How To Guide 8 Things Maybe You Want to Do After Install Arrow OS Android 13 on MI Pad 5 - Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

English is not my first language.
Arrow OS got stylus support recently, it's basically suitable for my daily job, but some details are not good as MIUI, here is some setting for me, and I think you guys maybe need it.
If you haven't flashed Arrow OS 13. Go check:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-arrowos-13-0-12-1-12l-for-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu-official.4502749/
Thanks @kubersharma001 we have such good aosp rom with stylus support.
1. Magisk and Root​Magisk needs patch boot.img, but this file is not the same file you flash from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kubersharma001/files/nabu/
You need to extract boot.img and vbmeta.img from ROM zip file, payload.img.
There is a python tool, Payload Dumper to implement this:
https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper
Or follow this guide, "Guide on how to pull a partition (like boot.img etc) from a currently flashed ROM?" section.
https://kubersharma001.com/arrowos-for-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu
The last thing, enable zygisk from magisk setting.
2. Android 12 Firmware​You can update your official firmware to the Android 12 version. You can get the firmware from
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
Download this zip file, reboot to recovery, adb sideload zip file.
If progress is stuck at 0%, press volume down, then press power button, it should display progress.
3. Network traffic monitor​There is no network traffic monitor in arrow os 13. But you can enable this with AOSPMods magisk module.
https://github.com/siavash79/AOSPMods
After you flash this module, open AOSPMods, Status Bar setting, and enable network monitor.
4. Recent Taskbar​You can change the default taskbar to "recent taskbar", so you can switch the running app quickly like MIUI.
Firstly, Install PixelLauncherMOD module:
https://github.com/saitamasahil/PixelLauncherMOD
Then open AOSPMods, navigation bar, enforce enable Android taskbar, then you can see an option to change the default taskbar to a recent taskbar.
5. Freeform​There is no built-in freeform in Arrow OS 13, but you can still enable freeform through these two ways.
1. Developer options
Enter developer options, enable "Force activities to be resizable" and "Enable freeform windows".
Then open app from the launcher, switch to the recent app view, tap app logo, and select freeform.
Then you got an "imperfect freeform" because the freeform app can't display over other apps.
2. MI-Freeform
Firstly you need to install Shizuku.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=moe.shizuku.privileged.api&hl=en_IN&gl=US
Then you need to enable LSPosed.
https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed
Then install MI Freeform.
https://github.com/sunshine0523/Mi-FreeForm
Follow Mi Freeform built-in tutorial to learn how to use this app.
You can enable freeform over any app. But it still has many bugs. Just a workaround before official Arrow OS ROM supports freeform.
6. Stylus Screenshot​(Just an imperfect solution.
Do you remember that you can partial screenshots through the up button of the stylus in MIUI?
It's a really useful feature when you watch videos and take some notes. This feature is missing in arrow os.
But there is a workaround solution, firstly, download Key Mapper.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper&hl=en_IN&gl=US
Connect you stylus to tablet through Bluetooth, open Key Mapper
Then record trigger (Long press Up Button), add action "Screenshot".Then save.
But this is a Full Screenshot, you need to tap the "Edit" icon and crop your screenshot in the editor.
If you have a better solution, please let me know.
7. Wrong Time Zone​If your device time zone is always reset to the wrong place, and can't change it in settings. You need to execute adb command.
(If you don't have a computer)
Install termux:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/
Then install android-tools in termux, so you can run adb locally.
Open Developer options, enable usb debugging or wireless debugging (no computer)
Here is a tutorial about how to use local adb to debug your device.
After ensuring you can use adb debug your device, follow this tutorial to correct your time zone

8. Exclamation marks on the status bar WIFI icon​This problem will only encounter by Chinese users.
Thanks to the god damned Chinese Communist Party and Great Fire Wall they built.
Chinese people can't access the google servers if they don't have VPN, so Android thinks this WLAN network is limited and the WIFI icon will show exclamation marks.

Mi FreeForm not quite working either I'm stuck at the tutorial. It says drag window to corners but nothing happens
Also whjen i try to upgrade firmware it stuck at 0% I hold volume down then pressp ower like you said but that just goes out of sideload mode

how can i check what version of firmware i have?

Dumb question: How do I install magisk? I used payload-dumper-go, extracted the two files (boot.img and vbmeta.img), patched them on my tablet from the downloads folder..And now what?
Nvm got it: adb reboot sideload, then sideload magisk*.apk, then press down, then power. Then follow the prompts in magisk, done.

