Hello everyone, im no developer nor do I post here often, or at all. The sole reason im doing this is because last night i flashed the latest lollipop build on my Galaxy s5 and that meant it updated the boot-loader and everything. I had reactivation lock on and that didn't bother me because the phone was mine and i knew the credentials required to get in so it was meant to be a walk in the park......until it turned on. I went about just fine setting up the phone from factory setting till i reached a point where it asked me for my Samsung details. I put in all the right details but when i hit login, it said "processing failed". I searched everywhere about this issue but nothing seemed to help. The only thing i learnt was that this happened because i flashed 2 different countries' firmware's (i.e i was on the Indonesian fw when my reactivation lock was on and i flashed a different country to which i turned on and got locked out)
I tried flashing back the Indonesian and login through there, but no luck, my only option was to go to samsung...... thats until i gave it one more shot this morning
Instructions:
1. Download the earliest stock lollipop build for your device model from sammobile, since i have a G900H it was G900HXXU1BOA7_G900HOXY1BOA7 (kazkhastan) for me.
2. Enter your recovery and wipe data and cache.
3. Enter download mode and flash the old lollipop build on your device through odin.
4. After it flashes, before it goes to the Samsung logo, turn off the device again and enter recover to wipe data and cache AGAIN.
5. Reboot and wait.
6. Once you're on the welcome screen, follow the instructions on ht tps:// www . youtube . com / watch?v=OCZpUcnp6Cc and it should work because you're on the older firmware where the flaw wasn't fixed yet. (Just remove the spaces)
And that's it, that's how you can get through the reactivation lock on the s5, though I'm guessing it should work on any device that has a lollipop build before February 2015.
I hope this helps the people out there who are locked out of their own devices, no need to thank me if it does since im not sticing around here long but please do give a thumbs up to the video on YouTube since its all the main work involved
Thanks for this, will give it a try and let you know how I get on as I'm locked out of my device due to the same problem
I've managed to get a little further with your help as I can now get into the phone. I'm trying to deactivate the reactivation lock option but it doesn't seem to have any effect, even after I put in my Samsung account details.
Any ideas how to disable that option as I can't flash any custom roms?

Okay if you're in the phone it means you were able to add a new or existing Samsung account to get through right? If so, have you tried disabling re activation in settings and put in the same details you used to get in when asked?
The account should be the same one as the one used to get in, if it's different it won't disable re activation
Thank you! It worked flawlessly on SM-G900M

Glad i could help buddy :laugh:
I managed to get into the phone but was unable to disable reactivation lock until I flashed the same stock rom version as I had on when I (foolishly) turned it on so if anyone else is struggling with that, make sure you're back on the same stock rom when trying to disable the reactivation lock
thanks again
Thanks for the tip!

Thanks I'll give it a try ! I read something about flashing the same firmware it had on it when I stupidly locked it! I think I was on Omega rom when I did it and I flashed the stock rom it came with 5.0 but it did not work! I'm not sure what omega rom firmware Omega uses I have a SM-G900M I know seeing the model number changed when I had Omega rom turned it to SG-G900F but now it's back on stock and I can't root
Omg thank you!!!!!!

Don't freak out here is the solution mate : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3309658
It's 100% working try it
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
My SM-G900W8 was updated to 5.1.1 OTA when I decided to wipe the device from recovery - and then couldn't get past the Samsung account login to reactivate my device.
I can confirm I successfully downgraded to KitKat (G900W8VLU1AND1) and followed these steps to bypass the Samsung account login part.
Oddly enough, I could still login to my Samsung account on the phone with this workaround, even though I ran into errors when I tried to to login to my Samsung account through the initial setup of the device.
UUUUHHHHH, after many sleepless nights and struggles with downloading different firmwares and stuck at the initialisation process finally I managed to get through the Samu Relock Trap.
Anyone in the same shoes use the earliest release of Lolipop (Polish in my case / google it and download, flash through Odin and follow the video at the first post) do not try KitKat or Mashmallow because it wont do the job on G900F.
I've got a 2°hand Galaxy S5 SM-G900V, and forgot to delete old accs on it, and made a hardreset...ofc its locked now, and the man whos i took the phone just dont remember those things.
The fact is, its full updated and theres no way to inject something via odin, always "Fail(auth)" and also no way to get on the browser, with a hard work i took on some screens of the verizon messenger and theres some links, when you click it a msg pop up saing browser wont open for security reasons.
Im extremly sad with this fkin thing, cause this s5 was so expencive, even if its 2°hand... And i took it for a gift to my wife :crying:
Could someone please help me with this ?
Thanks!

Use this service to gain access to your s5, cost is $20. They'll give you a username and password. You'll be able to use the phone but you won't be able to take reactivation lock off. Now flash official firmware, lollipop version using odin. Root the phone and follow the guide below to get on NCG. Then on NCG you'll be able to take reactivation lock off permanently. After that flash marshmallow PF4 and you'll have an updated S5 with reactivation lock off. I was in the same situation except i bought mine brand new and the password didn't work. Samsung refused to help me take the lock off and i was locked out of my own phone even after i provided proof that it's my phone. This is what i had to do and my S5 works great now....good luck!

Thx for help, but i cant pay anything right now, i used all my money on this s5 =/
Check out the thread "Reactivation lock can be turned off finally for those stuck on reactivation lock" in the Verizon s5 general forum. There's a way. If you get stuck pm me.

I have tried all FRP "fix" found on YouTube. Nothing works.
Is any method how I can root or enable USB debug?

Stok rom, no root, bootloader locked , no costum recovery.
I bought this phone "second hand" and all works good, but next day when i woke up i seen the phone "Welcome" and when i want to add my google account says "the phone was reset..."
Sorry for my bad English .
same problem....any solutions?
The purpose of the FRP is to protect personal property and information in the event the device is lost or stolent, so being able to circumvent that would defeat it's sole purpose.
Your best bet would be to email the Gmail you have on the phone and see if you can meet up again to disconnect the Gmail associated with it. Another possibility is to contact Google about the situation, perhaps they will contact the previous owner to verify the device was sold and to remove the email from the phone?

Many thanks

Combo files don't work on the newer T720s. But, there is a good chance that your tablet is still in warranty in which case you can contact Samsung and they'll send you a free shipping label to send them the tablet so they can remove the lock.

There is a serial number printed on the back of the tablet. (Very hard to read!) Call 1-800-samsung and give them the number and they will tell you. You'll need proof of sale and they'll send you a shipping label.

No, you can't at this time. Everytime someone finds a way, Samsung fixes it. I don't doubt someone will find a way around their latest fix, but for the moment, only they can remove the lock. Of course, the whole purpose is to prevent theft, so if neither you nor your friend can prove it is a legit purchase, you are out of luck.

I cant find it anywhere either
If you have Custom Recovery, trying installing magiask, if data is not mounting, you have to format data. If you install but dont have root acces, youbmight need a custom kernel. You do on the T380 at least. I have experience with it beacuse my T380 is rooted. I had to install an rmm bypass or else my device would be bricked by Samsung's werid knox.
