Enable USB Debugging with custom ROM

Bypassing USB Debugging off and FRP Google Account lock enabled on a Samsung XCover4.

Model: Samsung XCover4

Tools

Bypass FRP and Google Account Lock

  1. Get Custom ROM
  2. Unzip boot.img.lz4 with lz4
  3. Unpack boot.img
  4. Edit default.prop
  5. Repack boot.img
  6. Pack back to lz4 format with lz4 -B6 --content-size in.img out.img.lz4
  7. Add to Stock ROM
  8. Pack tar file without md5

Unlock Bootloader

The OEM unlocking option was missing in the Devloper settings. This is due to a seven day lock by Samsung. Changing the date of the phone to a previous date will bypass this lock and the Unlocking option will appear again.

After that Custom ROM can be installed.
