G550T1UVU1APED is that the firmware? That's the one I see on the back of my phone. So I got lucky that the G550T1_PF1_Recovery worked for me. So the back of my phone says: G550T1UVU1APED but on my about device it now says: G550T1UVU1APF1 . LOOOOOL

Hmm really? Before I found this method, I did what you do just flash the 3 files and leave the AP blank in odin. And then just flash the AP by itself. And then, using side sync with my SD card on my phone, I just copied my backup data files into my phone like replace the data folder etc.

And then I found that method and it works for me. That FRP apk in the video actually does not work for me so I look for other youtube videos which has essentially same method and downloaded that other frp lock apk and that worked.

I told you it is a looooooooooong arduous process LOL. I hope you understand what I am taking about.

I also did the sign in google from other device and remove my on5 on the list and sign out on all my devices.

Who knows what any of those methods did the trick and made that dialer method work for me. It is puzzling isn't it how it is a miss and hit on messing with computers and phones and commands.

Make sure you follow everything. Is your SIM card in there? Did you put the right com port? Did you click change after you change the com port?

Here I searched your error I found this. You are not the only one with that error:

http://www.rootjunky.com/universal-samsung-frp-bypass/

See the comments some of them combined that process and other process like I did. I see someone said he tried 911 instead of 1234 and it worked.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
:( that is not my firmware version. It may have something to do with the firmware version then.

I did not want to try 911. I would not want them to send the police to my house thinking that there was a real emergency.

I will keep reading and searching. At least you got it to work. This means that I keep my hope.

Thanks for replying!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
What's yours then? I updated my post I said the back of my phone has a different firmware from my about device info now.

I hope it does not mess up my phone if I do factory/normal updates in the future. Like what happen to my other phone - alcatel. And that is why I am not a fan of updating, windows always freeze/ mess up my PC after their auto update.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Mine is G550T1UVU1APF1, same as yours. I do not why mine does not work :(

You did not mess up your phone. our firmware is probably the updated version. That is all. They cover all the patches with their updates.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
Was yours frp/google lock from the get go when you bought it used? Do you have a back up before you got locked out?

Why don't you try just replacing the data folder in your phone with data folder from your back up? I use side sync to do that.

When I say I use side sync. I just use it to make my phone show in PC explorer so I can see my storage card and my device card. And I just copy and replace data from my back up to my phone.

After I do that I saw something change in my google verify screen. It went from this:

https://blog.unlockbase.com/wp-content/frp-lock-google-verify-screen.png

to this:

IT is still in english but those dots on left hand corner was there now. I don't know dude, computers, I am telling you, they work in mysterious ways.

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Speaking of computers working in mysterious ways, I register for the first time in my samsung account when I was still lock out following the method. And they put my model # and serial on the email they sent me for my records... now apparently my model # is:

Model # SM-G550TZKATMK

But my serial number is the same as in the back of my phone.

I guess that solved the mystery of why I get error message when I use samsung kies. They put the wrong model number on my phone? What the hell.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
I actually do not have any backups for this phone. I bought this phone with the Google account on it online.

Maybe the Samsung account uses a different serial number to identify the devices... I do not know :(

I just do not know what else to do with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
I tried kies again with the info they emailed me. Same error - s/n not recognized. Maybe the firmware is not yet officially available for this phone.

I also read about FRP on samsung site. The simple solution was to sign out in your google account before you factory reset your phone. I read about it coz I want to factory reset this to fix the video call function but I erase everything on Odin so I figure it will just recover the same firmware I use to flash it and not my default one.

Plus, I am really scared to do a reset on this phone now. I just have to remember to just remove my all accounts before I do factory reset though which I presume will be never.

Call google. I did. They had a samsung rep talk to me. They will fix my phone for free as long as I emailed them my receipt. I think that's what you can do. You had the latest firmware. So that means the latest bug fixes. That means your S.O.L. Sorry.

You bought it knowing it is in google verify locked status? Why? How much did you pay for that? My phone when we went to metropcs store coz I brick my alcatel, I was supposed to buy a new galaxy on5 it was $49 like my brick alcatel. So it will cost me $80 total.

