nexus 6p FRP locked ( all security patches ) question - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can I just install a custom ROM and that would bypass the FRP lock irrespective of the version of OS used or the security patch installed ?

No. Factory reset the phone and enter in the correct Google credentials upon setup. If you are the rightful owner of the phone there should be no problem. I forgot, my mom forgot, my wife forgot, the dog ate my password all won't work.

Thanks ..

Hey hi,
I got a second-hand nexus phone off gumtree for AUD$100 I want to have this fixed. I got to know its frp locked only after I got from the buyer. the Phone doesnt let me log in or use it. I want to fix it. and I have another nexus 6p(bootlooped) which I tried to set it up with a custom rom, but that stuck with trwp and doesnt boot up. I have taken this up to learn how to fix these phones for I love the last of the Nexus line up.
I dont wanna let go these phones.
I humbly request you to help me with fixing both of them.
Regards,
NexusAddict

Samsung SM-T580 FRP Lock

Hi everyone !
I'm actually working in an IT centre (Don't know how to call that, or to traduce to you), and I just got a customer who handed me a Samsung SM-T580 tablet who is FRP locked... I've been searching since 3 days now, trying various methods, even trying a downgrade to other versions, but no luck. I've searched on XDA to see if anyone has got the same problem, but everyone has a different build number, as mine is T580XXU2AQA2. I've seen that if the 3 finals letters/number are PG1, I'm in luck, but if they're PL4, I'm unlucky. But what about QA2 ? And what about the FRP Lock on this build ?
Thanks for help, as I begin to lose hope...

Before attempting to flash ANY ROM on a T580, you have to enable "OEM unlock" in the /Setup/Developer options. If you don't, the way to unbrick the tablet is by using the Samsung Smart Switch app via a PC.

I can't do anything as I had the tablet already locked :/ I can just access the recovery and the download mode (As well as the normal boot, but it is pointless here).
I already flashed a stock ROM via Odin, and it worked fine as it was the same version in the tablet

This one works with the latest build from PL4 to QC2 ( P= 2016, Q= 2017 ) , Android 6 ; not work with Android 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo9uJDDuSxw
Try it, if you can get the Assist then it will work as you can open Chrome to download Google Account Manager to add you own Google account and do the factory reset or just keep it as you are the owner now, taking full control of the tablet.

If you can go to Setting and enable the OEM Unlock, you're not FRP lock and in owner account.
FRP ( Factory Reset Protection ) is a secured method from Google prevents anyone to continue in the settings without passing the verified account steps.
Without the previous synced account ID and password, it will keep you in a loop in the setting steps.

Obviously it is to late for the OP to change to "OEM enable" setting. I was merely pointing out the cause of the problem. But it also seemed apparent that the Google account settings are unknown.
I bought a tablet on eBay that had this problem and was able to get it working using Samsung Smart Switch run from a PC connected to the tablet in the download mode.

The latest build QC2 from US can bypass easily by Google Account Manager app, I believe it will work with your build.

You see this message because you're still at first page of sign in. Reset it: Power + Volume Up + Home you should get to the Recovery and do a Factory Data Reset.
If you already have original owner information, you shouldn't have any problem of setting the tablet at the step of verifying google account.
I have done FRP bypass on the SM-T580 at least 10 tablets a day, so I can say FRP of Google is a joke. I have to deal with FRP lock everyday and I only need 10 minutes to bypass it.
[EDIT] Damned font I misread FRP for FAP
Posted elsewhere, but as I'm getting rather anxious and as I'm waiting for DBT-T580XXU2BQE4-20170525170357.zip to download... I ended up with a FAP lock. I can't find out if there's any difference from FRP lock - is there any?
Also, about Smart Switch, do the instructions from https://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34745 apply? Smart Switch tells me that the device is unsupported and I don't get the Device Initialization tab!
Thanks!
[EDIT2] FW downloaded. Tried to use Odin, but there are four options: BL/AP/CP/CSC. Yet the FW package has these entries:
AP_T580XXU2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
BL_T580XXU2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_OXA_T580OXA2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OXA_T580OXA2BQE4_CL11316739_QB13491827_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
So which one is CP?
You only need to load BL, AP, and CSC, ignore the HOME_CSC, but it seems you're flashing the Android 7 build from Germany which no method works.
You need to downgrade to Android 6, region doesn't matter for the purpose of bypass FRP. When it's done, flash back to your original region in Android 7.
Cellular South PL4 is the build you can downgrade and bypass FRP.

