It is a false positive due to low-level system access. | Why use a free tool over a subscription service? Let’s compare.
A: No. FRP bypass does not wipe user data. However, if you are stuck on the verification screen, you likely already performed a factory reset. SAMFW simply helps you get past the setup wizard.
A: Not yet. You must use a Windows virtual machine (VMware or VirtualBox) on Mac/Linux.
