Hello I've had my s5 for about 8 months I just recently did a hard reset so like any other new cell it asks for a Google account and a Samsung account if you have one...
Well I put Google account and everything is OK.. By the time I punch in my details for the Samsung account it says processing failed. I know it's not my details because I have 1 other Samsung s5mini and has the same I'd and password.
It's basically a paperweight right now it won't let me get passes the 3rd screen (Samsung account loggin)
Please help
I am having the same problem as well. I bought my phone from someone else over a year ago so I am not sure if it wants their account or what. The crazy thing is that if I use an incorrect password it says invalid password, but when I enter the right one I get processing failed. Not sure what to do, can't Odin older firmware
Check youtube for "Bypass Galaxy S5 reactivation lock"
same thing here. when i use the right password says, processing failed. when i use wrong one, it says, wrong password
pain in the butt this thing.
Samsung account username/password (test - validation) this is easy to be performed by a computer logging at Samsung website.
Customer support of Samsung this is amazing, if you contact them.
In case that you do log-in normally in your Samsung account over the web, and when you do that from your phone this Fail, then something is heavily wrong, and also Samsung customer support them will hold the answers about that too.
Check Samsung Account app permission ... grant everything and try again
I spent the last 6 hours on this, but I'm finally up and running. Forgot that reset your pw and wait 24 hours BS. The problem is the older devices don't recognize the 2-factor authentication, which means you have to sneak in the backdoor and turn it on. No need to call 911 either - leave those lines open for real emergencies! Here's the step by step, (assuming I haven't forgotten anything).
1. On login page, select the microphone button. This will take you to keyboard options. Select "set hot keys" and type any text in the field.
2. Highlight the text and tap to select Google Assist. On the menu that pops up, hit the share icon and then Google Drive.
3. Okay, this is the part I'm blanking on, so good luck! Somehow from here, I was able to access an address bar. I suggest clicking around until something pops up.
4. Once you get to an address bar, type in "Quick Shortcut Maker" and install and open the app. This app creates shortcuts to various applications on your device.
5. In the app, select Applications and scroll to "Settings." Voila! You just snuck in the back door. Interestingly, I was able to access all kinds of applications this way - NOT VERY SECURE SAMSUNG!!
6. The irony of this next step will blow your mind. Head over to the "backup and reset" menu and select factory reset. I know, you're probably thinking, "this is how I got here in the first place." That's what makes this SO funny.
7. Before you can perform a factory reset, Samsung asks you to verify your pw. Go ahead and enter it again. You will magically end up behind the curtain where you are prompted to enable 2-FA on your phone. Yay! And now you are logged in.
8. Before restarting go to the "accounts" menu in settings and view and verify your profile info associated with the Samsung account. I went ahead and entered my phone number here just in case that mattered.
9. I did all of the steps above with the sim card out. It still didn't work at this point, but after reloading the sim card, I am back in business!!
Posted at Nexus help forum as well.
I was doing the N preview. I unenrolled my phone. Got the OTA to revert back to M. It reverted back but when it boots to the language prompt. I select US English, then my wifi. Then it says checking connection, software update, and then Verify your account. I enter my gmail address, I enter my password, it says checking info and a popup (fade in at the bottom of screen) appears saying "Please sign in using one of the owners accounts for this device". It then boots me to Verify your account, email address prompt. And around I go.
Now if I look at my google account under Device activity and notification it does show:
Huawei Nexus 6P
2 minutes ago
So obviously there is some kind of talking going on but it won't let me do anything on the phone. The wifi, simcard and battery icons are there but I cannot pull down the notifications pane, nor can I access the back, home and app buttons at the bottom (simply not there). I'm guessing that a security feature.
Also, I did try a factory reset. I also tried factory reset and wipe partition but it just won't let me do anything but enter my email and password and loop back to the start.
I'm at a loss.
Thanks!
edit: doing some digging, I did change my password before doing the reset, so could I possibly be in the Factory Reset Protection thing and I'm going to have to wait 72 hours? It's not giving me any kind of warning that that's what is going on but I'm thinking maybe that's it?
Okay, so browsing the www I came across this article of a guy bypassing the FRP on his S7 edge... I was trying to find a working method for the T-MOBILE TAB E (sm-t377t) so I tried what the instructions said and FINALLY! I was able to get through... This should work on any model of samsung phones that have the FRP but since I cannot test all the other devices Samsung has created I can only vouch for the Tab E.
