It might be the problem that I'm using a German firmware and the tab was bought in Danmark. I'll try to download Nordic countries firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Tries to flash the Nordic Countries android 7 but It didn't work. It works with HOME_CSC BUT NOT CSC
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Seems MDM is blocking userdata.img.

Maybe try it with the android 6 CSC instead.

In any case are you able to boot to setup afterwards?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I'll try it in about 10 min as I need to charge the tab because the screen was flashing. And no, after the fail I couldn't boot up, not even the recovery only bootloader worked
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Nope didn't work aswell. Same error
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You can't boot at all even when flashing the whole android 7 firmware with HOME_CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
No i mean the normal CSC doesn't work. HOME_CSC works
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
But can you boot to setup at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Yes if I flash HOME_CSC I can boot into all the stuff. But when I flash It with CSC it FAILS, and says something about emergency recovery in smart switch which is useless since smart switch doesn't work with SM-T580
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
OK there may be another way to factory reset, that's if it hasn't been patched.

When going through setup if it asks to set up a password choose yes. If there is an option to reset after 15 wrong tries select it.

Then reboot and enter the password wrong 15 times that should hopefully factory reset the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Well it doesn't ask to setup a password. All there is: connect to WiFi, agree to terms of service and then it wants me to login with the previous account
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
OK try this method, it works on many devices and android versions. You may be lucky enough for it not to be patched.

It's a YouTube video link by Beut. Also see my post further down which simplifies the method.

I also highly recommend using the hotspot on another device not a router.

The aim is to open a browser. There are several ways to do this in this process.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
So I found another method. Im in the google search thing app. I searched for browser, but every time I click it, it says that Google play store keeps crashing
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Ok I found a completely different method. I got to Chrome, installed the Google account manager (7.1 because 6.1 didn't work) then I installed the quickshortcut maker but then when I try to find the email and password thing it isn't there
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I think it got removed in later versions.

If you type SETTINGS have you got USERS?

If you do then start that activity.

If you see the add user or profile then create a new profile and it will switch to that profile and allow you in then take you to the welcome screen.

Just continue as normal adding new user details.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I did find the users tab under settings. But when I pressed start nothing happened. Even if I opened settings through the applications tab and then pressed users it wouldn't open
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Any idea what I can do?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
If you can do the installation of google account manager 7.1 which doesn't have the option to type new email and password, then you can do the same to install the Google account manager 6.1 in the latest Android 6 ( build PL4 ).

The method you are using only works with the latest Android 6, so your best solution is downgrade software, install Google account manager 6.1 and quick shortcut maker. I have done over 500 FRP bypasses, and it's not a rocket science because I can do FRP bypass on six different Samsung tablets with ease ( Android 6 ), depending on the build, certain method should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
If the PL4 version of 6 didn't work, it's because YOU made a mistake somewhere along the line. There IS NO 7.1 solution. ONLY the right versions of 6, PL4 for sure, will break the FRP lock. I know the video is not very clear, but watch it carefully and YOU, like many many before, CAN unlock your tablet. AGAIN, if the PL4 solution fails, it is because YOU did something wrong. If you do it right it WILL work. Instead of looking for solutions that don't exist, find out what you are doing wrong with the one that does work. BTW, it doesn't matter what version of Android your tablet came with. ALL T580s and T585 can be saved with the PL4 method. EVERY single one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
Actually there are many FRP bypass and unlock password tools available and work with Android 7, but you have to pay at least $60 to get the hardware and cable.

This is not practical to someone just needs to unlock a tablet.

I did bypass some T580 or P580 by using GSM flasher ( cracked or paid version ) to boot the tablet to Download Mode, then flash the FRP removal file for Android 7. It takes around 1 minute to get it done, but this method will trigger the Knox count. Don't recommend to everyone because it's not free.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
The problem is he cannot downgrade because he is also MDM locked which prevents factory resetting from recovery.

Because of this the device won't boot to the OS when downgrading to android 6.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
But there is this black screen with password. Every time I downgrade. I even tried to make a Signature/gesture password on 7. Downgraded to 6 and then it wanted me to enter the gesture password before boot. But it didn't work. I don't think there's any password that Is working.

It's was a GG i guess
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Can you send me the link to the video?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lewmur:
video link
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Nope doesn't work. Anyone know a Version of android 6 that I can downgrade to from 7 and will not give me the black screen with password?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You could try nand erase all when flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I've read somewhere that should not even think about touching that option
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
But if you say so. When should I do it? When I flash android 6? Or reflash 7?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lewmur:
There is no ROM that will delete the MDM lock. As I've stated more than once, the FRP lock will NOT give you a blank screen on boot. ONLY an MDM lock, from a third party security firm and not Google, will cause that problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I didn't know that that was the MDM lock.

It wanted I password, so I went to 7 did some digging and managed to make gesture password. Downgraded to 6 (PL4) And it wanted me to enter the gesture code instead of the password but the gesture didn't work.

And then, if the MDM lock is being triggered on android 6 why doesn't it do that on android 7?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
When flashing the marshmallow firmware with odin check the nand erase all option.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Im about to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
What about repartition? And flash with CSC or HOME_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
As you said CSC will not flash, so will need to be HOME_CSC.