But the guy in there offered to give me this used for $50 total. But mine is not locked though. SO i was able to make a backup. I would not buy a phone messed up like that.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Kies would not support MetroPCS or AT&T software to my understanding.

I only have my PayPal receipt for the phone. I do not think that would work for Samsung.

This phone was purchased for $65. I really thought that I was getting a good deal since i even helped a neighbor to Google bypass his Galaxy S7. So i thought that this cheap On5 was a given. I thought wrongly. I will keep trying new methods.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
You bought it for $65 google locked? How are you gonna use it as phone though? I am confused well thanks you made me feel I have a good deal on my phone $15 less than you pay for and all set up ready to use until I mess it up but then I fix it again. :good:

You can always try I mean tell them you only have paypal receipt coz you bought it online. I think the phone was stolen though :cyclops: not by you but by your seller. :D
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Well, actually the IMEI is clear and ready to activate with MetroPCS. This phone is not stolen. Otherwise i would not even bother on Google bypass it. I was planning to upgrade my secondary phone. I never spend a lot of money on secondary phones since i require two phones in my job. What actracted me the most about this phone was the fact that it has the Marshmallow firmware. My currently secondary phone is the Grand Prime. But the Grand Prime still has Lollipop. The phone has not been upgraded yet as of now.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
You could have save money and trouble if you just went to metropcs. New phone will only cost you $49 you paid $15 more on a used google lock phone.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Yes, I understand. But I do not like MetroPCS. Besides, they usually get you to buy their plans by offering cheap phones. But if you want to purchase just the phone without plans, then the price is different. I rather pay the phone in my own and choose any company I want. Keep in mind that I was not expecting this phone to be so hard/impossible to bypass. Anyways, I already made the mistake so let's focus on the Google unlocking/bypass deal :)
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
We don't have contract my husband hates those. We have prepaid always so I have like 4-5 phones lying around coz we buy phones everytime he sees a lower prepaid plan. LoL.

Try the 911 trick you are dialing it without the sim card attached. I don't think they can trace you. Although I think that emergency call is disabled in google verify lock in the latest firmware which was yours.

MetroPCS is really good aka cheap, we are paying $50/month for 2 phones unlimited everything.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
I am currently in LycaMobile $23.00 unlimited everything too. It works on the T-Mobile network. No need of two phone service to get the price. Also, the price can be lowered to $20.97 monthly if you use the auto-renewal.

I will try the 911 trick.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] whodisname:
Metro pcs is giving this phone away free.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Well, it is not free. You have to purchase one of their plans otherwise they would charge you for the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] whodisname:
Well yeah, thats true.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Solved!! There is a guy who removed the Google lock like in around 2 minutes remotely. eBay user ID "Maicolodalis1". His WhatsApp number is +1 (809) 997-5522 just in case somebody needs the service as well.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] ressone:
I found a method that works but I'm not sure if anyone is interested or if I can post external links.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
You should post it so it can help a LOT of people. Or you can just PM it to me. This google verify lock is insane. I have never seen anything like this. I blame the phone thieves for this.

I would try to officially upgrade my firmware in kies so I need the method that works for you in case the method that worked for me before don't work anymore after my kies update.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Yes, please post it or PM to us. I had to pay to have it Google bypassed.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Yes, this is not only about theives. The company that i work for upgraded their phones. They donted them to a local charity institution. Most of those phones still had the workers Google accounts/screen passwords on them. I beat that those phone are going to get Google locked when they are factory reset. We need to help other people.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
Well if they are old phones I don't think they will be. I read this stupid lock feature started in Lollipop version. Wow. And you paid again?! :( for your used phone.

Hopefully you learned your lesson. I think these phone companies like that stupid lock features too so people will be FORCED to buy new phones always now. :eek:

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

It is so fast how they patch the bugs. If you look at youtube the google verify lock methods always get updated because the method that worked before all of a sudden don't work anymore. They made android like windows now. Once you update, your phone is messed up. My other phone alcatel got bricked that way!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Yes, i would rather get them used all the time even if they have to be old models. I am not up to spend $500-$850 on a phone that 8 months later you can buy for $250-$400 or get into free phone plans so they can cover the phone cost evrytime people pay their phone bills. Phones companies are never going to cover all the holes. They would never stop people from bypassing their $0.99 Google locks or whatever. It is only a matter of time.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] ressone:
Here is what worked for me. I have the g550t1 metro version given to me by a friend for fixing his cam set up. It was Google frp from him trying to just reset to give to me.

