[Q] Rooted Note 4 and Reactivation Lock?

Hi all,
I was wondering if I'd still be able to use the reactivation lock after rooting my note 4?
As in: If the phone is rooted (using stock recovery) and a factory reset is preformed from bootloader, will the OS prompt to enter the Samsung Account credentials?
Found the following topic, but it did not make things clear:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/reactivation-lock-root-t3004321
The model that I'm using: SM-N910F.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Anyone?

I m not sure but it's like this, u can't root if your phone reactivation is on & once u root without reactivation, u can't activate reactivation.

Thanks for your reply, I will not be rooting this phone then.
I would mainly be rooting to be able to use the Moga universal driver for my controller.
But the reactivation lock is really a neat feature that I would not want to lose.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Reactivation Lock
I can confirm (at least with your request having been put in layman's terms!!) that no, the reactivation lock does........NOT work after rooting!
dang. I could swear that after rooting my Note 4 n910G, reactivation lock still works. im positive about it. I did it a few times, checking n unchecking it. But i got sick of Odin errors because of having Reactivation Lock on that i just left it unchecked for then on & havent touched it since. I donr even know how important a feature it is.

phone crashed - Fingerprint deleted - 120 Minutes lock after wrong

Hi,
yesterday evening my redmi 3s (http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_487801.html) crashed while I used facebook App.
it restarted
i gave in sim-Pin
but normally i use fingerprnt to unlock the phone - this does not work any longer - I tried to unlock the phone with my formerly used pattern but it does not work. perhaps i don't remember. perhaps it is erased, too?
now i can try a pattern each 120 Minutes - then phone is locked if pattern is wrong.
Do you have any ideas how to fix this? this is really important because i do not want to make new rom to the phone.
thank you in andvance

Always you Turn ON or reboot the phone, you must (Yes or Yes) get Unlocked with the Pattern or Pin, the Fingerprint do not work until the phone is unlocked at leat one time.
If you do not remember the Pattern or Pin, you sould to do a factory reset from recovery or flash MIUI rom via fastboot.

Really Need Help With My J7 Perx, FRP Locked

So I have been trying just about EVERYTHING to remove this Goddamn FRP Lock on this phone. I used Odin to reflash the factory firmware, still same lock, tried factory resetting on the recovery menu... I just don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!?
How I got this stupid lock:
So my friend just gave me a phone that he got from a friend. He never turned it on since apparently, and when I got it, it had a password lock saying, 'Ha, you dont know my password *****'. Extreme letdown, then I thought 'Hey, why not factory reset through recovery, since I now own it. Now I am stuck with this FRP Lock, and without a doubt, he doesn't give me the account information needed to unlock it.
Try this

Forgot Pattern

Trying to help out a family member. She setup a pattern on her phone and forgot it....
Google search returns "dr.fone" but when installed it only shows options till GS3 IIRC
Samsung find my mobile doesn't help as location is off
She has no backup and doesn't sync with Google Photos.
Any idea how to remove the pattern and retain the data?
if you set pattern only to unlock the phone then there is no chance you forget pattern i am using finger,pattern & iris to unlock my S8+ there is no way to unlock your phone without correct pattern factory reset is only option to unlock if FRP ia not On

i've read that there is a way to sideload other firmware, like in videos such as below (xda wont let me post video because i'm new), but search for "ALL SAMSUNG WITHOUT DATA LOST Remove Pin,Pattern,Password In FRP ON,OEM Mode Part 2 to Part 18"
anyone know how to do this for s8+ ?
I set a pattern and don't remember it, battery died so I couldn't use my fingerprint. phone is NOT attached to samsung account, so I am really in a bind here because I need to access it withOUT wiping
Please help

No i mean the Frp lock.
This was a phone i got off an old friend. Long store short. I cant just ask him for the information.
My work has security protocols that if you try to unlock your phone too many times.. It factory resets.
So while it was in my pocket. It tried too unlock too many times. Its factory reset with FRP
So i am looking for combination firmware with binary 10
