and advertised as so on the website. Other than that it is in very good shape. It is now my fully legal property, so please, let's not get into posts stating it is not, or other 'moral'/intellectual conundrums.
So I bought this phone to have some fun and go about solving the FRP process. When I checked into the fastboot menu, I see that I have the following info:
MMB29M.G935AUCS4APK1
Samsung hero2qlteuc/hero2qlteatt
6.0.1/
I have been 'practicing' methods to bypass the FRP, and initially spent all last night into this morning looking for methods to get to the Google.com, via Youtube/XDA methods to do so. None worked, as I suspect that the security on this phone has been updated, so using the phone dial-er nope, messenger, tapping and selecting text for a search function - no search function is enabled on this phone - nope, voice activation via the tutorials nope, wired headphones nope. And a number of other methods, as well.
In the beginning I used RealTerm. Near as I can understand right now, the RealTerm method is primarily to get the phone dial-er up and then get into Google to go searching/downloading files. I don't understand that process, where you enter a few adt codes to change anything in the phone to disable the "your request has been denied for security reasons". If I am wrong I hope someone will let me know.
This morning I tried another set of Bluetooth headphones, Bose 35's, and once connected up, messed about with the buttons on the headset. After pressing some button combinations, here and there, google voice was activated and brought up the Google search box. No other previous methods accomplished that for me. After that I can search the internet, and that is about all. No access to Chrome as those sites, or proxies receive "your request has been denied for security reasons".
So I can get into the Google search prompt easily enough, and surf about the internet, where before no chance. Google continues to advise that "your request has been denied for security reasons", but I am a step closer... and still so far away.
So my dad works for a company that issues him a phone. When he is issued a new one I usually get his hand me downs. I just got a Samsung S8 from him that apparently was programmed to be locked down with a MDzm of Samsung. It automatically leads up with every boot and tries to register the phone. It locks the home button but I have circumvented this by installing a home button app. The phone is totally useable now but the security policy won't let me use the camera. Is there ahyway to either remove the MDM all together or a work around to at least be able to take pictures? I have tried disabling Samsung Knox as an administrator but it is greyed out and so is the ability to install unknown apps so a modded apk seems to be out of the question as well. Thank you all for any help!!
Most likely he will need his company to unenroll him. I work for att field services and have the same thing, our mdm is mobile iron. In order to unregister the device i would need to go to a website (att proprietary) login with my credentials and retire my device. Then you launch the mdm manager apk and it phones home, sees your no longer a user and unlocks the device. From there you uninstall the apk as normal.
You can try a factory reset, but if they log imeis your dad will need to have IT retire his old device.
I have a former coworker who is foreign, who has me help him with tech stuff among other things. Today he asked me to fix his sister's tablet, a Galaxy Tab A (sm-t580) which wasn't functioning correctly.
understandably, the tablet had its language set for their native language and due to the issues it was having we could not get the language changed so i could work on the tablet properly. The next best course of action was to reset the tablet. so I did.
now comes the issue: my friend and his family primarily use iOS devices, bought the tablet used and never set up their own google account on the device.
So it is FRP locked and nobody knows the necessary account info.
At first I told him that the tablet was useless now, but after a little digging saw that this was something i might be able to get around and fix for him.
Digging further, all I found was conflicting or missing instructions on how to properly do this........
A boot into recovery mode reveals that the current firmware on the device is T580UEU4CSC1
this means that the device has android 8.1 on it and the information i could gather seems to indicated that FRP bypass is more difficult on android 7 and later, but that is where the info seems to dry up. I couldn't find anything specific on what exactly i need to do to get it working again, or whether specific firmware/files needs to be used on this device.
Would really appreciate any info or direction you could provide on this. Thanks.
It has become super hard to bypass FRP on Samsung devices (Not even Combonation files work anymore), If you can prove that you purchased it you can send it back to Samsung and they can unlock it. You're only other option is buying a Octoplus/Jtag/Riff box and using the FRP unlock option on the PC software.

On some devices yes combo files work but not on ALL devices so maybe on this particular device that works.
Hey Everyone,
I have been bashing my head against a wall trying to get this phone unlocked, a friend has passed away and no one knows his PSW. The phone houses information that will help the family.
What I have been able to get access to over the course of time i have spent with all devices.
Emails, laptops, Samsung account.
He was good with securing his passwords but I was able to get through with some persistence.
The phone is linked to his Samsung account and when i go onto: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
i see it however when i try to see any options I get the following:
"Your service provider doesn't support the Find My Mobile service on your phone.
If you've lost a device, you can find it with SmartThings Find in the SmartThings app.
SmartThings Find is only supported on devices with Android O or higher."
smart things gives me absolutely nothing. I tried to bypass the service provider by spoofing the wifi from his home and got him connected but that has given me no further progress.
I also checked if he had developer options on so i could ADB into the phone but again no luck with that. I am down to "3 attempts left" with no option to reset password.
Any help would be super appreciated.
Also have an iPad that i cant figure out the password to but I am guessing that thing is done, and the data cannot be removed from it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

one of the forum members was able to attempt to assist but we did not get far I have not seen a message like this in the samsung account ever and yet it always pops up . we reflashed the phone to a ATT variant and attempted to see if it can be found on that network and we got the same results.
I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place I would love to help the family but I know within 3 attempts the phone will be wiped.
If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.
bump plz help
Data recovery specialist. They're out there.
Didn't they backup the data?
Hi. I have been attempting to unlock the bootloader on my S8, but the option doesn't seem to be in the developer settings. I've tried doing the date trick that everywhere suggests, as well as disabling automatic updates and auto download updates over WiFi, neither of which actually solved the issue. I also tried asking Samsung support and, no surprise, they were completely useless. Could anyone help me with this? I have a Galaxy S8 running Android 9
Samsung certainly has good reasons for not offering the OEM unlock option.
I know all of the risks involved, I just want to try out a different ROM on my device. This is an old device that I don't use anymore, and all of the data on it has been backed up to my computer and transferred to my new phone.
