USB Debug works great
Possible to enable OEM Lock via ODIN or ADB ?
Everything is blocked by FRP Lock
######
Hi all,
Regarding s6 edge plus, I have a SM-G928I, is it possible to enable usb debugging without going into developer options ? A friend bought a second hand phone and its locked to an account unfortunately, and ODIN wont connect so ican root/reflash due to im assuming the usb debugging not being enabled.
I'm trying to save him some money by paying a repair shop >.< any tips?
Thanks
Anyone?
They sure are nice phones, the screen real estate vs my HTC one m9 is certainly noticeable
Did you install Samsung USB drivers and plugged phone in download mode? Can try also going to recovery and performing factory reset
Have installed samsung drivers, i can see the phone on the PC as a drive to load data to, but odin doesn't see it.
Factory reset seems to still have the account linked, a security feature of 5.1 i'm sure.
I'm getting a copy of the stock rom from sammobile
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G928I/
fingers crossed i can use this and it recognises it if i just replace the stock file
can it be forced via adb?
Okay so turns out i'm thinking of the wrong thing. USB Debug works., great can interface via ODIN and ADB.
Is it possible to enable "OEM Unlock' via command line interface of adb, or ODIN ? without access to the OS this is making life hard
Flash stock firmware. You need to flash stock firmware to access the OS and then enable OEM Unlock. There is no other way. You cannot charge it even without enabling it.
AFTER ROOTING MAKE SURE NOT TO DISABLE OEM UNLOCK.
I tried that, flashed stock firmware from sammob but it still wants the sellers Gmail account has he bought a brick?
Do a factory reset after ODIN flash. Flash TWRP, access recovery, format system, cache and data (including internal) and then check.
thanks, will update soon
Stock firmware flash works
Factory reset / cache clear works
Flashing TWRP fails due to FRP lock , due to the OEM Unlock not being enabled im assuming
"Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock"
I'm sorry but I think you are locked out of the phone.
It certainly seems that way. its always frustrating as a geek to be defeated

Hi, I've bought a phone with same condition.
Have you solved the problem?
Sure have, I obtained a file which allows you into the settings from the Google lock screen which allows you to enable OEM unlock. Due to the legalities though I'm not sure it's allowed to share this here though
can you please post/send me this file ? and instructions, i assume you flash it via Odin/adb

I recently Hard Reset my Samsung Galaxy Tab A6, SM-T285 through recovery. After booting i cannot sign in to my primary google account because it says "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device". I tried all of my google account
nothing works.
1. Tried Odin Twice with two different version of Firmware
After enabling FRP Lock on Odin, Flashing stuck at "Sending Lock information" and fails
2.Tried Kies3 recovery process
3.Tried to install TWRP using Odin
FRP Lock is still there and i cannot use my phone
Please help me
If the firmware isn't installing it's the wrong one.
You need to go into developer settings and enable OEM UNLOCK.

I cannot enter developer settings because phone requests "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device". Next button is disabled without it.

I would ensure you are using the correct account. My guess is its not.
The Google account will be associated with your device. If it's the correct account then you should be fine.
If you've installed the wrong firmware then Google may see your device as different.
I would sign into your account you think was used on the device via the web then go to Device activity & notifications and ensure your device is listed.
https://accounts.google.com/login
I can see two Devices
1.Samsung Galaxy Tab A6
2.Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE
Mine is Galaxy Tab A6, SM-T285, Recovery email address is correct.
But when i try to login that account on my phone, google says "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device"
Are you not able to wipe data?

i have been given 2 tablets from a friend and been told I can keep one if I can fix. I have tried everything,,,
I have little programming knowledge but understand the for if else way of thinking from around 10yrs ago when I studyied at college.
I have tried Hard Reset and blimey its blocked everyway possible.
I can not get into recovery mode nor can I get in safe mode. I tried pluging in usb, sd card and all hard ware buttons are disabled. ive tried pin hole as well as disconnecting the battery and putting it back in..is their away like with pcs motherboard and processer? Although risky?
It has an app appearing to be on the main partition called Fundroid.

Can you reformat those links as they're just html nonsense.
Just post the links.
Also you haven't stated what your issue is?
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo9uJDDuSxw
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?
So im trying to install twrp recovery but when i try to flash it thru odin, i get a Custom Binary (RECOVERY) blocked by FRP lock. I cant factory reset because it also disabled by FRP. I cant verify the tablet because i dont know the account information as the tablet was bought through craigslist. I have tried flashing a stock firmware version and that installed fine, but i still couldnt get past the verify screen. So thats when i decided to try and flash twrp but came into the binary error. I have been trying for the past two days to find a way around the verify identity and the frp lock. I cant enable oem unlock. I have tried rootjunky method but OTG flash wont pull up the file manager when plugged into the tablet. I cant use adb because i cant enable the developer settings because you guessed it i cant get past verify identity screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you need to find the Combination Firmware.

It only works with certain versions of 6. The one ending is PL4 is the one you want. The trick is in adding the fake wifi network instead of connecting to your home network. Pay close attention to the beginning of the video.

You have to use Odin to install PL4. You can't flash it via TWRP. Also, make sure you wipe everything first.

Yea but when I try to factory wipe it says mdm doesn't allow factory reset and reboots and takes me back to that same black screen. I can only wipe cache partition. I will post a picture of the screen when I get home.

Tried this as well. I did it about 20 times before giving up. I might try it again and do it about 30 to 50 times. If I was just able to get to settings I'd be straight but I can't get to the settings so that's why I'm trying to reset it as a completely new device. Do you know if I could flash the 7 inch tab A firmware onto the smt580? Or flash the smt585 firmware onto the t580 and flash the BL AP and CSC?

