Hi all.
First thing you will need to do is to delete your setup settings, just open up your 'Settings | Applications' tab and delete the data for 'Google Apps'. Now you will be prompted to setup your account for the phone once again but instead of logging with your regular account you will need to make a new one, when the phone has done it's magic (pun inteded) just fire up the market application, everything there?
Now you can delete your new settings and once again you will be prompted to enter your account but now you can use your regular account and hopefully your market will work as it should, mine did.

sadly that did not work for me
Ok, please try this. Do a wipe and flash to another rom (normal cupcake or donut), go into Market and make sure everything is there (might take some time for it to sync). Do a wipe again and flash the Sense rom.
Once the phone boots up, DO NOT log into Google Account using wifi. Skip the initial intro part and go key in your APN settings. Then launch Market and sign into Google from there.
It worked for me and fingers crossed that it will go smoothly from here.
Everytime I hard reset my phone, my applications redownload on their own. I do not want this. I uncheck the back up my data option under privacy and it still happens. How can I stop this?
Uncheck under privacy, force a sync, and try again.
If that doesnt work, then when you hard reset and after you do the INITIAL login to your account, you should see an option that says "backup my apps" or whatever........uncheck that. It wont download them but I'm not sure if you will see all of your apps in the market list.

I have done both of those and still. I get the same results. I am pretty sure I have tried to do this every way possible.
Skip your gmail account log in until you turn off mobile data, then turn off sync and uncheck it in privacy setting then go log in. See if that works
Get a new gmail account or simply don't log in

I skipped the setup process then went in and did it, that seemed to work. Thanks guys
Another way is when you click set up Google account and are at the page where you type in your email and password just press the menu button and hit disable restore.

I decided I wanted to turn off the auto-restore as I'm going to be using titanium backup from now on and I came around the same problem as the OP. Every way I tried to leave it off, didn't work. I used all different ways of wiping, factory reset and such.
^^^that is THE ONLY way it seems to work. The only apps you will see in the market are the ones you purchased, and those will not download. Thanks for the tip

