Sideload from adb or see if activity launcher worksInstallation from Chrome does not work for me. Has this been patched? Because other FRP Removals
Just a quick update so I tried reflashing SM-220 Firmwares : T220XXU1AUJ1, T220XXU1AUI3, T220XXU1AUF3, and T220XXU1AUE3(currently on this one right now). So that's is 3 different Security Patches Lvl's between them 4/1/21, 5/1/21, and 8/1/21. And I met the same fate each one lol.
I will try this next. Activity Launcher is only in play store so I assume u mean try to sideload this also?
Isn't usb/wifi debugging the primary requirement for adb? If he isn't able to get into the settings to enable the debugging on how would he even use adb
How about you try some other region like Europe or something
I installed a Dutch firmware once
it started with Dutch but after changing the language it was pretty same except the terms which were according to the region
So I tried India T220XXU1AUDA Security Patch Lvl 4/1/21 and European Union :T220XXU1AUE3 Security Patch 4/1/21(For some weird reason this kept showing U.S Csc after 2 flashes which is why I tried India). A this point I give up lol, I been at this since Friday hitting Wall after Wall with this. So my last question guys, has anyone here tried Dr.phone or Droidkit? Will either of these work 100% if I payed?How about you try some other region like Europe or something
I installed a Dutch firmware once
Sad to hear it didn't work
As for those 2 methods I have no idea
And finally 1 question what was the Odin version you using?
yes it is working.
But you using this you can only change wallpaper and it is possible that sooner or later knox may takeover
Last night I operated this procedure to 4 other devices and it worked flawlessly.
The device security update was of 8/21 and the firmware was T225XXU1AUJ1.
The thing I can conclude from the above conversation is that this might have been patched in version you flashed or am I missing something??.
I can help you (only if you want) but please brief me regarding your attempts
Yeah degrading can be done
Like maybe go to the very first firmware with which the device flashed out of the box when it was released
In my case I have done all the steps but at the end my USB debugging and wireless debugging both are greyed out and i not able to turn it on.Please help
Let me see, Give me all screenshots of your software info and device build info

7The method is derived from This post and does not require root access hence doesn't void Warranty or trips Knox:-
This is a Noob-friendly and Safe Method. The wireless debugging section might be new to people though.
This method is demonstrated in this youtube video as well and all the download links are given in the video description
Primary tools and methods used are:-
ADB Tools
FrpUnclock
SamsungDriver
Disabled Driver signature
Wireless debugging
Step:-1 [Preparing the device and using FRP remover]
First of all, reset the device (hard reset before removing any existing account )
Wipe Data and cache partition and reboot to system.
Select language and go to next
Accept conditions and proceed to wifi selection.
Login to your wifi and press back instead of going forward
Now you should get the language selection screen.
Connect your device to PC and launch FRP Tool.
For this tool to work properly in Windows 10, you must disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
Now in SamsunFRP tap on disable Driver Signature,
[Before proceeding ensure that the wifi connection on the phone is working]
Click on BypassFRP (It may ask to install the driver but you should install the driver given in below)

Step:-2 [Downloading QuickShortcut to ignore Knox]
Click on View and it will launch youtube then Chrome.
In chrome don't signup yet and in the search tab search for "vnrom"
select first link stating BYPASS GOOGLE ACCOUNT 2021 - vNORM.net
On the opened page scroll and download "QuickShortCutMaker.apk"
Allow installation from chrome and launch the application.

Select Try
vlcsnap-2021-12-27-23h53m14s399.png
It will show Preparing for Setup... (let it take its time)
It will soon display the screen. Now lock the device and use the notification drawer to access settings
Knox might try to peep in but keep using the notification drawer to access settings.
Under the settings use developer mode (re-enable if not visible)
Step 3:- Using Wireless Debugging to disable knox permanently
Ensure pc and device on same network and disable any internet connection.
Ensure there is only LAN but no internet access as here Knox will attempt to regain control.
GO to Developer Options and select Wireless Debugging.
Now in your PC navigate to ADB/Platform Tools and launch CMD or Powershell by pressing Shift and right-click Open PowerShell here.
If using CMD type command as adb pair.
else in PowerShell type command as ".\adb pair".
Check this tutorial to connect the device to adb wirelssly.
Once you are connected to the device
enter
.\adb shell
pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms
exit

Now enjoy your Bloatfree tablet.

Note:- Updating or Resetting the device will roll back all the changes and you will have to repeat the procedure again
