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 put myself into a perdicament and I have been searching high and low to figure this out.
Currently I am samsung Locked out of my phone, I am getting a processing failed error even on a correct samsung account entry. I've tried everything from deleting the account to re-entering the IMEI on the account to register it on the same username and pass. Unfortunately nothing.
Next I tried to bypass the samsung lock by using Root Junky's Method. I couldn't follow it all the way because my phone didn't have one crucial step ( to scan business card button) So I basically got around it by getting into google play and downloading a file explorer and continuing the process. I then downloaded SideSync and sololauncher to have some sort of homepage.
With all that I'm still not able to enter the samsung account info. when you try to add another account it just backs out instantly, and if you try to enter the information on an app that makes you log in, it just immediately closes the app.
Sooo, I've been reading the next possible solution is to get the phone on Kit Kat but I'm honestly having the hardest time doing so.
I dropped the phone down to lollipop and tried rooting but I got stuck on the phone not getting usb debugging dialog to pop up, even though It pops up for my samsung s3 so I know it's not the cord or my computer. This is where I'm stuck at. I have no clue how to drop the phone back down to Kit kat and would love someone to help me out or to just give me a nudge in the right direction.
Currently on pd1 stock samsung s5 vzw.
Thank you guys in advanced!

Thank you for the threads! The bottom one "reactivation lock" one is actually the one I started on, but for some reason, my phone will not for hte life of me bring up the debugging dialog, if i can get the debugging dialog to pop up then everything will be perfect and I can root and continue on from there.. but for some reason the galaxy s5, will not pop up that message, I've flashed ok3, pb1, pd1, and pd4 or whatever the latest one is. Hilariously pd4 actually popped up the debugging dialog to accept permission to my computer.... something that I can't do anything about or do anything with that since you cannot root on pd4. I have a galaxy s3 and that pops up debugging dialog instantly so I know it's neither my cord or my computer. All drivers, programs and adb are installed on my computer.
Those two forum threads are perfect if I can just get debugging to pop up.. it's like once I get the bypass to work for ok3 or pb1, none of the status bar things work, some pop ups work and I think that it is popping up but it's blocking it or something seeing how I'm just by passed through it and not actually done with the setup wizard.
Just need to get my phone authorized instead of unauthorized. the RSA KEY debugging pop up wont pop up at all. I'm not sure if it's because samsung lock basically shuts down part of the phone to be functional and wont let it pop up? I just can't figure it out.
I've been trying to figure this out but so far a no go
To make my guide 100% working I will try again tonight I think

Heya Yeah, I have already done almost all of rootjunky's methods. Got into a a webbrowser and accessed google play, also downloaded that frp work around but i think it's for the google reactivation lock not samsungs reactivation lock. I reboot and it goes right back into the same thing. the frp bypass just makes it so you can reenter your google account info if you are google locked. :/
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!
Hi,
I did a search here for anything to do with (SM-G950W) and saw 10 threads about this model but I am unable to find a thread that has a solution to my problem. I have read posts about using Odin v3.12.7 and putting the phone into download mode then flash the PDA (now called AP) with a combination .MD5 file that is compatible for (SM-G950W). I tried flashing with a stock AP, one from a stock SM-G950U and several others that I have found from Google search and all I get from Odin is "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1". I made sure I had the latest version (as of writing this post) of the Samsung USB Driver with version 1.5.63.0 so does anyone know how I can bypass the FRP (factory reset protection)? I see lots of Youtube videos about using a bluetooth device and calling emergency but I will avoid this method. I should also mention that the "download" screen does show FRP lock enabled if that matters (is this KNOX?).
I am trying to help my friend fix this problem because he locked himself out of his phone so I am out of ideas and for whatever reason he does not remember the last Google account that was synced with his phone. We tried all the emails that "he" thinks it is and when we put in his cell phone # the recovery said it will send us the verification code but it fails.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks to those who replied.
EDIT:
I got Odin to flash the phone now. I had to use Canada (Rogers), version 7.0, PDA - (G950WVLU2AQK7), CSC - (G950WOYA2AQK7), date 2017-12-10 from SamMobile website. I wanted to flash the XAC version to remove Rogers branding but I kept getting the "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [abl]Fused 2 > Binary 1" error. Anyway, the phone rebooted back to FRP (factory reset protection) screen to enter a Google account. So back to square one unless someone knows which file I need to flash in order to bypass or unlock FRP.
Thanks,

