I recently updated my phone using Odin and SamFirm firmware.. after the update has been done the phone is now requesting a password of some kind, I suspect it's the "security password" thing but I have never touched it and thus have no idea what the password would be ..
Are there any way to get into the phone now without factory resetting it ?
Nevermind! Found the respons by searching for it abit!

Guys im about to freak out, I just got a phone en ebay that is locked, i knew that it was locked but I was not expecting this type of lock that I needed the original samsung account to unlock it, even after factory reset!!!
I have tried different options with odin but not of them worked, I also saw some videos in youtube to bypass this screen but they do not work know because if I press the button of "forgot your ID or password" it says that I need to go to account.samsung.com.
I cannot access to the phone to see what version of android is this...
Please there has to be a way!!!
many thanks
Nobody????
ok guys iI may have an answer, I need to downgrade to 4.4 from G900VVZW2BOK3_VZW, how can I do this??? somebody please help!!!!
There is no downgrading from ok3
So you tried getting the stock OK3 firmware (didn't know this existed, we have OG5) and flashing with ODIN in Download mode?
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Samsung GALAXY S5/769o/VZW/G900VVRU2BOK3/G900VVZW2BOK3/
As ldevereaux said, as of OE1 Verizon has made the phone non-rootable (and thus no custom recoveries) and non-downgradable, so you will need to keep working on the current version your phone has on it.
Guys, I was able to open chrome in the phone so I can access nearly anything on the phone but is still locked, I go to uncheck the reactivation lock but when I do that it activates again by it self... how can I do this permanently! i can install any app, go anywhere on the phone, but it still locked!!! If i shut it down i wont be able to access again.
Sounds like you'll need to contact the seller to get the password.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52467489&postcount=5
do you guys think he could put it into download mode and flash the stock stuff so he could atleast get the passcode off of the phone?
the seller doesn't have the password either
That sounds fishy to me. They have to use the Samsung software to remotely lock the bootloader, which requires them accessing their Kies account that they created. Hate to say it, but I think you bought a stolen phone.
well yeah it seems it is stolen, i got it in ebay and the seller said he got it locked from another person..... I wasn't expecting this kind of lock.. never had a samsung before...nothing I can do... i will keep trying I already spent my money on this...
try flashing the original stock firmware and everything from odin and it should be just like a factory reset and itll get the passcode off
Already did that.. was the same... keeps requesting the stupid passcode
Hello guys, i want to remove my samsung account from my device G900F but when i go to Settings/Accounts/Samsung account click on my account and select Remove account, after i enter my password it says processing failed, if i enter the wrong password it says wrong password.
I cannot sell my phone due to this problem. I know my account password is 100% correct because i can sign in to my account no problem.
Also i cannot disable reactivation lock because everytime i click it and enter my password it stays Enabled every time.
Any help would be really useful thanks!
UPDATE: I solved all my problems by flashing kitkat 4.4.2 firmware. Logged in to my account succesfully and disabled reactivation lock and then removed my account completely from the phone.

Man finding this short thread was pure luck. I've went through virtually every solution out there with no success, Samsung has plugged EVERY damn hole in that 6.0.1 Version (Germany, DBT) and yesterday I discovered that the S5 can be downgraded without any hiccups (not the usual thing, is it) and then I was gonna re-try all these crazy loopholes (calling ER number and jumping to settings via SMS, links, Chrome, etc) but while searching came across this and thought thats about the dumbest thing there is and that will for sure NEVER work, but alas, it did.
Bypass Samsung Reactivation Lock in two steps:
1.) Download first iteration of the S5 Firmware for your variant (Android 4.4.2 from early 2014)
2.) Reboot, login, done.
This applies to devices with existing Samsung ID and Passwort and the error "Processing failed" when logging in.
I doubt this works when you don't have a password, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did just get a new password online (account.samsung.com) and then try again with that???

I'm glad you solved this problem mate, i remember it driving me crazy!
It's not a password problem if it was it would say invalid ID or password. It goes through the process of signing in then it says Process failed.
findmymobile.samsung.com is able to RING MY DEVICE but I an unable to get past "This phone has been locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that was previously used on this phone. Is there any hope for this phone? Knox is tripped because the phone had previously been rooted.
problem solved
I Odin to 5.0.1-N910VVRU2BPA1 and was able to sign in to remove the Reactivation lock then I upgraded to 6.0.1-N910VVRU2CQF2.
The ROMs I use came from SamMobile

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.
Is this working on SM-G930XXX ??? thank you
Will this resolve the FRP lock on a SM-G930F?

this works now my problem is how to unlock sim puk
But what is the point? If you have your Google account info, FRP isn't a problem anyway!

I am trying to unlock an old S7; I have my google credentials (fully working) and a new phone that shows the google notification, but the FRP process on the S7 simply starts over and over

Hi, I'm in the same situation but I try to hard reset from recovery first: do I have some chances to see my data again?
Is a Factory Reset Protection Lock, in the end, isn't it?
I found the same firmware than before, do I find there home_CSC?
Thanks

if u wont find a csc file, just flash the firmware. it shouldnt touch ur data partition.
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
####Edit ### Thanks for all the replies, I got it working with remote frp unlock through flexihub. Cheers anyway

Check where it says ## edit ### the problem was solved by using a paid frp unlock service
I recently got this Samsung t580, however it had been factory reset and the owner did not remember their login to disable frp. I found a few other threads here saying that if you downgrade it to android 6 (PL4 rom) it would work. after downgrading with Odin and it seeming to work, it now just says "To start up your device, enter your password". What is going on? how can i bypass this, as I don't know any password it might be asking for? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I factory reset it again, it is fine now
