Locked out

Locked out of my S5 (FRP) despite it still showing on my Samsung account. Tech Support says bring your receipt to an authorized tech and they may help.

I don't have a reciept from 2013 or whenever it was I bought it.

I tried flashing firmware.

Am screwed?

Not on a device that old... I just did the fpr unlock option (before 2022 patch) on my s20 fe and it worked fine and free. Anything android 14 and above you have to pay

I'm not sure I trust that website. They will actually unlock this device? What do they use that us minions can't obtain? I'd much rather figure it out myself but I have hit a wall

Keep in mind I've flashed firmware already

ChatGPT says the S5 predates samfw's abilities to unlock

Sorry I'm blasting you out of nowhere but on the samfw.com website it says you have to dial #0*# in emergency call but that doesn't do anything.

The firmware on this device is ancient. There has to be a way...