Here is the whole list of instructions for S7 edge.... My notes on what I did are after step 7 because step 8 didn't work for me.... But yeah I only had to get to step 7 to get past the lock. Keep this on the dl tho or Samsung is going to come out with a new update to block even this trick...... ENJOY
Steps to Bypass Factory Reset Protection on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge
Step 1. After factory resetting your device when you Reboot your device, you would see the Setup Wizard to login into the previously synced Google account.
Step 2. Select your Language and the press on Next. This will bring the screen for WIFI connection. Connect to a portable hotspot that can be quickly turned off. You may connect to your WIFI router but keep in mind you should have easy and quick access to turn it off as we will be required to turn off the WIFI/Internet access to the device.
Step 3. After connecting it to a WIFI router/hotspot, click Next. Now you will have to close/turn off the WIFI router/ hotspot connection as soon as you see the Software Update screen saying Checking for Updates.
Step 4. As you turn off the hotspot you will see couldn’t Sign In message. Now click Next, you will see the options for setting Date and Time. At this point turn back On the WIFI router or the hotspot connection.
Step 5. Now skip through all the screens until you reach the screen saying Google Services. Scroll down, and tap on the blue text saying Google Terms of Services. This will open a popup with the Terms and Conditions.
Step 6. Select some text in the popup by holding on the screen. After selecting the text, you should see some options like Copy , Share etc. Click on the Share button. This will open a menu which says Setup Wizard.
Step 7. Now hold on to the icon of Samsung Setup Wizard. This will open the Application info for the Samsung Setup Wizard. Tap on Data Usage > UPGRADE DATA SERVICE.
MY NOTES ^^^^That part didn't work for me, it still said I was locked out...-------->>>>>
This step did not work due to security reasons. I cleared cache, plugged in OEM cable, and scrolled down from notification bar and turned off the wifi again and then clicked on settings. (Not sure if OEM cable had any effect on the tablet but I was still able to access settings.) In the settings menu, not all the options were available but there was an option to add a user. Added a user, input name and hit next. Samsung login screen pops up, logged in with my samsung account, hit next, and continued to the new user page. At the new user page I clicked on settings, enabled USB debugging and Unknown Sources and attempted to do a factory reset from the Backup and Settings tab, however it was not available for the added user. I proceeded to switch from the new user account that I made to the original (OWNER) account that was there. I was allowed to switch and was asked to sign into Samsung again. Signed in and proceeded to home screen. From here I was able to reset everything from the device. It restarted and I was able to login as if it were a brand new device.
Step 8. This will open a menu asking you to chose the application to Open With. Select Chrome browser. Once Chrome browser opens skip through the process and then open Rootjunkysdl.com using the address bar.
Step 9. Once this website opens, tap on Apps and look for ‘com.sika524.android.quickshortcut.apk’. Download this application to your device .
Step 10. Now open Google.com on Chrome and search for Samsung App Store. Tap on the first link that appears in the search results, this should open the Samsung app store. Scroll down a little and tap on the icon saying Samsung Galaxy Apps. This should open the Galaxy apps application on your phone.
Step 11. Once you have Galaxy Apps application running tap on the More option at the top right corner of the screen and then tap on Sign In. Then Sign In using your Samsung account or create a new one if you don’t have one.
Step 12. Now search for the ‘file explorer” using the search bar and install any one of them. Once installed open the file explorer application.
Step 13. In the File explorer, open the Downloads folder and install the Quick Shortcut Maker application that you downloaded earlier. You may have to allow installation of applications from Unknown sources.
Step 14. Once the application is installed tap the Open button. In the application perform a search for Google Account Manager, you will see various result tap the one that says Type Email and Password and then hit the Try button.
Step 15. This would open the activity for typing the Password. Tap on the three dotted menu button at the top right corner of the screen and select Browser Sign-In.
Step 16. Sign In using any Google account you want to use and wait a few seconds. After you are Signed in Quick shortcut maker application will reappear. Now just keep tapping the back key until you reach the Google Services screen once again.
Step 17. Now press Next on the Google Services screen. Keep tapping Next until you see the screen saying Account added.
Step 18. Skip through all other screens and tap the Home button. If the home screen doesn’t appear for you then perform a Reboot.

