Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910F and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
(phone is never locked, bought from Cosmote Romania, now Telekom Romania)
Thanks.
Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated - [ SOLVED ]
Hi guys,
I've succesfully deactivated the Samsung Reactivation Lock on my Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F - Android Lollipop 5.1.1. !!!
I'll tell you in detail how I did it. After 5 hours of data mining and documenting myself, I've gathered all the necessary data to do it.
Statement: On Samsung Note 4 with Lollipop 5.1.1, the Samsung Reactivation Lock cannot be deactivated!
In order to do that you need to downgrade it to KitKat 4.4.4. (thanks to brayhanrd for coming up with this downgrade-first idea in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/reactivation-lock-root-custom-rom-t3097964#post60511431
It can be done following these simple steps:
1) Downgrade the Samsung Note 4 software version from Lollipop 5.1.1 to KitKat 4.4.4 - using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone which can be downloaded from www.sammobile.com.
(Obs: if it was purchased from Verizon then THAT's the version you need to get it. I'm telling you this to avoid a lot of downgrade failures because of mismatch files and Odin writing errors, believe me, I read a lot about it today! )
- Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat instructions and all the necesarry files to do it (e.g. Odin) can be found here: http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-note-4-how-to-downgrade-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (thanks to Doug for documenting this )
If downgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/S9ONzxqPvaG
2) A work around to be able to turn off (deactivate) the Samsung Reactivation Lock can be found on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23TdbqJehA
- Long story short, the video emphasize what you need to do to get into the phone's Samsung Account, trick the already locked account and re-register yourself with a new (yet existing) Samsung account, which later on, will be seen by Samsung as the phone's default account, thus allowing yourself to register with it. What this guy's doing, basically is using the Text to Speech Samsung update to get logged in to the Samsung Galaxy Apps with this new Samsung account he created (or already had). From there, he gets back to the first phone setup steps and use this Samsung account which will be recognized by Samsung Reactivation Lock as being the default account (because he already signed-in with it into the Samsung Galaxy Apps) and voila, passed the protection.
3) Turn off the Samsung Reactivation Lock: After you tricked the Samsung Lock screen and passed over it reaching the classic, well known home screen, go to -> Settings -> Security -> and find the "Reactivation Lock" option and UNCHECK it! It will ask again for your Samsung account password, insert it and - ONLY THEN - you will have turned off the Samsung Reactivation Lock.
4) Upgrade back to Lollipop 5.1.1: same instructions here, first, upgrade only with stock image made specifically for your Note 4 version, to ba taken from www.sammobile.com or any other respectable place.
If upgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/U0BgITnrMmzi
Voila! you have a fully functional Note 4 phone again!
I hope this post will help you spare those 5 hours I used for reseaching these things!

Not possible to downgrade 5.1.1 to 4.4.4
Funny you say you downgraded from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 because everywhere I've read the consensus is the new bootloader makes this impossible.
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/downgrading-5-1-1-t3206848/post62923032
"If you upgraded your boot loader past OB7 (OE1, OF5 or OG5) You can no longer downgrade."
I tried your intructions anyway with the proper stock rom for my SM-N910P with 5.1.1 (OG5) and no dice. Odin failed right away.
Thanks anyway!

Let me help you further because IT IS POSSIBLE. I've done it! Are you sure you read my thread correctly where I've stated that:
...using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone
Click to expand...

You need to download a stock version of 4.4.4. specifically made for your phone version, model and mobile operator.
maybe for the sm-n910f but not the sm-n910p
I greatly appreciated your response, I spent almost the entire day yesterday working on this with no success.
Just so you know, I did in fact download the stock rom made specifically for my sm-910p, here:
http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/
I'm on N910PVPU4COG5 now which is Lolipop 5.1.1 now.
I tried downgrading to N910PVPU1ANK2 Kitkat 4.4.4 and no go.
That is definitely the stock firmware for my device.
I did a factory reset & wiped cache first, then tried flashing with odin and after a successful md5 check it failed.
Not sure but maybe because you had the international version the bootloader is different?
But again, I'm sure it didn't work at that seems to be the consensus everywhere else too. that once you go above OB7 there's no going back on the N910P.

