Alright, i am new to making threads, but i recently found a reset galaxy S6 edge in a casino, i am trying to get pass the FRP (factory reset protection). I have tried to use multiple tools, most of which tried to send a call to the phone which does not work because it does not have a sim card. as the title says, the model number is SM-G925T. another thing i have tried that didn't work is flashing firmware before the December of 2015 update with Odin and it fails. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
I'm pretty sure "found devices" fall under the same auspices as thieving. It's understandable given the new security measures put in place by google that some one accidentally locks themselves out ... but just to outright state "hey I found this thang and cant get into it" won't solicit much sympathy from the folks who may know how to help.

Afternoon all, first time post-er, long time reader.
I'm tired of waiting for the official update from Orange for 2.2 so I have taken it upon myself to root my phone and unlock it, with the vain hope that this will allow my Kies to provide me with the update.
I have successfully rooted my phone as I have a little ninja man in my apps, and I have downloaded the SGS Unlock App from DaGentooBoy, but it tells me my unlock code is 00000000. This isn't correct as I have tried it, twice, with a 3 sim card and I only have 1 attempt left. Anyone have any ideas what has gone wrong? I am new to this, and although I'm not afraid to try most things, I would rather have a straight forward response or link provided so that I am filled with confidence
I have seen some posts about an Odin method, but I have no idea what that is
Any ideas??? Please??
If your talking about unlocking and going to a diff. Company I would call t mobile and tell then I bought the phone for someone else and need to unlock the phone as they are with a diff company maybe they won't charge if its a gift for someone else I mean you already bought the phone so they got your money
Unlocking so you can use other provider's sim cards and flashing a different rom are two different things. If your Orange branded phone isn't allowing you to update you can do this kies registry hack

If you're looking at unlocking as well you can check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045, or whatever other methods you can find to unlock. I read a thread on here about the unlock codes for the galaxy series actually being stored in the system directory somewhere but I can't find the thread. I'll update this post if I can find it again.
Edit - Found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867331 apparently it wasn't specific to the Galaxy series, just samsung in general. Hope it works for you.
Thanks for the help people. It hasn't worked for me, but thats because I've no idea what I am doing!! Guess I'll just wait for Orange to send the official update.........
My U.S. Cell TP2 won't security unlock when I run the unlocker I purchased. I put a ticket but it's been over 12 hours or so. I've tried to do just about everything I can think of and have been flashing back and forth between ROM's about 15 times now. I understand I must be patient but can someone please help me so I can use my phone I did pay and I will be happy to do the remote unlock too if I can get someone to just tell me what the problem is. I'm a little skeptical because I thought this was supposed to be guaranteed to work. I did manage to change the Radio by flashing to a Sprint ROM and then reflashing the ROM back but that was it, still won't let me use and keeps reverting back to U.S. Cell. I am a noob but I am not that much of a noob. I think I pretty well understand what I am doing here and how things works and have spent a lot of time reading. thnx if u can help me. It is greatly appreciated. The error it keeps giving me is: "Device in flight mode or IMEI must be purchased" (Device is not in flight mode)
I was able to get it registered to a brand new T-mobile sim card I purchased. That doesn't explain why another currently active sim card I was using from a friend didn't work though. I never was able to use/install the unlocker. I would like to know if you can run the unlocker multiple times or would it give you an error message? Has anyone tried this?
I'm still experimenting. So this is of course subject to change depending on how confused I find out I am
Thanks for having me as a member. I am a noob and do not understand much of what I have read the past few days. I felt this forum was the best place to post. If you can help me, thanks. If your local to Richmond, VA, even better. :good: If you run a business that can help me, feel free to send me your info. :fingers-crossed:
I had an ipod touch 1 that died and I purchased a samsung galaxy tab 3 model sm-t217s from a co worker who loves all things wireless and sprint powered. I discovered 2 card slots and saw one was a sim card. I promptly returned it to my coworker who said they didnt use the tablet anymore and had another phone. I advised them to call Sprint and see if it needs to be returned and if they needed to do anything that a reset of the tablet sold to me.
The tablet works ok, did a lot of updating and wants a sim card.I enabled developer mode or menu in settings and can get a lot of extra data like imei, hex, meid, mac id, etc, etc, etc.
Question:
Ok, If possible can in theory this tablet work on straight talk, wallet pop or some pay as you go data service ? Yes or No? and which one, which one do I need to buy?
What does flash mean?
What does unlock mean?
Do I need a sim card before attempting to unlock?
Do I need to root it?
Reading the forums in searching other than enable developer I tried to "upgrade" the OS on the tablet. I downloaded oden 3.09 and "installed" twrp2.7 and or cwm try 15. I got a boot menu when I hold down the volume and power button. I then tried 2 files I had uploaded to the sdcard Supersu 2.01 and the 2 abovementioned.
When I select install from sdcard It looks like it wants to install it, but I get some red text that says something to the effect signature invalid, verification failed, etc. I do not have it word for word. I found another thread here about that and the solution was to use cf root. What is cf root and do I need to do anything with it?
Thanks for your help. I feel like an idiot as I cant figure this out of get this to work as I had purchased a used samsung note 10 2012 model and successfully installed 4.4.2, but reverted to the stock os as the samsung crap made the stylus more useful.
PS, Im not a robot.
You can't bring it to Straight Talk, but I'd recommend bringing it to FreedomPop. You need to get a SIM card, but you can buy that off of Ting.
SIM unlocking won't really do any good. I did that on mine and it did nothing for me lol.
You won't be able to flash much, since there aren't many ROMs out for it. I personally used stock until I recently flashed Negalite.
Have been attempting to help out a nephew of mine.
He preformed a factory reset on edge 6 phone and wound up getting locked out by the Google account/frp.....
His phone is on Marshmallow EPF1 version of android.
I've tried the methods I've come across so far, while researching information on it online, even though those methods were for older firmware just sort of hoping for a miracle but to no avail.
Am also a little surprised as to there being no apparent way to downgrade from EPF1 so as to be able to attempt the methods on the versions of android that they are meant for .... just because I own a note 4 and there's been ways found to do so from the current firmware for it.
I am just eagerly seeking if there's any possible way, whether free or for pay perhaps to bypass or undo the frp lock on it, and save the day ... for him.
Any and all advice would be immensely appreciated.
:crying:
Had this problem and figured it out couple of hours ago.

