Title. I work at an ewaste center and found this being recycled. Oddly perfect condition aswell. It was already factory reset and I tried to set it up to give to my dad as he has an s20. After the network login I am prompted to confirm pattern in order to continue (which I don't have) I also tried adding my own google account but it needs to be the previous owners account
#Got s22+ from the ewaste center but setup is locked behind a pattern

I doubt you can’t as it’s a security measurement
Maybe try the guide pinned in Guide Directory on how to recover the software to try if it works. I don’t guarantee it will, but give it a try if you have no other ways
I've used samfw tool for frp in the past, but for some reason the program won't open for me anymore... And idek if samfw has setup bypass
Bypassing setup is basically violating the security phrase
Also looking at the guide - surprised the official Samsung server actually references samfw
For liability reason I may not be able to help you further than the thing I’ve said above. I think contacting Samsung may help, if you have the proof you’re the owner of it
Well I don't have a receipt or anything of the sort. Will providing pics help? I only took one outside of the building after I took it
I dunno 🤷
Actually I don’t know how to help with bypassing nor am I allowed to assist you with bypassing security layers
So your best bet is to contact official Samsung support
Or better, get a refund at the ewaste store you’re talking about
I didn't pay that's the thing. I work there and get infinite phones (not usually of this prestine quality and newer model). I repair em, they sell em, I make half profit
Will do then
Totally get that
Do you know what version is it on? are you looking to sell it?
if its one ui 5.1 or earlier i might be interested if your looking to sell it ofc
It's on android version 13. Dunno how to check one ui version
I've already tried samfw for removing the frp but the phone is too new
