let me bless the thread with this app which only works on Windows PC.... I am not gonna post the directions on what to do with it because that is what google is for. But since I saw that this link is removed I figured I would help fellow XDA peeps and point them in the right direction. I did not make this program so I take no responsibility for what you do with it so do not shoot the messenger!

Worked like a charm!

Reading through the posts allowed me to get the information needed to bypass. It definitely does work on PI1. Just wanted to say thanks for devoting your time and effort to getting this to work. You're fantastic!

Can you share the tools or some help? Did you use the emergency call bluetooth trick? Isn't it a bit risky to call the emergency line without any purpose?

Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for all your help... it was so straight forward and easy and worked flawlessly... between your post and the op and a few pms I got all the files and was well guided... thanks to everyone that contributed their knowledge and experience...

P.s. I have everything needed to do this for the g930 and the g935 for all carriers and it roots too... but fyi root doesnt quite stick... I figured out how to make it stick but since it's such a pain to be on global unlocked U firmware and get carrier unlocked and twrp is a pain to get on it I decided to let it just remain stock... I'm just happy to have my phone frp unlocked... so big thanks to you guys! This is what xda is all about for me... coming together to help each other.

You are welcome. I realized after I sent you the batch file that the greater-than signs I put in the REM statements to indicate my added comments actually prevented the batch file from working -- sorry. I did a global replace of the greater-than sign, and then went back and put it back in the couple of places where it was actually supposed to be there and it worked fine. I discovered this when I had to FRP unlock a G930R version (US Cellular version). This method worked on that version too. On that phone, it was still on Android 6.0, so I used the boot loader firmware file that xbox had distributed with his original exe file.

BTW, I have noticed that the motherboards for all of the North American versions use the EXACT SAME MOTHERBOARD, labeled G930V on the motherboard. The only difference is the firmware. Armed with this knowledge, I tried flashing the North American factory carrier unlocked firmware, G930U version, onto this G930R motherboard, and it went flawlessly.

I wound up with a carrier unlocked North American phone with no carrier bloatware pre-installed. This does not change the ESN or IMEI number -- so it won't change the phone's status if the phone's IMEI is blacklisted (due to being reported lost or stolen) or still has a financial liability (on lease but not paid off). I talked to a couple of carrier technicians (one from Sprint and another from T-Mobile) about whether they check to see if an IMEI number was originally used on a phone originally associated to another carrier and they said "no" -- their systems just care about blacklisting and financial liability locks -- both of which are verified regardless of the original carrier. They also confirmed that if the phone is the G930U unlocked version, that the "bloatware" from their carrier isn't loaded onto the phone, nor is the firmware overwritten with the carrier's firmware -- it remains a carrier unlocked, bloatware free phone. The only extra software pre-loaded on the phone are Samsung's programs and front-end gui. I think I'll load the "U" version firmware onto all the North American S7's I work on from now on. It will be interesting to see if this carries forward to the S8 and the soon-to-be released S9 (March, 2018).

Note: I have heard that the Canadian Rogers/Bell version, G930W8, uses the European MB (G930F) that uses the Exynos CPU and doesn't have the North American CDMA radio -- I haven't seen one of those yet, and so am not sure.

UPDATE: February 13, 2018.
Well, unfortunately getting the phone actually carrier unlocked isn't as simple as I thought -- you can't just flash the "U" version of the firmware onto the phone and expect to activate it on another carrier. While this seemed to work with the G930R phone mentioned above, when I tried to repeat this with a T-Mobile version (G930T) of the phone, and then get it activated on Verizon for someone, the dreaded "please enter your unlock" code popped up when we put in the Verizon SIM. The phone had been flashed with the latest version of the G930U firmware, but it didn't matter.

It turns out that Samsung has stored the original carrier's 3 character ID somewhere in RAM in the phone that does not get overwritten when the firmware is replaced. While the phone can successfully run the "U" version of the firmware that is free of any carrier's pre-loaded bloatware, it remains locked to the original carrier until they supply you with the "domestic carrier unlock code" for the phone. Most carriers are willing to give you this unlock code, but they demand things like: "the phone must be activated on your account for at least 40 days, the bill must be paid up and current, and the phone not be on lease."

There are services that you can find online that will generate this unlock code for a fee, but I am now on the prowl for a method to do this myself. The unlock codes are generated via some proprietary calculation that is performed using the phone's IMEI number, so they are unique to each phone. Of course, Samsung and the carriers are very secretive about all of this. My hope is that there will be continuing pressure put on the legislature in the US to make it illegal to sell carrier locked devices, forcing all devices sold to be carrier unlocked. After all, if a person owns a device, they should have the right to use it as they please and not be constrained by artificial barriers like carrier locks....

I'll update this again if I am able to find out how to either generate the carrier unlock code, or to modify the values in the phone's memory that trigger this "enter unlock code" message. If anyone knows how to do either of these things, please PM me and point me in the direction of the information.

