It seems like the downloads under settings just sit there when trying to download both the fido ready support and PayPal. I went to the playstore instead and downloaded PayPal, which worked fine. I can't seem to find the fido ready support though.
Did some research and it seemed that verizon pulled this option on the s5 earlier this year? Is that the case here?
Mine works but it resets itself every so often. What I mean is I'll set up my fingerprint with pay pal and days later or later that day it'll ask me to set up my fingerprint like I never did it. I know it's not the scanner because my lock screen works flawlessly. Maybe it's a bug. Probably needs a software update
Ok, so first, if I'm in the wrong place i apologise. S6, droid 6.0.1 Verizon G925VVRU4CPD2. In frp lockdown, due to. ...oh who cares, a hamster farted upwind or something. The problem is the frp is not the Google frp, I'm fine with that, it Is a Samsung variant that has decided to patch out Google s more egregious oopsies. Mostly, it never gets to any kind of TOS screen, and that knocks out most non OTG stuff. I can't find ANYTHING about non Google frp anywhere. Here's what I CAN do:
Keyboard on screens where you expect it
Managed to get to the regular wifi screen. Ie: can access wifi sharing and was able to connect to my note5. Stalled there
Keyboard languages do nothing unless there is a new hack I don't know about
Reflashed factory, no joy.
Never asks for Google account info, only Samsung account, and clicking on the "forgot" pops a screen saying to go to the sammy website, no links. Grrrrrrr
Able to access keyboard settings no effect other than i somehow managed to turn on the voice promoter in, in guessing here, Swahili. Yay.
The keyboard itself is the Samsung keyboard, not Google, and afaik it's the only one
The worst thing is that I appear to be the only person on earth with this problem. The only thing i can guess is the phone (Just noticed this) is "refurbished by asurion" I got this thing on the cheep to use as a pda don't care about the phone, but I'm about to float test the thing and my girlfriends hamster is going along for the ride.

Hi I solved the problem with a tool that made it myself, I take the phone the sboot of downloading the original firmware I have these sboot
for safe frp

I
Im hsving the same problem with samsung account frp not the google account. And i cant find any info on it.
I have been using Samsung Pay with with my Gear S3 for months and really became spoiled.
This week, a few days ago Samsung pay told me I had to run an update on my phone. After allowing unknown sources in Andr 7.1.2, it downloads, then comes to a Samsung screen with "Cancel" "Install" both look enabled.
When you press Install, nothing :crying:, hour or so later, trying diff things, nothing. For now I can no longer use Samsung Pay. Oh yea the "Cancel" link/button works just fine!
Really bummed!
=====
I am guessing it maybe the new "External Sources" feature ... ug.. it does not display or think that Samsung pay is an external source!
Just a guess, but explains why the "Install" link/button looks enabled... but does not work...
Are you rooted? Because the new Samsung Pay update doesn't allow root on your phone. I get the same kind of thing you are describing. Trying to find a workaround, but no luck yet.

Thx for the reply.
No, it took several attempts of uninstalling of "Samsung Pay" S-PAY , rebooting and finally I was able to get S-PAY to install from scratch. Of course I lost my Credit Cards that were validated, but that is a minor problem.
Not sure what was going on, never got any type of "External Sources" warning, etc... For what ever reason this update from Samsung did not go in easy on my Pixel XL...
Rooted Phones
============
You may have seen this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-pay-with-root/..
If not hope it helps. Basically I read somewhere else, you have to hide root when using Pay, then unhide... Ect... Sounds like a pain..
Wassup Guys,
I am currently running a custom rom on my rooted S20+ .
Everytime, when I try to buy an app in the Galaxy Store and it asks for my payment method (besides of credit card & store credits),
choosing PayPal and pressing the buy button leads to an error, telling me, that my action was an "unauthorized access".
This means, I can neither setup (log-in) into my PayPal account and buy apps in the galaxy store.
I tried to hide my root with MagiskHide for the Galaxy Store itself and Samsung Pass, but with no result.
Anyone an idea, how I can solve this issue?
I wanted to buy a few apps for my new galaxy watch, sadlythere is no other source or app store in order to install
Unfortunately the decision to root knowing that it is likely to break things related to samsung knox like samsung pay or even google pay etc. is something that should be considered prior to taking the plunge to unlock. Sometimes people find workarounds for certain things but its usually short lived as stuff ends up getting patched pretty quickly then the circle continues.
Well, I ended up writing the app developer an e-mail in order to get coupon codes for the installation.
I bought this Mi Pad 5 (EU version) in hopes to have multiple users to switch between.
There is an app, SwitchMe, which (I think) would solve my problems, but I just bought the damn thing and have no need to loose warranty just to unlock the bootloader and root it in order to use the beforementioned app.
The included solution from MIUI, second room, doesn't allow the second user, to connect to google. Nor easy way to switch between users (actually, easy way to switch to first user, but not back to second user, AND only while using the tablet and not from lock-screen).
The last thing I found on the internet was, to enable multiple users via developer options.
The way to enable multiple user is to turn off MIUI optimization. But that is not an option on my tablet. As in, there is no slider to swipe to off.
Have I missed anything? Are there any way to have multiple users on a freaking tablet in the 21st freaking century?
Save me! you wonderful super nerds!
Hello,
Try post #20 of this :
Cannot access Google
Hello, Just got the tablet, it was really quick. Ordered when it went for sale in Italy on Thursday and today Friday morning already received it. Maybe I'm one of the first to receive the tablet with Global ROM, but I'm going to ask anyway: I...
forum.xda-developers.com
I've had the same frustrations and can't for the life of me understand why Xiaomi would feel the compulsion to strip away Android's core multi-user stuff just to introduce a half-baked porrly thought out substitute. What if we're more than 2 in our household anyways ?
If the above suggestion kind of works for some google accounts, it won't for accounts supervised with family link. So if you wanted to share the tablet with a kid, registered as such, you're out of luck. I'm in the process of trying a custom ROM to get rid of MIUI, because I already can't stand the thing. And that makes me sad, because I thought such OEM nonsense had been left behind YEARS ago, and I can now see I was deeply mistaken :-(
So I have the pro version and I can connect to google just fine.
But when I go try it on the regular pad 5 yeah it can't connect both on second space and multiple users. Is it a rom issue maybe? that might get fixed?
Anyway.. to access multiple users try this:
1.Download Activity launcher from the play store.
2. Open the app and search for "multiple users".
Click on it and add users from there.
Extra step: press & hold on "multiple users" to create a shortcut to this menu to your home screen.
Make sure to enable Home screen shortcuts permission for the app first.
It's still inconvenient to use. Only way to access other profiles is from that settings menu.
And it won't connect to google, just wait and hit skip.

