Galaxy S22 Ultra SM-S908U1 | S908U1UESAGZE

Android 16, May 5th 2026 security patch.

A relative's friend purchased an as is S22 Ultra from a pawn shop style store for $50. It was already factory reset and has FRP lock when I got it. They want me to check if there's a way around it.

Even a bypass like installing a Chinese rom for only youtube or facebook use through wifi would be sufficient as long as Whatsapp is also still working.

They have a pawn shop receipt but that probably won't help. The IMEI listed on the back shows that it's not blacklisted. It's just FRP locked.

Any possible exploit available or should I tell them to complain and at least get store credit for the paperweight?
