[Q] Samsung s5-this device is locked because of adnormal factory reset. Please Help!

I have just bought a Samsung galaxy s5 from a for sale site. Seemed fully legitimate. Get home and try setting it up and I'm stuck on the screen that reads " this device I'd locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account you have already signed in to on this device to confirm it belongs to you. "
I do not know this information. And now have no way of getting the information off the owner. I have tried a couple of methods to bypass this And watched numerous videos on YouTube.
Some tutorials to remove it tell me to press "forgotten your ID or password?" Did that. Put my own samsung account. Entered the captcha and then went to the next screen. In the videos they tell you to them press my email which is highlighted in blue and then it takes you to the Web and it carries on from there. However it does not let you press the email anymore. It isn't a link or anything.
Please can someone give me some advice or help! Welcome any questions or anything. Thanks very much. Jordan.

Go in recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If not works I would suggest you to flash a new firmware through Odin.

thanks for reply
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have tried the factory reset and all that on recovery mode.
I am not the best expert on rooting or rooting. So any advice would be kuchly appreciated as I currently have no phone!! Thanks. Jordan

Seems you have bought a used S5 right ?
Are you sure this is not a lost os stolen device
As you describe de situation i`m thinking on the option Reactivation Lock o security tab.
If the old owner let this option active you will have a hard time trying to use the phone without the samsung account information.

Very much sounds like a stolen device I take it you didn't take any ID from the seller?
Might be expensive learning curve.

Damn... Issue... Smarthswitch does sometimes have bugs. Try creating a new google account to log in. Logging to your samsung account then might let you restore your data. Btw google how to bypass google login. There are many guides but I don't remember one right now.

I made a new google account but i had to make it on my desktop pc, cause i can't do on my j5. When i boot my j5 i can take the first three steps
1. the android welkome screen appears and i have to choose a language
2. choose w-lan
3. accept policies
And then google verification starts and i have to type my Email and password. When i confirm i get this error message on the bottom of the screen: Unable to sign in device due to a recent passwort change. Please try to sign in 24 hours after the passwort change performed
And i can't bypass it

If you've never used a Google account and your phone is new, you should not be asked for an account. When you turn on the phone for the first time a configuration setup appears which in one of its steps asks you to enter a Google account, if you have done and you have put a pin code the phone will be blocked when you try to alter the system. FRP is activated when you put a security pattern, pin code, or add a Google account. Before installing the twrp you should activate the oem unlock. In any case the phone is stolen, we can not help you with that. Xda has her rules. You can try using a box z3x, medusa, octopus etc etc.

I never use google accounts, why should i ? and the phone was bought through amazon. If you start the first time without any sim card, bypass the google account login and then put twrp on it. You get the same problem as i. You'll see. I don't steal Handys or buy things like that !

If you don't use Google accounts then it must be a very limited experience. Because most of what the device can do is based around Google.
How do you update apps? Backup contacts? Use YouTube etc?
Also it seems you missed out a bit of information above. It doesn't say you've factory reset your device which you must have done to get you in that predicament.
All you needed to do was reinstall the stock firmware to bypass FRP Lock. Wiping the device had compounded the issue.
Its great that you've fixed it, but at least you may realise the value of ensuring you have a working Google account.

[SOLVED] "Login to owners account" - Android 7.0

[SOLVED] GUIDE NOW AVAILABLE!
Hi,
It's again me, who had question about oeminfo for VNS-L21. So I just did that and my phone is for HW vendor now.
What's the problem? I installed Android 7.0 Official Beta (using proxy). It downloaded me 1.89GB and there's no keyboard (only Google Voice). After update it shows me "The device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device." (something like that, in Polish of course). I put the right password and mail and it says me "Login to owner account of this phone". How can I bypass it? Should I downgrade to MM using official Huawei method (rollback then clean C432B161) or there's other way? Maybe wait 72hrs period to deactivate itself (I read it somehow works)? My FRP is locked.
Thank you for all responses!
Cheers!

Try to follow this guide:
http://www.techoxygen.com/bypass-google-account-unlock-frp-huawei-p9-lite
Anyway I can't tell you if it will work, even downgrade won't disable the account verification. If the guide does not work search on Google "bypass Google account verification" and try some of the guides that you can find online and on YouTube. I once had your same problem with an LG and it was a pain in the ** to bypass the verification and I made it after a whole day trying different things :/

[Help] Samsung S8 (SM-G950W) bypass FRP?

Hi,
I did a search here for anything to do with (SM-G950W) and saw 10 threads about this model but I am unable to find a thread that has a solution to my problem. I have read posts about using Odin v3.12.7 and putting the phone into download mode then flash the PDA (now called AP) with a combination .MD5 file that is compatible for (SM-G950W). I tried flashing with a stock AP, one from a stock SM-G950U and several others that I have found from Google search and all I get from Odin is "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1". I made sure I had the latest version (as of writing this post) of the Samsung USB Driver with version 1.5.63.0 so does anyone know how I can bypass the FRP (factory reset protection)? I see lots of Youtube videos about using a bluetooth device and calling emergency but I will avoid this method. I should also mention that the "download" screen does show FRP lock enabled if that matters (is this KNOX?).
I am trying to help my friend fix this problem because he locked himself out of his phone so I am out of ideas and for whatever reason he does not remember the last Google account that was synced with his phone. We tried all the emails that "he" thinks it is and when we put in his cell phone # the recovery said it will send us the verification code but it fails.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks to those who replied.
EDIT:
I got Odin to flash the phone now. I had to use Canada (Rogers), version 7.0, PDA - (G950WVLU2AQK7), CSC - (G950WOYA2AQK7), date 2017-12-10 from SamMobile website. I wanted to flash the XAC version to remove Rogers branding but I kept getting the "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1" error. Anyway, the phone rebooted back to FRP (factory reset protection) screen to enter a Google account. So back to square one unless someone knows which file I need to flash in order to bypass or unlock FRP.
Thanks,

