I tried using the FRP removal from xboxexpert, and i get through it, but i cant boot into the maintenance menu, it'll just keep rebooting once i let go the phone boots up. While this happens the computer doesn't recogonize my phone, but once it boots up it recognizes it. My sister forgot her password since she used a fake email.. and since she got the S8 i want to keep this. its not the gmail account, but the samsung account.

I just made a thread how to pass FRP using bluetooth. you don't even need to connect your phone to your computer.

Call me stupid, but I'm really desperate and begging for help! I used the Android Device Manager on my Tab 3 8.0 to remotely lock my phone. So it worked. But when I used the password to unlock the phone that was set earlier on ADM, my phone keeps saying that it is the wrong password.
Fair enough, I actually used my home PC to do the exact same thing. I went to the ADM site and set alphanumeric and numerals only password and still, WRONG PASSWORD!
What can I do?! I restart the phone and then nothing worked!
Hello siva992, put it back into the two new password in the computer I use only four digits, not failed. Remember to use new numbers, not the same as you have before. Good luck.
You should contact them for help as if it's not notes fail.
If no other ways then you have to do a reflash with Odin.

i too had locked my nubia device through android device manager.
it can be bypassed by rebooting into recovery mode and you need to format /data and /cache.
after this restart your phone through recovery mode it may take 5 to 10 minutes to finally show "android is updating your apps " something like this.
this method worked on my nubia mini and i thing technically it might work on every android phone that is capable of booting into recovery mode.
this method would not delete your photos,music,etc.
only contacts and app data will be gone,i am sure that won't be an issue.
Hi. I had a pin unlock for my phone. I forgot it and entered it too many times. Now it wants me to unlock via my google account which is totally fine...but my phone wasn't connected to WiFi or mobile data wasn't enabled.
So even though I enter the correct details the phone cannot verify them!
I went unto Android device manager and tried to reset the lock screen but it failed to work.
I don't want to do a factory reset as I have not got some recent (and really quite important!) photos backed up! What do I do?
I tried to use a USB cord connected to my phone and PC but because the phone is locked only sleep and charge works.
Please help! Gracias
Long shot as this shouldn't be possible, but I figured I'd try asking here anyways. Is there any way to unlock a 6P that's pin-locked by Android's Device Manager?
The goal is to get the pictures off this phone. It was my brother's phone before he passed away and I've been holding on to it for the past few months - just haven't had the energy to try to deal with it...
-I have access to the gmail account.
-I tried changing the pin through Google's device manager, but since the phone was already locked, the new pin did not take. I get the message on the phone about the new pin, but it doesn't unlock it.
-Developer mode is not enabled (i.e. USB debugging).
-Not rooted or anything like that and most likely has the latest updates (t-mobile). As a matter of fact, the lock screen says that a new system update has been downloaded.
Thanks.
Try putting twrp in your adb folder, boot into fastboot and use "fastboot boot twrp.img"

The only way I can think of is by installing twrp on the phone. The only way it wouldn't work would be if he didn't have USB debugging enabled, which if he didn't then you might be out of luck... I'm so sorry.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure USB debugging is not enabled...sorry that's what I meant when I wrote developer mode (I've tinkered with making apps, so I know what it is).
Thanks.
Same situation here and I try to figure a solution for many days.In my opinia the only way to bypass is a modified google account manager ! Could anybody help?
@clappe Just pretty sure? It wasn't mentioned in the OP, so I'll ask. Have you tried to install ADB on your PC and using ADB pull to grab the files from /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera ? That's the directory to the location where the pictures are stored.
Also, to anyone mentioning TWRP. That's a flat out no-go. He stated bootloader was locked. You can't do that unless you unlock the bootloader.
Edit: He didn't say that, I assumed when he wrote not rooted or anything. Can you power cycle the device? Hold power until it shuts off then boot it up again. Do you see a padlock icon under the Google logo right when it starts up or no?
Edit2: Later today (after work, around 10 hours or so) I'll flash my 6P to stock factory images and relock my bootloader. I'll use device manager to pin lock it and pretend I don't know the password. I'll try a few things and see what I can do. Also, you have my condolences. Sorry for your loss.

