So I upgraded my G900V to Marshmallow and then did a factory reset after I verified it worked because I wanted to start fresh, but now the setup screen says "abnormal factory reset" and is asking for my Samsung Account credentials. When I try to sign in it says "processing failed" every time and won't go past the page...
What I have tried (all have failed):
1. resetting my Samsung Account password (twice now...)
2. a second factory reset
3. using find my mobile to unlock it
4. flashing the stock kitkat firmware (fail with odin)
5. flashing a custom recovery (fail with odin)
6. using the OTG cable method (nothing displays on the screen...)
7. using the sidesync method (nothing displays on the screen...)
8. Called Samsung Support 3 times:
-regular support # - told to call the accounts # during business hours
- accounts # - told that they would have it remotely unlocked by the next morning (of course they don't follow through)
-accounts # - given the runaround treatment for 1.5 hours until a supervisor in the returns department tells me there is nothing more they can do and don't have the capability to service it (apparently it's still under warranty even (not that it matters.....))
So does anyone know a work around? I would really like to get my phone functional again.
The phone is not stolen! If anyone wants proof I am happy to supply multiple clear photos of the phone itself and the imei number, which is clean.
I managed to bypassed it, created samsung account, phone works but i can`t set custom recovery, samsung support doesn`t help either. I have g900p.

Unfortunately mine doesn't have any option close to that. Lucky for me though I think Samsung came around, I tried submitting a repair request for a second time and this time I was approved and it will be covered under warranty.

I'm able to use the downgrade/OTG method to get access to the phone, but then I am in a situation where I can't turn off the Reactivation Lock, it just stays stuck on. What were the ADB commands that you used to turn it off? Thanks for your help.

I can`t turn it off. I even managed to create samsung account but after I enter password nothing happens
UPDATE:
so Samsung not only fixed the problem, but they also restored the phone to like new condition (it was in very beat up but no cracks condition previously) so I really have to give props to them for their amazing repair team. It took about a week total if anyone is wondering.
I have a new method to remove reactivation lock it is confirmed working. It works on Samsung eMMC and Toshiba eMMC.

I recently Hard Reset my Samsung Galaxy Tab A6, SM-T285 through recovery. After booting i cannot sign in to my primary google account because it says "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device". I tried all of my google account
nothing works.
1. Tried Odin Twice with two different version of Firmware
After enabling FRP Lock on Odin, Flashing stuck at "Sending Lock information" and fails
2.Tried Kies3 recovery process
3.Tried to install TWRP using Odin
FRP Lock is still there and i cannot use my phone
Please help me
If the firmware isn't installing it's the wrong one.
You need to go into developer settings and enable OEM UNLOCK.

I would ensure you are using the correct account. My guess is its not.
The Google account will be associated with your device. If it's the correct account then you should be fine.
If you've installed the wrong firmware then Google may see your device as different.
I would sign into your account you think was used on the device via the web then go to Device activity & notifications and ensure your device is listed.
https://accounts.google.com/login
I can see two Devices
1.Samsung Galaxy Tab A6
2.Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE
Mine is Galaxy Tab A6, SM-T285, Recovery email address is correct.
But when i try to login that account on my phone, google says "Sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device"

Can you reformat those links as they're just html nonsense.
Just post the links.
Also you haven't stated what your issue is?
I put myself into a perdicament and I have been searching high and low to figure this out.
Currently I am samsung Locked out of my phone, I am getting a processing failed error even on a correct samsung account entry. I've tried everything from deleting the account to re-entering the IMEI on the account to register it on the same username and pass. Unfortunately nothing.
Next I tried to bypass the samsung lock by using Root Junky's Method. I couldn't follow it all the way because my phone didn't have one crucial step ( to scan business card button) So I basically got around it by getting into google play and downloading a file explorer and continuing the process. I then downloaded SideSync and sololauncher to have some sort of homepage.
With all that I'm still not able to enter the samsung account info. when you try to add another account it just backs out instantly, and if you try to enter the information on an app that makes you log in, it just immediately closes the app.
Sooo, I've been reading the next possible solution is to get the phone on Kit Kat but I'm honestly having the hardest time doing so.
I dropped the phone down to lollipop and tried rooting but I got stuck on the phone not getting usb debugging dialog to pop up, even though It pops up for my samsung s3 so I know it's not the cord or my computer. This is where I'm stuck at. I have no clue how to drop the phone back down to Kit kat and would love someone to help me out or to just give me a nudge in the right direction.
Currently on pd1 stock samsung s5 vzw.
Thank you guys in advanced!

Thank you for the threads! The bottom one "reactivation lock" one is actually the one I started on, but for some reason, my phone will not for hte life of me bring up the debugging dialog, if i can get the debugging dialog to pop up then everything will be perfect and I can root and continue on from there.. but for some reason the galaxy s5, will not pop up that message, I've flashed ok3, pb1, pd1, and pd4 or whatever the latest one is. Hilariously pd4 actually popped up the debugging dialog to accept permission to my computer.... something that I can't do anything about or do anything with that since you cannot root on pd4. I have a galaxy s3 and that pops up debugging dialog instantly so I know it's neither my cord or my computer. All drivers, programs and adb are installed on my computer.
Those two forum threads are perfect if I can just get debugging to pop up.. it's like once I get the bypass to work for ok3 or pb1, none of the status bar things work, some pop ups work and I think that it is popping up but it's blocking it or something seeing how I'm just by passed through it and not actually done with the setup wizard.
Just need to get my phone authorized instead of unauthorized. the RSA KEY debugging pop up wont pop up at all. I'm not sure if it's because samsung lock basically shuts down part of the phone to be functional and wont let it pop up? I just can't figure it out.
I've been trying to figure this out but so far a no go
To make my guide 100% working I will try again tonight I think

