Hello everyone,
I just received my S4 AT&T (manufacture refurb, eBay), but the phone already is giving me headaches.
Every 5 minutes appears in the notifications the following message:
Security Notice:
Unauthorized actions have been detected. Tap here for more information. And then I tap and it appears: cancel or reboot.
After rebooting the phone the message keeps appears (is also keeps appearing if I tap cancel).
I think it's related with the wifi connection. I made some tests, and when I'm only in data connecting, the message do not appear.
Anyone have an idea? I really appreciate,
Matheus
I got the same problem
Phone was dead and i had to use odin to get back to stock.
Since that, I keep getting that warning too
Keep rebooting but still get the message ... all the time
very annoying

I just rooted my Galaxy S4 and started receiving these notifications. It is related to 'Knox' - Samsung's newish security feature, made to appease corporate customers. I side loaded the latest version of SuperSU, installed it, and during the install it asks if I want to disable Knox - said yes, issue gone. Note that you have to have root to install SuperSU

I just checked here, and my phone already have root access !!! it came "factory" rooted. It's VERY WEIRD. Again, I bought it from Ebay, and the seller stated in the ad: Manufacture Refurbished.
Once I'm new in this Root World, should I be worried about that? Like, it's is possible the seller put some malicious app in the sold phones? Sorry about the conspiracy theories, but I've never seen a supposed brand new phone (even though it's refurbished) came already with root.
Thanks

First thing I'd do with a new phone bought of eBay would be to flash the stock firmware in Odin. That way you know what you got and it would be like new. Just my $0.02.

I just started a similar thread and then saw this one. This happened to me also but as far as I know I did flash stock firmware, fnb1. It isn't the latest but it worked after several others failed so I just left it but now I have the same problem. Is it possible that I rooted the phone accidentally? I thought about trying towelroot to fix it but then I am rooted for sure. By the way, I never have found the latest stock firmware to be able to flash it.
This is driving me CRAZY!!!!!
I have installed a custom ROM (XtreStoLite) it has worked amazing, it was my first ever time to install a custom ROM so obviously I was having a good play around with all the tweaks etc, to where it started to slow my phone down a hell of a lot, I decided to do a fresh install of the custom ROM and everything went fine, it was until I was setting up my phone (logging in to google etc) and it asked me for the option of enabling "Reactivation lock", for SOME reason I agreed to it, knowing I shouldn't!!
anyway, this is where it all went abit wrong, I got stuck in a boot loop with the error "custom binary blocked by reactivation lock", after searching the whole internet I found the Odin "error" solution to gain access to my phone again.
My problem is, I don't seem to have an option in Settings > Security to turn off Reactivation Lock, it seems to be there in the search bar of settings, and it is checked but when I try to uncheck it, it takes me straight to the Security settings again.
I need to be able to disable option as I will not be able to access recovery mode otherwise, do you guys have any idea what I could possibly do? I have acess to a root explorer so I may be able to changed some values etc but I wouldn't know where to start to do that!!
Please guys, I'm struggling without my phone and my head feels like it will explode!!!
did you get anywhere with this? Having the same problem myself
I have the same issue, after having installed the same Rom. Now what?
It prevents me from recovery :/
Anyone already any ideas?
Downgrade to a stock KitKat ROM, log in with all accounts, disable reactivation lock > flash whatever you want after that, remember not to enable reactivation lock next time
Sorry to resurrect an old post, I managed to fix it and forgot the post the solution. quite easily actually.
Simply log onto your account via Samsung's web page and delete your account. This will then result to your lock being removed from the account and your phone being free of any errors! You might have to re-flash but it will fix any problems.

I'm having the same problem, I've deleted my Samsung account and reflashed a stock Rom but it just comes up asking me to enter my Samsung account details and I can't get any further than this screen.
Anything else I can try?

If you delete your account, it'll ask you to sign in anyway. You just have to remake that account.