Use a tool like chimera tool you'll be able to get past that no problem. Should be able to anyway. 99% of people on these forums will automatically brand you a thief because nobody here apparently forgets their login account info and are otherwise perfect citizens

First off, thank you for being helpful. I even invited myself to the telegram group "Galaxy S8/S8+ (XDA Group)" to ask for help there too and some people was not as helpful by telling us that it would be impossible to forget the login. Seriously, I could have laughed at my friend and call him dumb but I didn't because he came to me for help. I searched and read so many forums and downloaded so many different files from legal websites to understand what to do but I couldn't get it resolved.
I will try the "chimera" tool that you suggested and if that doesn't work then we will just give up and bring the phone to a repair shop. I spoke to someone at Google today who said gmail password resets may take up to 24 hours for the phone to recognize. So we will try again with the 3 gmail accounts that we think was synced with the phone tomorrow because the passwords was just reset today however the representative said Samsung might be able to help so he transferred us to the Samsung in the U.S. (by mistake?) and the girl from Samsung transferred us to Samsung Canada. What a run around; anyway the last person said we may need to bring it to a repair shop. The person asked us for our postal code and gave us a few shops in our area.
Crossing our fingers that the "chimera" tool works otherwise we're probably looking at $50-$60 CAD for the phone repair shop to fix this issue.
Thanks again!

So I installed chimera and it doesn't list SM-G950W as an available model to reset the FRP. Do I need an update or do I need to buy something to get more supported models? Also I looked at "http://www.techoxygen.com/samsung-fr...frp-lock-free/" and downloaded the "Octoplus Samsung Tool" the download file came with a trojan virus which got removed by antivirus program. Now when I try to open the Octoplus tool it is saying that the "Card is not found". What does that mean? Sorry I never done this before so I am not familiar with these terms.

Give this a shot
If that doesn't work go to YouTube and search bypass frp lock SM-G950W. You'll get it eventually

Thanks for your help. We tried watching the videos but our Samsung S8 does not have a home button. Anyway, we decided to go to a local phone repair shop and they charged us $80 to reset the lock. We had to wait a bit because the Samsung server was down but at least we got our phone working again.
Also if anyone is wondering about the chimera tool and support for Samsung S8 this is the response I got from their support team:
Dear User,
Yes, currently it is not supported. The FRP reset is not added for the S8 models.Of course we will add it, in the near future. When? right now i can not tell you exact date, but i am sure that we can handle it soon.
Best regards,
Chimera team

Right on at least you got it going again. I just kinda assumed chimera tool supported that cause I've been using it for years on my other galaxy phones and was unlocking a whole bunch of other phones for $10 a pop.
I have same problem with my sm-g950w and don't want to pay 80$ at phone repair shop
hopefully if I wait a little, more option will become available for the frp reset
if anyone has any more options, please let me know

It's not that everyone thinks that, it's that there is no way to tell from a forum post, and rather than risk making xda complicit in a felony it's safer and fairer to just not answer any of them on the board where there is an official record. Just wait until some judge subpones all of xdas servers because they hold official records in an ongoing criminal case

