FRP LOCK SM-G530W (Kodoo Variant)

Hey guys! A friend of mine gave me her old phone (Samsung Grand Prime(SM-G530W)) and I planned to reset it so my Father can have a new phone. Unfortunately, after a hard reset the phone kept asking for the previous gmail account (My friend said it's a very old gmail and have not logged in with it for so long).
So far I have tried to flash 2 stock firmware (both lollipop 5.1.1 and even tried to flash a bell variant firmware) with Odin and no luck so far.
Thanks for the help in advance!

It doesn't matter how many different versions of firmware you flash. It's a security feature built in to the device to deter theives from stealing it. (Think iCloud lock for Android, similar concept).
There are methods to bypass this but I won't discuss them as I don't know for sure how you came across the phone and don't want to be complicit in theivery, but be sure to check google.
Your best bet at this point is to give your friend some truth serum and torture her for the old password (Or to ask her to initiate password recovery in order to obtain a new password. Please note that after the password has been changed you will have to wait a further 72 hours before accessing the phone.... another google security thing).

Cannot add a new gmail account to the phone unless he is able to access the phone... which he needs the old account information for. The problem is he cannot access the phone because
The phone was already hard reset (No Contacts or Data on the phone, it's been wiped) so this is a mute point.

1- Perform a factory reset using recovery mode
2- when the phone boot up , Connect your phone to a wifi and complete all necessary step until you have to verify your Google account .
3- When you are to the point when you have to verify your account use the the OTG Cable in order to connect your phone to some memory stick which contain the bypass app
4- Navigate to the app and install it .
5- immediately after installing open the app , it will redirect to SETTINGS .
5- open it and navigate to Backup and Reset
6- proceed to the factory reset again
7- choose erase everything
Done
The next time it boot up , Frp should be gone

How do you navigate anywhere without a file browser though? What am I missing? At the point you're asked to sign into the google account there's no option anywhere I can find to navigate anywhere but the password text area

Worked for my SM-G530W (Solo Mobile Canada, but has nothing to do with the firmware as is factory unlocked w.w.)
I had the same problem, and i used KIES 3 (not compatible with my phone anyway), but if you go on Kies toolbar to "TOOLS", "Firmware Upgrade and initialisation", it asks you for your device model (for mine i typed SM-G530W, and then it asks you for device serial number (S/N) found under the battery by the IMEI number. After this, follow on screen prompts (Restart your device in Download mode/ PDA, connect USB cable, etc), and let the software download and install (factory rom); After your device restarts, you are good to go (sometimes if it gets stuck on booting, remove battery for fer second and start again.) Now you have to go back and set up everything you want, including re-rooting your device... Good luck. (My device is Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530W Factory unlocked rom, Android 5.11.

Hi,
I am somewhat in the same boat. My friend's SM-G530W just crashed in her hands, and she ended up buying a new phone. When I got to her place she told me nobody managed to do anything with it, not even her carrier (Telus) , so I said gimme that and i'll see if there really is nothing you can do. Factory reset didn't fix the boot loop , so I grabbed the latest firmware from sammobile and reflashed it using Odin. I didn't even know about FRP until that day. After flashing , the phone came to life.. so I said to myself.. Too easy! .. Then FRP hit me. Because she didn't even understand what a google account is , I ended up resetting her password using her new phone and a google code to change it. Afterwards the phone told me I needed to wait 24h after a password change. It has now been 2 weeks , and same issue. I know I have the right password because if I type another , it tells me wrong password , but when I type the correct one it says to wait 24h, but it never goes beyond that.
I have tried every method possible that I have seen to bypass FRP, including OTG , disconnect wifi during update check, realterm and a few softwares , yet the same problem persist. I also tried Freelancer's tip , but same thing. It still asked for the old account because password was reset, and again tells me to wait 24h because of a password change.
Any more ideas?
SM-G530W Telus

Damn
Out Of all the phones in the world you had to get that one.... that one is impossible to unlock, it uses multiple built-in software and has a glitch in the systems hardware to make it impossible to unlock I have two of them since 2016, december 12th, it is 2017-12-25. and let me tell you I would give anyone 1000$ who ever can prove me wrong... I am very confident that this phone can not be unlocked, it was one of the first phones to use frp and honestly it kinda sucks, I got a samsung galalxy 8s now... perhaps in the distant future someone will unlock this phone.. but ofcourse by then it will be ****...

This is going to sound crazy, but I guarantee that it will work. I have unlocked a dozen plus grand primes SM-G530W phones. You will not need any OTG cables or flash any firmware. But you will have to download a couple apk's to remove the account. So that said. Take your grand prime to MacDonalds. . When there connect to the MacDonalfs free wifi. Normally you cant open a captive portal on google locked phones. But you can with the grand prime. The macdonalds splash screen will open up and you can scroll down to the bottom and click a link for policy. That will open your browser. From there you can download technocaretricks apk and quickshortcutmaker apk and bypass the google account .

Sold Nexus 6p

I sold a nexus 6p online. I shipped it out to the buyer. He received it and he is unable to sign into his account on the phone. It is telling him that it's still attached to my account. I was wondering if there was a way to remotely delete my account so the buyer and sign into it with his account.

Search google for FRP (factory reset protection).
As far as I know there is no way to do it remotely. I think you should have signed out of your google account before you reset the phone. Most likely he will have to ship it back to you so you can sign in and then remove your account.

Here: https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1
But I'm not sure how that will affect the device.
You could always change your password to something stupid for a few seconds for him to sign in and sign out depends how sensitive data you have on your account..

