Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910F and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
(phone is never locked, bought from Cosmote Romania, now Telekom Romania)
Thanks.
Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated - [ SOLVED ]
Hi guys,
I've succesfully deactivated the Samsung Reactivation Lock on my Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F - Android Lollipop 5.1.1. !!!
I'll tell you in detail how I did it. After 5 hours of data mining and documenting myself, I've gathered all the necessary data to do it.
Statement: On Samsung Note 4 with Lollipop 5.1.1, the Samsung Reactivation Lock cannot be deactivated!
In order to do that you need to downgrade it to KitKat 4.4.4. (thanks to brayhanrd for coming up with this downgrade-first idea in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/reactivation-lock-root-custom-rom-t3097964#post60511431
It can be done following these simple steps:
1) Downgrade the Samsung Note 4 software version from Lollipop 5.1.1 to KitKat 4.4.4 - using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone which can be downloaded from www.sammobile.com.
(Obs: if it was purchased from Verizon then THAT's the version you need to get it. I'm telling you this to avoid a lot of downgrade failures because of mismatch files and Odin writing errors, believe me, I read a lot about it today! )
- Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat instructions and all the necesarry files to do it (e.g. Odin) can be found here: http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-note-4-how-to-downgrade-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (thanks to Doug for documenting this )
If downgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/S9ONzxqPvaG
2) A work around to be able to turn off (deactivate) the Samsung Reactivation Lock can be found on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23TdbqJehA
- Long story short, the video emphasize what you need to do to get into the phone's Samsung Account, trick the already locked account and re-register yourself with a new (yet existing) Samsung account, which later on, will be seen by Samsung as the phone's default account, thus allowing yourself to register with it. What this guy's doing, basically is using the Text to Speech Samsung update to get logged in to the Samsung Galaxy Apps with this new Samsung account he created (or already had). From there, he gets back to the first phone setup steps and use this Samsung account which will be recognized by Samsung Reactivation Lock as being the default account (because he already signed-in with it into the Samsung Galaxy Apps) and voila, passed the protection.
3) Turn off the Samsung Reactivation Lock: After you tricked the Samsung Lock screen and passed over it reaching the classic, well known home screen, go to -> Settings -> Security -> and find the "Reactivation Lock" option and UNCHECK it! It will ask again for your Samsung account password, insert it and - ONLY THEN - you will have turned off the Samsung Reactivation Lock.
4) Upgrade back to Lollipop 5.1.1: same instructions here, first, upgrade only with stock image made specifically for your Note 4 version, to ba taken from www.sammobile.com or any other respectable place.
If upgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/U0BgITnrMmzi
Voila! you have a fully functional Note 4 phone again!
I hope this post will help you spare those 5 hours I used for reseaching these things!

Not possible to downgrade 5.1.1 to 4.4.4
Funny you say you downgraded from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 because everywhere I've read the consensus is the new bootloader makes this impossible.
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/downgrading-5-1-1-t3206848/post62923032
"If you upgraded your boot loader past OB7 (OE1, OF5 or OG5) You can no longer downgrade."
I tried your intructions anyway with the proper stock rom for my SM-N910P with 5.1.1 (OG5) and no dice. Odin failed right away.
Thanks anyway!

Let me help you further because IT IS POSSIBLE. I've done it! Are you sure you read my thread correctly where I've stated that:
...using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to download a stock version of 4.4.4. specifically made for your phone version, model and mobile operator.
maybe for the sm-n910f but not the sm-n910p
I greatly appreciated your response, I spent almost the entire day yesterday working on this with no success.
Just so you know, I did in fact download the stock rom made specifically for my sm-910p, here:
http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/
I'm on N910PVPU4COG5 now which is Lolipop 5.1.1 now.
I tried downgrading to N910PVPU1ANK2 Kitkat 4.4.4 and no go.
That is definitely the stock firmware for my device.
I did a factory reset & wiped cache first, then tried flashing with odin and after a successful md5 check it failed.
Not sure but maybe because you had the international version the bootloader is different?
But again, I'm sure it didn't work at that seems to be the consensus everywhere else too. that once you go above OB7 there's no going back on the N910P.

I would suggest to not give up just yet.
Verify the following:
a) From the page you gave me http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/ - I know it sais there It cannot be done, just ignore that - did you installed the Drivers on your computer before you plugged in your phone?
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
Try Try Try Again...
Thanks for your advice. I would like to downgrade and so haven't given up just yet; you gave me hope (even a shot in the dark)!