Try it without repartition.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Boots into recovery and download mode only. Doesn't boot into system even though it said pass on odin
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Also when in recovery it says

"No Support SINGLE-SKU

Supported API: 3"

Under that in red it says

"dm-verity verification failed...

Need to check DRK first..."
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
You'd have to ask the people that wrote the lock software why it responds in a different way on different versions of Android. All I know is that the FRP lock does NOT cause Android 6 to give a blank screen on boot. Instead, it asks for login and password AFTER the start screen, where you select the language. It does that on all versions of Android. If you aren't getting to the start screen, it is NOT because of the FRP lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Well thanks for your help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but at least it can keep you from chasing after solutions that don't exist.

edit: My only suggestion is researching what it takes to actually format the different partitions using "fastboot" or "ADB" prior to flashing a ROM. Maybe that could delete the MDM. I've never had an MDM lock, so I don't know if it would work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Well I'm fine. I ****ed up myself updating the tab from 6 to 7
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
But while we're at it. What does NAND erase all exactly do? Because this 'Recognized Contributor' told me to do it and now I'm in a bootloader on all versions
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
It may take a good while to boot after using Nand erase or does it boot straight to recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
When I tried to do it on 6 it booted straight to recovery. No matter how I tried. So I flashed 7 normally and now it's stuck/booting on the Samsung logo. Has taken about 20 minutes now. I'll wait 40 minutes more and then I'll throw it out the window
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
There's something odd about this tablet. I'd expect 10 mins max.

Have you tried factory reset now in recovery to see if MDM is still there?

I'd keep at it trying different options. Maybe try the CSC again with repartition.

You've pretty much exhausted every avenue here, so nothing to lose.

Only thing that hasn't been used is the combination firmware.

This should bypass the dm-verity error.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
So I left the tab for about an hour, no result so I booted into recovery and got this

Please tell me fast what to do because I don't want to mess up
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
That looks good and what I'd expect to see. Don't worry about /misc, I dont think this device has a /misc partition.

It says that normally on some devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Ok I haven't done anything it's still on the recovery screen. What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Have you tried factory reset again?

Failing that CSC with repartition?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Just tried, mdm again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
If you're interested in trying it, here's the link to the combination firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Ok im about to download it. Also im not sure how to use it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Basically it's a firmware used by engineers. It has various test modes.

However it's often used to bypass FRP in conjunction with one of the hardware boxes.

Usually it's only the boot image that is used as this automatically enables ADB access and bypasses integrity checks such as dm-verity.

It's worth trying to flash it and see where it gets you as really you've got nothing to lose here.

If worse comes to worse you can always take the tablet to one of the phone shops and get them to do it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
But I mean how do I flash it? Do I have to flash the PL4 first and the flash it. And do I just put it into the AP in odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Sorry, yes just flash with ODIN via AP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
And it doesn't matter if I flash it from Android 6 or 7?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
No doesn't matter. The firmware itself is Marshmallow. Combination firmware is only released in the original android version the device was released with.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Help. I flashed it. Successfully
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
For what its worth, I found one person who said they were able to get around one security firms MDM by entering a wrong password fifteen times and that after that the MDM reset itself. Long shot but worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I did try that when I was on android 7. I found a work around the setup wizard, went into settings made a password. Enabled the feature that should factory reset after 15 tries but I entered it about 50 time wrong and nothing happened
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
And now I am in this developer combination firmware thing, I enabled ADB from dev options and I don't know of i should try to flash android 7? Is there some stuff I could use from the ADB that would unlock Frp?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Have you tried to see if factory reset is available via settings?

You can try the commands in the link below in adb shell.

However these only really work with the stock system image, to get you past the setup screen and into settings where you can do a factory reset.

Basically you need to pull system.img from the stock marshmallow firmware then use 7zip to create a flashable tar ball to flash in ODIN.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
If you don't mind the Knox count, use the GSM flasher ( paid or cracked ) to boot your tablet into Download Mode, then flash the file FRP removal.

The tablet must pass the initial setting page, then next to the step to wifi set up, then using GSM flasher to boot the tablet into download mode.

I did a few SM-T580s in the latest Android 7 but it will trigger the Knox count, that's why I don't use this method even it takes only under 2 minutes.

Because you said there is no password required in Android 7, you may try this method if you don't mind the Knox count.

The GSM flasher is available if you take time to search, I will provide the FRP removal file for Android 7.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
For the umpteenth time, his tablet has an MDM lock and NOT FRP. FRP removal file won't help one iota.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
I believe he has FRP lock also, anytime you flash a firmware without removing Google account, it will turn FRP lock on.

He can check in Download Mode, FRP status ON or OFF will show. Once FRP is removed, you can do the Factory Reset because you are the new owner now.