Any way I followed this guide completely not skipping any steps and watching the whole video. Also be sure to use the apk and files he provides, I had an apk someone else provided in another video that didn't work on my memory card and this didn't work for the first hour of trying because I has the wrong file.

I don't know if this method has been discussed but its the only way I found to get frp off pretty easily.

Here is the link if I can post it

rootjunky.com/universal-samsung-frp-bypass/

If link gets removed its on rootjunky's website under universal Samsung frp bypass.

Again thus is just what worked for me after days of trying and I hope it helps. If this post doesn't fly I'll start PMing people as soon as I can.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Great post. I tried this method. I probably did not have the correct file on the microSD card. I tried many times. I ended up paying somebody to FRP unlock it. I must have been doing something wrong because this method also worked for the xda member "Asianrocker". I probably did not get the correct files on the microSD. I am curious now :/
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
Are you trying to say you were able to make your dialer pop out? Did the 911 trick did it? So the only problem you encounter is the FRP apk file you used didn't work? There are a lot of FRP apk files you could have tried. But I do understand the frustration you could have been feeling by then so you are just ready to do anything. Just to solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
I could not make the diealer to pop out. I did not try the 911 trick. The rootjunky method refers to his specific FRP file. Yes, this is really frustrating.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] AC1Gingie:
Do you have the modem flash or bootloader flash for the on5? Mine got bricked and Im trying to narrow down what I need to do to fix it
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
If your phone is bricked, try reflashing the full firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] AC1Gingie:
Its not that easy, phone only goes into download mode and says FRP lock prevents boot when I turn it on, also Odin and Kies wont cooperate with the phone, tried flashing firmware, failed, tried flashing TWRP because its not on there anymore for some reason but that also failed. so Im looking for stock recoveriy or bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:

[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] AC1Gingie:
I ran into another problem like usual, phone says Custom Binary(BOOT) Blocked by FRP Lock, any idea what to do? it let me flash the bootloader but thats it
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
You might be flashing the wrong firmware. Make sure that you are using the correct/corresponding Metro PCS/T-Mobile firmware for your device. If your phone is a Metro PCS, it would not let you install the T-Mobile firmware because of the FRP lock and vice verse.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
if the dialer will not pop out on the samsung sign in screen start up side sync on pc andplug the phone in and you should get a pop up to go to the galaxy store then u can do the es file explorer from there

edit: i know this method works as ive bought bypassed frp and resold at least 5 galaxy on5 within the last week
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Nice, I will try this on my next FRP locked On5. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
yea, ive done many core primes, grand primes, on5s even some htc desires (with other methods)
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Great, so this RootJunky method works for almost all android devices.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] AC1Gingie:
Well I have the T-Mobile version, and mine also is just the SM-G550T on the model number, I was running android 6.0.1 as well. Never had android 5 on it so I cant restore to that firmware. I downloaded the correct firmware and everything, but still no progress

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

The link to the G550T isnt the correct firmware, after downloading I realized that its actually the G550T1 version.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Yes, actually the On5 came originally with Marshmallows. There is not a Lollipop version for this phone to my understanding.

Did you flashed all the files correctly on every BL, AP, CP, CSC, and so on? I so, try only flashing AP, CP, and CSC only. Just do not flash the bootloader BL. Let's see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] AC1Gingie:
I lined up all the correct files in Odin, spent like 3 hours last night trying to figure it out what I was doing wrong. Im about to give it another try right now, Im going to post all the errors I get on the phone and from Odin to see if you or someone else can figure out what is wrong.

So, when I flash the bootloader, everything works. It flashes and reboots to the FRP lock boot screen with no errors.

When I try and flash the AP file I get an error almost immediately, Phone says that its blocked because of FRP Custom Binary(BOOT) Blocked by FRP Lock

When I try and flash the modem or CP, it gets about 3 quarters of the way and stops at the writing process, odin says fail and the phone says there's an issue with the radio, SECURE CHECK FAIL (RADIO)

The firmware I downloaded also doesn't have a CSC file on it, it has something else called OPT_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5 , is that the CSC file? but if it is it doesn't work anyways, almost fails immediately in Odin with no error message on the phone but odin says Complete(Write)Operation failed.