I would suggest to not give up just yet.
Verify the following:
a) From the page you gave me http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/ - I know it sais there It cannot be done, just ignore that - did you installed the Drivers on your computer before you plugged in your phone?
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
Try Try Try Again...
Thanks for your advice. I would like to downgrade and so haven't given up just yet; you gave me hope (even a shot in the dark)!

A: Yes, I have installed the drivers on my computer and successfully flashed with odin before and my com port is detected, everything is working on that end. However, I read today someone said they could only use odin 3.10 to flash without it failing so I will try that too.
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
A: No, I'm going to try the older version of KitKat 4.4.4 next, N910PVPU1ANIE
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
A: OK, I will try this and report back.

Samsung Reactivation Bypass Alternative
Hi all,
This is my first posting and reply to a thread. Hope all is doing well.
After many many many attempts to either bypass or deactivate Knox's reactivation lock.. I was finally successful. I"m sure you can imagine how i was jumping up and down..
Any who, here's how i did it:
What you need:
1- An OTG Cable
2- A USB flash drive
3- Samsung Google bypass
First thing I did was factory reset my Verizon Note 4 from the recovery mode.
If you have another android phone available, that would be useful. Take the OTG cable plus it into the extra android phone and plug in your USB flash drive. It will either pop up or ask you to reformat the drive. You want to make sure that the USB flash drive is compatible with android devices. If you don't have an extra phone, reformat your USB flash drive using CMD (format Fat32.)
After that's completed, plug your flash drive into your laptop/desktop and drag the file you downloaded (Samsung google bypass) to your flash drive.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM!
Power on your android phone, after it turns on, plug your OTG cable into your phone and attach your USB flash drive. Wait a few seconds so your phone can recognize the new hardware. A folder from the flash drive should pop. Now run the Samsung Google Bypass file. This will take you to the settings on the phone. Connect to your WiFi.
Click on the Security tab and check "Unknown Sources" and then click ok.
In the same tab> Click on where is says "Go to website". That will open a browser. If for any reason you don't have that option in that tab, in the settings options, click on "Accounts" and add your gmail account to the phone. Go back to the settings options and click on your Google account. We need to get this to the browser.
After clicking on your account, scroll down to where is says "Smart Lock for passwords", go ahead an open that up.
You will see "Google Account" - Click on it. That should take you to a browser.
(If for any reason with those option don't take you to a browser, search the settings section to find a way. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY)
Now we are almost done!
Download Aptoide> It will ask you all the prompts to install> after its done, click on open.
Download Knox> it will ask you to upgrade> go ahead and upgrade it> after thats done, open up the knox app and create a new account. This will now save to your phone.
You can unplug the OTG cable and restart your phone. But before doing so, make sure that account is was successfully created.
You will go back to set up wizard. Go ahead and set up your phone. You should not have any problems now.
Hope this works for you as it did for me.
Thanks for reading

Forgot to mention, when you download the Samsung Google bypass, make sure its a APK and if its in a rar file, unzip it.