First of all, thank you for your reply indeed.
Yes, I guess it was from Germany since German was its language when it first booted and it was 7.0.
So I'm downloading XAR-T580UEU2APL4-20170407113933.zip (Cellular South PL4) and flashing it with Odin, but once it's done, how do I flash 7 again? Use Odin with the initial BL/AP/CSC that I got?
Again, thank you!
[EDIT] Oh yeah, 6.0 flashed successfully and I'm off FRP lock!!!! Thanks so much... Now I guess I turn on OEM enable in Dev options and flash BL/AP/CSC in Odin?
No need to flash back if you want to keep current US build if it has your prefer language.
However, it's now US tablet, it only update the latest one from US build.
No need to turn on OEM unlock if you know your own Google ID and password.
If you like, flash the Europe build as it has more languages than US one, the same way as you downgrade firmware: load BL, AP, and CSC to Odin.
You're right. I was asking because I thought I'd have lost OTA, which was not the case - device updated OTA to 7.0 so I then proceeded and rooted it again. *Now* OTA is dead, but I'm good.
I was thinking, probably, than on Samsung devices tripping Knox would disable OTA.
Thanks for your reply once more
Tripping Knox doesn’t disable OTA but if the status of firmware is Custom, you won’t be able to update software. I have some tablets which have Knox count more than 1, they update normally because I run stock firmware

Yup! I'm learning by doing
I guess that having an official FW but custom recovery equals to Custom, correct? Which means if I reflash original OTA will be back?
In the setting, About Tablet, Status, if the device status is Official, you have no problem of update via OTA.
Or in Download Mode, if the System Status is Official. I believe your system is Custom if having custom recovery.
Rooted device will become Official if you flash back the stock firmware , however the Knox counting is not rolling back to zero.
Yup, I did know about Knox (that would defeat the purpose, right? ).
If I'm not mistaken flashing original FW will erase data, no? So I'll save it for when there's a decent Oreo ROM out there. Then again, it won't be Original even then so I guess I'm off that road, but I don't think Samsung will be releasing any new OTAs any time soon so there's no meaning in it, surely?

Question about wiping with twrp, dont know lock code

Hi, I'm trying to get my phone back. I lost my phones password that is used to unlock the phone.
I dont know my google account im using on the phone either. Yes this is my phone.
I dont want to get locked out with google frp either
If i put twrp on and do a factory wipe, will i still need the pin?
Also, my phone doesn't need the pin to boot. thanks in advance

No you won't need a pin in twrp if you have not encrypted the device..no you won't need pin to boot, but frp might get you..not sure how that works, I also feel like there are files you can delete through twrp to remove lock code, someone else will have to confirm this though, just something I heard
thanks but its not a concern now. I was on latest official ota update, flashed twrp but cant get lineage, or any custom rom to fully boot. It just gets to the logo screen and wont go any further. I have not used my moto a while.

FRP is disabled on unlocked bootloader.
PIN can be deleted with twrp's file manager.
LOS - you flashed wrong build. You need custom rom for N Modem. LOS by Hashbang works on N modem.

Samsung s8 software problem

So i have an Samsung S8 SM-G950F. I made a factory reset on it but because i forgot my synced google account username and password on it i wanted to flash the same software again on it so i can use it again but forgot to click the OEM Unlock option. Now i flashed custom binary on it and with ODIN i tried to flash my new firmware but nothing happened. And when i enter in the custom binary in developer options there is no OEM Unlock option? What can i do. They told me the only way is to change the main board of the phone. Is this true,i mean the boar costs as much as the phone ...

So you are on nougat right now, ignore what I said then about waiting 7 days, as far as I know it applies to oreo, I mean you can wait and see if you want but apart from that, have you nor acceded your gmail account on a computer or laptop or anything?

FRP lock, verify previous google account . Asus Zenfone 5Q

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.

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

Locked out because of previous Google account - FRP

Hi guys
Today I bought an S8 from a friend and because they didn't clean the phone I decided to do a factory reset from the recovery like I used to do on my S6 all the time. This time I learnt about FRP.
Now I can't log into the device because the setup wizard says I have to log in with the previous google account first, and my friend doesn't have those details (older person).
So yeah, I'm now stuck. I have the stock Pie ROM on there and the the stock recovery. Flashing anything other than the stock ROM through odin doesn't work due to the FRP.
In download mode it says:
KG State: Prenormal
FRP Lock: On
OEM Lock: On
Can anyone help me to make this brick a phone again?
Thank you

Thanks, but the problem is that my phone doesn't have the input options similar to what's shown in that video at 04:00 (the arrow top left isnt present for me)

You're out of luck then. Sometimes we take a loss buying second hand phones. Guess you'll be more careful next time. Strange that the person you bought the phone from doesn't remember their email login. How do this person even use the services offered by Google one might wonder. Just ask for your money back, not your fault that your friend suffer from dementia :cyclops:
This is a grey matter on this site. It has been asked time and time again. The best you will get on xda is either use the search bar it the top of the screen or Google can be your friend. The answer is most definitely out there. and BTW the s6 had frp on it too. This isn't new any more. I can understand back way when frp came out on lollipop some didn't know. But that's been several years now