I did with some tablets which have restriction to Factory Reset or change Settings, but once I got the administration right of a new owner, a Factory reset will delete everything. I hope it will work in this case
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
The tablet comes with OEM enable on. It has to be intentionally turned off before a reset will engage the lock. But at any rate, unless and until the MDM lock is removed, the FRP lock doesn't come into play.

edit: Also, once the MDM lock is solved, then he can flash PL4 if the FRP lock is engaged.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Yep I've checked, there's FRP LOCK: On in download mode. Also if I turned on ADB in the combination firmware, will it carry over to any other version?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
You need to flash the boot image from the combo firmware to enable adb.

As I said previously you can flash just the system image via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I will try it, and no i don't really mind the knox, and it also looks like thag MDM is not really doing anything as it only prevents the recovery factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
ive done that i think, i flashed the ONLY the file you gave me in AP (With repartition on as it didnt work any other way)

and now i dont really know what i should do, do ADB carry over to other versions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Also there's no OEM unlock option in the developer options
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I just downloaded GSM flasher, but theres no SM-T580 ???
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I won, I did it. I killed the beast. I don't know if the MDM is still there but it doesn't show me the black screen anymore. Thank you so much guys!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
Just checked, mdm is also gone
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Can you just post up the final steps for reference in case anyone else has the same issue.

Glad we got you there in the end. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
I'll make a whole thread for this device with the combination file you provided if it's OK?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
That's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
This software only help to boot the tablet into Download mode, then you have to flash the FRP removal file via Odin

This file I only give the link if requested.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ojvryrg1abrdqqx/COMBINATION_FA60_T580XXU2APL1_BoxWares.tar.zip here's the combination file
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 0mega007:
Thanks i have that, i need the file Beut says it only shares via request, the FRP removal file
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
The FRP removal file is the Combination file I think atleast
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
You need to flash it in AP and from there enable ADB in developer options and the rest is easy
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 0mega007:
Can you explain the step by step, what you did with the combination file and GSM flasher to remove FRP.

And what files you used

Im a Little confused, i have removed FRP before but for the tab A 7.0 that is tottally different and a lot easier.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ExTile2:
You flash the FRP combination file. You place it in the AP slot in ODIN first try with Repartition off. If that doesn't work try with it on. When flashed you should go into settings. And enable developer options. In the developer options you find USB debugging and enable it. Then you put the tab in download mode. To in GSM flasher and under "ADB Enabled File Maker" select the combination file and reboot. And then flash any android 7 you want
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 0mega007:
Ok so you flash the combination file two times in odin first and then again in GSM flasher?.

can you send me a link in PM for gsm flasher.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
Downgrade is the easy solution, read what others do so you can follow.

FRP lock is a joke, but most users have a hard time because they don't read carefully what need to be done.

I can say the number bypasses I have done everyday is as much as your ten fingers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 0mega007:
Thanks for the help ExTile2 and Beut i just unlocked my tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Beut:
Which method you were using ? Downgrade ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 0mega007:
I was able to unlock ot using the downgrate to 6.0 PL4

And using the assist option in the wifi settings.

I will keep the other files in case i need them later

Hey guys,

I've been reading this post. I'm in same situation with my S8+ as I have MDM locked and I can't boot phone into download mode. I tried resetting to factory setting using recovery but when I press Yes to erase it, It gives me error "MDM doesn't allow factory reset" and phone reboots normally and brings me to password lock screen.

I'd really appreciate your help on this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tholasky:
Please save me. I have been reading this thread for over 2hours and following the steps. I have flashed the combination rom.

My questions are:

1. How do i flash the frp file?

2. Do i have to flash the android 7.0 rom before flashing the frp file with gsm flasher.

This thread is just too complicated. I can't find the frp file to flash. You promised to make a new thread of how you got yours done. Please save me. Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

There is no SM-T580 on GSM flasher. Which model did you select?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tholasky:
I can easily boot to download mode using POWER + VOLUME DOWN + HOME.

Do you mean i have to click on download mode on gsm flasher while the tab is off?

When i click on Adb enable, i get "unsupported model" error. When i add the combo file and click on Bypass frp, i get the "Need to autorize or need to install adb driver" error?

Please help me with the detailed steps.

thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
First of all, is your tablet locked with FRP or MDM? If you start the tab and it boots to the welcome screen and asks for the Google login and password, then it is FRP. If that is the case, I can tell you how to unlock it but not with the "combination file" method.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Tholasky:
Thanks for your response. Its FRP lock. Please what is the solution???

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

stock rom is 7.0 can't downgrade to 6.0. except to combination file rom
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 4929york:
First of all, you are in the wrong thread. You need to go the this one. The fourth post in that thread has a link to a youtube video showing how to do it. The one by Beut.

But for it to work, you first have to flash a MM stock ROM with the right option to use in the wifi login. Go to Sammobile for the T580 and find the ROM ending in PL4 and use Odin to flash it on your tablet. You MUST follow the youtube video VERY carefully. Miss a single step and it won't work. But it WILL work on ANY T580 if you do follow it exactly. Don't worry about it taking your tablet back to MM. Once you get past the lock, the tablet will update OTA to the latest 7 ROM from Samsung.

The key is in using the "assist" option when adding a fake wifi network in order to get into Chrome to download an run the two apk files. That option doesn't exist the the Nougat or Oreo ROMs and only in some of the MM ROMs. The one ending in PL4 does have it.
