Sadly I cannot unlock my T-Mo MyTouch 3G phone..
I have forgotten a numeric passcode to get passed the lockscreen...
it doesn't request a Gmail login to reset password or anything like other android phones... i have the stock unrooted rom.... no custom recovery or anything...
the current stock recovery doesnt allow me to wipe data, cache, update.zip or anything.. it doesnt allow me to select any available commands which is really unusual...
ive tried to flash another recovery via fastboot but unfortunately i have S-ON... i don't know what else to do... i've tried rooting the phone and i've succeeded but theres no point since the lockscreen doesnt allow me to access superuser... this phone has no hardware problems every button works
I FEEL LIKE THERES NO OTHER OPTION If there's a way to have this phone functioning I'd be extremely surprised. Please help!!!
Edit* - in fastboot mode it shows an option to reset phone when pressing the send (call) button... i've tried it twice but it only restarts my phone back to the lockscreen
Home+back+power. (If I remember correctly)
can you clarify on what that's suppose to do??
Clear user data
That only gets you to fastboot mode...
Please give Fastboot info in order to help you by giving you the right RUU for you to install it but it will unroot the phone,will lock the hboot and it will install the htc recovery but this will solve your problem.
Download Fastbootcommander and post here the info that will give you.
If you do what I said then follow the instructions it gives you (I think it says press trackball to erase and power to turn of) then it wipes data and you can set it up again.
It sais you that the recovery has not this option! Please can you tell me the name of the recovery? Amon ra,Clockworkmod,Hero, what??
Here what he said my friend tvall: the current stock recovery doesnt allow me to wipe data, cache, update.zip or anything.. it doesnt allow me to select any available commands which is really unusual...
Step 1: power down completely
Step 2: hold home and end button
Step 3: wait until the warning triangle appears and let go of both buttons
Step 4: press both buttons again
Step 5: scroll down to factory reset
Step 6: once reset, go to reboot
use the trackball to select
I forgot my home screen lock pattern. We used to have the option to get into our mobile phones via our Google account/Gmail in a bind like this. Now it only gives you 30 seconds before another attempt and that's it (?) I tried logging into Android Device Manager and it sends a code via SMS on my phone, but how can I see the SMS if I can't unlock my phone?! Is there any other way to get in? Perhaps with my Google account? Thx...

Hi.
Was reading your post.
Try rebooting in RECOVERY-Mode.
1-Turn phone off
2-Hold down: Power & Down Buttons
3-Press: Up, when Logo/Android shows
4- Scroll with: Pwr Up/Dwn to: RECOVERY
5-Select: Recovery, with the Pwr-Button
6-WAIT for phone to reboot into Recov-Mode;
then, click: "Wipe Cache Data". After that,
click: "Factory Reset" or similar wording.
Finally, reboot phone. You should now be
able to get into it without ANY locks!!!
Only downside is: this method WILL erase
all previous stuff. Hope you made a backup.
Let me know how you made out; and good
luck.
Before you start. Whatever you do. Whatever you want. Dont flash Android 7 if youre frp locked and youre on android 6. Learn of others failure.
So i found a alternative to those google assist and Voice assistant tricks to get you to the internet.
Works on: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=8A3B64C8509711E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Unpack, flash with odin. AP in the AP slot. BL into the BL slot. And HOME_CSC into csc spot.
Dont check anything but the first and the third option in options.
When you flashed it, it may boot into recovery. Just reboot.
Then press START. Connect to a wifi network press next, and accept the terms of service. And then when it wants you to enter the previous email click on the empty field to open keyboard, on the keyboard long press the second to the left from the SPACEBAR and select the settings logo thing.
It should have taken you to SAMSUNG KEYBOARD settings. On the left side of the ''SAMSUNG KEYBOARD'' there should be an arrow, click on it then select google voice typing. Click on ''Your Feed'' and press ''Feed'' Option. That should take you to a blue screen, Press ''No, Thanks'' in the left corner. Then in Search type ''Chrome'' and tap on the Chrome icon.
you can download Nova Launcher from some apk mirror and use it as an normal tablet.
I've also tried the Google Account Manager trick with quickshortcut maker but that didnt work for me.
Please share all progress you make as i have not bypassed the FRP myself. But well, i made it to the internet! That's some progress, i guess :fingers-crossed:

If you have a launcher working, you should be able to go to /Settings/Accounts and add a Google account. Then you should be able to restart and use the new account to login and bypass the FRP.

I have already tried that. But it just wants the old email and password.
use smart device flow in google settings to copy your google accounts from another device.

So i recently factory reseted my s7(g930v) which i bought on ebay.Needlesly to say the previous owner forgot to send me his email so i got locked out of the phone that i bought.So in order to bypass frp i downloaded odin flashed the combination file and when im getting to the settings>developers option i can't seem to find OEM Unlock.Does it show up after 7 days or it is most likely to never show up because verizon got it locked ?

if its FRP locked, then you have to clear that FRP lock, if you using combination file then you have to have Z3x hardware box to clear it, or you have to flash the stock ROM again and then see YouTube videos to see if you can get lucky to clear that frp lock, under combination file you wont see oem, you have to be on stock Rom to see that. if you can't get that frp lock away, then either you have to buy a service which can clear that for you or just send that phone back to seller using eBay return policies, there is no other way around to it.
I managed to bypass frp on my verizon s7 G930VVRU8CRJ3. I will try and list the steps so you can test it for yourself
From the start screen hold vol up and vol down simultaneously to start talkback
Draw a L to open global context menu.
Select talkback settings
Long press vol up and down together to turn off talkback
Select text to speech setting
Select the gear next to preferred engine
Select install voice data
Select the download arrow next to any language
Select the grey oval that says tools under the title of whatever language you chose
(You may have to update the galaxy store)
Select the magnifying glass and search for "internet"
Download samsung internet browser then open by pressing the triangle that appears in the same spot the download button was
Type frptools.com
Click on the second link that says All Frp Bypass Apk Download - frptools.com
Download FRPTools_8.1.apk install and open
Click on open google login. It will say you need google account manager then automatically down load it. Install that then it will take you back in to the frptools apk.
Click open google login again
Click on the three dots in the top right and choose browser sign in
Input your google account and password
Download apex launcher from frp tools apk and install.
Pull down notification shade and select settings gear
Select general management setting
Select reset
Select factory data reset. You should see your email account on this screen
Select reset.
Once it reboots you should be able breeze through setup wizard with your credentials.
Good luck! Please let me know if this works for you
THANK YOU! I had to redo the procedure, because after doing the factory reset, it still wouldn't accept my email.
After logging into my account via web browser, I simply backed all the way out and went to the account verification screen, and it said my account was set up and ready.
Edit: Sent you ad-free. ?
Awesome! Glad it worked. Thanks for the ad free!!
Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
I am also running G930VVRU8CRJ3 on an SM-G930v however once talk back is enabled the L gesture does nothing. Is there some type of secret I am missing?
Edit: I did eventually make this work, I was activating talkbalk by placing 2 fingers on the display not using the volume keys. I also had no luck doing the factory reset after adding the account, but upon trying again I backed out and was good to go. THANKS!!

Up through here, these instructions worked perfectly.
From there, I ran into the FRPTools not being able to launch the Google login because the account manager wasn't installed, and kept getting parsing errors trying to install it using FRPTools.
You can download a working Google account manager from here (use the already installed Samsung Internet Browser):
http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/Apps/FRP/Android_6_Google_Account_Manager.apk
Once it's installed, try reinstalling FRPTools and proceeding with the browser sign in. If that doesn't work, try using this one:
http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/Apps/FRP/com.rootjunky.frpbypass-1.0.apk
Either FRPTools or FRPBypass should work on an S7. Mine was a fully updated Verizon model (I flashed it with G930VVRU4CRE5_8).
After logging in, just reboot the phone and you should be able to complete the factory setup.

