What is KG Lock?

KG Lock, also known as Kangaroo Lock, is a security feature implemented by Samsung on their devices to protect against unauthorized access after a factory reset or software modification. It is part of the device’s security framework designed to prevent theft and unauthorized usage.

When KG Lock is active, the device will demand verification of the original Samsung account credentials used on the phone before it can be used again. If you don’t have these credentials, you are effectively locked out of the phone.

KG Lock is especially relevant for newer Samsung devices running recent Android versions such as Android 14. It functions similarly to FRP (Factory Reset Protection) but is specific to Samsung’s ecosystem and tied to their Knox security platform.

Reasons for KG Lock Activation

• You performed a factory reset without removing the Samsung account first.
• You purchased a second-hand phone that still has the previous owner’s Samsung account active.
• Software flashing or firmware repair was done without properly removing or bypassing KG Lock.
• A failed or interrupted update or repair process triggered KG Lock.
• Device detected as lost or stolen and remotely locked by Samsung’s Find My Mobile or Knox.