A: Yes, I have installed the drivers on my computer and successfully flashed with odin before and my com port is detected, everything is working on that end. However, I read today someone said they could only use odin 3.10 to flash without it failing so I will try that too.
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
A: No, I'm going to try the older version of KitKat 4.4.4 next, N910PVPU1ANIE
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
A: OK, I will try this and report back.

Samsung Reactivation Bypass Alternative
Hi all,
This is my first posting and reply to a thread. Hope all is doing well.
After many many many attempts to either bypass or deactivate Knox's reactivation lock.. I was finally successful. I"m sure you can imagine how i was jumping up and down..
Any who, here's how i did it:
What you need:
1- An OTG Cable
2- A USB flash drive
3- Samsung Google bypass
First thing I did was factory reset my Verizon Note 4 from the recovery mode.
If you have another android phone available, that would be useful. Take the OTG cable plus it into the extra android phone and plug in your USB flash drive. It will either pop up or ask you to reformat the drive. You want to make sure that the USB flash drive is compatible with android devices. If you don't have an extra phone, reformat your USB flash drive using CMD (format Fat32.)
After that's completed, plug your flash drive into your laptop/desktop and drag the file you downloaded (Samsung google bypass) to your flash drive.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM!
Power on your android phone, after it turns on, plug your OTG cable into your phone and attach your USB flash drive. Wait a few seconds so your phone can recognize the new hardware. A folder from the flash drive should pop. Now run the Samsung Google Bypass file. This will take you to the settings on the phone. Connect to your WiFi.
Click on the Security tab and check "Unknown Sources" and then click ok.
In the same tab> Click on where is says "Go to website". That will open a browser. If for any reason you don't have that option in that tab, in the settings options, click on "Accounts" and add your gmail account to the phone. Go back to the settings options and click on your Google account. We need to get this to the browser.
After clicking on your account, scroll down to where is says "Smart Lock for passwords", go ahead an open that up.
You will see "Google Account" - Click on it. That should take you to a browser.
(If for any reason with those option don't take you to a browser, search the settings section to find a way. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY)
Now we are almost done!
Download Aptoide> It will ask you all the prompts to install> after its done, click on open.
Download Knox> it will ask you to upgrade> go ahead and upgrade it> after thats done, open up the knox app and create a new account. This will now save to your phone.
You can unplug the OTG cable and restart your phone. But before doing so, make sure that account is was successfully created.
You will go back to set up wizard. Go ahead and set up your phone. You should not have any problems now.
Hope this works for you as it did for me.
Thanks for reading

Forgot to mention, when you download the Samsung Google bypass, make sure its a APK and if its in a rar file, unzip it.

I tried to roof the phone with odin but this also fails. I downloaded Odin 3 and installed CF-Auto-Root-trltevzw-trltevzw-smn910v but after i start odin program it takes only a few secounds at it fails. What else can i do? Need some more tricks

Hi so i had a similar problem to this on my note 3.
What I did was
Hard reset and then reboot and when it goes through the initial settings I think on the first page click on accessibility and then in there find language and input you want to go to text to speech and download any language u want and you should then be able to put in your own Samsung account details and then when you go through to the abnormal reset locked page your account you just put on there should be there.
If that doesn't work(which sometimes it doesn't you will want to try again but this time when you go to accessibility you want to try find anything in there that will let you go into a browser like a terms and conditions or click on something like that. Once in a browser search for google play and download a phone settings app and then open the app through google play and go into security settings and disable reactivation. Lock thing

@mrgluck: I've found that the easiest way to beat FRP locks on a Samsung phone, is to flash combination firmware.
A combo firmware is a firmware used by Samsung to diagnose issues. It isnt meant to be used by average users. However, it can also remove an FRP lock.
Steps:
1. Download Odin (use whatever version you want, i've always used 3.12.7 with the Note 4)
2. Install the latest Samsung USB driver
3. Download combo firmware, search for "n910v combination firmware" or "n910v combination file" on Google
4. Start Odin, load up the tar.md5 file into the AP slot (if it downloaded as a zip/rar/whatever, you need to extract it first), then click Start
5. Once it's done, boot the phone, combo firmware should load. This isnt like anything you've ever used, so dont play around too much once it's booted, could cause yourself more issues...unless, of course, you really know what you're doing
6. Power off, boot into stock recovery, do factory reset, boot it up again
7. Power off, flash regular firmware (not combo) with Odin
When you get to the setup wizard screens, the FRP lock should be gone. I've done this on dozens of phones for myself and friends, it seemed to always work. It's been quite awhile since I flashed one of these, so if my steps arent quite right...
try this

