Question Cannot factory reset

Search This thread
When I try to flash using ODIN, it fails due to FRP lock. Is there any way to bypass FRP lock on a device that's in airplane mode, not connected to Wifi and the screen is locked?
Hi mate

You need to enter the old Google password of the phone , in order to avoid this you should had disable it before you factory reset the phone

I appreciate your feedback, but there's nowhere to enter a password. The screen is locked and I don't have the passcode. I'm trying to wipe it but can't. I can't flash it because FRP lock. So the phone has not been reset yet because I cant. Thanks tho

You mention it was on airplane mode , no wi-fi so your phone boots up , right? usually when it first boot it should ask you introduce the password of your associated email ( google most cases).

But explain what happened , how you got FRP without reseting the phone ?

When I try to perform a factory reset on this device, and I get into the recovery, there is no option to "Wipe/Factory Reset."Any idea how to get this thing reset?
Simultaneously press and hold the Volume up and side buttons until the device vibrates and the Android Recovery screen appears then release all buttons. Allow up to 30 seconds for the recovery screen to appear. From the Android Recovery screen, select Wipe data/Factory reset.

Seriously? Why didn't I think of that? On a serious note, if you read the thread you'll see that this doesn't work.

Reading is hard, mmmkay? 😂

It sounds like you're dealing with an MDM lock. FRP doesn't prohibit stock firmware from being flashed, but MDM does. And an MDM lock would also prevent it from being factory reset via the Recovery menu. I was asking for the Download mode picture in order to confirm the MDM status

Reading must be hard for you but I understand it. I didn't respond to you because there's no reason to attach a photo. I'm past it and this thread should be closed.