So I fell victim to googles new FRP Security feature that requires you to log in using the same gmail account associated with the phone before it was reset. Short of it was I decided to flash a 6.0 ROM after using the 5.1.1 ROM to get my Project Fi account activated correctly.
After flashing 6.0 and I began going through the setup wizard where I was eventually prompted to enter the credentials for the account that I had used previously. I entered my credentials and was then sent to another screen asking me to reset my Gmail password (Turns out google decided my login attempt was suspicious...). So i reluctantly reset the password not knowing I had just screwed myself(for 72 hours at least). There is a 72 hour reset time from the time you changed your account password until you're able to use it to authenticate during the setup process and until you authenticate you cant use the phone.
Not having a backup phone I took to google and found that the only way around this problem involved a USB OTG storage device loaded with an apk that causes the settings app to launch allowing you to do a real factory reset(complete wipe of all credentials and data). Resetting the phone this way removes any account associations allowing you to setup the phone as if it were new once you've re-flashed it.
Not having the tools needed to do it that way I thought about it and decided to try a few things out and eventually found my solution.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage or loss of data that may result from the following procedure.
Solution
Requirements
A computer with adb installed
USB cable
Rom with Persistent ADB Enabled (I used the 5.1.1 Stock, Rooted Project Fi ROM)
Phone booted and at the Setup Wizard
Procedure
Have the phone turned on and sitting at the startup wizard
Connect the USB to you computer and then plugin your phone ( I assume you've already setup ADB)
The phone may then prompt you and ask to verify the device fingerprint which you will say yes to
open a terminal and type:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
am start -S com.android.settings -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
This will launch the Settings.apk
***NOTE: This will completely wipe your phone!*** (Edit: The Reset program claims to wipe all internal storage but for whatever reason my SDcard data was not touched. Would still recommend pulling any wanted data from the device prior to resetting)
Go to the Backup & Reset menu and perform a factory reset
After the phone finishes resetting, proceed to boot back into Recovery mode and re-flash your ROM
The Setup Wizard will now go through the steps without the FRP authentication steps.
Again, I have only tested this on my T-Mobile Nexus 6 (using Project Fi) running 5.1.1 so your mileage may vary depending on your setup. If you find this worked or didn't work for your particular setup/situation then post your results here.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: The original solution using the USB OTG storage can be found here.
Just to clarify a bit. The problem that these two methods try and fix stems from a new feature introduced in Lollipop called FRP(Factory Reset Protection). It is meant to keep someone that has stolen a phone from being able to use it by simply doing a factory reset and reinstalling the OS. To counter this, google requires the user to verify they're the owner of the device that was reset by giving the credentials of the google account associated with the phone before it was reset. The issue arises when the password to this account is changed after the device was reset but before verifying ownership of the device during the setup process. When this happens, you have to wait 72 hours before you will be able to verify ownership using the new password.
Edit 2: Specified having a ROM with Persistent ADB Enabled as a requirement for this to work.
I don't really follow your problem. It sounds like you may be using 2 factor authentication? If not You Should!
Also once you set up 2 factor make sure to print out the one time codes.
Maybe that wouldn't fix this, but I thought this was one of the things the one time codes get around.
Sorry if you're really saying that you can't reset your phone for 3 days after you change your password. If it is really that simple it seems pretty broken. I'd call Google on the phone. They are the only major corporation I've ever seen that has a phone answered by people that know what they're doing and can actually help you.

No, this isn't an issue with 2FA. From Google's standpoint this isn't an issue at all actually. This verification is, to my understanding, only required when the device is factory reset in recovery mode.
The purpose of 72 hour lock period seems to be there to protect user in the event someone is trying to gain access to their phone/account.
This normally isn't an issue since most people won't change their password in that small timeframe. In order to not require the verification, you have to disassociate the account from the phone before resetting it. This is done for you when you do a reset from the settings app on the phone. That's the reason for using these methods, it does a full reset including account removal.

Great work around.
I love that Google is putting in theft detection. A good fix to this chaos would be to require you to auth to do a reset from settings. That would close the hole. They also need to allow you to skip the 72 hour reset time with more security questions/answers. You know Google caches your PC settings. Simply logging into your google account from a known PC would be a great way to allow account authentication.
I am about to return my phone to amazon so just factory resetting through the settings menu will be fine for returning the phone so the next person doesn't have problems?

