it seems it didn't work for me.. USB\VID_045E&PID_062B&REV_0000..
i'm gonna try virtualbox, maybe i'll have more luck.(currently i have Windows 8.1 rtm pro x64 only and Linux)
The problem is that i'm stuck with a not for resale phone by Tim. No updates and strange bugs( like, won't memorize the date between reboots)
Ok, now the program sees it under Windows 7 x86... but it says engineer, and returns an error(gonna past in a sec)

I don't know for sure but your phone might have an engineering ROM on it at the moment, so only engineering ROMs can be flashed.

yep, but i might have outsmarted them.. we simply need to repack the rom without signin/secureboot

Hi All
Sorry if this is a silly question but I thought all WP8 updates and Ativ S were done OTA and we didn't need to start flashing Roms like we do for SGS3.
My Ativ S says its on version 8.0.10327.77, isn't this GDR2, Am I missing something?
Thanks

Yep.i have a completely unlocked Developer Version. Secureboot is disabled an such

you can't buy one. I happened to stumble into one, and i'm trying to do everything i can to bring it back to normal, since the phone won't update itself.

If I may suggest, there are people on this site who could do far more useful things with a phone like that. Heathcliff74, for example, is working on a root-unlock for WP8 (as am I) and a non-secure-boot test device would be useful to him (though I don't know if he actually needs a device at this time, or what he'd pay; that was just an example of somebody who might be interested). You can probably recoup most or all of the money you sunk into it and give the hacking community a boost as well.
Oh, and @tgriger, we can already do that. I found out how a couple weeks ago. Read the dev&hacking subforum.

i'd like to do that, but i'm from italy... i kind of doubt there is a safe way for the phone to arrive to you intact, plus the fees are outrageous. If someone wants to buy it can talk to me in private thought, i'll see if i can arrange it. But you can't disable secureboot once the fuse is blown, so i think you can't root the device; and the feaure i think it's provided at the SOC level. And i'm a little bit of a rom developer, so if i learn how to change things i can provide a platform for mods. I can even tell you this: if someone pays me the fees and buy me a new one( the phone is like new, it was bought march 2013 and it had no sign of being used a lot, and on expansys is at 230€ so i think it's fair, it was over 500€ when i bought it)

@Heathcliff74 is from the Netherlands, so shipping would not be too hard from Italy. Also I just bought an ATIV S from Amazon.de for a bit under 200€.

A non-secureboot device would just be a test platform, not something that it's expected that all devices would be able to make use of. Secure Boot isn't perfect; there are ways around it (some are device-specific, which is less ideal but seems likely to exist on most smartphones; others are not). However, while some people hack on SB, others could hack on making *use* of the ability to install custom ROMs. That's where an unlocked bootloader device would be handy.
Also, yeah, there are lots of European phone hackers. No need to worry about sending it to the US!

It's an interesting device for sure. But there is no way I can afford € 200 now. I have a wife an kids to support too, you know. Maybe at a later time.

Never Said it was an obligation- only stated what i thought was a fair price. If someone wants it and has other proposals I'm listening.

So, i would say we could donate to you, that you can afford the device.
Depending on how many users would hop onto this idea, it wouldn't be that much per person
Well, if you're fine with that idea, you can count on my donation

(No progress yet)Root dev for Galaxy S9 Plus SM-G965U (Snapdragon)

Do not ask for an ETA
Once the mods start getting onto people for asking, I'll take my dev work off site. I don't want to upset mods and admin over people being impatient.
I've been looking and root isn't available yet for the Snapdragon version. I've created root access for a few devices so far, be it years ago. I want root, so I've decided to start dev work on my own. Can't say how long it will take, or if I will be able to, but anyone that is willing to test or help, feel free to comment and say so, since help would be greatly appreciated. Testers are needed.
First off though, what advancements have been made so far? Several posts I've seen have dead links to data, so to start, I'll need to know what's been done already. No need to reproduce failed outcomes.

Reserved for future links.

