I Need Help: Need to Bypass Samsung Activation Lock

Hello. I bought a S5 from Ebay for Boost Mobile. Problem is that it has the Samsung Activation Lock still on. Ive done the searches all over the net and have come across URL="/watch?v=EaN13PiQbe0 ====Video"]/watch?v=EaN13PiQbe0 ====Video. I understand most of it but I can't find a workaround for the "findmymobile.samsung.com" part. Is there a way to do it on a S5. Don't Chastise Me. Im Not Nixon. I am not a crook. I paid for a phone with a clean ESN(I checked) and dont want to be stuck with a paperweight. Thanks in advance.

Searching for the S5 tutorial would have been better than the S6 ones lol

And flashing a KitKat ROM from sammobile first with ODIN works if you know the samsung account (If you locked yourself out of your own phone) for future reference

Sorry

Need help w/ Samsung G900V Galaxy S5 *bootloader/rooting*

I've been a HTC phone person for a while and thinking of switching to a S5 my only problem is I hear the bootloader is locked on VZW Phones?
Now see I'm buying a NEW unlocked G900V Samsung S5 off ebay and gonna trim my sim from my current phone to fit in it, but before I do this I want to unlock the bootloader and then root.
I dont have the phone yet, but its sold as brand new, and I dont have the model, cid, android version, any sort of info until I have the device in my hands.
I watched a few videos saying its easy to unlock the bootloader and root and most people are using touch philz bootloader, and I've read a lot on there saying there is not bootloader access on this device and only a safestrap recovery option
someone said to use geohots towelroot but then someone said he works for google now and its not supported anymore after june 2014 or some ****?
also I seen this video showing me a pretty quick method to unlock the bootloader/root
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKrFxuA5apg
but noticed the video and site was posted before june so Idk if that method still works or not?
any one in this thread know whats the best method to go for and what to do on what works and what I can do with this device or not?
EDIT: found this saying the bootload has been unlocked http://www.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5-bootloader-has-been-unlocked/ but still cant find any info on how to do this been searching for 2 hours but also on 2 hours of sleep so idk any help would be obliged

You'll need to find out the CID of the device
Ask the seller to check for you.
If it starts with 11 then you cannot unlock the bootloader. If it starts with 15 then you can unlock it.

Ok I'll try and ask but how do you even find out the CID of the device in case they ask, because I am pretty tech savvy and I don't even know. Samsung phones and CID numbers are all new to me.
I think I read someone where that the CID number changes if u use root on a post somewhere am I wrong ?
anyways if its not a 15 the phones pretty much worthless?

Bump: I asked the sellers to look for me and they always tell me they can not download any apps to the phone...Where do we find this in the settings without downloading anything how can I tell if it's a genuine Samsung chip quickly and easy or not

AFAIK I think the only way is to use an app like EMMC Brickbug or to pull it via adb. There isn't a way to tell otherwise.

Removing Google FRP lock on Sprint Galaxy S7 - SM-G30PVPS5BRA1 ?

Hello Guys!,
Boy oh boy well to make this short and sweet and to the point. I am basically a newbie when it comes to flashing and loading custom ROM's on phones, but been in the IT world for some 22 yrs, and know my way around computer systems, and networks, but with so many different people's posts, tricks, and fake procedures, I just need to know from a Senior member if at this point with the firmware I currently have, or reverting somehow to an earlier version to successfully remove the FRP from one of my Samsung collection? Just cutting to the chase, Your site as awesome and I have learned alot and been successful at fixing up my old Samsung S3 to a custom ROM by Team OctOS with the kind help of madbat99. An S3 running 7.1.2 and rooted with that custom ROM, Wow! what a difference. I think I have an S6 or 7 in my hands!..lol.
But Anyone with some valid information on this tried and true fix so I can work on getting this S7 by that FRP lock and rooted and loaded with something custom I surely would appreciate it, Thanks a million in advance! And i will attach some screenshots so you know what I'm dealing with.
Have a Great Memorial Weekend!!
ps, sorry screenshots i cannot attach i don't have them uploaded anywhere, but here is basically what I have:
Sprint S7 - SM-G930P
7.0/NRD90M/G930PVPS5BRA1
AP SWREV: B5 (2.1.1.1.1) K1 S4

Same here!!

