Hello. I need your help. I bought myself not a new gm-g9750(snapdragon 855). It turned out to be broken. Namely: FRP, no IMEIs are displayed, when I try to reinstall the firmware on it, everything is reinstalled, I installed many different firmwares and reached the 6th bootloader. But IMEI never showed up. I cannot install any other firmware other than 9750 due to FRP blocking. I cannot remove FRP blocking due to the fact that all standard bypass methods require downloading programs from their samsung store, and he, in turn, swears about the lack of IMEI in the phone. What else can i do to repair IMEI or reset FRP?

A familiar story to some of you on the forums,
I recently bought a new s5 on Craigslist hoping it would be a no hassle deal. I checked the IMEI and it was not reported as a stolen phone. Ended up factory resetting the phone and of course REACTIVATION LOCK screwed the pooch. Of course the previous owner had no idea there was the lock on and they don't even know the email that was used. I've looked up videos on how to bypass it, to no avail.
Upon further research, I've established that the new Verizon update OE1 is on the phone which seems to me I'm even more deep than I would have thought. I know there is very little support into this update since it is very new at the moment, but I've tried re flashing this update (OE1) as well as previous updates (OE1 won't let you downgrade). I've tried re partitioning via the pit file here, again to no avail. I have also tried to make a backup of a friend's phone (exact same model and update) where the setting was disabled and restoring it on my phone (via Kies). Unfortunately, Kies won't let you restore the "email account settings" on a different device (if they could be restored on this phone maybe I could use his samsung account to unlock the reactivation lock). I have even tried calling Samsung and stopped in a Verizon store to see if they could do anything but they could not.
Soooo...
Is there a way around this(like a bug/glitch/exploit on other [non-Verizon] phones)?
Would it be possible to restore my friend's email account info by "tricking" Kies into thinking it's the same phone (if it doesn't require an IMEI swap or other questionable means)? Or by restoring his info from another backup/restore program? And would it be worth a try?
Could I flash a different bootloader or download mode from a different carrier to get it to work?
I figure devs are working on a root solution for this update so maybe in the future?
Or am I truly just SOL and out a couple hundred dollars??
Have you tried calling Verizon's tech line? The people in the stores rarely know anything but basic things about the phones. The people on the tech line generally have access to software to make changes to the phone remotely too.
I need help with restoring samsung galaxy s7 SM-G930P to its original state. My main goals is to unlock SIM card and that i can use KNOX and OTA. I bought it as a used phone,wich was showing "custom" and unlock sign when it boots up. But in system,it was saying that its SM-G930V. KNOX warranty is still 0x0,i flashed it with SM-G930P firmware and that locked my SIM card. And when i tried usink KNOX it said that because of custom os being installed i cant use it. Is there any way to bypass that and to use official samsung updates,becouse they are also not working. And also Android secret codes are not working. I tried flasing again and did not help. Model is with snapdragon processor and also software is showing slightly different IMEI from the DEC code on the back of my phone. I used IMEI online converters and found out the difference. Any help is appreciated.

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.
Okay, so i'm out of the XDA world for a couple years, technology probably changed a lot, so no blaming for being noob etc.
So, i lost my phone on 25.12.2020, FindMyDevice and FindMyMobile are completely useless, all their functions are unusable for some reason.
I started panicking really, so i checked on some videos online if people can bypass the password and use the phone somehow. Surprise, it is easy AS FVCK! All they did was go in recovery and just factory reset it. On top, 3rd day i changed my Google password (which i will never regret in my life), so probably the phone is out of my Google account as well.
So my last hope is that i remember i was trying to root my phone and i couldn't. It was from Verizon. Unrootable. It was some bootloader v4 or some ****. Not really sure.
TLDR, Unrootable S10+ with unlockable bootloader, is it able to factory reset? Wipe it out and bypass the password?
It is always possible to boot to recovery mode and erase the device there. However, deleting the entire storage does not mean that the device is usable after that. When a device is not 'officially' wiped; it is mandatory to log in with the last google account that was on the device. It does not matter that you have changed your Google password. This securityfeature is called frp lock. Unfortunately, frp can also be circumvented when a device is rooted. But in order to be able to root, the bootloader must be unlocked and that is only possible if the device is unlocked. Your device cannot be used by others. But as you mentioned before, FindMyDevice did not work on your device so this lock is of no use to you. The only thing you can do is register the imei number as stolen and then wait for the device to be sold and checked.

First of all Hello everyone, my phone version is SM-N950F and CSC XXV
I disabled OEM by accident, now i have that message on my phone, so i tried flashing it with ODIN and an updated version of my phone, but i keep getting Fails no matter the firmware i use, for example "sboot.bin fail", can anyone help me ?
It's probably too late now, but for anyone with the same problem samsung has a protection so that if somebody steals your phone and your bootloader is unlocked they can't just flash a custom fw to use the phone. FRP lock is simply a lock activated whenever you have a google account linked with the phone so to disable it just remove the google account, or reset the phone, but be sure to do it from within android and not from the recovery.