One guy flashed a combination version of the firmware and got the OEM unlock toggle to show on a SM-G960U. It switched on and off but I am not sure if it actually unlocked the bootloader or not. There is a TWRP already ported to the Snapdragon version as well, although only for the Chinese and Hong Kong version, it should work on our device if you can get the bootloader unlocked first. I have been scouring online and in the forums since the phone came out and that's all I nave found thus far. Im sure you already know these things, but I figured I would say it just in case you weren't aware. Hope you get it figured out! Good luck! ?

The only development I've heard of is one user claiming he got a diagnostic boot with SElinux permissive. (In the S9 root dev forum/thread) I also have a source who is NOT trying to be identified publicly because he works for google, but he informed me that "the android O build for SAMSUNG DEVICES, was developed with special instructions in it to automatically kick a KERNEL PANIC , if ANY app NOT on some internal White List attempts to access, modify, or send SU commands through any NOT LISTED app with those permissions granted already." ... now I'm not an Android level programmer, but I'm an old Linux dev/ penetration systems tester (lol) and from what I am gathering is that the patches or whatever that Samsung added to the O.S. also included an encrypted or hidden white list, which he says is VERY small, (as in number of items actually in the list) , but even he said they do not have any access nor knowledge of where they stored this. He did tell me that they delivered an incomplete or infant code for Samsung Snapdragon Model Note 8,9 and s8,9, and it was so crude that not only would it not compile because of missing crap Samsung deliberately did not supply them with... but he said that it was NOT lockable in that state, so Samsung either inserted their own locked kernel and whatever to create this B.S. broke down version of Android that is Root crippled. BUT the only clue he could give me was that "On no level can an E-fuse provide an unbreakable chain of trust, and that if an extreme modded were to actually break down the system board of an S9, they could in theory remove or add some sort of device that would bypass the Qualcomm Secure boot completely!" ... now this ain't a best friend or nothing so truthfully I'm surprised I got this much from him... but I've known who he was and that hes worked for Google nearly 12 years as a developer and software engineer. So I dont know if any of that info helps... but my contribution is that I can get my device (s9+ from Sprint USA Sm-g965U) replaced with little to no hassle, so I'm 100% willing to do any tests u need, providing that you give me at least a basic level of instruction, as to each set of commands or package u want me to flash. I'm pretty android savvy considering it's just a linux derivative... and I know Samsung 100% .. I've had every S - galaxy since day 1 . BUT throwing blind commands at my device that I have 0 understanding of their impact, makes me feel like a squirrel running across the freeway during rush hour! Plz Do me a favor and shoot me a private message and I'll give you my cell number and email so u can reach me quicker when you have something u need tested! Now please people don't berate me if something he said to me was not correct or you have different data to disprove what he said. I literally took notes by hand and had him confirm them, so I'm just the messenger/informant and u gotta realize that as a google employee, he #1 is partially not knowledgeable of ways to exploit the O.S. which is what the hackers come into play for. And make the developers work **** tons harder to FIX the hole the ****ed up in the 1st place! ? Lol... and #2. I did ask about the possibility of a $$$$ number he would take in order to provide an actual Eng-boot like that of the S8, and he said that "Those are developed by each individual corporation after they are provided the build source code", and that "google has no interest in possessing or archiving any such file because the O.S. does not need it to provide a developers version of the O.S., which is as far as Google goes in providing a new system to the companies.... so for something like that, reach out to one of the underpaid factories full of workers and I'm sure they would happily give you what you want for much cheaper than you imagine!" Ok that was very long winded but I wanted to cover all I could because I prob wont check this thread anymore.... plz PM me bro so I can get you my info ... and let's put this Flashing Guinea Pig (me) to work in getting this ***** at least hack rooted or maybe full!!!

Hello, i've just finished reading all above and from what I've read I can tell that not all hopes are lost as well I'm offering my help to be a (TESTER) for any attempts you wanna try, however, please note that I'm NO DEV just a user who would like to his phone rooted ASAP that's all, so please explain the commands that you would give me and the steps. plz PM me so I can get you my contact info

It ain't happening with the known exploits.