I did something stupid. I used BK package disabler to disable a lot of stuff, including beaconmanager, aaaservice, push service, and a few more which I didn't know the function off. I thought if something breaks after restart, I'll just undo it.
Problem is, I didn't restart.
Then I got an update. It updated, and restarted.
Long story short, lots of settings were strange, like vibration feedback was off, and more small stuff.
More importantly, 2 things have broken: NFC is totally broken, it always makes the sound that the tag doesn't work.
And also, my notification tray is broken. The settings gear, and the down arrow don't work, but the switches do.
No notifications show, at all. None.
I really don't want to factory reset. Is there a way to fix this? I hope so.

Probably should have mentioned I did that, and also restarted a dozen times. I guess the update combined with the off packages broke something?

You need to flash your firmware again.

Yep. But you'll get a working phone...
Well, factory resetting is basically not an option right now. Living without notifications, and nfc is also not great. Is there nothing else I can do? Like re flashing the firmware while keeping app settings?

So you know for sure flashing is not possible without wiping? So xile6 is wrong?
Btw it's not a brick right now. It looks like a software problem. And those can be fixed, right?

Try to flash only cp bl and ap file trough odin just in case flash home csc if its possible not the normal cscs make sure it is home csc.

Of course I don't. Neither do you. I don't know what you disabled, neither do you. No idea what your original firmware was, your exact S7E model, CSC, bootloader, modem, the update you mentioned, what flashing method you're planning on using etc etc. If you know you're keeping it secret. Presume you're not rooted but you haven't said.
The only info you've given is that you bust your phone doing something you shouldn't have but don't know what, and don't want to do a factory reset
Not very helpful.
In short, how can we help when you don't give any info and you admit yourself you don't know what you disabled that caused your problem?
Flashing stock FW will work (99.999% certain). Give more info and maybe it's not necessary, who knows? We're not telepathic.

No idea what your original firmware was, your exact S7E model, CSC, bootloader, modem, the update you mentioned, what flashing method you're planning on using etc etc. If you know you're keeping it secret. Presume you're not rooted but you haven't said.
The only info you've given is that you bust your phone doing something you shouldn't have but don't know what, and don't want to do a factory reset
Not very helpful.
In short, how can we help when you don't give any info and you admit yourself you don't know what you disabled that caused your problem?
Just downloaded a clean push service apk, didn't change anything.
Flashing stock FW will work (99.999% certain). Give more info and maybe it's not necessary, who knows? We're not telepathic.

Sorry I'm not trying to be super unhelpful, I was typing via mobile. I'm on a PC now.
I'm not rooted. It's a stock S7edge from the Netherlands (GSM). The update which caused my device to restart was a security update, I think it had the date Nov 22 or something like that.
The packages I disabled before the update and restart were:
AAAservice, Beaconmanager, Briefing, Email, Facebook, Facebook app installer, Facebook app manager, GEARVR 3x, Health service, Instagram, Kies application BnR, Mmsservice, Nearby service, Onedrive, Print spooler, Remote controls, Samsung billing, Samsung Cloud, Samsung Gear, Samsung Mirrorlink, Samsung Print service, Samsung Push service, Samsung Setup wizard, Screen mirroring, Smartcardmanager, Smartcardservice (those 2 probably broke NFC) UIBCVirtualsoftkey (that broke the home button until I re enabled them), voice service & voice wake up.
Anyway, I guess push service broke the notification tray and the smartcardservices probably broke NFC. So, how might I fix those?
BTW just installed a clean push service apk, didn't change anything.
Reflashing should be unnecessary since the tool works without root and system should be untouched.
If enabling doesn't work I guess you're out of luck avoiding factory reset.

