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.

Have you tried using Kies? This is the way to go if you want to restore your firmware. After, you can go to recovery and factory reset.

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.

I got an answer for this on this xda developers thread: Isnt the key file in cm called something different sec_touchscreen.kl or something or other? Why yes ashyx, it is! In fact, it only has two entries! One is for the app switcher button and the other for the back button. After commenting out these lines, the buttons were disabled. After digging through the settings, I also found that the button back lights are adjustable in this build of Cyanogen and was able to turn them off.

I resolved it. I discovered that its a problem that was quite common with the T580. I was mistaken about fastboot being on there. The issue is actually with the version of TWRP that was being used. It it for the T580, but does not work. This file must be used -- twrp_3.2.3-1_sm-t580_29918.tar . That version works flawlessly.

No, this is not an option. Actually this seems like a bug as this should be controlled by the option, Vibrate on Touch under Sound in the settings. Either that, or the option Vibrate on Touch should remain visible when setting the screen security option to Slide in the Security part of the settings. You may want to report this as a bug to the Android team using the Android Issue Tracker.

Solution by @beeshyams that worked in my case: On Odin in the options tab; Uncheck the Auto Reboot option. When Odin finishes the flashing procedure; use the suitable key combination to boot into TWRP Recovery Mode. From the TWRP menu; boot into system. Tip : In some cases, if a problem occurs try to flash an older version of TWRP From TWRP Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use your preferred search engine to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install. Hope this solution help others too.

AP : CODE, CP: MODEM, BL: BOOTLOADER (you dont seem to have that), CSC: CSC or HOME_CSC and USERDATA: USERDATA same for when you need to wipe the user data. I your case you'll only need 3 files AP, MODEM and CSC/HOME_CSC which contains your carrier specific files, settings etc. Note that the firmware you are trying to flash need to have same version than your current version on the device or higher, otherwise you'll get the error you are getting in your third screenshot. Important: Do not use the pit file as it repartition the internal memory and can cause a brick, and actually it is the cause of the flash failing message, so it is not advised to use it.

I cannot find any specific accessories on the official samsung product page. However a TV-OUT Cable exists which presumable (if the projector has all the necessary inputs) can also be used to show the picture from the tab on the projector: Product Name: Samsung ECC1TP0BBEGSTA Galaxy Tab TV Out Cable Unfortunately the cable doesn't offer hdmi - output: only RCA Video. An HDMI Adapter for the Galaxy TAB Series exists but it's not compatible with your specific model (Galaxy TAB 2 7.0) see the following product page

The culprit is a feature of the GO Launcher. It has the appearance if being a default function of the phone's OS. The screen has one option in the menu: turn off fast charging. That will disable that screen, but it won't disable the Samsung GS(x)'s fast charging. You can enable or disable the GS7's fast charging in the Settings menu of the device (not the Go program) Turning that switch on the screen disabled the extra step (having to slide) before you get to your actual unlock screen where you put in your code. This screen will manifest itself on any Android phone or tablet running the Go Launcher menu app.

Disclaimer This answer is pointless. Once you've read the end of my answer, you will see why. My answer I personally have tried Qustodio's "Block Incognito Browsing" feature. (I was using a phone running Android 4.1.2 and a recent version of Google Chrome.) It didn't work at all. Incognito browsing still worked perfectly, and was not blocked or even hindered whatsoever. Even after an hour or more, Qustodio had no idea that I was using Chrome's incognito mode. In a help center article, Qustodio LLC does admit: Please note that our incognito blocking feature is still experimental. If you want to prevent incognito browsing, I see a few options: You could lock down the device completely (though this is almost impossible to do correctly) and then to make sure that the only browser which the user can access is a browser which is incapable of incognito browsing. Or you could use Norton Family's incognito detection. If Norton Family alerts you that incognito has been used, perhaps you could confiscate the device from its user for a day or two. (Norton Family claims to be able to email you after someone uses incognito mode on the device. But I've never tested it, and I don't know whether or not it would work reliably. You should test the feature on a few separate occasions before relying upon it.) You could try Qustodio. Even though their (experimental) incognito-blocking feature didn't work for me, maybe it will work for you. If you are willing to root your phone, this may provide you with a new, additional option for disabling incognito mode. Remember that you can unroot your phone afterwards. Why this answer is pointless Yet all this is pointless. The user can use the browser's "Clear History" tool, or Android's application manager, to clear the browsing history — anytime he wants to. Why would anyone want to disable incognito mode?

Ok so I'm going to take a small leap here and assume you were trying to root your device. Here is what you need to know: Soft-Brick Symptoms You can immediately tell that you have a soft-bricked phone if it turns on but doesn't really 'turn on'. You will see some kind of boot loader screen that will prompt you to connect your phone to your computer and start a transfer. Sometimes a soft-brick will look like a hard-brick (see below), in this case you can plug your device into your computer and see if you can connect to it. If you can connect to it and transfer over a new ROM, then your device is soft-bricked. What is it? This word is actually miss used all over the internet. When a device is 'bricked', that means that the system can boot up but it can't launch the operating system because it has been erased/corrupted. A soft-bricked device is actually not the worst thing in the world, all you have to do is flash it with a new ROM and you're good to go! Make sure the rom you are trying to flash the device with goes with the EXACT device. 'close' only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Hard-Brick Symptoms You can tell that a device is hard-bricked if you try to turn it on or charge it and you get no response. If you cannot launch the boot loader with the special combination (usually power button along with up volume and menu button) then it is probably a hard-brick. Make sure you have determined that your power source and your battery are functioning properly before you jump to this conclusion. What is it? A device that is hard bricked is almost useless. There is almost nothing you can do to get it back unless you have professional experience in hardware hacking. Basically what you need to do is make your own 'Jig' that flashes the device ROM with a new boot loader. Once the boot loader is flashed, then you have your backdoor. You can then boot up the phone and flash it. I will be completely honest with you, you have 2 options if your device has been hard-bricked: Try to get a new one through your warranty (which is now void) on your device if it is not expired. If you try to do this and you get caught you will have to pay the full price of the device and your carrier will get very angry with you. If you get away with it, you have a new phone and the phone carriers get to sell your phone as a refurbished phone. Pay someone to J-Tag it for you. Depending on which device you have, it can cost as low as $40. I DO NOT recommend this method because if they decide that they want to keep your phone (especially if you are shipping to Canada or Asia) there is nothing you can do and you are SOL with no phone and $40 missing out of your pocket. The internet is full of people with your exact same problem. A quick google search will give you answers to most of your questions. For Samsung device users specifically Samsung devices can usually be forced into download mode using a JIG. They are pretty simple and cheap to make. If your device has been soft-bricked this will almost always work. If your device is hard-bricked this method will not work, I've tried.

Is your phone synced to your Google account? If yes, go to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?pli=1#contacts then click on the "More" button and select "Restore Contacts". Google saves all changes that were made to your contacts in the last 30 days.

Generally speaking, any system app you can disable can safely be disabled. Core system apps will have the disable button greyed out. You can see this if you open App info for the Settings app itself. Go ahead and disable all Google apps you don't want.