Ok, so far I have a few routes I plan to take that have worked on other devices. Working on the first, but not at the moment. The rude comment compelled me to post my own. Devs don't follow old ways of doing things so get that out of your head if you want to think forward, not backwards. I have found what could be an exploit in the rom itself that "might" be the starting point to get root access. This is NOT an ETA but hopefully we can start testing in the next few weeks.
I'll say it now, don't get overly excited a possible exploit has been found. I make no guarantee on it being THE exploit needed. Just be patient, and if you have insight on a way to attack this or another possible exploit, do say so.
If anyone knows of the bootloader partition already having been copied, post a link. I share mine at the moment so I don't always have it around, so any of the bootloader data would help greatly.

Myself and a handful of other people involved in us snapdragon s8/s8+/n8+ took a brief crack at it a little while ago to no avail. I don't want to go into too many details on here as 1) Samsung is watching surely and 2) the contents from the peanut gallery get old quick but here are the cliff notes. Feel free to pm me here or on telegram for more details. (Backstory on me, I created samfail which was the first/only n8 root method and the second for the s8/s8+ and the only published one beyond bootloader v1.
- samfail is 100% patched. No known way to modify system
- you can't mix combo boot with stock images anymore. Samsung got wise to that. Figured out how to track it if we can force write a system image
- there is a ton of new system level security because they had to move out of the boot image due to treble. Probably the first big nail in the coffin I'm.
- don't waste your time on the oem unlock toggle in the combo/factory rom. No it doesn't unlock the bootloader. The us snapdragons don't respect it's value outside of turning off frp, but that was with the s8 idk if it is still true on the s9.
- the other poster is right about the anti root thing. It's in the open source kernel code. If anything being exexuted under uid 0 matches a list of common/known root mods/not stuff that is supposed to be there, instant kernel panic. Things like "binary is called BusyBox" are on that list.
This was the point I gave up. Partially because I don't have the device so testing is extremely difficult (I wised up this year and purchased a intl. Snapdragon sm-g9650 which has full oem unlock just like the exy).
In sure there's things in forgetting right now and again, being too transparent here results in root method bring patched faster, hit me up if you want more brain dump

Although I have seen a lot worse on these threads, his comment was pretty negative, which is what we do not need in this thread. I wish people would just keep their thoughts to themselves if they have nothing to add to the discussion. I also will test so let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

i also have a g965u and have been trying various mwthods to no avail at this point.. we need new exploits to be found.. all the obvious stuff will not work

It is because of this is why I will never buy another Galaxy phone. I need root.

You cannot buy Exynos from a carrier. You have to buy directly from Samsung for that. I know because I requested a Exynos variant. Sprint said they couldn't (or wouldn't) give me one.

Unlock, Rebrand, Unbrick, Update - FunkyHuawei Support Thread for Mate 20 Pro

This is the official FunkyHuawei support thread for the Mate 20 Pro.
The below applies to both the Mate 20 and the Mate 20 Pro.
Install:
Currently FunkyHuawei has a new install method for EMUI 9 devices which is not public as of yet.
Unbrick:
Unbricking will be possible with the new HiSuite 9 method, but it is not public as of yet.
Rebrand:
Rebranding is not currently planned to be offered. Neither is single sim to dual sim conversion. This may change in the future.
Unlock:
Unlock codes are available via the unlock code order form, or by purchasing an unlimited pass. See the site for details.
If you have a global variant, make sure that you can choose Enable OEM Unlock in developer options. So far we have seen the option grayed out on all devices. If you can't enable this, even with the code, you can't unlock the bootloader.
It has been confirmed that bootloader unlocking on the Chinese variant is possible. On the global variant we can give you the code, but you'll need to be able to choose Enable OEM Unlock as specified above.
Root:
The methods which are not public are available to those who want to test them, by contacting FunkyHuawei support by email.
We will update this thread with any changes.

so I have to purchase for unlocking my device?
what the ..

