galaxy S5 Verizon LOCKED!!!!

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?

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.

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

Phone locked out,

Hi there,
Friend of mine using Lenovo A6000+, Doesn't have google account in that phone. It was secured with the pattern lock. But unfortunately he forgot the unlock pattern. Since he have a lot of contacts in that phone, there is no way to reset it. Its full stock version. Just a basic user., so no root access or anything. In this scenario any other way to unlock the phone without doing a factory reset? The google answers are helpful only if the usb debugging is enabled. Since it is not rooted and basically a very common user used that phone, i don't think usb debugging is enabled. Any help appreciated.
By the way, i'm also thinking of flashing a custom recovery into the phone. Will that be of any help? Would it cause the phone to lose data? Will that need usb debugging enabled to do it?

I dont think, there's anything you can do about it. Ask him first, if he had ever connected to pc and authorized it for usb debugging. Otherwise, the only option left is to factory reset.
Edit: Brother, I'm working on something to change the pattern, which obviously I'll tell you. I'll make a flashable zip which you can flash through twrp. Lets see how this goes.
I'm not sure, if I'll be able to do it. But if it does, it would be very helpful for everyone.
:silly:
Edit 2: Finally I got it working!!! hurray!!
Just flash this zip below and the next time your phone boots, you can enter any "more than 3-dot" pattern and the phone will accept. Later, you can set new pattern or anything.
:angel: :silly:
P.S. I used CWM recovery on stock KK to flash it. Don't know why but I couldn't manage to flash twrp. Who cares anyway, if our job gets done. :silly:

[SOLVED] - Moto G4 Plus - Encrpytion PIN/PATTERN/PASSWORD Problem

Hi all,
I have encrypted my device and using PATTERN as the security. I do restart device once in a week and it asks encryption pattern to start Android. Today when i restarted, it asked me PASSWORD instead of PATTERN. I tried Google password here but it does not work. I dont understand y its asking for PASSWORD when i have selected PATTERN.
I cannot start my device now. I cannot afford to factory reset as the data is imp to me
Please help/advice/guide.
SOLUTION - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/phone-password-instead-pattern-solution-t3424457

Guys, Do not encrypt your phone. Motorola dont have any resolution for this problem.
Infact their Engineer told there is no such option which enables pattern/password at the boot up (Can u believe it?). They have such ppl on their support.
My only options are:
1. Delete all data
2. Install custom recovery to access encrypted data. But i believe that will void my warranty.
If anybody has any other solution, please advise.

Solved it
Guys i have solved the issue
Saved my data too. no need for custom recovery.

Really Need Help With My J7 Perx, FRP Locked

So I have been trying just about EVERYTHING to remove this Goddamn FRP Lock on this phone. I used Odin to reflash the factory firmware, still same lock, tried factory resetting on the recovery menu... I just don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!?
How I got this stupid lock:
So my friend just gave me a phone that he got from a friend. He never turned it on since apparently, and when I got it, it had a password lock saying, 'Ha, you dont know my password *****'. Extreme letdown, then I thought 'Hey, why not factory reset through recovery, since I now own it. Now I am stuck with this FRP Lock, and without a doubt, he doesn't give me the account information needed to unlock it.

Try this

FRP Lock Phone UNLOCK Cant boot, cant use recovery

I'm quite noob at this and guess i just bricked my phone but would like some sugestions to see if i can bring it back
Basicly i was trying to root my phone i had factory reseted my phone and had Phone UNLOCKED and FRP UNLOCK, installed TWRP and boot my phone, it was working fine but since it was factory reseted it didnt had a google account, so i tried to install a custom ROM, but since i had EMUI 5 there werent many compative and in the process i somewhat messed up and every time i booted my phone it always send me to TWRP, so i tried to look for a stock firmware to install but it didnt work, then i had th stupid ideia to use DC-Unlocker to reset my phone to factory settings and it Locked FRP, now i cant unlock it because i cant boot normally and cant enter TWRP either, is there any way to unlock FRP without booting my phone?
