[Q] reactivation lock query?

Is there a general query that can be made either by AT Commands or adb to determine if reactivation lock is on? Don't want to actually change the state.
Boot into download mode and you'll see the status of reactivation lock.

Hi WPMan, thank you for the reply. Yes, I have seen that information show up on the boot screen with the reactivation lock on or off. I was asking if there was a way to know this information via the USB (either ADB or even Serial CDC)?

Reactivation Lock

Hi , i have Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F).
i tryed to reflash rom (beacause the fingerprint lock dont work) and encountered in problem of reactiovation lock that avoid me to acces to recovery mode.
tryed to find any solution and allready tryed everything i found.

Baseband version.....G900FXXU1BOD3
Bootloader version.....G900FXXU1BOD3

here is what i tryed and it didnt work for me.
1.
Download Kies
Connect your phone to Kies
Select the option to emergency/reset your phone.
You will be prompted to first enter your phone ID, then your serial number.
Then Kies will prompt you to boot up into dowloadmode.
Kies will then dowload and flash your phone.
When Starting up, you will have to log in to your Samsung acc to remove the lock.
MAKE SURE YOU GET IT UNTICKED. If not possible, try to remove Samsung acc from your phone and try again.
in this solution i had problems with : cant connect to kies (even with samsung cable, and tryed all usb ports in few comps).
2.
Go to Settings > Security > Uncheck Reactivation Lock
in this solution i had problems with : Settings> Security < Dont Have "Find My Phone" options (that have the reactivation option)
3.

You'll need to click on the firmware section and type in your S5 model number, if it's G900F, type that in
Site is sammobile . com

"OEM Unlocking". Check the box. This SHOULD disable the FRP lock as well. ??

SO before i was gonna flash custom recovery i turned on OEM Unlocking and usb debugging. I have done this many times before.
But now i get the Custom binary FRP lock. This happened right after i turned OEM unlocking on and restarted I didn't do anything els. Isnt this how you are suppose to turn the FRP lock off...
Because it has always worked before my phone isa J500FN
Now i have to recover the phone kies doesnt support my modell.. Been like this for a half year. So need to use Odin and flash default firmware i'm doing 5.1.1 I believe the marshmallow os did this. Or I have setup some protection against it so I have to turn it off. Iv read that samsung app have a way to turn off FRP and your google account got it too. So have to check into that later if this flash will complete fine I hope.

Just because it says it doesn't support, it doesn't mean it can't download the firmware. Use the upgrade option and put in your model number and serial and it will download the the correct firmware.

MDM profile? Managed by IT SM-T597V

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab A SM-T597V.
The device allows me to factory reset and even used Odin to flash the factory ROM onto the device. I’ve even successfully been able to rush through the set up and access settings and enable USB debugging.
But no matter what if I go through the set up menus it eventually pops up and says “Managed by your IT department” and installs an app called “Hub.” The KG state says Prenormal and FRP Lock says OFF. OEM unlocking has never shown as an option.
Has anyone encountered this or know of an option to keep the device installing these programs during the set up screen?
Any advice pointing in right direction would be great!
