Hello,
i just got my note 4 yesterday and i have rooted the device using chainfire. when i try to turn on the Reactivation Lock, the checkbox does not checked
any help would be appreciated
If you have flash custom recovery Reactivation Lock not work!
i have flashed custom kernel which is cf auto root. i still have stock recovery but getting "dm-verity verification failed...."
EDIT: after reboot. i can enable reactivation lock. really strange.
I also had rooted my device and knox was not working anymore...
I updated with Samsung kies on my computer (to latest firmware)and now it's working again and stock again.
I wait for android 5.0 because i rooted for my sd card and es explorer.
And annoying advertise

Personally I wouldn't enable reactivation lock as I think it would make it much harder to recover your phone should it get bricked (you can't flash in ODIN mode until it is disabled afaik).
Also, if you install a custom recovery, reactivation lock is useless, as the recovery can be used to bypass it.
I'm gone all week every week driving and have so much to do when I get in I don't have much time to follow all of the advancements. I am rooted with OD5 bootloader. Running MOAR 6.62 / 5.0 with OG5 firmware. I like the customization abilities of MOAR but it's not essential. Native tethering for the laptop on the road is critical (unlimited data). I am on the original safestrap (3.75)? I use the NI2 flasher and I'm comfortable with odin. I already use SU pro version. Is there a down and dirty way I can go up to 6.0 without having to learn new methods/apps to do so? Or what's the easiest way with my setup to achieve this?
I apologize for asking a question that has doubtless been asked a number of times. I just am so pressed for free time.
Thanx in Advance and don't scorch me too harshly with flaming !!

Is your bootloader unlocked ?
I
Check by booting into download mode and looking for developer mode if you see it flash twrp in Odin
If not go to getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on XDA under s5 Verizon section then
If it is Then boot into recovery and flash mm rom
I flash in this order
Do a Backup in twrp to external SD card or USB otg drive
Do a full wipe except USB storage and external SD card
Then flash mm kernel
Then flash mm modem
Then flash ROM
Then reboot
If it bootloops then flash cm13 as a base then flash your ROM again in twrp
If it doesnt bootloop you are good
If you have problems try a different ROM
No it's not a dev edition
It doesn't have to be what it does have to be to get bootloader unlock is a Samsung 15 emmc you can check this by downloading the emmc brick Bug app on Google Play
if it is a 15 Samsung emmc then you can bootloader unlock from getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on xda
once you get bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP using odin
from there you can install a custom marshmallow ROM in twrp
This is the fastest and easiest way
I'm sorry I should've stated it's an 11
You can't have root on mm rom with a locked bootloader so sorry man
You can be rooted on highest lollipop firmware pb1 that is it
SORRY ABOUT MY BAD ENGLISH
I am writing this tread because i recently unlocked the frp lock on my bricked ROOTED samsung galaxy note 5 (SM-N920C). I faced problem in flashing stock firmware as my phone lost drk. And hence i do research and it took about a month to find a solution. I am sharing it here.
Tools i used.
1. Samsung tool pro( cracked version)
2. SM-N920C Combination file:
http://shell.boxwares.com/default.aspx?DeviceModel=SM-N920C&Type=All#fh5co-table
Because i am on nougat firmware the Samsung tool pro doesn't work and at the same time i am not able to down grade the firmware due to frp lock.
3. TWRP RECOVERY
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote5.html
PROCEDURE:
1. Flash the combination file in download mode. And wait for the phone to boot. In my case the phone doesn't boot.
Then go to download mode agian and remove frp lock with samsung tool.
2. Flash TWRP.
3. Flash any custome rom from TWRP. :good:
simply go to download mode and flash official firmware
after phone starts go to settings>>developer mode>>enable oem unlock toggle
that's all no frp lock anymore. i wonder why it took you 1 month to figure this out.

Actually, when the phone is under the frp lock. Flashing stock firmware under odin will not work. At least it happened to my n920g. I used the emergency restore through the samsung smart switch app.

but i could easily go to download mode even with frp lock on. only i could not restart my phone and not enter twrp. but download mode worked fine forme
Since i lost Drk i can't able to boot after repair with smart switch. And thats why i tried this method.

We can't able to flash custom recovery in this case. The phone will not allow it.

If there is no drk in the phone it won't boot. I lost drk and not able to flash the stock rom.

Yes its possible but in my case the oem unlock git disabled i dont know how its happened. After that i can't do anything other than the above procedures to make the device working.
Could you change the destination of SM-N920C Combination file, because I can`t download it from your link. Thank you.
Try to rename firmware .tar.md5 to .tar (remove.md5).and flash it via odin .it work

Flashing firmwares will not undo FRP. No matter how many you flash. Solving the FRP problem lies elsewhere. And to another comment some FRp locked sammys will flash in odin under lock,Others will not. FRP lock is contained in a Partition in the device that is not touched by odin. If flashing orig stock firmware does not boot due to DRK problem then that has to be addressed first. I have not had a Note 5 in a while but This much I do know.

hello
is it possible to flash a custom rom via odin?
the reason i say this is for some reason now i cannot enable oem unlock in developer settings, keeps showing a device protection function and even when i click enable the slider switches on for a second then goes back. i have tried many stock roms using the latest versions from samsung.
so i am wondering if i can bypass the having to enable the oem unlock to flash twrp recovery then the custom rom and just flash custom rom straight from odin.

In simple terms, you can't flash anything thats not officially by samsung through odin or anything else if you don't have OEM Unlock enabled (or can't enable it due to any reason) ..
Plus as I know.. even if oem unlock is enabled.. odin can only flash official stock roms..
For flashing any custom rom you need to use twrp..
But twrp can be flashed through odin.
If i understand correctly i need to flash a stock recovery, then twrp then whatever... but im having a problem flashing a stock recovery. Ive tired 3 different versions of Odin. I successfully flashed the official rom in Odin but afterwards the phone was not being detected by Windows.. also in developer options there is no option to OEM unlock.any help would be appreciated. Android version 5.0.2. Secureboort is enabled and reactivation lock is on.

Reactivation Lock prevents anything custom from being flashed. Need to turn that off
