I recently encountered a concerning issue with my Samsung Galaxy S24. After forgetting my phone's password, I visited an authorized Samsung service center to perform a factory reset. Here's what happened:
- The staff informed me that a factory reset would wipe all data and required server verification, for which I agreed and proceeded.
- After the reset, to my surprise, the phone did not ask for Google or Samsung account verification.
- The technicians themselves were shocked and said this was the first time they encountered such behavior. They were able to skip all set up your phone things without any intervention and handed the phone back to me.
- They did not charge me due to this unusual situation.
This is a serious security concern, as Samsung devices are known for their secure hardware-backed encryption and Factory Reset Protection (FRP), which prevents unauthorized access post-reset.
If FRP can be bypassed in this manner, it raises questions about the reliability of security mechanisms on Samsung's flagship devices.
I urge Samsung to investigate this issue promptly to ensure the security of its users. If others have encountered similar issues, please share your experiences