Before installing arrowOS, I am using MIUI R, so the firmware i have should be android 11.
And I stuck on 0% when I try to sideload the new firmware. The question is a little bit different with yours. When I press the volume- and power button, I got total xfer: 0.00x

OK. Firmware updated.
To get around invisible recovery you have to use adb reboot sideload.
Then as instructed, volume button down once, then power button down once (imagine a visible recovery!)

You use this link to get the boot.img extracted: https://kubersharma001.com/arrowos-for-xiaomi-pad-5-nabu
Install magisk. Patch that image. Lookup Step 3 here: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/
Flash the patched boot.img using adb. (Same steps as in initial installation, refer first link)
Always backup before this.

MIUI for Beginners​
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.

it's extremely easy.. just copy it to your SD card.. and flash it just like a normal ROM.. but it has to be flashed after the Android ROM..
1) copy it along with the ROM to your SD card
2) flash the ROM
3) flash the patch
4) enjoy

I get force closes with theme manager when trying to apply any theme regardless of it being new or old. Clean install too.
Edit:
Found that after applying a theme and it force closes, to see theme go to settings, personal, and enable/disable custom toggles and it'll work.
Actually, apply each separate theme one by one. They'll all force close but it'll go through when you enable/disable the custom toggles.
HI
Do i need to partition my sd card?

The Fire Toolbox is a collection of useful ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tweaks that can be applied to Amazon's Fire Tablets. The Toolbox project aims to help users fully customize and unlock the full potential of their tablets by putting all the power into their hands.​​The Toolbox doesn't touch the system partition meaning all changes made can be reversed either through the tools/subtools themselves or through a factory reset. This means the Toolbox does NOT void your warranty.​
View attachment 5469557
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FIREOS 7.3.2.2+ AND THE TOOLBOX (PLEASE READ)
If your tablet is running FireOS 7.3.2.2 or above please note that some functions of the Toolbox may not work due to new restrictions in the new firmware. The following tools either do not work or have limited functionality:
• OTA Updates - OTAs can no longer be disabled.
• Manage Amazon Apps - Some system apps can no longer be disabled.
We're looking into workarounds to the issues detailed above. Please keep an eye on the forum for further development.

In this forum, you may hear the word "generation" being used when talking about Fire Tablets. Just know that "generation" effectively means the same as "what year was the tablet manufactured?". This may seem confusing and as a result a reference table has been provided for you below.​
​
Getting the Toolbox up and running with your tablet is surprisingly a very easy procedure. The only thing required is for you to enable Developer Options and ADB on your tablet. So, without further ado, let's get started.​
At this point, please read the section below, and make sure to follow the correct guide that is made for your tablet on how to set up the device so it works with the Toolbox.​
FIRE HD 7, 8, 10 (2018 - 2022) Guide:​
Spoiler: Show Guide
​Before purchasing the tablet:​
Make sure you uncheck the "Link device to your Amazon account to simplify setup" box before Adding to Cart. (See this screenshot, credits go to @ancientrael)
if the box remains checked, your tablet will automatically update to the latest version of FireOS the second it auto-connects to your wifi.
Booting the tablet for the first time:​
Wait for your tablet to fully boot up for the first time (may take a few seconds to minutes).
When it boots, it will ask you for the language you'd like the OS to use. Select your prefered language.
Tapping the blue arrow at the bottom of the screen, you'll be asked to connect to a WIFI network.
Select ANY network from the list (even if you don't know the password).
Once it asks for the password, tap the "Cancel" button and it will take you to the previous screen with the Wifi networks.
At the bottom of the screen, you should now see a "Skip Setup" button, go ahead and tap that.
It will now ask if you're sure you want to skip fire setup. Just tap "Skip" once more.
You should immeditely be thrown into Fire Launcher. You're now ready to enable USB/ADB Debugging.
Enabling USB Debugging:​
Turn on your tablet and go to Settings > Device Options > About Fire Tablet and tap on the Serial Number until you unlock Developer Options.
Press the back button and find the new Developer Options and toggle it on.
Scroll down till you find USB Debugging and enable it.
Setting up the drivers:​​If you are on Windows 10 or Windows 11 you do NOT need to following this guide because Windows will setup the needed drivers by default automatically. All you need to do is plug your tablet in and Windows will take care of the rest. Please wait until these drivers are fully installed before laucnhing the Toolbox for the first time. ​
Download the latest version of the Toolbox from the Downloads section of this page and install it onto your PC.
Plug your tablet into the computer, and Windows will start installing the MTP drivers. It will also attempt to install the ADB driver but will fail. (This is normal and to be expected)
Launch the Toolbox, and it should detect your Windows version and inform you that further driver setup is required. It will then ask you if you'd like the Toolbox to download and install the drivers.
Click the "Yes" button, wait for the download to finish and follow the driver setup. If this for some reason doesn't work, please follow this guide to manually install the drivers.
At this point, If drivers are setup properly... the Toolbox will inform you that the "device isn't authorized. Please authorize your device now."
On your tablet, you should see a new prompt asking if you want to Allow USB Debugging and should show the computer's RSA key fingerprint. Tick the box that says "Always allow from the computer" and hit ok.
​That's it, the Toolbox should recognize your tablet and will take you to the main menu. Enjoy!​​