sm-n910p blocked
Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910p and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 5.1.1. to 6.0.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
Note 4 (N910C)
MY phone n910c is running to 6.0.1 Android Version.But i want to costomized Rom to install it.No Recovery is installed because it binary blocked by Reactivation Lock.How is it possible to Turn it off. I tried best but no problem solved.
Help me out to turn off reactivation lock.
Yo, so glad I found this thread. 4.4.4 saved my note 4
Hi, I'm a total noob on this but I don't know where to start to looking for an answer.
My girlfriend went on vacation (from Chile) to the united states, her mother gave her a cell phone (her cell phone at that moment) an almost new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935P) from the Sprint Network.
Before returning to Chile the cell phone was unlocked (or so they said at Spring), so here in Chile she put her local carrier SIM but the cell phone never recognized the Sim Card.
So she hard reset the cell phone. Everything went well until he had to enter the original Gmail account for the cell phone. Her mother did not remember the password so after som trial and error, they manged to reset the Google Account. But now when I try to enter de Gmail and password give me this error: Unable to sign in device due to a recent password change. try again in 24 hours, I have waited more than 24 hours and still can't activate the account.
The cell phone is still showing at her known devices in her mother's Gmail account, and the password is correct but I can't by pass the Gmail Activation, I was reading that I can downgrade to a firmware that allowed me to by pass the Samsung FRP but I don't know wich firmware I can use.
Can someone plase guide me how can I activate this cell phone.
Thank you!
edit: You were right I apologize.
If you want to get your password then whoever knows the best information will need to tell google over the phone what that information was when initially set up...birthdays, time of creation,etc-when they ask and %100 will ask. If she/you don't know it..you may never get it back... but calling their --> Customer Support <-- is your best option.
For s7 edge Android 7.0
So I found a way to bypass Google frp on Android 7.0 for the s7 edge and couple other model, it's an old way but modified. First enter into the Google account login screen where it says verify your account. All you do is simply over load it with characters. Tyler a bunch misc letters and number until you have a long good string then begine select all copy paste do this until your phone seem like it going to freeze up. I did it until it took about 2-5 mins to go through. Doing this will send you to a screen says error something went wrong. Hit enternor continue and if you notice this time when it goes back to verify your account the screen should have a black background at the top where's your notifacatioons are . Repeat 2-3-4 times overloading it and getting the error message I'm not sure exactly how many time think it suffers a on phone and Android build I just know once isn't enough to do it so do it a fewbtime it'll take awhile to get the first error but after that you should have the character line copies and ready to paste. After a couple time hit back arrow on your phone clear to where it ask to select language or start screen and emergency call if done correctly it should now give you the accessibility menu also enter into the accessibility option and modify your set up. Mess with stuff a little be careful with setting up universal switches as you can really mess yourself up. At some point in time you should be able to get your notification menu to drop down and open. When this happens hit the little setting menu button long click it and it should shortcut you to system settings. Bypassing for temporarily. Set up your setting and movie your app permissions as much as possible. Now the trick is getting my Knox downloaded open and set up on your phone. Once you do this make sure you click on both my Knox and regular device administration for know to have some control and make sure you say yes for Knox to be able to reset wipe your phone . After device administration is set and that all done go to your pc or another phone tablet whatever and log into know online and you hold re your phone connected on it white a button that says wipe this phone. Click it make sure the phone has Wi-Fi or service connected and wait for phone to wipe this should reset frp and Google verification back to being a new phone. There ya go merry Christmas

Fцck no it ain't legit. Dude probably got baked & strung up that nonsense to laugh at folks who tried it. You could string up a petrabyte worth of miscellaneous characters so long that your phone would be permanently frozen... & you wouldn't get an error message to pop up, let alone one that would change your notification bar background color or whatever else he said

S7 & S7 Edge FRP [SOLVED]
Here's the real S7 & S7 Edge FRP bypass method..
Nougat 7.0+ will NOT work; You NEED to downgrade to Marshmallow. Links to Stock Firmware & FRP Removal files posted at the bottom.
- Download & extract the .zip file from my Google Drive below to your PC, then extract + run Odin
- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)
- Once the device reboots to the Welcome page, run the Qualcomm.bat file (reboots to Download Mode & removes FRP Lock)
- Back in Download Mode, flash the [MM] Stock ROM (CSC_HOME keeps user data; CSC wipes user data)
You've now successfully kicked FRP's ass from the device. Congrats.
NOTICE:
- You will be able to upgrade back to Nougat 7.0 following successful FRP Removal
- I INTENTIONALLY LEFT A FEW STEPS OUT. It took me a solid week to finally crack this migraine of a phone. You WILL have to figure some parts out on your own just like I did. If you cant, why are you even here?

Flashing the boot image tar file causes bootloop. I believe that's also the eng boot file? For root? How do you solve bootloop? Also what marshmallow were you on before doing this?

