Can someone please help me I’ve spent the last three days trying to bypass FRP lock on the Samsung S6 plus for my daughter because she got scammed and got a phone that was in a lock on craigslist I have tried every and all forms where I seem to get stuck each time is downloading the driver for Samsung USB driver it downloads from all the sites but none of them work or show up in my device manager so all the methods are impossible at that point what is it that I’m doing wrong.
Hi all. So I have a frustrating issue with my phone after having updated to the last official firmware from the Asus website. I noticed that the phone operation was very slow, so I decided to do a factory reset from recovery. Everything went well until I am somehow locked out of my phone via FRP. The weirdest thing is that instead of asking for google credentials, it's asking for a pattern, which I am correctly inputting but it refuses to recognize it. So now I'm stuck with a locked out phone. Am I SOL at this point or is there a way to get past this other than taking it to a service center?
Things I've tried that haven't worked:
1. tried to erase user config in fastboot (returned error FAILED)
2. wiped all data in recovery
3. tried to flash to an older version via asus flashtool but didn't work as the device isn't recognized
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok i had the exact problem the latest patch for the device , i manually updated to oreo 8.1, has some bug that sometimes it doesnt recognise pin or pattern after some reboots it recognized it but it's not persistent as it stopped working.
I was able to fix it by flashing an older version with sp flashtool. You need to download and properly install SPFlashtool and everything it needs then you have to search for an spflashable rom that it's compatible with the one you have.
I didn't realize these tablets had a lock out feature where you would need the previous user to login first before you can login with your Google account. I'm trying to talk to the previous user who was logged in (actually 2 owners before me, device had broken screen that I fixed) but they aren't responding. So how can I unlock this and bypass this stupid lock out feature? I've been trying to follow the guides here to unlock the bootloader with no luck. I can no longer "enable usb debugging" because I'm locked out of Android. I can access recovery and fastboot fine. Any help??
Nevermind I figured out how to bypass the Factory Reset Protection!! For anyone wondering, just search youtube for how to bypass it for whatever android version you have
Hi All,
I'm new to this as I'm not an Android developer but a good Android user. Requesting moderator to update anything required.
I've Xiaomi mi A1 and it was working for the last 3 years. Last Sunday, it just got hanged while kids were playing with it(maybe multiple apps/videos/some ad clicked) and it got hanged.
I restarted and it stuck on "Android One" screen till now even after multiple attempts.
What I tried:
1. I tried to wipe/factory reset from the Android recovery option(power off + volume up) then it stuck there saying "Formatting data" and I've restarted it to come back to Android One screen after hours.
2. I tried using MiFlash tool and it continues throwing the error "remote device is locked. cannot erase".
Then I got to know bootloader must be unlocked. and for that:
1. I tried fast boot oem unlock but it just says OK and device reboots. When I check status back, it's again locked .
2.I tried to unlock it using MiFlashUnlock tool but it says not able to find account details as I may have logged in once but probably I may not have used Xiaomi as cloud instead I prefer Google cloud.
You can assume I'v already searched possibly all threads on the internet and added here all possible information.

Is there anyone on the platform who knows on this issue?
Or it's just a platform of Ads?
oooooof, sounds like a harsh brick from some sort of malware downloaded into the device or your kids diddled with some kernel settings somehow
is your device running on qualcomm snapdragon? i have the fix for it in this site
but first try the update option on the recovery, might fix something

found some fix on a russian website, gonna translate it:
im gonna make a warning there off-script of the russian website, this is NOT guaranteed to work. if it doesnt, send it off for repairs.
what do you need to do this:
1 - fully charge the phone
2 - a working usb cable
3 - a computer with wifi on it (i can tell you have it since you likely posted it on the computer)
4 -you should have Mi flash pro
5 - a recovery image on chinese (WARNING: 1.9 GB, BE PATIENT)
6 - actually working braincells and hands ( you guaranteedly have em)
THE STEPS:
1 - Load in mi flash pro and register in it under your name (not always under your name)
2 - press recovery
3 - you should see a lightning bolt icon along with the IMEI of your device
4 - type in the path of the firmware
even if your device shows your system has been destroyed you can still boot into recovery.
5 - in your device boot into recovery
6 - you see connect with mi assistant? choose that option and confirm it
your device should direct you to connect the usb from your computer to your device
7 - After you setup everything you should see your device, if not, press refresh device, then you should see the flash button, press it
8 - and there begins the magic - wait 5-10 mins for the firmware to initialise, DO NOT DISCONNECT THE USB FROM YOUR DEVICE AT THIS POINT, IF YOU DO, YOU WILL SCREW IT UP AND HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!
if you dont screw up and your device actually boots congratualtions! the power of xi jing ping has restored your phone to normal with a small drawback - its all in chinese
worry not, it doesnt end here:
9 - Unlock the bootloader AKA Unlock OEM (This is important, because otherwise you will brick yourself again and will have to do it all over again)
10 - boot your device into fast boot and flash the global firmware onto your device (the global firmware can be found on the same xiaomiui website you got the chinese firmware from)
i hope this lengthy guide helps

crud, i forgot the critical part:
it doesnt boot you to the average xiaomi screen, its the A1 model
at this point you need to use the ADB to flash the chinese firmware and unlock the bootloader on the chinese firmware, then flash the global one
though you can still use the same method i typed above
How's the progress so far?

Hi i dont have that kind of a problem!
my problem is when i try to do oem unlock it says error 0x1002 and idk what to do (i have same phone btw) i tried anything but nothing works!
Hey!
In the company that I work an ex-collaborator left the Samsung Galaxy A20e he was using professionally. During the time he used it, he probably activated FRP, now we want to unlock the phone to give to another collaborator. I've tried to do factory reset at first when I didn't know about FRP.
Now I'm seeing some tutorials that says that we can remove the FRP lock, but I need USB debugging and I can't access the system to activate it.
Is there something I can do?
Same problem as here:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.