Once the Toolbox and the Installer are both stable a portable option will be available. However, if you really need a portable version please PM me and I'll send you the link.​​

My Home Button isn't working after using the Custom Launcher Tool?​​Due to the way the process works, it alters your navigation bar's home key to send a key event that can be picked up by Automate. Once Automate reads this event, it launches your custom launcher automatically. ​​However, if the flow in Automate isn't running, the navbar key will not work, and nothing will happen when it's tapped. To fix this, either open Automate and start the "Launcher Invoker" flow again, or execute the Custom Launcher tool in the Toolbox, click the ":" icon (upper-right) to show the Tool Options panel, and click the "Restore Navigation Bar" button to restore the stock layout. ​

​Google Family Link won't work on my tablet?​​Unfortuently, no matter how hard we try, we still haven't been able to get Family Link to work correctly on the tablets. The Family Link app fails to install, and the Child account refuses to login. No matter what we tried, we couldn't get a Child account to work on the tablets.​​We believe this has to do with missing dependecies, and the tablets not being certified through Google's Play Protect platform. We're still activly looking into getting the issue resolved. Until then, it's recommended that you use an alternative such as Amazon's FreeTime, Eyezy, or another third-party family managing software.​

How can I remove a Google Account from my tablet?​​Because of the missing accounts section in the Settings app it will be a little more difficult to remove Google Accounts directly from the tablet. The easiest way that I've found is to visit this page: https://myaccount.google.com/security, sign-in to your Google Account, scroll down to "Your Devices" and click the "Manage devices" button. From the list of devices find your tablet and in the upper right-corner click the 3-dot icon and from the list select "Sign out". ​

​Can the Toolbox be used to root my tablet?​​Primarly, rooting a Fire Tablet requires the user to open the back of the device and short out a certain point on the motherboard. The Toolbox has been designed for folks who'd rather not bark down this alley. It uses the power of ADB to make changes, and is meant to be an alternative to rooting. In summery, the Toolbox isn't designed to root.​

​The Toolbox is being marked as a virus?​​This is likely because the Toolbox (and it's installer) aren't signed with a software license. This freaks Windows out because it sees that there is no publisher, and as a result it displays a warning (smartscreen). In addition, some anti-viruses might also flag the Toolbox as a virus simply because the build is relatively new and there is no record of it in the anti-viruses database, resulting in a false positve.​​As always, I take your security and privacy VERY seriously! If you do not feel safe with installing the Toolbox due to virus concerns, I respect and support your decision. It is always up to the user and their judgment! ​

This tool is designed to install Automate, push Amazon Lockscreen Ads Remover V4.5 to tablet, and install all permissions required to run the script. Now, to get it all set up and working you need to enter Automate and open the settings. From here you are looking for an option that's titled "Run on system startup" make sure you enable this option. Now, for installing the adblocker you can import it into Automate (Flow is found on your internal storage or sdcard) Or you can download the script from the automate community. Refer to this forum if you need assistance (skip steps 1-5 because they have already been done automatically by the toolbox). Sorry I can't write up a detailed post, I'm at a family gathering at the moment. Just let me know if you need further assistance.
Great tool! However, after "removing everything Amazon", it seems to have also removed parental controls which screws up some things. I get "the requested action is not permitted. Check parental controls settings and retry" when I try to download offline translation functionality in Google Translate. When I go to the the tablets settings>parental controls, it won't open. Also seems to not allow install of Amazon related apps like kindle and prime video.

It's kind of annoying right? So, whats happening is Its coded to remove Parental Controls but I've just discovered it isn't able to because Parental Controls is a Device Administrator which you can't uninstall even with ADB without deactivating it first. As a result, I will update the tool so it doesn't remove anything related to parental controls until we can find a way to disable it. However, chances are kind of slim. I don't think its possible without root but we will see. I'm also thinking about a restore option for the "Remove Everything Amazon" tool that returns the amazon system apps so you don't have to do a factory reset.

