FRP [Factory Reset Protect] Removal for Samsung Galaxy S7 & Edge (SM-930V & SM-935V)

[Delgoth]

Combination Firmware bypasses FRP. Samsung might as well not spend any money developing their FRP solution until combination files stop being made as well. Most places that it can be found will even tell you it is an FRP solution.

Combination Firmware has become a big deal in the Samsung Community in recent years. But a by-product of creating the firmware is creating a FW that doesn't care about such things.

Worked!

THANK YOU phreich for your instructions, I used the verizon rom G930VVRS4BQH1-SM-G930V_1_20170808170339_0tx3nrq0ec_fac WORKED!

 

[aparker1309]

will this work on the sprint galaxy s6 by chance??

I need help with my S7 GV930V bypass google account verification please

is there is a possibility if you can help bypassing the google e-mail issue with my s7 930v

Also seeking FRP bypass on G930V

I'm using Odin 3.12.3 (not PrinceComsy's version)

The phone is currently on G930VVRS4APH1 but am not sure if security patches are more reccent. FWIW, whatever previous version I had did NOT have Option 5 on Maintenance Mode to enable USB Debugging. PH1 does.

I can access the phone's Settings with this adb command:

adb shell am start -S com.android.settings/.Settings$PowerUsageSummaryActivity >nul

WiFi goes down when I put the phone in 911 mode, so I can't access a browser.

This adb command to open a browser:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d (PUT_URL_HERE)

Could not be performed due to security reasons

I even used different files from different ROMS as suggested at gsmhosting:

"AT FIRST WRITE ONLY AP G930PVPS4APJ2 AND CSC G930PSPT4APJ2"
(output)
"AFTER UNLOCK FRP WRITE FULL FLASH G930VVRS4APH1"

I failed to remove the FRP lock, but also used Odin and not Samsung Tool PRO v.30.5 as suggested in gsmhosting

Using FRP Hijack by Hagard 1.0 generated a "CLEAN SLATE" message but failed to bypass FRP.

I have yet to find a suitable combination or factory binary file for PH1 - Odin fails loading the AP file for combination files PL2 and PG1

I am VERY open to suggestions.

Worked for me - Verizon Galaxy S7

Just went through this whole process and was able to unlock two phones. Former employees who had returned their phones still locked, the process of getting Verizon / Samsung to do this is a pain even with receipts.

Mostly followed @phreich version of the instructions, here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ect-unlock-t3414590/post74581955#post74581955
My phone was booting normally already, so after modifying the batch file as noted in section 2 to leave me doing odin manually and not rooting the phone afterwards, I went straight to installing the engineering bootloader in step 3 (odin, flashed the engineering kernel using only the BL option, looking at the downloaded .tar file.).

Then ran the .bat file after the phone was completely rebooted to the sign in screen and stepped through everything in step 4. I set up my account with no security options and logged in, then factory reset the phone from inside my newly logged in account. Once done, back to Odin and flashed normal firmware on there.

My custom firmware indicator does show up on reboot, but these are way out of warranty, no harm done.

Couple of notes; you need adb installed, as well as the USB drivers for your phone to do this.

The engineering kernel I got through here:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f92...935x-qc-eng-boot-root-2017-firmwares-2201348/
The links still worked, I did it for the 930x since running an S7, not an edge. It worked for my verizon phones.

Odin and the firmware I flashed back at the end came from here, since the original links in this thread are dead:

To use odin, you have to get your phone in the right mode; shut down the phone, then hold volume down, home and then power and hold until it vibrates. On the screen that then appears, hit volume up. Then you can start the transfer process from odin, assuming the phone is plugged in and samsung drivers are installed.

I modified the batch file to comment out all of the odin steps (did those manually) and the rooting steps - I just need these usable again, not rooted. Code is below, you can cut and paste into a bypassfrp.bat file and execute that at the appropriate point in step 4. All lines that start with REM do not execute, you can reenable anything desired.

Hi,
Is it possible to remove FRP from a G930V binary 8 ?
I've tried many procedures but no success.
Thank you.

Thanks for your update on this that points to sources for the necessary utilities (drivers, ADB, and Odin).

I have updated my guide that you refer to above to now get past the new FRP imposed timer and reboot process that gets downloaded during the setup steps. Where in the past, after getting the phone factory reset or installing a fresh factory firmware the guide told you to perform the setup steps through to the point where it asked you for the previous google account, it now tells you to stop at the "connect to wi-fi" screen, but NOT TO CONNECT, and not to go further. This avoids the setup process downloading the new FRP timer and reboot software, but gets the setup far enough along that you avoid a bootloop after the engineering bootloader is installed. The rest of the process remains unchanged.

I'm glad to have the process working again.

I have tried using the combination firmware methods that folks keep talking about, but can't seem to get it to work -- the phone locks up during the boot process after the combination firmware is installed. I've started another thread regarding the issues I am having to see if we can figure out a solution.

Great post. updated the TARs to reflect 3-01 QC

Does this method work with SM-G930V on Oreo?

 

[hamidshah07]

for all sumsung 9.0 frp solution,in few minutes u can fix,

People make this so much harder than need be. Download the latest patched odin. Goto halabtech or easyfirmware website download the factory combination firmware that matches your bootloaders version reboot to recovery wipe data from recovery reboot to bootloader. Use patched odin and flash combination firmware. Once booted goto settings/developer settings toggle oem unlock reboot to download flash stock firmware in odin

Was it a google lock or the Reactivation lock thru samsung account you had on yours?

I am having the same issue on my s10 it would be great if this works however i can neither confirm nor deny the validity due to the face that the link is either invisible or non functional. And also to the guy with the comment on buying a $200 EE black box if i had that cash on hand i wouldn't be wasting it on a black box I'd buy a new phone and build my own. Other than that i apologize i am quite testy today been a long week.

This may seem simple to someone with a lot of knowledge, but to those of us that do not develop or perform modifications on a daily basis, it is confusing.
I've been trying everything I can find to remove the frp lock on an ex-employees device. I've downloaded the patched Odin and files you posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/verizonoreoofficialfactoryodinimagesg930vvru-4cre5-t3801957
This is the version the device is on now.

I tried the steps listed in this thread to unlock, but after flashing the eng. bootloader it just hangs at the Samsung logo. I've tried to find other files but they either don't exist or cost money to download from a site.

At this point, I'm stuck and have no idea where to go.

I told you exactly what to to. You even quoted it. Whats so hard about flashing firmware. As soon as firmware is booted your frp is removed. You can goto developers settings and toggle oem unlock and it will go away for good. Then simply reflash your stock firmware

I agree that flashing the firmware is easy. Finding the correct firmware is more difficult. Both the sites you listed to download firmware look like they require payment. Also, if someone doesn't know what version bootloader they have then the right file won't be found. I would venture that most don't know how to find that information if the device is not booting or letting them into the system settings.

I've flashed multiple configuration firmware files for the S7 and they all end in bootloop.

90 percent of bootloops on stock firmware are a result of not wiping data. Bootloader version is 5th number from the right of your firmware version. Those sights I listed have option too sign up a free account that will usually let you download combo firmware. If not just get the build number and search AFH for the file
