GSM-Forum - View Single Post - Tab A SM-T285 FRP Lock Need Help

David2Jones3 · 09-16-2017, 00:01

As the title states, I'm having issues getting around the FRP lock on a Galaxy Tab A SM-T285.

Obviously don't know the google account and password. Have tried flashing a custom ROM, but FRP lock blocks the binary. I flashed a combination ROM using ODIN and was able to access developer settings via Factory Binary, but there was no option to 'Enable OEM Unlock', even after accessing Developer Settings by clicking on the relevant tab 7 times.

I can install .apk's on the device using the command module in adb toolkit, but none of the 'bypass FRP' apk's I've tried seem to work, unfortunately.

Any ideas what I could try to bypass, or remove the FRP lock, or maybe enable OEM unlocking via some other means? Perhaps there's a direct line of code I can use via abd? I have root access via Kingroot and I have FileExplorer and Chrome (with full internet access) at my disposal.

The tablet belongs to a family member who locked themselves out. If I were being paid by the hour, I'd already have spent more than the darned thing is worth, but it's a matter of personal pride at this point.

Thanks!
