Hello, I have several questions about Verified Boot. I've previously owned a rooted Nexus 5, but I never cared about keeping my bootloader unlocked state. Now I have a OnePlus 5, and while looking for info online I learnt about Verified Boot and how keeping my bootloader unlocked is a security risk.
Then I found that you can add your own certificate, which would be used if the OEM verification fails and allows you (AFAIK!) to flash any zip you sign with the bootloader locked. I also found a thread here where it explains how to do it.
So my questions are:
Does the procedure linked before allows flashing my own zips with a locked bootloader or am I missing something?
If it allows you to have the benefits of an unlocked bootloader while keeping the same security measures, why isn't its usage more widespread?
That's all. BTW hi to everyone! It's my first post here

If it is indeed the FRP lock then you have two options:
Input the last used google account information and password. Then perform a factory data reset to turn off the FRP lock
If you purchased or was given the phone contact the person whom you received it from and get the google account information. After entering the account and once your able to use the device perform a factory data reset to disable FRP lock
Otherwise no other help can be offered because the FRP lock is an anti-theft measure. If it was your google account last used and you don't remember your username/password then contact google for help. If you purchased or were given the device then you need to return it and/or get your back.
It is important to remember that when you sell/buy a phone (or give it to another person) it is important to always perform a factory data reset on the device. By performing a factory data reset you remove the google account information and disable the FRP lock.
Thank you, none of these options come into play. There is no way to get rid of this situation with this software? ;(.. Regards

FRP lock is enabled because a google account was present on the phone. In order to remove the FRP lock you need to input the Google account information and perform a factory data reset after your able to access the settings menu.
Was it your google account information that was last used on the phone or someone else's?
Granted it would be helpful if you put a little more info on what it is your trying to do exactly with the phone and what happened leading up to the issue (example: Are you trying to flash firmware to it, are you trying to root it (if root exists for the model), did you buy the phone, did someone give it to you, etc)
It is plain clear that the device is from an unclear origin, a legally owned device can ALWAYS be serviced ultimately by samsung or carrier, whichever one does it in such or such country, when people says it is "imposible" then for sure, they have no legal proof of ownership
I just found that OP posted a similar situation in the honor 10 section, back in 2018, in which of course nobody offered help, as it looked suspicious

The phone had a google account, I did a hard reset. And the blockade popped out. I can go to the Samsung website but I will have to pay for this service. I wanted to rotate the device. I'm not a layman, I know a little about phones. However, this model had the latest firmware. I am not a thief and I have documents for this device.

The device is legally bought, I just do not want to go to the site and pay for removing the lock, it is an authorized service on this latest Android.

Factory data reset disables FRP lock. If that is what you did then you shouldn't be getting a prompt. Since you can't enter the Google account information it is apparent it was not your Google account last used.
Unfortunately having papers saying you bought it doesn't mean the phone was obtained legitimately. The person you got it from may not have had the right to sell it.
I suspect there is more going on here then meets the eye.
If Samsung said they really can fix it go that route.
The proper ways to get help with FRP lock have been posted.
Recover the Google account and log in as usual, or seek official help from Samsung. Any other means will not be discussed on XDA.
Hello, I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY A50 (SM-A505FN / DS) (Android 11, A505FNXXU8CUE4, XEO - Poland) phone with FRP lock (phone is legal, no possibility to recover password on Google account), I am trying to remove FRP lock according to this guide :
In the ninth minute my problem begins, namely I need a second SAMSUNG phone, unfortunately I do not have a second SAMSUNG to access SAMSUNG account and back up the Alliance Shield X application and restore this application to a locked FRP phone.
Regards.
I have a request, I have a SAMSUNG account, if I share my SAMSUNG account with someone, can someone log into my SAMSUNG account on their SAMSUNG phone and only make copies of this Alliance Shield X app as per this guide?
Please help.

Changing the ROM will not solve my FRP problem.
I need someone to log into my SAMSUNG account on their SAMSUNG and make a copy of the Alliance Shield X app.

He removed FRP from S20 for me for $13
All that Alliance Shield procedure was a big headache for me.

Is this a question?
The best way to deal with FRP is to use the Google account that was on the device when it was reset.
This again? This gets asked about every flagship device every year. Use the Google account that was used on it when it was reset and you are good to go.
Nobody on here is going to tell you how to bypass that as it is in violation of XDA rules.
Hello everyone,
I have recovered a phone blocked by MDM, I have access to the phone because it is configured with an account but I do not have access to the developer options because they are simply blocked by the administrator so impossible to access the OEM / USB debugging or other I am quite a beginner in this area. If someone can tell me how to unblock it it would be nice thanks to you.
Ps: this is the A-325F
Ask the owner to unlock it. Lots of help here...
I wish it were that easy but I can't go to him or contact him.

What do you mean by "recovered"? Where did you get this device?
MDM locks cannot be removed locally; this requires the IT administrator of whatever organization the device belonged to, to remove it from their fleet. If you cannot find or contact the original owner, there is nothing more that you can do other than sell the device.
ask someone that knows about mediatek testpoints how to flash this device alternatively
