Hello! My Galaxy Note 3 Exynos SM-N900 is now officialy a brick, so I guess this thread will help others to not do the same as I did. Here I go:
As you guys know, Exynos version of the Galaxy Note 3 doesn't have a lot of custom roms, so, I get tired of waiting for the kitkat update, donwloaded the Crisktelo rom 4.4.2, and flash it. Nothing wrong. The problem get with the camera, it works but takes so poor quality photos.
I tried to get back to stock, I get the Panama's TBA 4.4.2 stock firmware from Sammobile, because I am from Costa Rica and my Sammy is unlocked carrier free. Flashed as usual using Odin but the phone was the same no data was deleted, just the firmware changed. I wanted to get full wype to start again, backup everything and make factory reset using the menu on the phone. I totally forgot that the security option using Samsung Account to prevent theft was enabled. So I get to the screen of Samsung Account and get the ERR_0000 (Processing Failed) when I put my email and password for my Sammy Account. Aparently there is no way no get my phone back, this error is very weird in forums to happens and tried everything, from changing my password, by unsuscribing my account and enable it again. Flash the stock firmware several times, and as you know I can get the warranty because of the Know counter.
So maybe some of you are thinking to use that security feature, I guess if you use custom roms is a bad idea, but if you use stock there is no problem, even if your phone gets stolen, neither the thief or you can get it work again.
PS: I know ther is a thread similar to this one, but the difference is I KNOW my password and user, and this error is in the equation. So maybe I can get help or get help to others. Either way, I'm looking for a new phone, HTC One or LG G2?
As u can see Processing Error means -> wrong email/account has been entered.
Please use the correct account fro N900 otherwise u need to perfrom EFS clear
Also, can you check REACTIVATION LOCK in download mode and post result.
That is surely an expensive lesson. I guess Samsung Service Center can help you out providing that u can bring prove of purchase and be prepared for some financial charges as this kind of thing is surely out of warranty.

I read the whole thread but apparently is not available for end users just for Samsung Support... I think that is the solution but I can`t do it. But thanks!

Indeed. My note 3 is just 3 months old, I have the invoice, I will send the phone this saturday to them, if they charge me more than $200 to do that I will let the phone as a loss and buy a new one. I'll update this thread.

You're not alone here, and I can tell you that this problem has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you're using a custom rom, because my phone is on the stock 4.4 rom, and has never been rooted, wiped (until now), or tampered with.
This is not an "Expensive lesson," or a mistake on your part.
This is a broken feature of the note 3 device, and I have been on and off the phone with samsung all day.
So far there is nothing they can do from their end. And for those of you who are wondering, yes, you can log into your samsung account from your PC or whatever, but the activation lock will not let you in. I'm still working on resolving this issue. I think it's a problem with Samsung's login gateway to be honest. I experienced this last night at 10pm, and so far it hasn't been fixed.
So far I have this:
10pm - 7am EST: "Processing Failed.(ERR_0000)"
7am - 9am EST: "Unfortunately Samsung Login has stopped."
10am - 2pm EST: Processing failed
Between not letting me in and crashing, everything else has been pretty useless. Don't waste any more time formatting or wiping.
I CAN tell you that the minute I get back into the phone, I'm returning it to stock and putting it up for sale.

Thanks! I try to spread this info to as many people as I can, Google+, Twitter, Facebook... People need to know that Samsung is doing this, and I know that this "feature" is not well implemented, I will go to the store and try to get a replacement. If Samsung is keeping this Knox and other security "fails" features, they are gonna keep me away from their products. Please keep updating if you get your device back working.

I have had the exact same experience. A guy from tech support in the US said that mine may be trying to authenticate in the US, but since it is from Panama, it is conflicting and causing the error. He also mentioned a seemingly universal unlock code that can be provided from Samsung in the UK. I have already spent 10USD adding Skype credit in order to contact them, but they were closed when I called. I'm going to attempt it tomorrow. I will be destroyed if I have to send my phone to Panama or a similar place; the wait and customs can be aggravating.
The phone was so awesome (minus the volume warnings and skype vs call app default selection not working) before I upgraded to KitKat. I just wanted to factory reset it to make it stable :/
We should warn people not to select that Samsung Account option; it is certainly not stable.

