[Shield Q&A] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

Does anyone know of a way to mod the OS, installer APK, or whatever else so that games like Doom BFG or Borderlands 2 may be played on the Shield Portable? I've searched for about 30 minutes now but it's difficult as all references I've found have been people playing one of the games via GRID / Nvidia's online streaming and a couple of non-proven claims.

I read one post my Nvidia's staff where BFG wasn't released supposedly because it only got 30fps and understand that the hardware isn't what the tablet has, but would think it would still be possible. I've read many posts before for how to install other apps on devices that don't officially support them so would think it would be possible.

My portable is on the latest image, is rooted, and I own many games as I have a Shield Tablet too, but would love to be able to play them on my portable.

Thanks!
[Shield Q&A] astuermer:
As far as I know, the portable has no OpenGL 3.x - it's only 2.x.

BFG Edition and other games need OpenGL 3.

That's the same reason, most current games published in the PlayStore won't work/install on the Portable anymore.

Hi, I'm a total noob on this but I don't know where to start to looking for an answer.

My girlfriend went on vacation (from Chile) to the united states, her mother gave her a cell phone (her cell phone at that moment) an almost new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935P) from the Sprint Network.

Before returning to Chile the cell phone was unlocked (or so they said at Spring), so here in Chile she put her local carrier SIM but the cell phone never recognized the Sim Card.

So she hard reset the cell phone. Everything went well until he had to enter the original Gmail account for the cell phone. Her mother did not remember the password so after som trial and error, they manged to reset the Google Account. But now when I try to enter de Gmail and password give me this error: Unable to sign in device due to a recent password change. try again in 24 hours, I have waited more than 24 hours and still can't activate the account.

The cell phone is still showing at her known devices in her mother's Gmail account, and the password is correct but I can't by pass the Gmail Activation, I was reading that I can downgrade to a firmware that allowed me to by pass the Samsung FRP but I don't know wich firmware I can use.

Can someone plase guide me how can I activate this cell phone.

Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] godpowerrr:
edit: You were right I apologize.

If you want to get your password then whoever knows the best information will need to tell google over the phone what that information was when initially set up...birthdays, time of creation,etc-when they ask and %100 will ask. If she/you don't know it..you may never get it back... but calling their --> Customer Support <-- is your best option.

For s7 edge Android 7.0

So I found a way to bypass Google frp on Android 7.0 for the s7 edge and couple other model, it's an old way but modified. First enter into the Google account login screen where it says verify your account. All you do is simply over load it with characters. Tyler a bunch misc letters and number until you have a long good string then begine select all copy paste do this until your phone seem like it going to freeze up. I did it until it took about 2-5 mins to go through. Doing this will send you to a screen says error something went wrong. Hit enternor continue and if you notice this time when it goes back to verify your account the screen should have a black background at the top where's your notifacatioons are . Repeat 2-3-4 times overloading it and getting the error message I'm not sure exactly how many time think it suffers a on phone and Android build I just know once isn't enough to do it so do it a fewbtime it'll take awhile to get the first error but after that you should have the character line copies and ready to paste. After a couple time hit back arrow on your phone clear to where it ask to select language or start screen and emergency call if done correctly it should now give you the accessibility menu also enter into the accessibility option and modify your set up. Mess with stuff a little be careful with setting up universal switches as you can really mess yourself up. At some point in time you should be able to get your notification menu to drop down and open. When this happens hit the little setting menu button long click it and it should shortcut you to system settings. Bypassing for temporarily. Set up your setting and movie your app permissions as much as possible. Now the trick is getting my Knox downloaded open and set up on your phone. Once you do this make sure you click on both my Knox and regular device administration for know to have some control and make sure you say yes for Knox to be able to reset wipe your phone . After device administration is set and that all done go to your pc or another phone tablet whatever and log into know online and you hold re your phone connected on it white a button that says wipe this phone. Click it make sure the phone has Wi-Fi or service connected and wait for phone to wipe this should reset frp and Google verification back to being a new phone. There ya go merry Christmas

Is this fix legit?^^
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ☆KØŁØЯΛĐØ☆:
Fцck no it ain't legit. Dude probably got baked & strung up that nonsense to laugh at folks who tried it. You could string up a petrabyte worth of miscellaneous characters so long that your phone would be permanently frozen... & you wouldn't get an error message to pop up, let alone one that would change your notification bar background color or whatever else he said

S7 & S7 Edge FRP [SOLVED]

Here's the real S7 & S7 Edge FRP bypass method..

Nougat 7.0+ will

NOT

work; You

NEED

to downgrade to Marshmallow. Links to Stock Firmware & FRP Removal files posted at the bottom.