Will Android device manager do it? Will it remotely wipe the phone and remove my account from it, or will it flag the phone as stolen. I cannot get any solid information from repeated Google searches as to what happens after the device is remote wiped.

Android Manager will wipe the device but when it turns on it will ask for any Google account it was bound to before wipe. The other person needs to enter your Gmail account, then his, then you can either change password to your account or wipe it with Device Manager and next time it boots it will accept your account or his (because both were added before wipe).

You can always set a temporary password to your Google account, send it to the buyer and have him log in with his account. After that, you change your password back and voilà.

Is all of this a working protection against simply Fastboot unlocking bootloader, flashing stock image then rebooting into a working phone?

If the bootloader is currently locked, I believe you would have to go into developer options to enable the OEM unlocking setting... Which you can't get to because of the FRP.

Unlocking bootloader (OEM unlocking in dev options) deactivates this protection but to do it you still need to get in there somehow and you can't without first logging into a Google account it is currently bound to. And as you probably know without unlocked bootloader you can't flash anything.
And even if he could flash new ROM my friend had bought used Samsung S7 Edge and previous owner also left it locked. You can flash different ROMs with S7 Edge out of the box but the FRP survived several attempts at flashing stock/custom ROMs. We had to use the workaround found here at xda S7 forums.

Thanks for all the info.
I did not unlock the bootloader on the phone. I read a little bit about Factory Reset Protection and the only way around it was to sign in to the phone and then remove your account from the phone. It's something that was new this year for Android devices and I was just unaware of it.

It's actually been around awhile, just not widely implemented. If you remember which monthly security update you last installed, he might be able to get around it. YouTuber root ninja has some videos depending on patch. The one I watched just for kicks (since I'd like my 6P to be protected if lost) was a few months old though.

I heard that with a simple factory reset with the stock recovery should remove the account from the phone.

Lol good luck with getting that off remotely it's impossible it's kinda like apple cloud system which is really good.

Just input the last used gmail and password! EASY!

Yeah simple as that. You need to enter the last Gmail account and password used to log into the phone. From that point you need to manually log out of the account in Settings and log on with the account you want to use.
As far as getting around FRP, you won't find an answer here. As stated in numerous other threads, if a thief were to steal a phone, they could just google how to get around it and find out how here on XDA. Not accusing you, of course, but you see how posting that info publicly would render FRP useless, since it would be so easy to circumvent.
I'm not even sure it's possible, honestly. If you bought the phone second hand, you'll need to contact the previous owner and meet up so they can log into and back out of their account, or set up a temporary password for you so you can log in and clear their account from the device.

i red the opinion both of you my seniors,but the problem is that the customer owned the mobile forgot his id or pass to login or to reset it,its not stolen fone,
i had post here to look some help to remove frp lock in this model,so anyone have some thing to share plz,,,,,,
thanks.

Nobody here knows, as far as I've seen. It's not something that's been posted about.
Previous owner would need to recover their Google account. There's a "Forgot Password" link when trying to log in. If the previous "owner" is acting shady and just giving excuses as to why they can't log in / recover their Google account, then my guess is they stole it and sold it to you.
Not sure how much help it would be, but if you suspect this to be the case you could always call the non emergency phone number for you local police department and file a report. They may be able to match the IMEI of the handset if someone reported it stolen and provided that information to police.
No one here is holding out on you, though. Sorry that's happening & best of luck.

hmmmmmm,,,,,thanks anyway.

Help! Stuck in google verify!

I have been trying to reboot a used phone I have bought. The Samsung Galaxy J3 (6). Yes, there is a 6 after the J3 inside of a little circle. Apparently this is the closest thing that xda has to it on the forums. I have tried everything I could find on the internet to get around this google verify problem from the previous user. I have used the emergency caller to basically access everything on the phone. I have attempted to change the google account through settings, I have installed new apps to access other areas, I have have tried to downgrade Google Account Manager to disable the "error" problem in the quick shortcut app. This last method didn't work due to the phone not letting me be able to downgrade. I have installed the rootjunkie's samsung unlocker apk and got to settings. I have factory reset from here twice, with and without a password. Both did not do a thing for me. I am out of ideas. can anybody help me out here?

The issue is FRP. Someone has factory reset from recovery instead of settings.
If you can get into settings as you say then set up another Google account then switch to that account.
Restart and log into that account.
Which firmware build is the device running?

I have tried to add a Google account through several methods as well. Through settings, through Gmail app, through play store. All of which keep taking me to the same verification check screen, but it allows me to back out to the settings again.

My version is 6.01 I believe. But I cannot downgrade to the 6.01 Google account manager with new security stuff.

Your device is nearly identical to J320A & J320AZ.
I am unsure if you need to enable "oem unlock" from Dev options to flash the kernel.
But if Odin let's you this method should get you going.

Forgot PIN, Google, FAP locked. No access on everything. Please help...

so, I have Samsung J7 2016 left on my drawer for years now, dont know the PIN and the google account. I dont want to lose the data in it coz its the phone I have used to take pictures on my newborn baby so no to Factory Reset. I've Googled for a while and found out about Odin with TWRP then you have to delete some files using TWRP. problem is, when I go to download mode and flash TWRP using Odin, it says FPA is locked and wont proceed.
I really dont know what to do next. Programs such as Dr.Fone is requiring me to go to Settings>Developer>USB Debugging but I cant go there because my phone is locked with PIN.
Please someone help me, I need to unlock my phone.

Surely the Google account is the same as you're using now?
I have had the same account on 10+ devices for years.
Google account is simply your Gmail address.
