Hello everyone.
My brother gave me his S7E and he factory reseted the phone from recovery (wipe data/factory reset). Before he has done that, he removed the fingerprints
Now when we boot the phone, it's stuck on the Google Account sign in, I've tried using my gmail to login, but it didnt let me, after few tries, still nothing.
Then I've tried my brothers gmail, yet again it wont let us to login. It's like, it logins but it want's us to login again. Over and over and over again.
So I know this is kinda a noob question, but please can someone help me?
Further thanks.
it's google security, u have to log in with the last google acc used on that phone after factory reset, it's to prevent the use of a stolen phone even doing a factory reset, there's no way to deactivate it and once u input the correct credentials the initial setups begins ,ake sure u're login with the right one
Your "brother" might have used another account.

It's FRP lock protection, used to protect against a phone being stolen then factory reset and sold on.
All you need to do is log in using the Google account that was in place prior to the factory reset being carried out. Which, presuming it is actually your brothers phone, won't be an issue. If he isn't sure about the password, test the account on a computer of some sort. If the password doesn't work, reset it. But note that, if a password reset is carried out, you won't be able to log that account into the phone for 72 hours.
3 days late response. Sorry. So I figured out everything from Samsung directly (over live support)
I'd like the mods close this thread and mark it as SOLVED.
Everything (anyone) who gets locked out of their phone (when they reset it from recovery).
1. Reset your Google account password and do not attempt to login when you have changed it.
2. Wait 24 hours to pass
3. Login and reset the phone from settings
OPTIONAL
If you don't want the FRP to happen, ever again. Disable it in the Developer Option (OEM Unlock)
Ok so I've reset my password and have waited OVER 72 hours to log back in and it's still telling me to wait...what's the deal?
Will factory resetting my newly unlocked phone kill the unlock code and relock it? Reason that I want to do a factory reset is because my phone is getting really laggy and slow.
My sister-in-law just got a new S7 from Verizon about a month ago. She setup the thumbprint and had some issues and apparently verizon were the ones who had set up her gmail account so she couldn't remember the password. Next thing you know, she's tried 15 times and her phone factory reset. Swell. But she still couldn't remember the password so she managed to actually reset it. Uh oh - now - if my reading is correct, there is a 72 hour lock on the phone since the password was reset.
So, I figured I try the method from rootjunky. Doesn't seem to work - although I checked in the recovery mode screen and it says she's on PG5. Should the rootjunky method work on this version?
Or is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version of 6.01 on this phone and then use the rootjunky method? Or is there something that will prevent me from flashing back to PE1 or so?
I know we could wait the 3 days out but she's visiting from out of town and not having her phone is killing her.
Any help/guidance/links are greatly appreciated.
Well...turns out this method works perfectly!! Security patch level 9/2016 - Bypass google account for all SAMSUNG Devices
Hi,
I made hard reset and I forgot the account of gmail i used initially. Any luck to by pass factory reset protection. Nothing from the internet working for Nougat ;(
I Have H990 DS model.

I bought a Galaxy S7 Edge off of ebay when I boot it up and try and log in to my Google account it says I need to log in with the previous email??? Is there anyway I can fix this issue? Why is this happening?

I factory reset and then I even Installed SM-935U and it still said it...
Don't make sense, should be wiped clean, Is your phone number registering?
You've triggered factory reset protection. Use that search at the top of the page and you'll find the answer how to bypass it here on xda.
That could be it
