you can reset and get the Google Now and Google now on Tap features irrespective of which country you're residing
i'm simply connecting the dots here
Kudos to the good people who have shared their methods with us, t3al, root-junkie
i'm just the messenger
things to note before proceeding-
remove the verify via sms option on google account, do it through a computer
because for this to work VPN is needed, and if the sim is in your device it might not be able to fool the phone,( correct me if my info is wrong)
in every case people say to reset the phone to factory default,and sign in
this very true, but you should have the option to skip every page of initializing process (if it is properly reset) in most cases samsung has this protection and asks for the earlier phone user's google account details, if you are experiencing this issue you have not reset the phone to the full extent
video one is about this factory reset,
video two is about enabling Google Now and Now on Tap, in any country
follow these two videos in order-
don't worry if this doesn't work , just head over to the settings and do a factory reset for a second time..(through the phone settings, not by bootloader thingie)
now you will have the option to bypass
then follow this procedure

Guys,
I done goofed.
Allowed the young one to play with the tablet, lo and behold, the fingerprint scanner was "gone" and the tablet was requesting the alternate password, which I'm ashamed to say I have no Idea what it is.
I've tried to access the tablet with Android Device Manager, which gives me 3 options, RING - BLOCK - ERASE
After researching, I read that clicking on block and setting up a password there would work, but it doesn't. It just gives me a message saying that "Since google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won’t be needed"
There's no samsung account set.
While I know I could do a factory reset, It would be sad to lose some of the photos and files on the device.
Crazy ideas to help this fool here?
cheers,
Dan
factory reset wont delete your photos and files. it just delete system related data/install apps. unless you format your internal drive.
Hmm I thought that could be the case, but the only way I can do as reset now is going into that special mode by pressing power, home, volume buttons when the tablet is off right?
Won't the option I find there more drastic that a regular factory reset?
I haven't tried yet because I was hopeful for another solution :/
No other option available, would be terrible if there was (security bug!) Just do a factory reset in recovery mode, never got my personal files deleted that way, even Bluetooth downloads and old app folders stayed there
Hi,
Got a LG G4 stuck in boot loop - going to sell it on ebay as spares/repairs. Managed to get my contact list off it and factory reset it with the freezer method. Seems to have worked as after it was only optimising 8 apps (had 26 before reset) and then took me to a screen asking for mobile data or wifi and my last gmail account - I understand this to be a security measure to prevent thefts and wipes?
My question is: presumably I need to enter my last gmail details - will the phone then remember them? ie will i need to keep freezing my phone after successful gmail account entry to then go in to the settings and remove the gmail account details from the accounts section? As I'm selling the phone I'd rather not have any of my account information on there
Thanks!

theres no need to. just keep blank and press next itll ask skip this step just skip everything. so no need to use your account.
OK password forgotten you still can use the device, but you'll need a smartphone with mobile data and turn on the "Mobile hotspot". on the checking for software updates a.s.a.p. turn off the mobile hotspot it will say could not connect
UPDATE 1. for those who do not have access to hotspot. be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem.
agree to the next prompts it will ask you if you want to set up security create a 4-digit PIN i suggest 1234. After you create the 4-digit PIN, you turn off the tablet and turn it on again.
When the tablet is on again and "Enter PIN" appears, don't worry if you don't see the camera icon on the display. What you need is the USER icon (what I mean is that "human face" icon which is located on the TOP RIGHT CORNER). Click that "human face" icon, then you'll see "Add user" so click on that "Add user". Follow through as a new user, you'll need to create a Samsung account or if you have one already you'll need to log into your Samsung account. UPDATE 2. I SKIPPED THIS ACCOUNT SETUP.
UPDATE 3. You'll have 2 users, you will not be able to erase the first one.
now you have access to storage place the this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...FRP_REMOVE.apk
to downloads run the app on install.
full tool here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...pps Full.zip
go back to users first user owner tap it you will log in to that account it will say set up tablet drag the notification bar down software update smart switch ignore it enable WiFi connect to any one you can then tap setup tablet follow i will ask for a password i skipped it and got in and went to settings now i had access to backup and reset full wipe done smile
Thanks to everyone who has worked on this i have updated these instructions Originally Posted by dama0002

FYI again for those who done have access to hotspot be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem timing is important.
i hope it helps
After factory reset I'm stuck at google account screen which I don't remember since it wasn't my main google account.
After a lot of research I've tried the talkback->youtube but chrome or any browser doesn't open so I can't use it
Tried the gmail path but whole menu' doesn't show up, only account section and no options
Tried the keyboard "assist" but google search bar doesn't appear.
Tried to flash stock rom from sdcard but fails at 5%
Phone wasn't rooted and everything is stock
How do I get past google account screen? Is it as good as bricked?
UPDATE: I managed to get past FRP through the stock email app exploit! I cannot post links however due to forum restrictions.
In case anyone needs:
1. Follow guide with normal talkback->share link->email(select stock email app instead of Gmail)
1.1 Create a hotmail or whatever account on an other device.
2. Sign in, compose email, attach file from sd card (QuickShortcutMaker apk, you can google it)
3. Send email! you can send to random address
4. Go to outgoing, open sent email and open attached file and install
5. After install open and scroll down to "Huawei Home", open first option, then tap "try"
6. You now have access to whole phone, go to Settings->Accounts and delete all accounts
7. Go back to settings->backup&restore->Factory reset and confirm
8. Phone is now clean of FRP, enjoy!
A friend of mine asked about this. It's never a problem I've had, but thank you for sharing the solution. This could come in handy!

Indeed! Most common solutions weren't working for me so for a few days I was going crazy, but finally found one that works. Maybe someone else doesn't have to go crazy too!
I got a new A70 SM-A705FN/DS. I started to set it up but I don't want a Google Account and I don't want to transfer from another phone.
After checking for update it ask for copy or Don't copy, I say don't. Then I get "Couldn't sign in there was a problem communicating with Google servers Try again later"
Is there a way to bypass it?
On Youtube there are some videos but very hard to understand, only for "Android pro" users.
Any help on howto and explanation what is "Google lock" FRP welcome.
Edit: After reading, a lot of people have this issue but all I have seen are in a reset or previously used phone. I am setting up a new phone with the wizard.
Moreover I'd like to add that the phone is connected to Internet by WIFI (check update without issue) and there is not a SIM card in it.
Thanks