I have not been able to fix it yet, it wasn't on MM it was Nougat.
You know another boot file I can use?

There is Nougat boot files. Check xda here for Qualcomm s7 root. There's a boot file you need to flash before doing adb root.bat..this enables adb, But this also causes bootloop.

I've been reading a lot a topics here at XDA and I'm overly confused about which method or boot file to use.
I think this could be the one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
What do you think? although it is for another is for G935T no G935P
Thank you

Just downgrade to marshmallow.. Try PJ2.. I used that. Flash the boot file provided, run Qualcomm.bat via adb.. Then flash again 6.0.1... If phone reboot after flash boot file, you'll have to be very fast, after phone boot to welcome screen, before it reboots, keep running the Qualcomm.bat till u see adb recognize device. It will say error. About phone storage. Just ignore. It has been unlocked
Starting to see how much of a headache this sh¡t was is? Took me a solid week to crack it.
Bravo @jazzdglass Props on figuring it out

Here's the real S7 & S7 Edge FRP bypass method..
Nougat 7.0+ will NOT work; You NEED to downgrade to Marshmallow. Links to Stock Firmware & FRP Removal files posted at the bottom.
- Download & extract the .zip file from my Google Drive below to your PC, then extract + run Odin
- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)
- Once the device reboots to the Welcome page, run the Qualcomm.bat file (reboots to Download Mode & removes FRP Lock)
- Back in Download Mode, flash the [MM] Stock ROM (CSC_HOME keeps user data; CSC wipes user data)
You've now successfully kicked FRP's ass from the device. Congrats.

You sir are a genius. I tip my hat to you.... The only method out of....pretty much the entire internet...that actually works. To all other modders, if you follow the instructions carefully, this will work. Thank again man.:good::good::good:
I have a G935V that is stuck with FRP. I reset my password today and then happened to try to flash a new ROM (didnt know about FRP at the time).
Been trying this all day, but cant get the S7 & S7 Edge QUALCOMM.bat to run on the phone... a flashed back to MM and the Boot.rar pushes fine, but when the phone gets to the welcome screen its like my computer doesn't recognize the phone is connected. Any ideas?
This worked great on my VZW s7 (just had to get the right VZW firmware)...
@KjK89, you have to run the .bat file before the welcome screen. I basically kept running it over and over during boot and it took before th welcome screen.
Check my post about SAMSUNG S7 Nougat 7.0 frp remove
Thanks So much, the only thing that actually worked!