- Download & extract the .zip file from my Google Drive below to your PC, then extract + run Odin

- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)

- Once the device reboots to the Welcome page, run the Qualcomm.bat file (reboots to Download Mode &

removes FRP Lock

)

- Back in Download Mode, flash the [MM] Stock ROM (CSC_HOME keeps user data; CSC wipes user data)

You've now successfully kicked FRP's ass from the device. Congrats.

NOTICE:

- You will be able to upgrade back to Nougat 7.0 following successful FRP Removal

- I INTENTIONALLY LEFT A FEW STEPS OUT. It took me a solid week to finally crack this migraine of a phone. You WILL have to figure some parts out on your own just like I did. If you cant, why are you even here?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jazzdglass:
Flashing the boot image tar file causes bootloop. I believe that's also the eng boot file? For root? How do you solve bootloop? Also what marshmallow were you on before doing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] keiichitroncio:
I have not been able to fix it yet, it wasn't on MM it was Nougat.

You know another boot file I can use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jazzdglass:
There is Nougat boot files. Check xda here for Qualcomm s7 root. There's a boot file you need to flash before doing adb root.bat..this enables adb, But this also causes bootloop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] keiichitroncio:
I've been reading a lot a topics here at XDA and I'm overly confused about which method or boot file to use.

Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jazzdglass:
Just downgrade to marshmallow.. Try PJ2.. I used that. Flash the boot file provided, run Qualcomm.bat via adb.. Then flash again 6.0.1... If phone reboot after flash boot file, you'll have to be very fast, after phone boot to welcome screen, before it reboots, keep running the Qualcomm.bat till u see adb recognize device. It will say error. About phone storage. Just ignore. It has been unlocked

I have a G935V that is stuck with FRP. I reset my password today and then happened to try to flash a new ROM (didnt know about FRP at the time).

Been trying this all day, but cant get the S7 & S7 Edge QUALCOMM.bat to run on the phone... a flashed back to MM and the Boot.rar pushes fine, but when the phone gets to the welcome screen its like my computer doesn't recognize the phone is connected. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] pottyvick:
This worked great on my VZW s7 (just had to get the right VZW firmware)...

[MENTION=4982679]KjK89[/MENTION], you have to run the .bat file before the welcome screen. I basically kept running it over and over during boot and it took before th welcome screen.

Thanks So much, the only thing that actually worked!

Anybody looking for a fix for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Factory Reset Protection Bypass needs to follow these steps and you'll get past this pesky protection.

The only step that wasn't clear was this:

- Flash the boot.tar file that corresponds with your device (enables ADB)

On Odin you have to choose the boot.tar file corresponding to your model number. This is done by selecting the BL button and only that one then in Odin click Start. This might be clear for veterans to flashing phones with new firmwares but it wasn't clear for me, being the n00b that I am. Thanks again. This worked great!

Samsung flagship tablets historically have got 2 major updates.

However the Tab A isn't a flagship device, so it's a bit so so as to what that update is all about.

it boots OK both device has the same specs (both has Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916)...I download 555 firmware (7.1.1), and build the ROM using SuperRs Kitchen, and flash to my SM-T350 (identical to SM-T550)...is it stable? of course not..but it booted...

I used T555 boot image (that comes with firmware)...I was kind of experimenting to see if it will book and works, so my build pretty much experimental build...and yes I was surprised it booted OK...but did not spent a lot of time to see what other stuff works or any FCs...like I said in previous post, it is pretty unstable though..maybe I will spend some more time and see if I can make it stabale, but thinking since this one got 7.1.1, I am sure SM-T350/T550 should be on way in very soon!

A few more countries got the SM-T550 7.1.1 update including the UK.

Like the new "Samsung Experience"

Tablet seems a bit slicker now; a simple slide up is all that's required to open the app drawer.

A lot of the junkware is gone as well, most of the default settings make sense and some features like Device Cleanup have been integrated straight into the main settings app.

Multi user support has been ditched in favour of multi window.

Strangely they've included some LTE settings in the ROM for the WiFi only model; attempting to alter those causes the settings app to crash.

At first I thought something had gone disastrously wrong after flashing with ODIN.

I'd expected the tablet was going to complain about a dirty flash, with me needing to Factory Reset it through the service menu but it hung on a blue screen with ERROR! after first reboot.

After a slight delay it did take me into the service menu automatically - where a wipe and reboot solved it.

Is the phone working , can it connect to your carrier in India?

Firmware , you can use XAC unbranded W8

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/XAC/

What CSC do you have right now , use phoneinfo app to see it , if it is a different CSC than XAC , your phone will factory reset when changing CSC , you could use firmware with the same CSC you have and that way there will not be a factory reset, as reference check this threads
