[Q] Not able to turn off reactivation lock

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?

Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock problem but it is turned off

Hi Everyone
I went to update my rom today but even after checking that the "Settings/Security/Reactivation Lock" was unchecked I get the dreaded "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock" message. That's not the problem cos I read how to get my phone back to normal.
How am I going to get to recovery to update the rom? The only thing that I wonder maybe causing a problem is the Avast app? I have checked the Find My Mobile site and cannot see anything there that's the cause.
Any of you geniuses have an idea how I can boot into recovery now?
Cheers

Custom binary blocked by frp lock

need urgent help really.
my phone has been rooted and has twrp installed for months now with no issues, all of a sudden my phone rebooted to the samsung logo screen with the mentioned error message. i have no idea how and why this error has occured but my phone wont boot to system. i really dont want flash stock firmware as i havent backed things up, is there a way to fix this issue with out doing a full wipe?

you might have accidentally disable oem unlock. so phone is bricked , and you need to flash stock firmware with odin , no other choices . and as you know knox counter will stay 0x1 , root or no root, once you break knox its permanent as knox is hardware, once you root it break an electronic fuse so once you flash stock firmware I really suggest you to install custom rom and twrp again as many things will be blocked if you stay on stock firmware as your device will stay marked as " rooted "

Yeah I had to do firmware install in the end. It's just crazy though. I very rarely go into dev options, I had noto kernel installed and everything on stock aqh3, rooted with magisk and everything worked great, so annoying as this happened at 3am and I have slow internet connection and took me 2 hours to download the 3.5gb firmware file. Urgh o was on the verge of installing a custom rom too, ah well good job I had a lot of stuff saved in Samsung cloud.

yes hopefully cloud is our new god ^^ yes its annoying I agree but its also a great feeling to begin with a clean phone like new after a reset , and I have also a crappy download speed so yes its a pain to download 4gb , and even better when its corrupted and need to download agin good luck with your device

I got the "FRP lock" on my Samsung S8 (Exynos) and tried to flash Stock Oreo but Odin fails and the device shows "KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3 BINARY:2".
This stock Samsung Rom worked earlier today so it should be the right Rom for my phone.
Also tried to flash TWRP recovery via AP in Odin which failed with "RFP lock" message showing on the device..
I tried to add a snapshot here but couldn't.
Anyone please, I'm helpless..

Your issue is trying to flash older firmware than what is on your phone. You will need to download firmware with bootloader ver. 3 or higher ( bl ver no. is 5th number from right of firmware name )
Flashing twrp failed because of locked bootloader.

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