I talk with the support in Panamá today. Because I Live in Costa Rica, I can call them for free. They didn't tell me anything about the universal unlock code. But only I have to take my phone back to the store and they will reset it. I Was wondering about what you say, how they can give you a unlock code even if they can't verify from distancie that you are the true owner of the phone?
I read in another thread here that Samsung support guys can only reset the phones verifying the true autenticy of the owner. If you wish, i can call samsung support in Panamá today and así if your phone using a firmware from Panamá needs to be sent there. I guess not but I can ask.

That would be so helpful. Please ask them about it because my Spanish sucks lol. And please report back about the reset experience.
As far as that code, I admit that it does sound fishy like most things Sammy reps say. I thought they would investigate the processing failure instead of exploring the possibility that it wasnt really my phone.
I hope all goes well with resetting yours.

Thanks again JosHeron for offering to talk to Sammy in Panama for me.
I fixed my issue I used a XXUDNA9 4.4.2 KitKat rom that I flashed with ODIN 3.7. Once I flashed the rom, the phone rebooted and then it said that it was optimizing the apps. After that, I went through all of the steps and on the sign-in screen, it accepted my Sammy account and password on the first try.
Here is my theory on what caused the issue. When I did the recovery screen (vol up, home, power) wipe data and erase all, I think that it tripped the abnormal reset thing. Im not sure if it would do the processing failed if I had reset the phone from the settings menu. In any case, attempt to reinstall XXUDNA9 4.4.2 KitKat and then try to enter the Samsung account and Password.
Detailed Steps:
I am assuming that you have a SM-N900 International Note 3. If your phone does not boot with SM-N900 on the splash screen, find the appropriate stock rom for your phone. Otherwise, you can break your phone
This process should could take 4 hours +/- 1 depending on your internet speed.
Step 1: Get Materials (Adapted from http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/02/n900xxudna9-android-442-kitkat-firmware.html)
- Download KitKat XXUDNA9 4.4.2 for SM-N900: http://terafile.co/3120933f433b
- Download Odin Verision 3.07 (3.09 does not play well with Note 3 and the old KitKat): https://copy.com/zowadQ32bn9T
Step 1: Factory Wipe and Clear Cache (Adapted from http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/02/n900xxudna9-android-442-kitkat-firmware.html)
- Switch off the phone
- Remove the battery and then re-insert it after several seconds
- Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.
- Release the buttons when the screen flickers and then wait for the Recovery Mode main screen to appear.
- If the Recovery Mode doesn’t boot, then you should keep trying until it does.
- Select factory wipe with the volume up key and then the power button, confirm
- Select Clear Cache
- Reboot the phone in normal mode by selecting the Reboot option.
Step 2: Make Sure the Phone to at least 80% capacity
Step 3: Reinstall KitKat XXUDNA9 (Adapted from http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/02/n900xxudna9-android-442-kitkat-firmware.html)
- Switch off your phone and boot Galaxy Note 3 N900 into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down+Home+Power buttons (long press until the boot screen appear), now press Volume Up key to proceed to Download Mode.
- Extract the downloaded Odin3.07 zip file and run the Odin3 v3.07.exe file as an administrator (Right click on the .exe file and click on Run as administrator)
- Now connect your Galaxy Note 3 N900 to your computer via USB cable
- In Odin3 screen, you should see a COM Port number like “0:[COM7]” at ID:COM section and “Added!” text at the message box. This means -your device has been detected by Odin3.
- Make sure that, only the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options are checked. Failure to do so can brick (break/damage your device)
- Now, extract the downloaded firmware zip file, you’ll find a firmware file with extension .tar.md5
- In Odin screen, click on PDA button and select the firmware file with .tar.md5 extension (The firmware file look something like: N900XXDLJ5_N900ODDDLI7_INU.tar.md5)
- Now, click on the Start button to begin the installation process, wait few moments.
- Once completed, you would see “PASS!” message in ID:COM port having green background
- Your phone should automatically reboot after completion
- You can now disconnect your phone from computer
You should be able to enter your Samsung Account and Password without processing error_0000 now.
(Update: There is an issue with the Internet browser, flash the latest KitKat to fix)
Although it is fixed, I'm still scared about what else Samsung and Knox may do. I love the phone, but the thought of $700.00 down the drain was pretty horrific.
Lessons learned: Turn off that Samsung Activation thing before reset and don't update the phone until most users say that it is stable.
I hope this helps. I'm going to get some sleep. I've spent the night obsessing over it lol

It really does give me great pleasure to announce that this method worked for me as well. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the rough, official fix for this issue is as follows: (you'll get more detailed instructions on flashing and using Odin elsewhere, typing this quickly at work)
1) Download XXUDNA9 4.4.2 firmware for the SM-N900
2) Download Odin 3.07 (it is reported that the note 3 doesn't play well with 3.09)
3) connect your phone to your pc, open Odin and select your md5 file under PDA
4) allow it to complete the flashing process and then log into your Samsung account
Thanks to everyone who helped in trying to figure this out. I'm gonna check back and make sure everyone's phone was fixed.
Good luck!