I would prefer bootloader unlock with paid service rather than having Mate 20 Pro with access limitation. Since you as the owner, you should've the right to use your phone the way you want it. Since the official unlock method was suspended months ago, what else option do we have?

Sure, but these people are putting work in to it and want to be paid -- I don't believe they're affiliated with Huawei. If it was Huawei doing this, I'd understand your sentiment.

Keeping tabs here. I'm hoping to pre order the UK emerald green variant before the timeframe ends for the free gifts.

Not sure of the purpose of this thread. It offers nothing. So will it? Can the phone be unlocked? Is a purchase required?
We already know Huaweu have publicly stated all phones after an earlier date in 2018 won't be boot-unlockable. So curious...how will FunkyHuaweu help me?

Think we've gotta wait for Friday onwards, as seemingly people with devices now (presumably different software wise?) have the OEM unlock option greyed out in developer options.
As far as my understanding goes, if we can check that option, we can't unlock the bootloader..... Sad times if so.
I'll be hopefully getting my device on Friday and I'll be sure to see if that option is an option for me...

So is there any way to unlock bootloader other than OEM unlock?

As far as I know that setting needs to be checked, we need to be able to select Allow. Without it I don't think the bootloader can be unlocked, but I'd be gladly proved wrong!

Does rebrand from L09 to L29 work or is it in the works?

May change in the future, but right now, any kind of rebranding is looking very unlikely.
The same software updates can be offered for all brandings, which is a plus, so there shouldn't be such a need to rebrand, even if you have an obscure branding.
But enabling dual sim on single-sim, is looking very unlikely with the current state of things. We are looking into it, though.

Thanks for the reply. I need global, not Chinese with root... this is a Dev community - so I don't support anyone holding the root process for global ROM as a ransom. Happy to pay a contribution but it's meant to be shared..

Demanding a ransom? LOL.
They're a business providing a service.
If others want to do it for free, there's nothing stopping them from doing so. The problem is, I doubt there will be enough people interested in doing that ... the Huawei / Honor development community has already been shattered.

I mentioned before, I need the device in hand to do it. No way currently exists that I could offer people to do at home. That might change in the future, but that is the current situation.
With the Chinese version, you can likely simply unlock the bootloader and root like any other phone.
With the global version, you could theoretically do the same if Enable OEM Unlock is available. But if it isn't available, the only alternative I can offer, is one that requires the device in-hand. It's nothing to do with ransom. I'd much prefer there were easier rooting methods available. My full-time job is reverse-engineering and exploiting Huawei devices, so it would make my job much easier.

Many moons ago, "JTAG'ing" a Microsoft Xbox 360 console required a but of heavy lifting...and by that, I mean a lot of specialized effort and knowledge to carry about a successful JTAG, see what I mean:
https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-JTAG-your-Xbox-360-and-run-homebrew/
So - with that in mind - are you literally pulling the Mate 20 Pro phone apart with special tools and connecting wires to it running specialized patent-pending software/s? I obviously need to ask as you have failed several times to mention WHY you need the "phone in hand" to root?!
Otherwise, if you're insinuating that it takes a lot of manual rebooting, flashing and lots of complicated software steps - well, that's why there's things called instruction guides....and people like me around offering to put one together so I/we can SHARE and help others in my position (who would want a rooted global version of this). So I will once again state, unless you can elaborate otherwise, it is in fact a ransom...imagine how much Chainfire, all those years ago, could've charged Samsung users for his (albeit, simpler) root method across the range and years of phone and tab models?

Just to add to this I'm willing, within reason, to help out in any way possible to achieve Magisk root for the global version. There is currently a pledged amount of around £170 and hell, even if some of those didn;t pay out I'd be willing to put more in....
If we can assist in anyway let us know....

