Heya,
I bought a samsung tab A T580 from market place, it was working fine and then it went really slow so i did a factory wipe on it but now its asking me to put in the original google account, the person has vanished from market place so I can't get them to help. I've looked on google and youtube but i'm confusing myself with it all so i was hoping someone could guide me through what i need to do?
I don't have a windows computer, i am on a mac
Thanks
would a chromebook work? if not, it'll take me a few days to borrow a laptop off my sister

hello xdadev,
i really need your help. I am a newbie in android world [just purchased my first android device] last month [samsung galaxy tab p6800]. since then, i was really excited to explore android world and its features where I was led to this site.
now, heres my problem: just this afternoon, at first, i used my wifi to access a shopping mall internet connection. but minutes after turning my wifi off, when i turned it on again to connect to another network, i was surprised that it wont start and when i open the settings menu, under it says error. im really worried.
had my unit restored to factory settings but still no changes. Rooted my galaxy tab but today, i unrooted it thinking that the rooting caused the trouble.
im also hoping to update my tab to ICS but with this problem, im really stuck! i dont know how to access my apps in the appstore.
is this a firmware error or a hardware problem? please help me. my tab helps me a lot.
thanks in advance. im willing to add some details if you could help me.:crying:

My friend has recently passed away. He owned a Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G531H. The family wants to recover the pictures and contacts from the phone but the phone is password locked, with stock recovery and the download mode is FRP locked and last but not the least wifi and 3g is turned off. Please kindly suggest solutions. Thanks!
Sorry for your friend. My deepest condolences. :'(
I don't know any solution for that. Sorry
If he by some chance had ADB enabled, you could probably find a computer that he authorized and use that. You can probably check by running 'adb devices', pretty sure it will show the device but obviously you wouldn't be able to interface with it. From there on you just need to find a computer he's authorized prior.
Side note: Unfortunately, ADB isn't supported in recovery mode on samsungs, so you can't rip the photos(and/or break password) using that.
To gain internet access you *might* be able to use a OTG ethernet adpater. I've never used one, I don't know if this device supports it, and I don't know if you can just plug it in without any user input. But I think this option is worth looking into. Then you can reset the password from his google account or something
That's all I have for now, hopefully you can them photos
OK guys, here's the problem. Got a Verizon S7 at 7.0 nugat here FRP locked. A friend of my daughter gave her the S7 to use while I was fixing her Iphone screen. She had a screen lock on it that she couldn't remember the swipe pattern to so we factory reset the phone. Problem now is she doesn't remember any of her google passwords to set it back up. She had 2 different google accounts on the phone. First account we were able to get the code sent to another email address to reset the password after entering answering a security question, entered the code, but the phone said it couldn't confirm her identity with that email so the phone remained locked. Guessing she never linked it to her google account. Second account she got a "last password remembered being used on this account" option and used an old password. was then asked for account recovery question, answered correctly, and was asked again for an alternate email to confirm her identity and ran into the same problem as the first account.
I was going to try some of the ODIN or RealTerm solutions but I can't get the phone to be recognized in windows 7 or 10 on 2 different PCs. I've reinstalled Samsung drivers multiple times. My s6, wife's s9, and my Tab S2 all connect fine with the same USB cords and same USB ports (one of the cords being an original Samsung cable). And curiously, this is the only Galaxy Sx that I have messed with that doesn't reboot after a factory reset with NFC already on. Is it possible there is an option in settings that turned off file transfers prior to the reset, and that is why it is not connecting in widows with the USB?
At this point the only option I can think of to try is the HushSMS to get chrome to open prior to account set up to install an APK. Is this actually a legit solution, and if so, wouldn't the phone have to have been setup to sideload apps prior to the reset?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I have a former coworker who is foreign, who has me help him with tech stuff among other things. Today he asked me to fix his sister's tablet, a Galaxy Tab A (sm-t580) which wasn't functioning correctly.
understandably, the tablet had its language set for their native language and due to the issues it was having we could not get the language changed so i could work on the tablet properly. The next best course of action was to reset the tablet. so I did.
now comes the issue: my friend and his family primarily use iOS devices, bought the tablet used and never set up their own google account on the device.
So it is FRP locked and nobody knows the necessary account info.
At first I told him that the tablet was useless now, but after a little digging saw that this was something i might be able to get around and fix for him.
Digging further, all I found was conflicting or missing instructions on how to properly do this........
A boot into recovery mode reveals that the current firmware on the device is T580UEU4CSC1
this means that the device has android 8.1 on it and the information i could gather seems to indicated that FRP bypass is more difficult on android 7 and later, but that is where the info seems to dry up. I couldn't find anything specific on what exactly i need to do to get it working again, or whether specific firmware/files needs to be used on this device.
Would really appreciate any info or direction you could provide on this. Thanks.
It has become super hard to bypass FRP on Samsung devices (Not even Combonation files work anymore), If you can prove that you purchased it you can send it back to Samsung and they can unlock it. You're only other option is buying a Octoplus/Jtag/Riff box and using the FRP unlock option on the PC software.

On some devices yes combo files work but not on ALL devices so maybe on this particular device that works.
Hey Everyone,
I have been bashing my head against a wall trying to get this phone unlocked, a friend has passed away and no one knows his PSW. The phone houses information that will help the family.
What I have been able to get access to over the course of time i have spent with all devices.
Emails, laptops, Samsung account.
He was good with securing his passwords but I was able to get through with some persistence.
The phone is linked to his Samsung account and when i go onto: https://findmymobile.samsung.com/
i see it however when i try to see any options I get the following:
"Your service provider doesn't support the Find My Mobile service on your phone.
If you've lost a device, you can find it with SmartThings Find in the SmartThings app.
SmartThings Find is only supported on devices with Android O or higher."
smart things gives me absolutely nothing. I tried to bypass the service provider by spoofing the wifi from his home and got him connected but that has given me no further progress.
I also checked if he had developer options on so i could ADB into the phone but again no luck with that. I am down to "3 attempts left" with no option to reset password.
Any help would be super appreciated.
Also have an iPad that i cant figure out the password to but I am guessing that thing is done, and the data cannot be removed from it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

one of the forum members was able to attempt to assist but we did not get far I have not seen a message like this in the samsung account ever and yet it always pops up . we reflashed the phone to a ATT variant and attempted to see if it can be found on that network and we got the same results.
I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place I would love to help the family but I know within 3 attempts the phone will be wiped.
If anyone has any other ideas I am all ears.
bump plz help