So to recap. It will NOT work on a device that was reset. Since USB debugging is off after a reset.

That was my thoughts exactly as it was happening to me, I initially was trying to figure out if there was an alternate authentication method and was a little surprised not to find one.
I really like the direction they're moving with thus security feature but I think it was thrown out a bit early. Nexus users are more likely to be doing factory resets and locking them with no way of fixing it (aside from waiting 3 days) out because they did so on a custom recovery isn't very cool on their part lol.

It worked for me. Before I figured this method out I had reset and flashed 2 6.0 ROMs and then the 5.1.1 ROM. Once I got to the setup wizard my device was listed under adb devices and I was able to get a shell.
Edit: It could be that the project fi ROM has USB debugging enabled by default(just a guess, haven't looked at the source to verify).
Edit 2: Confirmed that the Stock, Rooted, decrypted 5.1.1 ROM for Project Fi has persistent ADB enabled. Adding this as a requirement to the original post.

He's wrong, that absolutely will not be fine.
You need to make sure to remove any screen locking you've setup, sync your Google account, and then remove your Google account before resetting.

It seems you can enable persistent ADB and USB debugging on any ROM, as long as you can connect to the phone through ADB in recovery mode.
You just have to add a few lines to a file or two, then reboot the phone. See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47423916&postcount=5

Hey, first time poster, long time lurker. This is the first thing I have not been able to find a solution for.
In order to connect to ADB in recovery, does one need a custom recovery? My Nexus 6 bootloader is locked, running 5.1.0 LMY47D. I have fastboot access but can't pull up an ADB shell.:crying::crying:
I bought a Nexus 6 on eBay that was reset and I do not have the original users info. (I thought I was getting a pretty sweet deal because I'm so good at phones and blah blah)
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

As far as I know, yes, you need a newer version of a custom recovery. Anyway, if ADB doesn't connect, you certainly need another recovery, and you can't install that if you have a locked bootloader.

Hello,
I have a note 4 (Italian) blocked on the lockscreen.
after updating to 5.1 lollipopop (samsung official update via wifi),
the fingerprint reader has started to give some problems, then in about 24 hours by the update the phone does not ask me more unlocking fingerprint, but only by backup password;
but also by entering the backup password will not unlock, and says password wrong.
unfortunately debugging is not active ....
What can I do before performing a hard reset?
thanks!
Happened twice with my phone ...at last it accepted the backup password. .

You can always go back to your original software after root bat you will trip Knox for ever that mean you will void your warranty.
I saw that came out a firmware in late November N910FXXS1COK2 always based on 5.1.1 but with the fix, if I did the flash of this by Odin on my mobile in theory should fix it if it really had been caused by the previous update?
Odin also works with phone locked and debugging disabled?
thank you
Special thanks to rootjunky. I used part of his work to get this done. Enjoy
1. Startup priv
2. Connect to wifi
3 when priv shows checking connection then immediately it shows software update switch of router to stop connection with the priv
4 hit next till u get to the setup pattern screen, setup a pattern lock then restart phone
5 when phone restarts phone will be locked with the pattern u setup earlier.
6 launch the dialer button from th locked screen and dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter secret menu.
7 hit on usage statistics
8 hit on the back button and u will find yourself in settings
9 scroll down to backup and reset
10 reset phone and when phone starts up, setup a new device. That's it
Special hanks to rootjunky for tips
Doesn't work
follow the instructions as I posted before u come here to complain, I bypassed a device with that method . and little correction, the back key u should use when in usage statistics is the back key on the top left corner not the one down.
Even it didn't worked for me. I tried and went through this process very carefully but was all in vain.
Please suggest.
now tell me were u found difficult

Very strange. I tried this on 5.1 when I got the device and it worked with that process very well, even with the may security update it still works . Frp under normal circumstances shouldn't be triggered if the device is wiped from settings, this leaves us with food for thought.
