I dug up an old S5 Neo from the chaos of my room, and I forgot the lock screen PIN. How do I unlock the phone without a hard reset or expensive software?
Edit: I tried to flash TWRP via Odin in fastboot, but that got me the error message "custom recovery blocked by frp lock"

You forgot to enable OEM unlock, now you have to flash stock rom using odin, and do it again, this time don't forget to enable OEM unlock, how are you going to mess around with your system, when you forgot to unlock bootloader when rooting?
no, i am still in download mode on the samsung. Flashing twrp just didn't work. Phone is still working ok. I am just getting this msg when i am trying to flash twrp with Odin.

You need to enable OEM unlock and than reflash TWRP in Odin disable auto rebot in option after finishing insert your baterry.
All,
I had flashed Elite ROM v4 and it was successful except messing up on MagiskSu where one application still detected the phone is rooted. To solve the problem, decided to flash it again without realizing OEM lock is off - forgotten to activate before start flash. Now, after wipe everything using TWRP,reboot to continue the flashing procedure, the phone is unable to boot into TWRP recovery and only able to boot to stock recovery and fastboot. Unfortunately the FRP is lock and I could not not flash TWRP again. Any advice?

I have tried that i boot into recovery it only wipes data. i tried bypassing the google verification screen go into settings and tried factory resetting the device it reboots but boots back up with the same thing..bootloader is locked , secure mode is on device stats that its locked . i even tried fastboot methods to try unlock bootloader or wiping the device but it doesnt allow me because its the device is in locked state...

I think your SOL. can you get ahold of the guy to get you logged in?
So my device is basically bricked at the moment. I flashed U4 binary Combination Firmware. Combination Firmware boots up just fine. I factory reset while on Combination Firmware and flashed stock ROM. Still gets stuck on recovery screen with dead android mascot. Since FRP Lock is on, I can't flash TWRP from Odin either.
My guess is I need to find a way to enable OEM unlocking from Combination Firmware but there's no option for OEM Unlocking while on Combination Firmware. And yes I enabled developer options.
Any suggestions?

I just installed elite rom by hassan mirza yesterday but at the night the Pin lock just got bugged, Any pin is not working, I opened TWRP so i can delte lock but it was unable to mount/write on internal storage, I decided to flash orange fox using twrp but when i rebooted into recovery after flashing it did not work, It got into a boot loop, the phone was still able to turn on but the pin was bugged it was showing incorrect, Soo i deciced to flash a new twrp using fastboot but i got an error REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED, which was most probably due to locked frp, Bootloader is unlocked but frp locked, i also tried to flash stock recovery but same errror, everything is F****ed up, I decided to install stock usign dload but was unable to find every link is broken, I fount one which was for Huawei p8 lite which is quite same but i was unable to flash using d load it says software not installed, i tried everything, I guess if I unlock frp everything can be fixed, is there any way to remove it, I do have the accesss to google accounts, Secondly another method would be resetting so pin gets removed but when there is no recovery and no access to phone setting, i tried google ADM but it simple tries to boot into recovery, the third can be removing pin if there is any way in fastboot mode, IDK what to do, I can't get a new phone. Want this back ,Maybe there is some PIN for this elite rom which can be used when it is bugged