So there's simply no way to fix, in the software, what I did to break it?
Guess I'm never going near package disable apps ever again.
You may ask the developer for an idea...
Due to the sandbox system in Android you simply can't access the areas the apps mess around with if you don't have root. In addition those disablers use Knox..
Hi,
- BK Disabler did recommend all customers enable all disabled packages before system upgrade (OTA)
- BK Disabler is using Samsung SDK to work, it means if you uninstall BK Disabler app, it will reset to default (all packages will be enable). So, try to uninstall BK Disabler app, restart your phone and try to update firmware again!
- If it still not work well, backup all your data (copy to PC, Laptop...) before go Setting -> Backup and Reset ->Reset Factory
Contact with the developer at [email protected] to get more support
I mailed him, basically he can't help ATM.
How do I download the firmware (G935FXXU1BPJG) again? I found basically only this working link:
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge/d804/PHN/G935FXXU1BPJG/G935FPHN1BPK1/
But it's going to take 8 hours.
Are there no official Samsung links? So where do these files come from?
phone was update blocked on PB5.
It spontaniously rebooted.
Galaxy s7,
sprint splash,
Then stuck at,
lte plus screen with vibration pulse every few seconds.
ran battery out...
Later,
Powered off due to 0% battery,
plugged in to charge in off mode.
found and downloaded PB5.zip.
Downloaded Odin from gs7 thread.
Unzip PB5.zip.
5 files...
AP, BL, CP, CSC, HOME_CSC
Succesfully get phone to download mode.
Plug phone into computer.
Odin has instructions to add files to each box.
But there is only 4,
AP, BL, CP, CSC.
Add 4 files, not HOME_CSC
Press start.
Pushing to phone.
Reboot.
Again stuck at LTE PLUS.
Repeat Odin, but with HOME_CSC in CSC spot,
Reboot gets past splash screens and installs apps.
requires wifi (because not activated/no cell-signal).
Then asks for but does not verify google account and stuck at google account input. Cannot get past/around. Tried reboot. Again stuck at google account.
Run odin again,
Same results.
google account info had been forgot/reset.
Google search about hard reset reveals
Google account reset requires 24hrs wait before login can pass...
Will pickup from here tomorrow...
Same Bat-Time.
Same Bat-Channel.
If you repartition in Odin it should fix this for you.
Curious?
With a fresh pushed stock rom,
Why power on thru loading apps
Then require to connect wifi and google account info?
Why other older phones (gs5/others)bypass that to home screen without connection?
the gs7 is not activated,
I activated old gs5 to sprint account while 'fixing' the gs7.
If I activate the re-rommed gs7 to sprint will recognize lte-data at boot and not go straight to require wifi connection and google account info?

I did not repartion in Odin,
That will allow bypass of required wifi connection and required google account signin?
I read on a google search that because the google account password was forgoten/recovered/reset,
Must wait 24hrs for device to login to google with new password.
UPDATE...
waited 24hrs,
Rebooted phone,
sign in to google account with new/reset info,
ALL IS GOOD...
Sprint.com,
re-activated phone to account.
Declined 'system software update'
Re-installed Package Disabler Pro'
Blocked system updated.
##DATA#
Edit
APNs
,dun
Save
YEAH!!!!
Now wife will have the tedium of re-installing individual apps and settings.
Always remember...
Never forget...
Account logins and passwords...
Cuz sometimes,
Recovering 'em creates a pain in the *$$.
I have been trying to reboot a used phone I have bought. The Samsung Galaxy J3 (6). Yes, there is a 6 after the J3 inside of a little circle. Apparently this is the closest thing that xda has to it on the forums. I have tried everything I could find on the internet to get around this google verify problem from the previous user. I have used the emergency caller to basically access everything on the phone. I have attempted to change the google account through settings, I have installed new apps to access other areas, I have have tried to downgrade Google Account Manager to disable the "error" problem in the quick shortcut app. This last method didn't work due to the phone not letting me be able to downgrade. I have installed the rootjunkie's samsung unlocker apk and got to settings. I have factory reset from here twice, with and without a password. Both did not do a thing for me. I am out of ideas. can anybody help me out here?

The issue is FRP. Someone has factory reset from recovery instead of settings.
If you can get into settings as you say then set up another Google account then switch to that account.
Restart and log into that account.
Which firmware build is the device running?

I have tried to add a Google account through several methods as well. Through settings, through Gmail app, through play store. All of which keep taking me to the same verification check screen, but it allows me to back out to the settings again.

My version is 6.01 I believe. But I cannot downgrade to the 6.01 Google account manager with new security stuff.
Your device is nearly identical to J320A & J320AZ.
I am unsure if you need to enable "oem unlock" from Dev options to flash the kernel.
But if Odin let's you this method should get you going.