Problem Solved!!
All I have to say is thank you a thousand times over to the guy who helped me out over at
If you're locked out of your device and find yourself stuck on newer firmware with no possibility of doing anything to get back into it ... ... I can guarantee you can trust him and the service is very affordable.
Just amazing!

Ive been rooting since my old Samsung Galaxy 4 using very early versions of Cyanogenmod, Towelroot, Odin and other tools. As recent as this summer I took my older Samsung Tab A while in quarantine and while using TWRP I flashed it and put Leneage on it and love it.
I have an old Verizon Google Pixel XL 2 I want to unlock, root, and repurpose. Here are the hardware details -
- Taimen:11/RP1A.201005.004.A1/6934943
- Android 11 security update Oct 5 2020
- Serial, IMEI and other data available upon request on a case by case basis
I have tried everything I could find on XDA and I find myself the victim of every dead end possible all leading back to the OEM unlocking refusing to stay enabled. Without getting too tl:dr, I've tried all the fastboot this, and critical that, and nothing. I made sure it's fully factory reset with no sim card as well as skipping all the setup prompts to include no pin codes, biometrics, or Google accounts. Wifi is off, Bluetooth is off, usb debugging on, and the latest drivers, OTA img, the latest platform-tools, and the latest version of Android Studio.
The furthest I've been able to get is by using
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.phone
to enable OEM unlocking for a brief time before it goes back to being shaded out.
I'm leaving no rock unturned.
I can fill in any details and answer virtually any question clearly and with as much detail is requested. I'm not some kid or out-of-touch novice who's unable to answer basic questions or pay the respect to follow up. I didn't want to hijack other posts as it's a personal pet peeve of mine and hope others do the same for this post. I'm humbly asking for some assistance realizing what I don't know but can't figure out what I need to know.
Whatever support I receive I shall pay it forward within XDA.
Thank you!
No consistently successful method of bypassing the locked bootloader on a Verizon Pixel 2 XL has been found in the nearly four years this device has been around. There have been scattered reports of success, but most of those were due to an exploit discovered in an old version of the bootloader that has long since been patched.
You have done everything you could, and everything that anyone else with a Verizon device with a still-locked bootloader has done. Unfortunately, they've hit the same brick wall you have, and there is no way we know of to get past it.