You can switch between the users using different passwords from the lockscreen. I'm using a different pattern for the second space.
You can switch to first and back to second user while using the tablet just you have to enable it from the settings. " add shortcut to home screen"
Also check the solutions on the mentioned thread above. I can see on post #24 someone got it connected to google on second space.
@Half Alive , you rock ! While I was waiting for Xiaomi to allow me to unlock the bootloader on my Pad 5, I tried your suggestion with Activity Launcher and, lo and behold, it worked ! I was able to add my son's Google account and family link is now doing its thing. Now, since the multiuser features are still there, why did Xiaomi jumped through hoops to hide them ? That still feels quite a bit dumb to me, but hey, as long as I can use them, I guess it'll do.
Thanks again !
I can confirm that the fix mentioned on the other thread is working to fix the login error on the second space Account. To solve the problem do the following:
* Go to Apps, show all
* Google Play Store -> uninstall updates
* Google Play Services -> uninstall updates (after this the app list disappear)
* You can go to the Play store and login
* Repeat for the other space if necessary
Thanks for the help

I posted my thread late December and unfortunately forgot all about it. Though I did have my dad and his wife staying over new year, so I was preoccupied.
Thank you for your replies and I will test the posted solution come dawn, and report back after that.
Thank you all for your contribution!
I am now a happy owner of a tablet with multiple users via second space. Not as polished as I would like it. But it works and I'm happy.
Thank you

Hi, can I have details on how you managed to get family link to work?
I tried to install my child's profile first but it wouldn't let me, kept hanging on family link manager. I also removed all accounts and added mine first and tried to set up multiple users but I couldn't set up the account. It would just loop on trying to contact Google. I also tried to uninstall updates and clear data on Google play and services without success.
Well, I ended up installing a phh GSI on it, because switching profiles was way too bothersome for everyday use in the end. So I can only try to remember, but I don't think I did anything other than what you said coupled with the trick mentionned by @Half Alive . I'm sorry I can't remember doing anything else :-/

Not a prob. Thanks anyway. I'll keep hacking away at it. Hopefully the MIUI 13 update sorts it. Otherwise I'll have to try an alternate rom too. Thanks.

Updated today to MIUI 13 Global version and.... not working. Again boot loop while configuring second space as a child's account
For anyone interested in setting up a managed child's account, I seemed to have figured it out. Take note, this is only for a single child's account on the Tab 5. Not for a tab being shared by two users.
When I first got the Tab, I set it up with a child's account and it was successful but I couldn't manage the account from family link and so tried to remove the accound and re add it but despite all the tricks above, it didn't work.
But this did work:
Totally factory reset the device and on the first boot set up the tab with the child's account. On this attempt everything went totally smooth (with no additional tricks). The account works fine and is totally managed by Family Link. Have been using it for almost a week smoothly.

With this particular option, one single child account, does it allow to install miui system updates? Tried with miui 12 with no luck

Yee, I updated to miui 13 a couple of weeks ago. No problem. But I did install family link on my phone to monitor the device. No problem on the update. All has been working smoothly.
