Hello, I have a Galaxy S5 G900F, updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1, being using it for a year now and it seems that I had the reactivation lock on for so long, but the samsung account associated with it was deleted by me a couple months ago.
A few days ago, a friend just as a stupid prank went into recovery mode and wiped my phone, and now i can't get it to work because of the reactivation lock. I cant sign in with my account because it no longer exists and I tried taking it in for service as it is still in warranty and the Knox is 0x0 and everything but they said that it says specifically on the device that before taking the device in for service you have to disable the reactivation lock. So they said that the only way i can get it to work is pay $200 for them to replace my motherboard. And i am not going to do that.
Can you please tell me if I can do something to force bypass or install another ROM or ANYTHING at all in order to get past the lock? I would greatly appreciate it. I don't care if i flag the Knox system, i just want my phone to work. I only have a medium level knowledge of installing custom ROMS, rooting and using ODIN i've been doing it on my old samsung S3 for a long time. Can you please please give me a tutorial or something i can do doesn't matter if it takes long or if it's complicated or risky as I have nothing to lose. Thank you so much!
Flash a stock KITKAT ROM
Boot into recovery, factory reset, see if you can get back in
Or Create that Samsung account with the same email address again, if it's been deleted, it should let you create it again, log back in with that

Can someone please advise what causes this FRP lock?
Heres what happened.
I have a S6 Edge+
I bought a new S6 Edge+ dual sim
I took the sim out of my old phone and setup the new phone
After setting it all up I switched off my old phone
When I switched it back on, it came up with this error and turns itself off straight away
On the old phone I NEVER rooted or flashed any roms (custom or official)
Would enabling OEM unlock avoid this?
The phone is with Samsung now and their repairers want to charge me half the cost of the phone to replace the main PBA because they say the warranty is void!
Don't do it its a rip off I've just restored my Galaxy S6 edge plus after trying to root it with little success as the root programs aren't very stable at this point. Any ways my phone got bricked in "Custom Binary block by FRIDAY Lock" mode straight out of the box and I did some research and discovered that flashing the Original firmware via Odin restored it to perfect working order with the exception of Knox switch ed on and the Samsung pay app rendered non functional. You can download the firmware at Sammobile.com for free or faster download pay there cheapest subscription, which is what I did.
I have escalated it to the Samsung managers to try and get the fee waived.
If they wont then Ill just take the phone back and see if I can flash the right rom.
What I dont understand is why it locked in the first place.....I have never flashed any custom roms or rooted that phone.

What did you do to cause this though? Did you root or flash custom rom?
I also had this issue. I rooted my device successfully but afterwards I turned off oem unlock and rebooted my phone. This resulted in the frp lock issue. Flashing the stock firmware via odin got rid of it.

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
I factory reset my stock S5 using the recovery menu to try and fix battery drain issues after upgrading to Marshmallow, however after reset it asked me to enter my Samsung account details due to "Abnormal factory reset" to prove I was the device owner.
After entering the correct details, it then gives me the message "Processing failed" and won't continue.
My account details are definitely correct (changing the password by one character gives a different message), and I've never logged into the phone using any other Samsung account. I've had the phone since new.
Is there any way to regain entry? I can log into the Samsung portal on my computer.
Flash a stock KitKat ROM and try logging in again, if it still fails, you'll need to factory reset from recovery (Still with Kitkat) and then upgrade back to MM
Next time, disable "Reactivation lock" before resetting the phone
Would that invalidate my warranty?
No, flashing stock ROMs doesn't invalidate it, only if you flash custom (Warranty is determined in some regions by the KNOX flag, if KNOX is 0x0, warranty is valid, if it is tripped to 0x1, it is invalid) flashing stock ROMs leaves it valid with 0x0
Last ROM I had that was working was Lollipop. Should I try that, or do you still recommend KitKat?
Has to be KitKat, the exploit was patched in Lollipop, best to go for an early build, pre-June 2014, basically just choose the first one available from sammobile .com or wherever you download them from
Exploit? Will logging in directly work on KitKat then - or do I have to do some workaround?
I've told you how to do it, read some threads, that's how you fix it when you mess up by leaving reactivation lock enabled
And I really appreciate it. Thanks!
So I've searched around the past few hours and can't seem to find a solution to my issue. I have a friend that is currently down on his luck and staying at a homeless shelter, he bought this phone because phones are pretty much a necessity nowadays, samsung galaxy on5, trouble is that the phone was locked when he turned it on so he was stuck with a paperweight, it's been a long time since I tinkered with phones but I figured I could help him out by booting into recovery and doing a factory reset. I had no idea about samsung factory reset protection and now were back to paperweight mode. I downloaded jodin3 and heimdall, but it never shows as connected. Can I root the phone while in recovery or load the factory rom so I can get the phone working again? Thanks for any help.
No, the only options are either ordering a remote unlocking service or find a guide on YouTube. The YouTube way will involve some patience and trial and error. Many guides don't specify what update on the phone they are working on and/or will state that their particular method works for EVERY phone. The stock recovery will tell you what update that it is on by the build number. This might help pinpoint which method to work.
FRP = Google Factory Reset Protection
Samsung Reactivation Lock is a different beast.
Which one does the phone have?
Samsung S8-SM-G950F custom binary blocked by FRP locked, i saw so many theards about this and i read them, and i still don't know what to do, so my question is if i download firmware with "SamFirm" and then use oddin will i get my phone unlocked from that ? As i had custom rom for year and half and today i got that error for the 1st time , also if the "SamFirm" is not good for that can someone give me link for firmware for my phone as updato and all other sites download soo slow at 15 kb/s and i can't use them it will take 20hours to download that (
Similar situation, I broke my S8 screen, so never got it fixed, and was recently without a laptop, so thought id use the S8 thru Dex, it all worked no probs, however, I used to unlock bootloaders to install custom firmware and os's but didnt think id done it on my S8 as it was still under warranty, so upon looking in the developer options, i saw that OEM Unlock was on, so i switched it off, not remembering rooting the phone, now i get same error it bootloops and says custom binary frp lock. Did u ever get yours sorted? I know my google account to login 2 it if i ever get the official rom back working, but trying odin and smartswitch restore im still stuck, just keeps failing, saying frp lock. Cant even get into recovefry mode to factory reset, didnt thiunk i had TWRP installed on it, but i must have. Anyway, if anyone can pls help me pls contact me here or at dcillusionz at proton dot me. Thanks.
PS - I tried downloading from SamFW and using Odin, but FAILED. Hoping u had some luck?