I am so surprised that I have never seen this. Thanks
Also it seems that if you skip the process, add your account and disable the auto-restore, and then you re-wipe and and still uncheck backup data, it will restore your apps again. So you have to skip everytime.
Hello I've had my s5 for about 8 months I just recently did a hard reset so like any other new cell it asks for a Google account and a Samsung account if you have one...
Well I put Google account and everything is OK.. By the time I punch in my details for the Samsung account it says processing failed. I know it's not my details because I have 1 other Samsung s5mini and has the same I'd and password.
It's basically a paperweight right now it won't let me get passes the 3rd screen (Samsung account loggin)
Please help
I am having the same problem as well. I bought my phone from someone else over a year ago so I am not sure if it wants their account or what. The crazy thing is that if I use an incorrect password it says invalid password, but when I enter the right one I get processing failed. Not sure what to do, can't Odin older firmware
Check youtube for "Bypass Galaxy S5 reactivation lock"
same thing here. when i use the right password says, processing failed. when i use wrong one, it says, wrong password
pain in the butt this thing.
Samsung account username/password (test - validation) this is easy to be performed by a computer logging at Samsung website.
Customer support of Samsung this is amazing, if you contact them.
In case that you do log-in normally in your Samsung account over the web, and when you do that from your phone this Fail, then something is heavily wrong, and also Samsung customer support them will hold the answers about that too.
Check Samsung Account app permission ... grant everything and try again
I spent the last 6 hours on this, but I'm finally up and running. Forgot that reset your pw and wait 24 hours BS. The problem is the older devices don't recognize the 2-factor authentication, which means you have to sneak in the backdoor and turn it on. No need to call 911 either - leave those lines open for real emergencies! Here's the step by step, (assuming I haven't forgotten anything).
1. On login page, select the microphone button. This will take you to keyboard options. Select "set hot keys" and type any text in the field.
2. Highlight the text and tap to select Google Assist. On the menu that pops up, hit the share icon and then Google Drive.
3. Okay, this is the part I'm blanking on, so good luck! Somehow from here, I was able to access an address bar. I suggest clicking around until something pops up.
4. Once you get to an address bar, type in "Quick Shortcut Maker" and install and open the app. This app creates shortcuts to various applications on your device.
5. In the app, select Applications and scroll to "Settings." Voila! You just snuck in the back door. Interestingly, I was able to access all kinds of applications this way - NOT VERY SECURE SAMSUNG!!
6. The irony of this next step will blow your mind. Head over to the "backup and reset" menu and select factory reset. I know, you're probably thinking, "this is how I got here in the first place." That's what makes this SO funny.
7. Before you can perform a factory reset, Samsung asks you to verify your pw. Go ahead and enter it again. You will magically end up behind the curtain where you are prompted to enable 2-FA on your phone. Yay! And now you are logged in.
8. Before restarting go to the "accounts" menu in settings and view and verify your profile info associated with the Samsung account. I went ahead and entered my phone number here just in case that mattered.
9. I did all of the steps above with the sim card out. It still didn't work at this point, but after reloading the sim card, I am back in business!!
Okay, so browsing the www I came across this article of a guy bypassing the FRP on his S7 edge... I was trying to find a working method for the T-MOBILE TAB E (sm-t377t) so I tried what the instructions said and FINALLY! I was able to get through... This should work on any model of samsung phones that have the FRP but since I cannot test all the other devices Samsung has created I can only vouch for the Tab E.
Here is the whole list of instructions for S7 edge.... My notes on what I did are after step 7 because step 8 didn't work for me.... But yeah I only had to get to step 7 to get past the lock. Keep this on the dl tho or Samsung is going to come out with a new update to block even this trick...... ENJOY
Steps to Bypass Factory Reset Protection on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge
Step 1. After factory resetting your device when you Reboot your device, you would see the Setup Wizard to login into the previously synced Google account.
Step 2. Select your Language and the press on Next. This will bring the screen for WIFI connection. Connect to a portable hotspot that can be quickly turned off. You may connect to your WIFI router but keep in mind you should have easy and quick access to turn it off as we will be required to turn off the WIFI/Internet access to the device.
Step 3. After connecting it to a WIFI router/hotspot, click Next. Now you will have to close/turn off the WIFI router/ hotspot connection as soon as you see the Software Update screen saying Checking for Updates.
Step 4. As you turn off the hotspot you will see couldn’t Sign In message. Now click Next, you will see the options for setting Date and Time. At this point turn back On the WIFI router or the hotspot connection.
Step 5. Now skip through all the screens until you reach the screen saying Google Services. Scroll down, and tap on the blue text saying Google Terms of Services. This will open a popup with the Terms and Conditions.
Step 6. Select some text in the popup by holding on the screen. After selecting the text, you should see some options like Copy , Share etc. Click on the Share button. This will open a menu which says Setup Wizard.
Step 7. Now hold on to the icon of Samsung Setup Wizard. This will open the Application info for the Samsung Setup Wizard. Tap on Data Usage > UPGRADE DATA SERVICE.
MY NOTES ^^^^That part didn't work for me, it still said I was locked out...-------->>>>>
This step did not work due to security reasons. I cleared cache, plugged in OEM cable, and scrolled down from notification bar and turned off the wifi again and then clicked on settings. (Not sure if OEM cable had any effect on the tablet but I was still able to access settings.) In the settings menu, not all the options were available but there was an option to add a user. Added a user, input name and hit next. Samsung login screen pops up, logged in with my samsung account, hit next, and continued to the new user page. At the new user page I clicked on settings, enabled USB debugging and Unknown Sources and attempted to do a factory reset from the Backup and Settings tab, however it was not available for the added user. I proceeded to switch from the new user account that I made to the original (OWNER) account that was there. I was allowed to switch and was asked to sign into Samsung again. Signed in and proceeded to home screen. From here I was able to reset everything from the device. It restarted and I was able to login as if it were a brand new device.
Step 8. This will open a menu asking you to chose the application to Open With. Select Chrome browser. Once Chrome browser opens skip through the process and then open Rootjunkysdl.com using the address bar.
Step 9. Once this website opens, tap on Apps and look for ‘com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk’. Download this application to your device .
Step 10. Now open Google.com on Chrome and search for Samsung App Store. Tap on the first link that appears in the search results, this should open the Samsung app store. Scroll down a little and tap on the icon saying Samsung Galaxy Apps. This should open the Galaxy apps application on your phone.
Step 11. Once you have Galaxy Apps application running tap on the More option at the top right corner of the screen and then tap on Sign In. Then Sign In using your Samsung account or create a new one if you don’t have one.
Step 12. Now search for the ‘file explorer” using the search bar and install any one of them. Once installed open the file explorer application.
Step 13. In the File explorer, open the Downloads folder and install the Quick Shortcut Maker application that you downloaded earlier. You may have to allow installation of applications from Unknown sources.
Step 14. Once the application is installed tap the Open button. In the application perform a search for Google Account Manager, you will see various result tap the one that says Type Email and Password and then hit the Try button.
Step 15. This would open the activity for typing the Password. Tap on the three dotted menu button at the top right corner of the screen and select Browser Sign-In.
Step 16. Sign In using any Google account you want to use and wait a few seconds. After you are Signed in Quick shortcut maker application will reappear. Now just keep tapping the back key until you reach the Google Services screen once again.
Step 17. Now press Next on the Google Services screen. Keep tapping Next until you see the screen saying Account added.
Step 18. Skip through all other screens and tap the Home button. If the home screen doesn’t appear for you then perform a Reboot.

