How can I disable FRP Lock on my Samsung Tab A6 without the ability to start the device?

When I try to start my device it's in a boot-loop. And I also can't access the recovery menu (which you can enter with Power + Home Button + Volume UP). So I can only enter the download mode.

Thanks!

Enter the download mode using Home + Volume Down + Power and flash stock ROM using odin... That's the only solution to get your device working back.

No, Odin is just for flashing. The Dump command doesn't seem to work, at least not as of Odin3 v1.85; see Can I make a full backup of my phone with Odin and without root?

I don't believe @Mark Dorsey is talking about the IMEI, I think he means the Device ID that android assigns to a device. This ID is generated when the device first boots, but it will be recreated if you do a factory reset. Reference More specifically, Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID. This is a 64-bit quantity that is generated and stored when the device first boots. It is reset when the device is wiped. ANDROID_ID seems a good choice for a unique device identifier. There are downsides: First, it is not 100% reliable on releases of Android prior to 2.2 (“Froyo”). Also, there has been at least one widely-observed bug in a popular handset from a major manufacturer, where every instance has the same ANDROID_ID. With that said, there is no guarantee that the application you are looking to gain access again with uses the Device ID, it may use other means to identify the device, like mac address, or some other information, or even a combination of them.

Turn it off then hold volume up and down and power and wait until it flashes on then flashes off. Next, let go of those buttons then press them again. This should open the maintenance boot menu, and you can factory reset, boot to safe mode, or normal boot, or debug mode I would either boot to safe mode, or reset it. Cheers.

A search for "mysql" on the stores can answer this: there are several packages available, usually together with a web server and PHP. Best candidates are probably AndroPHP and Palapa. My list of web servers with scripting support also have some of them (e.g. the two I mentioned), together with links to reviews, video demos, etc – which might make your decision easier.

Any reasons to update Android from stock firmware (via PC) rather than OTA?

Is there any reason to update Android firmware via PC using software like Odin, rather than just doing an OTA update? Yes. Since Android Lollipop, Google has moved to block based OTA updates which means if the system partition is tampered with (often done when rooting the device) the OTA upgrade would and should fail. How would you update the OS then? In Android versions prior to 5.0, OTA update still fails sometimes because checksum for a file in system partition doesn't match. How would you update the OS now? During OTA upgrade, some users report the device being stuck in recovery mode. How would you update the OS now? Note: I've never found an incremental update that can be flashed via fastboot and I'm not familiar with Odin or the likes of it. Is there any difference between the two methods in terms of performance, battery life, etc.? I can't give an objective view but note that there are multiple reports on this site where you would notice that OTA (it usually do a dirty flash) upgrade caused performance issues, such as sluggish animation, frequent app crashes (result of dirty flash), automatic reboot and issues with functionality of some apps. Often, a factory-reset fixes them. In the case of flashing the OS from PC, you're most likely going to clear the data partition as well so the resultant, once the flashing is completed, would be equivalent of buying a device with OS shipped from a vendor. If the OS isn't faulty, you shouldn't be having major issues. I speak from experience with OnePlus One. OTA never worked for me. They either caused overheating or radio issues.

If all you need is root access, try flashing the Siyah kernel via ODIN. Ensure you get the S2 version, as the dev has one for the S3 as well. Also, you will need the TAR version as you will flash it via ODIN (at least for the first time). Later instances, you can get the ZIP format and flash it via CWM (ClockworkMod recovery, which is built into the kernel). Apart from features like more processor steps, you can also overclock/underclock, adjust various parameters and have features like Backlight Notifications. Since you will flash this kernel, you DO NOT need to flash the firmware. You can keep the stock firmware and your data intact. This kernel automatically installs root access so your primary requirement is also fulfilled. As with all operations, ensure you have an off-site backup of all your data. As an aside, once you install the kernel, get the ExTweaks app from the market which is designed especially for this kernel and offers a GUI/frontend to access many under-the-hood features. Assuming you have all the drivers installed, here's how you go about it: Download the TAR file of the Siyah kernel. Note that the latest series is for ICS, in case you're running Gingerbread, search for and download the appropriate older version of the kernel. Start ODIN and connect your phone via the USB cable AFTER you enter DOWNLOAD MODE (Press Vol down + HOME + POWER button simultaneously for a few seconds after completely shutting down phone. At the warning screen hit Vol UP to confirm entry to download mode). Once connected, you should see a COM port number with a yellow background. In the ODIN program, press the PDA button and point to the TAR file. make sure ONLY Auto-reboot is ticked and then click START. If all goes well, you should see a green box with PASS! shown after which your phone will boot up. It may take a minute or two, so don't panic. Refer to the FAQ and the respective threads on XDA-Forums for more info.

CWM is the shortform of ClockWorkMod. ROMManager, CWM recovery, Tether etc are their products. CWM Recovery and ROMManager are tools which enables you to backup your current ROM, install custom ROMs etc. If you are interested in knowing more about CWM, see this page. For rooting you do not need CWM. In fact for installing CWM you need to be rooted. For anyone who plays with ROMs, tweaking and testing, CWM Recovery or some thing equivalent to it is mandatory and would save your neck several times. Also, you could specify which part you are not clear with. It will help to get better answers.

The answer to your question is no. Without a Samsung Engineering firmware load that has adb and USB debugging enabled in the setup wizard this is not possible, and I have never seen one leaked out for any Snapdragon based S7, so the answer is simply no. Remember, FRP is DESIGNED not to be able to be bypassed or defeated, every time a exploit comes out, it get's patched, and this device just got another security update this month.

PIT stands for Partition Information Table. A PIT file is basically a set of instructions defining the phone partition layout. You should use a it if you want to re-partition the phone with Odin. You only need this file when repartitioning the device and you don't need to repartition it unless you mess up the partition table to begin with, or when downgrading/upgrading. There are tools (commercial) that can genarate PIT files using ADB commands.

This is the right place, but it seams easier for people to help if they know your device as pretty much every settings screen is different for every device manufacturer. For instance in my G4 I can: Go to Settings Go to Display Go to Lock screen Select from (None, Swipe, Pattern, Pin, Password) As it seams None is disabled for you, I'm guessing you had an app installed that required an Administrative rights. Go to settings -> General -> Security -> Phone administrators -> Remove the app that made you set the screen lock from the administrators list (Or if it was a certificate from an app, go to Certificate Management and clear credentials)

IIRC, one difference is that ODIN can change the filesystem to a different "format". for example, there are ROM for the Galaxy S devices that would change the filesystem from RFS to ext4. if you did a nandroid of the device, before you flashed the ROM, then decided to go back to the "Stock ROM", your filesystem would still be ext4. This could cause issues if it is not a filesystem that the Stock ROM can deal with, or expect. As for, "Is it better", it does make it easy for Samsung owners to go back to complete stock, but Nandroid is still a full backup of your device at that time and could, essentially, work just as well.

You're probably going to need to specify exactly what model phone you have, because not all phones bootstrap the same way. In general, however, if you can't get the phone to go into it's equivalent of Download/Odin mode (where it simply doesn't do anything except listen over USB for an upload of a firmware file) with the majority of the phones on the market, you're done. There's pretty much nothing else to do that wouldn't require special hardware.
