I recently purchased a used A20 (SM-S205DL) the previous owner's child locked the device and forgot the pin. I was told it didnt have FRP activated so i mistakenly hard reset it without checking odin mode first. Now i have no way to set up the device or enable usb debugging. I have firmware and some basic knowledge of flashing via odin. Although i have only used it to unbrick a device roughly 5 years ago. How can i either remove FRP via odin mode or download mode without usb debugging turned on. I have no preference on how to gain access to the device. If frp cannot be removed could the device be completely wiped and made into a basic Linux device? I have no preference on what is done i only want to have some use out of it
Factory Reset Protection exists to prevent the use of stolen devices. Unfortunately, this can become rather inconvenient in other circumstances where for some reason the Google account the device was locked on isn't available.
While FRP unlock services exist, we here on XDA tend to err on the side of caution due to the potential for criminal activity.
Try flashing vbmeta.img (UNLOCK BOOTLOADER)
Try this:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.
Hello everyone, I got a phone Galaxy A 20 and called Boost mobile to sim unlock the phone, what they did. When done I factory reseted the phone. Now when I try to add an account I got a "your phone was factory reset., type the password to...

So, this has been giving me lots of trouble. The phone is locked with FRP. (By the way I am a complete noob). I tried to flash(root? what is it called?) the phone with CF-Auto-Root but it gave me a "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By FRP Lock" in the Odin mode. I tried flashing with TWRP also and I got the same thing. I obviously cannot access the phone to remove the "OEM protection", which is apparently the fix. Also, excuse me if I'm going about this the wrong way and there is a much simpler method of removing the FRP from my phone. Thanks
Download the Smart Swtich and connect phone with USB
Make sure all samsung USB drivers are installed
Then start SS and press MORE button and select Emergency Software Recovery wait about 1Hour Maybe less to firmware download and the phone will boot but u need to enter your gmail and password to acess it
Press Thanks if it works
Cheers
I've never messed with a phone before and much of the jargon is new to me, so bear with me. I am in possession of a J5 that was issued by an employer who I am no longer with and would like to see if I can use it as a secondary phone or perhaps even replace my current one, but to do this I want to factory reset it first. It has AirWatch installed and has many settings and apps inaccessible, it is extremely restricted. I have looked around on the internet and most options for factory resetting that I have came across so far involve settings being activated that I can't access, so I was wondering if anyone has any input as to what options I could try.
These are some issues I have with reset methods I have read about so far:
Upon trying a factory reset, I get the "MDM does not allow factory reset".
"Safe mode" seems to be disabled.
The google account on it was not made by me and I don't have any password for it.
No unenroll option available in Airwatch.
Can't enable automatic factory reset, it's greyed out.
A method I read about here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/solution-to-mdm-allow-factoryreset-t3327319 involves getting to the encryption settings, which I can't.
MTP USB device fails when plugged in to windows.
SmartSwitch won't connect, it just sits at the "Welcome" screen asking me to connect my device.
Odin requires USB debugging to be enabled, which I can't access from the settings menu.
Any ideas, or is it just basically a brick?
I didn't realize these tablets had a lock out feature where you would need the previous user to login first before you can login with your Google account. I'm trying to talk to the previous user who was logged in (actually 2 owners before me, device had broken screen that I fixed) but they aren't responding. So how can I unlock this and bypass this stupid lock out feature? I've been trying to follow the guides here to unlock the bootloader with no luck. I can no longer "enable usb debugging" because I'm locked out of Android. I can access recovery and fastboot fine. Any help??
Nevermind I figured out how to bypass the Factory Reset Protection!! For anyone wondering, just search youtube for how to bypass it for whatever android version you have
Hey!
In the company that I work an ex-collaborator left the Samsung Galaxy A20e he was using professionally. During the time he used it, he probably activated FRP, now we want to unlock the phone to give to another collaborator. I've tried to do factory reset at first when I didn't know about FRP.
Now I'm seeing some tutorials that says that we can remove the FRP lock, but I need USB debugging and I can't access the system to activate it.
Is there something I can do?
Same problem as here:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on thos device.

Hello everyone.
My A510F device was bricked many years ago and the shop "service" that time said to me that the processor is "defective" - no chance to restore the device. Therfore it was sleeping in the shelf. Now - with a little bit more knowledge - I tried to re-animate the device. And I realized that the processor neither is dead...
After plugging the device to power the error screen (https://www.blogtechtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/An-error.jpg) occured.
The SMART SWITCH software did not help because there is no backup of that device existing anymore.
So therefore I unbricked it with Hagards "Frp HiJacker". Now the device is starting normally again - but needing the former google account verification.
FRP-removing by Hagards software failed. As well failed with SamFW.com FRP tool.
And restarting after factory reset the device statement occured that the reset was "not authorized" - so FRP failed.
And the normal Google verifying way does not work as well because the former account does not exist anymore for long time, as well as not the phone number anymore is existing. Restoring the google account by google support failed also - "not possible anymore" because cancelling account is "too long ago".
So I still need to bypass the Google Account verifivation for this device. And I do not really like to pay for FRP removing services like 4uKey & Co. because needing it for one device only.
Therefore my question:
So is there any other possibility for FRP removing in device download mode by using ODIN software?
Is there any flashing file especially for FRP removing?
Device details:
Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 [A510F]
Model SM-A510FZKADBT
CRC code DBT
Android 7
Accu battery reloaded 100% (...of course...)
The device is NOT rooted and as well I sadly have no access to any "normal" Android setting possibilities at the device. Therefore adjusting "OEM Unlock" or "USB debugging" is not possible.

I know it - but did not try this. Because it is another tool needing payment (like 4uKey & Co.) - but not really worth for unlocking "only" one device ...
Is it possible to ENABLE USB DEBUGGING from any external way? Because I'm not able to come into internal settings menue ...