If it was something like this, I would be offering it as a do-at-yourself service, with a tool. I can't offer it like that, I need the phone in-hand to do it, as I said.

I guess one could then ask the question: What if someone in relation to Huawei pays you for a phone (global) pre-rooted. Then, they investigate how or where the exploit was made - and eventually patch it anyway? It may take longer, but we'd end up in the same position as before if Huawei wanted to control root on their global models...and, given your work/livelihood, you would know better than most: If Huawei did NOT want this to happen, they certainly wouldn't make the CN version as simple and easy to root as you claim in this thread...and they'd have something in the pipeline, if not available now ready to patch the exploit...
I still do not see how the CN and Global versions can be so completely and insanely different.

MI 9T PRO : THIS DEVICE IS LOCKED, FIND DEVICE ON, BOOTLOADER LOCKED, DONT HAVE MI ACCOUNT USERNAME, PASSWORD AND MOBILE NUMBER. I NEED HELP AND GUIDE

Guys hope all of you doing good.. Be careful and check before buying used mobiles.
My wife she bought MI 9T PRO through facebook marketplace which they sold very low price. She used that mobile for few days then the device went into bootloop. Then i did factory reset which went into locked screen and ask for unlock code. Only im able to connect with Wifi which is no use. The seller didn't provide any MI Acccount details or any mobile number which associated with MI Account. We asked his help but he told that last year he bought from some other person who's unreachable as of now.
Note: Its not stolen or lost mobile. We paid for that thats why struggling to fix it. Its our mistake that we are careless when buying used mobile. Lesson learned
I did my best to fix it by myself. Here is Error list and its going to be big challenge for me to bring back the device to life.
RAPHEAL GLOBAL VERSION 12.0.4.0
RECOVERY VERSION 3.0
I GUESS MAJOR ISSUE IS FIND DEVICE ON
1. MI FLASH TOOL
Cannot flash "Find Device On" and "Use Authorized Account".
2. BOOTLOADER LOCKED
Error: Cannot receive token to unlock bootloader. (Fastboot working). So i cannot flash TWRP to do complete wipe
3. MI UNLOCK TOOL - Fail at 99% because i try using different account to unlock (I dont have current MI account details)
4. QFIL (QUELCOMM FLASH TOOL) - EDL MODE
I used TEST POINTS to go into EDL MODE and try to flash old version, new version so many times. Only 2 minutes QFIL flash results "DOWNLOAD COMPLETED". After i turn on the device still its lock protected.
5. MAGIC BOX TOOL WITHOUT DONGLE- EDL MODE
Simply Its not working for me and throw errors. Please help me if you know how to use it properly for Mi 9t pro.
6. I.MI.COM
I submit application there but i didnt get any response until now. I dont know that MI CLOUD will help to or not because we are third owner.
7. UNLOCK SERVICES ONLINE
I read some topics about the same kind of issues they recommend to use kind of russian forums which i dont know exact site and im scared to be a victim again.
8. BYPASS TOOLS
More tools on internet i tried but nothing seems to be working. Always i get error and failed. "Hello packet issues in Mi unlock bypass tools".
9. NO AUTH FIREHOSE PATCH FILES
i found some firehose no auth files which doesnt help me to resolve the issues.
10. DOWNGRADE OR UPGRADE VERSIONS
I dont have idea that which tool i have to use for complete flash.
11. ADB
ADB Not working on fastboot. Im not sure adb enabled or disabled.
12. I dont have any FLASH TOOL BOX or DONGLES to try any other advanced methods.
Guys help me and guide me. Im struggling almost one week to fix this issue. Now covid19 pandemic so i cannot bring it to the service centers which may be expensive.
Sorry for my grammar mistakes, typo errors. I hope you guys understand the issues. Hoping for the best.

you need to email Xiaomi global, if they don't accept, email them again until they do, most likely your seller sold you a stolen device, btw don't waste your time trying to fix it yourself, I highly doubt it will work.
and also accept the fact that your 9t pro may never be functional again...
here is an example of what you could email them

