Hi!
For some strange reason, after flashing a rom, I can't turn off the reactivation lock of my phone. I uncheck it, but when I enter download or recovery mode, it is still turned on..
Anyone faced something like that? Any suggestion would be fine.
Thanks and regards!

me too.I have the same problems as you did. Reactivation lock on. always boot loop. HOW to lock off
I had a similar issue. I can't remember exactly how I got there, but I had the boot loops and wasn't able to flash anything via Odin/twrp. The way I solved it was by flashing a stock rom through Odin (equivalent to my build number not a newer one as that wouldn't flash either)

Hey i had the same problem and solved it. I have tried many things like reflashing recovery and afther that reflashing root and those went failed.
-->I was unable to do factory default.
-->reactivation lock was unchecked but was strangly still active
-->I also tried reflashing the stock firmware from
HTML:
www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
and strangly enough this one completed 100% and it solved my problem with reactivation lock.
so the only way to solve this issues is to flash the stock rom ?
Me too with lollipop
Hi I'm ressurecting this subject because I just have the problem and i'm not able to install another recovery or root my device. Even installing a stock rom fom Sammobile doesn't solve the problem :crying:
Every time i uncheck lock reactivation button it steels activate
I'm using lollipop BNL9 stock rom
Thanks for help

This exact thing is happening to my galaxy s5 running lollipop firmware. I cannot unchecked the reactivation lock in security, even with the correct password. I can't flash custom recovery or root cause reactivation lock always enables Odin to fail! Did you find any solutions?
At last

Yes at last I called Samsung support to get help and and athe solution may be problematic for some people. In fact you need to suppress your Samsung Service account at http://account.samsung.com :crying: , after that reboot your phone and that's it. You can now check in download mode that reactivation lock is now :fingers-crossed: . When you do that you will loss all apps you buy through Galaxy Apps and nedd to eventually recreate a new account,if needed.

Thanks for your help! I didn't read this until after I tried another solution. I flashed stock 4.4.2 and I could uncheck without any hassle. It seems Lollipop was the problem.
Hey.
Having the same problem here. What do you mean with "suppress your Samsung Service account"? Delete the account?

by "suppressing" the account, do you mean deleting the samsung account? because i dont see any other option there.
i dont want to lose my data and apps, so a factory reset is out of option.
Infortunately yes. You must delete your Samsung account

Thanks buddy.. Just one more question.. deleting the account wont affect anything else than the paid galaxy apps.. right? i mean, will it interfere with other phone functionalities or not?
Edit: I just deleted my samsung account online and restarted my phone. Still unable to uncheck the reactivation lock. any ideas?
Edit: I had to factory reset my phone from the stock recovery. When it booted it asked for samsung account password, I clicked on forgot password, created a new password from my laptop and used that to login to the samsung account. After that I was unable to uncheck the reactivation lock. Downside is that I had to lose my data, I could get my apps back from the google account.
I think the account is not deleted because I had exactly the same symptoms before deleting my account.
Did you follow my link on the previous messages?
After toying around with XtreStoLite, I've gone back to stock firmware.
Having stupidly checked "reactivation lock" at some point, I am now unable to uncheck it even tough I'm using THE SAME ACCOUNT that locked the phone in the first place.
Going to settings->security->reactivation lock will trigger a password prompt, which I complete successfully, but after returning from it "reactivation lock" remains checked!
Any ideas? getting desperate here...
(And yes, I've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/help-soft-bricked-note-3-t2848679)
Downgrade to a stock KitKat ROM, log in with accounts, uncheck reactivation lock
Generally works for most

Thanks Detection!
This worked.
A few notes for anyone who might land here with a similar problem.
1. I've found it easiest to flash stock firmware via Odin, stock firmware will flash successfully even with the reactivation lock on.
2. Be sure to do a factory reset + cache wipe via recovery after each firmware update.
Nice job

I done almost the same thing but when i rebooted after flashing this rom i had this trouble & it deleted my custom recovery because i had the activation lock enabled! & i was even more surprised that i couldnt hardly find a stock firmware to flash back on so i could fix? after 10hrs of pulling my hair out i finally unbricked this morning but only to find out that i was now on Kitkat again. This thread is where i found a quickier download for the kitkat firmware - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715487
Hope this helps anyone else who has this problem

I used that. But I can not use Emergency Recovery because I don't have a recovery code. And my phone don't coming in the list below.
I used Software Update and Restart but the same problem.
So, recently I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (sm-g530r4). I used ODIN and everything went just fine. I successfully rooted it and I was happy. I went to the Play Store and signed in with Google and downloaded some apps. After that, I turned the phone off and when I went to turn it back on, it doesn't boot. It says "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP". I tried to flash CF-Auto-Root again, but I won't let me. What do I need to do to fix this?

You must remove your google account to remove the FRP Lock.

OK, but how do I do that if I can't boot the phone? Whenever I turn it on, it shows the "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP" screen and shuts off when I press a button.

Reflash stock Boot & recovery images. You will lose root but you'll be able to boot.

Thanks! I reflashed with the stock rom and go it to boot. I rooted it again, but this time I made sure to OEM UNLOCK. I forgot to do that the first time, so when I logged into my Google account, it FRP locked me out.

Lucky you, when I enable oem unlock my FRP is still locked x)
Hi. My cousin asked me to root his SM-G531F and flash custom ROM to it. So, I come to him and tired to flash TWRP, just like I did on my SM-G350. But there's a problem - flashing fails, and there's a message "Custom image (recovery) blocked by FRP lock" or something like that. We rebooted (by taking battery of) phone and checked "OEM unlock" in dev settings. Tired to flash again - same message. IDK what more can we do. I don't want to brick his phone.
Also, when I searched for "FRP lock" there were no problem like ours, but lots of devices in bootloop with this message AFTER sucessful flash of custom ROM... That make me think about this all the day. I NEVER eccountered problem like that, but I never had so new phone, only old and easy-flashable ones. Is FRP lock dangerous? Do I need to do something to not brick his phone?
I found two types of slimiar looking locks - FAP lock and FRP one. Mine is rather FRP, I think I can read. What they really are and how they differ?

FRP: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/frp/
FRP Just locks your phone if you alter the boot or recovery image and you had a google account registered. To unlock it you have to wipe data (factory reset) and reflash stock boot.img and recovery.img before using it again. If your cousin wants to flash my ROM (lineageos-13.0) he'd better not, its not stable and he will encouter random reboots and codecs bugs. The best thing to do is to remove FRP from his phone and flash Magisk (a root manager like SuperSU) and debloat it.
For more information, find the Grandprimevelte group on Telegram.
I think I'm having the exact same problem as OP, the thing is that when you flash twrp and the magisk on the phone with FRP disabled (no google account) it works just fine, but if you choose to add a google account to the device later you get a bootloop. If you try flashing with a google account logged in on the phone it doesn't let you (same as OP).
Is there any way to add a google account on the device after flashing twrp and magisk without enabling FRP lock? Thank you

Yes, you must install a boot.img without frp. Then you will be able to use a custom boot/recovery and root your phone without problem.