Use a tool like chimera tool you'll be able to get past that no problem. Should be able to anyway. 99% of people on these forums will automatically brand you a thief because nobody here apparently forgets their login account info and are otherwise perfect citizens

First off, thank you for being helpful. I even invited myself to the telegram group "Galaxy S8/S8+ (XDA Group)" to ask for help there too and some people was not as helpful by telling us that it would be impossible to forget the login. Seriously, I could have laughed at my friend and call him dumb but I didn't because he came to me for help. I searched and read so many forums and downloaded so many different files from legal websites to understand what to do but I couldn't get it resolved.
I will try the "chimera" tool that you suggested and if that doesn't work then we will just give up and bring the phone to a repair shop. I spoke to someone at Google today who said gmail password resets may take up to 24 hours for the phone to recognize. So we will try again with the 3 gmail accounts that we think was synced with the phone tomorrow because the passwords was just reset today however the representative said Samsung might be able to help so he transferred us to the Samsung in the U.S. (by mistake?) and the girl from Samsung transferred us to Samsung Canada. What a run around; anyway the last person said we may need to bring it to a repair shop. The person asked us for our postal code and gave us a few shops in our area.
Crossing our fingers that the "chimera" tool works otherwise we're probably looking at $50-$60 CAD for the phone repair shop to fix this issue.
Thanks again!

So I installed chimera and it doesn't list SM-G950W as an available model to reset the FRP. Do I need an update or do I need to buy something to get more supported models? Also I looked at "http://www.techoxygen.com/samsung-fr...frp-lock-free/" and downloaded the "Octoplus Samsung Tool" the download file came with a trojan virus which got removed by antivirus program. Now when I try to open the Octoplus tool it is saying that the "Card is not found". What does that mean? Sorry I never done this before so I am not familiar with these terms.

Thanks for your help. We tried watching the videos but our Samsung S8 does not have a home button. Anyway, we decided to go to a local phone repair shop and they charged us $80 to reset the lock. We had to wait a bit because the Samsung server was down but at least we got our phone working again.
Also if anyone is wondering about the chimera tool and support for Samsung S8 this is the response I got from their support team:
Dear User,
Yes, currently it is not supported. The FRP reset is not added for the S8 models.Of course we will add it, in the near future. When? right now i can not tell you exact date, but i am sure that we can handle it soon.
Best regards,
Chimera team

Right on at least you got it going again. I just kinda assumed chimera tool supported that cause I've been using it for years on my other galaxy phones and was unlocking a whole bunch of other phones for $10 a pop.

I have same problem with my sm-g950w and don't want to pay 80$ at phone repair shop
hopefully if I wait a little, more option will become available for the frp reset
if anyone has any more options, please let me know

It's not that everyone thinks that, it's that there is no way to tell from a forum post, and rather than risk making xda complicit in a felony it's safer and fairer to just not answer any of them on the board where there is an official record. Just wait until some judge subpones all of xdas servers because they hold official records in an ongoing criminal case

Ok trying to help here, if you already flashed the phone with version 7 its means will get easy to bypass the G account, just there are a lot of videos on you tube but the easiest one is in spanish.. (freedom phone) the name of the you tuber, if not there are more in english..
Android 7 allow you to update the keyboard which is necessary in order to complete the task, it will take just 10 minutes I did one T mobile but it will work with the canadian one as long as the phone has the version 7.. btw i am downloading the rogers firmware to flash my canadian one.. thanks for the tip..

XDA never encourages this "fishy" applications for some really really desperate people that needs help.
Samsung repair centre can fix your FRP Locked phone. Just present your Proof of purchase/receipt/ warranty card and of course your phone
So you can use your phone again.
FRP security is implemented to prevent unauthorized access on your phone.
So make sure you don't forget your main google account logged in on your phone.
It is really recommended that you have "MULTIPLE WAYS" of retrieving your Google account
Make sure your G Account has
(
1. phone number
2. recovery email
3. provided security
4. Q&A
5. Google recovery page ( you need to answer personal info/identity you can remember)
)

If this helps you i have the SM-G950W (G950WVLS3BRE1) and i made it work by flashing the COMBINATION_FA70_G950USQU3ARD1 first then i flashed the firmware 4 file G950USQU3CRD4 using BL+AP+CP+HOME_CSC+USERDATA and it worked beautifully. Maybe it will help your issue.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and need some help please.
I have a Samsung S8 (G950WVLU5BRG4) with Android Version 8.0. The phone is unlocked and from Rogers in Canada but has a Google FRP.
Although I followed the step by step instructions with the combination file and so on Odin keeps showing me an error and is unable to bypass the Google account lock. The error message I am getting within log of the combination file is:
FAIL! (Auth)
Complete (Write) operation failed
All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 1)
Any idea of how to solve this problem? I am sure it got solved already by someone in the forum but I can't find the right entry.

Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this devise to confirm that it belongs to you". when i try to sign in it replies "process failed" so i cant use my phone at the moment. it still goes into recovery mode so i am asking the community has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas on how to fix. otherwise i'll go to samsung which i have already started to do bu i fear the cost. or i may take it to a mobile repair store which i really fear their cost. anywayz thanks for your time. my email is [email protected] if u wish to reply that way....pls help and thnks

I found this on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/samsung-account-reactivation-lock-t3666263
that one is for an S6 but maybe it will work the same way. if not, here is another one for the s5:
