Factory Reset Protection (FRP) removal or bypass possible still?

My sister-in-law just got a new S7 from Verizon about a month ago. She setup the thumbprint and had some issues and apparently verizon were the ones who had set up her gmail account so she couldn't remember the password. Next thing you know, she's tried 15 times and her phone factory reset. Swell. But she still couldn't remember the password so she managed to actually reset it. Uh oh - now - if my reading is correct, there is a 72 hour lock on the phone since the password was reset.
So, I figured I try the method from rootjunky. Doesn't seem to work - although I checked in the recovery mode screen and it says she's on PG5. Should the rootjunky method work on this version?
Or is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version of 6.01 on this phone and then use the rootjunky method? Or is there something that will prevent me from flashing back to PE1 or so?
I know we could wait the 3 days out but she's visiting from out of town and not having her phone is killing her.
Any help/guidance/links are greatly appreciated.

Well...turns out this method works perfectly!! Security patch level 9/2016 - Bypass google account for all SAMSUNG Devices

Using USB tool to bypass FRP reduced the amount of system memory from 32GB to 8GB?

Admin, sorry, but the suggestions were close, but no cigar...
So I got sick and tired of trying to Google "Google FRP bypass" on Nougat 7.0 (Google got "smart" and hid those?)...
I went through Cellunlocker, and they did a remote desktop connection, downgraded my S6 Edge plus from 7.0 to 6.0.
After they downgraded my OS, they used some tools, like usbredirector.exe and some others, I couldn't see their computer screen... so I don't know what else they used, they managed to bypass the FRP, I was presented with the home screen! Yeah! The download of the OS took a little under an hour, but the bypass took mere minutes. I trust them to unlock, and do FRP bypass.
After that though, I noticed that the 32GB that's supposed to be there, ISN'T.
It is now only 8GB.
I've yet to hear back from them... But, I thought I'd ask here.
I was given a Stock ROM from Poland or something (I've the International model.) It is loaded with the usual bloatware that Samsung and Google hands out. I barely got enough room to sideload Super SU (Google Play wouldn't as the memory requirements weren't met.)
I tried to upgrade to Nougat 7.0 which did work, but I've no idea where the rest of the memory disappeared to.
Factory reset doesn't work, and I tried to free up some space by sideloading system/app/mover, and it fails, stating that "couldn't remount /system."
Has anybody else experienced this issue, and is there a fix for this?

Find stock rom with .pit file and flash in odin

I was given stock ROM 6.0, but I don't know if it has the .pit file... How would I know? I use the samtool to get the ROM from Samsung, wouldn't it have it? Please and Thanks again!

Also, does that determine whether or not we have 32GB VS 64GB? Or is there a physical limitation? There must be, but just curious if I load the .pit for a 64GB device, could I be THAT lucky?

Frp bypass Oreo Samsung Galaxy s6 plus
I’m sorry I’m posting to wrong area but I can’t figure out how to post I think I’m having a brain overload Can someone please help me I’ve spent the last three days trying to bypass FRP lock on the Samsung S6 plus for my daughter because she got scammed and got a phone that was in a lock on craigslist I have tried every and all forms where I seem to get stuck each time is downloading the driver for Samsung USB driver it downloads from all the sites but none of them work or show up in my device manager so all the methods are impossible at that point what is it that I’m doing wrong.

The .pit file does indeed determine 32gb or 64gb... without It, 8gb. Also I have a copy of.... wait... is that the S6 Edge +? If so I have original stock with proper. Pit file. If not, you have to keep looking... hope this helps.

downgrading problem oreo to nougat s8

hello,
i managed to get the phone back to get in download mode. stock everything, no root whatsoever. my goal is to root my phone and i have experience doing so but i guess i was just unlucky this time.
i tried searching allover the internet for a fix, searching xda etc.
first off: my device is running oreo 8.0 and it's type is G950FX.
I want to downgrade to 7.0 because FRP lock is on, i did turn on oem lock before starting however i am unable to log in to my old google account connected to my phone.
when i try to flash any bootloader i get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1. i tried almost any trick in the book like downloading 7.0 from sammobile, flashing using odin.
the things i run into when flashing are:
1.can't flash the bootloader, probably because of frp lock.
2. when i don't flash the bootloader for 7.0 i get dm-verity error 0x2.
3. when i only flash 8.0 oreo pda & csc and then flash 7.0 pda on top i do get to boot but i get encryption interrupted error.
4. i am able to boot in 8.0 but can't get past the frp.
i'm out of answers, i really hope anyone can help me out of this situation as i want to use my phone.
Help is much appreciated!
edit: i tried flashing multiple versions of android 7.0 but i keep getting sw rev check fail bootloader device 2 binary 1
i basicly want to do this, a downgrade: https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...s8-plus/878062-how-downgrade-oreo-nougat.html
the problem is i didn't sign out of google or samsung accounts before resetting to factory

You can't. You have a new bootloader v2.
A simple search gives you this answer, if you have u2 and CRED bootloader installed you are stuck. No way to go back anymore.

i'm on u2 and CRED bootloader. i did search for this indeed but i didn't want to give up.
do you think there will be ever be a way to get back into my phone again?

If you have FRP lock good luck. I haven't seen a way yet.

I know it's been 5 months and you've probably either gotten rid of the phone or it's sitting in a dusty bin somewhere, but have you tried Galaxy Reaper? It's a pretty legit FRP bypass tool.
Edit: Scratch that. It's apparently been patched since I last knew it to work. Just wanted to double check, and sure enough..

Downgrade to unlock FRP lock?

Coming from GNote 3, totally new to LG devices.
Locked Verizon G6 V988T has Google FRP lock, trying to remove it.
After going through frp unlock process and getting to file manager, bringing up settings I am getting a reduced version of settings. Options are wifi and data only; and if you click more there's only bluetooth and hotspot. And that's it. So I have no way of enabling install from unknown sources, so that I can install slide.
When I use the other method where in chrome you search for a business number, hit call and it brings up the dial pad so that you can dial service menu, there's no response. Even dialing imei does not bring the imei ID number. Seems this is disabled too.
I have no idea what software version is installed currently but it seems those two options/routes have been disabled/blocked. So my thinking is to downgrade to 7.0, follow the FRP unlocking procedure. Then install TWRP, root it.
I cannot properly ID the correct older kdz file for this phone.
1-Can you guys confirm if my steps are the way to go in order to be able to unlock frp, and,
2-a link to the correct kdz version for this phone?

Took a while/couple of tries but mission accomplished.

Did I just brick my device trying to root?

Hello, I really messed this up... I haven't rooted a phone in over 5 years, but just ordered a moto g7 from google fi because I wanted to play around with rooting and rooted apps again.
Setup:
-got moto drivers, adb, set developer mode, unlocked bootloader
I had tried to just root using the "simple?" method of using Magisk with the lolinet firmware files. I used the PPO files in the Official/FI dir. I thought that I had seen an error when flashing the magisk modified boot.img that there was an issue or that it wasn't valid, I (stupidly) assumed that this was like the notification you get after unlocking bootloader about invalid key or whatever. When trying to boot up it would just keep boot looping, and I went into hard panic mode... I saw other people had mentioned using retail or retus firmware on the google fi variant, so I proceeded to try to just flash those stock boot.img files after the fi one hadn't worked. I then finally got it to boot up fully, I don't even remember which firmware it was (retail maybe) and felt a little bit better about it, but had also seen that some people had said it wouldn't have the full functionality of network switching if I wasn't using the fi firmware. So... back to the fi firmware...
I was able to get it booting up on stock fi firmware, and to be honest I should have stopped there and given up on root, because I'm guessing I would have been perfectly fine up to that point... I again tried magisk modified fi firmware to no avail, and was having trouble getting back on stock fi for some reason... I followed a post to reset to stock and relock bootloader ***I'm guessing this was my major fault***, I must not have been paying enough attention to the command prompts doing this, but I think this is where I messed something up royally. It was able to boot, but then it said it had updated software to the 'PPOS' variant which I thought was strange... After attempting to reflash stock fi and then magisk fi boot.img it is failing and won't even get to boot loop.... when trying the slew of commands to flash full stock firmware I keep getting issues with the "_a" partition being not found.
At this point I can't get to recovery, or boot after attempting to flash a number of times. Any help would be appreciated, even if it is just a confirmation that I f'd this device and to stop wasting my time and give up on ever having a rooted device again lol.
Thanks for your time, and let me know if there is additional info to provide that may help.
Edit: Current status:
"Start Up Failed: Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the software Repair Assistant."
in Bootloader logs, but I don't know what software repair assistant it is referring to, i have tried connecting to pc.
Edit 2: Or I'm just a complete idiot and needed to re-unlock bootloader with the code like previous... which I totally should have known, but again, I'm an idiot...
So, now that I've got it booting up, do I attempt reflashing a magisk img or just admit I'm too stupid to do this? Or should I go with twrp which seemed like more steps and potentially more issues to run into?
Sorry for the scare and immense stupidity!
