So an employee had to leave on short notice - he handed phone back but PIN locked and google account still on. Have no way of contacting ex employee.
Tried wiping phone via factory reset in safe mode. On restart it prompts to validate via Google account?
What is best way to root or totally wipe?
Thanks

You are FRP locked. Only way is to use the right credentials or bypass FRP.

Galaxy Tab S T-700 Lost unlock options
I have what seems to be a new one....The fingerprint scanner no longer boots at startup, The Alternative Password claims that I don't know it and I can't find the option to sign in with Google. Any suggestions????
I hadn't altered the software, Everything is still stock. I have VERY limited function thru a guest profile which will not allow any new apps nor access to most of the apps installed under my profile.
How about some kind of remote access?? Bypass the lock screen? I do have the right fingerprint, and the Alt PW ( I think, 90% sure). I have Team Viewer on everything else. Debugging is enabled. I have a good Google account. I also use Last Pass......
I'm another desperate noob. Please help.:crying:....
Try vol +home+power with the tablet off. Reboot into recovery, wipe data,cache and reboot. Second one odin 3.09 plus stock firmware from sammobile.com, boot in download mode and flash the firmware. Metod one will make you lose all your data, method 2 maybe will save your pesonal files (pictures, etc). 3rd method...samsung repair...you need proof of purchase , box and all the accesories. Good luck
Did you set up FIND MY MOBILE in Security settings. If so you can use it to unlock the lock screen with a code.

Search on youtube on how to bypass lockscreen before you factory reset.
Much Thanks!
In that I was "just playing" until I had the intestinal fortitude to root I went ahead with the factory reset.
Have any of you seen the loss of a sign in method before? Factory reset fixed it.... I wish I knew what caused it...
Threads again!
Signed,
Not so very desperate noob....

I assumed you reset your phone while it's still locked and you forgot your Google account, is this correct?
If yes, then sadly there's no way to unlock the phone without your former Google account, as far as I know.
This was made by Google to prevent theft on your phone as explained in http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/
And what about people like me who are the phone is locked by mistake?

Try pulling your sim card and resetting again. When it starts up DONT turn on internet.. When you get the "configuring your phone" screen use power and volume up 4 or 5 times then power and volume down 4 or 5 times.. If it doesnt work keep trying. I just randomly pressed the key combinations and it went to a "skip activation" option and bypass google FRP.. (i was stuck on the configuration screen and it didn't give the the chance to log into my account) Once your in ADD YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO THE PHONE AND RESET IT AGAIN.. youve just effectively took over the phone. Hope that helps..
Hi, I bought a Nexus 5X for a friend a few weeks ago and got it updated to Nougat. I used my own Google account to setup the phone and install some apps. Then, I removed the device from my Google account, factory reset it, and gave it to friend. When he switched it on, it asked to enter the original owner’s Google username and password, so I gave mine. But after logging in without any error message, the phone displays the same screen over and over. Asking to enter the original owner’s Google username and password. We tried to wipe user data in recovery mode also. But the same issue occurs. Anyone knows how to fix this? Please help.

Did you change the password on your google account.
If so, there will be 72hr lockout on that account for activations.
If you try to early, it resets the 72hr counter.
@minnix wait the 72 hrs as advised or check online for a current bypass method or flash the TOT with the LG Up tool as if your phone were bricked.

One other thing, the best thing to do to avoid factory reset protection is remove account from device as opposed to what you wrote (remove device from account)
Hi, there!
I heard there is a method for the S8+ where you can root your phone without tripping Knox. It isn't the best root method and it has its limitations, but it would do just fine for my needs.
Is there such method for the S9+?
Thanks!
Anyone?

And no developers are planning to create one, that we know of? I only need root to make Cerberus a system app. In case the smartphone is stolen and gets hard reset, the app will still be there, hidden. But without root it seems impossible.

KNOX is an e-fuse, once tripped that's it forever, no reversing, nothing devs can do
FRP lock is your hard reset security, unless they know your Google login they cannot access the device anyway
And if they have the knowledge to flash certain firmwares and bypass the lock, your system root app wouldn't be of any use either anyway, so....

That's very interesting. Can't believe I never heard of this before.
Will the device actually get wiped and then ask for my Google account or will it ask for my Google account before getting wiped? If the first option I mentioned is true, then Cerberus will be gone and I still won't be able to locate my cellphone in case it gets stolen, I'm assuming.

It will get wiped first, it asks for the Google account because it was wiped from recovery and not from inside of Android, meaning anyone could have done it
It will not allow anyone past the Google account request, similar to when iPhones are locked to iCloud, you can wipe it as many times as you like but it will always request the Google account
For example, I steal your phone with Cerberus installed, I cannot access your phone so the most likely thing I`ll try is factory reset from recovery, this will wipe the phone and request your Google account login to access it again, which I do not have
Next thing I would try (If I knew about it) was flash stock firmware over the top, which will wipe again this time removing your Cerberus app, but again it will not prevent the Google login request
Final thing I would try would be FRP bypass to get past your Google account login, and if they manage that they have access to your phone, but it is wiped and Cerberus is gone
End of the day, no mod/app will survive the phone being flashed as the system partition is replaced with stock again, and the wipe will reset the data partition where user apps and data are
Best thing to do is enable the Google security settings for find my phone, lock and erase, and enable it to send GPS of last location when the battery is getting low, that way you can track it online until it is turned off/wiped
Hi guys, here is the topic:
I am setting a trap so that if I get stolen or my phone is lost, whoever has it will be in my hands, but I need some "edges to be purposely cutted".
For this, I would like to disable FRP (factory reset protection)
For those who do not know is that protection that when giving the factory reset the system asks you to enter a google account that has been previously linked.

I would like to know if there is any way for me to disable this protection with my cell phone working normally (without having to format the phone for this)
(If there is no way to do this without having to format, please i would like to know how to remove even if i have to format)

If you disable FRP, the thief won't be in your hands lol. The phone will be in the hands of the thief, so they'll be able to do whatever they want with it. Including re-flashing the stock ROM and using it normally, without you even noticing it. Google FRP is the thing that's doing the job you're asking. You disable it, you lose your phone if it's stolen.

Google FRP will NOT let the thief use your phone, even if they steal it. They can flash the stock ROM again, but they won't be able to use the device without having the credentials to your Google account. Your logic doesn't make any sense whatsoever but if that's the thing you wanna do, just log out of your Google account on your phone.