Anybody looking for a fix for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Factory Reset Protection Bypass needs to follow these steps and you'll get past this pesky protection.
The only step that wasn't clear was this:
- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)
On Odin you have to choose the boot.tar file corresponding to your model number. This is done by selecting the BL button and only that one then in Odin click Start. This might be clear for veterans to flashing phones with new firmwares but it wasn't clear for me, being the n00b that I am. Thanks again. This worked great!
(Soft-)Bricked S7 Edge/G935F with FRP lock & DRK error, but no root/OEM unlock/ADB
Hello guys,
I bought a, what I thought to be, soft bricked S7 Edge (G935F) from the bay. It was listed as having sw issues, so I thought I could easily fix the issue myself. Stupid me, this one really isn't easy to fix. I've tried a lot of different hints that I found meandering around the web, but none of them have proofed working so far. I would appreciate some help because I don't seem to be making any progress.
When I got the phone, it would boot directly into Android Recovery with a dm-verity error on the bottom.
Below is what I have tried already:
1 . First I did the obvious, factory reset and wipe partition. No change.
2. Downloaded the latest firmware with updato (SM-G935F Region DBT) and flashed with Odin. It then booted into a screen with a hazard sign and a DRK error (Device does not have DRK, please install DRK first. press any button). Then returned to Android Recovery with variations of the DRK and dm-verity error messages
3. I flashed the same firmware again. This time the phone booted up to a Samsung error that said to use SmartSwitch's Emergency recovery. I tried but it asks for a recovery code and I don't have one.
4. I used an older version of SmartSwitch which gave me the initialization option where you need to input the device model and SN - SmartSwitch decided not to cooperate and noted that the S7 edge does not support initialization
5. I tried to flash CF-autoroot but it gave an error in Odin and failed because it is "Blocked by FRP Lock". I can't boot normally into android. Any workaround?
6. I used a dm-verity workaround file (G935FXXU1DQC4_FIX_DRK_dm-verity.tar) to actually get the phone booted up- but then it asks for the account information to do away with the FRP lock. And the former owner does not want to give me his login information. In addition, none of the workarounds (bluetooth, modem terminal prompts, etc.) did work.
7. Flashed oldest Android version I could find for the G935F - 5.1.1 - this gave me a prompt right after reboot that looks like the password request for encrypting memory. default_password and variations did not work. I am still stuck with...
No Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-verity error...
failed code : 0x02
...in the recovery
8. I flashed the combination file and was able to boot into Factory Binary and used the IMEI recovery option which is supposed to fix also the DRK issue. No luck.
So, this is where I am right now. If anyone out there still has sparks of hope, I would be delighted to hear about them.
Thanks much in advance!
Conversion software and ADB Shell
Small update - I booted into factory mode again using the conversion firmware. This way, I could connect to the device via ADB and use ADB shell. There is a guide (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516) which guides through IMEI recovery using the conversion software and factory mode - that is supposed to also help with DRK issues. Did not work for me.
Another great guide (here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...fix-drk-dm-verity-factory-csc-serial-t3422965) used ADB shell to push and repair the DRK with some additional files. Since the device is not rooted, I did not get very far, either.
So, no progress whatsoever.
In summary, I can get the device booted up into factory mode using the conversion firmware, or, by using the dm-verity tweaked firmware, I can end up in the Google Account locked part of the initial start-up settings.
Any ideas?
Have you looked at the process to completely re-do a phone stuck in the Google auth log-in? At least that is how I understand where you are stuck. I have a phone arriving soon that I will need to re-flash to get out of that, via Odin.

Hi JeffDC,
Thanks a lot for the reply. How would this process look like? I have flashed the phone with all sorts of variations of Android L, M and N - plus the combination fw and the one with the dm-verity/DRK workaround which at least got the phone booted up. But then I am stuck at the google auth request.
I cannot flash anything custom since the FRP lock is on.
Hence, if there is any other way to re-do the phone as you are saying, I would live to hear about it.

Hi JeffDC,
Thanks a lot for the links.
Link #1: I can flash the file #1 and get the device visible for ADB by using the combination FW before starting the steps. Unfortunately, step #2 does not work due to lack of permissions. I guess because of missing root.
Links #2 and #3: These are the guides I was already referencing in my post #2 - they both do not work due to, I guess, missing root.
Smart Switch initialization
Update: I got smart switch to do the update and initialization for the device. Workaround was to use a different real serial number than the one of the actual device (I can only assume that it has got to do with country presets).
Cool stuff, all went smooth - but, still the same result. The device ends up in recovery showing the dm-verity error (failed code : 0x02) with FRP lock on and no root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-factory-reset-protect-unlock-t3414590/page11
Interesting read, particularly ignoring the trojan squabbling.
Uses script and setup files to get around FRP.
I suggest you to re-try flashing with Odin the Stock Marshmallow Firmware. Then Boot Into Stock Recovery do a Full Wipe.

Thanks for the recommendation. Done that (MM downgrade and full wipe) - same result, still DRK error only booting to recovery.

Hi JEffDC, thanks for the follow-up hints. Very interesting read and approach. As commented in the other thread, I think the package download link in the opening post is dead. I am also curious to see 2 more complexities in action:
1. Will this work on a G935F variant (Exynos vs Snapdragon)?
2. The only way for me to get to the Google Account prompt is by using the modded dm-verity version mentioned in my first post - but I am not sure I can get ADB access enabled simultaneously
Good luck.