Heya Yeah, I have already done almost all of rootjunky's methods. Got into a a webbrowser and accessed google play, also downloaded that frp work around but i think it's for the google reactivation lock not samsungs reactivation lock. I reboot and it goes right back into the same thing. the frp bypass just makes it so you can reenter your google account info if you are google locked. :/
Device is a SM-N916S from Samsung (Galaxy Note 4 S-LTE Exynos 5433 ver.) for anyone that's wondering. It's current state : Completely stock with no root. USB debugging disabled. No Samsung Account linked to device. Can't change password through ADM. No more guesses left for the password anymore, any more will reset the phone.
So yeah. For the past few days I've been trying to bypass Android Device Manager's remote "Lock" feature that's meant to keep your data safe from thieves. As for why? Long story short : I tried to pull a prank on my brother by remotely locking his device through ADM. I have since forgotten the password (it was a random combination of letters and numbers that I thought I could remember, but obviously not.) and trying to set a new password through Android Device Manager just gives me the infamous "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." error message.
Now, if this was a phone that belonged to me, I would just install a custom recovery and remove the password with a password disable zip, but unfortunately, that is not an option here. I probably forgot to mention that I CANNOT void the warranty (as in trip the KNOX counter) under ANY circumstances and would very much like to avoid a factory reset. Am I out of luck here? Or is anyone here aware of a method that can be used to bypass the ADM lock / or a way to backup data with usb debugging disabled. Thanks.

Hi, could you explain what you mean by this? Does smart switch work even when the phone is locked? And what would going back to stock firmware do? Thanks.
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?

But when we boot phone for the first time it's force us to create samsung account or we can skip that step? Because she said that she didn't mention of creating samsung account. Even tried to search her ID through email but can't find anything.

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

HEY HEY HEY.
Chill, boyes. Leave reset alone.
You can go to Google Find My Device and change something from there.
***DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK***
***IF YOU MESS SOMETHING UP DO NOT BLAME ME***
***I AM SHARING A METHOD THAT WORKED FOR ME, MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU***
***READ EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING***
***I ONLY TESTED THIS ON THE S7 (FLAT) - G930FD***
If you are like me (an amateur) and forgot to OEM Unlock (in Developer Options) and flashed a custom rom, and now stuck on FRP lock and cant boot your phone, this guide may be for you.
You probably tried flashing the original firmware with ODIN and it keeps failing.
After spending a lot of time trying to revive my S7 with different original firmwares, I realized that the device wouldn't take anything older than the firmware on which it got locked.
It also failed when I tried to flash the whole firmware at once. So I had to flash it in pieces - The order below worked for me, not sure if it will work for everyone else.
Here is how I finally got it to boot after being stuck on FRP lock:
I Used the most recent Firmware, location (CSC) didn't seem to matter. - All you're trying to do here is to get it to boot.
You can try using the one I used, I uploaded it in pieces to Dropbox:
BL - https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wwu8wn54...3_QB19588892_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5?dl=0
AP - https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8vgdyfb1...9588892_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5?dl=0
CP - https://www.dropbox.com/s/dldh07gjxe5e607/CP_G930FXXU3ERHC_CL878338_QB10643129_SIGNED.tar.md5?dl=0
CSC - https://www.dropbox.com/s/1u66yrt11...1_QB19668317_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5?dl=0
PIT - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yacn187sp4xok9v/HEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN45M.pit?dl=0
Odin - https://www.dropbox.com/s/sblzsuetto2qreu/Odin3_v3.13.1.zip?dl=0
USE A RELIABLE USB CABLE
1. Using ODIN, flash PIT -> Reboot
2. Flash CP -> Reboot
3. Flash BL -> Reboot
4. Flash CSC -> Reboot
5. Flash AP -> Reboot
6. Your phone should now boot and bypass FRP.
7. Once it boots, you will have to verify your Google account.
7. Once verified, go to Developer Options and switch OEM Unlock to ON
Now you should be able to flash anything you want without getting FRP lock. :victory:
I hope this method works for those stuck on FRP lock.

hello xda,
I recently purchased a S7 edge with firmware G935FXXS8ETC1 from ebay , the seller had just upgraded to an s9 and sold this s7 edge to me. Upon receiving it i turned it on and was met with the "enter pin or fingerprint " to unlock .
So i emailed the bloke straight away and he said it should have been factory reset and there was some concern about his data being still on the phone. However , as i was emailing him i could see the email notifications of the emails i was sending appearing on the screen whilst it was locked (push notifications)
Anyway he gave me four or five different pins which did not work so i did a factory reset on the device by holding volume up, home and power button and when the phone boot up i was met with the frp lock.
I was on the phone to the bloke for around an hour typing in every possible gmail account possible he could have had . i got one and it processed , asked to verify by text and entered confirmation code which the guy emailed me but the device just went back to beginning again. there is absolutely no doubt the phone is legit as the dude owns a business and was very well to do , and i could see that he did have the phone registered to the email address i was sending emails to..
The guy offered me a full refund but i really want this phone up and running and paid 100 quid for it
but im unable to do anything with frp , it just isnt taking the details hes giving me.
There is no adb enabled , no oem unlock
i have fixed , unlocked , rooted many devices via help from you guys and i do know the policy for certain files and how there are folk who misuse the site . So as a last resort i ask the ones with the knowledge for some assistance and what to do next .
As always thanks in advance , much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read my post
