I too was breaking my head the past 2 years trying to find out why I could not root my G900F. Go to your settings and check whether "Samsung's Reactivation Lock" is selected or not. If it is selected, remove it.
To remove Samsung's Reactivation Lock, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap the Security option. If you don't see the option, you may need to select the System tab first.
3. Scroll down to Reactivation Lock, if it is selected, tap the checkbox to un-select it. If you do not see the Reactivation Lock option, it means your device is not linked to a Samsung Account, you do not need to take any further action.
4. You will be prompted to enter your Samsung Account password, to make sure you are the rightful owner of the device.
5. Enter your password, and wait for the request to be processed
6. You will now see the Reactivation Lock is disabled
After this, you can root by using Odin. Hope this helps.

So, just to check. You have installed an official firmware and tried ticking it on, reboot and then tick it off? And that didn't work?

[Q]

Hello,
I’m trying to disable reactivation checkbox to root my device, but the checkbox in settings simply will not uncheck. I click the checkbox, enter my correct passcode, it accepts the passcode, and the checkbox is still checked when I return to the security screen.
Stock everything, unrooted, untampered. I have full access to the Samsung account that’s associated with the device, the correct account name and password.
Any help would be appreciated.

Downgrade to KitKat and log into your accounts, then disable reactivation and upgrade back to LP
This method seems to work for most

I've been able to solve the issue.
I removed the Samsung account from the phone's Accounts settings and the Reactivation checkbox was automatically unchecked. I added the Samsung account afterwards and everything is fine now. Once the issue was fixed, I rooted my S 5.

Hi all, i'm new on XDA!
I want ask from experts some helps!
My phone is new, i rooted with cwm-recovery, no interested Reactivation Lock, but i rooted via Odin and was successful.
After root i can't get OTA update and i want wipe data/factory reset with CWM but said "Blocked by Reactivation Lock".
I flashed phone with Odin by official firmware and device now unrooted. but still says i can't get OTA update, while wipe data with stock recovery asks Samsung Accounts for abnormal reset, i bypassed self. After entered device is ready, i can't open Samsung Accounts page and can't Disable Reactivation lock.
There my problem and how to fix:
1) Samsung Accounts login and/or register page not opening, just returning to Accounts page when pressed Samsung Accounts. I can't add Samsung account
2) Reactivation Lock itself enabling after i unchecking it. I can't uncheck it.
3) How i can re-root this. When again rooting via Odin, fails.
Info:
Samsung Galaxy Note3 (SM-N900S SKT/Snapdragon), Android 5.0 Lollipop (Latest firmware, flashed via Odin), i'm in Uzbekistan. From Korea phone.
Please help me!
Sorry for bad english.
Thanks...

I'm not sure, but I think you can deactivate reactivation lock from your profile in any samsung webpage, I don't remember what, but you could look that way for a solution.

Can't root, reactivation lock enabled even with no Samsung Account

Hi,
I tried to root my phone using the instructions from this thread; I'm no expert, but I have rooted other phones previously, and I followed the instructions to the letter. Unfortunately, every time I get the error message "Custom binary(recovery) Blocked By R/L" on my phone.
I didn't initially know what this was, so I looked around a bit and it looks like it refers to the Samsung Reactivation Lock. Problem is, I just bought the phone today, I have no Samsung account linked to this phone, and the Reactivation Lock option under "Security" is turned off. I tried messing around with it a little, and found a few other very puzzling things. First of all, when I access the "About device" section of my phone, it says it's an SM-N910F; but when the phone is in download mode, it says "PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910P". I have no idea what to make of this.
Also, as I mentioned, when the phone is booted, the Reactivation Lock is unchecked (as it should be, since I don't have a connected Samsung account); but when the phone is in download mode, it says "REACTIVATION LOCK: On".
So I decided to try and connect my Samsung account, thinking that maybe if I did that, activated the lock and then de-activated it, it would stick. So I did the proper procedure to connect my account, I click on "Reactivation Lock" to check it, it asks me for my password, I enter it, it loads for a while and then it boots me back to the previous screen, and the "Reactivation Lock" option remains unchecked. I tries this several times, even after reboots, and for some reason it doesn't let me activate the option; other features of the Samsung account work just fine, so it's not a server or password problem.
Sorry for the long post, but there were a lot of weird things I thought I should mention, even though I'm not sure how much they're related to the problem. The main problem, as I mentioned, is that I can't root my phone because it tells me Reactivation Lock is on, but Reactivation Lock is off and I can't actually turn it on even if I try to. I have no idea what to make of this, I couldn't find any solution online, and I'd just like to root my phone so I can change the fonts (not like I need to do any major hacking).
I should probably also mention that the phone is on Android version 5.1.1.
I'd greatly appreciate any help you could give me.
