This is a guide on removing the Factory Reset Protection form a Samsung Galaxy Tab E, model SM-T377V. This model was unable to use the conventional methods for bypassing the FRP such as the rootjunky method. To bypass FRP, I eventually had to work some ADB magic.

• Make sure ADB is installed, on Arch Linux this is done with:
  

  sudo pacman -S android-tools
  

• Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons to boot into the maintenance mode.

• Select Option 5 to enable ADB then press the Home Button to activate.

• Reboot the device back into the initialization screen.

• On the workstation with ADB installed run:
  

  adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
  

  • If that command does not work, then try:
    

    adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/
    

  • If THAT command does not work, then try:
    

    adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity
    

• Once the command has been entered, try to sign into the device using a newly created Google account. The verification should pass without any further problem.
