I have a samsung s7 (g930a) and my daughter thought it would be fun to "hack" my phone. She created a dummy email account and put it on my phone ( this was months ago) now i am trying to resell it and when i reset the phone i did a hard reset instead of through settings. My account was already previously removed via my laptop but the other account has the frp locked.
Anyway i did the combination flash and the frp lock was still on and there is no oem unlock in the binary mode. I need help please.

I sold a nexus 6p online. I shipped it out to the buyer. He received it and he is unable to sign into his account on the phone. It is telling him that it's still attached to my account. I was wondering if there was a way to remotely delete my account so the buyer and sign into it with his account.

Search google for FRP (factory reset protection).
As far as I know there is no way to do it remotely. I think you should have signed out of your google account before you reset the phone. Most likely he will have to ship it back to you so you can sign in and then remove your account.
Here: https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1
But I'm not sure how that will affect the device.
You could always change your password to something stupid for a few seconds for him to sign in and sign out depends how sensitive data you have on your account..
Will Android device manager do it? Will it remotely wipe the phone and remove my account from it, or will it flag the phone as stolen. I cannot get any solid information from repeated Google searches as to what happens after the device is remote wiped.
Android Manager will wipe the device but when it turns on it will ask for any Google account it was bound to before wipe. The other person needs to enter your Gmail account, then his, then you can either change password to your account or wipe it with Device Manager and next time it boots it will accept your account or his (because both were added before wipe).
You can always set a temporary password to your Google account, send it to the buyer and have him log in with his account. After that, you change your password back and voilà.
Is all of this a working protection against simply Fastboot unlocking bootloader, flashing stock image then rebooting into a working phone?

If the bootloader is currently locked, I believe you would have to go into developer options to enable the OEM unlocking setting... Which you can't get to because of the FRP.

Unlocking bootloader (OEM unlocking in dev options) deactivates this protection but to do it you still need to get in there somehow and you can't without first logging into a Google account it is currently bound to. And as you probably know without unlocked bootloader you can't flash anything.
And even if he could flash new ROM my friend had bought used Samsung S7 Edge and previous owner also left it locked. You can flash different ROMs with S7 Edge out of the box but the FRP survived several attempts at flashing stock/custom ROMs. We had to use the workaround found here at xda S7 forums.
Thanks for all the info.
I did not unlock the bootloader on the phone. I read a little bit about Factory Reset Protection and the only way around it was to sign in to the phone and then remove your account from the phone. It's something that was new this year for Android devices and I was just unaware of it.
It's actually been around awhile, just not widely implemented. If you remember which monthly security update you last installed, he might be able to get around it. YouTuber root ninja has some videos depending on patch. The one I watched just for kicks (since I'd like my 6P to be protected if lost) was a few months old though.

I heard that with a simple factory reset with the stock recovery should remove the account from the phone.
Lol good luck with getting that off remotely it's impossible it's kinda like apple cloud system which is really good.
Hi,
I have a Tab A6 SM-t580, had it for a while then stopped using it, decided I wanted to give it to my son to play with, so did a reset by home & Vol Up & power button, then eventually it asks for this google verification, I've never seen this before and I cant remember the email address or password i used at the time because I just create a new random one for each device i have.
I used odin to flash the firmware but same thing
I tried to use odin to flash the root from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/root-t3674409 but that says its blocked the file because of the FRP lock.
Have I totally fooked this now? Do I just have a shiny paperweight?
Thanks
And another T580 falls victim to the FRP lock. If you don't enable Developer's options and OEM enable prior to a factory reset, you'll be required to enter your Google username and password upon first reboot. This is supposed to discourage thieves but it seems legit owners get bit by it more than the thieves. The good news is that you can recover from the disaster. But it isn't easy. Search the Q&A threads for "T580 FRP lock" and you should find the instructions for fixing it.
Thanks for that, I like the anti theft system, but maybe it should display a warning before you commit to the reset. I've done plenty of resets before on my android devices before and never seen this
A warning would also alert the thief not to reset. I know some people want more than one Google account and can forget what account they used on a given device. But I think the answer to this would be to allow some method of associating one's account to a main account that could be used to see what logon and passwords were used on each device. Personally, I use the same account on all devices. I have close to a dozen and if I used a different account on each, I'd never remember them all.
I've sorted it thanks to this post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/samsung-sm-t580-frp-lock-t3619870/
Thanks!!!
I have this device with FRP lock ON and Bootloader locked. I used a temporary google account on it, for my son, and he lost his password without a way to restore it. I am looking how to flash the device in such a way so that when I boot it, it didn't ask me for my old account password to be entered. Any way to unlock the Bootloader via FASTBOOT? or any other way of getting into phone menu? My son is a kid and he wouldn't need a fancy phone for now, just this old guy will fit him in the next year or two.
Hey guys
Im in a bit of a trouble.
Sitting in front of my dads phone trying to unlock it.
Cant ask my dad anymore. He died few days ago. To get access to his password safe i really need to unlock the phone. He stored all of his onlinebanking accounts, insurance data and stuff there. Need to pays all his debts but i have no clue about what to pay and what is paid.
Already found his secret note about the master password of keepass but not the unlock pattern.
Factory reset is of course not an option.
Any chance that i can skip the pattern and unlock it with the PIN?
Its also still connected to his google account if this would help.
Bootloader locked, no root, no twrp.
Found a thread from 2013 that says i can boot to twrp without flashing to delete the pin data but im not sure if it works on this one.
Can you access your dad Google account from a computer? if so, you can use Google Device Manager to remove the PIN/password of the device, but I'm not sure if doing this will erase the data. Also, you should contact Google for a solution, considering that isn't unauthorized access, and have a good reason behind. There is a form to contact them. Sorry for your loss.
Hi,
Thank you for your condolences.
I tried to lock the phone but it wont let me change the password.
There is a message. You already have a screenlock on the phone so it wont be changed.
The link you gave me also only let me get access to the account but not the phone.
Any other ideas how to get access?
I activated family link on my kids' Samsung J5 about a year ago, but I entirely forgot the password because I used a burner account. On the phone, I am unable to access or provide authorization. I attempted to reset it, but you must also have the authority to do so. Is it possible to do it with ADB or by flashing a new ROM?
Hard reset the phone and then do an FRP Bypass
