I have a samsung smart V11, I dont use it for phoning just for apps, i have recently replaced screen and battery but then dropped it and it wont go anymore. I got another new screen and still nothing. So next I purchased a v11 from mr money the porn broker up north on trademe for $1.00 this one now works with my new screen but has a 4 number pin. I have entered the recovery mode and done a factory reset but it still requires the old owners pin to get any further. Is there a way that this can be done without having to pay. I just want it for web cam.

Once you get in you might find that there is still a Google account and Samsung account that you will have to try and get rid of.

Yeah I'd be careful with this one, does indeed sound stolen. I'm sure they would've HAD to wipe it before reselling.

When someone stops using a phone they have to do a reset, which involves entering their password. If either they or the pawn broker forgot to do that you can't access the phone. It's a security feature and when i tried a year or two ago it was near impossible to bypass. That's probably why it was $1.

I thought the porn broker might check to see if items are stolen before he buys them. Either way I still would like to know if there is some way to do this, thanks for replys so far.

short answer no, long answer there are lots of websites that will tell you how to do this, and even some apps that say they will do it, I've never had any success with any method, and also have a lovely pile of phones and tablets that staff return with a PIN (most are fully managed now so this is happening less and less, as we just remote wipe it.) and it's amazing how fast people forget their pins....

I was once able to get around this (Factory Reset Protection) once previously. IIRC (and I think it was a year ago) I used an a process similar to that described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5vVos4eMiI
good luck.

Maybe the porn broker didn't want to touch the device too much? 😜🙃😜

And I doubt a pawn broker would try very hard or at all to check if this was a stolen item.

IME, there is now way around this outside of the Samsung business partner network. I have gotten PIN's removed from Samsung phones by sending it to SSCNZ, an authorised service centre & paying them.

Any "legit" pawn brokers will list down the IMEI number of the device before storing it and/or selling it. I would maybe contact them to see if they got that. If they do then they would've accessed it, if not then there's probably a reason they chucked it for cheap.

Coon:

do you know what proof you have to show them? - Nothing, I think. The business bought the phone on contract & I didn't have access to the accounts people who could provide such info.

...

how much did it cost? - 4yrs ago,+- $75, 2yrs ago, +-$100