Also when I flash the PIT file, odin says Re-Partition Operation failed. On the phone it says SECURE CHECK FAIL (PIT)

On Odin 3.12

Thats pretty much all the info I've gotten from everything, hopefully someone can help, been trying to figure this out for like a week straight searching all over this forum and youtube trying my best but **** doesnt wanna go my way.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Try the CSC file from the MetroPCS firmware. Then do the full Odin flash
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] AC1Gingie:
I just wanna thank you for all your help man. It finally worked, Im now running the metro PCS firmware but everything seems to be working right, my sim card and everything is all good. But thank you for continuing to help me, I wouldnt have be able to do it without you. I really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Thank you for following up. I am really happy for having helped you like others have helped me. This is a great community. I am glad that everything worked out. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] adrockr:
Would you mind possibly doing a step by step with links on this on this while it is fresh on your mind? I have been struggling with the same thing pretty much the last 2 days. I'm sure I won't be the first one to need it. I have the exact same issue with the exact same phone (t-mob sm-g550t).
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
no, sorry if i misled lol.. it works on lots of Samsung devices with security prior to August...

LG I used another method.

HTC I used another method.. I used an X2Clip software I believe its called that allowed adb even with it not being enabled (usb debugging authorization pops up on the screen) and then an adb command to bring up the browser then shortcut into settings and factory reset lol.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] GalaxyVibe:
Lol, sorry, i meant to say this method works for almost all Samsung Galaxy devices :)
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
Wow. That's a new one, now Samsung 'infiltrated' odin flashing too?!! Whoa, that is scary!!!

Yep. I too am curious what you did that it finally worked. That Odin 'lock' just scares me to really do anything with this phone, I think I will sell this. Buy a VR ready phone, to use for my VR gear.

Samsung is scaring me. Is samsung the only one with FRP/Google lock? Or all newer android phones are this lock tight? Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
FRP/Google lock/Protection is on EVERY Android phone since 5.1.1 Lollipop

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

he needs to oem unlock the device to odin unsigned tars or tars that dont match the device but in doing so will void the warranty

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

Also, what do you think Samsung uses to flash their devices? lol they are Odin, wouldnt say they infiltrated it haha
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
I know Samsung use Odin as flash software for their phone dude. If you saw my previous post my built in software was different from the files I flash but mine says OFFICIAL in odin download mode after I flash a different firmware from my built in one. So I think they really did something on ODIN security file check. After all ODIN is their official flash tool. I think rooting forums should go undeground, coz samsung and all these phone company and even google are I think reading and watching all you guys. All the tricks you put here, they put security patch right away. IT is freaking crazy. So to those phone company people, and I know you are reading this, all I can say to all of you is - YOU ARE PARTY POOPERS.

Whatever dude, I made up my mind, I will replace this phone with ZTE zmax pro. Because I want a VR ready phone for my new toy - VR gear.

Good luck you guys. Reading this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/general/help/looking-samsung-galaxy-on5-sm-g550t1-t3416761/page15

Makes my head spin. Why do you even bother with custom ROMS even with this crazy lock features these brand new phones are putting now?

I honestly think it really buzz killed the fun on 'rooting' phones nowadays. And I am officially done rooting. I strongly advice all you guys do the same especially with this headache inducing phone. Seriously. :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
zte zmax pro also has frp/google lock lol

if u want vr get a s6 or newer and a 2016 model gear vr ;) best mobile vr hands down right now
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] asianrocker:
Well so is S6 has frp/google lock. You said yourself 5.1 and newer phones has them, remember. And I won't be scared of frp/google lock anymore because I will repeat it again and again and even caps lock it:

I WON'T ROOT ANY OF MY PHONES ANYMORE!! :rolleyes:

Not worth the headache because of this frp/google lock on all new phones.

S6 is pricey. So no. :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i think u got it all wrong lol.. rooting has nothing at all to do with frp/google lock...

if u get any android and forget your password u will google/frp lock it regardless of root lol samsung or zte or any other android it doesnt matter