Well, finally I can join and tell that my phone is back and running as before. Thank you guys, this method is the real fix for this issue and as always, I can find better support here than the official one.
7 days without the phone was horrible, because I had to use a laggy, crashed screen iPhone 4 with those little keyboards. God, no. I repeat Thank you!

I had the same problem, but after doing the procedure described before is working as well, I must say thank you to give us a solution, everything is working as before with my phone. thanks again.
I know this is off topic, but do you guys know of a real backup without root? After I reinstalled kitkat and restored the backup, I was not impressed; Kies is a joke

I never do a "real" backup, I just backup my photos on OneDrive, Dropbox and Google+. My sms and whatsapp chats always get lost and the others like Telegram have sync. But do you ever tried Helium?

Helium looks like it could work. I lost my subway surfer progress after I fixed the phone. With kies, it only saved text messages, photos and music, and some other useless settings. I think I may have backed up incorrectly with kies. When I selected apps, I don't think all of them were actually selected.
Anyhow, I'm definitely going to try helium. Some people in the comments said that it backed up the kind of data that I'm interested in.
Thanks.

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.

Keep "OEM unlocking" enabled in the future. It will disable "Device protection"

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.

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.

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.

In the Welcome screen, have you tried the OTG trick, or any of the other methods that seem to allow you to get in Settings, from where you can do a proper reset?

Hi guys can you help to frp bypass on Samsung SM-G530H Galaxy Grand Prime without otg function, can i use this tut or need another rom for sm-g530h? where i can find Rom with Persistent ADB Enabled? Thanks
I've been searching for the last 6-7 hours straight for an exact answer. I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ass-lock-screen-pattern-password-pin-t2948336 a few times. I've Googled. I've YouTubed. Facebooked. All that.
I bought a refurbished AT&T Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910A) from eBay that was unlocked so I could use Straight Talk service. I believe it is using 4.4 KitKat but I could be completely wrong. I've had the phone for a year now. I never had to use the lock screen before until today. Reason is is because last time I didn't and I left it around co-workers, I ended up with a few unsightly photos from my 400lbs manager. Hahah. So today, I decided to use the pattern lock and put it on charge as I was outside for about an hour. I came in, was able to take the pattern off. But noticed my swipe option had been greyed. So I put the pin on (using only four numbers). For some reason, I thought it would enable the swipe option. I was obviously wrong. So I went to change it from the pin to the pattern and my pin became unrecognized/incorrect. Thought it was only because of the option settings. So I locked my screen. Obviously an extremely bad idea.
I now cannot get past my screen lock. I have tried getting into it with my computer through USB, it won't connect. Not even trying a Mini SD mounted (won't read on my computer). I have tried ADM, but apparently it has been **** for the "Lock" option for over a year now. I didn't register the phone with Samsung so "FindMyMobile" isn't working. The option to enter my Google account info doesn't show up; even after 35 attempts. No idea how to use ADB. Have read that Windows OS is pretty much impossible to use debugging. Especially with Win10. I have nothing backed up as I never expected/thought this would/could happen.
Of course, like nearly every other person, I just want to save the thousands of photos I have accumulated over the year of having my phone. At least before I have to do a factory reset.
I am a hardcore n00b at going so in depth with phones. So Layman's terms would be extremely appreciated. Or direct links would be great as well.
I believe I have covered as much information as I can think of. If any more info is needed to help figure out this issue, please ask. And thank you to all in advance!

