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

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?
Hello,
I just applied the latest update C432B185 on a 8 pro honor; it remains blocked at restart. Another user reports an identical problem on the FRANDROID site.
Do not apply this update because the problem is blocking; you will no longer be able to use your honor 8 pro.
Solution on hold.
Thank you
I have the exact same problem. I started the update, and put it back in my pocket. I grabbed my phone after a few minutes and blindly touched the fingerprint sensor and pressed where normally the home button is. Instead, I catched a glimpse of a black screen, a triangle and a button. The button was at almost the same spot as where the home button normally is, so I clicked it and my phone restarted. After that, the only thing my phone does right now is show the white Honor logo with a lightblue blackground.
I already tried everything that can be done, I think.
Restarted the phone 20 times, did a 'user reset', cleared the cache 20 times and did a lot of factory resets (sometimes stuck at 99%).
Nothing made my phone work again. I also tried to use eRecovery to 'Download latest version and recovery' but that only resulted in 'Getting package info failed'.
If someone has any clue to what can be done to revive the Honor 8 Pro again (or to see some kind of logs to view what's going on), please... help! :crying:
The topic on Frandroid that Pascal was talking about: forum.frandroid.com/topic/261525-mise-%C3%A0-jour-qui-plante-le-smartphone
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with my honor 8 pro.
I can't use it anymore, the user reset is staying 99%
If someone has a solution...
Also had the update, tried everything, wanted to flash other rom but i haven't got my product ID to unlock the bootloader.
Worst part of all, there is no care centre in The Netherlands...
so what im suppose to do? not sure at all, eRecovery fails,
using the dload method fails.
nothing seem to work atm...
Thank you for sharing this. It's not released in India yet seems but disabled the auto download update over wifi feature just in case.
Also, I can't connect to the phone with ADB or fastboot. /adb reboot recovery returns error: device unauthorized. This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set and ./fastboot getvar all returns FAILED (remote: Command not allowed). HiSuite (never tried before) can't find my phone on OSX and crashes after 5 minutes.
No root, no unlocked bootloader. Also shows FRP is locked.
Same here (france) Factory reset doesn't work, dload method doesn't either and the WIFI update doesn't find anything so I'm stuck with no phone for the moment :'(
Same here (Poland). Phone is bricked, second visit in service within 2 months :/
Oh ,god, i was about to let people know that a new update b185 had just come up until i see this post...I immediatly stopped the downloading process of this Update, so bad news for the ones who already applied the update and who got stuck now...
There might be an ultimate solution for bricked phone by using the DC Phoenix unlock software method...
Same Problem with the Honor 8Pro update
Hi,
Same problem in the Netherlands, Brabant.
Just downloaded the update for the Honor 8Pro.
Tried everything, also the eRecovery, Same problem with the package Failure.
Also E-mailed to HiHonor for an sollution, nothing so far.
Somebody got any tip? Can miss my phone for work..
Greeting from Oss, The Netherlands.
Same problem
Same problem here in The Netherlands. Literally nothing works. Never even rooted this device or anything like that. Also, what is this "download and recovery" in eRecovery even for if nothing downloads? I am very disappointed in this. Have no idea what I should be doing while normally I find a way to work around such problems.

Zelfde probleem hier en nu een onbruikbare telefoon...
Nog geen half jaar oud!
Ik heb net Honor gemaild .. even afwachten tot morgen..
Sterkte alvast!
Thank you for the warning!
flash a stock rom by -=MoRpH=-.
these are factory firmwares and reset your device back to full stock, yes, even with locked bootloader!

I have explicitly chosen to not root or otherwise mod my phone just yet. Does this void your warranty? Right now, I can send it back to the supplier and they will fix it. Of course if something else is faster (supplier says max. 3 weeks) then I am happy to try, if it does not void my warranty.
EDIT: and also, how can I see which version I need? I don't know how for sure which version I have, and of course I can't get into the UI anymore. As I posted before, ADB and Fastboot don't give me any info.

Thank you.
I have made use of many Huawei phones in recent years (Mate 7, Mate 9, P8 Lite, P9 Lite) and Honor 8 Pro. I quickly realized that this update was blocking; it was common sense to inform users of the Honor 8 Pro in order to limit the number of service returns, unnecessary time wastage, etc.
This is our precious ...
Welcome
Here in Holland this morning the same problem.
Thanks for the Info. No update notice for my phone (in Germany). Hopefully Huawei/Honor will have stopped the update rolling out. Jeez, don't these updates get tested before they're released?
You can use Firmware Finder for PC to send an update for installation via erecovery with changing your routers DNS.
Erecovery is used in customer services to install manually sent updates only. That's why it can't find anything without sending an update to your device.
