Smartphones have become like a personal vault where we store our important and sensitive data. While we keep this vault secured with a pattern, PIN, face, or fingerprint lock. On top of these, there is an extra layer of security called FRP (Firmware Reset Protection). FRP is triggered when someone makes several failed attempts to unlock the phone or perform a factory reset in an untrusted environment. Once the FRP lock mode is turned on, you won’t be able to access your phone unless you enter your Google account credentials. If you own a Samsung phone or tablet and are stuck with an FRP-locked device, you can try an FRP lock removal tool. Using SamFw FRP Tool, you can remove and bypass the FRP lock on Samsung devices for free.
What is Factory Reset Protection (FRP)?
FRP is a built-in security feature in Android phones and tablets. The feature is automatically enabled when it senses unauthorized attempts to unlock the device. Also, if someone tries to do a factory data reset without removing the Google account first, FRP will come into play and will not let you access the device to protect its data. If you are the genuine owner of an Android phone or tablet, you can easily bypass FRP using your Google account details.
If you don’t remember your Google account password but remember the Gmail address you used to sign in on your Samsung device, you can reset your password by going to myaccount.google.com. However, if you don’t have any clue about your Google account credentials, you can visit the Samsung service center with the purchase receipt to help you get rid of FRP.
Some people might think that performing a factory data reset might remove the FRP lock. However, even a factory reset via recovery won’t help as you’ll still need to enter your Google account credentials.
An unauthorized attempt has been made to reset your device to factory default settings. Connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network to verify your identity.
In such a situation you got only 2 options left:
- Enter the correct Google account login details
- Use an FRP recovery tool like SamFw FRP Tool
A while ago, I published a tutorial on removing FRP Lock with combination firmware. However, that method which involved flashing combination files using the Samsung Odin tool worked only on old Android versions. SamFw FRP Tool lets you bypass FRP lock on a much wider range of Samsung Galaxy devices. Let’s talk about this amazing FRP removal tool for Samsung. So, stop looking for an FRP bypass code or a magical APK that will let you bypass FRP and try the SamFw FRP removal tool.

Hello Rakesh!
Congratulations to all your great articles. I really appreciate them.
May I write to you about a problem I am facing. I found some Samsung A51’s in the rubbish bin with broken LCD’s. I changed the LCD’s and was hoping to be able to use them thereafter.
As it turns out, these devices all have Intune installed on them. That is an administrator tool, that blocks numerous features, including the downloading of many popular apps. Intune can not be unistalled and it is also blocking features such as UBS Debugging.
To circumvent this I have tried soft and hard factory re-sets and to re-flash the firmware which appeared to be successful, yet this Intune remains and the related blocks as well. I used CSC and not Home CSC.
I used the same firmware which was already on the mobiles, i.e. A515FXXU5EUJ4 because the Friya automatic mode did not give me any alternative when entering A515F and a random CSC (it says no firmware available).
Any ideas how this could be fixed / re-solved? Thank you.
Franco
If you have any management software on your Android device and try to remove it, you have likely found that both Force Stop and Uninstall options are greyed out. The solution is to set that program to not be an “administrator”, then uninstall it.
Try the following steps and let me know.
1. Launch ‘Settings’ then ‘Lockscreen and Security’.
2. Click ‘Other Security Settings > Device Administrators’.
4. Slide the ‘Company Portal’ slider to off (or whatever management/security software you are having problems uninstalling).
5. Click ‘Deactivate’.
6. Click ‘OK’ on the warning.
7. Go back to ‘Settings’ and click ‘Apps’.
8. Click ‘Application Manager’.
9. Click ‘Company Portal’ (or whatever management/security software you are having problems uninstalling).
10. Click ‘Force Stop’, then ‘Clear Data’, then ‘Uninstall’.
How do I connect and open test mode when the emergency dialer just keeps saying its blocked
Hi rakesh im trying frp removal on my s21 fe but there is no option of emergency dialer on start screen. Android 13. What to do thanks
Thanks a lot. It helps me removing the frp on my A105fn when I thought there is no solution
Please help.
Before coming across your blog I had already found the FRP program remover but no matter what I try it tells me there is no “ADB Connection”
So what I did was download and install a ADB connection driver but it still did not work.
I even tried getting ADB directly into my C: folder and that didn’t work either.
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (released 2021)