Hey sathiere,
Came across this. It apparently removes the FRP before the system can start it up! Let me know what you think. I'm going to try it on a locked Edge next week or two. Seems to go right after the FRP protection file.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/how-to-bypass-frp-galaxy-s7-possibly-6-t3622126
and the download link works.

Yes, I am hoping for a response to my post there, near the end, clarifying. I think I get the method, and it's really pretty straight forward, really.
sathiere, I think basically what it does is provide two connections to the phone at the same time, one via Odin, and the other via direct ADB.
Step one is to flash a Universal boot loader, which is unlocked or can be unlocked via ADB. Now with the locked boot loader out of the way, on to getting rid of FRP.
Step two is run the. bat file which deletes the Persistence file, which is the Google encrypted setup file/FRP file. BOOM, FRP gone.
Then either stay on the Universal bootloader, or go back and flash the OEM.
Brilliant!
I have the same problem with a sm930f binary 2 boot loader. Stock Rom doesn't start and frp lock. How you fix it ? Thank you
Try this method

hello,
i managed to get the phone back to get in download mode. stock everything, no root whatsoever. my goal is to root my phone and i have experience doing so but i guess i was just unlucky this time.
i tried searching allover the internet for a fix, searching xda etc.
first off: my device is running oreo 8.0 and it's type is G950FX.
I want to downgrade to 7.0 because FRP lock is on, i did turn on oem lock before starting however i am unable to log in to my old google account connected to my phone.
when i try to flash any bootloader i get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1. i tried almost any trick in the book like downloading 7.0 from sammobile, flashing using odin.
the things i run into when flashing are:
1.can't flash the bootloader, probably because of frp lock.
2. when i don't flash the bootloader for 7.0 i get dm-verity error 0x2.
3. when i only flash 8.0 oreo pda & csc and then flash 7.0 pda on top i do get to boot but i get encryption interrupted error.
4. i am able to boot in 8.0 but can't get past the frp.
i'm out of answers, i really hope anyone can help me out of this situation as i want to use my phone.
Help is much appreciated!
edit: i tried flashing multiple versions of android 7.0 but i keep getting sw rev check fail bootloader device 2 binary 1
i basicly want to do this, a downgrade: https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...s8-plus/878062-how-downgrade-oreo-nougat.html
the problem is i didn't sign out of google or samsung accounts before resetting to factory
You can't. You have a new bootloader v2.
A simple search gives you this answer, if you have u2 and CRED bootloader installed you are stuck. No way to go back anymore.
i'm on u2 and CRED bootloader. i did search for this indeed but i didn't want to give up.
do you think there will be ever be a way to get back into my phone again?
If you have FRP lock good luck. I haven't seen a way yet.
I know it's been 5 months and you've probably either gotten rid of the phone or it's sitting in a dusty bin somewhere, but have you tried Galaxy Reaper? It's a pretty legit FRP bypass tool.
Edit: Scratch that. It's apparently been patched since I last knew it to work. Just wanted to double check, and sure enough..
Hello everybody!
I've been trying to get this tablet going again for 3 days now. I've read many posts, watched lots of youtube videos, tried everything I could find, but to no avail.
This T580 was updated by the owner (a cousin) who forget their google account and tried on his own to do a facory reset & cache wipe in recovery mode. Of course, he's now blocked at the google account when booting, so he handed me the tablet & asked me to look into it. I thought I'd just reflash & do a clean install. Wow, was I wrong !
Flashing with ODIN just flat fails a every attempt, FRP is on & won't allow it. Of course, ADB is off as well as USB debugging. I therfore pulled out my Z3X box, thinking I'd be able to go further. Ha !
If I try to flash, or even if I just ask to read PIT, I get an error message on the PIT read and the tab reboots, systematically.
So, at the moment I'm stuck. Cannot flash a boot.img from any file, can't event read PIT. I'm at a loss here, being that I'm no droid guru.
Can someoneplease point me in the right direction to finally be able to read PIT so I can flash anything / eventually downgrade to do FRP workaround, or at least get ADB running so I can do a FRP reset via Z3X & samsung tool pro ?
thank you for any help.