I am no expert in this matter, but I believe factory reset is one option but you will loose all your data.
(non-root method- safest)
1. Power off
2..Keep holding the power button +volume up+home button together to go into recovery
3. Use volume keys to navigate and select factory reset
4. reboot and you are done
Second option is to root your phone. This will trip knox and your warranty will be void if you still have it
(Root Method)
The method I use to root is :
1. Download TWRP recovery for your mobile(search for your device) from https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html site and keep it ready on your system
2. dowload super su 2.71 beta and put that into your external sd card using card reader.
3 Put your phone on download mode(power off and restart by holding power button + vol down + home)
4. Open latest version of Odin and connect phone to system via usb cable. Now "COM" in odin should turn blue
5. select tar file in AP section. Make sure repartition and reboot is unchecked just before flashing
6. click start
7.It will run for a few min and say pass when complete.
8.now remove your battery and insert after a few seconds. reboot into recovery by using step 2 in non-root method and you should login to twrp recovery
9.click install button and select super user zip u placed in sd card. flash it (u may have to uncheck signature verification). Now you are rooted!
10. wipe cash and reboot again into recovery
11. download the zip from :http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ass-lock-screen-pattern-password-pin-t2948336 (Developed by Dr. Ketan)
12. Install this zip as you installed Super SU and you should be good to go.
There are so many links and step by step guides on how to root your device. You can choose your favorite. This is what I can think of and please don't hold me responsible if you damage or brick your device. Good luck!
Note : It would be better to keep super su and the zip from Dr. Ketan downloaded and moved to external SD card before you flash the recovery

If it's the reactivation lock then Factory reset will NOT help, it will just make you lose the data and still keeps you locked out.
Only "fix" i know for this is through a service center.
You could try to use ADB to pull the data so you won't lose anything, but i'm not sure if that would work (maybe through the recovery)
Good luck though :good:
Hello, my friend gave my a Samsung Galaxy J510fn, because she forgot her lock pattern. Phone is not stole or something, as you might think first I got a login and password for google account registered on this phone if that would help. Phone has been using by woman so there is no things like custom recovery, root or usb debbuging turned on and it has stock firmware. Normally I will factory reset this phone but she said that she don't want to lose anything, specially photos, videos etc. I tried to unlock this pattern by programs like dr.fone or backup data by Kies but none of these are seeing this phone :crying:
So is there any possibility for cracking this phone without losing any data?

then wiping everything is the only choice i guess
You can backup files from recovery mode (should be able to do it in stock recovery) I think (maybe copy to PC). Then make a factory reset.
Recovery Mode - Vol+, Home and Power buttons
Download Mode - Vol- , Home and Power buttons
And 2nd option. If you can, go to Download Mode and flash her TWRP! Make Nandroid backup there and then make factory reset. Flash TWRP via Odin of course.
But you must read how to enable USB Debugging if it is needed, I forgot how to

Bought a "new" s10+, and started downloading apps into the phone. But at some point, when I press the Settings App to get into settings, it just stays grayed out. After a few restarts, I discovered none of my other apps are working either. I can't make phone calls even if the sim card is inserted [it was working prior], any app I press stays greyed out. No error message pops up when the Setting or other app stays grayed out, just frozen.*
Is it normal for a "new" s10+ to have 100gb filled for apps storage from the get go? I have the 128 gb version from Canada.
I've tried the volume up + bixby+ power up to reset but I don't see the android screen, it only gives me a boot type: recovery, normal, fast, and no other options. I tried booting up into recovery mode but all I saw was the android mascot on it's side with a "!" picture.*
Have I bricked my phone by downloading apps from the Google apps store and perhaps filling up the internal phone memory? Please help.
tldr: I can't hard reset, I can't get into settings app. Help Please.
If you cant hard reset than try boot into recovery and there make factory reset or first try delete cache and check if it work than ok

Are you sure its a genuine Samsung Galaxy S10+ and not a knockoff? Download an app like Phone Info for more info about the device. Samsung devices donn`t have a recovery or fast boot option in the power menu.

From the PhoneInfo app:
Name samsung SMg975w
manufacturer: samsung
I have 48% available ram when I turn on the phone. Battery 100% charged
Internal storage available is 6.87 gb.
OS: lollipop 9.0
root access: true
Funny how I can download apps from the Play Store but I can't get into Settings App.
Hard to discern whether it's a knockoff: the turning on samsung screen seems correct. Doesn't help when it's my first samsung phone. [Prior experience with android is my Sony Z2, and that still works fine today!]

Root means that you have administrative rights and you can change any system setting on your phone and in theory flash custom software. Samsung phones don`t come with root access and besides Europe root access voids the device warranty.

I`am afraid that it will be very hard if not impossible to get root, you need a compatible custom recovery and these kind of phones will not be supported. Maybe searching on Google will lead to something but the chances are very slim.
