Samsung SM-T280 FRP - Factory Reset Protection Lock - Fix

Since Office Depot, SquareTrade and Samsung could not help with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A suddenly freezing on the logo screen with a "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP lock", I had to take matters into my own hands.
First, the only thing that I changed in the last 6 months of use was the addition of another Google Account and perhaps OEM lock was checked/unchecked?
Regardless, the aforementioned companies should know how to do this:
  • Visit True Android
  • Download Odin
  • Download firmware for Samsung Galaxy A Tab

  • Now I can resume on the fly development using AIDE

    Forgot to mention that I will once again root following XDA so that I can remove bloatware and view the LogCat on the device.

    Data Forge Exchange - DFX

    Sorry I've been away hawking my services as an EXTRACT, TRANSLATE and LOAD consultant at http://dfx.dataforge1.com.
    So far, two clients:
    1. One in the garment industry where they required an API to pull data off an order site and manipulate reports locally.
    2. The other is an Autism Therapy agency that requires a custom appointment calendar with GPS, clock in, clock out and signature.

    Burning ISO Image to PC from a Physical Disk

    Not having to insert game CDs into the CD drive is a good reason to do this. I recently used BurnAware's "Copy to ISO" function.
    Once you have the ISO (CD/DVD image) on your hard drive, you can use a virtual drive from Elaborate Bytes to mount the image.

    Currently I am making ISO disk images of the following games:
    Halo 2
    BioShock
    GTA III
    Assassin's Creed

    Back to Unbricking a Kindle Fire HD 6

    I am unable to get past a flashing wallpaper screen after disabling system apps that I should NOT have disabled. STUPID!

    Since I am quite fond of the 6 inch screen Android device, I am determined to get past this, but the ADB devices command reveals:
    C:\Users\thinkpad>adb devices
    List of devices attached
    008808075227056M unauthorized

    Boo!

System environment variables set to execute adb After I get:
    C:\Users\thinkpad>adb devices adb server is out of date. killing... * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached 008808075227056M offline http://www.droidextra.net/install-adb-drivers-for-any-android-device/

    After a long absence from the above nonsense, I simply followed the instructions at Imma Wake on YouTube

    Root the Samsung Tab A 7.0

    One must enable Developer Options by tapping 7 times on the Build Number.
  • Download the APK from KingRoot
  • Connect tablet to PC via USB cable
  • Copy the downloaded APK file to Download folder on tablet
  • Tap the APK file on the tablet
  • Good Luck
  • If the above did not work at all, then try Kingo Root.