Hello brother. Thank you for your reply. I thought nobody will respond my thread because long time i didnt get any reply. As you said i sent email before one week but service.global refused to unlock my mobile. They told me to submit application at i.mi.com which i tried before 15 days. I didnt get response from i.mi.com.
Yesterday i contact them again. They told me to contact any service centers with purchase receipt. Also they gave another email ID which is xiaomi service in my county. I dont know that they want to help or not. Im confused and xiaomi customer service not good enough to give appropriate solution. I dont know whats next

You need an authorised account to flash in EDL mode. The average Joe cannot use Qualcomm tools on this phone. There are people who will remotely connect to your PC and perform the MIUI flash for you, using their own authorised account. They will charge around USD $20, but sometimes as high as $40.

@Robbo.5000 . Thank you for your information brother. It has active find device status thats why i cannot flash with an authorized account. I believe it will relock again and our 40$ which we spend will be useless. Please let me know if its not true. Please Share with me if you know any solution for lost mode xiaomi device.

Pls respect bro. My wife was scammed by online seller. If anybody msg prove thats their device, its ok i will return it to them. I already complain also to xiaomi global about this. We were scammed by seller that I already mentioned in my post. Please learn to respect people here bro. Hope u understand that this forum is not for fighting or disrespect others. You have lot of posts here and you are senior member in this forum but u dont know how to comment without hurting others. If you cannot help pls stay away bro. Keep in mind that THINKERS ARE DOERS.

Find cops if you are saying you got scammed.
Even if you are the victim, Xiaomi has no responsibility to help for illegal acts. You need legal force to make Xiaomi unlock it for you.
Xiaomi will help if you have purchase receipt.

Yes, i complain already local police station. but the seller already deleted his fb account. They said he used fake credentials and nowadays more scam online. They told me to send mail to xiaomi and inform this issue so they will contact the owner and come back to you. But the reality nothing happened. Xiaomi said they cannot help regarding this issue. Seller sent the item through cash on delivery motorcycle rider delivery service. The rider service just pickup the item at any location and deliver to the destination. The seller was wearing a face mask so the rider couldn't be able to look at his face. I followup and go through the formalities and i spend my time and effort on that. Finally everybody advise me and they told me to be careful next time. Thats why im here to ask for help. If i cant fix it then i leave the device on my shelf until i find solution. I spent money on that so im hoping for the best to happen. Its ok if the owner contact me ill return the device if its really lost.

Wow, let me tell you.
Blackhawk isnt trying to disrespect you or anything, yes he is a long time member of XDA so what.
He is rightfully able to be suspicious as people do it a lot here.
XDA cannot instruct you to unlock a locked phone if it is done by illegal means.
You can just take it to the centre and get it unlocked by xiaomi by providing proof of ownership

If you have the original box or you should just take it to xiaomi repair centre and explain to them.
Blackhawk is a pretty nice xda member and pretty much my only friend on here lmao.
He is giving you more respect then you deserve right now for outlashing at him because he is rightfully suspicious.
Your circumstances are very suspicious.
We have every right not to help you or to help you. He came here on his own to try help you and you are acting like this?
Hmm?

Pls read my post and know first that i have box or ownership. I told clearly in my post that we bought used mobile online and we received like this. When i open the parcel i dont get charger or any other box along with the item. Everybody bringing the free advice and im thankful for that. I defend with the previous comment because he try to accuse me that my firsr thread is all about stolen mobile. He also mentioned that return it to the owner it seems all of u trying to accuse me. Thats why i request all of u that if u have solution just post in my thread so i will go through that. Don't put me down or make me feel guilty for what happened to us. I understand what you coming to say and thank you for that.

