Hi All,
I need urgent help please.
I upgraded my Nexus 6p to Oreo after I received Oreo update OTA. After the update last night, my phone is constantly in bootloop and not able to go beyond Google logo. My phone is not rooted. Even, entering into recovery mode is 1 out of 10 times. I have factory reset the phone but same issue persists. Also, the phone is OEM Flashing locked.
I will really appreciate urgent help.
Thanks!
Have you enabled Developer Options and OEM Unlocking? If yes, I suggest you to unlock your bootloader / download latest factory image / flash it.
If not, you may contact Google / Huawei (depending on where you bought it - if Google Store, maybe Google will exchange it for a Pixel XL).

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, I did not enable OEM Unlocking and my phone is out of warranty
In my country (India), Google is not replacing phones.

I know the feeling, I live in Brazil and I'm on my own, too.
Read the post I shared, there's some tips to boot it once and then you can enable OEM unlocking and try to perform the additional tweaks shared there. Since you don't have anything to lose, give it a try.

I bought a used zenfone 5Q off of ebay and it had a screen lock password protection on it. I used fastboot and I think what I did was try to rewrite the recovery image. I now have the dreaded FRP lock problem (sign in with previous google account). I cannot figure out how to fix or bypass the FRP lock. The only thing I've come up with is try to use TWRP to backup from a 2nd good 5Q phone I have and restore it to the bad bricked phone but since I cannot access the settings I cannot even enable USB debugging to try to unlock the bootloader. I've been trying for days to figure out how to fix this FRP lock, can anyone please help me?

With frp enabled, your not going to be able to use fastboot or recovery. Contact the seller of the device. I'm sure there's a frp bypass method, but I doubt you will find one posted.
Where did you find twrp for this device?

no the seller posted that it has a password lock and it's for parts. well I thought doing a hard reset would fix that but turned out it was harder than I thought, recovery mode didn't even work. I actually did send command to it using usb to update the firmware and I think what I did was rewrote the recovery image, but I'm not sure. I was able to get teh phone to the let's get started part but than it asks for the previous google account. there is not 1 single frp bypass for this phone yet and every method of trying to get out of the lets get started page is useless. there's tons of 5q twrp tutorials out there, it wont let me post the link but the best one i saw was from getdroidtips

If I had a spare device I would try to assist you with the frp bypass, but my 5q is my only phone. I'm going to lean towards the phone was stolen if the seller doesn't know the Google account info. If you have an otg maybe give that a try. Many of the old frp bypass methods have been patched, so most of my old methods probably won't work. There are eBay services that attempt to do it for a fee, but I personally would not trust them.

the only ebay frp services I saw were for samsung, I don't think I saw many asus frp services. yeah like you said I have only seen tutorials for up to the zenfone 3 or 4. and none seemed to work, everything seems patched. when I google 5q frp, the first hit is this thread, lol. hopefully in the future someone can find a way. I have a fully working 5Q, I was just thinking hey wow a 5Q for $120, I could fix it, but no

yes you can. I was able to update the firmware with adb to the locked 5q, but instead what that did was remove the pin lock screen however the "welcome please set up phone " came up and then it said log in with previous google account. this is an frp lock, don't think adb can do anything, that I know of