So I've the same phone, firmware, and issue as yours my friend. I can't give a solution unfortunately, as I've been attempting to side step FRP on my girlfriends G930P with the BRA1 firmware as well. From what Ive read downgrading is our best bet, but I've no idea how to do so with this particular firmware. Most of my attempts have ended with bootloops or bricks.
Best of luck to ya, I'll be subbing your thread.

I first want to say this was not done for illegal purposes whatsoever nor do I agree with that crap. With that being said my mother forgot her password and username and didn't realize the importance paying attention to her back up password or username to recover her first one. Anyway the model is SM-G930P what the bootloader level 6 from the update that just recently occurred. BRD2 I believe. Anyway, I have to go to work soon but I just was able to bypass it and get her back into her phone very quickly and easily and I didn't know of anyone had post it on here yet so I wanted to do it quickly I can give him better tutorial after work.
How to do it:
Put your S7 in download mode with power home button and volume down. Google Flash Galaxy S7 SM-G930P s boot file. It will send you to a sm-g930f file don't worry it still works and is the one I used. So download that file its S7 g930f_king$ that's what shows up on my computer after I download it. Anyway open up Odin 3.12 Princecosmy and Flash that as boot file or image file under your bootloader or BL section of Odin and let it do anything quickly and it will pass and reboot. And when it boots back up to your surprise I'm sure because it was mine also it was able to connect and find ADB so I was able to run my GSM flasher FRP reactivation lock remover Pro and as long as you're Samsung drivers are installed it will pick it up on its port number. Click on the bypass FRP tab which is the one on the right of the two go down and click bypass FRP and boom you're done. So in conclusion get to export file from Kingsfirmware.com and search flash galaxy s7 sm-g930p and it will take you to sm-g930f flash. Download the sboot file s7 g930f_king$. Flash it via Odin under BL tab. Let it pass and reboot the run GSM Flasher YEP Reactivation Lock Remover Pro and under the Bypass FRP tab click Bypass FRP towards bottom and kick back!! Boom done.

This will also root your phone

it's my pleasure to help you, i can fix this problem if you still have it

Samsung Galaxy S8 G950U - FRP locked

Hi. I purchased a preowned Samsung Galaxy S8 and I am not able to get it running. The phone has factory reset protection and it asks me for owners google account. The seller does not want to provide me with that info because of privacy issues. He said that he deactivated that option through google account, but it did not help. I've tried all the methods that I found on YouTube and through google but none of them seem to work. - the "two finger" method turns on voice assistance but does not enter Tapatalk menu
- the setting method does not work wither because I do not have the "help & feedback" menu
- others like installing SideSync on PC and connecting phone through usb, nor any other that I found online did work
I also tried to call Samsung support but they are asking $70 for unlocking and I would need a proof of purchase with IMEI address, but the seller did not include IMEI, anyways its to expensive.
I went to some phone repair stores but they were asking from proof of purchase from Samsung authorized store, they did not accept eBay...
It's an unlocked T-Mobile version Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950U running android 8.0.0.
This is whats the Android Recovery menu showing - 8.0.0/R16NW/G950USQU5CRK1
Is there any new/working way to unlock this brick?

When i bought mine and factory reset it this happend to me also. It is fixable tough I followed these steps but from another video that i can't find atm , hope it works for you

have the previous owner call google. they can track the IMEI and verify the previous owners credentials allowing them to release the FRP lock and making you the full complete owner now

i know this post has already been quoted and therefore what was posted is still there, but have you been able to get past this FRP issue as of yet?

discussing FRP unlock methods outside of googles prescribed methods are against XDA rules. Please refrain from discussing things of that nature.