Hmmm, I'm not sure about this. I can test it at home and let you know how it goes if you would like. However, it would be a few hours from now if your interested.
Will this work on a Kindle Fire 10" Gen 5 version? I've already hacked my wife's 2017 using another more complex path to doing so, but a friend just asked me to hack his Gen 5 10" and I'd love to do it as easily as this. However, a bit nervous if this doesn't allow it.
I think I answered my own question. Using a windows 10 computer, I connected the 10" Fire Gen 5... ran the program... and it continually crashed after initially finding the kindle. I never got the menu with the options. And where does this program unpack itself to once the EXE zip is run?
Quick question, is there already a new version around?

I believe this may be a bug in the tablet detect section of the code. I know it can read Hd10 (2017), hd8 (2017), and hd (2018) without error. I'm not sure what's going on but I will look into it. Oh and also, a new version of the tool is coming soon!

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I tried getting into Engineering Mode in Kia Sorento 2019 using this method and it doesn't seem to work. The local dealer installed Waze and a radio app on it so there must be a way to install other apps as well. Any idea of an alternative access method or what to try next?

It's terrible, I'm warning ⚠ you in my post
so you have 2 ways:
1. Hard: find a good radiomechanic or mobile phone fixer man and give your device to him and show this instructions https://www.drive2.ru/l/523031635092832690/
Than wait...
2. Easy: goes to hyundai dealer and said that "I woked up in the morning, got my, start the engine and saw hyundai logo... It's warranty!"
So, if I'm will be on your place - I'm choosed second way

Apk not compatible
Hi,
Thanks zavpasha for all the procedure !
Working as a driver, I wonder if an app like " uber driver" could run onto this tablet.
I did the test by launching the .apk and very quickly an error says the package is not compliant.
Versions of this app are available here:
www apkmirror com/apk/uber-technologies-inc/uber-driver/
Question: could it help to setup in developper + debug mode ?

[GUIDE] FRP Bypass for Samsung S8 - Pie(Android 9) - bit/rev C

Hello,
I was looking for a solution to unlock FRP for Samsung S8 for the latest Samsung's firmware and I might find a solution.
According to tutorials I found on the internet - usually you had to get to the web browser and then by a few steps reach the settings page and set up pin lock. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. Although you can still go to the web browser. You cannot open the pin lock screen because it was disabled. Activity just opens and closes immediately. You cannot also install any downloaded apk because the web browser needs permissions and this screen is also disabled. Keep in mind that any App Store has this permission!
There was a smooth trick where once you reached the web browser - you could select from the home screen Google Maps. It was triggering a deep link for Google Maps app. There you could enable "Driving" and then just say "Open settings" to open the settings page...
I have another solution and here are my steps on how I unlocked my Samsung S8 for the latest firmware. This is a solution for Window's users.
My phone's firmware was: Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F - DBT - G950FXXUCDUD1 and I downloaded it from samfw.com
Firmware was flashed by the latest (patched) version of Odin -> 3.14.
Mentioned beginning step for opening a web browser requires a tool for that. I used a paid app. I paid for it because it was said that it unlocks FRP on Samsung devices. Well it didn't unlock my phone but at least I was able to reach the web browser. And this allowed me to look for any other exploit.
Here are my unlocking steps:
1. Start your Windows machine and while booting press F8. Select option "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". It will allow you to install drivers for Tenorshare 4uKey for Android. It's optional if the app had any problems to run.
2. Download the latest version of Tenorshare 4uKey for Android. My version is 1.1.3 (2021-03-19), install it and open.
3. Select option "Remove Google Lock" and follow the instructions.
4. Your phone should proceed the intro steps including step where you have to connect with wifi. Connect to any wifi with access to the network.
5. Tenorshare should be able to open Youtube and then default web browser or Samsung Galaxy Store. I used the first solution.
6. Download apk provided in attachment: Activity Launcher. You can try to open it but you won't be able to install it. This function is disabled right now. Your web browser has no permission for installing third party applications.
7. In the web browser address bar search for Samsung Galaxy Store and open official Samsung's site
8. This site should have a deep link button to Samsung Galaxy Store. Click it. The Galaxy Store will be opened. Log in to your account. Please use Samsung account. Do not use Google account.