doesn't custom rom require usb debugging enabled? How can I enable it if I cannot access settings? I think I did try to reboot bootloader, I could be wrong, but I don't think that worked. frp lock isn't a joke, it is a b$tch to bypass unless someone else has fixed it
just an update: found asus support online and they said it's under warranty (through imei number lookup) through sometime in 2019, gave me an rma and an address to send it back. Just sent it. included ebay receipts, not sure if that helps at all or just confuses them. so best bet to get this fixed is either 1) do not buy any phones that have FRP lock on them or any kind of a pin number lock. return back to ebay if you were mislead or just don't be tempted because of the low price like me thinking it will be easy to fix by resetting it, doesn't work. or 2) asus support and they will lookup your warranty coverage. fingers crossed. I asked them if they'll just give me a refurb, the rep said no they'll fix it so there is a chance they can't do anything, but they did make the phone, hopefully they have software that can truly reset those phones and wipe off the FRP. everyone including best buy cell reps and even asus customer support have no clue what I'm talking about when I mention factory reset protection lock, they can't even repeat back what I just called it. will update if this works. if your phone is out of warranty ask if you can pay to have it fixed, assuming mine returns back actually fixed, will update again hopefully
SOLVED! after I did a chat with asus phone support they gave me the RMA number. I had to pay shipping, used usps priority (they give you 30 days I think for the RMA). anyways they spent literally 2 days after they got my zenfone 5Q and fixed it!. the papers for the work says "problem /symptom : OS hang up" "action: reinstall HDI image (PC) / FOTA (phone/pad) to solve the problem. you do not send in the charger or anything, just the phone, do not send any case or protectors with it. In my case it was still under warranty since this is a new phone. talk to asus support under the section phones (not computers, laptops, etc) tell them the problem (google factory reset protection, cannot set up phone because it asks for a email and password which you do not have and that you purchased it like that, cannot set up phone to use it, etc). they will ask imei and check your warranty. if your phone is out of warranty beg them if you can PAY to have it fixed, THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!!! my phone is working RIGHT NOW!!! it is 7.1.1 android and everything seems to be working!! next time NEVER buy a phone with a pin lock or any lock on it. make sure the seller unlocks it and removes their google account!! I never tried contacting google if they can remove, maybe they can but their FAQ on frp lock says if you cannot remember the info than you are out of luck!, good luck!, never buy a phone with a password lock on it! no matter how cheap it was to buy it
***DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK***
***IF YOU MESS SOMETHING UP DO NOT BLAME ME***
***I AM SHARING A METHOD THAT WORKED FOR ME, MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU***
***READ EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING***
***I ONLY TESTED THIS ON THE S7 (FLAT) - G930FD***
If you are like me (an amateur) and forgot to OEM Unlock (in Developer Options) and flashed a custom rom, and now stuck on FRP lock and cant boot your phone, this guide may be for you.
You probably tried flashing the original firmware with ODIN and it keeps failing.
After spending a lot of time trying to revive my S7 with different original firmwares, I realized that the device wouldn't take anything older than the firmware on which it got locked.
It also failed when I tried to flash the whole firmware at once. So I had to flash it in pieces - The order below worked for me, not sure if it will work for everyone else.
Here is how I finally got it to boot after being stuck on FRP lock:
I Used the most recent Firmware, location (CSC) didn't seem to matter. - All you're trying to do here is to get it to boot.
You can try using the one I used, I uploaded it in pieces to Dropbox:
BL - https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wwu8wn54...3_QB19588892_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5?dl=0
AP - https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8vgdyfb1...9588892_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5?dl=0
CP - https://www.dropbox.com/s/dldh07gjxe5e607/CP_G930FXXU3ERHC_CL878338_QB10643129_SIGNED.tar.md5?dl=0
CSC - https://www.dropbox.com/s/1u66yrt11...1_QB19668317_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5?dl=0
PIT - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yacn187sp4xok9v/HEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN45M.pit?dl=0
Odin - https://www.dropbox.com/s/sblzsuetto2qreu/Odin3_v3.13.1.zip?dl=0
USE A RELIABLE USB CABLE
1. Using ODIN, flash PIT -> Reboot
2. Flash CP -> Reboot
3. Flash BL -> Reboot
4. Flash CSC -> Reboot
5. Flash AP -> Reboot
6. Your phone should now boot and bypass FRP.
7. Once it boots, you will have to verify your Google account.
7. Once verified, go to Developer Options and switch OEM Unlock to ON
Now you should be able to flash anything you want without getting FRP lock. :victory:
I hope this method works for those stuck on FRP lock.
Is this working on SM-G930XXX ??? thank you

Hi, I'm in the same situation but I try to hard reset from recovery first: do I have some chances to see my data again?
Is a Factory Reset Protection Lock, in the end, isn't it?
I found the same firmware than before, do I find there home_CSC?
Thanks

hello xda,
I recently purchased a S7 edge with firmware G935FXXS8ETC1 from ebay , the seller had just upgraded to an s9 and sold this s7 edge to me. Upon receiving it i turned it on and was met with the "enter pin or fingerprint " to unlock .
So i emailed the bloke straight away and he said it should have been factory reset and there was some concern about his data being still on the phone. However , as i was emailing him i could see the email notifications of the emails i was sending appearing on the screen whilst it was locked (push notifications)
Anyway he gave me four or five different pins which did not work so i did a factory reset on the device by holding volume up, home and power button and when the phone boot up i was met with the frp lock.
I was on the phone to the bloke for around an hour typing in every possible gmail account possible he could have had . i got one and it processed , asked to verify by text and entered confirmation code which the guy emailed me but the device just went back to beginning again. there is absolutely no doubt the phone is legit as the dude owns a business and was very well to do , and i could see that he did have the phone registered to the email address i was sending emails to..
The guy offered me a full refund but i really want this phone up and running and paid 100 quid for it
but im unable to do anything with frp , it just isnt taking the details hes giving me.
There is no adb enabled , no oem unlock
i have fixed , unlocked , rooted many devices via help from you guys and i do know the policy for certain files and how there are folk who misuse the site . So as a last resort i ask the ones with the knowledge for some assistance and what to do next .
As always thanks in advance , much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read my post

