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?
I want to share this with you since it was a real pain to figure this out.
I wanted to flash TWRP in order to flash custom roms into my phone. Mine is a J730G.
When I tried to flash twrp, I got the oem block event on the download mode, i could not get past it in any way. The instructions on how to flash twrp said to enable unblock OEM on developer options, but that option was not there when I looked for it. I knew that was what was not letting me.
After searching and searching and reading and trying every method I found, trying to enable OEM unblock option... I ended up soft bricking my device. I had the screen that said "an error has occurred while updating the device software". This was after trying the magicbox method. Don't do it.
So I had a bricked phone, was not able to flash twrp, and couldn't remove the damn oem block.
I found here on XDA that I could download the original firmware and flash it via odin and it should let me. So I downloaded the android 7.0 version original rom and it wouldn't let me flash it via odin, samsung doesnt want downgrades.... So I downloaded a 8.0 Vietnamese version I found here on xda uploaded on google drive. THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING IT! I am not able to post the link here since my account is new...but maybe you can let me know how to share it..
I downloaded that, flashed it via odin, and it worked! My phone was back. I just had to change the language and I was ok. But all this was to unblock OEM, so it was not over. I followed these steps I found in the beginning of my research. Make sure you flash the firmware without the sim card in just to make sure!! So after you flash:
1 On first boot up, skip everything, even wifi.
2 Go to date settings, change the date to 32 days back.
4 Go to update settings, turn off auto updates.
3 Reboot
4 Set up wifi. Don't let the phone download too many things.
5 Check for an update manually. Phone may have set auto date again after wifi was turned on... but its ok.
6 Reboot
7 Check for manual update again. You should have 1 pending update, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT
8 Enable developer options
9 Go to developer options
10 OEM Unblock option will be there!!
11 ENABLE THAT MF!!
And that's it! You can now flash TWRP using odin. And from there you can do whatever you want!!
Hope this can help you and hope this method works for a while. Please let me know how to tag this post for it to be easy to find for others. I would like the owner of Prometheus Rom, ananjaser1211, to know about this! It could help his users manage to flash TWRP.
Thank you and good luck!

[SOLVED]
I apologize for my stupidity...
On a recent trip to China I recklessly purchased the used TAB A 10.1 model SM-P585Y.
The tablet worked perfectly, but when I came home I did a reset to clean it and once restarted the system remains with the FRP Lock.
The operating system is Oreo and I can't load any more twrp.
If I downgrade to Marshmallow, it doesn't reboot but only enters Factory Recovery mode...
In this mode, if I enable the Developer Option and then usb Debugging in the settings, there is no trace of the OEM unlock.
I can't load TWRP with odin nor with ADB (but maybe I don't do the correct procedure...)
If I do the update again at Oreo there is no recovery...
This is because when I flash Oreo with Chimera, the image file in the firmware is greater than the PIT, so I have to skip otherwise it stops.
When I start the system only arrives at the google account screen but I can't go any further, not even by opening a sort of chrome browser reduced by touching the google sign from one of the info screens that I can access from the keyboard settings.
Can someone please help me?

Any chance of turning off FRP through the Google account of whoever's account was on the tablet once you had it? I thought you could disable that by logging into Google with that account and turning it off via the web.
Then again, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, others probably know much better.
Good luck!

External service, they connected remotly with me and did it...
Purchased the phone off guy on Facebook. It appears that he wiped it without realizing about the FRP lock. It had 7.0 on it. I tried all the tricks you see on the youtube videos to bypass FRP but none of them worked. I know how to use ODIN and Z3X, so I flashed an 8.0 firmware thinking I would try some of the bypass methods for 8.0. Those didn't work so then I tried to move back to 7.0.....and then I learned that you can't downgrade bootloaders. In odin it would say Fused 10 > Binary 4, for example. To be clear, the firmware that I am on is G935UUESACSF1.
The next thing I tried was to load a combination firmware. I used G935AUCUAASF1. That allowed me to load up "Factory Binary" and within that firmware I have access to the settings menu and IMEI dialer. I went into the menu, enabled developer options, and made sure that USB debugging was enabled. There was no option for "OEM Unlock". I used the dialer to bring up USB settings and set it to MTP+ADB. Then I brought up Z3X 29.5 thinking I would use the FRP unlock feature there. The SM-935A does not have a feature for that, but the SM-935T and F models do. So I took a risk and pulled up the T model and I selected FRP Reset. It did it's thing and it said that it was successful. I followed the instructions to do a factory data wipe directly after.
I wasn't sure what to do next, so I put the phone back into download mode and used ODIN to flash the 8.0 firmware back on. When that booted up, nothing had changed..it was still FRP locked. I'm not sure if I'm missing something in the process or what I should do next, if anything can be done. It seems I'm very limited in what I can do because from what it seems, I can't downgrade to a lower bootloader binary so I can't, for example, go back to 7.0 or 6.0.1. I can't even go back to earlier versions of 8.0 and try some of the tricks for those (like the S Voice Terms and Conditions trick..S Voice isn't listed during startup on my firmware)...
Anything that I can do? Any help is appreciated.
Can you get into custom recovery? If you can, flash no verity opt encrypt and it will be fixed or if not, also flash RMM bypass

can you Kindly Share the stock rom you used. i am having the Same issues. Thank you in advance .
Hi everyone, i’m having an extremely weird issue with my Samsung J5 Prime (SM-G570Y/on5xelte). First of all; sorry for bad english, this post will be a bit long.
So i want to unlock OEM, to install custom recovery and custom ROM (and being able to login with google account from gms (Google Play Service app)).
i activate developer options.
Then go to Settings > Developer Options, but OEM Unlock is missing (i did'nt have the screenshot of the settings), i already try every method to reappear it but nothing worked.
Trying my luck, im rebooting my phone to download mode, on there i didn’t see any text that says OEM Unlock, i tried to flash OrangeFox Recovery using ODIN. And suprisingly it worked, i even double-checked it by actually booting to recovery. i did'nt expect it to work though...
Then i install RadicalQuack Custom ROM, and do some root-level customization.
But as soon as i try to login Google account from Google Play Service (this didnt affect web login or any other login) on Stock/Custom ROM, and reboot the phone... my phone was FRP locked, i was shocked because my configuration isn’t even backed up.
I have to flash stock rom in download mode, get to setup, login google, remove the account, then i can get rid of FRP lock.
And at this point is where everything is confusing.
If i use stock rom without any changes, the "OEM Unlock" option is'nt appearing at all.
But if i use custom ROM (in this case i use RadicalQuack), the "OEM Unlock" option Appears (until i remove "ro.frp.pst" in build.prop)
So i can do anything but CANNOT login using Google Account from Google Play Services or get FRP locked and All data destroyed.
Now my question is, is it safe to enable "Unlock OEM"? Because i dont know if OEM Unlock is currently enabled or not, i dont know how to check if the bootloader is actually locked, i dont want to get locked forever on samsung stock and bloated shtt again.
PS:
Somehow... i can login Google account without getting FRP locked by:
Unlocking OEM (on the custom ROM ofcourse, since it won't be visible on stock ROM anyway...)
and removing "ro.frp.pst" (especially "ro.frp.pst=/dev/block/persistent") on /system/build.prop, /system/vendor/build.prop, /vendor/build.prop
what did you do?
Hiii, what did you do? I need to unlock oem un my j5 prime
Same Problem Happens to me But Now How you use custom rom without getting frp lock please Tell I Have Also J5 prime And Same Happens to me also I need to flash stock rom from which my custom rom get erased