Ok trying to help here, if you already flashed the phone with version 7 its means will get easy to bypass the G account, just there are a lot of videos on you tube but the easiest one is in spanish.. (freedom phone) the name of the you tuber, if not there are more in english..
Android 7 allow you to update the keyboard which is necessary in order to complete the task, it will take just 10 minutes I did one T mobile but it will work with the canadian one as long as the phone has the version 7.. btw i am downloading the rogers firmware to flash my canadian one.. thanks for the tip..
XDA never encourages this "fishy" applications for some really really desperate people that needs help.
Samsung repair centre can fix your FRP Locked phone. Just present your Proof of purchase/receipt/ warranty card and of course your phone
So you can use your phone again.
FRP security is implemented to prevent unauthorized access on your phone.
So make sure you don't forget your main google account logged in on your phone.
It is really recommended that you have "MULTIPLE WAYS" of retrieving your Google account
Make sure your G Account has
(
1. phone number
2. recovery email
3. provided security
4. Q&A
5. Google recovery page ( you need to answer personal info/identity you can remember)
)

If this helps you i have the SM-G950W (G950WVLS3BRE1) and i made it work by flashing the COMBINATION_FA70_G950USQU3ARD1 first then i flashed the firmware 4 file G950USQU3CRD4 using BL+AP+CP+HOME_CSC+USERDATA and it worked beautifully. Maybe it will help your issue.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and need some help please.
I have a Samsung S8 (G950WVLU5BRG4) with Android Version 8.0. The phone is unlocked and from Rogers in Canada but has a Google FRP.
Although I followed the step by step instructions with the combination file and so on Odin keeps showing me an error and is unable to bypass the Google account lock. The error message I am getting within log of the combination file is:
FAIL! (Auth)
Complete (Write) operation failed
All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 1)
Any idea of how to solve this problem? I am sure it got solved already by someone in the forum but I can't find the right entry.

As far as I know canadian S8 variant cannot be downgraded, i had tried everything with them with no avail,
there is a site(server bypassing the google account any model) for 22 usa dollars!! search it.. 22 dollars is nothing if your phone is an xpensive one!!

SM-G930W8 cannot get past this crap. 7.0 nougat
have tried a ton of solutions posted all over and nothing works.
i don't have a bluetooth headset first of.
second it won't allow me to use bluetooth in a call with realterm. give me message can't use in this call.
so i saw that i could downgrade to an older version however that gives me an error on the phone in download something about fw version.
i figured this is because it was at the latest version of the bootloader from my reading.
currently was able to downgrade only to G930W8VLS3BRA2 version
apparently i need to go back to G930W8VLU2BQH1 but i can't
how can i downgrade to a firmware that will allow me to open up something to get this frp removed.
thanks in advance for any help.
btw this is not a stolen phone in case anyone is thinking this.
I bought it from someone on kijiji with a broken screen.
i fixed the screen and was presented with this.
I took it to fido and they said it is not blacklisted imei and i can use it if i get it going again....

have tried a ton of solutions posted all over and nothing works.
i don't have a bluetooth headset first of.
second it won't allow me to use bluetooth in a call with realterm. give me message can't use in this call.
so i saw that i could downgrade to an older version however that gives me an error on the phone in download something about fw version.
i figured this is because it was at the latest version of the bootloader from my reading.
currently was able to downgrade only to G930W8VLS3BRA2 version
apparently i need to go back to G930W8VLU2BQH1 but i can't
how can i downgrade to a firmware that will allow me to open up something to get this frp removed.
thanks in advance for any help.
btw this is not a stolen phone in case anyone is thinking this.
I bought it from someone on kijiji with a broken screen.
i fixed the screen and was presented with this.
I took it to fido and they said it is not blacklisted imei and i can use it if i get it going again....

Did you resolve this?. I don't even under stand why I'm getting this frp issue I had this phone for 2 years and set up with my Google account my child attempted to root it and it got stuck in a bootloop so I had to reset it. Now I can't get in it. It's a sprint s7 I tried the headset thing with 2 different Bluetooth sets managed to hook up to Bluetooth hook up to Wi-Fi but I cannot get the headset to make any screen pop up I did manage to get on the internet but it will not allow me to download anything I'm wondering if they blocked this way of doing this