I have the tmo, don't have a tmo sim, can get the frp deal up the point of dialing a number, but only 911. None of the options from there help. I did this method too, it tells me apps aren't installed or are blocked for this action.
Nice, but too bad any of those methods work anymore

unfortunately the online suggested method when using realterm isnt working for my unlocked s8, keep getting a NO CARRIER error when sending the commands. Im using Straight Talk so maybe thats an issue but I cant find anymore help on this subject and very frustrating that my $600 phone is a paperweight at the moment. Damnit, Im just not good with this stuff, lol.

---from this point, more pertains to my G360T1 running Android 5.1.1---
Step 9. Go to http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Apps/FRP
Step 10. Download and install 5.apk (Android_5_Google_Account_Manager.apk didn't work for me, but 5.apk did)
-If you have a different android version, make sure to use the right one~!
Step 11. Download and install com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk run it after install.
Make sure to hit the three dots in the upper right hand corner when the app opens, and do browser sign in.
Now sign in with your Google account...
Viola~! Back out of everything, and just go through startup like Normal~!
Now go to Settings, Backup & Reset, Factory Data Reset, Done~!
Hi
I recently sold my Samsung S7 Edge. Just before doing so I performed a factory reset on it. I couldnt find the option to do it through the normal settings (it wasn't in the backup and reset section, where online guides were saying it should be).
In the end I booted into recovery mode and factory reset it from there.
Now the new buyer has just contacted me to say that he can't login to the phone as it's asking for my login details, and can I give them to him and then quickly change my password, so he can login. Obviously I'm not going to do this!
But is it possible what he is saying is true and even though the phone has been factory reset it still needs my login details???
probably a scam or factory reset didn't work.
tell him to boot I to recovery and factory reset or use Odin to flash stock rom
I looked online and there's something called factory reset protection on android phones now. It stops someone stealing a phone and then factory resetting it and then using it. Basically I should of removed by Gmail account first before factory resetting it or failing that after I factory reset it logged in to the phone and then a new owner could have entered a new user account.
The buyer is being a real pain in the butt though. He keeps asking for my password, which I've told him I can't give him. He also only lives 20 mins from me and I keep suggesting we meet up and I'll sort it but he seems to think he has no time to do this!
Wow this website used to be the font of all knowledge but now it's deader than dead.
For anyone who does get in this situation, I spoke to Samsung tech help. And they told me I need to get the phone, login when prompted. Then go into the settings and delete my Google account, once done so factory reset the phone. Now the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) will be gone, so the buyer can input a new Google account.
Don't ever give your password to anyone. And yeah, you should've removed your G account before handing in the device.
However, as you said there is a solution, you can ask the buyer to follow these steps to bypass your Google account so he can login his:
https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/bypass-google-account-verification-factory-reset-protection/
After choosing the correct language please follow the next steps:
1. Connect the phone to a Wifi Network (preferably your Home network)
2. The next screen will ask you for the Google Account
3. Tap the text field in which the account should be inserted until the Keyboard comes up
4. Tap and hold the “@” character until a Settings menu pops up
5. Select Google Keyboard Settings
6. Tap on the 3 dots in the top part of the screen (or More depending on what Android OS you are running)
7. Select the Help&Feedback item and select any item in the list that will follow
8. Long press to select any text on this page and click on Websearch in the upper right corner
9. A search field will be shown (delete the text inside the search field)
10. Type Settings in the search field
11. Tap “About Phone” and tap 7 times on the Build Number to enable Developer Options
12. Return to the previous menu and open the Developer Option that just appeared
13. Allow OEM Unlocking and tap Back two times
14. Restart the device
15. Connect it to Wifi again
16. Notice how you won’t be prompted to log in the previous Google Account and instead the phone will ask you to ADD a new Google Account
