Hi, At some point, I don't recall where, this device (Samsung Galaxy Tab A6) was identified at i9100, but now that I've done a factory reset lsusb only says:
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy series, misc. (MTP mode) I've managed to put it into Download mode, retrieved the pit file and attempted to reflash the RECOVERY partition and the BOOT partition with heimdall but it fails with this message on the device: "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" I've searched and found various ways that supposedly allow this block to be removed, but none work. The recovery.img (twrp) is supposedly for this exact device, the boot.img allows for rooting it, but I can install neither. This page: https://www.droidviews.com/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-a-sm-t280-and-install-twrp/ has the instructions I followed and the images I downloaded. Is there a way to bypass this "FRP lock"? There appears to be no way to do anything on this device without a google account, or without an internet connection. Is there any hope for re-flashing this apparently wery well locked-up piece of ... hardware? When I saw i9100, which is supported by replicant, I was hopeful...