Connecting the device to a Windows 10 PC, it will recognize the 6P, but using Windows Explorer will show no files.
Running 'adb devices' lists no devices.
When I power on the 6P, first I get the 'Google' text logo, then the colorful 'spinny' android logo, then the 'android' text logo. Then it goes to the usual lock screen (shows the time, background, etc). On this screen are the normal shortcut buttons on the bottom - microphone, padlock, camera. After a few seconds it shows the 'Locked by Android Device Manager' screen, this has a padlock symbol in the middle along with the pin code that I set online through Google's device manager.
Thanks.
Might be worth a shot to try to contact Google. You'll need proof of your identity, and the passing of your brother though. Best of luck. Sorry about your loss.
If you end up not being able to get a rep that can help via email or phone calls; you might have to do a hardmod.

Hardmod? I did a quick search and the only hardmod I found was to deal with temperature.

I'd do the next:
1. Get an OTG cable and a USB stick. Format the stick to FAT32 and throw any .apk file on it.
2. Download some 4.4.2, say, G900FXXU1ANCE and flash it with Odin.
3. Reboot to recovery and perform a factory reset.
4. Reboot to system and enter Setup Wizard.
5. Connect the OTG cable with USB stick attached. When the phone detects the stick you will see a pop-up window of file explorer.
6. Navigate to your .apk file (from p.1) and tap on it. You don't really need to install it, you only need a security request after your tap.
7. Tap "settings" and voila, you are in the security settings menu now.
8. Navigate to "reactivation lock" and untick it. You'll be asked to enter your Samsung account credentials or to register a new account.
9. Register a new account, log in to it an you'll be able to untick Reactivation Lock and disable it completely.
The trick will work on early 4.4.2 only.

It will work in any case.
There are other ways too.
Yes, a pendrive or something like a USB cardreader with a card, just to connect it as external OTG storage.
You are saying you cannot turn the phone on. What does it mean? What you do and what you see?

1. You should know that the first boot after a factory reset takes a long time, say, up to 15 min. I'd suggest waiting 20 min. and then make a conclusion.
2. If your phone freezes and restarts after a factory reset, it's a good idea to flash a stock ROM. Reactivation lock will not block flashing a stock ROM via Odin.
3. If your phone still behaves abnormally, it's more likely a hw memory problem (rather often for G900), not a reactivation lock problem. Reactivation lock would not prevent the phone from booting.
4. If you still interested in "other methods", have a look at this my thread. It's for SM-G900V and the files will not work for SM-G900F, but there are another files and the main idea will work.
But I'd like to say it again: seems, it's not your case.

1. I will try to wait longer time.
2. Where should i find stock ROM? My phone is in Telenor (Norway)
3. Beggining of the problem with my phone was that one day after turning phone on it came to samsung logo and start to scream ( wery loud noise ) and turned itself off. Since then it didnt pass trough samsung logo ever again. Then i started with factory resets and when it didnt help i tried to root it and put new ROM but all was blocked by R/L.

@bbsc
I have tried to put stock ROM and it didnt help. I was not sure which version should i use so i started with first one from the list. Odin says it was succesfull but phone is stopping now with recovery booting welcome page. It takes about one minute and the phone is off. I tried four versions of stock ROM and result is exactly the same.
Phone is not starting at all.
Should i try all versions of stock rom?

Hi,
I don't want to make you afraid but I was facing very similar problem and nothing helped but replacement of phone's motherboard at Samsung service centre -> my eMMc memory got corrupted for some reason.
Hopefully it is not your case but after reading your symptoms I wouldn't be much optimistic.

Any one is enough.
If you flashed a stock rom, performed a factory reset and the phone still restarts it is not a good sympthom.
I think, Many40 is right and it's time for a new motherboard.
There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just about $30 if DIY.
@Many40 @bbsc
Ok so i give up. I realy like this phone so i will give it to service for motherboard replacement since i have no idea how to do it by myself.
Thank you guys for help!
Cheers!

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.