From what I've read, Airwatch MDM lock can't be removed by flashing ANYTHING. It is third party anti-theft protection that has nothing to do with what ROM is installed. I know I ran into their stuff a few years ago with a used laptop I bought and only Airwatch was able to solve the problem after contacting their customer and verifying the laptop wasn't stolen.

When i flashed the device i may have deleted the admin privilages so there is no way of gettting around it as of now. I might end up paying someone to fix it or get around it or i wasted 180$ on a locked device. The guy i bought it from either blocked my number or deactivated his number as i cant get in contact with him. Pretty pissed. Thanks for all the help tho
I had the black screen password happen to me when I downgraded my SM-P580 from Android 7 to 6. Try clearing the cache. If that doesn't work, try reflashing, then turn it off and reboot to recovery and clear the cache.

I found this site. It is apparently an "MDM lock" and not FRP.

Do you think if i changed the CSC to a different region on the tablet, and put a unlocked bootloader on it, would it might get rid of the frp lock? Do you happen to have a smt580? If so do you think there is anyother way of getting around this? say if i flashed like your firmware on to my tablet? Im desperate to get this thing unlocked as i would be out 180$ :crying:. Thanks for all your help so far. I really appreciate it man. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.
Or what if i downgrade it to 6.1 and then downgrade it again to a even farther back version? Do you think this might work and gett me around the black screen? If so then i would be able to bypass the google verify account. Ima go ahead and try it unless its a risk of bricking the tablet completely.
I also read somewhere that if i flash the cp part on odin that it will erase all data. Think that might be worth a shot? But what do i need to insert in the cp slott? I know BL goes to BL and AP to AP and CSC home goes in CSC. So what goes in the cp slot?
EDIT: So instead of putting csc home in the csc slot i put the other csc file in its place. I checked the re partition box. When i did this i got a new message on the tablet in the top left of tthe download mode that says FRP is enabled, ignore PIT download. Any idea what this means?
Hi Guys,
I have a couple T580 tablets for my kids, and we had just gotten a new one for Christmas that I set up. I THOUGHT I had done everything correctly, but the new tablet is giving me the FRP Lock suddenly.
Any idea how that could happen? Is there any way to recover the tablet or do I have to do a original rom flash?
Thanks

Somethings not right. You don't "suddenly get an FRP lock". An FRP lock occurs only after you "factory reset" the tablet and don't know the google account login. And that is only if you hadn't enabled "OEM" in "Developer options". What makes you think it is the "FRP lock"? And if it is locked, flashing a ROM with Odin won't help. You'll still need the google account info to access the tablet.

Because this is what it says when I start the tablet...

I have a google account, and info, for the tablet. Not sure how I put it in when the boot process is blocked though...
My only thought is something happened with Magisk?

Again, unless something has changed, which I doubt, that is not the way the FRP lock works. First of all, you said nothing about having a custom ROM installed. But even if you did, the FRP lock would NOT prevent the tablet from booting. It would merely ask for your google account info when it did boot. Have you tried booting into recovery and performing a factory reset?
edit: Let me explain what FRP means. In early versions of Android, if your phone/tablet were lost or stolen, anyone could bypass your "screen lock" simply by booting into recovery mode and perfoming a Factory Reset. So Google came up with the Factory Reset Prevention lock. So if someone tried to use the Factory Reset, the lock would demand the google account login and password to access the tablet. So if you wanted to sell your tablet, you either had to enable "Developer options" and then use that to "Enable OEM", prior to reseting the tablet or put in a google account whose info you could pass to the buyer, remove your real account, and then reset.
In any case, the tablet did NOT show the message you are getting. I've bought several T580s on eBay that WERE locked, and none of them gave that message. A locked tablet would still let you install stock ROMs with Odin, but the tablet would still ask for the google account info. But the way around that can be found in this forum.

When I turn on the power, the screen comes on, and then says "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock" then the screen turns off. I have not tried a factory reset because I was hoping to find a solution without losing everything before I did something that could not be undone.
The only thing left is, I know samsung will (if detected) attempt to remove software. I wonder if it somehow tried to reset automatically and in so doing caused this.
A factory reset does not help in your case.
First option is: contact your person, who sell the phone. Because he must unlock this one in his Google settings.
The question is: how many times a wrong oe no account was insert, that the device doesn't start up till the possibility to insert the correct account.

You don't lose everything with a Factory Reset and what you do lose should be easily recovered from your google account backup. And nothing else could be done that wouldn't also cause a reset.

No one sold me this phone, I bought it new. There is no unlock option. The phone doesnt event start booting, the screen turns on says the FRP lock, then turns off.
Ab FRP Lock said, that the phone is looked via a Google account.
In a normal case, you can only unlock the device, if you insert the correct Account with password.
I don't know.. maybe you have insert 3 time wrong credentials... why the device give your not the possibility to unlock the device.
Try an complete wipe / factory reset out of the recovery menu, so that the OS can start.
The lock isn't away, but maybe you have the possibility to insert the correct data.
In Download Mode here is what I see:

Alright I just flashed the latest rom and that fixed it.
I now know a little bit about what is going on. When I got the tablet, I set it up for me. Then I discovered googles "family link" so I set it up again for my daughter.
Child accounts have FRP protection. I dont know what triggered it, but somehow it activated recently when it discovered magisk which I had installed some time back.
Now I am super irritated and over Family Link...