How to root N20 (N985F/N986B/N9860)
WARNING!
Before you root your device you must be aware that
This will void warranty.
As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but some ROMs are patched for all these mentioned features, you can use custom ROM or patch it yourself for stock ROM. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
How to Unlock Bootloader
Follow below four steps to ulock the bootloader
1.Enable Developer Option
Open the Settings app on your Galaxy device.
Choose About > Software Information.
Now tap on Build Number 7 times to enable the developer option.
You’ll get a message “You’re now a developer.”
Now Developer option has been enabled.
2: Enable OEM Unlock
Go to the Settings app again on your device.
Navigate to the Developer option.
Enable the toggle next to OEM Unlocking.
Tap YES to turn on the confirmation dialog box.
3: Boot Your device to Download Mode
While device is booted → Connect device to PC → Select to Restart → As soon as device screen turns off, Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously OR In case device is powered off Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down simultaneously and connect your device to the PC via a USB Cable.
You can see the warning message on your device and release the pressed keys.
Finally, press the Volume Up key once, and you will be booted into Download Mode.
4: Unlock Bootloader
Once device booted into Download Mode, you will see option to long press Volume up to unlock bootloader,Now, press and hold the Volume Up key for a few seconds., Here, you’ll get a confirmation whether you are sure to proceed.
Use the Volume Up button to reply to the confirmation.
This will erase all the data on your device and unlock the bootloader.
Once completed, your device will automatically boot up to the OS.
Now you have successfully unlocked the bootloader
How to root
Instructions for stock non rooted ROM
Use either samfirm.js, Frija, or Samloader to download the latest firmware zip of your device directly from Samsung servers.
Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
Install Magisk apk
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file
When done, copy patched file to PC
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
Your device should reboot automatically once Odin finished flashing. Agree to do a factory reset if asked.
Install the Magisk app you’ve already downloaded above and launch the app. It should show a dialog asking for additional setup.
Let the app do its job and automatically reboot the device. Voila!
Upgrading the OSOnce you have rooted your Samsung device, you can no longer upgrade your Android OS through OTA. To upgrade your device’s OS, you have to manually download the new firmware zip file and go through the same AP patching process written in the previous section. The only difference here is in the Odin flashing step: do NOT use the CSC tar, but instead use the HOME_CSC tar as we are performing an upgrade, not the initial install.
Important Notes
Never, ever try to restore either boot, recovery, or vbmeta partitions back to stock! You can brick your device by doing so, and the only way to recover from this is to do a full Odin restore with data wipe.
To upgrade your device with a new firmware, NEVER directly use the stock AP tar file with reasons mentioned above. Always patch AP in the Magisk app and use that instead.
Never just flash only AP, or else Odin may shrink your /data filesystem size. Flash AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC when upgrading.
PS : It is strongly recommended to make EFS backup once you root device and save to safer place like on cloud or PC

Mostly U version is Snapdragon with unlock bootloader and not rootable. Confirm first if you have unlocked bootloader.
Also last 3 digit of firmware is weird. Which device is this? Can you post screenshot of phone info?

What I guess, here unlocked means sim unlocked NOT bootloader.
Some people might need clarification. An "unlocked" phone is not the same as a phone with an unlockable bootloader. If it's the same pattern from the past several years of Note releases. All of the snapdragon US versions won't have the ability to have their boot loaders unlocked, therefore a root. This root method most likely applies to the non-US Exynos versions. If you live in the US, and ordered your phone through Samsung or any carrier, it will be the snapdragon version. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Hi thanks for the rooting instructions. I would like to know if you or anyone has gotten the option for s pen pointer under air commands in your note advanced settings? Jimmy is promo does but every other youtube doesnt have that option so im wondering what note 20 has it and what firmware? Anyone feel free to chime in
If you have rooted the Note 20 ultra 5g (Germany), can i start it normally or do you have to hold a key combination?

If you root with Method mentioned in OP, you should able to boot with root without using combo keys
I coming from the note 9.
If it's rooted, how do I update it?

Plz post your question to appropriate forum
ok a new topic, "how do i update a rooted note 20 ultra 5g" Ok I'll do it as soon as I have mine.
no one has the S pen pointer option?
Also have any of you signed up for beta 3.0 android 11 for the s20? Im guessing you guys have early access because the note 20 isnt even out yet.