Good luck,
Philip

Root sticks il send you the link i used. just plug in phone download the custom odin program then instesr the custom kernal in the ap section make sure auto reboot is check then click apply. Then once rebooted open the root program that you downloaded, it basicaly comes up as a command prompt and follow instructions from thier. Took me 5 mins to do the whole process. Il send link and when you root if its laggy download L speed from playstore and look uo on google "galaxy s7 l speed no lag" and apply the settings they say under xda. My phone runs flawless. Its the us version gm 930v Here a picture wit my root apps with overclocked values that app is called kernal auditor

I concur with slplsnphx. I also want to thank him/her for giving me the clues and pointing me in the right direction to get the FRP unlock done!

I just dealt with a Sprint G930P that was at firmware level QH1 (September 2017) and I also could not use the "Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT" firmware provided with the zip file, because it uses an earlier bootloader (The Samsung boot lock prevents us from installing the older version boot loaders). I searched for the file name in google "Samsung_G930_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-03-01.TAR" that slplsnphx mentioned a few posts up, and found it and downloaded it. As of the time I downloaded it, it was mentioned in the following gsmhosting forum thread at: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f92...935x-qc-eng-boot-root-2017-firmwares-2201348/.
The file at this time was stored at:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767142259

My S7 was in a bootloop because of the problem with the bootloader mismatch, and also because I had tried to downgrade back a few versions to get closer to a version previously mentioned in the thread. Bottom line -- I think it is a waste of time to try to downgrade the stock firmware on the Galaxy S7 -- it is best instead to use Odin to reflash the current version, and start with a fresh installation.

Make sure to flash all four firmware files, BL, AP, CP and CSC. When doing this, just make sure to select the CSC firmware file that does NOT have the word "HOME" in it. The file with "HOME" in it prevents erasure of a lot of data -- the other CSC file forces everything to be restored to factory defaults. I found the firmware I used on the https://www.androidfilehost.com file hosting site. On the main page, there is a search box, and I put in G930P (my Sprint S7 version), and it returned a list of the factory firmware files that were stored there. Search for your model of the S7 to get the list of available firmwares. In my case I downloaded the factory firmware named "G930PVPU4BQH1_SPT4BQH1_SPR_Sprint_USA_7.0.zip". (Note that many people in these threads refer to a version of the firmware by the last 3 characters of the full firmware version name -- in this case, it is QH1.)

In many ways, I prefer this hosting site because they don't throttle your downloads the way that others do. It might not have all the firmware versions, but it most likely has what is needed.

So, here, in hopefully enough detail to be reproduceable, is the modified method I used:
1. I downloaded the QH1 stock Samsung firmware for the G930P (sprint) Galaxy S7, and flashed that using the version of Odin that was in the FRP removal zip file. I flashed all four files, and used the non-HOME csc file.
NOTE: Make sure to let the initial setup process complete up until it asks for the previous Google ID. If you don't do this, you may wind up in a loop in the setup after you flash the "G930_QC_Eng_Boot_Root" into the bootloader. (I found this out the hard way, and had to reflash the factory firmware and start over again).
2.. From an earlier part of this thread (Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67718241&postcount=43), I scraped the batch file that the author converted into the bypassfrp.exe program. Note that the link at the bottom of the that post is non-functional -- but the "click to open" box below "(3) here are the entire contents of his batch file:" contains the whole batch file -- which can be highlighted and copied. I saved this as "bypassfrp G930P.bat", and edited it as follows:
2a. I commented out the installation of the samsung drivers (I had already installed them),
2b. I also commented out the first execution of Odin because I already used Odin manually to restore the phone to the factory firmware, and it was just easier for me to use Odin manually again to flash the Eng_Boot_Root file....
2c. Since I didn't want to hassle with maintaining a rooted phone, I also commented out the end of the batch file where it roots the now-FRP-unlocked phone. If you want to root your phone, leave the end as-is.
Note: there were instructions in the original batch file, after the first Odin execution, to press the volume down and power button together to get to a "Factory Maintenance Mode" boot screen, and there to select "option 5". Well, on my G930P S7, pressing those keys did not bring up a "maintenance mode", and on other phones with more recent firmware that do have a "maintenance mode" appear, there is no "option 5"! As mentioned in one of the posts immediately above, the boot loader in the "Samsung_G930_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-03-01.TAR" firmware enables ADB processing (basically turning on debug mode), so this "maintenance mode" step is not needed -- so:
2d. I commented the "maintenance mode" steps too, and the confusion caused by the missing menu and/or menu option is avoided.
3.. I then manually ran Odin again, and this time flashed the Samsung_G930_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-03-01.TAR file to JUST the BL (bootloader) location. Make sure you turn on the phone and boot it after this flash to get ready for the next steps.
4. Once that was complete, I executed the modified batch file, and followed the on-screen instructions from there. It tells you at which point in the initial setup process of the phone to press a key, and then the batch file executes a series of ADB commands that cause menus to pop-up on your phone, where you follow instructions on the screen, press another key, follow more instructions, and eventually an ADB command brings up a prompt on the phone to "enter your google password" WHERE YOU DON'T ENTER A PASSWORD, but instead click on the menu icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen (looks like 3 vertical dots). Once you follow the on-screen instructions and login to your own google account and sign into it with your own password, follow the on-screen instructions to use the "back" soft-key on the phone to go back to the start the of the initial setup process -- and this time completing it, so that the phone is now FRP locked to YOUR google account instead of whoever last had the phone.
5. In my case, that was the end of the batch file processing -- as I mentioned before, I didn't want to root the phone.
6. I then executed Odin one last time and restored the same QH1 stock Samsung firmware so that it would be the fully stock Samsung android system, and, after restarting the phone, was able to enter my own google account and I now had a functioning FRP unlocked factory restored Galaxy S7.