Also I favout Xiaomi MIUI account protection as that only initaties if factory reset was done by going to the recovery menu and resetting.
It would not ask if it was reset normally.
So it means that someone had reset the phone without unlocking it normally and going to settings, I doubt the person who sold the phone even knew who had it. It is stolen definitely, if that seller bought it the person who sold it to them would have done the reset the right way.
This post is just all wrong and you won't be able to fix it.
Don't post threads on here asking people for help in potentially illegal and implicating others in your problem there.
I cannot even express how bad it would be if you got caught and they found that someone helped you unlock a stolen phone?
Don't you know when you were trying to unlock it the original owner could track the IMEI with the police?
The IMEI cannot be changed on your phone since the bootloader is locked.
If you are legitimately saying the truth then you don't need to worry, but if you have stolen it then it is only a matter of time before the police knock on your door.
AND FINALLY
XDA Developers forums do not endorse any type of potentially illegal activity and will take strict actions against people who are part of it.

Okay fine, but all that's is to inform the police to track if it is stolen.
Maybe you'll get your money when they find the culprit who scammed you.

We cannot help you unlock a phone that is protected by factory data protection, it is there for a reason and we cannot violate the rule that it was placed there for.
And the fact that it could implicate us in legal stuff is something we don't need during these times

Please read his first comment. He said return it to the owner so it will work. I know It happened in our life that we were scammed by seller. Its our fault that we didnt meet the person and we didnt check the item before make payment. For that no need to put me down for asking help. Its ok if there is no solution. We accept that is loss and we learnt to be careful from that.

FRP Lock on A71 bought for daughter, Help Please

Good day to all,
I still have my A71 and so does my other half.
We don't use frp etc as I'm always in control with security etc.
BUT recently bought an A71 aka A715 on one ui 13 and I didn't pay attention stupidly as was rushing to get back to work, buying during lunch.
Anyhow, come to email part of it and it says I need to log in with email.
Amazingly seller blocks me.
I know an older phone but it's immaculate and little ones first phone being 10.
I have done to no avail many attempts on unlocking, but can not get debugging option.
Any wise words from many of helpful members on here that possibly has an answer.
Best wishes

This is not entirely true. So long as members are not admitting to any wrong doing, or other members offering paid services for "FRP" unlocks, then we give our members the
benefit of the doubt to seek a solution to their problem.
There have been several occasions where XDA Mods have made a mistake, and have had to circumvent "FRP" in order to regain access to their device.
Therefore, this discussion may continue.
-Regards: Badger50

If you have a computer, you can probably install Samsung USB Drivers and use SamFw to FRP unlock it. This is what i've seen people do but I genuinely don't know if it work.
I wish you luck.
(edit: I just noticed you said you tried FRP unlocking but to no avail. try maybe reflashing stock fw?)

I have flashed fresh firmware being latest.
But it appears where I have to sign in with the account used.
I assume was ex contract?
Personally we only use pay as go, always have, thus the assumption.
Tried the Samsung frp tool and looked at numerous videos.
The issue is when to press ok in the adb debugging. After test screen.
At this point, no message pops up.
Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly, it it's due to being on android 13?
Would it be a good idea to fresh flash Android 12 as there'd be more success?
Best wishes and thank you for allowing the thread to continue, it's much appreciated

I have good experience with FRP bypass, have bypassed several devices. I have worked in a phone repair shop. The bypass method depends on the Android version and security patch level. Most of the tutorials are outdated, and most free bypass tools won't even work. Also, there are some paid ones that also do not support all versions or all Samsung models.
If you see a tutorial for your device on a specific Android version or security, then you need to downgrade the version using Odin, if it is possible, because sometimes you cannot downgrade to a lower binary.
Also, progeeksblog has written an in-depth guide with all the possible solutions and, at the same time, provides an unlock service.

The bootloader hasn't changed since Android 11 atleast for my CSC. I don't know for others. I do know that XEO has 11 on the same BL ver and people say XEO is very reliable. You can try that.

Well,
Can say a massive thank you, frp removed.
Phone now fully operational.
Downgraded to 12, used the samfw tool 3.2 and following superb video, was simple.
Seriously thank you for all your advice and for the mod for allowing the thread to continue.