I've been trying for a long time to get OEM unlock with the Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro SM-J530 G variant. I've seen people unlocking the BL in the J730G, same exynos chip.
Here is what I have tried so far:
All date/time tricks
Factory reset
Flash Stock ROM
Waited 7 days
My last attempt made me give up and ask for help here... I completely flashed the most recent stock rom, wiped everything using the CSC file not the CSC-HOME, I did the start setup logging into samsung account and google account, after completing the start setup I inserted the SIM card otherwise that stupid start setup would consume 4G costing me $$$.
Waited for 168 hours with the device always on, and still no OEM UNLOCK, I mean what else can I do... there's almost nothing about this problem with this device here on XDA... I'm hoping someone with a SM-J530G and that had OEM Unlock could tell me what was the process to enable this option. Or what are my options here? Thx
And by the way, I've seen something called Miracle Box, but I dont want to use it since it does not look very legal, I think its meant for FRP bypass. I'm just an android user trying to root my personal device e.e
I'm having the same problem, I'm tired of this, never buying Samsung again. I tried all the things I searched on the internet for hours and nothing works, I do not want to wait 7 days, if you find a method of bypassing that actually works, please do tell me, I will do the same if I find one.
I'm so pissed.
I have good news for you my friend, and for everyone that is reading this. I tried many and more times the same procedure changing small things. I will try to write it out as best as I can so I can help some fellow buddies who've got the same problem.
1 - (As I had already everything backed up and got nothing to lose) Factory Format the device (I did it from the bootloader), hell, I even also cleared cache just for god's sake.
2 - Proceed to initiate Android, DON'T sign-in to any account (nor Samsung nor Google), don't change the date during installation, finish set-up.
3 - DON'T enable Developer's Mode yet. Change the date, I've set it for a month back just to be damn sure (disable automatic date-set). Now go to the Software Updates tab and disable auto-updates and manually check for updates, once done, re-boot.
4 - Once rebooted enable auto-date (that should correct the old date and replace it with the actual one) and re-do the manual check.
5 - Re-boot and enable Developer's Mode and hopefully, for the love of Ragnar Lothbrok, OEM Unlock should be there. I hope it is for all of you.
Hope it helped, good luck buddy/buddies!

That is awesome! I'm going to try it tomorrow, I've been using the device doing my third 168 hours. If it fails again I will repeat everything like you did.
Thank you!!
Sent from my SM-J530G using XDA Labs
Another 168 hours wasted and I followed the trick above, it does not work it was patched with the august 2018 security patch, my device is running with the november 2018 security patch.
My frustration is beyond what I expected to experience with this device... I guess most people were able to activate this thing except me >.<
Enlighten me
When you keep it for 168 hours does the WiFi have to be on or is that not necessary

I apologize for my stupidity...
On a recent trip to China I recklessly purchased the used TAB A 10.1 model SM-P585Y.
The tablet worked perfectly, but when I came home I did a reset to clean it and once restarted the system remains with the FRP Lock.
The operating system is Oreo and I can't load any more twrp.
If I downgrade to Marshmallow, it doesn't reboot but only enters Factory Recovery mode...
In this mode, if I enable the Developer Option and then usb Debugging in the settings, there is no trace of the OEM unlock.
I can't load TWRP with odin nor with ADB (but maybe I don't do the correct procedure...)
If I do the update again at Oreo there is no recovery...
This is because when I flash Oreo with Chimera, the image file in the firmware is greater than the PIT, so I have to skip otherwise it stops.
When I start the system only arrives at the google account screen but I can't go any further, not even by opening a sort of chrome browser reduced by touching the google sign from one of the info screens that I can access from the keyboard settings.
Can someone please help me?

Any chance of turning off FRP through the Google account of whoever's account was on the tablet once you had it? I thought you could disable that by logging into Google with that account and turning it off via the web.
Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, others probably know much better.
Good luck!

Does anyone know if it is possible to re-lock the bootloader on the Galaxy Tab A T510? If so, would I begin with flashing back to stock firmware then disabling OEM unlock in developer options or following different steps? I certainly want to avoid bricking the device. I've searched for a solution but can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

You need to download the latest stock firmware either from Samsung or Sammobile and use Odin to flash it. DO NOT DISABLE OEM!!!! That has nothing to do with locking the bootloader. Flashing the stock ROM will do that. The OEM enable only disables the FRP lock which makes you login with the same google account used BEFORE a factory reset. If you are sure you know that account login and password, the FRP lock isn't a problem.
edit: The problem with the FRP lock is that people will often create a new google account login and password when first setting up their tablet. And because you only have to do that once, they tend to forget one or the other. Then, if they do a factory reset without the OEM enabled, they are locked out of the tablet.

No, but it does "lock" the tablet from getting OTA updates.
I have reflashed the stock firmware however I'm still receiving the following message during boot..."The bootloader is unlocked and the software on this device cannot be verified". Is there a way to remove this message? I am planning to return the device and I want to reset everything. Thanks!