The process is a bit lengthy and more difficult than it was before the boot loader downgrade issue cropped up, but it is do-able. I hope my step-by-step instructions help those that follow.....

Maybe XBOX will update their process to make it simpler again, by incorporating the Samsung_G930_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-03-01.TAR (yes, there's a G935 version too) and possibly removing the "Maintenance Boot Menu" steps.

Many, many thanks to XBOX for all his work getting this pulled together into a still-workable solution.

Good luck everyone!

================================================
Update (12/16/2017):
I just used the same method to bypass the FRP lock on a G930T (T-Mobile) S7. Worked just fine. Except this time, since the phone wasn't in a boot loop, I didn't bother doing an initial reflash of the phone to the T-Mobile firmware, I just went straight into step 3 above where I used Odin to flash the "Samsung_G930_QC_Eng_Boot_Root_v2017-03-01.TAR" into just the BL firmware section (bootloader), and then proceeded with the rest of the steps.

After removing the FRP lock, I went to the same site mentioned above (www.androidfilehost.com) and put the T-Mobile model number in the search box (G930T), and then selected the QH7 firmware file it found (August 2017 update), and fully reflashed (all 4 parts) the phone to the factory firmware (all 4 parts, using the non"home" CSC file) using Odin.

Result: an FRP unlocked factory-fresh T-Mobile phone. Well, to be perfectly accurate, after the firmware update the phone is FRP locked to MY gmail account -- which is basically unlocked., since I can now log in after a reset, and proceed with the setup. (If passing the phone onto someone else, make sure you remove your Google account from the phone before doing a factory reset, or you'll be getting a call from them asking you to unlock it for them by logging into your account.)

Glad you expanded on this :)

I have decided to release full FRP Bypass PE1 + Software Root
I hold no responsibility on how this software is used.
This software is malware free. So just follow the instructions and if I helped hit the Thank you!

I only support and assist with this version of my software not other versions that have been decompiled and released elsewhere within this thread.
There are no revisions of version changes this is the final version and works 100% if you can follow simple instructions.

Well, it looks like Google or Samsung (or both) have done something in the latest version of the Sprint firmware. What seems to be happening now is that an additional piece of software is loaded in the background on the phone during the initial setup process as soon as a wifi connection is established. It seems that one of the functions of that software is to add a reboot timer onto the phone, so that if the phone was previously associated with a google account, if initial setup is not completed within a short timeframe, the phone will automatically reboot from within the setup process. This is NOT a traditional boot loop, where the phone never gets to the initial setup screens. This is a timer that looks to prevent bypassing the FRP lock via alternate google signon procedures used by the ADB commands used in this bypass method.

What I found is that you have to start with a completely reset phone that has no wifi connections established before attempting to use the method documented in this thread. Even then, once the wifi connection is established, and I have used the "online" google signon to sign onto a google account, the phone restarts before I can complete all the steps needed to get to the home page. I have gotten to the very last step in the setup process, but then the phone restarts.

I will be looking into possible ways to get around this -- possibly by using a specially dedicated wifi router that I can shut off at critical steps in the process, thus preventing the loading of this extra timer software. I'll update this post with my findings.

In my case the reason I need to get past FRP locks is because I buy parts phones with damaged screens (but with clean IMEI numbers), so the owners are unable to remove their google accounts from the phone. I don't deal with blacklisted phones -- just busted ones that I can use for parts.

Google and Samsung really need to put in place a procedure to allow users to be able to remotely remove their accounts from a phone, so we repair and refurbishment folks wouldn't have to figure out ways to bypass the FRP locks for legitimate reasons. Of course, when a phone is stolen, a person would not want to remove the FRP lock -- but that's a completely different situation. Frankly I think a large part of this has to do with corporate greed. By making non-stolen FRP locked phones useless, Samsung is making millions of damaged phones that could otherwise be repaired or used for parts and put back into the market non-usable, thus keeping the demand for new phones higher.

Yes, that last bit is a grumble on my part, but I think it is part and parcel of what the manufacturers do to try do shrink the repair-and-reuse market.

UPDATE: I have successfully gotten this method to work again!
What must now be done is, after a factory reset is done or factory firmware is installed on the phone, you must start the initial setup process and get to the "connect to wi-fi" screen, but you MUST NOT connect to wi-fi, or proceed further. Then, after the phone is rebooted, and the engineering boot is installed, the ADB commands in the batch file will work, and you will be able to login to your google account and then complete the setup. I have updated my guide to reflect this change.
