Very odd problem that I am having with Netflix. I downgraded to 6.01, and relocked the bootloader. I then went to download Netflix from the play store. It installed ok, but when I went to open it, it didn't automatically log me in. When I went to put in the password, it said I had the wrong password. I checked the password multiple times, so I know it was right. I even tried downloading different versions of Netflix from different sites, same thing. Then I updated to the lastest version of 7.1.1., and it still did the same thing-asked for my Netflix password then when I put it in, said it was the wrong password. If anyone had any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.

So I wanted to do a factory reset, to try and fix my adaptive storage issue.
It just did not work, no matter what I tried.
So, I went into the Recovery, and did a Data erase.
Now it prompts me to enter into my Samsung account - which is all fine - it worked several times before.
But now I get a "Processing Error".
The username + password is 100% correct, I can log in to my account on my laptop.
If I modify the login to some wrong one, it says "Invalid..." so I am sure it's something else.
How do I fix this?
Do I have to downgrade to LL to log in, disable lock, then upgrade, blah blah blah... tell me that's not the solution...
Oh yeah, before you guys ask: "But why didn't you just use the Reset in Settings"?
Well, I tried.
It just did not let me through the login screen. I mean, it did. Then it closed and popped up again.
Again, and again, and again.
And so I did the recovery reset. And now I am clueless. :-/
Back to basics.
Reseted my phone again. Somehow I managed to bypass login in the past - now I just cannot.
Flashed 5.1.1, but no change.
- Remade my account around 10 times.
- Tried all my passwords since I ever had the phone, with all my email combinations that I ever used for Samsung Account.
- Tried to "escape" with these bugs, but no Accessibility and similar stuff, so I can't get around the protection.
So, I will just blog about my suffering.
1 ) You can bypass the latest lock by...
2) Downgrade to 5.1.1 - but maybe this works on 6.0, don't know.
3) Install SideSync on PC, plug cable in
4) Open Chrome, install a Home Screen, and open it
5) There you bypassed. And you still can't add your Samsung account.
By the way even the website shows a quick "Wrong login" when I try to login.
So maybe the entire Samsung Account is messed up beyond repair.
I will try to upgrade to 6.0 now and pull this off again.
If that does not work, back to Youtube I go.
Does anyone have the original firmware or able to assist me with this. I have downloaded several versions online that say it is the original firmware and tried using Odin but it always fails to write. I have done everything suggested online from changing the ports, downloading latest Samsung Drivers and still keeps giving me the issue so not sure if something is wrong with what I downloaded or what is going on. I am trying to get it back to stock, but it will not allow it even with factory reset it still gives me same issues as freezing, having to keep entering the wi-fi password, a security notice error message that pops up everytime the phone is turned off and on and want go away. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! Did you found it? I need this too! please
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!
Afternoon,
First post, so please bear with me if I don't post as much information as you need.
My girlfriend has an S8, which she changed the lock code on drunk and forgot she did it, let her phone die overnight and then entered her code wrong enough times to force a factory reset. My problem now is she doesn't know her google username and password, because she accepted an auto-generated gmail account when she first set the phone up. So I am now stuck at the sign in screen asking for the account that was originally used to setup the phone.
I've googled and seen some small USB you can plugin to get to the setting screen to perform another factory reset, which I can't find information on if this workaround had been patched or not. The phone would of been using the latest version of everything before it forced the factory reset.
So first question, if I purchased this USB, would it work?
Second question, would flashing the phone with a new copy of the stock rom get around this problem? If so, does anyone have a guide I can follow? I've never flashed any phones before, but I am quite technically capable
TIA for any and all help
I received a new (to me) 2017 Shield via RMA from nVidia. I plug it in and go to set it up but when I get to entering your google account info, it consistently fails. The option to use androidtv dot com/setup and enter the provided PIN fails with "Something went wrong" (yes I'm on the same wifi, also fails when wired). The option to type in your account credentials also consistently fails saying my user name and password don't match. Now before you say "learn 2 type", immediately after not logging in, I get a security notification saying a new device has logged in to my account. This same result happens with any gmail account I try. I have factory reset the Shield (as instructed by nVidia support) to no avail. I have contacted Google support but they say it's nVidia's problem. I'm not sure what to do next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem. Did you manage to get this fixed by chance?
Yes. I fixed it by flashing a recovery image. 8.0.1 just caused a boot loop but flashing 8.0 worked.

Thanks for getting back to me. I assume that to flash a recovery image, I'll need to unlock the bootloader? I was trying to avoid flashing, but it doesn't look like another solution will work...

I tried quite literally everything I could think of - multiple google accounts, different networks including hot-spotting my cell service, multiple factory resets. It seems my problem may have been a very outdated OS as after I was able to flash, the setup process was in a newer android style. It didn't occur to me that what I was seeing previously was "old" and may explain why it wouldn't connect to google.
Keep in mind, you can lock the bootloader again when you're finished.

Cool - thanks for the advice. Like you, I tried everything too. I tried 2FA on/off, turned on the "Less secure apps" option in my Google Account > Security. I also tried to factory reset without any success, as well as using a different Wi-Fi network and opened a new dummy Google Account just to make sure my original account wasn't the problem! None of it worked and had me tearing my hair out.
I have a 2015 Shield TV that was sealed and unused until the last week. I have never seen an issue before where even an older Android device cannot be signed into Google. At least it is a lesson learned for the future....!
Anyway, I've successfully flashed a newer version of Android now and it works. Hallelujah!
Right guys I have just got a replacement NVidia pro 500gb from them for a bricked unit and I am having the same problem. As I am a novice I have no clue about flashing an updated image to it. Is there anyone who is will to spell it out for me in easy to follow instructions??