Good info

I have the tmo, don't have a tmo sim, can get the frp deal up the point of dialing a number, but only 911. None of the options from there help. I did this method too, it tells me apps aren't installed or are blocked for this action.
Nice, but too bad any of those methods work anymore

unfortunately the online suggested method when using realterm isnt working for my unlocked s8, keep getting a NO CARRIER error when sending the commands. Im using Straight Talk so maybe thats an issue but I cant find anymore help on this subject and very frustrating that my $600 phone is a paperweight at the moment. Damnit, Im just not good with this stuff, lol.

I have not seen a single phone with OS 7 or above (or even 6.0) that this "share" option is viable at all.

Hello,
My wife and I recently sold our Sprint S7 Edge phones on eBay. I factory wiped them and dropped them in the mail. I was contacted by the buyers saying they cannot get them activated or turned on because of some kind of Google lock. I've never heard of this until I was contacted. In the old days, you just wiped them and went on your way. I did some quick research and discovered that FRP is a thing. I obviously want to help these buyers get the items that they bought working. I doubt it is as easy as clicking remove access to the devices via https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity because it is probably some sort of local protection? I don't want to give 2 strangers my password, but I read about changing my password to something temporary and then giving that person my login and utilizing 2 pass authentication to allow the device to get cleared and then changing my password to something I actually want again. I used the money from the sale of my phones to purchase the new phones so I really can't just afford to refund the phones and take them back. Is there something Google customer service can do?
thanks,

I'm pretty sure they are gonna need a password, unless we have a bypass frp guide here on xda
So I reset the password to a junk password for the purposes of sharing. I'm thinking this should work.
1. let him enter the junk password.
2. when I get the 2fa popup say "yes"
3. once I accept that device, promptly change the password and say "log out all devices on this account"
4. reset password to something I actually want
5. he can set his own google account on the device
This google account has no financials or anything. I'm thinking that step 3 performed seconds after the 2fa prompt should be enough
What say you?

This will work fine. once the account logs in once, it will ask the owner of the phone if they want to save the account or not (if they have malicious intent then may click on yes) so once you confirmed they got passed the lock and you accepted the login 2fa prompt, immediately change password then log out of all devices.
That is the plan. I'll have the device manager up on my computer and once the 2FA goes through, I'm going to change the password revoke access on all my devices for good measure. I'll just log back in after.
I really wish Google had something in their system to account for this. My sister did something similar with an iphone and was able to "ok it" on a webpage and release the device.

I've got a Galaxy Tab A T-385M but it have an app called MobileIron Go installed that doesn't let me use the tablet, it opens when I turn on the tablet asking for an email and password that I doesn't have and if I press to leave the app, the tablet restart and return to the app again, I tried wipe data/factory reset but the app didn't got removed. Is there any way I can uninstall it?
I have the same problem, because of it i cant acess oem settings, usb debugg etc...
So, if u want to acess some things like youtube, chrome (no downloads, code etc...)
On the screen of policy tap on google policy and click on every word as a link
So on the menu click on google account, log in and have "fun"
