Hello all, i have searched endlessly on this site and didnt quite find my answer. Or didnt understand what to do, as i am not up to speed to what everything means. A little background...
i bought a used t713 not knowing it was "bricked?" (MDM/FRP). When i first powered it on i was unable to do anything as the home screen does not allow anything to be done. The message "Device turned off, contact IT" appears. Cant access settings nor turn it off.
In my desperate attemps to do a hard reset without being able to turn it off, i reset the tablet then pressed the combination of keys and got it to the "andriod recovery" screen. Tried to "wipe data/factory reset" but was not successful due to mdm. What makes my case unique is that i cant access anything such as setting so any youtube vids or other posts does not really help. Aside from the fact that i do not understand what anything means... Odin vs flashing vs rooting vs etc.
Can anyone provide a solution where a total newbie can follow the instructions?
Please see the attached photos for issues and tablet software version. ***once i figure out how***
So i cant figure out how to post the pics but below is the info from the "Android Recovery" screen
samsung/gts28vewifixx/gts28vewifi
7.0/NRD90M/T713XXU2BQD3
Also, i was able to ender the download mode, which i figured is Odin mode. From there i can see the following options:
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Dowload: Enable.
with the info provided above what would be my first step?
Flash via odin? Then do a FRP bypass?
If you can enter Download Mode, then flash it with the latest of Android 6 and proceed to bypass FRP
This FRP lock is a joke because many can do it without any problem as long they read and do it properly

Is there any specific odin version to use? From reading there are a few places to get Android 6... sammobile?
The Odin version is not important as long as it’s close to the latest one. Search Google FRP bypass you will see many discussions from this forum. Read carefully what others did, you will see it’s a piece of cake.
You need to read In order to see mistakes others did too and why they failed.
I'm in the same situation. A used SM-T713 that has FRP lock on. I've researched the web and seen every YouTube scam there is. I've downloaded oldest firmware available on Sammobile and flashed with ODIN. I've also used the newest firmware available from Sammobile. Notta. I am so very very frustrated. There are about a bazillion people with this situation and I cannot find a one that has managed to bypass the FRP lock. If you know how to help, OMG, I would be sooooooooo very grateful. I'm not new to flashing. I have rooted many phones, flashed many ROMS, very familiar with TWRP and Superuser and Chainfires cfautoroot. Is there any hope? Of do I just smash the heck out of this thing and burn it to a puddle of plastic in the middle of my living room????

You should be patient , FRP is a joke as long as you know how. In order to bypass, you should be specific what build you currently have.
Forget the Android 7 because most methods which don't use OTG cable are not working. The best way is downgrade to Android 6.
I don't have this model but the most popular methods are using Talk Back to open chrome, Hot Spot to create new users, and using Assist to open chrome.
You see a lot of youtube videos which are not working because most posters don't understand a method only work with certain build and model.
As long as you can open Chrome to download needed apps , FRP will be gone . I can bypass FRP on 5 different Samsung tablets so it's not a rocket science as long as you know which method works and uses it.
This is an example of method using Talk Back

Thank you for taking time to reply. I've seen this exact message you pasted here. I've tried to do all 3 possibilities offered with no success. I have current os of nugat. I've got backup from sammobile. Also used Odin to attempt downgrade to 6...fail because ftp lock prevents flash in odin. Tried talk back. ..the L during tutorial is prevented. So, for me anyway, this is rocket science! Please allow me the dignity of being able to read, search, view, attempt. ...every conceivable avenue for solution.
My device is SM-T713 running latest update of Nougat with FRP lock on. I do not know the previous user name and password so can not bypass FRP. Does this explanation clarify my dilemma? Do you possibly have a blueprint of the rocket science? Most of the Web results lead to dead end spams.
I see a common mistake of failing to bypass FRP: using methods only work with Android 6. All methods I mentioned only work with Android 6, use it to bypass FRP a tablet with Nougat is pointless because it's not applicable.
Downgrade to Android 6, you need to flash 3 files BL, AP, and CSC. Common mistake when downgrade is just flashing the AP file only.
This is an example of failing to downgrade

I have done downgraded Android 7 to Android 6 hundred times without any issue to bypass FRP.
Again, thank you for taking time to reply. I sincerely appreciate your efforts.

As long as you can downgrade, I am sure you can bypass FRP as Android 6 has many security flaws that a certain method will work.
Like SM-T280 , it's Lollipop but I can only use Talk Back method with older build. SM-T670, SM-T377 also is Lollipop but I have to use Hot Spot method with the current build.
SM-T560, Hot Spot method only works with older builds of Android 6, the latest build of Android 6 has to use Assist method.
SM-T580, P580 I can bypass FRP on both Android 6 and 7, but the method used in Android 7 will trigger Knox count.
These are few examples what can be done to bypass FRP on 6 different Samsung tablets . It's the same like a certain move in self defense, you cannot use it in every single situation or position. Apply wrongly, you will be hit or fail. As long as you know which one will work, FRP lock is a joke to me.

Thank you for taking time to explain the joke
Seriously, this security lock is a joke as I can do with ease on different Samsung tablets. Read this forum you will see, newbies would have troubles to unlock their tablets
but eventually they are able to bypass this FRP lock. So again, it's not a rocket science, you need to be patient and try different methods.
I started the same like yours, didn't know what to do. However, by learning and practicing, I do actually see it's a piece of cake as long as you understand which method can apply to a certain build or OS.

So i downloaded odin, samsung drivers and 7zip. As well as APK6 firmware (latest Android 6 fw i found on updato). From the APK6 download, there was only one tar.md5 file. Question is should i find fw that has the 3 seperate files or running the one i have in AP should work?
Flash the AP file only, it may not erase user data and factory reset. You can try it, it may pass Odin but starts at the same lock screen again.
If you need the BL and CSC files, I could upload for you, but this is an US version.

So i was able to downgrade the firmware to APK6, with only the AP file but i was greeted with an "to start up device enter password" message. Something i havent seen before... not same lock screen
Tried to do factory reset and failed due to mdm.

Flash again with BL, AP, and CSC , this is US firmware.

Thanks for the files. Flashed all three files and was still greeted with the enter password screen. Mdm still prevents factory reset when trying to resetthru recovery menu. Any other pointers?