9. Search in Galaxy Store: Files Shortcut - authored by orcun Balkim. This is an app with a yellow folder icon. Version 3.0 dated on 7 Jan 2021. Install it and open it.
10. Go to the Download folder. Install previously downloaded apk Activity Launcher. Click on the apk or double tap if you use mouse.
11. Open it. Scroll to an app called "Accessibility" with a gear icon.
*** Hint: You can also search for Direction Lock. It will move you immediately to Direction Lock Activity. If you succeed, you can skip steps 12 and 13. Don't forget to to enable Direction Lock and set up the pattern!
12. Expand it and click on activity which name ends with ...$AccessibilitySettings
13. Go to Advanced settings > Direction lock > Enable it.
14. Click on Screen lock type and set up your pattern.
15. Go back to the main screen of Activity Launcher. Scroll to "Android Setup" and expand it. Open activity whose name ends with ...$RestoreProgressActivity.
*** Hint: You can also search for RestoreProgressActivity.
16. Click on the first item from the list. It should display "Apps" and click on it.
17. Follow the steps with creating a new Google account.
If you reach here it means that you succeed!
18. Once you reach home screen you can:
a) press Back button so many times till you reach first screen of setup page screen. Then you can normally process the setup flow. Your Google account will be added.
b) reset the phone. I prefer more a) solution.
Please add a comment if it is working for you. Have a nice day.

That's a really long post there my friend. You could have just flashed combination files then flashed the stock ROM and it will work...
But yeah, if you're really into paying for something that will not work as intended, installing possibly malicious stuff on both your PC and your Android and wasting half a day on the other steps that in the end may or may not work. You can probably do that.

Hello,
I was looking for a solution to unlock FRP for Samsung S8 for the latest Samsung's firmware and I might find a solution.
According to tutorials I found on the internet - usually you had to get to the web browser and then by a few steps reach the settings page and set up pin lock. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore. Although you can still go to the web browser You cannot open the pin lock screen because it was disabled. Activity just opens and closes immediately. You cannot also install any downloaded apk because the web browser needs permissions and this screen is also disabled.
There was a smooth trick where once you reached the web browser - you could select from the home screen Google Maps. It was triggering a deep link for Google Maps app. There you could enable "Driving" and then just say "Open settings" to open the settings page.
So here are my steps on how I unlocked my Samsung S8 for the latest firmware. This is a solution for devices working on Windows.
My phone's firmware was: Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F - DBT - G950FXXUCDUD1 and I downloaded it from samfw.com
Firmware was flashed by the latest version of Odin -> 3.13 or 3.14.
Mentioned beginning step for opening a web browser requires a tool for that. I used a paid app. I paid for it because it was said that it unlocks FRP on Samsung devices. Well it didn't unlock my phone but at least I was able to reach the web browser.
Here are the steps:
1. Start your Windows machine and while booting press F8. Select option "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". It will allow you to install drivers for Tenorshare 4uKey for Android.
2. Download the latest version of Tenorshare 4uKey for Android. My version is 1.1.3 (2021-03-19), install it and open.
3. Select option "Remove Google Lock" and follow the instructions.
4. Your phone should proceed the intro steps including step where you have to connect with wifi.
5. Tenorshare should be able to open Youtube and then default web browser.
6. Download apk provided in attachment: Activity Launcher. You can try to open it but you won't be able to install it. This function is disabled right now. Your web browser has no permission for installing third party applications.
7. In the web browser address bar search for Samsung Galaxy Store and open official Samsung's site
8. This site should have a deep link button to Samsung Galaxy Store. Click it. The Galaxy Store will be opened. Log in to your account.

9. Search in Galaxy Store: Files Shortcut - authored by orcun Balkim. This is an app with a yellow folder icon. Version 3.0 dated on 7 Jan 2021. Install it and open it.

15. Go back to the main screen of Activity Launcher. Scroll to "Android Setup" and expand it. Open activity whose name ends with ...$RestoreProgressActivity

16. Click on the first item from the list. It should display "Apps" and click on it. Follow the steps with creating a new Google account.

Unfortunatelly didn't worked for me. Even I managed to set a lock pattern, when I get to the step 16 and tap on "Apps", I get the message that the device was factory reset and I have to verify the account. Even though I have the original account, I can't have it working.
¿Any ideas?
Thanks
Erucoco did you use the same firmware as I mentioned in the post?
Thanks for sharing detailed steps on how to defeat frp on a more recent Samsng phone. Lucky for me I am only interested in ancient phones with removable battery. Looks like google really locked down the backdoors available to defeat frp. For really older phones like Galaxy Note 4 or LG G5 it's easy once you launch chrome then google map then driving where you can access google assistant.
Found out a quicker way which worked for my device "G950FXXUCDUD"
Flashed the "Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F - DBT - G950FXXUCDUD1" ROM from the Link
with mentioned "patched odin 3.14.4".
Booted up to the screen with "emergerncy-call" and started the ***youfrp V1.15 app on my windows machine
